    Awesome awesome band. i've seen em 3 times and blown away every time!


    yeah ive seen them 3 times as well.
    the first time was in 2004 on the strength of me digging deloused. i thought WTF!!
    the second time was in 2006 basically cause i was still digging them and i wasnt gonna allow them to get away with me disliking them live. i was fully prepared and knew i was hooked.
    the third time was the following night after the 2nd time. it was in an old theatre and i sat there with my head resting on the seat in front of me and just let the sound wash over me. it was brilliant. :)
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    i only have their first album and think it's one of the best albums,musically..i really dislike his signing style, tho...that rush sound....they opened for system of a down and played straight thru their entire set w/o breaks, flawless
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Wow, I am delighted to hear they are releaseing a new album soon. I really love the forst album and the latest. I couldn't get into frances the mute that much.

    Deloused is amazinf from start to finish. It it so jawdropping. Once that album clicks with you, you are lost!

    love the mars volta but when i saw them in philie opening for the chili peppers the sound was so bad me and my friends had to walk out. wasnt there thought they were playing their asses off but it just didnt mix well and you couldnt really hear what was going on. the horns and vocals were so high pitched i thought my ears were gonna bleed.
    Get over here!
  • I can´t wait to see this band on stage...Maybe with their next cd, they´ll do a world tour...hope so!!!
    ...can´t wear my mask, your first my last...

    That’s wicked they played a whole new album. Didn’t even know they had another one ready to go
