Reviews"Blending the directness of OCTAHEDRON with all sorts of whacked-out musicality and plenty of synthesizers, the act delivers one cascading ride after another...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala earns his MVP status as the psychic Sherpa negotiating the band's daring synergy of modern psychedelia, disorienting new wave and the tangled weaving of prog-rock and jazz-fusion idioms...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "It is evident that guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's production emphasizes the addition of textured, skittering electronics while accentuating the polished melodic hooks...", "Their newest includes surprisingly sweet harmonies and dynamic choruses. But that's not to say they've gone pop -- NOCTOURNIQUET still packs enough sonic buzz saws to liquefy an ox." -- Grade: B+, 3 stars out of 5 -- "The results send the band's usual tornado time signatures through some serious synth-and-gear grind...", "There's no mistaking the deliberate return to character that's written all over the record from start to finish.", "Songs like the floating 'Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound' suggest this is their best record yet."
Additional InformationThe Mars Volta Grow Increasingly Esoteric on Their Spacey Sixth Album, Noctourniquet.
