yes i know what you mean. down here in austin a few years ago he sang every song with out sounding like a live band but more like the shit you listen to on your CD'S! he sang with studio quality. Its just the fact that since they are more famous they are working a lot more which involves a lot of strain on his voice box.
What seems really frustrating to me is the "I've defected" part of Eriatarka which he never gets ot right live, and have just gotten into a routine where he starts jumping around and ghost singing it.
The sound of the video has a lot to say about someone's voice. His voice is perfection live and that's what counts. Go see them live - they're the greatest! Perfection in my ears!
I would appreciate a link to the source of Cedric's enunciation, where he said they released a strictly pop-album, for fun! Then referring to Octahedron.
The Volta talk a lot about music being like a conversation live, and it's a great analogy.
But to weigh in on the old boy, fanboy and douchebag opinion sparring for just a second:
Bedlam and Octa are albums that only naive sensibilities can be converted into enthusiastic fans with. Their vices are up there with Spinal Tap style indulgence. If this isn't obvious, the wool is over yr visceral eyes. If you enjoy them that's fine too though. I have asserted a fact --debate its fact-hood.
You don't even know me or what i've done with my life. To call me a tool over my opinion about one band shows your lack of anything real in your life. I'm sure your one of those web nazi's who live vicariously through the internet. I've already posted way too much here, but i'm defensive when it comes to Mars Volta, it hits a little close to home with me. Just tired of all you so called fans who haven't like MV since their first full length. Guess what? You're not a fan.
every Volta album is COMPLEtelY different! i don't know how they do it. This is def. their slowest album and Omar only has one guitar solo! so weird! Compare this to the last album that had WAY too much emphasis on the new drummer...the last album was just the band trying to keep up with TP. This album is very slow, but incredible. I LOVE TEFLON.
my point being, is that Tremulant can't even be considered an album. Its an ep and is amazing but if i could only listen to three Volta songs to pop my cherry I would begin to question my loyalty as a fan., and my knowledge of music.
well, on the whole Tremulant and Octahedron debate... There is no way that I, A VERY HARDCORE VOLTA FAN can even begin to decide which album is my favorite. I say that your a dumbass for saying Tremulant is your favorite album, because first of all. A missing Chromosome is a FULL ALBUM which contains all of Tremulant ep and The Widow ep plus 3 other really amazing songs so if your gonna try and bring up that "oh your different from others" atleast know your shit, and broaden your horizons.
Great early performance, boys. I agree with the others that Cedric should stick to the higher octave for the entirety of the chorus. I am LOVING this song.
I think if he sang the whole chorus lower it would be cool, better than alternating low and high. If he can, I'd like him to do it the same way as the record, but I'm no singer so I don't know if that's a problem or not.
you guys suck if you're fans... first playing of the song live, plus not the best sound on the video. its only gonna get better with each show... im just so happy to see new mars volta
i hate you kind of volta fans. you dont know how to grow and change. tremulant was almost NINE years ago. a decade. they have changed. and will always. you sound like a 12 year old man. nobady listens to you guys anymore. shutup and just listen to tremulant by yourself all say. no hard feelings.
Yeah I agree. This album is great, and I don't know why people are saying it sounds mainstream, how the fuck is this more mainstream? Just bullshit starters I guess, they're everywhere. Change is good.
because it DOSENT sound like all of their albums and you just admited it. I didin't say it was BAD did I? Did i say change was BAD? It's not as good IN MY OPINION, but its definately not like tremulant which just happens to be my favorite album.
That's just wanna-be elitist fan rhetoric. That was a transition to what they became and your calling it the best album, please dude. You people saying De-Loused and Tremulant are the best albums, asking for Theodore back and saying the new album is acoustic pop need your frontal lobes removed. They have gotten better every album and that's the truth.
no moron...it's your OPINION. The only TRUTH is that the first albums cant compare with the latest ones. THAT is the point of contention. Your calling people with a different opinion than you "elitist fans" and then you go and spout your opinion like it's the fuckin bible. Are YOU stupid sir?
Ok moron, how can you say what I said is opinion, then immediately offer a statement as truth or fact that would also be an opinion. Furthermore the bible is a book of less than half truth so you might want to think of a different phrase to use here. People like you just wanna sound like a die hard fan when in actuality you were never a fan to begin with. If you denounce progression you might as well be listening to some lame radio band that reprises all their old ideas in every cd they release
You just contradicted yourself. You said I shouldn't make statements that are an opinion and portray them as truth. "Theodore back and saying the new album is acoustic pop need your frontal lobes removed. They have gotten better every album and that's the truth" You must be 3 kinds of retarded to be arguing this right now. And saying the albums cant compare IS truth. They used different equipment, different band members, different chords and a different STYLE. opinion based on FACTS retard.
Ugh, you're so stupid it hurts me. I was fine with you giving your statement as fact, it was YOU who brought the whole opinion vs. fact shit up and I was pointing out YOUR contradiction and you're still doing it in the last statement. What is it they say about stupid people not being aware of their own intellect? Different chords? You're obviously not a musician or a really shitty one who doesn't really know anything. I could break down each album and show you chords that exist on every album.
OK, tell me that Tremulant used the same scales, effects, style, rhythm, band mates, stage performace, energy , awrtwork and lyrics as the new album. Go ahead and do that buddy. My opinion is based on FACT. My argument isint that one album is objectivly better than the other like yours.
Didn't say all that, can you read? I just said the chord thing was a pretty stupid argument considering there are only so many scales in western music. You should also be hesitant on who you call 3 kinds of retarded considering you can't even spell.
