Hot on the tail of their former compadres in Mars Volta, Jim Ward's considerably more reserved Sparta clan have announced the release date for their new longplayer.

Threes will be released on October 10th, while its first single 'Taking Back Control' will for whatever reason help to soundtrack the new 'Madden 07' gridiron game. Oh, and that banshee that wails so well over the end of 'Gimme Shelter' is going to do backing vocals on the track 'Translations'.

Here's the full track listing:
'Untreatable Disease'
'Crawl'
'Unstitch Your Mouth'
'Taking Back Control'
'Erase It Again'
'Atlas'
'The Most Vicious Crime'
'False Start'
'Weather The Storm'
'Red.Right.Return. (Straight In Our Hands)'
'Without A Sound'
'Translations'

The new Mars Volta album was played this morning at DiS HQ - Cedric raps. It is, quite frankly, ridiculous.
