Great News

The Mars Volta has set a Jan. 29, 2008, release date for "The Bedlam in Goliath," which was produced by Omar Rodriguez Lopez. The 12-track set is the follow-up to 2006's "Amputechture," which has sold 148,000 copies in the United States.

I wasn't a fan of Amputecture. While there were a couple good tracks, it was mostly just annoying noise.

The other two were wonderful. This one...just meh.
