roffle.

I plan to buy it. My mind needs a good exploding now and again.

Apathy:
I don't quite know what The Mars Volta are trying to accomplish, but it's certainly 'interesting' music.  Not bad, though.  I quite like some of it.

Conatonc:

--- Quote ---Yeah, only five songs, but each song has movements (or whatever they have termed them) so its probably a few more tracks.

I saw an interview with Cedric (or Omar, whatever) and he said something about 5 songs only counting as an EP, so they felt it was necessary to split the last track up to avoid contractual difficulties later on.

I like TMV well enough, I thought De-Loused had some wonderful songs on it, and a lot of pointless noodling. But since Frances is also coming out at a low, low price, I will be picking it up this week for sure.

Staplegun:
I happen to think that they noodle and meander quite well.

Johnny C:
Yeah, apparently Cedric leaves, uh, something to be desired.

And apparently the new album's meanderings do not include two-minute segments of dripping noises and open guitar clicks (see "Cicatriz ESP"), and instead focus on shifting melody! Hooray!
