the bedlam in goliath
as the title says, this will be a album review...the bedlam in goliath by the mars volta
i'm not going to lie, i had my doubts with the volta after hearing amputechture thinking they finally had gone off the deep end and were never coming back.
boy was i wrong
goliath picks up in my mind where francis the mute left off, high energetic, fast frantic songs. from the opener on this one you know you wont be bored while listening to it, and all songs are under 10 mins (not to say 9 mins is not long...) but it seems the volta is back to making music not making silence. the thing that i like the most about goliath is the punk influence seems to be back. and omars guitar work is just amazing, he solos all over the album and it dont get stale at all. the only con to the album is the songs seem to be alike in sound. its not a bad thing but it feels like the days of each song being sonically different (deloused anyone) are over. still a very solid release. with something amputechutre dont have to me, replay value.
i can say the mars volta is finally back. 4/5. the dvd that came with the record is good as well. awesome live show! i must see them!
