^^^I'm with you about being on the fence thus far. I gave it a real good listen today, and there are a few tracks that just grab you and hold your throat for a while, but then there are some that border on pretentious, overly busy, and pointless noise that doesnt go anywhere. I also feel Cedric's vocals are a little too "doctored", I like when they just let him sing and not make it sound like there are 6 of him singing into a fan. Anywho, dont get me wrong, it is a SICK album, Prigden is absolutely a monster, I am just going by the first few listens...

Naw I'm with ya for the most part. And Thomas is really adding a new level to the sound. At many point in the album my jaw was practically on the floor because of his rhythms and fills.
I too have been listening to the new Mars Volta album. It is so good. I feel like I need to buy 20 copies of the album and give them out to my friends. If I only had the money.

The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath
Day 2 of listening, and holy hell is this album a monster. Cavalettas & Ouroborous are amazing. There is FAR more energy on this album than any in the past, I think it has alot to do with Mr. Prigden. The entire time it just keeps going, it gives you a second or two to catch up, then wham, back at it again. I really dig the step away from the psychedelic drawn out songs, it adds interest and makes you wonder what they'll do next.

I'm willing, at the chance of losing some cool to sumit this.
It’s not really hip but let’s do some southern and slightly country music,
WHAT ?
OH YES WE CAN DO THIS! OF COURSE WE CAN! JUST CLOSE YOU’RE EYES AND BE STILL FOR A MINUTE OR TWO
Simply a bit too lite, Perhaps, Well it’s ok, I can deal with that. From my view her song writing is in it’s infancy but a least notable from my southern perspective.
