While no phones were allowed inside the box, multiple comments on Reddit claim the cube previewed a new song. One user called WolbachiaBurgers wrote, "Song was interesting, not as crazy or intricate as other tracks. A lot more “mellow” I’d say. Couldn’t really hear the guitars, a whole lot of hand percussions but overall it was decent!"

Away from the Voltacube, fans noticed that The Mars Volta wiped their social media accounts, hinting at a new era.
