whats the hate on the mars volta, genuinely not just because im a fan it shows that omar and cedric can play different styles of music and can appreciate different styles of music. i still love both bands but dont just think atdi is the only type of music they play and acknowlage the talent in both bands.
I think most of marz volta vocals are cringe-worthy, had to actually turn it off, how anyone can listen that music without a bucket of salt is beyond me
@horsex5 I'll respect your opinion and all but seriously Cedric's vocals are incredible with TMV even if you like At The Drive-in better. His range is incredible, if you research it on here i'm sure you'll find a video showing that.
@horsex5 Yeah Omar's a great writer. Bought De-Loused just last week and I need Frances. They're their best albums by far, but I understand. When I first started listening to them I wasn't too sure about his voice for a little while. I knew he was talented but it was just the sound I wasn't used too. What stuff you usually listen too anyhow?
@revolver188 Drive Like Jehu, Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Les Savy Fav, Dinosaur Jr, RFTC, Pavement, Superchunk, RJD2, The Beatles, Hot Snakes, The Pixies, a bunch of others aswell, yourself?
@horsex5 Pixies, Beatles, Modest Mouse and Dinosaur Jr are all I've heard out of those. Usually Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, At The Drive-In, Mars Volta, The Last Shadow Puppets, Orchid and Death Cab For Cutie's older stuff.
@MikeTheGuy00 I partially agree, with De-Loused ya. But listen to 1:30 sounds just like Marz Volta and to me At the drive in has alot more life in it and the vocals are better, excluding some of de-loused.
@ExisTencePerse I'll never mention anything about the vocals being worse or better. it's always been good in every single one of the albums cedric and omar have worked in, the vocals have been sweet.
won't argue about at the drive in having more life. But let their recent works do the talking. The essence of a filmwork... the ambient theatrics. ATDI consisted of greatly written pieces, though, TMV consists of all the shades and lights - along with the stories. That's music brought to life.
@ExisTencePerse Honestly, there really isn't a point to talking about this... both bands are awesome. Well, one was. And the geniuses continue to make great music. Okay, finished. Now listen to the song everybody.

I don't think it would be a good idea to get them back together.
Explanation: It wouldn't be the same. Cedric doesn't really shout anymore, and he's grown up enough musically enough to not go back to this type of music. So, it would pretty much be TMV called ATDI. Then, hardcore ATDI fans would realize it's not the same and be upset, and they would only have the people who only liked TMV left, which isn't alot since the band didn't split up that long ago.. But I can talk forever. Summary:BADIDEA
Strawberry, you're stupid. He does shout, and just because they are older doesn't mean he won't go back to this. If they weren't thinking about getting back together, than they'd still be doing their own thing.
@StrawberryVoodoo "he's grown up enough musically enough to not go back to this type of music" are you stating that this kind of music is more inmature? i dont think that way
I heard that Cedric said he'd do an ATDI reunion if Jim died first, or something like that. I wouldn't count on it. And yes, venom 3114, this band is way better than the mars volta and sparta combined! No wait, it IS the mars volta and sparta combined. Haha, you know what I mean. I like the sum better than the latter.
This vid is fucking awesome and some history to just listeners to At the Drive in. I hope I get a reunited At the Drive In album for Christmas among other things
One of the best bands ever! Hey jeden Tag in der Arbeit höre ich 8 Stunden scheiß Antenne Bayern. Die meisten Menschen haben keine Ahnung von richtiger Musik. Schade eigentlich. Mein Beileid geht zu allen Leuten die auch am Arbeitsplatz scheiß Mainstreamweichspülmusik hören müssen. Zu At the Drive in - einfach geil.. schade dass die sich gesplittet haben..
I think we saw what they coulda been. It sucks when a band hits their peak and then doesn't stop. Like Nirvana peaked, then stopped, so we remember them. KoRn on the other hand, used to rule the world, and they still play music and no one gives a shit. Jon Davis shoulda died years ago. ROC was a great note to end it on. Sparta and Mars Volta shows us they didn't have much left in them. If they woulda kept going, we might all hate them. Or worse: forgotten them. Like KoRn ha
ADT-I however was special their groove could have lasted them another couple albums
i mean their evolution from hell paso to ROC was astounding they just got better and better,TMV has a lot of rythm and talent but when it gets all masged together sometimes it sounds really bad to be honest
the intro's for like arc arsenal and catacombs are just freakin bone-chilling epic
Both Nirvana and Korn did something that had never really been done before. Even if its not your taste you gotta admit it was different than anything in their day. ATDI was similar in that even to this day, no one really sounds like them. I don't doubt they mighta had a couple more really good albums left to make, but it wouldn't have been much. ROC is hard to top. Its possible they coulda done better. Its also possible they coulda killed it. Im just glad they stopped when they did. Just in case
Hehehe, I think the old saying for ladies applies to rock bands as well "A Lady always knows when to leave". KoRn didn't know when it was time to just move on, so, now, they've fade away.
I had tickets to see Weezer back in 2001. I bought the tickets way ahead of time only to realize that the day of the show, some asshole flew a plane into a building and the show got canceled. The show was set for 9/11/2001. However, they recently played with Blink182 and TBS. I didn't see that show but I've been told that they still mostly play their old stuff, so there might be some time to catch a good live experience before that band completely destroys itself and fades away.
not anymore. Omar got them all together so they could striaghten shit out. They said it could happen once they got the financial stuff dealt with cause there label screwed them
Typical record label. It would be so sweet if they reunited. They'd sound a lot more like Chiodos now that Cedric has his less course, more refined, extra girly voice. Anyway, where'd you get that information?
Thats totally not true.maybe you don't like it, but there is equal passion in both ATDI and TMV. They're tow different genre's of rock music, and they both show signs of genius. There's passion in most all music.
ATDI toured with RATM right before they recorded Relationship of Command.. so there is a connection there.. but to compare the two.. well they certainly both pioneered amazing new sounds.. but they are not similar enough to really say one is better than the other. They Both Rock! Just be glad that they both exist so you don't have to listen to the average generic crap thats so popular these days!
I agree. I think that it is hard to understate the influence that touring with one band plays on an other when the other has been touring and writing songs independently for almost 7 years at that point. I can see how Cedric's voice attacks in a similiar way as Zach's but that is basically a coincidence, not something that evolved out of ATDI listening to RATM. To me to say Cedric ripped his style off of Zach is like saying I've never heard ATDI before RoC and want to pass judgement on them. :P
Oh, but I looooove that album!!!! C'mon man, Cryptomnesia rules, it's chaotic, has funny lyrics, unique melodies, it's really one hell of an album! :)
No, I'm sorry, but Crytomensia is just another one of Omar's solo churn-out-four-albums a year mindfucks. Except for Old Money, he's been doing that same thing for years and it's time people got tired of it and forced him to go back to being the godly musician he used to be.
there seems to be a prevailing theme of abuse/brainwashing/desensitizing/ behavioral conditioning, particularly in this song. taser taser kindergarten nap nap time pacifier pacifies. Being taught docility and not to question authority. Maybe im reading to much into it but i do remember reading an interview with the band and they were talking about one song which was inspired by news of people in some central american country having been "disappeared" by their government.
maybe the title suggests something like a pill (capsule) that makes people pretty much robots to society and their government. (like theyre sleepwalking or something?) idk thats what i get from it
Aesthetically Rage and At the Drive In's respective sounds or styles or whatever are i think pretty distinctly different. But as i understand it alot of Relationship of Command is about the oppression or subjugation of Group AbyGroup B (hence the title).Group A being the many hard working proletariat type and Group B being the few elite.And although the lyrics on this album are far more cryptic than a song like Sleep now in the Fire by Ragewhich makes blatant historicalreferences to imperialism,
I was responding to the guy who said RATM are better musicians not you. And no I don't see the connection there either, they have a dramatically different soudn.
uhhh these guys were KIDS when this album was released.. listen to the latest mars volta album, or check out cryptomnesia and tell me they aren't incredible musicians.
Actually, I can understand what he means, when he strains his voice he sounds a bit like Tim from Rise Against, however, the instrumentation is completely different.
Seriously? ATDI is good,but is shit compared to mars, seriously people, the volta are the best band in history of prog rock!

