lol for a kid wearing my mars volta shirt right now.....i actually agree with you.



Across amp-octahedron theyve had like 4 amazing songs, whereas everything they did prior (including tremulant) was awesome. De-Loused is so perfect man, I just hope noctourniquet rekindles my love for them.

yeah. only some of it is like painful and awful, like just a little bit. most of it is just over-produced, yet brilliantly arranged......pop i guess. a few tracks rule, others are just overdone and annoying.

YES! everyone that has heard Noc has loved it from what i've read. and cedric sounded fucking amazing on malkin jewel.



"The Texan is as challenging and uncompromising a presence as his band’s latest record. Music desperately needs frontmen like him right now."



love that.

This doesn't have any god-awful moments, like every other album by these guys

I un-bumped, because a 4.5 was a little too much. However, this is still among their best
