I was watching on TV and it looked like noone in the crowd knew who they were, and Omar looked bored off his arse. Did it get any better? |

I was watching on TV aswell should've pointed that out. The first thing i noticed was Omar's lack of afro and lack of any kind of enthusiasm. He said himself the reunion is just some nostalgia thing. Quote:
He's better with Mars Volta. Quote:
I would put that one second (wor Ced is quite decent on this one - when he's not crying his little eyes out) followed by any of the other releases, take your pick. I found them all instantly forgettable. |
It did reek of "in it for the money" tbh. I was being convinced to go on that day and ATDI was the only thing i was really interested in seeing. Thank goodness i decided not to.

That Jim guy was also being a massive douche with his crowd hollering and crowd claping along charade bollocks. Ced's face!
Next up on the not so nostalgic trip... Mars Volta. I find the concepts and stories behind thier albums to be more interesting than the music itself. This is disregarding Inertiatic ESP of course which is the greatest fucking song ever made. |
First Mars Volta album is great, after that they got too overwrought musically and lost their energy. I still like the fact that Francis the Mute got into the UK album chart top 10 when it was released, back when these sorts of things still mattered a little in the general public's eyes. I didnt enjoy it much so i cant imagine how a casual listener who liked the single they put out would have felt about 10 minutes into one of those "movements" in the middle.

That's the binge over with! On the whole that was pretty hard listening - just so much wankery going on with this band - though some of it is hypnotic in a pummel your head into submission way.
The most recent Mars Volta album is the most ATDI sounding album they've done since de-loused and maybe even more so than that album. |

can't argue with that. also deloused is undisputedly their best, frances and amputechture are also up there(i may actually like amputechture more) but after that it's all down hill. bedlam was mediocre at best and anything after is vaginal discharge. |
