The Mars Volta = great rock

'The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium'

so good, I can't even explain it, EVERY SINGLE TRACK on this
record is solid, I think this deserved the award for "best
album people will probably never hear" there's some insane
drumming, some nice epics, and guitar licks that will make
you cry, the only way to show you waht it's like is to
offer you a track.

if you like it, spread the word, and for fuck sakes BUY THIS
ALBUM

it is very good but, "best album people will probably never
hear"? a lot of people are buying this, this is a somewhat
big seller, seems more people are buying it than sparta's
album which is way more accessible...strange.

it's a good album, but all the songs do the same thing, so
it's kinda tedious.

I dunno. It's alright, but it gets annoying... I listened to
Relationship Of Command and In Casino Out last night and I
just think ATDI were much better. The best track TMV have
done is 'State Your Preference', which isn't even on the
album. In fact that track sounds more like ATDI, I dunno who
actually recorded it.

nope, dlj has nothing to do with tmv
tmv - sparta - at the drive in
drive like jehu - hot snakes - rocket from the crypt

that are relations i can think of now

anything pre relationship of command is too emo and
uninspired for the most part, roc is pure energy, as is the
mars volta.

i heard Mars Volta for the first time the other day on
Muchmusic, which is odd because I can't stand most music on
music tv stations these days. I was quite enthralled by the
song, and was surprised to see this post up on the board the
same day. It's nice to see some rockers out there who aren't
riding the emo, suburbia punk or nu-metal bandwagons. Good
stuff. I will get the album once some fundage comes my way.

see...which is funny, because my favorite atdi album is
acrobatic tenemant. i think that's their best stuff. and i
like sparta even better. *shrugs* they put on a mean live
show, too (though it's a shame i've never gotten to see
cedric do his thing...).

rocket from the crypt is coming to calgary sometime soon, i
believe. i'll be out to see it, of course. =D

posted from this FAQ:

Q: I downloaded a song that doesn't sound at all like
Cedric singing. What is this?

A: There is a lot of confusion about what songs are actually
The Mars Volta and which aren't. Me, Intial, Bunel Home,
Bach Song, Corelli Theme, and Things' Fear are by an Italian
electronica band called Mars Volta (without the 'the').
State Your Preference, Eat The Sun and Untitled Demo
#2 are all mistitled versions of Cicatriz.
On Kazaa
you can also find dummy songs such as I Cut My Teeth (by The
VSS), Glue In Carpet (by The Locust), and Wasting My Air.
However, Ambuletz, although it sounds nothing like all their
other songs, is indeed a The Mars Volta song.

well i'll get it.

well said.

I find the few songs I've heard just to be too
overwhealming.

maybe it's just the frequencies, cuz I can listen to VSnares
blow my brain with noise, but I can't handle the distorted
guitar with the singing.

Perchance I haven't listened enough, but sometimes too much
good stuff is too much.

I'm not sure, I might get it again cause thinking about it I
didn't give it much effort, but the opening three tracks
were drivel and I kinda switched off after that...

Play 'Cicatriz' on the radio. If you mean no obscenities by
"clean", that's the way to go. Don't play the album version
cause it's 12 minutes long, the demo or whatever is like 5
mins long. And better. And stay away from Inertiatic, it's
on MTV2 ALL the time and does my head in...

i don't care about radio friendly in regards to music.. last

right now i'm leaning toward "Inertiac ESP" cos i read the
lyrics and they're clean

i couldn't stand it when i listened to it a few weeks ago!
Much too hectic. It seems like all the songs want to go in a
different direction atleast 3 times a minute :-)
It doesn't become irritating, just boring. In the end i just
totally forgot i was listening to it, couldn't get into it
at all

The first song, whatever it was called, was okay (but
nowhere near as good as anything on Relationship of Command
imo), but it all went downhill from there.
