^^^ +1 Reubent!
I've found that to be true with a lot of my albums. Still not there with this one though...
The Mars Volta. New Album.
This came out of nowhere for me. New self-titled album from The Mars Volta. What a great thing when a broken-up okayish-band regroups after 10 years, crosses genres while maintaining some sonic continuity, and creates a timeless and inspired opus. What an accomplishment. Confrontationally creative. Hits musically first, then you realize you are also listening to an abundance of audiophile goodness as well. Wasn’t really a fan of The Mars Volta before this album, but this is a blast.
