Listen to their most recent album Sound Awake. It is amazing. If you like Tool/APC, I expect you would like it.

If you're asking if you should get into Karnivool, the answer is fuck yea!
I've never really been a fan of their debut EP, but I can say I've listened hundreds of times to their 2 LP's:
Their first LP "Themata" is a pretty killer CD. Great for road tunes and rockin' out. I'd recommend Cote, Shutterspeed, Mauseum, and Fear of the Sky.
Their second LP "Sound Awake" is a phenomenal album that really shows off how the band has evolved since Themata (though it was roughly an 8 year gap IIRC
). I'd listen to the album as a whole, but if you prefer to check tracks out first go for Goliath, Simple Boy, All I Know, New Day, Umbra and Deadman

Frak yeah Karnivool!
Still, Change Pt. 1 remains my favourite song by them. Was slightly miffed Part 2 didn't sound too similar-top class band though!

New song: http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/triplej/newmusic/karnivool/the_refusal.mp3
I'm hoping it's the shitty quality because the production isn't my thing, lacking compared to sound awake.

I sincerely hope this new song is the guys messing about. It's the single most awful song I've heard this year (in serious music, Minaj and Bieberstuffs need not apply) and it easily achieves that dubious honour.

Just heard this, songs pretty nice but the production is very odd, I'm also going to assume that it is some low quality single as if the album is like this
I would be pretty surprised considering the quality of their last releases.

Am I the only one that's not digging The Refusal?

Not a huge fan of The Refusal. It isn't terrible, but it doesn't live up to the (admittedly ridiculously high) standard I expect from Karnivool. It has some cool moments, but overall I'm not digging it.
I'm pretty sure it is a B-side though, so it didn't even make the cut for the album, so hopefully I like the rest of the album better.

Really interested in hearing the album after this. I think it's going to be their heaviest yet going from The Refusal and that tunings list

if you followed karnivool, you would already know this song. its been played live for more than a year. i absolutely love the song but i'm very irritated by this version considering the mixing/quality.
and everyone is saying something different. some say it's a demo, some say it's a b-side and some that it is one of the 6 tracks. where the hell do they have the informationa about the 6 tracks from?? i remember a facebook post of them saying "4 songs done, 6 to go" or something like that. karnivool better make a statement

Ok, so to add to my first post, I don't know where I heard it was a B-side (I thought it was on Karnivool's facebook but I was wrong), so it may very well be on the album.
Also, it has definitely grown on me. I wasn't a huge fan of it from the live videos, but as I've listened to it more it is growing on me.

Anyone else picking up a Mars Volta feeling at certain parts or is it just me?

Please, Ian, for the love of god do not start screaming in all your songs.

Song is honestly growing on me with every listen. Definitely difficult to get into at first though.
