The mars volta

[Rocky Raccoon]

Ive been on a Mars Volta binge for a while now, fucking LOVING them!!
Don't understand why some people don't like Frances either, it kicks ass. Can't wait to hear the new CD!!!!!!!

 

[Necromantic-Hiko]

Don't understand why some people don't like Frances either, it kicks ass.

Yeah, I never really got that either, i actually prefer it to De-Loused.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Mars Volta is weird. weird can be intriguing.

 

[Dalkaen]

Yeah, I like Frances the Mute more than De-Loused as well. Still haven't really decided where to rank Amputechture.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

just got Amputechture!!!
Fucking loving this album so far aye. Especially tracks 6 & 7!!!!
Artwork is cool too, another job well done for TMV boys

Has anyone else realised that Tetragrammton is the story of the betrayal, death and ressurection of Christ?

Check out these lyrics;

"You locked the cuffs, arsenic erupts
will you drink the shadow, of my rair hair"

"Unwrap my corpse, and let it thaw
In the eye of the needle I can't get out

They'll check my wrist, I'll faint a pulse
I'm not the human, you thought I was"

Word, to the Mars.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

How would you guys descibes TMV's music to somebody who has never heard them before?

 

[Powers]

Fucking weird, but very good.

 

[Dalkaen]

Progressive salsacore.

 

[Towedwart]

There is no core.

In an interview for San Diego's FM 94.9 Omar Rodriguez-Lopez stated that he was halfway done with the recording of the fourth album, will begin mixing it in January, and resume touring in February. He also stated that a DVD about the band is in the works that documents everything "since the first practice until yesterday." [5]

A new track, presumably off of the 4th album, entitled "Rapid Fire Tollbooth" was played live for the first time on 9/22/06 in Chicago, IL, as reported by fans and attendees of the show who had received set lists from the stage.

in other words, Amputechture just released and kicks arse, and they're already about done with the next album, so looks like we'll throw in yet another new release to look forward to next year

 

[Jon Snow]

Great band. I love all of their releases so far, especially the new one.

 

[Pethical]

i got amputechture last week and give it two thumbs up, imo: better than frances the mute but worse than deloused. all three are excellent though, of course.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

I think I might even like amputechture the best now after having it for a good week...

 

[all_sins_undone]
