The Bedlam In Goliath
 
The Mars Volta hit their peak at [I]Frances The Mute[/I].

That is all I have to say about this.

Saetia 02-03-2008 12:01 PM

The Mars Volta only good work was Deloused. But even that was meh.

A Dead Modernist 02-03-2008 12:09 PM

Its good, but quite forgettable.

Magicaltroll 02-03-2008 12:22 PM

It's really not that great in my opinion. And I loved amputecture :/

They've changed alot, and it's a bad one i feel.

cobert 02-03-2008 12:24 PM

Well I read they have music made for at least 2 more albums, and the next one they will plan to record (after working out kinks and such) will be a lot more chilled out and like a jam, and I think thats when the mars volta can be at their best.

umm at their best was when they made 5 minute songs. jams = bad

Krash100 02-03-2008 12:34 PM

I never really liked them, and I'm usually into experimental stuff. Mostly it's the singing/lyrics that annoys me.

Matt? 02-03-2008 12:44 PM

haha "experimental"

yeah these guys totally suck now. although the whole cd / vinyl thing is kinda an interesting gimmick

I disagree, but the argument between Frances The Mute and Deloused could go on forever so I wont bother. Its not necessarly long jams I like, just chilled out Mars Volta (like the quiet parts in Roulette Dares).

cometuesday 02-03-2008 06:32 PM

I don't get the Frances hype.

Bordello 02-03-2008 06:35 PM

the first half is good

but from Tourniquet Man on it gets really ****ing gay

A Dead Modernist 02-03-2008 06:36 PM

^first half is meh but Tourniquet Man and on is v good.

Frances has grown on me a ton since when I first listened to it. Now I see it right up there with De-loused, if not better at times.

Bordello 02-03-2008 06:38 PM

are you serious

Explain?

I like the album for the most part. Goliath, Ouroborous, and Conjugal Burns are all crazy good.

Matt? 02-03-2008 06:41 PM

they released something that was cd on one side vinyl on the other.

aka plays in cd player and on record player.

A Dead Modernist 02-03-2008 06:42 PM

[QUOTE=Bordello;15933953]are you serious[/QUOTE]

I meant to say, everything after Tourniquet Man is good. First half only has its catchiness to save it. Other than that, I really don't like this album very much. Pretty meh.

Bordello 02-03-2008 06:43 PM

nah pretty much everything after tourniquet man is turd herdage except for conjugal burns

Wow that is really cool. Maybe I should buy it.

Liebensaft 02-03-2008 07:01 PM

I've never listened to this band. Some serious douchebags like and praise them a lot, which has dissuaded me. I need someone with credibility to back them up if there's any chance I'm going to spend my precious bandwidth pirating their music.

Bordello 02-03-2008 07:03 PM

says the dude who jocks sunset rubdown and animal collective 24/7

sgrevs 02-03-2008 07:03 PM

Try out the album [I]De-Loused in the Comatorium[/I], because it is their best, so say most fans of the band.

Animal Collective are the absolute sh[I]i[/I]t.

Bordello 02-03-2008 07:05 PM

most of their fans are just as bad as TMV's

Liebensaft 02-03-2008 07:07 PM

[QUOTE=Bordello;15934059]says the dude who jocks sunset rubdown and animal collective 24/7[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't phrase it that way, but I do support both of those bands because they're really good.


[QUOTE=Bordello;15934073]most of their fans are just as bad as TMV's[/QUOTE]

in reference to Animal Collective, this is pretty true. Some serious fags are into AC. They're pretty popular. That can be said of so many good bands though.

Bordello 02-03-2008 07:08 PM

i tried posting on an AC forum once

but it turns out all the people were serious f[size=2]a[/size]ggots

sgrevs 02-03-2008 07:09 PM

I don't know any serious fags into AC. Everyone I know personally who likes them is cool.

Bordello 02-03-2008 07:10 PM

lol

I cannot deny that this happens. I saw a girl on a social networking site who listed "Animal Collection" as one of her favorite bands. The internet is great.

But srsly, TMV create an image in my mind of an entity I don't want to be associated with. Is it worth looking into?

Bordello 02-03-2008 07:13 PM

just d/l Deloused and see if you like it

Liebensaft 02-03-2008 07:15 PM

eh, it won't kill me. Thanks, brother.

cometuesday 02-03-2008 07:23 PM

Yeah dude any bands with faggots for fans have to suck.
