Summary: Finally .....I Love it.
Comment: I have to say I wasn't very impressed with this album when I first listened and then for a few months after that. I thought it was the "boring rock n roll record" I thought you would never want to make. I thought it was a backwards step. But over time and repeated realizing how great the songs actually were and started getting off on how much energy and vitality there was in the performances. This has definitely been a grower for me. It is great that each record they make is so far removed from the previous one. I am forward to the new one for sure and considering they have a contract that allows them to release one a year. I do not have long to wait. I have to say the only reason this gets a four is because I still think Cavalettas drags itself too long. and plus for me I still think Frances The Mute is their crowning achievement. I think in 10 or so years people will realize that how remarkable it is. But hey maybe they will prove me wrong with the next few records they release.

Summary: rad
Comment: at first i wanted to say that compared to deloused they've strayed too far etc etc, but omar is just letting all that wretched energy in his little head explode in each album... here's another example of that. second half of the album is the best. and instrumental at the end of the first track is... sweet. k bye.

Summary: Mars Volta's best
Comment: I don't write artistic music reviews. Let me just say that I have listened to this album almost every day since it was released, and I am still far from bored or sick of listening to it. I have not listened to much of my other music this year, Bedlam seems to have sucked the life out of it all. I hope the Volta unleashes more brutal assaults on us soon. I hear the next album will be mellow/acoustic.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cool
Comment: This album is a thrill ride the whole way through with amazing musicianship. So few artists can really compare to this group at its best, and their debut can't be matched. This is a really great CD if you're into their eclectic sound, but at times it's a bit too much.

Summary: Solid
Comment: The Only problem I have with this album is Tourniquet Man, The album flows well till this track but picks back up again. The one thing Ive always loved about TMV was the fact you never had to skip a track while listening to an album, This aside the album is great. I have read alot of negative reviews on this album but all you really need to do is listen to the radio for a few minutes and you will remember why you like TMV!

The genesis of The Mars Volta's new album The Bedlam in Goliath is a tale of long-buried murder victims and their otherworldly influence, of strife and near collapse, of the long hard fight to push "the record that did not want to be born" out into the world. Omar was in a curio shop in Jerusalem when he found the Soothsayer, an archaic Ouija-style "talking board." Had he known at that moment that the board's history stretched far beyond its novelty appearance, that its very fibers were soaked through with something terribly other, that the choral death and desire of a multi-headed Goliath was waiting behind its gates... well, he might have left it at rest there on the dusty shelves. The Upside of That Choice: No bad mojo unleashed. Erase the madness that followed. Erase the bizarre connection to a love/lust/murder triangle that threatened to spill out into the present every time the band let its fingers drift over the board. The Downside: No Soothsayer means The Bedlam in Goliath never would have existed. And it turns out that this demented spiritual black hole of a muse has driven The Mars Volta to produce a crowning moment in their already stellar career. The band names this Ouija board "The Soothsayer", as it offers them a story: It's always about a man, a woman, and her mother. About the lust floating between them. About seduction and infidelity. And pain. And eventually, murder. Entrails and absence and curses and oblivion. To understand the full story....listen to "The Bedlam in Goliath."
