ArmsofAtlas Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Haven't seen much mention of these guys around these parts. They have moved up my fave bands list so fast. Right now they are in the revolving 3 spot. Prolly the most ridiculous amount of musicianship seen anywhere near mainstream, since Zeppelin. Their guitarist, Omar Rodriguez Lopez is the mastmind, and they are all around a very eccentric group. And their music can be over the top in its ambition. Their 4 full length albums are all pretty amazing. What are some thoughts on em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 De-Loused In The Comatorium is an amazing album. I haven't liked anything else they've released very much, though I haven't listened to the newest album yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelmon Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Muse sent me Deloused a few years ago and I was hooked ! I now have that, Francis the Mute and Bedlam in Goliath....and that's my favorite release from anyone lately.... Definately one of my faves for the decade so far.... The new one is morning maniac music ! The drummer NEVER lets up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidmoon Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 <-- This is what I'd do to my computer if The Mars Volta found their way into my music library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmsofAtlas Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Muse sent me Deloused a few years ago and I was hooked ! I now have that, Francis the Mute and Bedlam in Goliath....and that's my favorite release from anyone lately.... Definately one of my faves for the decade so far.... The new one is morning maniac music ! The drummer NEVER lets up ! Amputechture is my fave. The new one is growin on me, but its the first one that I didn't love immediately. I like the quiet loud dynamics and the new one busts ya right in the mouth from the first second. To the poster above.... You should really just delete them, if you don't like em. In my experience "bad" music has no effect on the rest of the music in my library. Just curious, but what have you heard from em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

040879 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Been wanting to ask any Mars Volta fans this question....does the singer remind you of the MC5 singer, in terms of general appearance and stage moves? Obviously, MC5 singer from the late 60's/early 70's ,not now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
