Hopefully it's similar to TBIG, that was by far their most consistent album in a while.

I still need to hear De-Loused. All I've heard is Frances and that was a bit dissapointing.

Deloused > Frances > Bedlam > that other one, merkaba

I dont really want this to be an acoustic album.

Seriously pumped for this! Frances and De-Loused are both definite contenders for 5s in my book, haven't heard the other two yet but I might just wait to shell out on them along with the new one when it comes out.

When I first listened to these guys, I just wanted another At The Drive-In, but they proved to be even better than that. Album should be awesome.

why don't they just give in to temptation and name their album "Pretentious"
The first track will be called "DWEEDLEDWEEDLEDWEEDLECONGADWEEDLEDWEELDECONGACONGA"

That'll be the whole album.

Am I the only one who thinks that "Octohedron" is the worst name ever?

Anyway, I have a strange love/hate relationship with Mars Volta. Sometimes I hate them, but when they're good, they're REALLY good. Ilyena and Goliath are frickin groovy.

Time for another round of GUESS THAT MARS VOLTA SONG TITLE!!

My predictions for this album's song titles:

- Oblongara
- Pigmenstration
- Minutia My Replica
- Souk Aras
- Latice Blooms (The Construction of a Eulogy Atop A Centrifuge Dialated) XXVI: Cholera, The Silent Apostle
- Xghmd

I doubt anything Omar writes for the rest of his life will be better than Frances in my eyes, but I look forward to being proved wrong.

I can't wait, i herd a while back it would be more acoustic influnced, i also read frusciante is back playing some guitar. add this the list of incredible release due to drop this year. i wish minus the bear or battles
could work this fast.

They were sooo much better than TMV.

the reason this album came out so soon was because TBIG was finished almost a year before it was released. you can blame warner bros. for that

in my opinion,

amputechture>TBIG>FRances the Mute> Deloused

i meant universal ha. i overplayed delouse because it was the only tmv album ive had for awhile which is probably why i dont like it so much. then i heard everything else. it went uphill from there.
