The Mars Volta

The record is effin' great, if not a little long.

I can only imagine what they're like live...

Rather cool, I thought.

Having only had one or two listens.

It took me a while to get to liking it.

It does take a while to adjust.. there's no band that's quite like them so it's a bit of a culture shock.. if you get my meaning.. I still can't tell you what my favourite song is or what not.. it take a while to get to that stage for me.. but I'll get back and tell you..

cheers

I've heard a couple of their songs but I wasn't too impressed.

It's bizzare I'd heard one song and thought they were average but when I saw the live.. I think you really need to see them.. that's their strength..

cheers

I'm just such a big Flea fan that I think I'm going to have to get the album. I really like his style on the album. Really different from his RHCP material.

I haven't heard them but I'll be hearing them for the first time on March 23rd in Dallas. They are opening for A Perfect Circle and I have tickets. I hope they are good...a good opening band is always a nice bonus to a good concert. I hear they are kind of a long winded jam band but I have no idea what they sound like...it will be interesting to check them out.

The only song I know is Inertiatic ESP. I heard it and thought it sounded interesting, so I looked them up on the internet, and I read about what the album was about, and it spooked me out a bit. The thing ir ead was at www.themarsvolta.com, then I clicked on Band.

Inertiatic ESP isn't bad though.

I loved At The Drive In to death, and I deeply believe that they weren't an emo band, for one they never had a love song, or "im hurt, waa waa" song. Sparta, the band formed from most of the members, now thats an emo band. I dont like them all that much. Mars Volta i think is really carrying the torch after the death of ATDI, and I think they're amazing. I almost got to see them live but missed it. not enough funds on my part. But I think the record is great and im sure they're great live. I can't wait to hear what they'll come up with in years to come.
