Anyone? Their new album Octahedron is out. I’m giving it a first listen now and I really like it. More vocal than their past albums, but still keeps that same sound. 7.5/10 so far ---

I LOVVVEEEEE Mars Volta. I only buy albums from Sonic Boom and I have not been in Seattle for a few days. I will be picking it up today right after work. I have been waiting quite some time for this album and I was not too hot on their last. De Loused is my fav! ---

used to play Houston a ton as they are a texan group, sorta the grassroots beginning BUSH had around here. fun group to go see at a small venue, haven’t heard their new stuff as of late, have to check it out. ---

I saw them live a couple years back… great show despite the fact that I have never seen a band so obviously high on drugs take the stage. ---

I really enjoyed de-loused though. still listen to in-casino-out all the time UUUUGH I agree but I hate to say it because I am a huge mars volta fan. Also I give the new album 7/10 it might grow on me more though I only listened to it once while driving and yapping on my phone through some parts. I hated the way it started wtf was that shit. ---
