Wish this article would go into more detail into the songs themselves and the actual music of the album, but good to read that the band is feeling inspired to reinvent themselves
The Mars Volta – ‘The Mars Volta’ review: reformed prog-punks' astounding masterpiece Another very positive review… 5 stars
QUE DIOS TE MALDIGA MI CORAZON holy crap the mars volta is backkkk. the poppiness is working so well so far and it is still plenty weird.
Tfw you know you're officially an old fuck bc you were once a wizard at acquiring leaks, and now the old haunts are either gone or don't have shit lol
I am excited, but I truly am astounded by this so far. Only eight tracks in and I already like this way more than anything they've put out since Bedlam. Feeling pretty confident about that, too. It is really impressive and the kind of work that almost makes its predecessor feel thrown together - and I enjoyed it! Edit: Palm Full of Crux. Wow. This might be their most accessible song ever and it is absolutely gorgeous.
