    Getting Paid is nothing but a precise groove of excellence.

    It's all played with an energy and focus that will impress even the most die-hard fan of '70s prog who claim "they just don't make 'em like that anymore".
  3. Delusions of Adequacy

    This small grievance aside, Getting Paid is sure to delight not only the Mars Volta fans out there, but also anyone with a passing fancy for artists ranging from Geddy Lee to Jack White.

    Many of these songs blur together into something unexpectedly tedious, despite their constant jumps, or maybe because of them.
