I think the old board has just been deleted. I got a place holder page when I refreshed a topic. Fuck.

Listened to all 3 songs.

Convinced of The Hex - Can't wait to hear it live. Like It!

The Impulse - Not sure if it's meant for live. At 1st I thought it would be a great replacement for Vein Of Stars but then I couldn't understand any of the words. Gonna take a little bit to figure it out.

Silver Trembling Hands - Can't wait again. Not as insane and thrashy as the poor YouTube video would suggest. Nice break downs.

Very pleased overall. Much better than our 1st peek of AWWTM. Remeber that? Ambulance Driver. I was like oh no.

This is like: Oh yeah!

Loving this too, My fav right

Loving this too, My fav right now has to be silver trembling hands, I like the energy, i like the harp, i like the build up and release with the middle parts.... convinced of the hex is cool, i like the messiness. The impulse eh. might take a couple few listens to grow on me... not that i dont like it, kinda radioheadish... still a good song tho...

Impulse is Radioheadish? You mean Miles Davis and Pink Floyd-ish.

wow

"Silver Trembling Hands" is epic .. it is like Joy Division jamming with Miles D. And then right before the vocals come in that traveling from speaker-to-speaker sample of what sounds like someone running as if we were listening to Dark Side of the Moon.

"The Impulse" is filler.

"Convinced of the Hex" is also top notch.

Excited for Embryonic? Yes. Hope it's out soon and they play some new songs in August..

Man I needed a Flips Fix

That hit the spot!

Hope it doesn't alienate too many who expected something a bit more Yoshimi like... I'm so glad they're still "Fearless".

This is the Psychedelic Trippy shit I have been jonesin' for. I may have to buy two or three copies just to show my support.

Maybe we can just mail a cash bonus to the PO Box direct?

I'll take it on Dolby 5.1 DVD too please!

Thank you lads, sincerely! Cannot wait for the rest of it!

so what does everyone

so what does everyone think?

I feel like all 3 have a lot of promise for the album.

How many tracks will the album have you guys think?

Joined: 06/25/2009
I like all three tracks, but

I like all three tracks, but "The Impulse" just seems like x-spacey-Flaming Lips-existential-slow jam. "Silver Trembling Hands" is by far my favorite. It's a return to the band's pych-punk roots, but done so much better.

new songs

The Impulse does not do anything for me, maybe if the vocals were not processed.
the other two work for me and get better each time.
I really like the messy chaos of Convinced of the Hex.
Silver Trembling Hands works too but feels like it needs one more thing from Steven to make it break through.
What a great way to end a rough work week than to have new Lips songs.

I seem to be the only one, but I love The Impulse. I currently rate it above The Hex actually, but Silver Trembling Hands still wins.

Definitely a step up from Mystics, but I'm really not blow away or anything. I'd say all 3 songs are alright, kinda where my expectations were anyway.
