Oh man, you dudes are hittin' the big time now...

The Mars Volta is definitely my favorite album so far this year, get it if you like 70s prog and At the Drive-In. Flea's bass is awesome, as usual. Lots of long dub / psych parts with some good guitar by Omar of ATD-I. If you've heard ATD-I and didn't like Cedric's ranting / screaming vocals... he sings now in a pretty high pitched voice not that different from your Geddy Lee or that guy from Yes, so go into it expecting that.
