I just recently got around to checking out the mars volta, the album deloused and while I hear where people are coming from with their comparisons to Led Zeppelin, Floyd, Zappa and stuff, the number one thing it reminds me of is psychedelic grateful dead jams of the late 60's, before they got a country twinge, anybody else thought this while listening? I just wanted to get into a discussion to talk about how these bands are related in sound and how they think when they make music.
