When you said “Billy Talent” I threw my phone against the tv and broke everything. Thousands of dollars of damage. So I go to the store and get new phone, tv, puppy (I may have punted my other puppy off the balcony, idk I was having an episode). Get home, set everything up, take a selfie with the puppy and finally get back online so I can write this comment. As soon as the video starts to play again I heard “Billy Talent” again and I just lost it. Broke everything again, but there was more fire this time. Anyways, I’m on set-up number 4 or 5, idk I lost count. But yeah, Billy Talent is great and all but The Mars Volta is God. It’s that simple.
You should do the whole album! It's a really great album straight thru. And you seem to be diggin the whole story thing so you should go for it. Also you should check out Omar and Cedrics old band At the Drive-in. Their album Relationship of Command is a killer album!
And In Casino Out. And Acrobatic Tenement. And Vaya. 😎god they were something special. Got to see them 4 times as ATDI and the first two Volta tours. Magic. Like somehow they manifested literally magic onstage. Like Elliott Smith in his prime. Or Radiohead circa 1996-2001.
I opened for them on the At The Drive In “acrobatic tenement” tour in 1996, and they were killing it then.... 26 years at least now.🤷🏻♂️ and they were ... INSANE back then. They must’ve been playing since 1993/1994 at least. Cause they had a 7” and a full length out in 1996. Not easy for a DIY band of skinny punk kids from “Hell Paso,” TX. But they were something special. Seamlessly transferred into this record in terms of Cedric and Omar’s vision for the sound.
@@jhall988 In that part of the story, Cerpin wakes up in an operating room where the surgeon's hands are made of dogs. The surgeon turns Cerpin into a creature called Moatilliatta. It's all in the booklet, you can read it to find out more about the other songs
@@jhall988 it's a short storybook written by Cedric and Jeremy that was only included in a few copies of the original DITC, it basically tells the story of the album track by track. You can find it online in PDF format
If this is your first Mars Volta song, you began in a great place. This is IMO one of their best tracks because it covers just about everything they do musically. It has their madness, their groove, their dense esoteric lyrics, their emotion, and their ability to weave complex instrumentals in and out of each other. If you're interested in more of their music, esp from this album, Televators is easily one of their most emotionally charged songs with an absolutely beautiful bridge towards the back half, and Eriatarka is a track that is a musical journey like this one.
The thing you need to understand about Cedric's vocals is that half of them are genius storytelling and half of them exist just to sound cool. Turns out Cedric got inspiration for vocals by sitting in front of a wall of TVs and just watching and combining images. If you want to understand The Mars Volta, you need to learn to discern the two. Crazy cool stuff either way
"De-Loused in the Comatorium" and the "Cerpin Taxt" character was based off Julio Venegas, a friend of Cedric's and a member of the El Paso music scene. He went into a coma after trying to take his own life, which he came out of. Sadly, he ended up taking his own life in 1996.
Drummer was Jon Theodore who now drums for Queens of the Stone Age. Check out "Feet Dont Fail Me Now" off of their newest album (great discography all the way through) also: Circa Survive
The slice up and not across is absolutely a suicide reference. The song may or may not be about suicide but the two mains in the band have admitted to heroin use and that they knew guys who died from that addiction.
Love the Mars Volta. I know their music is weird. This is one of their most straightforward albums and it is one of those you need to listen from start to end because they are perfect (at least for me). I have a list of albums like these: BSSM by the Red Hot Chili Peppers Relationship of Command by At the Drive In (the singer and guitarist from Mars Volta are in this one too but is a post punk band from the late 90s) Lateralus by Tool Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age Permanent Waves by Rush (i could go on but my memory us failing)
Ah, The Mars Volta, such glorious madmen. The video they do with the lead singer dressed as The Elephant Man is unsurpassed in weirdness, but this number is right up there. Structure? We don't need no stinkin' structure! A very talented band. Go listen to something weird? Will the voices in my head do? REC!! "In a Daydream" by The Freddy Jones Band. Delightful.
Just a heads up 'The Elephant Man' video you referenced for the song Goliath actually doesn't include Cedric. He wasn't able to make the shoot that day and they had a stand-in dance around covering his face. Great song and video though.
Would dig if you did a song by song review of this album. One of my top5 bands. I enjoy the intellectual perspective you share on "not so easy listening" styles of music. Keep up the good work man!
Nice job. I like your format and process while breaking down the song. Although it saddens me greatly to hear that anyone on the planet would know who Billy talent is and not mars fuckin volta!
Good job, TMV is awesome, this is their best album, you should listen to the whole thing all the way through. Listening to one song of this album is like watching only one scene from a movie!
@@JuniioMusic Right on man! Do you ever react to live performances? BTW I really enjoyed your interpretation of the lyrics and instruments, you have earned a subscriber! Anyway, TMV early live shows are... something hard to describe. I would suggest this one for the "early days" experience: th-cam.com/video/Esi4ATorlqA/w-d-xo.html
Southbayspike is pleased with the opened-mindedness Juniio has approached this track with. The album is based in truth. A good friend of theirs, Julio Venegas, took that deadly mixture which left him in a coma till the plug was pulled. So your assessment was pretty much on the head. If you choose to delve into the album start to finish independently, please let me know what you think of it as a whole. Reaction-wise, there are plenty of other tracks from other albums that could be reacted to if you so choose to do that. Most of their albums are concept albums. Although, some fans may be disappointed in not seeing your reaction to some of the tunes in this album. It could be interesting for you to check out At The Drive-In independently. It was from the ashes of that band that The Mars Volta was born. Fear not, I shall be waiting on my perch for the perfect timing to suggest another challenging obscurity to broaden your musical horizon.
