My opinion?

Probably my favorite so far (although I haven't heard Deloused, only segments), but it's still not a masterpiece. Probably a 4.5 where FtM is a 4.

I was thinking of writing an incredibly, ungodly long review for a random album simply to prove really long reviews are pointless, but I'm too lazy. Wink

I strongly recommend you do it, I'll read it.Wink

I actually had it planned.  I was going to review Islands and write about 10 paragraphs simply on the art of the front cover. Wink

Maybe a minute. Wink
 
Compare that with all of De-Loused and a good chunk of FTM.

It's wonderful. Especially Day of the Baphomets. The music fits the title and lyrics so incredibly well.

Great album. The only part of the album I don't like is the intro to Tetragrammaton. DOTB is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Into this wild Abyss the fiend
Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,
Pondering his Voyage.

So it has been released!
Absolutely amazing that manages to sound different from both Frances The Mute and De-loused. I really did not like it at first but after a few listens i could really appreciate what was going on! I think it is even more complex than their previous releases, especially Day Of The Baphomets was particullary complex and it is perhaps my most favourite track on the album! But altso the intro on Tetragrammaton is really amazing each time cedric comes in....just beautiful! Smile
I also really like the chous on Vermicide and also Viscera Eyes is great and these songs are sort of "less-complex" and sound more like earlier material and is a nice relief from the more mightier songs like Meccaamputechture.
Vicarious Atonement shows a nice and hauting intro which stays in a realtively slow mood for the entire songs which is quite untraditional for Mars Volta, also Asilos Magdilene provides a nice breather from the more complex and heavy music. All in all El Ciervo Vulnerado is the only track that i don't find that interesting but still it has a nice way to end Wink
 
Well, what do you others think about the record? Smile
