"Mars Volta"

All I've been listening to for the past few days. One album, over and over again.

It's crazy, but it's also incredibly...involving. At frst it sounds just plain odd in places, the lyrics are abstract, at other times plain as day....but at some point you realise it's absoloute bonafide quality. You listen to other songs from other bands (who shalt remain nameless) and realise that Bixler/Rodriguez et al are just insanely good musicians with a certain flair and spark.

Hell, download Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt from DITC, and just listen to it. The solo in the middle is fantastic, but also the ending....and that's the thing I love about MV - they have traditional gei-tar etc, but also crazy sounds and lyrics..and... well, just get Deloused in the Comatorium now. In my opinion, they are > ATDI.

Yus.

'Noowwww I'm loooossst'

God damn, just the stuff.

sorry

New album out soon!

WOOT!

I found them strange yet odly alluring.

Tosh

Pish

'One Armed Scissor' still pwns anything they've done to date.

I still like Televators best... I can't get into the other songs as much.

Boring is the last word you could possibly use.

Meh...

I don't like MV. They bore me with their techno-musing-undertones.

Yeah it's a truly great album. I bought it last year just after Reading and have started listening to it a lot again lately.
