de-loused is better.

de-loused is better.



May not flow as a whole album, but the song-writing is better and less wanker orientated. Overall, it grabs me more than this album and keeps my attention throughout.

As I've said, its easier to get into, which is why it is overall more liked.

Wow, I can't even grasp the concept of giving this below a 4, truly an amazing album.

So amazing. If you don't like it, it just went over your head.

Cassandra Gemini is split into 8 movements because the record company was going to make them distribute it as an EP because it only had 5 tracks. Go on iTunes, and you can find the digital version which has Cassandra Gemini at 32:31.



This is one of my top three albums ever, you can ask me anything about it.

god fuck this album. The bastards made it 7 different ways because they can't pick an option that works. That's what happens when you produce a fucking 32 minute song that can't maintain focus its own focus throughout. Christ.

5. Cassandra Gemini I (song with direction)

6. Cassandra Gemini II (song leading to wankery)

7. Cassandra Gemini III – (TRIUMPHANT!)

8. Cassandra Gemini IV – (wankfest)

9. Cassandra Gemini V – (hempfest)

10. Cassandra Gemini VI – (oh shit, this stuff is wearing off)

11. Cassandra Gemini VII – (RAWWWKKK)

12. Cassandra Gemini VIII – (Repeat intro to track 1)

I would tell you what it really is, but I have the version that's listed on the track list on this website, specifically written as it is.

I love Frances the Mute, but De-Loused in the Comatorium holds my top spot for best The Mars Volta album. By a long shot. I couldn't stop listening to De-Loused at all. Took me a few weeks to finally stop. I had a bit of trouble finally getting into Frances, but after I heard Cassandra Gemini, I just like... Fell in love or something. It's beautiful. I wish I could hang it up on my wall, though I cannot. Someone should get on that.
In other news, I cannot wait for The Bedlam in Goliath. From what I've heard so far, it's going to be the best thing since sliced bread.

As long as it's better than Amputechture, I'm all for it.
