Old Money (album)
Old Money is a studio album by Omar Rodríguez-López released by Stones Throw Records in November 2008, and is the musician's first album on that label.[9] Rodríguez-López explained that the album is "loosely based on the concept of exploitative industrialists and, well, their old money."[10] Stones Throw Records released the vinyl version of the album on February 6, 2009.
Rodriguez-Lopez has hinted that this record was a potential follow up to the 2006 The Mars Volta studio album Amputechture until he changed his musical direction.[11] Many songs share similarities with previous Mars Volta live jams, although to say which came first is difficult knowing Rodriguez-Lopez' musical tendencies.
Metacritic gave the album a 70/100 but erroneously referred to it as "The debut album for the Mars Volta guitarist." [12]
