The first three songs are amazing. The rest is complete shit.




rule of thumb with TMV: listen to it a LOT before making judgments. I guarantee you don't like Miranda or Cassandra just because you haven't digested it well.

Cassandra is one of the hardest song I can think of to get into. Try getting the split up version of it, and it'll seem more manageable to listen to.

I fell in love with Cassandra and essentially this whole album upon my first listening, that riff with the bass,woodwinds, and the way the guitar sounds about 40 seconds into the song is great.





Bedlam was my first album by them and it took my several listens to like it.

This is by far their best and most underappriciated records.

Cassandra and Miranda are the best two songs on here.
From the froggy ambiance of Miranda to the epic thirty minutes of cassandra this album is perfection.

It's hard to believe I got this 4 years ago....and didn't dl it.

Is it a real one? Or the one that says it's Cassandra but in reality is just Sarcophogi.

Prepare for small disappointment.



I also wish I had either the ability or patience to learn Cassandra Gemini.

"I also wish I had either the ability or patience to learn Cassandra Gemini."



Yeah. Every other Volta album is great but this doesn't strike me as more than mediocre Volta stuff. Cassandra Gemini & Miranda seem to be too hard for me to understand at the moment. Or then they suck, but I guess it's the former. Or at least I hope so.
