>there was a new Mars Volta album this year
Did anyone even know this happened? Did anyone listen to it?

No I didn't know, though I never liked this band and haven't followed them. I don't know how they developed over time, but whatever this sound is seems to have very little relation to what I understood Mars Volta to be.

>>126852659 (OP)
The last album was awful. Are they still doing pop shit?

>>126852659 (OP)
I was distracted by new records from Ringo Starr and Mogwai. Dream Theater came out with a new one as well.

>>126852659 (OP)
better than the last one and at least somewhat interesting in structure. not that it means much at this point.

The Mars Volta fucking sucks dude

>>126852864
Yes, but not as bad as the self-titled.

I listened to it a few days after it came out. It's fine. Pleasant enough but also pretty forgettable, a lot like the album before it.

I can't even imagine a person who's capable of caring about TMV past Bedlam

>>126853758
Yeah, my interest in them cratered after that shitshow. They did redeem themselves with the two much better albums after Bedlam, though.
