The Mars Volta/At the Drive-In/Omar Rodriguez/etcetcetc

[E-Money]

Yea it's really just  a bunch of stupid shit.

Anyway, lately TMV has been playing a lot of De-loused and Frances live, which is cool.  They say that TMV is taking a break this year....maybe an ATDI reunion?  Probably not =(

That would be way too amazing, were not that lucky

[Corleone]

I didn't even know about octahedron? Shows how much this band has fallen off for me.

New Mars Volta Hoodie


one of my favorite books as a child.


i thought that was pretty cool.

[theis]

Damn, that hoodie is fucking awesome. Gonna buy that shit.

[lostpilot]

yes, that hoodie is indeed awesome.

[theis]

Anyone got a front picture of it? Can't seem to find one.

[raynor]

I liked the intro, but then wtf!

[Deftones-argentina]

actually I really liked that version, they did a good jo reinventing the song, a few elements are a bit off but overall it's a nice rework.

[Oldnewtype]

yeah i agree, its nice to hear a cover that sounds so different from the original

[lostpilot]

how good is Cryptomnesia?
Haven't heard it yet.

I wish there were more Omar Rodriguez songs like 'Hands Tied to the Roots of a Hemorrhage", not just random chaos

[raynor]

It's alright, better than Octahedron in my opinion.

[Northcal]

Anyone remember this band.any thoughts?

[Oldnewtype]

Of course. Whats TMV been up to anyway?

[mr.sinister]

They have been releasing the follow to Octahedron for the past 3 years. Supposedly they already recorded a whole album, scrapped it, recorded another one, scrapped it and now they are working on another one. I think they might be on a small break because I haven't heard anything from them in a while.

De-loused is obviously one of the best albums of all time.. and then it just kinda took a slow curve downward from there.  Though all their shit is pretty beast.

Noctourniquet CD-rip: http://uploaded.to/file/ghti9aei/The_Mars_Volta-Noctourniquet-2012-BriBerY.rar

I'm lovin' this album.

[An bád dubh]

For me, the first reactions are rather mixed. It'll need many more listens before I can say how I exactly feel about it.

I'm much more excited about the At the Drive-In reunion and their first live shows coming now in April.

Oh yes we are.

The new album is sexy, I wasnt expecting to like it because I pretty much hated Octahedron and Amputechture, but it's one of the very few albums where I like every song on it. My favorite album frm them has always been The Bedlam In Goliath, and that's a very chaotic-sounding album, and this one rivals it in my opinion. I'm always amazed by their ability to explore new directions while still retaining their sound.
