Just got it yesterday and it is really growing on me. Not what I expected at all... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I think it's really bad. I had never listened to the Mars Volta before, and this sounds like cock-rock to me. I was expecting good music. What is going on? |

it seems to divide people. |

i like it, but theres something about every track lasting 4 hours that makes me not want to listen to it much |

same feeling here...not a good interpretation of the debut album. |

ive listened to this a good few times now, i think the first track is amazing, the second is average, and the last one (subdivided into 10000 tracks) is very boring, overly long and even the catchy bits are quite weak. Ah well. First album is a lot more fun i think |

I am hooked on this album now. My first impression was that the tracks were too long winded but now I really like this. Album of the year.... |

this album officially bores the piss out of me. Vocal wankery and guitar masturbation to make up for a lack of well thought out content. This album should have been an EP. |

Some parts of it are really good I think, but I think the more experimental parts aren't really fitting. The 'noise' type parts aren't even that good actually, and seem like pointless noodling after the tracks reach a high point and probably should end. I do love the more straightforward tracks, but it's like they just tacked on a bunch of weird sound effect parts to appear 'avant garde' or something. The songwriting is the strongest point, I feel, but even in the actual songs, some parts sound like a ten year old just discovering a delay pedal or something. I'll need to let it grow on me a bit longer probably. |

it scared me with weird dynamics. |

compared to de-loused it's complete shit. only good tune is cygnus vismund cygnus. |

I have been listening to this a lot recently and although I must admit I do prefer De Loused, It has parts that make the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The second Guitar solo on L'Via L'Viaquez gets me every time. Can any Spanish speakers translate what he is singing about on this one for me? |

i have a friend that wont shut up about this album he finally made me listen to the majority of it. i dont understand all the fuss |

I'm undecided as to wether this is good or just slightly enjoyable. I haven't given it enough time on the cd-player to have a final opinion, cause other records has pushed it back in the listening-queue. |

The Widow is catchy as hell, but the verses remind me of the verses from "Hotel California" or something like that. Good song though, minus the wanky keyboard stuff at the end. |

Also, does anyone else perceive this guys lyrics as some kind of one-man Dada revival at times? Not that it's a bad thing, it's just a little much at times. But at other times its captivating, when it's teetering between gibberish and simple near-brilliance. ...Difficult to explain... |

You mean like exo-sceletal junction at the railroad delayed from De-Loused? He's did lyrics like that in At The Drive-In too, so I guess it's just his style of writing. One-man Dada revival was a nice way of describing it, I smiled a little when I read it. |

...i got it lately, it's my third listen now and this is likely to be my favourite album from 2005. i love it. (just the endings of the tracks may be a bit overlong.) |

I still don't why people like all the electronic noodlings on it. I think they add to the atmosphere really well. I have heard worse. Still like this album alot. |

I bought it when it came out, I think it's definitely an acquired taste. I saw the Mars Volta in concert, and they put on an insane live show. The lead singer is all over the place, making bizarre noises. I give a thumbs up to both the live show and the cd, though. |
