Puzzles: The Mars Volta: Wow

newjunkaesthetic93 05.15.11	At The Drive in is much better imo
Puzzles 05.15.11	Don't know why the Papa Vs Pretty artwork isn't working, but if you click on it, it seems to work. List is recent digs as well.
MO 05.15.11	Bands ok
Josh D. 05.15.11	Speaking of TMV, wow: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkslqavfFC1qdtp27o1_400.jpg
InFiction 05.15.11	Listen to Frances The Mute as well, dude. That's probably my favourite by them.
YetAnotherBrick 05.15.11	Both De-loused and Relationship of Command are 2 of my favorite albums ever. Although I'd consider TMV more progressive rock than "alternative."
ThePrisonGuard 05.15.11	Listen to Frances The Mute as well, dude. That's probably my favourite by them. (2) De-loused is amazing though. Pick up Relationship of Command by ATDI if you haven't already.
taxidermist 05.15.11	Wait until you hear Frances. Shit is better than De-loused in every way. Still love De-loused, though.
AnotherBrick 05.15.11	"At The Drive in is much better imo" LOL sputnik
sniper 05.15.11	at the drive in were easily as good as the mars volta, and about twice as consistent.
FearThyEvil 05.15.11	I found that album to be fucking amazing. At first listen though it didn't grip me. Took me about 3-4 listens to fully appreciate it for what it is.
Puzzles 05.15.11	How fucking intense is Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt? Jon Theodore, everyone!
sniper 05.15.11	the ending of that track used to give me shivers until i listened to the album 600 times and it wore off. try not to do that, btw.
taxidermist 05.15.11	I still love Take the Veil. De-loused did wear off a bit. Frances will never leave...
Slum 05.15.11	album is omgfantastic
YetAnotherBrick 05.15.11	People really shouldn't compare ATD-I and TMV. They're two completely different bands.
Emim 05.15.11	From what I've heard they're meh, but I've been meaning to try again. AtD-I >>>>>>>>> TMV
Puzzles 05.15.11	"the ending of that track used to give me shivers until i listened to the album 600 times and it wore off. try not to do that, btw." Yeah, I did that with The Smashing Pumpkins' 'Siamese Dream'. I listened to the shit out it trying to like it, and while it was an awesome album, it left a sour taste in my mouth. Now I just can't listen to it.
sniper 05.15.11	for me the mars volta are kind of like that girl you used to really dig in middle school because she's smart and pretty and exciting and you never knew girls could be so cool. but then later you start meeting a whole bunch of her friends and realize that she's not as unique as you used to think, and you don't exactly lose interest, but she doesn't blow your mind anymore and now when you see her around its just like "oh, its that band that used to amaze me until i discovered shit tons of other bands were just as awesome"
telebyrd 05.15.11	album is a 5, a classic, and their best.
someguest 05.15.11	at the drive-in's material is not even close to the mars volta's first two albums idiots
KeithStone582 05.15.11	Fucking love TMV so much.
demigod! 05.15.11	at the drive in kicks ass. the mars volta is boring and pretentious
sniper 05.15.11	yes and no
someguest 05.15.11	at the drive in bores me to tears
Puzzles 05.15.11	I see a distinct division of opinions here.
sniper 05.15.11	are you really much of a post-hardcore fan though someguest? just curious.
someguest 05.15.11	i never listen to music by genres if that's an indication it's either good or it isn't, and I've never seen the appeal in at the drive-in
sniper 05.15.11	the appeal is the absurd amount of ass they kick.
someguest 05.15.11	they try so hard to be exciting but it's just dull
sniper 05.15.11	obviously i disagree but that's okay.
porch 05.15.11	aside from the tremulant EP and de-loused which were pretty cool, TMV make eminently terrible music. like some of the worst shit i've ever heard. ATDI were better all round, although i don't really listen to either band anymore
Puzzles 05.16.11	FOAD, that's bullshit and you know it.
acorncheese 05.16.11	the album that singlehandedly changed my life
acorncheese 05.16.11	de-loused
Puzzles 05.16.11	Seriously? Or are you just pulling the ol' Sputnik chain.
Ire 05.16.11	both great bands
taxidermist 05.16.11	I can't choose one over the other. Both are just tremendously great.
Puzzles 05.16.11	I'm looking forward to both hearing the rest of TMV's discog as well as getting into ATDI. I've heard some awesome things about that band.
acorncheese 05.16.11	"Seriously? Or are you just pulling the ol' Sputnik chain." 100% serious
EasternLight 05.16.11	FRANCES GET FRANCES
Motiv3 05.16.11	Deloused is fantastic.