Junio, I think you’d really dig listening to the rest of this album (it’s progy-conceptual, so it tells an overall story) The Mars Volta is a band that can often err on the side of over-indulgent, and this (their first album) is actually my favorite of theirs because Rick Rubin made it sound more focused. Inerticatic ESP is a pretty great single from that first album that actually got some radio-play in the early 2000’s.
Trying to peel back all of Cedric's lyrics? You're a madman! He admits that sometimes he picks lyrics not because they mean a particular thing, but because they evoke a particular emotion, and he wants more to evoke emotional states in the listener than have them think of a particular, concrete thing. These guys are spectacular (and I'm not just saying that because the bandleaders are fellow Texans). Their first three albums are, to my ear, nearly flawless, and the second half of their discography has some brilliant moments among the duds (Octahedron and Nocturniquet are rough, though, even as a pretty die-hard fan). I've heard these guys described as King Crimson, if they were into Latin Jazz and amphetamines. Frances the Mute is filled with some amazing tunes. Cygnus, l'Via l'Viaquez, or the whole ridiculous second half... Day of the Baphomets, Goliath, Meccamputecture, Viscera Eyes... these guys have so many great songs. Just be warned that Omar, the guitarist, has openly stated he wants to be "a needle in the ear of the common man," and, consequently, sometimes composes things that are intentionally opaque on listening. Also, if you love that frenetic energy at the end, check out "Eriatarka," off the same album. It does some REALLY cool stuff with jagged rhythmic stuff (there's a lot of syncopation on the first two iterations of the chorus, making the guitar sound really disjointed, and then the last time it plays in a square rhythm so you can follow the melody).
Good reaction to one of the harder songs of Mars Volta (imho). Hearing you easily say that there's a difference between singular songs and complete album listens is exactly how I feel. Wanting to listen to the rest of the record to contextualise what you've just listened to is good character in my book. Though I've never paid heed to the concept stories I've always listened to The Mars Volta as an album band and mark their albums as good or better. Usually when playing live they use those bridges to run solos that can be from 2 minutes to 30 minutes and are purely focusing (as well as in studio) on creating music without knowing the entire score, which always makes for an interesting listen. If you're looking for something that's more refined, but yet crazy Goliath or Ouroborous by - you guessed it - The Mars Volta x)
My favorite band, Mars Volta reaction is an auto sub haha. Actually did a volta cover for the first vid on my channel. Thanks for making that vid, that was great. Theyre definitely a taxing band to listen to, requiring some real effort on the listeners behalf, at least when first listening. A big part of their music is just appreciating the raw musicianship. You certainly have a educated view on songwriting. That was very enjoyable!
This whole record is so good, and the start of what would come with the rest of The Mars Volta and Omar's work. There's stuff from At the Drive-in still in here too, but this album was the real turning point stylistically.
I really enjoyed your comments and analysis on this track from an album that has exhilarated and haunted me for years. Definitely check out the whole thing. If you want something fun and visceral, try the band Moon Tooth. The song Through Ash is a vocal tour de force, and many other tracks are probably up your alley
Dude, I recommend you do a full album reaction to Frances the Mute. I’d say to react to Cassandra Gemini, their 32 minute opus, but there’s some moments in the song that are sooooo much better when played in the context of the rest of the album.
The story and album are about a real-life friend they had whom also put himself in a coma, and whom also woke from and finished the job...unfortunately. The friend is Cerpin Taxt, and tremulants are the name of shadow creatures chasing him in his coma. The majority of the album is of him in his coma.
I usually say their albums go on to increasingly diminishing returns except the first two. I like Frances more than this, just barely. But then, every album is a step down from the previous.
A little late on this, but Take the Veil was originally going to the opening track. So technically your questions concerning the story told in the album could be answered by listening to the rest.
Aww yiss. Volta. Their music is a really interesting journey, especially their album called Frances The Mute. I'll make a request for The Black Queen. "Lies About You" is a great start. Keep the vids coming!
Cedric's lyrics are almost always cryptic at best, and almost non-sensical at worst (specially when looking at them with no context, good think you researched a bit before listening), and as you noticed, he also seems to have a knack for picking words you'd have to look up in a dictionary haha. Giving this album a listen in its entirety would definitley be something you would enjoy and appreciate me thinks, specially since it's widely considered their magnum opus.
haha yeah, the lyrics definitely seemed impenetrable at first, but it was still a fun song! I'll have to make sure to check out the rest of the album sometime.
Yea he did pretty well! if y'all think this is a trip, try to read the novella Cedric wrote for the record. This all extremely loosley based on the death of their good friend and weird mentor IRL.
hey young man, I been listening to the volta since 2003. My suggestion to you is to hear roulette dares, and then cygnus vismund cygnus, then viscera eyes., then aegis, then malkin jewel. i suggest you skip octahedron.
What's up, Junio? Feels like The Mars Volta is an acquired taste to me. No question about their talent, and I've heard a couple tunes I like, but overall the mix is too bright for my heavy, sludgier taste. Great breakdown as always tho 🙏 Hope you get to something by Samsara Blues Experiment...... One with the Universe or Vipassana. ✌️Out!
Try out Closure in Moscow: Kissing Cousins........... Oh and btw great job breaking down the lyrics. Most reactors don't bother with that kind of stuff.
@@JuniioMusic He also played horns + Frusciante from RHCP played guitar on this album as well as future albums. you should try and do l'via l'viaquez by them. it opens with a killer solo from John and is in spanish and english
Seriously, no point in trying to understand the lyrics. Singer admits that on a lot of songs the words don't mean anything, they just sound interesting.

