Not as good as the old stuff but still good

Despite what I've heard many say, The Fall of Troy are not at all like the Mars Volta. Given if you are into the progressive grind-solo you get from Omar then you will probably enjoy TFOT, but it's a completely different genre. Basically, take your average post-HXC screamo band, make it a 3-piece, 20-year olds who play like they're 30, and take away any mainstream inhibitions. Chromatic chord progressions, riffage that escapes the key signature, alternate timings. TFOT will take you on a sonic journey, and Manipulator is even toned down compared to their 2nd CD, Doppelganger.
