Description
The Mars Volta return with a fresh dose of e
pic rock 'n' roll on their third studio album, Am
putechture. The eight-track set o
pens with the seven-minute Vicarious Atonement, the closest the grou
p has ever come to a ballad. The album then moves back to familiar ex
pansive musical territory on the nearly seventeen-minute Tetragrammaton and also features two other tracks that clock in
past the eleven-minute mark.
In addition to contributions from Red Hot Chili
Pe
pers guitarist John Frusciante, Am
putechture also features
Paul Hinojos' first studio work with
the Mars Volta since joining as a touring musician in 2005. Hinojos
previously
played with Mars Volta
princi
pals Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lo
pez in At The Drive-In.
Am
putechture is the follow-u
p to 2005's Frances the Mute, which debuted at a career-best number four on Billboard.
