It was a giant step in the right direction, in the world of rock music, for the time period it was released (think boy bands). The Mars Volta on the other hand is where it's at. I've been collecting their vinyl releases since their debut EP when they were on GSL. Each package is beautiful and their music is top notch. But to poo poo Frances.....come on! It is by far the best release in their catalog, and it's on GITD green vinyl. and RE: shows, I saw them live in 2005 and the show was as good if not better than anything they're doing today. Maybe it was more focused because they had less material to work with, I don't know.

Which one is only limited to 300?
"A Plague Upon Your Hissing Corpse" there are various colors evidently. Mine is red and I got my cousin an orange one.

'Relationship of Command' was the first record I every bought. I bought it from their label online...waaaay back in the day.
That same year, I found 'In Casino Out' at a now-defunkt record store in Austin for $4.99.
Those babies are both pretty pricey nowadays.
<JackWhite> Hamptonio: yes, and tell the lovely wife that i really love the pot pie recipe. i can't get enough LOL! anyway, let me know when you get that package of test pressings i sent you.

You do know that's a bootleg? They have a thread about it on the comatorium; You may have to dig around for it but it's there. It's a good song, but not an official release. How much did you end up paying for it?

Only like $6. Pretty great song though. I didn't know it was a bootleg though. That's cool. My Frames is only black. :(

This At the Drive-In station is now operational... sort of. In recent interviews, guitarist Omar Rodriguez-López has explained that the newly-revived ATDI will not record any new music, and that the reunion is mostly about nostalgia and money. Three cheers for honesty.

"We're not getting any younger and there's been an offer of money every year," he told NME. "You'd be a fool and a politician to pretend that wasn't part of it."

"Will there be a new album? No, no, no. At the Drive-In is more of a nostalgia thing-- it's songs we wrote when we were all in our 20s and we're doing a couple of shows", Rodriguez-López told Kerrang (via NME).

Some more gems of candor from Rodriguez-López: "Obviously [the reunion] is going to be weird. It's like getting back with your ex-wife, only in this case there are four ex-wives!", he said in the NME interview.

In addition to their previously announced sets at Coachella, At the Drive-In have also announced a performance at the Benicassim festival in Spain on July 12.

Hey, at least he's honest. :lol:

As an FYI, they're reissuing Relationship of Command. If anyone finds any more concrete details of when and how many, let me know.
