Title: The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
Post by: Metal Gear on February 10, 2005, 06:51:37 AM

I remember that there was a thread about De-loused In The Comatorium a while ago so I thought "Lets start a thread about the NEW Mars Volta album".

It\'s already released in Japan but I guess the official release date in the States is March 2nd.

There are 5 tracks on the album but it all flows like it\'s 1 track(taking up almost 80 minutes)

The Widow is the track that is most likely going to be a single.It\'s 5:57 but it will be reduced to 3 minutes because the last portion of the song is static leading up to the next song.



Anyway I haven\'t listened to it that long but I think they are just enhancing what they did on De-loused,taking their sound deeper into "prog rock" territory.

What do you think?

They are okay, their music is very well thought out, and their lyrics are on a whole different level then most bands....

But, I\'m into other stuff.

I can never seem to listen to them for a whole album.It\'s good for 2 or 3 songs but eventually the screaming,shouting and the fast guitar riffs are giving me a headache.

They still rock though!

P.S:I saw a picture of the band members in a magazine.You gotta love 2 white guys with huge frows!

I\'ll hold off complete judgement until I see them play the music live (although from what I hear most of the songs on the album are straight from the "jam sessions" they played on their last tour.

I\'ve listened to it through but I don\'t have it on my computer at school, I\'m just going to wait to buy it. It\'s alot different than De-Loused but it has its on notable points.
