The Mars Volta


Octahedron

The most accesible record by TMV so far, and I have to say it was fine.
A little tamer in the guitar wankery and the ambient BS, and heavier on the acustic, soft ballad side (I think I rather like Cedric's emotional tones).
Omar Rodriguez Lopez is excellent as usual.


Favorite track so far: Since we've been wrong
