i\'ve heard it. not sure what i think of it yet. frances the mute was such overindulgent trash, that i\'m having a hard time not thinking, "oh **** you, you\'re not the hotshit you think you are..." whenever i hear their stuff. there are parts of this record i like. i have to listen to it again.

:shock1: Damn! Glad you\'re not the guy doing my annual review at work!

In my opinion Omar just reached for greatness but fell a little short. I like how he goes for broke.

On the new one I heard Frusciante played almost all the tracks for Omar to listen to for a 3rd party perspective. I wonder how much of John\'s work made the final cut?

omar could be great if he\'d try to learn more about music and practice more. the guy obviously has a great ear and a lot of talent, but his technique is like someone who is pretending to be really good at guitar but in reality has NO idea what they\'re doing. it sucks, i try so hard to like the mars volta, but they keep making that a really difficult task for me.
