Favorite Mars Volta Tracks
 

I absolutly love The Mars Volta, latino progressive rock at its finest!

Tell me your fave tracks and why!

Il start off, my fave track is off The Bedlem in Goliath and its 10 Ouroborous

That song sings too my drumming so much, the vocals work perfect with the rhythem and melodies

This band gets a lot of ****, but I still find Frances the Mute to be really quite good.

As much as I listen to them, I just can't get into them!!!
Maybe I'm just listening to the wrong tracks.
Anyone know any good songs?
What about instrumentals?

If you can't start Deloused in the Comatorium and then instantly be sucked into that album, you just won't like the Mars Volta. That album is their masterpiece, so I recommend pretty much every song off of it.

Will check it out, I'll let you know what I think.

Though to be fair, they're two completely different albums. Frances being a carefully-woven story and De-loused being a song-after-song banger of sorts.

It depends on whether one is looking for something which stands out as a complete album or an album which has awesome songs, I guess! I would be fairly sure that my favourite songs (were I ever able to choose) wouldn't be on my favourite albums.

Deloused is excellent. I really, really love that album, from start to finish(except I can't really get myself to listen to the 70 mins of static noise at the end of Take the Veil or however long that went). Seriously, it's an amazing album.

I'm stressing that point because I'm just gonna say that I though Octahedron was even better(again, except for the 90 mins of silence at the start of Since we've been wrong... Seriously, stop doing that :\ ).

Don't know, but that album, while different from their other stuff, just flows really well for me, and I really like the vocals.

Couldn't agree more!

I like De-loused best, the way the album starts is amazing, Son et Lumiere and Inertiatic ESP blow my mind.




I haven't heard the last one yet, I'd read it's not as good as the other ones, but now that you say that I'll get it!



Btw Omar has recorded a song with Calle 13 not long ago and it sounds great!

nice TMV thread here

Im a huge fan

Frances the Mute must be my fav album.. but Deloused represent more the total idea of TMV I think..
About octahedron.. first I didn't like it.. but then it grow on me and actually it's quite a cool album...
Anyone knows when they start on their new album?
I searched on wikipedia and such but no new info yet...
