I'm assuming the number one costume at their New Years Eve performance will be "Douchey Hipster". Followed closely by "date rapist".
I'm stoked.

I find it promising that the track listing has 12 songs rather than 3...

This record will make Radiohead look like The Ramones.

These pretentious assholes are a waste of space on way too many college students' iPods.

Oh, and am i the only person that thinks that at the drive in is one of the most over-rated bands ever?

They have yet to maych the awesomeness of their 1st record. The others were border-line pretentious.

Ooohh, I want some conjugal burns. Hahaha.

I liked their first record a lot, their second one didn't really do much for me though. I haven't heard anything else.

This seems like a departure from their previous albums, but instead of going off on a tangent, they're coming back from being on one.

I guess I respect these guys for trying to be different [and I mean really, check out that guys nipples], but it's not for me. Give me some At the Drive-In though, and. well. Fuckyes.

I thought this album was gonna be lots of shorter songs, but it looks like it's not.

Oh well.

I think The Mars Volta new stuff is going to be amazing. People say they are doing just weird stuff but i think they are just trying new stuff which like any music genre it would seem different and riduculous but frankly, you have to start somewhere. I love At the drive in and i grew up with their music and i would love to see them at a reunion show(which sounds like it won't happen ever) but i can see how they just wanted to be new and start new because they were pretty old by the time they finished at the drive in. i can't choose either band, i love them both. also their song titles are either latin or spanish and well omar and cedric who are the main composers are hispanic so thats alot of their titles are non english of some sort.
