What the heck is a Mars Volta?When I first heard of this album, and this band, I didn't know what to expect. But I picked it up anyway, and popped it in my stereo like a good music fan. After I finished listening to it all the way through, I had no idea of what to make of 'Deloused'. But I felt compelled to keep listening, so then I listened to it for some more hours, on repeat, all the way through each time.
Hours turned to days.
Days turned to weeks.
Before I knew it, 'Deloused in the Comatorium' was the recipient of two weeks of almost exclusive airtime. And no CD monopolizes my means of music production like that. Really great CDs usually get about 4 or 5 days with me. But Mars Volta was setting a dangerous precedent: I feared that I would soon learn to forget music, and only understand this. Except I still didn't know what the heck it was.
At about that time that I realized that I could not live without this CD. That was two months ago. It still owns the majority of my listening time, and yes, I still don't understand what the heck it is. But does that matter?
Just hear for yourself.The Best CD out recently It runs through like one great massive epic of a song. Every second is something new and better than the last. The story line is hard to figure out and takes awhile to get your own interpretation but thats part of the appeal of this record. Awesome guitar parts, excellent vocals, The Mars Volta is the closest to a perfect band we have today.AMAZINGMy friends told me about the Mars Volta, but I did not really listen to them after their recommendations. It was not until recently, when my friend lent me her copy of De-Loused in the Comatorium, that I listened to the album. It is extremely hard for me to classify their music. Words that comes to mind are: stupefying, astounding, extraordinary, staggering, and genius.
I do not play any instruments, but The Mars Volta's album can make anybody appreciate the instruments played. I preferred this album to Frances the Mute, but they are both remarkable albums. |
