Anyone else listening to this new Mars Volta album?
I'm trying to decide whether it is jawdroppingly brilliant or an overly self-indulgent embarrassment. I'm leaning towards brilliant. It's gonna take a few more spins, but already it's rivaling (if not surpassing) OK Computer in terms of dynamics (VERY well recorded) and it's nice to hear an album with chops and not full of overly introspective and overpriveleged-yet-melancholy white boys who play four chords and stare at their shoes. Of all the discs that have passed though my hands so far this year, this is the first one that made me stop the car. The artwork by Storm Thorgerson (Dark Side of the Moon) is a nice touch, as well.
