The Mars Volta. New Album.

This came out of nowhere for me.  New self-titled album from The Mars Volta.  What a great thing when a broken-up okayish-band regroups after 10 years, crosses genres while maintaining some sonic continuity, and creates a timeless and inspired opus.  What an accomplishment. Confrontationally creative. Hits musically first, then you realize you are also listening to an abundance of audiophile goodness as well.  Wasn’t really a fan of The Mars Volta before this album, but this is a blast.

If you are using Roon with Tidal it shows the wrong date for the album. The date reads as November 23, 2004.  And last night it was in the EP’s section instead of main albums, but that part has been corrected now.  Everything shows up correctly when looking it up in the Tidal app though.
