      Øya was 06 btw.

      It couldn’t be on Dime because it was lossless. Someone posted it on a private tracker way back when in good+ quality. I haven’t seen it since, but most of it is on Youtube anyway (except Manmower/The Wheel)

        Well, that’s a matter of taste Marty. I wasn’t too thrilled about the jam in the studio-version of Sunship, but I grew to accept it. I might with Starhammer’s jam too, but it just felt like it coulda been better. Really really like the build-up at the end of it though.

          Finally I’ve heard the album as well!

          Don’t agree too much on the Barracuda tendencies. Only the main riff of W.B.A.T could’ve been on Barracuda as that one is a bit cock-rockish.

          First impressions:

          Starhammer: IMO they unfortunately start off the album on a weak note. The main theme is great of course, but the jam doesn’t really go anywhere for quite a while. Then suddenly it builds up to a cool explosion and then back to the main theme. So far for me, it’s the weakest song on here, but there are vast possibilities of jamming in a live context. Potential live-monster.

          X-3 (Knuckleheads In Space)/The Getaway Special: Two songs in one really. First one is a Deep Purple-inspired speedy rocker with the catchiest chorus on the album. Then halfway it becomes a jazzy instrumental with great trumpet from Mathias Eick. Messy, but entertaining as fuck.

          The Bomb-Proof Roll & Beyond: They’ve learned a trick or two from Mars Volta lately. There is a section of white noise midway here similar to the one on Conjugal Burns on the Bedlam In Goliath album. And lotsa tricky vocal-harmonies too, esspecially near the end. Cool stuff.

          Close Your Eyes: Piano ballad with usual Bent vox. Some background guitar picking and noises (e-bow possibly?). A good breather inbetween all the bombast.

          W.B.A.T: More Mars Volta in the beginning, Kenneth’s best percussion performance of the record. Then turns into a Barracuda-influenced riff and later grows and builds, grows and builds. Great fucking song!

          Gullible’s Travails I-IV: Agree with every word Marty said in his review. There is also a hidden outro at the end which sounds like it was tacked on randomly, having nothing to do with the rest of the piece. Classic song that should be performed a lot during upcoming gigs. Only a couple sections of Phoots Flower made it on here. Ending is very Fragile/Close To The Edge/Relayer-ish.

          So a very good first impression actually. Starhammer being the worst doesn’t say much because it’s got some great parts, but the jam was non-descript and a bit low on energy. But be warned: This requires a lot of listening! But all the more rewarding in the end, I guess.

                I don’t think I’ve ever seen that new song posted (which apparently was an early version of Sunship which was played during those summer festivals)

                      FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Just got an e-mail from Platekompaniet saying that the release of Heavy Metal Fruit has been delayed until January 18th :evil:

                      On the other hand, good to see that Phoot’s Flower ends the album. Can’t wait to see what they’ve done with it since 2006.

                        The cosiest MP song ever is possibly Blindfolded, there’s just something about the arrangement…

                        Otherwise I agree with most of the others already mentioned.

                          Well, in retrospect Jacco did his best. I heard an interview which was posted on Motortrades where Bent said that unfortunately they were under-rehearsed before the spring 2006 tour. And the performances are too uneven (even though the Brussels gig should be heard by any psychonaut who gives a damn).

                          The summer festival-gigs that year were also hit-and-miss. However, the autumn tour in Norway was pretty damn good! But by then he was leaving the band, taking a year of from his work to play with MP. So one can say that Jacco was only a temporary solution.

                            That snippet of WBAT sure sounds pretty Mars Volta-ish, what with Snah and Kapstad being spotted at their Oslo-gig this year and last year.

                            And yeah, every single song sounds fucking promising! But it pisses me off that the release is 3 weeks away, while a bunch of people already have their copies to play to death during Xmas :twisted: Yeah, it’s jealousy shining through allright. Could anyone who has the album at least post who wrote what?

                            But I’ll wait. I am after all so privileged to be following such a great long-lasting band.

                              Grrrrr, it really pisses me off that so many people apparently has heard the album :evil: Cool with the Black Sabbath comparisons, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is my 2nd fav Sabbath album.

                              January 11th just seems lightyears away….

                              But to those who have heard the album: Does anyone know if Phoot’s Phlower made it onto the record?

                                I agreee, Spele PÃ¥ Gitar is the best track on there. Possibly one of the best pop-rockers Geb has ever written. In Strumenthal is also kinda cool, very MP-ish drumming there. Nice album.

                                  Here it says that Supersilent is the supportband – is that correct? Weren’t they going to do the concerts together?
