The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet [Live]

[saviorpants]

album* >.>

[saviorpants]

interesting to hear this again after listening to the aldum version so much. both kick ass.

[ExclaimedMusic]

The album version is so great.

[SuperTrancend]

25 days bitches

[FnjordKnot]

@MarchioVincenzo this isn't music you can TRY to LIKE. You either get it or you don't. The rodriguez-lopez's are on the cutting edge. Whatever that means.

[MarchioVincenzo]

I've been to a concert of their. It began to rain. I usually try to like EVERY kind of music, but theirs don't tell me anything....just pointless noises.

[FrettingCajarot]

@MarchioVincenzo I know what you mean. What helps is expanding your frame of mind, maybe try listening to a song not expecting a good string of notes or chords, but focus on the moment and forget about time. Try to place in the middle of the song, and let go of preconceptions and any human impulse. Try to make every note a different stroke of color in your head, closing your eyes. If you practice, they become more vivid and complex. Music is more than sounds, and senses aren't isolated.

[Themarsvoltaisgood]

I saw them in third grade, blew my mind, even as a little kid

[humaHkavula]

have seen them 3 times now. cant remember once. will never forgive myself for that lost memory. the other shows where that great. haven't seen a better act since them.

[Majoritis]

I've seen them twice live. To those who haven't seen them: BRING EAR PLUGS! my whole body was rattling! I would also suggest an outdoor venue! Shit gets crazy when contained!

[eazybrowniemix]

I really want to see them live at least once before I die.

[DazedAndConfused1974]

Damn, I'm so fucking pumped for the album! Sounds awesome, as usual. I swear on my unborn child that I will see them live this year. I'm hoping for a gig in Terminal 5.

[mrpepre]

nobody has mentioned how good the tremulant ep is....

[DandelionVolta]

[saviorpants]

i cannot fucking wait for this album. i will kill to get my hands on an early copy.

[LORDWIZARDKING]

@saviorpants BUT WILL YOU DIE FOR IT

[Georgelogan]

if u have made it to this video then pat urself on ur back for u have amazing music taste and are one of the few still left out there.

[Hamburgers585]

@Georgelogan this is ok but its too poppy, check out any song by painkiller or the crainium (that's how it's actually spelled)

[Hamburgers585]

@Georgelogan i realized there are a lot of bands called the crainium so to narrow it down listen to the album "a new music for a new kitchen" that will blow you away

[MrSonnyworld]

I can't wait for their new album to come out!

[dmaterialized]

Impossible to rank Volta albums, except to say that the majority of people feel Octahedron is weaker than the rest.

There's fantastic music on every single one. My favorite is either Deloused or Bedlam, but who cares?

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@dmaterialized

Right on. Sounds about right. I'd vote Bedlam.

[TheFlipanator]

@dmaterialized Except for Pitchfork. They think Octahedron's the best. But then again, it's a fairly safe bet to just do whatever's the opposite of what Pitchfork tells you.

[kyoodle]

@TheFlipanator Well they give it the highest score but in the review they say it's not the best album....Pitchfork are just fucking useless.

[taintedegotrip]

haha people are trying to rank volta's albums. All of them have their own personality so good luck with that

[ulazuhra]

BAD ASS MOTHERFUCKER

[NathanJ807]

1. Frances

2. Deloused

2. Amputechture

3. Octahedron

3. Bedlam

????. Nocturniquet (I assume I will love this album and rank it next to Frances.)

[0ofreako0]

@NathanJ807 agreed. frances is AMAZING.

[gorillazrgods]

On second thought, I don't think any Volta albums are truly bad, some just weaker than others. Octahedron definitely has its moments

[EVILSTACK]

Tremulant 8/10

De-loused 9/10

Frances 8/10

Scabdates 6/10

Amputechture 7/10

Bedlam 7/10

Octahedron 5/10

Noctourniquet 7/10

[FondlingReply]

@EVILSTACK Nigga the album isn't even out yet. Give the studio mix a chance.

[RetroReactive1038]

@EVILSTACK And a missing chromosome

[EVILSTACK]

De-loused

Frances

Noctourniquet

Amputechture

Bedlam

Octrahedon

[Specialboy1]

Hey people there is no way to rank The Mars Volta's albums. Whichever one you think is the best, you are wrong. Whichever one you think is the worst, you are also wrong. In severe instances such as these your opinion means diddly-squat.

[JestersGeneration]

sounds like dave is back?

