It didn't leave my CD player for months after that. I just couldn't understand how everyone else didn't recognize how freaking amazing it was. I was officially a music snob from that point on.
So to say the Mars Volta are a very personal band for me is an understatement.
And I agree about that Bosnian Rainbows song. I also don't think Omar's solo stuff is too great either. There are moments...but it's nothing like a Volta album.

The first time I experience Deloused was when I was a freshman on my walk to school. I downloaded it cause I loved At The Drive In and wanted to see how different they both were. By the time I got to school, my head was so ****ed with eargasms that I didn't bother to do anything that day at school. Just hid from the teachers and listened to the album 3 times that day. Then I gave Frances The Mute a listen and they instantly became one of my favorite bands. They helped me through the first couple years of high school.
