I gave Antemasque a quick listen, and considering I'm barely actively listening to music these days, it just doesn't sound like something I'm gonna be bothered with.
The Mars Volta, as much as I love them, have always been a band that, after the initial honeymoon period with one of their albums, didn't get a ton of replay.
And then suddenly this month, I'm putting them on every day, and they are pretty much all I'm listening to.
I've even been thinking about the (for me) almost inevitable question of "condense this band into 80 minutes", which, considering Cassandra Geminni is one of my favourite songs by any band, and I couldn't possibly leave it off, is a difficult one. This is the best I can come up with:
1 Tira Me a Las Araņas / Drunkship of Lanterns (I originally downloaded these two as a single track way back in the day, and they're inseparable to me)
2 In Absentia
3 Asilos Magdalena
4 Viscera Eyes
5 Ilyena
6 Wax Simulacra
7 Goliath
8 Cassandra Geminni
Obviously missing some biggies though (for me, Soothsayer, Roulette Dares, Cicatriz ESP, L'Via L'Viaquez, and Trinkets Pale of Moon).
