??? It comes out on Tuesday! How could you have it for a week? You work in a radio station or something?

The three tracks they released on mp3.com aren't that prototypical Voivod. Much more straightforward rock tunes. I really wish I hadn't listened to them now. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I'm sure they'll work better in the context of the whole album; and Snake's vocals should sound better on real speakers.

Anyway, the original name for the new record was The Multiverse, each of the thirteen tracks representing a different plane of existence. But I guess Jason's still got that businessman tendency from his Metallica days, and talked them into simplifying their approach and just calling it "Voivod." A bit of a slight to us hardcore Voivod fans, but whatever. It's new Voivod! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Jason will be playing bass for Ozzy on this summer's Ozzfest (which Voivod will also be on). I hope his dedication to Voivod will remain true. But if his scraping to Sharon Osbourne's whims becomes a more permanent occupation, I hope the Warriors of Ice will have recharged enough to carry on without him.

At any rate, this is the most excited I've been to hear a new record in many a year.
