    Nice, I hope you get to check them out when they visit Europe. I just saw them the other day and wow, what a show!

    I hope you like live drummers because Pridgen is a beast.

    Where did you see them Red Lukin and what can you tell about the setlist and the length of the show?

    This album is fucking awesome. I can listen to it straight through. And remember: Thomas does NOT use a double-kick pedal!

    Haha Beav, you must have heard about or went to the Tor show.

    Life, I saw them in Toronto, and at MTV the next day. Cedric jumped at me, basically crawled down me and crawled on the floor. It was weird.

    As for the show, it was 2.5 hours. 1/2 of the show was from the new album, then had 4 songs from Amp, 2 from the first album and one from frances. I won't go into too much details about the songs (don't wanna ruin it for you), but Thomas was amazing. And Omar played some sweet riffs on the guitar. Cedric is still a mad man.

    I must say it was a mind blowing show, but I prefer the show back in 05'. That show from the Frances tour was unbelievable, and sure Thomas is a wicked drummer I still prefer Jon's drumming. Jon isn't as fast, but I love his style...he just draws me in.

    You're in for a treat either way.,,

    Uhhhhh...you've obviously never heard a real noise band. The Mars Volta are the farthest thing from noise.

    I generally agree with a lot of the stuff you like but here we obviously are a bit different.

    I picked up the new album today and listened to it on a client visit. got all the way through it once. I can never tell how much i'll like a Mars Volta album on the first listen but this one has promise.

    To my ears they are far from noise. i love the way they jam together.

    To your ears perhaps. I prefer to listen to music I like than to things that I think make me appear smarter.

    And I fucking love The Mars Volta.

    Too soon to judge for me, Volta albums always take a little getting used to.
