I wouldn't say it was awful but it didn't sound too great either. He can't scream like he used to, or maybe doesn't want to. He sang like he does now for The Mars Volta, all high pitched which is fine, maybe screaming takes too much of a toll on his throat now. Either way I really enjoyed it.Originally Posted by seasonsinthesky

Can anybody give me some stand out songs off of In/Casino/Out? How does it compare to Relationship on Command?
Flaccid Member
I like it more.

"Alpha Centauri", "Napoleon Solo", "Shaking Hand Incision", "A Devil among Sailors", the difference is mostly the production, the sound is "less polished" and more "hardcore" it's also a bit more Punk than ROC

Agreed!
Glad to see fellow ATDI and Volta fans here. Anyone got any good Sparta live videos?
Matador de Froot Loops
Sparta is so underated, poor guys i saw them live and they got their asses booed by the third song...
Stubby Member
Aw, that's sad. I heard they are much better live than on record, I watched a Letterman performance of theirs last night and enjoyed it. I'd like to watch the ones other fans think are good, though, I think I got their album once a long time ago and didn't like it. I'll have to give them another shot, I thought Jim sounded amazing.

Yeah they did a show with Mewithoutyou here in KC back in 2007, and it was sold out. EVERYONE left after MWY, and I'd say only 20 people were still there for Sparta, and even then no one was really paying attention.
Matador de Froot Loops
What a shame, Sparta are awesome and deserve better, i like all the 3 albums specially "Porcelain"

Has ATDI had any specific reunion merchandise at their shows, kind of like Refused's "Refused Are FuckingDeadActive" shirts?
Active Member
No sir, just regular ATDI shirts, I was scoping them at Coachella, but it's just the same boombox shirt but it's orange.
As for the Refused shirts, those were just for Ponoma apparently. The ones from Coachella had nothing indicating the reunion. Though I did get one saying "We're Taking the Airwaves Back"
Active Member
Damn. That's a slight bummer. Would have been cool to have an ATDI shirt that said "The station is NOW operational" on it or something.
Flaccid Member
There is this shirt but according to Cedric's twitter it's only available at the Texas shows. http://instagr.am/p/JYlhmUr4T_/

Pretty sure it's doomed to fall short like Refused did, but I'm optimistic.

$ is the only reason for this. Nothing ATDI-related seems even slightly organic with that prick nowadays.

I'm not even surprised when broken up bands get back together anymore. I'm on the line as to whether it's a good idea or not. You have situations like Swans where it works out brilliantly and they expand on the legacy of the band. And then you have something like ATDI which seems so forced and uninteresting compared to the original iteration.

Just saw a short 10 second ATDI commercial on fuse just now with the date at the end.
This is going to be big.
Squeal like a pig.
Isn't that just the one they already put out?
also I know it's off topic but that Refused album was damn good for a 17 year break after one of the most influential punk albums in the past 30 years.

I was hoping for Antemasque follow-up album
Throbbing Member
Well Antemasque, to me anyway, was the sound of what an older, more mature ATDI would be doing anyway. So I would imagine they will sound fairly similar in sound. But I too was looking forward to another Antemasque album too, especially since at some point they said they had enough material recorded for TWO albums!I was hoping for Antemasque follow-up album
Here's a new interview with Omar and Tony about the big new ATDI announcement.

I really enjoy the new song! It's energetic, fun, has strange turns of phrase that only Cedric can deliver and sounds exactly like what ATDI should sound like.
But it's getting a lot of hate on social media and extra saltiness about the lack of Jim Ward. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The problem with bands like ATDI and Refused reuniting and continuing is that for many people, their music is tied to a youthful energy and rebellion. A flashpoint of emotion in your life that an older you, try as you might, will never recapture. Because of that, anything these guys do afterward will never stack up because it doesn't have all of those same great associations or the ferocity of youth. Plus they're not angry young men anymore either. They're...angry middle aged men, lol.
So if you're hyped, welcome aboard what will probably be a very fun record. If not, bypass and just keep listening to your old records and don't worry about this. A healthy, intelligent discussion is one thing. But when people on social media and such spend so much time and energy bashing something, it just feels like such a waste and I feel sorry for them. I'd rather focus on the things that I do enjoy and that do make happy.

I think every band suffers from this, to an extent. The thing is, you see a regular band evolve album after album, they're less and less what they were, and so are you, and you get accustomed to their evolution.
When bands reunite after such a long while, all that evolution happens more or less behind the scene, the identity of the band has changed in the very eyes of the band members and you never got to witness that. So when they come back and deliver new music under the old moniker, the dissonance is all the more jarring... Imagine Bowie going from Outside straight to Blackstar, or Radiohead from OK Computer to A Moon Shaped Pool, NIN from The Downward Spiral to Hesitation Marks. Obviously the fans are going to be pissed off and feel cheated.

Liked the new track; it's "At the Drive-In by the numbers", nothing to scream about but good enough to be interested.
Im a bit skeptical because Jim Ward is not around, but i'll give it a shot...