Cedric, and Omar. You can tell by the similarities in the lyrics. I think at least another one of them has guest appearances in TMV.

ATDI toured with RATM right before they recorded Relationship of Command.. so there is a connection there.. but to compare the two.. well they certainly both pioneered amazing new sounds.. but they are not similar enough to really say one is better than the other. They Both Rock! Just be glad that they both exist so you don't have to listen to the average generic crap thats so popular these days!

I agree. I think that it is hard to understate the influence that touring with one band plays on an other when the other has been touring and writing songs independently for almost 7 years at that point. I can see how Cedric's voice attacks in a similiar way as Zach's but that is basically a coincidence, not something that evolved out of ATDI listening to RATM. To me to say Cedric ripped his style off of Zach is like saying I've never heard ATDI before RoC and want to pass judgement on them. :P

I love The Mars Volta, ATDI AND Omar, but the new cryptomensia by him is awful. Good musicianship technically, but still awful.

Oh, but I looooove that album!!!! C'mon man, Cryptomnesia rules, it's chaotic, has funny lyrics, unique melodies, it's really one hell of an album! :)

No, I'm sorry, but Crytomensia is just another one of Omar's solo churn-out-four-albums a year mindfucks. Except for Old Money, he's been doing that same thing for years and it's time people got tired of it and forced him to go back to being the godly musician he used to be.

there seems to be a prevailing theme of abuse/brainwashing/desensitizing/ behavioral conditioning, particularly in this song. taser taser kindergarten nap nap time pacifier pacifies. Being taught docility and not to question authority. Maybe im reading to much into it but i do remember reading an interview with the band and they were talking about one song which was inspired by news of people in some central american country having been "disappeared" by their government.
nonodont 2 years ago
maybe the title suggests something like a pill (capsule) that makes people pretty much robots to society and their government. (like theyre sleepwalking or something?) idk thats what i get from it

Aesthetically Rage and At the Drive In's respective sounds or styles or whatever are i think pretty distinctly different. But as i understand it alot of Relationship of Command is about the oppression or subjugation of Group AbyGroup B (hence the title).Group A being the many hard working proletariat type and Group B being the few elite.And although the lyrics on this album are far more cryptic than a song like Sleep now in the Fire by Ragewhich makes blatant historicalreferences to imperialism,

I was responding to the guy who said RATM are better musicians not you. And no I don't see the connection there either, they have a dramatically different soudn.

uhhh these guys were KIDS when this album was released.. listen to the latest mars volta album, or check out cryptomnesia and tell me they aren't incredible musicians.

They sound nothing like that band, and they are far more talented.

Either way, just parts of this song sound like R.A. Thats all I'm saying.
MurderTrainAComin 2 years ago
Actually, I can understand what he means, when he strains his voice he sounds a bit like Tim from Rise Against, however, the instrumentation is completely different.

I think they would have made much more money and had more fans if the didn't turn into The Mars Volta.