[RadioheadShady]

1.Frances

2.De-Loused

3.Octahedron

4.Amputechture

5.Bedlam

[martyismartyr]

@RadioheadShady i think you mean 2 4 1 5 3

[gorillazrgods]

Octahedron is the worst, however, I still enjoy about half of the album

[RackumRackBALL]

Deloused is the best CD no question.

[machtheghost]

Hey fuck you people who think these guys should be making music for you. It's better than anything you lame youtube fucks could produce.

[VicteraIsler]

FUCK DELOUSED FUCK DELOUSED

FRANCES IS BETTER

AMP IS BETTER

BEDLAM IS BETTER

FUCK-DELOUSED

[XxInputxX]

@VicteraIsler I disagree. I think that Frances and Amputechture are tied with Deloused and Bedlam is the worst, no doubt.

[VicteraIsler]

@XxInputxX Seriously All 4 are in the same level...just listen carefully to bedlam is awesome...but octahedron is good but worst than the first 4

[trenken]

Uh, WTF is this crap?

[DandelionVolta]

The audio comes from this video daQnq96SQhA the uploader cut the part when Cedric explains the meaning behind the album's name

[warriorsoad]

cant fucking wait!!!

[wpk5009]

It's seeming more and more like Octahedron. Just so much more simplified and slow and not what you're looking for if you're a fan of the style from tremulant - bedlam. Even Bedlam In Goliath got a little iffy. I'm sure this album will have it's moments but doesn't seem it will be an experience like their others for me.

[TheBedlamInRaymundo]

This is not "deloused like", "frances like" or anything like any other the mars volta records, this is something new and it should be appreaciated as that, not to be compared to the past, it is what it is, Noctourniquet.

[Osteoporozis]

The only thing I'm worried about with Noctourniquet is that Cedric cut his hair... this could be a bad omen, but it just as well may be good. Whatever the case I'm buying it

[TheConditionedHuman]

Yeah, to people that say that the mars volta doesnt have anymore....just listen to this shit. Omar still has that shit. and cedric's vocal on this album are beast, too.

[kenndrummer]

T-T-T-T-T-TITLE TRACK

[mrmute05]

This is going to be one hell of an album. It's like a perfect blend of progressive elements and accessibility.

[ManiaMaster1]

Check out The Comatorium forum.

We got official details off a video game.

The album name is nocturniquet, we even have an artwork.

[FondlingReply]

Apparently LP6 is coming out MARCH 27. Tickle the Google, it tells you great shit.

[hans678910]

just compare this song with any other in de-loused. y'know what I mean?

[Apocol0id]

@hans678910 This feels very Deloused to me. It's great.

[chopsuey187]

Noctourniquet man

[FlyingFuckstorm]

I cannot fucking wait until we get studio versions of these songs.

[TheJohnBuffalo]

Any news on the new album? I heard early 2012.

[AllenHenry72]

@TheJohnBuffalo New information is that WB is pushing it back to mid-late 2012, at the earliest.

there is a gun at my head and I want to pull the trigger WHAT DO I DO

[TheJohnBuffalo]

@AllenHenry72 haha, I know what you mean. That's terrifying news. I thought I only had a few more weeks of waiting, I thought Cedric said January in an interview. If only him and Omar were actually in control of it getting released. It would've been out long ago, I'm sure.

[WolfataDoor]

Fuck Warner Brothers. Pushing this shit back to 2011? Just goes to show that it's all about the money and not about the musical talent.

[WolfataDoor]

@WolfataDoor My mistake, 2012.

[tayloruppchuck]

they are talking about moving the release to the end of this year due to the fanbase pressuring wb on facebook/twitter/etc. which is great for me, bc i am stoked.

[ScottBrown666]

where is my time machine

[Otherfile1]

when

does

this

album

cove

out!

[kentman86]

@Otherfile1 i read on wikipedia that cedric said the album won't be out until 2012 :(

[Otherfile1]

@kentman86 bastards! how dare do they put their next album so far away from my reach!!

[HookedOnMneumonics]

@Otherfile1 Blame the faggot ass record label.

[MrSilence77]

@HookedOnMneumonics is there any reason why they'd want to do that? It's really stupid.

[HookedOnMneumonics]

@MrSilence77 The Mars Volta isn't a super successful band and they're signed to Warner Brothers records. Their first album which was the most successful only sold half a million copies, and now they hardly bring in any revenue. Warner Bros. isn't going to rush to release the album when it won't sell shit, they're too busy worrying about their cash cow pop acts.

[igotthewhiskey]

@Otherfile1 COULDN'T AGREE MOREEE

[superKapitan82]

thank you!
