If you haven't listened to it, it is time to do it and have an opinion.. 
For me, the best MV ever!

Is tomorrow the official release date? If so, I'll definitely get it tomorrow. I will probably be able to get a € 15 discount with my advantage card, so the price of a new CD won't be too hard on my pockets.

For me, second to De-Loused and almost tied with Frances. They really bounced back.

It is such a amazing album and very different from their other albums, very close to being their best work yet, it is up their with De-loused in the Commatorium

Haven't heard it, and none of these posts enlighten me. =(
Is it as powerful and as "important" as De-loused? I don't mean aggressive by this - I want to know if it recaptures the feeling they gave me with their first album, making me know their music was powerful and new.

I think it is really catchy.. I find Amputechture and Bedlam the two most catchy, because they're heavy and more "sure". I found the first 2 albums a bit "experimental", to try how Mars Volta were...

Of course, it's a premature opinion and I heard it in a low-quality format in freenapster. Still, I am not excited with this album.
Luckily, the avant-garde is subdued a bit, but the vocalist is even more annoying than before and the music doesn't have as many memorable moments as in their previous album (the only MV album I enjoy)
Still, more listenable than their first 2 albums, and there are some good songs, the best being "Soothsayer" which sounds like ethnic musical exorcism.

nada en especial, es un disco recargado de efectos y por momentos monotono.Se extraña la simpleza del De-Loused...y la certeza del Frances the mute.Se esperaba muchas mas de este nuevo album, pero solo fue una decepcion.La ausencia de Jon en la bateria ha dejado un hueco inmeso, el cual thomas pridgen intenta hacer olvidar con una bateria virtuosa y por momentos exagerada.
En conclusion, un disco totalmente plastico, con una estructura musical casi repetitiva,algo mas heavy pero sin sentido.Han disparado con una rafaga a todos lados, pero no se dedicaron a apuntar al centro.Temas rescatables:Aberinkula,Wax simulacra,Goliath.

lol, How are we supposed to know that? I haven't listened to it yet, and don't plan on doing so until I have a jewel case and booklet in my hands.

Not really, but it is a good album nonetheless.

I don't feel they are progressing very well, in fact I don't see the album as a step forward at all. TMV are standing still, while the album was not bad i am dissapointed because it sounded too much like stuff they had already done.
