the mars volta always makes me think of...well lemme see if i can word this right...

if jimi hendrix played in the grateful dead but the grateful dead got rid of most of its members and started playing pink floyd covers with their own long jams and then met the dead kennedies, smoked some pot with them and took some influence from them, and then got darby crash and bjork to sing the duel vocals.

eh, close enough.

You know what? It is my true belief that the future of music is looking at reviving progressive rock and jazz fusion. People are getting smarter, they want smarter music, and eventually the shit people are used to hearing is gonna get old, and prog rock is going to be the surviving structure for people to find originality in. The Mars Volta is only the beginning of the prog-pop fusing bands we are gonna see in the future.

@MrAmputechture The music industry will keep up the manipulation of the human mind via media. BUT I think that the gap between people that really care about music (experiencing it on a deeper level than just hear'n'swallow) and those who only want a kick, snare, a women with silicon boobs whining about her broken heart, will become more obvious. And eventually, when it becomes too obvious, they will start to see. if they get the chance to! Share your music with the ones you love!

If only people were getting smarter...

@MrAmputechture

i hope this will happen...

since the end sixties the music was becoming smarter and smarter and then BOOM in 1977 punk happened.

3 chords and only screaming.

but mars volta could unite both of those

[magicwhiteguys]

@MrAmputechture I agree. Well Said.

cotopaxi part 2?

[VicteraIsler]

@binocularbard Yes I head their entire discography, and albums like piper, meddle and animals are outstanding but the rest of them...shit...compared to Volta of course...those who hear pink floyd never heard volta, if anyone says volta is better than floyd get flamed...

[ALEXXvsZOMBIES]

@Digitalknifeparty makes sense though, they are experimental so all the albums will be completely different.

[binocularbard]

@VicteraIsler eh...well, except for the piper at the gates of dawn. after syd barrett lost his mind, pink floyd was never the same. in fact, i would go as far to say that they kinda blew without syd barrett. david gilmore is nothing compared to syd barrett. although ill admit animals was a pretty kick ass album.

@canthinkverywell always thought in was more like the schizophrenic ramblings of an extraterrestrial who lives on a diet of opium cakes and shrooms.
