What would you say if I told you that I've never heard one single The Mars Volta track in my life?

I haven't heard anything by The Mars Volta either. Ever.


Now, I'm listening to The Psychedelic Furs - President Gas. I love the Furs and I love the song. It's scary to think that the song is still applicable today.

Orthrelm - Ov

just incredible freaky, awesome fast intense repetition of guitar riffs

live video here: http://www.millionraces.com/orthrelm.htm

some review says: nothing can prepare the listener for the all-out minimalistic assault that is OV. Over the course of its single 45-minute track, tiny riffs are repeated over and over for minutes at a time, everything moving at hyperspeed, with no rest and no break from the intensity. The first major change in theme doesn't happen until eighteen minutes into the composition, and that change is actually a ramping up of intensity rather than a break in it! Not until twenty-two minutes in do things slow down, but only for a minute or two before picking up again. In the second half, themes change with more frequency, building inexorably to what one might expect to be a spectacular conclusion, but which instead is just an abrupt stop. In the end, though, this inconclusiveness is compelling ? consistent with the circular, repetitive aesthetic of the piece

ATDI is ok, I used to enjoy them when I was in high school but there stuff hasn't aged well for me at all. I used to love Realtionship of Command, I can't stand it these days.

Mars Volta are so much better though, I don't know where to start.

The thing that struck me when I heard them was the huge 70's prog influence it had running through the sound. It was like someone had taken King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Yes and modernized them. Cedric's vocal delivery is much more restained and about 10* more enjoyable. ?They are really awesome live as well one of the best bands I've seen, if not the best.

I heard a few things by The Mars Volta while I was in the States this summer, hanging out with an old mate. Pretty righteous stuff.

I just like ATDI better. I heard some of Volta's stuff and I was'nt too exited like other people were. I should give their latest album a go, I heard it's very good.

Arch Enemy- Wages of Sin

Wow. The only experience I previously had with melodic DM was Opeth.  This is is much closer to DM's thrash roots, and it's a lot more brutal while retaining an insane knowlege of melody.  And I don't care what other people think, Angela Gossow is hella scarier than the boys :-o!  I simultaneously want her babies and fear that she would eat me afterwards, black widow style.

Venetian Snares' new Hospitality EP.

wonderful. has quite a mature/refined sound to it (not too far from rossz csillag allat szuletett, but with less orchestra and more drum machine) but still keeps the trademark VS sense of humour. the opener ("Frictional Nevada") is incredible. really diggin the cover, too.

no doubt are really quite good... for those of you who like ska (reggae/rock) you should check out no doubt's older stuff... this is such an example. its from their album beacon street collection.

i pretty much have a soft spot for female-fronted ska bands... but incubus and no doubt both hold traits i LOVE in bands-blending many genres together and making them sound good.
everybody should check out total hate '95... one of my favorite songs ever, AND with ska/punk/reggae legends sublimee =DD

"She Ain't Your Ordinary Girl" - Alabama

The ultimate selling-out of the greatest country band to ever see the light of day. That is, until Alan Jackson took over (for the time being, now it's those electro-country abominations ruling the country charts) and they retired. I do still like this song though.

I pretty much have been listening to nothing but the new Converge since Monday.  I've been waiting for this to arrive in my mail for about 2 months now, and all I can say is holy shit!  This cd is everything I had hoped it would be...this album hurts.  It's the sonic equivalent of having your throat torn open by a pack of wolves.  IT's one of the angriest things I have heards this year.  I love it.

Destroyer - Rubies (from Destroyer's Rubies)

I've got plenty of time to write about this one before iTunes changes to the next track; about eight minutes, in fact. Probably won't use it all though. :wink:

I listened to this album for a while without really being able to make any sense of it, and then all of a sudden in the course of one listen it was like every hook on the album (and there are a lot of them) finally penetrated my consciousness. So basically I just convulsed like a gangster being riddled with bullets from a tommy gun for fifty or so minutes.

That was a few weeks ago, but Destroyer's Rubies has proven to have impressive staying power; I still want to listen to it pretty much every day and I have to force myself to try new stuff instead. It's a great, great album.