Slum 05.16.11	I MUST HAVE READ A THOUSAND FAAAAAACES
BigHans 05.16.11	band sucks tremendously
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	lol
Psychopathologist 05.16.11	gay retarded band
BigHans 05.16.11	TMV make eminently terrible music. like some of the worst shit i've ever heard. ATDI were better all round (2)
Psychopathologist 05.16.11	agreed
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	lol
BigHans 05.16.11	I actually hate this band, using the word hate literally, not as something to just throw out. I mean, I seriously fucking ABHOR the mars Volta. Worst shit ever.
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	ur so cute hans
SeaAnemone 05.16.11	too confusing, Hans?
BigHans 05.16.11	aside from how amazingly pretentious they are, its just so fucking painful to listen to.
BloodSweatandBeers 05.16.11	qwe's review of Frances The Mute reflects perfectly how I feel about these tards
Psychopathologist 05.16.11	"aside from how amazingly pretentious they are, its just so fucking painful to listen to." loving you atm
Aids 05.16.11	it's a good ralbum
acorncheese 05.16.11	really don't understand how someone could think that the music is poor. of all bands making music right now, you think THESE guys are making poor music?
Psychopathologist 05.16.11	opinions omg what are they
BigHans 05.16.11	just because someone can play their instrument does not mean they are an effective musician. And Cedric fucking SUCKS
TheStefan 05.16.11	I like TMV. I kinda wore them out over the summer. Now their music is less haunting and more meh. De-Loused used to be a 5 for me.
Psychopathologist 05.16.11	thats not true look at periphery fucking djent man
acorncheese 05.16.11	but you actually think that they make poor music?
BigHans 05.16.11	I think it is incredibly poorly constructed, yes.
acorncheese 05.16.11	just a bit surprised tbh. i know there are lots of people who find this band very annoying and pretentious, but it's not often that you hear that they make terrible music.
acorncheese 05.16.11	and we all know about opinions, so that doesn't even need to be stated.
balcaen 05.16.11	old fucking news guys... i thought this was a band everyone knew about already but no one care two shits to talk about anymore middle school grade shit imo TMV sucks now, especially since Omar decided he'd put out a new album every hour on the hour.
demigod! 05.16.11	i heard it once i didnt like it much Love at the drive in
balcaen 05.16.11	and i hopr BigHans doesnt like btbam. that'd be a retarded statement to make if he did.
BigHans 05.16.11	I also dislike BTBAM, but not as much as TMV
balcaen 05.16.11	good man. not sure what's more pretentious, TMV or BTBAM... i want to say the latter, but that's only because 12-year old me thought frances was the second coming when it first came out
acorncheese 05.16.11	" thought frances was the second coming when it first came out" 14 year old me thought the exact same thing. that's the thing, their music was just a novelty for much of our generation. before i heard them i was listening to incubus and the offspring. i wasn't even aware that there were bands making songs that were longer than 4 minutes, or that bands were devoting entire albums to tell a single story. they're just one of those gateway bands for our generation. i'll always love them. unlike grandpa hans, whose generation boasts such classic bands as rush and floyd :P
BigHans 05.16.11	Incubus and Offspring are both intensely better than TMV. Thats my generation Acorn, if youre going from a pure age perspective.
LegendofPittman 05.16.11	I love TMV and ATDI about equally, although I love the latter a little more.
NigelH 05.16.11	The production on De-Loused is fucking terrible. It would be a much better album if there wasn't so much fucking compression and clipping. Shit hurts my ears after a while, what with Theodore's machine-gun drumming. Damn you Rick Rubin.
aok 05.16.11	bedlam should get a mention. it's quite a beast once you tame it
taxidermist 05.16.11	^Ditto.
acorncheese 05.16.11	^ couldn't agree more. i was hesitant to say due to the backlash it'd surely bring. i think it's one of the few genuinely unique albums i've ever heard. as in, no other band ever would've achieved that sound. that much i'm sure of. you can't say that about any of their other albums.
acorncheese 05.16.11	@pit who's that aimed at? comment above was aimed @bedlam mentioner
taxidermist 05.16.11	Same as acorncheese. Bedlam is beast. I think pit might be spamming that, but idk. Saw it on another list.
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	tldr; Hans is a pussy and TMV rocks.
BigHans 05.16.11	TMV and "rocks" is an oxy moron.
