thanks :kiss:

 

could you post their earlier works?

thanks :kiss:

Erm... :\ Well, I actually don't have them...

 

But this album is gonna keep you busy for a while...

as a fellow who is really interested in this band.. what album should i start with?

i started with Frances the Mute and really enjoyed it and therefore made me buy Amputechture.

 

FTM is more of a concept album and its songs are long and meld into each other so there is no clear distinciton at times where one ends and the other begins. also if you try burning to a cd the number of the songs goes haywire because of this lack of distinguishing the songs as single entities

 

Amputechture each song can be clearly distinguished they don't follow a concept as such so its more like your regular albums.

 

um hope that helps i'm sure more people will give you their opinions.

 

btw they're awesome live! saw them at concert cedric dances as if possessed by supernatural forces lol.

thanks, that sort of clears some things up for me.

 

one question though, what about 'De-Loused in the Comatorium' ?

It's apparently their most popular one, well thats only according to last.fm.

so, have you listened to it or anything?

 

btw they're awesome live! saw them at concert cedric dances as if possessed by supernatural forces lol.

^ oh wow cheers! gona listen to it now...

^ hehe no probelm :wink:

and i'm gonna download those albums too, thanks again :smiley:

Wow so a decent thread about this terrific band has been started ! I've been away for a while so couldn't see it earlier.

 

I love this band very very much, and own Frances The Mute. This album is really fantastic, from scratch to end (including the song Frances The Mute as first track). It makes me think of my favourite band of all time Pink Floyd, with Robert Plant's voice, some more violence and a latin-like side which I love. Strongly recommend to all that don't already know. Let's keep this thread going on !

^yeah i like the way you described it.

Cedrics hair is kinda like Robert Plants like too hehe.

I've read on wikipedia that they covered Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive. Is it true ?

 

And if so, could anyone give me an audio of that ?

Hello. I'm reviving this thread because I think everyone should know this band, maybe the best musical experience in this decade.

 

I've been away since may 2007 and i'm shocked no one talked about them since then !!

 

Everyone who reads this, just check them out, they kick ass. I saw them live last march, and it was the most mind-blowing concert I ever attended.

a great band.

they play on of the best progressive rock.

Well, there is an album coming out in less than two months, so I don't wanna see this thread leave the firs page of WoM till then...

 

Octahedron, June 22nd !!

Are we going to be treated to both Omar and John F on one album again?:D

Exactly.

 

The only persons missing from the staff are Adrian Terrazas-Gonsalez and Paul Hinojos (Saxophone and Sound manipulation).

I did and it's been my very best live experience ever since. Seriously, it was.

There you can find a live recording of what's gonna be the first American single off Octahedron, "Since We've Been Wrong".

The Mars Volta

 

I couldn't find a thread on this band. Are there any fans on here?

 

I'm really looking forward to their new album. They've put out four perfect albums already, so I'm hoping the new one will be just as good.

There's another thread. I'm a huge hardcore fan !

Sweet. :) Have you heard the leak of the new album?

 

I was going to wait, but curiousity got the best of me. It's a really great album (I'm of course going to buy it on Tuesday.)

I bought it today, and listened to it. It's a good album, but I doubt it's gonna be as brilliant as the first three, which were absolute masterpieces.
