Who has heard his recent, self-titled solo album? I can't find any clips of this material, and it's a rather pricey investment. I do love his work, but I don't know if it's worth the extra money on top of the other cds i'm going to be buying shortly. I need some input from those who have heard it, or know something about it. Thanks.

I'd say get it but not immediately. It's a very nice album and I like it a lot during my certain moods. If you like his playing on the albums you'll like this album. But I'd get your more important releases first.

All right, thanks. However, I forgot to mention this: the source from which I purchase my music only has one copy left in stock, and it's an import. So if someone else picks it up before I do, it may be a while before I get another chance.

Is it like A Manual Dexterity? tell me how it stacks up with that, because I have heard that one.

well...it "stacks up" well...it can be more diverse at times, and other times a little more annoying. I like it more I think, and if it's an import, I'd definately get it. YOu might not have another chance forever...so knock yourself out. I'm surprised it's expensive...it was $12 here...

If you liked AMD you'll like this I'm willing to bet.

Where did you find your copy?

I'd also like to know if there is excessive noisey sections. I'd rather it be filled with music rather than noise. I get enough of their noise already.

well i don't know exactly what you mean by "noise". the mars volta is noise (but in an amazing way) so you'd expect to have some wouldn't you?

i live in  chesapeake Virginia and i got it at best buy =)

Is his solo album avaiable in stores?  I'm a resident of the US (Pennsylvania to be exact.)
