Just getting into these guys. So far, both Bedlam and Octahedron are excellent, if completely opposite ends of the spectrum. That being said, Bedlam edges Octa because of it's intense energy.

Octa is the best them, haters gonna hate.

Octahedron is probably my second favorite Volta album.

Anyone excited for the new TMV album??? Apparently it is finished and recorded, they're just waiting on the label.

ZBomber · « **Reply #39 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:16:05 PM »

YES! Omar is coming here too, I really wanna see him but I got classes so I'll just wait for the next Volta tour.

Wonder how many they threw out before they got to this one...

Goliath used to be my favorite Mars Volta song. It kicked ass live.

I just realized that I said "Vermillion" instead of "Vermicide" in my post last year. Ha.

I would really like to see TMV live at some point. I imagine it would be one hell of a show.

And drugs. Thousands of drugs.

When I saw them it actually wasn't a great experience overall. Cedric was pissed off at us because some drunken douchebag threw something at the stage. The show only lasted for an hour and a half, closing with "the Widow," (at least I think they did, I couldn't take the bad sound anymore and left after that) after which Cedric said "See, I told you we can be your friend!) Plus the sound (as I said) was absolutely HORRIBLE. I don't even remember if they played anything off De-Loused, majority of the set was Bedlam and Amputechture stuff, though they did play Cygnus, which I got a kick out of, and some of the improv was cool.

ZBomber · « **Reply #48 on:** April 07, 2011, 10:54:26 AM »

BARE THEM
SEVENS
THREE TO A PALL

Amputechture is amazing, the only song that doesn't really blow me away is El Ciervo Vulnerado, simply because it sounds like an inferior version of Vicarious Atonement to me.

I've had Bedlam for the longest time, and had given Deloused a few listens as well, but am just now giving the rest of their albums a listen. Tremulant is fantastic, with Eunuch Provocateur being possibly their best song that I've heard so far. Currently on my first listen of Frances, and it is absolutely blowing my mind. Have yet to hear the rest.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #52 on:** April 30, 2011, 02:58:35 PM »

if you like "Eunuch Provocateur" on Tremulant, i recommend hunting down the re-recorded version they made for De-loused. it's goddamn killer.

ZBomber · « **Reply #53 on:** May 13, 2011, 12:01:22 PM »

I love how the opening of Frances the Mute (album) is quiet, and then the end of the album is the same thing but louder. So awesome

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #54 on:** May 13, 2011, 04:49:39 PM »

Dimitrius · « **Reply #55 on:** May 14, 2011, 03:22:03 PM »

I'm going to see them on June 25th!

ZBomber · « **Reply #56 on:** May 14, 2011, 05:08:04 PM »

The closest they are playing here is Philly with Soundgarden... really wanna go, but it's a bit too far for me, and I guess tickets already sold out.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #57 on:** May 28, 2011, 05:14:53 PM »

I was at the library. There was a copy of Frances the Mute there. It had white stuff all over it. SOMEONE CAME

Fun playing drums along to Inertiatic ESP.

These guys need to announce the new album! Omar's frequent solo albums are great, but I need some new Volta!

Dimitrius · « **Reply #61 on:** May 29, 2011, 06:15:24 PM »

Omar has like 8564831314895432 albums, doesn't he?

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #62 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:51:50 PM »

he does indeed. anyone unsure about where to start in Omar's solo discog ought to listen through the Telestrion compilation for an idea of where to start: https://omardigital.rodriguezlopezproductions.com/album/telesterion

darkshade · « **Reply #63 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:19:19 AM »

Yes Id like them to announce a release date soon, the album has been completed 2 or 3 times. Didnt Omar say he finished the album back in 2009 and then scrapped it and started over?

PuffyPat · « **Reply #64 on:** July 24, 2011, 04:58:52 PM »

I have been listening to them so much lately. I had to share it with someone, or someones.

ZBomber · « **Reply #65 on:** July 25, 2011, 06:53:26 PM »

Frances the Mute is the Volta album I have been listening to for the longest.... but I think I am JUST starting to fully appreciate it.

Especially the title track.... god damn!

PuffyPat · « **Reply #66 on:** July 25, 2011, 06:56:06 PM »

The album I've listened to the longest is Amputechture, however, my favorite album by far has got to be The Bedlam in Goliath. Thomas Pridgen is a maniac on the drums, and I love every minute of it.

A damn shame it's not included on the disc, makes the album so much better!!

PuffyPat · « **Reply #68 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:01:14 PM »

Wait. There's a title track not included on the album?
