I was sort of disappointed by their new album. But it's still The Mars Volta, so it's still good.

I like the new album because it isn't boring like the old ones, and they dont indulge themselves in too many super long guitar noodly songs. I don't aways care for the vocals, but its good.

ATDi>Volta>Sparta>God.

And wait, indy. It has more vocals and less ambient shit? If so, I might actually check it out.

[indy]

yeah, TONS more. the vocals are pretty spazzed out though, so I can't listen to a lot at once. just go to their myspace, I'm sure there are tracks up to check out.

The Mars Polka...now that's a band

[Jaejae]

Yeah, I like this one WAY more than Frances the Mute.

The songs on the older albums did tend to get a bit long and boring.

The only Mars Volta album I physically own is Deloused in the Comatorium.
The album isn't that consistent, but it's still my favorite. It's just one explosion of creativity after another.
I believe it's also their only album produced by Rick Rubin. You can't go wrong there.

And yes, their songs got long, but they never got boring IMO.
