What do we make of The Mars Volta's new album?
I think it's decent enough, but I can't say I'm hugely fussed on it. People said 'Octahedron' sounded incomplete, but I really liked that, and instead think this one sounds more like a patchwork collection than their other albums. Ideas are certainly present, though a little half-baked, and for the album that has taken them the longest to release - by a fair margin - that's a little disappointing. VERY surprised to see it's receiving their best reviews - or least polarising, should I say - since 'Deloused...'
Thoughts?
