Custom Hype Sticker On Shrink. "Landscape Tantrums Is Not Just The First Attempt At Recording The Music That Would Become The Mars Volta’s De-loused In The Comatorium, But Rather Manifests That Much Of What Would Make The Mars Volta’s Debut Album Such An Electrifying, Sublime Experience Was Already In Place: The Fearless Invention, The Fusion Of Futurist Rock Elements And Traditions From Outside Of The Rock Orthodoxy, The Sense Of Virtuosity Working In Service Of Emotional Effect. More Than Mere Historical Curiosity, Landscape Tantrums Is An Essential Text For The Dedicated Mars Volta Aficionado, And A Breathtaking Album In Its Own Right." Clouds Hill Recordings more

	Octahedron Colored Vinyl - New - CH 185 Sealed 2022 2LP Limited Edition Reissue, Pressed On Red & Curacao Translucent Coloured Vinyl. "For Punk, Metal, Or Hard Rock Bands, The Unplugged Album Is The One That Shows Whether They've Been Succeeding Simply On Energy And Volume Or Because Of Real Talent. (Anyone Who Remained A Skeptic Of Kurt Cobain's Songwriting Skills Must Have Been Converted By Nirvana's Mtv Unplugged Masterpiece.) And Octahedron, A Quieter And More Subdued Mars Volta Album, Proves That Same Fact (If Not At The Same Level As Nirvana) For A Band That's Perpetually Lived On A Knife's Edge Of Tension. Recorded In Less Than A Month, Octahedron Is By No Means An Unplugged Album -- It's Not Acoustic, It's Not Confined To Ballads, And It Includes Consecutive Hard Rockers In "Cotopaxi" And "Desperate Graves" -- But It Charts A Different Direction For The Mars Volta, And Proves They Don't Need To Shuttle Between Dynamic Extremes In Order To Succeed On An Artistic Level. The Format Allows A Greater Role And More Space For John Frusciante, Who Accompanies Cedric Bixler-zavala's Vocals Well, And Also Provides His Own Highlights, Channeling The Edge On The Emotional "Teflon" And, Later, Echoing Pink Floyd On "With Twilight As My Guide." With A Few Exceptions, Zavala's Lyrics Are As Arcane As Ever; The Glossary For "Halo Of Nembutals" Alone Would Include The Words "Vermin," "Sloth," "Ringworms," "Necrophiliacs," "Carcinogen," "Asp," "Communion-shaped," And "Palindromes." Still, They Achieve Scrutability Far More Often Than In The Past, And Reveal More Of The Tenderness That Was Occasionally Visible In Mars Volta Material. ("Since We've Been Wrong," The Single And First Track, Is Especially Affecting.) Calling This An Unplugged Album Is Useful Only In Relation To What The Group Has Produced In The Past, But What The Mars Volta Created On Octahedron Will Provide Them With More Range And Opportunities In The Future."

	The Bedlam In Goliath Colored Vinyl - New - CH186 Sealed 2022 US Indie Retail Exclusive Edition. 3LP 180gm Remastered Reissue, Pressed On White, Gold & Glow In The Dark Vinyl. Housed In A Gatefold Jacket, With Custom Hype Sticker. "It Can't Come As A Surprise That The Mars Volta's Fourth Album Opens With A Bang -- Sonic Terrorism Is One Of The Only Things Listeners Can Count On From The Band -- But It's Genuinely Novel That The Bedlam In Goliath Never Lets Go Of Its Momentum, Not Even After A Full Hour's Worth Of Unrelenting War On Silence, The Wrapping Paper For A Concept Album About The Power Of The Occult. On Their First Three Proper Albums, Cedric Bixler-Z avala And Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Played Games Of Quiet-Loud-Quiet (Or Loud-Quiet-Loud), Sneaking Around Stealthily For Minutes At A Time Before Detonating Another Blast Of Thrash Metal Riffing And Piercing Screams. The Bedlam In Goliath Is Simply Loud-Loud-Loud, Virtually Every Song Played At Maximum Volume And Tempo. But, In Fact, Instead Of Being Wearisome Or Exhausting, It's An Oddly Refreshing Album. The Band Gets Closer To Its Roots In Thrash And Funk-metal Than Ever Before, Avoids Using Electronics Except Where They Can Make A Big Impact, And Finally Lets Semi-Permanent Guest John Frusciante Occupy A Readily Discernible Role. The "Goliath" Of The Album Title Is The Name Given To A Spirit Conjured By A Ouija Board That Rodriguez-Lopez Bought In Jerusalem; The Band Used The Board Heavily While On Tour, And It Supposedly Brought Bad Luck To The Entire Recording Process -- Including Reports Of Computer Poltergeists, Flooded Studios, And A Nervous Breakdown For The Album's First Engineer (Who May Have Simply Been Driven Over The Edge By The Band's Musical Extremism). Musically, It's The Funkiest Work The Band Has Ever Done. No One's Going To Confuse Them With James Brown (Or Even Red Hot Chili Peppers), But In A Ten-Minute Streak That Runs From The End Of The Third Track, "Ilyena," Through The Single "Wax Simulacra," And To The End Of "Goliath," An Eight-minute Extravaganza, The Mars Volta Finally Seize The Mantle Held By Rage Against The Machine For A Dozen Years (Thanks In Large Part To Frusciante, As Well As New Drummer Thomas Pridgen). The Band Also Exhibits More Patience On The Bedlam In Goliath Than It Has In The Past. No One Who Cares About The Band Should Be Interested In Hearing A "Maturing" Mars Volta -- You Might As Well Ask For A Sun That Wasn't As Hot -- But The Band Has Shown The Ability To Mature In All The Ways They Can Without Losing What Makes Them Unique. The Album Is As Dynamic As Ever (It Seems To Live Perpetually On A Knife's Edge Of Tension), But It's More Closely Composed Than Amputechture Or Even Frances The Mute. This Should Have Been The Album Where The Mars Volta Either Wore Their Formula Down To Nothing Or Abruptly Turned In A Different Direction, But Instead The Band Created An Album That Nearly Perfects What They've Been Working Toward."
