New Mars Volta album

Post by Naveed75 »

i haven't posted here in forever but i am a constant lingerer. For those of you interested The Mars Volta has a new album coming out august 22nd called "Amputechture". I just heard it today and it's the most incredible album i've ever heard.

if i seem like a noob i offer my apologies. I swear i read this thing everyday but when it comes to online message boards im usually the quiet type. this album has me excited though and i felt compelled to share... =)

new single is on their myspace

That probably wont make much of a difference.

Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

This is an excellent cd. Very cool hearing them do an acoustic track too.

the new drummer does make a bit of a difference. the songs don't sound quite as chaotic as they used to, but they definitely flow together better. this album doesn't jump all over the place as much. they also used a lot more wind instruments too. there's quite a bit of saxophone and definitely some accordian.