Cerpin Taxt did wake up from his coma, he actually died by jumping off a bridge--as referenced in Televators
Lilián Cervantes I almost forgot that Take the Veil was supposed to be the first track. Make sense that Televators is actually the end of the story.
I knew it was bout a story but what is Eriatarka about... I understand some of the chorus

Cedric also uses alot of oxymorons too, which make his lyrics even harder to decipher

The Mars Volta - Cassandra Gemini ALL 32 MINUTES, arguably their best work

"l'via l'viaquez" video by the mars volta
It's time for Leprous - Forced Entry !
Kudos for your interpretation skills❤
do another volta trackkkk
You nailed it
Love Volta
Love your reactions
why thanks
I also hear Billy talent in the chorus, maybe Billy talent were influenced by the Mars volta.
He Probably does because this album is hella old
It’s about their friend jumping off an overpass man.

Luciforms!? Cassandra Gemini? Sooooo many other great songs. Tetagrammaton
Octahedron is immense
Protest the hero - Harbinger
Added to the list!
Great react. You need to do more Volta.
What's up, Junio?
Feels like The Mars Volta is an acquired taste to me. No question about their talent, and I've heard a couple tunes I like, but overall the mix is too bright for my heavy, sludgier taste.
Great breakdown as always tho 🙏
Hope you get to something by Samsara Blues Experiment...... One with the Universe or Vipassana.
✌️Out!
Randy Cramer dude, check out Meccamputechture
Glad you enjoyed the video man and don't worry, I haven't forgotten!
Should also check out 'The Malken Jewel'
Try out Closure in Moscow: Kissing Cousins........... Oh and btw great job breaking down the lyrics. Most reactors don't bother with that kind of stuff.
Glad you enjoyed the video, I do what I can haha. And thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list!
More Volta brah
The whole album is about there friend that committed suicide and the tremulants are his bad thoughts.
That’s flea on the bass guitar. They didn’t have a bassist at the time.
That's sick! Didn't know that.
@@JuniioMusic He also played horns + Frusciante from RHCP played guitar on this album as well as future albums.
you should try and do l'via l'viaquez by them. it opens with a killer solo from John and is in spanish and english
Liked and subbed
Thanks man, welcome to the channel!
Billy Talent good
At Drive-in/Volta pioneer gods
Cicatriz please.
Sup bro love your reaction
Stratovarius - Father time
Thanks man, glad you're enjoying the videos. I'll add your suggestion to the list!
Lol Billy talent. Yeah billy talent wishes he sounded like this
DO THE WHOLE ALBUM!
