Additional InformationCloser to thrash and funk-metal than ever before, the Mars Volta play virtually every song at maximum volume and tempo -- with oddly refreshing results.
Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "Their signature riffing and convulsive time changes remained intact....There's greater scope here than ever before...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Never before have these kings of experimental metal sustained such pulse-quickening energy, honing their tricks -- cryptic lyrics, cliffhanging cries, spine-tingling rhythms -- into a screaming arrow of sound.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "There is a great leap in songwriting -- closer to classic hard-rock force and melodic drama -- that, in 'Goliath,' 'Cavaletta' and the Holy City atmospheres of 'Soothsayer,' is even more jolting than the weirdness.", Ranked #15 in Kerrang's Best Albums of the Year 2008 -- "The Mars Volta's Time Is Now.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "12 tracks of blistering post-hardcore, propulsive Latino-funk jams and progressive-rock segues...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A squall of face-melting sonics and psych-jazz explosions....The Mars Volta are making music built to last.", "With more shades of nuance and flashes of brilliance derived from that sprawling Mars Volta formula...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Their trademark psych-prog barrage is still in full effect...here it's pinned down by restless rhythmic energy.", "The Mars Volta manage their energy-changes with computer-voiced wind-downs and white noise....Undeniably brave.", "From opener 'Aberinkula' onwards what we have is the testimony of the only survivors to the court of King Crimson, a prog-masterpiece that singes ears and baffles minds."
