The New Mars Volta...

[Helm]

I liked the first album a lot. The second could stand to be produced a little bit better, but again, I thought it was very good. As the mars volta are nowhere near being my musical saviours, I don't have tremendous expectations of them. And this made listening to the new album a pretty good experience. Didn't assume it'd be a masterpiece, didn't assume it would be crap. It wasn't either.
