I got their compilation album one or two years ago and disliked it a lot. I didn't even listen to the whole thing. Recently, however, I popped it back in since I couldn't afford any new music. I actually listened to the whole thing and liked almost all of the songs. I've been listening to it a lot for about a week but I'm getting tired of it now. I should probably get some more stuff by them.

I also have a two MV albums. One live and one studio, They're pretty meh. I'm also curious as to why the vocalist completely changed his voice from ATDI to MV. This is ne of the reasons I don't like the band. It seems as he's faking his voice instead of just naturally singing, i guess, I don't really know how to describe what I mean.

Acrobatic Tenement and Vaya are all you need to understand ATDI were a great band.

Will do.

That's so fucking ignorant. If you honestly believe that you know nothing of music or music theory. If you don't like them because the singer's voice actually exceeds your existence, then whatever, or if it's too chaotic for your simple mind, I understand.

However, if your ears could actually conceive music you would realize that the actual build ups and break downs are composed to near perfection. The drummer and the bassist are probably two of the most talented people in the music industry, and in more of a personal opinion, the singers vibrato shakes my soul like none other, but I can understand why people have a distaste for it. Fucking corporate whores whose ears are trained to catchy beats and too frequently repeated choruses.

Music doesn't have to be something to tap your foot to constantly, sometimes it can shake your world and this band falls nothing short of that, you would know too... if you knew anything about opening your ears or your mind.

[pbradley]

oh, shit, that's isn't your opinion? did I neg rep the wrong person?

[wellcharge]

dude have you read my posts before? that paragraph is clearly beyond my conception of grammar

if you knew anything of stupid foreign guys you would understand that post was composed to near perfection and was far beyond the understanding of my simple boratesque mind

[pbradley]

well, fuck, I can't pos rep to balance out

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to wellcharge again.

I guess I'll follow said command.

[wellcharge]

nah that's ok i'm owed a negrep, i negrepped terriblecrayons and they tried to neg rep me back but did positive by accident so this balances it out

the right word for the mars travolta is that they are exceedingly overpretentious, in that nothing they say they do is an inch of what it really is.

i have feelings of creepiness over them because a) i loved at the drive-in and b) i loved tremulant and de-loused in the comatorium...hell, i even think comatorium is one of my favorite albums still. but everything else i've heard them do is wanky solo after wanky solo after some yelping in random english and random spanish nothing but boredom in arrangements, instrumentation, production, etc.

i had the misfortune of seeing them live at a festival, they can't jam for shit even, they just play solo after solo in slow progression over the same riff until they come back to the composed part. and cedric has actual contempt for the audience, he wanted to throw a fire extinguisher to the crowd (this, from the guy who used to stop shows if people slamed because they get hurt).

i also think it's sad that they stole their name from volta do mar, i used to think their name was pretty cool until i found out volta do mar existed before them.

anyway, i liked the record omar did with damo suzuki like two years ago.

That's funny, actually, I accidentally type mars travolta all the time because I had to type it so much back in the day.

[Everyneurotic]

i like mars travolta way more than mars volta, people get offended all the time when i call them that.

[pbradley]

I bet it's less offensive than Mars Revolta.

i liked atdi when i was young sure, they are a gateway band, but they dont do much for me now. mars volta is embarassingly bad, almost everyone at this point has accepted that, so lets move on.
