Yes! More Volta! One of the greatest bands of all time.
Props for taking this on. TMV are not for the faint of heart. For me they just clicked the second I heard them but for many they can be overwhelming and I can completely understand that. They cover many genres but what I think makes them stand out from the prog crowd is that almost constant underlying latin groove that pervades all their music. I absolutely love them and put them up there with Tool as one of my fave bands. Thanks for doing this, I think you already kinda know what you're in for, but prepare yourself for quite a trip!
Holy trinity for me=The Mars Volta, Tool and Ween
@@damiankirkwood7924 For me it's TMV, Tool and Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree
@@LoudModeOn perfect choices
TMV is highly underrated. The rare occasions I find a fellow fan, its an immediate YES \m/. Frances the mute is unreal, and over 15 years later still blows me away. I often test the waters with people and they are often overwhelmed. But theres nothing like it for me, the sequencing how every track fades to the next, the incredible instrumentalists, the fucking drums goddamn, and didnt Flea play on this album too?
Oooohhhh thanks man for doing this, I really appreciate it.
So a little background for TMV. The band formed in 2001 after the departure of guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala from their previous band, At the Drive-In.
They are the "official" band members. The first writes the all the music and the second writes the lyrics and vocal melodies.
In this album you have hard rock, psychedelic rock, prog, free jazz, and latino influence. Plus high pitched vocals, great drumming, catchy bass lines, crazy solos, and lots of sound effects. The music is very experimental, and of course the lyrics too. They use a lot of metaphores, poetry, mythology stuff, and some made up words in english and misspelled spanish.
Each song in FTM is about a different person, and once you listen it all the story will make sense. And as I mentioned it's not a straight forward story. There's no way to be 100% sure about what the album is telling, but so far you're in the right path.
Thanks for this Omar! I look forward to the rest of the week!
You're a real one Omar, I love TMV fans. Yo siempre ando buscando reacciones a la banda, estoy obsesionado jaja
Plus, I remember reading somewhere many of their songs take root in the practice of 'Santeria' which has been culturally prevalent both in Puerto Rico and México which are their respective places of origin, sorry for not having the source handy. But it does explain a lot of the cryptic, metaphorical, and sometimes occult nature of their lyrics. Santeria is a religious practice that takes its qualities from both African religions and Roman Catholicism and deals with aloooooooooot of the themes presented throughout their body of work.
Great reaction, you looked moved and confused. Tbh, that's still me 10 years into listening to TMV.
I enjoy your deep breathe on minut 6.47... That's the spirit when listen TMV. My first time was with Aberinkula and I breath more deep in the first seconds...
Nice! I love TMV. It is a lot to take in for sure, in one listen. Good job.
I saw them live 3 times. Incredible acts. I was just exhausted after each😆.
THANK YOU for covering TMV! Brilliant band who played my stomping grounds regularly, populated by some of the finest musicians of their generation...KEEP GOING!!! This whole album, along with the next 2 are profound, frenetic fever dreams...in the best way. NUNQUAM DORMIO!!!
imo one of if not the best albums to come out in the early 2000's i heard it on one of those cd sample listens in the music stores when i was 15, i was completely floored an immediately bought it
Bad ass band bro. They an entire mood for sure
Crikey... Saw TMV live about 15 years ago I think, and own this album and not listened to it for many years. A real blast from the past! Forgot how "out there" they were! Your face is a picture at some parts. Props to you for sticking with it. Seriously, it's definitely a grower...
Wait Omar from the band or a guy who’s name is Omar who happens to love the band. Am so happy more people are giving the band a chance. Best band ever hands down
Haha I wish it was Omar from the band! 😂😂😂 another Omar that happens to love the album!
that middle jam with the weird timing.. they used to play that in the middle of other songs during the deloused tour
During Drunkship
This album is a masterpiece!
I have listened to this band almost every day sins 2003
Cant get the same feeling from any other band
I was nervous for you, taking on a whole album of this band without ever hearing them. They are crazy but I like them a lot, but I could see how they wouldn't be for everyone, so I'm glad you didn't commit to a whole album if you didn't like the first track! 🤣 Looking forward to the rest of the album with you!
And THAT'S what it feels like to be fucked in the mind by the Mars Volta!
18 song ideas in ONE track!
A trippy, hypnotic 2/3/1 beat...
Just so much my brain loves to crunch around...
