Anyone into Mars Volta? (1 Viewer)

[Jeff O.]

If so, where do I start? I have been hearing a little of them on XM radio and am curious.

Happy holidays to everyone.

Thanks-Jeff

If you heard them on XM, you probably heard stuff from the first album, "De-Loused in the Comatorium". I think both that and "Frances The Mute" are great albums. I haven't heard "Amputechture" yet.

Great band. Frances the Mute is a great album its just that there are parts where you really REALLY want to hit the next song button after 3 or 4 minutes of wierd noises non stop. I made a cd that has the actual song Frances the Mute from a free Best Buy sampler I found a few weeks ago. You are going to need itunes to do this though, but I have each song (and Miranda that ghost isn't holy anymore and cassandra Gemmini are combined) All you really have to do is, take out the last 4 minutes of Cygnet, the last 2 min of The Widow, and the first 4 or 5 minutes of Miranda, and each song fits on one CD at about 76 minutes total.

Mars Volta wants you back!

If you like Mars Volta, check out Sparta (they're both on iTunes).

If you go to any T00L sites MARS VOLTA is always mentioned...

I entirely disagree. Even though Mars Volta and Sparta originated from the same band, At the Drive In, they are absolutely nothing alike. Mars Volta is much more... I guess experimental is the word I'm thinking.

I prefer At the Drive-In, but Mars Volta are top-notch since they are the two most vital parts of ATDI.

For ATDI: In/Casino/Out & Relationship of Command

For Mars Volta: Frances the Mute.

Skip Sparta.
