looking forward to it. I cant stand critics.
" Here, they seem hellbent on making an album that's as contiguous as possible, and the result is a homogeneous shitheap of stream-of-consciousness turgidity."

hahaha... Fucker..
I've just been playing their curent albums and I must say they twiddle about a bit too much beyond their talent I feel...

pitchfork hated the last one too. most reviews at pitchfork are obnoxious. they give xiu xiu a 9 and mars volta gets a 2. pretentious bullshit most of it..
the album is brilliant btw. especially the song Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore. 13 minutes of bliss.

allmusic.com seemed to dig it. Best music reviews on the net...
Pitchfork is getting too big for their britches.

Goodie!

I just read the biography on their updated site. The album is titled 'Frances The Mute' and is based on a diary that a former bandmate found while he was working as a repo man.
A very interesting read. Head to their site right now and read it. If the biography doesn't just make you burn to hear the album, then get the hell out!!

I'm still pissed they bankrupted Grand Royal with that ATDI deal!
- phatrick0
can't wait for the new album...i saw them open for a perfect circle last year and i have to say that they totally stole that show...made a huge fan out of me!
- fullerc0
it has to be better than any of that Sparta crap.
- usrper0

got a pre-release copy a couple weeks ago and listened to a couple songs. pretty weird stuff but so was their last album. i think i'll need to listen to the entire album a few times to know what i really think though
