"The Mars Volta : Noctourniquet "


  

          


blah blah blah...Jon Theodore.

blah blah blah...De-Loused & Francis were blah blah blah

Giving this album a first listen, now.

Say what you want about this band, all of their albums have managed to hold my interest in one way or another well beyond their marketing campaigns have ended.

Considering this material has been sitting since '09 waiting for Warner Bros. to green light it, I find it how odd how I can't think of any other "groups" who's albums I wait for anymore.

Music, how you've changed.

Anyways...

I saw them open for Soundgarden last summer with their newest re-vamped line-up (featuring the excellent DeAntoni Parks on drums, and some dude named Lars on synths) and didn't care much for the new material they played. Might've been the Soundgarden factor eclipsing TMV (and boy did they).

I saw the same group billed as The Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Group 6-7 months before the Soundgarden gig...and they kicked a lot of ass. So, go figure.

The last one "Octahedron" was kind of a snoozer...coming off the heels of the extreme awesomeness that was "The Bedlam In Goliath".

This one so far feels like their version of The Cure's "Disintegration". lol.

It'll be interesting to see if this album grows on me.