Special thanks to Omar!
Wait, what?
Oh this will be fun. I remember working with another fan on TMVs fansite forum back in 2005 to try to figure out what the album was about and I think we eventually mostly got there. I'm very interested to see your journey through the record. Great job so far!
Usually, when a certain sound “isn’t for everyone” it’s because it’s not easily accessible as, say, pop music. This is complex listening and requires repetitive playback. They are heavily jazz-influenced, which is why to this day people still listen to bebop from the 50s. Simply timeless, futuristic music.
Fantastic song and I do hope you'll return to it to be able to take it all in. (Good thing you aquainted yourself with the lyrics beforehand since it makes it a bit easier to focus on the music)
Just wait for Cassandra, It will blow ur mind!
Full eight track version
@@dan.j.boydzkreationz Exactly, 32 mins.
Cygnus' constellation name comes from the Greek for swan, so that could make some sense also of the bird themes throughout the song
Right,.. the story includes content of spain cartell,...The song name is regarding to BOND,..JAMES BOND..
Frances is the mother of vismund,..miranda is vismunds grandmother,..lvia ( vismunds aunt) and frances are siblings
Absolutely love the Volta. Interesting to hear your take on this song considering the general theory seems to be... okay never
Mind sorry. I started to comment before I heard the part about no spoilers!
Hoo boy! This is gonna be a trip. If you can make sense of the lyrics on this album after just one listen you are a true hero. Gotta say though, you had some good thoughts here, also with being wary of making too rash interpretations. Think it'll serve you.
And... no offense, but 16:44 made me think of a televangelist...
THOSE DRUMS 🙌🏾
Niceeee... Day of baphomet is amazing too
I’ve read somewhere this album is about a fetus that was cut out of the mother’s womb but somehow survived. In unrelated news: Flea plays bass on all but two of these songs.
The face one has when decoding raw new information, sacred weird hidden psychedelic frequencies.... Their songs are such unique rides, so different one from another. If you get the chance, react to the album Amputechture :DDD And i saw that from time to time you closed your eyes.... just keep em closed man, you gotta real get lost into the mixture odf sounds these dudes achieved :DDDD
Correction: Ahhhhhh!
One word...TELEVATORS...☝️
Hell yes Queensryche and now TMV?
The song name is related to BOND,....JAMES BOND..
Yo btw, it's probably a bad idea to have the lyrics in front of you as you're listening to The Mars Volta (in particular), it takes the spontaneity out of the timing. What would be better would be to skim some of the lyrics (or better have someone show specific lyrics of interest out of order) so you recognise them when you see them but don't know when each verse/instrumental will start and end.
Omar sent you the slightly shorter version of this song.
The clue is the title...hint: Ugly Duckling
Yeah the swan,...but the real clue is cygnus,....vismund cygnus,...comes from bond...james bond,...and the spy kind infiktrating the spain cartell,...and the cover,the red pouch,comes from cartell too..
Best band but this is my least favorite album of theirs
Would this be a good introduction though? Surely if I like this, I’m gonna love everything else?
@@ThomasJ_Music oh don’t worry, you will like it. This album is considered to be their best by most of the Mars Volta fans, I just have weird taste haha. The reason i like this album the least is because there is a lot of ambient parts and jam parts which I don’t really like. I prefer when the album is very packed and dense like their two following albums « Amputechture » and « The Bedlam in Goliath »
@@ThomasJ_Music Frances and DITC are the most popular (a bigger fan base likes them), but you find a smaller amount of people adore Amputechture more than anyone enjoys the other two. They had an album called Bedlam in Goliath, this album could have been their best and most popular album if it went to plan, but a lot of shit happened in the studio. I like to pretend that Octahedron never existed it is so bad. Noctourniquet is nice though. Bedlam I have no opinion on as it was a doomed project, however there are a couple of gems lie Ilyena and Cavalettas.
Amputechture is their best album for me. It was also the last real mars volta album, theodore on drums
@@usefulidiot9896 My favorite album is Bedlam In Goliath and then Amputechture. I personally liked Ocathedron and have it on vinyl. It's a beautiful contrast to the craziness of Bedlam. I care the least for Noctourniquet and their debut, even though they are undisputably both great records.
Best is amputecture ,followed by deloused and frances,..then,noctourniquet,..then bedlam and octahedron....but all those records are fabulous,..they differ too much,..
