So, I don't know how many of you are fans of The Mars Volta, or emo for that matter, but on Tuesday, the new Mars Volta CD comes out, Frances The Mute.

The Mars Volta is a pretty popular band, but, they are one of the few mainstream bands that I honestly give a damn about nowadays.

I've had my pirated copy of the CD for about 2 months, and I've only listened to it once or twice. I've been trying to preserve the originality of the CD. The thing is, the final version has been changed from 5 tracks, one clocking in at 31 minutes, to 15 tracks - which means the whole CD has been broken down - for simple listening. That sort of upsets me, because I would rather see a band be more gutsy and take a stab at appealing to a smaller audience, but whatever.

Circuit City is selling the CD for $5.99, so I'm thinking this is a steal. I plan to pick my copy up on Tuesday. Any comments?
