i thought that if a pre ordered it...it would take longer to be shipped than just waiting till it was released and going down to a shop and buying it. Either way...i've never been so stoked for a band to release a cd.

i have a confession...i broke down and downloaded the Widow off the net...i feel guilty for doing it...but honestly...it just made me want the cd more. if the Widow is any sort of hint as to what to expect...this might just be an even better album that Deloused!

i liked their 1st cd and am a huge at the drive in fan but i saw their new video and didnt think it was anything special. Have you guys heard any of the other tracks on the new cd? is it worth pickin up?

A lot of good memories were had with "At the Drive-in".

Matt! If you want a good Guelph artist, pick up Gentlemen Reg, or go see him play. It's good stuff.

yes its worth picking it up. its absolutely SICK beyond words.

its 4 tracks, but 77 mins long. the last track is 31 mins. its kinda like cicatriz esp how there is just a crazy ass solo in the middle. yep. you'll probably wet yourself after listening to it. its just that good.

as much as i loved ATDI's relationship of command cd, i think i like the mars volta more.

i got it today and its real good. right now its hard to deside if its better than the 1st one cus ive only listed to it once but deffinatly worth buying. there are more than 4 tracks i think there was like 11.

there are only four tracks, not including the self titled track which i dont think is released in USA.

1. cygmus...vismund cygmus (or something like that)
2. the widow
3. l'via, l'viaquez
4. cassandra gemini

there are several movements within each song, however, but the movements within a song all seamlessly follow one another. the songs are different.

the four tracks are divided into a, b, c, and d's though....but yeah...if you like quality music...go buy it steal it burn it whatever you have to do to get a listen...its fan-f*cking-tastic the whole cd is musically creative beyond words....go get it...now

love the cd and i just bought tickets to their concert and im so stoked to go, just kind dissappointed its 2 months away.

and to what Michael Manzer, said, dont burn it, the mars volta is one of those bandsthat you wnat to support as much as you can, and not rip them off.

scott a, you forgot about "miranda, that ghost just isn't holy anymore as the 4th track

yeah, i knew i forgot one of them, but it was so far after the fact that anyone who cared would already have the album and wouldnt really care, either.

am i the only one that loves listening to the entire 31 mins of cassandra gemini without inturruption? it sounds like sex. thats right kiddies...sex.

why the hell dont they come to norcal??! son of a crap. they play in SD AND LA, but no SF...what gives?
