Re: The Mars Volta

A lot of people say it took them time to get to like it, but as soon as I heard the album, I freaked out! I loved this band from the moment I heard them. I can't get enough I say! I just hope they come to Dallas on their next tour, I need to see them live.

Re: The Mars Volta

I sorta like it, but i sorta find it painful, at times the music can be a bit too messy. Maybe it's a bad mix.

The Widow sounds much better though.

Re: The Mars Volta

I don't think it's too messy, I think it's quite well organised, so to speak. It's just very different. I don't think there's a band quite like them around..

Am totally looking fwd to the new album

cheers

Re: The Mars Volta

At the Drive In -One armed Scissors
Best Track ever!
Though their newer band The Mars Volta, saw their live and it was absolutely brilliant, I`ll never forget it..

I've heard it, I don't really like it though. It seems like everything I didn't like about De-Loused expanded into a 77 minute five-track album.

Re: The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta is very unique, it's pure art. But to me they're awful. Probably one of the most unlistenable bands ever. I have great respect for the people who are able to listen to this.

Re: The Mars Volta

Yeah I agree, they're unlistenable at times. Their last album was barely saved by some really catchy singing hooks... but this new one

Re: The Mars Volta

I was so happy to come to this site and see this band being spoken about, After listening and watching them on t.v. the first thing that came to mind was, would APFFN think they were good, because i really did.
