The Mars Volta
prog-like band which fuses prog, blues, a bit of jazz, and of course, internal headphone gravy. some despise them. some bow to them. all and all, a great band regardless.
no example
…the closest you will ever get to the best music ever invented.
the mars volta is an eargasm addiction, give me my daily fix of vitamins t-m-v now!
everything else just sounds so…boring
a band that originated in texas from post-punk at the drive in, (also a great band), and decided to reform to develop numerous concept alb-ms. the first, being de-loused in the comatorium (the story of a past band member julio venegas who commited suicide), is a masterpiece, blending latin roots (some members are hispanic), trademark post-punk rock riffs, jazzy interludes, progressive and experimental synthesization and much more to create a deep, emotion-filled record. their recent release, frances the mute, is just as legendary, yet focuses more on the song length and digital paraphernalia rather than conventional song-structure. and for the mars volta, this is definetely a good thing.
the mars volta are indeed a special group of musicians. their cd booklets are strewn with philosophical and aesthetically stimulating images and words, fueling their contemplative sound. they cross many boundaries and break the barrier between conformity and musical subconsciousness. they are madly orginal and insanely creative.
best band to form from a breakup in a long while. plus the intense sound will keep your heart racing while cedric’s lyrics rival the mad genuis of les claypool’s.
“was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face? a room colored charlatan hid in a safe? stalk the ground…”
prog band from texas. mixes alot of salsa, and jazz with there straight foward prog-rock. amazing lyrics, will blow your mind. your ears will -rg-sm to omars wicked guitar while you listen to cedrics voice.
“frances the mute is one bad -ss song.” (notice i said song, not alb-m
“frances the mute is one bad -ss alb-m”
“de-loused is better than frances the mute alb-m.”
great band, great lyrics, great music. great. lyrics werent written by cedric but by omar
the mars volta > you
band that caters to striving pseudo-intellectuals. looks deep and meaningful on the surface, but has no more substance than 80’s b-tt-rock (hair) music.
the mars volta and system of a down, while their music is pleasing to listen to, and seems to have deep lyrics are pretty shallow. they rely on simple-minded bush bashing (soad) and big words haphazardly thrown together (the mars volta) to sound creative, unique, and hardcore.
