The Mars Volta

By Daniel Miessler on March 26th, 2005: Tagged as Culture | Music | Personal

Well, Brad was right — The Mars Volta is sick (quite). It’s been quite a while since I’ve heard anything this refreshing (Lamb Of God I think…). They are just utterly brilliant. Naturally, I went and bought all three albums that I could find (two via iTunes and one from Barnes and Noble).

Anyway, go check them out a few days ago or sooner.

    w00t!! They definately rock. I am still partial to de-loused in the comatorium (sp?). But all three are amazing. –B.R.A.D.

    I think I like the latest one – The Frances Mute, I think it’s called… I love the melodies from these guys, and I’m usually not one for vocals at all.

    2 minutes in on song 5 is of particular interest to me; I can’t get that tune out of my head. It’s also the clip that they play via Flash when you load up their website.

    Definitely top-notch stuff. If you haven’t checked it out, you should definitely do so.