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	Okay you can hate TMV all you want but to say they dont rock is just blasphemy
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	5 it bro 5 it
FatChickIrl 05.16.11	good
Puzzles 05.18.11	"And you think you're so elite by listening to shit nobody has ever heard of? What shits me the most is the way you believe your opinion to be fact. Music is such a personal medium that there is no way to judge it on one level. It's relative to the listener. So figure that out and stop shoving your opinions in people's faces." Yeah, this is actually my comment on his list. I have no idea why he decided to post that on this list... seeing as I actually make a fairly good point.
qwe3 05.18.11	atdi have released like 3 amazing things and tmv have only released one. atdi have never released anything fucking terrible. tmv have. twice
acADHDemy 05.18.11	yeah but tmv's one amazing thing is significantly better than any single atdi release
Puzzles 05.18.11	So I really love this album (De-Loused), and I'm wondering, what's the rest of their discography like? Is it worth listening to, apart from Frances The Mute which I plan on getting next.
qwe3 05.18.11	"old fucking news guys... i thought this was a band everyone knew about already but no one care two shits to talk about anymore middle school grade shit imo" retarded post alert
acADHDemy 05.18.11	listen to everything except amputecture. qwe hates frances i think frances is ok but a huge step down. basically everything is a huge step down from de-loused but amputecture is retarded
qwe3 05.18.11	"yeah but tmv's one amazing thing is significantly better than any single atdi release" nah i think acrobatic tenement and relationship of command are both better than deloused
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	wow is a common response
Puzzles 05.18.11	"basically everything is a huge step down from de-loused" Really? Why?
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	At-the drive in's relationship of command is one of my favorite albums ever, but I can't compare it to deloused. They are so different. Deloused is so fucking amazing though. lol go listen to sparta then.
qwe3 05.18.11	"Really? Why?" http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/34843/The-Mars-Volta-Frances-the-Mute/
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	Bedlam and Frances are both amazing albums. And as far as ATDI; Vaya and In Casino Out for sure.
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	qwe, props on that review. I understand where you are coming from. I dislike Dream Theater and Protest The Hero as well, but I do love BTBAM. I am a guitar player so maybe I am biased.
acADHDemy 05.18.11	"I like the majority of . . . Protest the Hero, and . . . Between the Buried and Me." - Qwe Qwetherington
qwe3 05.18.11	i prefer btbam to dream theater and probably pth too. their earlier stuff was great. shevanel cut a flip is so fucking good
acADHDemy 05.18.11	agreed. ive been trying to get into dream theater but i just can't seem to stay interested
Puzzles 05.18.11	I think I'll probably like it. I like things that are weird, frantic and schizophrenic, and much more so than others, I like Cedric's voice.
qwe3 05.18.11	that's because they make fucking awful music. it's like if nickelback made a prog album or maybe that's modern porcupine tree. idk
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	the self titled CD is awesome it doesn't get enough love, aspirations is prob my favorite.
qwe3 05.18.11	aspirations and shev definitely
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	James labrie is the wackest shit I've ever heard
Puzzles 05.18.11	From what I've just heard from Bedlam In Goliath and Amputechture, I think I'll really enjoy the rest of their material. I like the jazzy mechanics, textures and use of effects, as well as the overall weird tinge to everything.
aok 05.18.11	basically everything is a huge step down from de-loused [2] and steps started getting bigger at bedlam. even though omar's released like 45 albums on his own, he still puts on one hell of a two hour show. if you ever get to see him live, jump on the opportunity
blazebaileyfinnegan3 05.18.11	I saw them live like 4-5 years ago with RHCP and they sounded bad. Regardless I still love them.
aok 05.18.11	woww -- i've seen omar live twice before (both in the past 2 years), and he put on a fantastic show both times
Puzzles 05.18.11	I'll definitely be seeing them next time they come to Australia. So seriously, what is actually wrong with the other albums. Are they boring? Too mellow? Too simplistic? Generic? Annoying? Pretentious? What?
porch 05.18.11	yeah
acADHDemy 05.18.11	hat's off to you, cedric bixler zavavalala
MO 05.18.11	"woww -- i've seen omar live twice before (both in the past 2 years), and he put on a fantastic show both times" I saw them live once and he had his back to the audience the whole time, bullshit.
BigHans 05.18.11	I saw them live once and he had his back to the audience the whole time, bullshit. ^ what a fag
ConsiderPhlebas 05.18.11	The Mars Volta are in the same league as Design the Skyline
Ire 05.18.11	ugh fuck you guys
Counterfeit 05.18.11	and then the creator said: let there be wank. swag. KILLPEOPLEBURNSHITFUCKSCHOOL
sniper 05.18.11	dude puzzles if you liked deloused, explore the discographies of tmv and atd-i and figure out what suits your tastes. definitely don't skip albums, i'm sure you're capable of forming your own opinion.
Puzzles 05.20.11	Just got Frances The Mute. It's fucking awesome.. just as good, if not better than De-Loused In The Comatorium.
telebyrd 06.16.11	Puzzles - Find the title track, which was cut from the album for formatting purposes. It adds to the experience in a major way.
qwe3 06.16.11	it's such a great album
