The Mars Volta -- Tetragrammaton, part 2 of 2 [album version]

[FeldbergThePlayer]

For me, shit gets real at 2:55. That's when I start convulsing from the levels they put out. From that point on, things go into ultravolta.

[SuperDarrrrr]

buena cansion



[jjdc3288]

jon theodore was perfect for this band

[AdmiralDonuts]

I found myself to be suddenly and inexplicably nude after this video ended.

THE KIOSK IN MY TEMPORAL LOBE IS SHAPED LIKE ROSALYN CARTER

[tothecor50]

I'm a pretty active person, but have gone light on sleep since before college. Convinced that I am one day going to have a sleep deficit-induced seizure....I hope it happens while listening to this song. Part 2, preferably, but either is fine.

[gengep]

FUCKING GR8!!!

[AllenHenry72]

0:40 is just... I mean FUCK.

[thewalkingxperiment]

@AllenHenry72 fap time forever? i know.

THE KIOSK IN MY TEMPORAL LOBE IS SHAPED LIKED ROSALYN CARTER

[briel]

@cdiSPAGHETTI That is my favorite line of any lyric, ever.

[youwatchmebe]

i wish it was longer!

[chinguidinsky]

6:40 the best IMO

[SolvingOurKreation]

4:11 Gives me the chills. it's like a cold gloomy day...

[LookSquirrel]

@SolvingOurKreation

My favorite part of the song. The way the guitar sounds makes me feel so many things and images of gloom flow through my mind. Something beautiful.

[SolvingOurKreation]

3:28

<3

[Komraide]

Its a shame these guys aren't making the same kind of money or fame as most musicians, but I love them the same. Cedric's a crazy motherfucker, but artistic to all fuck. If I had to describe them in a phrase, it'd be "Dali cloned himself and made a 5 piece band."

[cinnabin]

@bloomingdedalus youre probably right, king crimson killed it in 72-74ish though, and robert fripp has a huge influence on omar obviously

[melemonpie]

Hermoso

[jayinater]

2:55 - holy. fuck.

[kurtcobaincampbell]

I orgasm at 0:14

[Nigel1792]

@kurtcobaincampbell Me too brother.

[MrRlDk]

Masterpiece

[bloomingdedalus]

@MrRlDk Most definitely - I'm torn between this and the whole of Cassandra Gemini as the finest pieces of Rock Music produced since the 1970's or so.

[angelbeta]

@bloomingdedalus This and Cassandra Gemini can hang with anything put out by the greats (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Beatles, etc.).

[shaolinkungfu666]

@angelbeta i'd say that of all their songs except since we've been wrong and the widow.

[AndrewTorriente]

@angelbeta because they are both super long? I know you would not admit it but sadly that is the reasoning in your silly little mind

I love this band and lengthy epics TRUST ME, but both this song and Cassandra Gemini are in need of trimming fat and they could have been even better with ear pointed a bit more towards song structure as opposed to virtuosity.

There is a reason "close to the edge" is a minute and a half longer than this, but feels five minutes shorter...

[briel]

@AndrewTorriente Psht, that's just your opinion. This song feels like 2 seconds to me. Don't be so quick to assume that how a song makes you feel is how it makes everyone else feel.

[matoskoi]

@bloomingdedalus you are so right.

[matoskoi]

@bloomingdedalus you are so right.

[bus10ful]

The best part happens at 3:08

[funnyhellmeri]

wWOOOwWWw!!!

[bbird2]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhh fuck. If I ever went on CHAINSAW killing spree... this would be the song playing in my ipod

[dictionarytables]

:42 My favorite part of the whole song, it makes me want to dance like Cedric.

[Otherfile1]

this band is the fckn shit thanks for the post!
