So anyone else as much of a huge fucking Mars Volta fan as me? I absolutely love there music, they are like the modern Pink Floyd and Crimson. Absolutely great.

I think 2 people from ATDI are in it, the others are in Sparta

I think the first two tracks on Deloused are AWESOME and the rest all sounds the same

Not at all

the first 2 tracks I talked about (which are linked as one song) give off the same kind of energy as Led Zeppelin - Achilles' Last Stand if that helps any.

Well generally, Volta is usually under the genre of Punk Rock, or just Rock if you want to go bigger.

But if you want to get real specific I made up my own name I call for this type of genre.

I call it Punk Experience Rock.

Because I consider this type of music, similiar to Pink Floyd, a drug induced type of experience music, with all 5 speakers blasting in surround sound.

Volta dosen't even like to genre themselves, in fact they say their next album may change sounds...

But thats just my own definition. Just opinion

I like At the Drive-In better. Brent D. of Pitchfork put it best: The Mars Volta is like a non-cheesy Dream Theater. Too much excess.

Brent D hardly ever says anything worthwhile.  And I fail to see how TMV relates to Dream Theater

Mars Volta was supposed to open up for Snoop & The Chili Peppers when here in Atlanta last summer. I think one of the guys had just died and they had to cancel so it was just Snoop and RHCP.

I checked into them a bit when I saw them on the bill and the reviews sounded great......kind of like my stuff. I couldn't find crap on bearshare.
