INTERVIEW: Carnivores Tour, New LP Single & Transformers 4

I wonder if this means Thirty Seconds to Mars will be making a heavier album like their debut album.

 

Brilliant news

 

I got really excited listening this interview! Shit just got serious now!

And, wooow, I'm a source

 

Three headline sets is a bit excessive... Three one and a half hour performances... Ah well, I supose you're truly getting your moneys worth, but it must be super boring for fans who only like LP.

 

Yes. Yes. Yes. All of this is good news. Aside from wanting to recapture their sound from the early days. Hope the context puts this in better light as I am listening to the interivew right now.

 

^ GATS doesn't really sound like their early stuff. The only thing it has in common is that it's heavy. But really, GATS is way heavier than the same simple power chords layered. I think they just want to recreate that feeling.

EDIT: Directed at Elaine's post.

 

Oh, good. Whew. Thank ye for clarifying.

 

Seems like you misunderstood Chester here.

He didn't meant the band wanted to sound like they did back in the days. He explicitely says that the band made GATS intro the way it is "to show the transition between their "garage debut" and now". That is why GATS starts of with a "garageband" sound quality, before going to full HQ right after

Before it gets misinterpreted too, I just wanted to add that the "to excite their 16 years old selves" part doesn't mean the band wants to make music for 16 years old people. It's more in the sense of paying homage to their musical "punk/ hardcore" roots (source: Chester words from another interview )

 

Actually, Chester's words were misrepresented in the news post, which has since been rectified. Second time it's happened, hope people are a little more careful with how they edit.

 

No, just in general, as I remembered something similar happening in Kevin's news post. Apologies if that seemed passive aggressive.

In a new album cycle phase, it pays to make sure that the bulletpoints are representative of what's actually said, and it's easy to let things like that pass by in cases such as these as they're not immediately obvious. I can understand stuff like this slipping by, and don't particularly blame you, it just pays to be more cautious about these things.

 

With the way the guys are talking about the new music release, I hope this album doesn't go way underpromoted like LIVING THINGS did. There was a lot of talk with BID but once the album was released it's like the label didn't even care.

I hope it's nothing more than two singles (GATS + 1) before the album is out. A potential TF4 song will be nice though, since it'd (hopefully) be non-album-related.

 

Does this mean the album will have a late July - early August release?

 

No way
