I voted Excellent, I think it's the best one yet.

I voted excellent. This is the album that all the haters have been wanting them to make for years. Though I loved most of their earlier work too, I appreciate the band's kinda stripped down, direct approach on this album. It's definitely a bit of a shift in style this time, but it's great.

I'd rank this third, behind De-Loused and Frances the Mute.

I voted very good, because relative to De-Loused and Bedlam I can't give it an excellent. Still one of the better releases of '09 so far though.

I havent heard the album yet but have it downloading, almost guaranteed to be good, coming from such an excellent band.

I'm gonna vote very good. Right now, it's in 4th place as far as TMV albums go. Bedlam being in last.

I'm glad they didn't make another Bedlam or Amputechture, but that doesn't mean i especially enjoy this one. After one listen it might grow on me later, but for now i stand at very good, even though I'm more inbetween that and average. I just love The Mars Volta and everything they are regardless so i boosted my rating a bit.

Still, worst album so far. It had to be made though.
