Amazing doesn't describe anything. Give us something that will make us want to listen to it.
Especially for someone like me who didn't like the EP.

Like De-Loused, Frances the Mute is a concept album. I'm not familiar enough with the "story," (so I won't try to go into that) but the musicianship is very tight on the cd. The guitarwork is much more technical than it was on De-Loused, but still retains the "Mars Volta" feel. The songs flow very well from one into the next, and the order of the songs compliment eachother.
Francesfeels very well thought out, contains soaring, explosive moments, and is just as powerful as "De-Loused." It seems to me that the Mars Volta has made progress with their new cd, and it's all for the better.
Frances the Mute is mature, intricate, experimental, and enthralling.
Needless to say, I like it a lot, and think you should give it a shot.

mars volta has one of the most modern progressive styles i've ever heard. these guys are super weird, super talented musicans. i read an article on their drummer in modern drummer and it was really moving and kinda got me into them, but before that i couldn't dig it, the arrangements are just a little too complex to follow. you've got to give their musicianship props tho.
