Crack the Skye is really good. Really really good. But it sounds absolutely nothing like The Mars Volta. /off topic Cryptomnesia is fucking dank, I can't wait to blast this on my turntable.
[QUOTE=lord-0f-dark;14612190]If anyone's interested, Mastodon's new album Crack The Skye sounds a lot like a metal version of The Mars Volta (with better singing) :)[/QUOTE] Yeah right TMV singing is amazing.
[QUOTE=Benji;14618003]Yeah right TMV singing is amazing.[/QUOTE] Mastodon are also good though, Crack the Skye is an excellent album. Cedric sang on the song Siberian Divide by Mastodon and Ikey played on the song Pendulous Skin by them too.
Anyone have an ideas for a TMV avatar? I want a change but I have no ideas for the avatar..

I take back what I said about Cryptomnesia. It's really great, it has to grow on you though. I couldn't get some songs out of my head all day
I'm really digging this guys.
I just came in here to say that The Mars Volta isn't really psychedelic

[QUOTE=Cerpin Taxt;14646302]Official Octahedron confirmation and news: Hmmm....no Adrian?[/QUOTE] I think him and Paul have left.
Adrian is still with them; his tour schedule on myspace has all the Volta tourdates on it. [url]http://www.myspace.com/adrianterrazasgonzalez[/url] I don't get it :/

[QUOTE=King_of_Town;14632141]I just came in here to say that The Mars Volta isn't really psychedelic[/QUOTE] I don't think you're the first to say this.
Yup. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=543407&page=3[/url] Post #87 and the exact answer I was looking for, post #89.
Ahaha awesome.
Thanks, by the way.
NP. We should be getting one of the singles within the next 2 weeks or so...I'm debating whether or not I want to listen to them or not once they're released. I listened to almost half of Bedlam before it even came out, which kinda lessened the experience of hearing the whole thing for the first time.
That's a very hard decision to make. I'll probably end up caving and listening to any new tracks I can get my hands on, though.
I wonder if we'll hear the first of Octahedron soon. The song titles are pretty crap but it should be good.
Oh awesome, Since We've Been Gone has a different title outside of America.
I had to jump through some fuckin hoops to get this because my record store let me down, but it was worth it.

Some great shit right here.

I can't wait until my copy arrives in a bit. I ordered the edition with the poster. So fucking stoked for it.
How stereotypical is Omar's name?
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;14735206]How stereotypical is Omar's name?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it really is. Suppose it's to balance out the mentalness of Cedric Bixler Zavala.

Album art...not sure if this is the front or back...I hope it's the back, DO NOT FUCKING WANT!

[QUOTE=SilverHammer;14745949]Wait didn't they JUST put out an album[/QUOTE] Yeah over a year ago and it was amazing.
