I voted average, I agree with wayfarer. I don't think the more subdued sound fits them as well, it sounds a little lazy if anything. Overall the album is still decent and I enjoyed it, but their other work feels far better.

You can also hear Ikey which is awesome becuase he's god on keyboards. It's far more relaxed, and as such should be listened to when you want to relax.
Actually, that's very good to hear. I'm glad I pressed you for more details. Their typical chaos began to sound redundant and at times, I heard no creative motive behind what I heard. I enjoy musicians that are aware of their sound, yet still explore outside of their comfort zone.

This album I think lacks what was originally unique to The Mars Volta... but I am enjoying the more subdued sound. I don't know if the instrumentation comes out clearer than the other albums, but it's definitely less chaotic.
