The Mars Volta-Amputechture

[Hrigg]

Anyone get this CD yet?

I just got it a few hours ago and I'm pretty impressed by it. It's better than Frances the Mute but it doesn't live up to De-loused in the Comatorium.

Still a very solid album.

I loooooooooove Tetragrammaton.

I listened to a couple of their new songs. Up until that point I had never heard the band before. They're pretty good, a little boring at times, but I won't be getting the CD. It's not really the music I'm in to.

Is it 30 minutes of random noise like Frances? I mean, being pretentious is okay, but that was a whole new tub of hummus.

I enjoyed the review of this in the "Your Band Sucks" column on Something Awful.

As did I.

Some favorites:

On Tetragrammaton: "The passage starting at 9:16 sounds like a botched attempt at the chorus from Mr. Blue Sky by ELO."

On Day of the Baphomets: "Okay, I’ve picked it up about ten and a half minutes in, and there’s some wickedly irritating call and response going on between squeaky-voice #1 and squeaky-voice #2. It sounds like Alvin and Simon having some kind of screaming argument, and I want no part of it."

Pure fucking garbage.

I prefer masturbating to porn, not guitar feedback.
