![เหนื่อยหน่อยนะ (SOMEONE LIKE ME) - GEMINI Prod. by URBOYTJ [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M55XjfhbrNw/mqdefault.jpg)
Eriatarka was the first song I heard from TMV, downloaded it from Kazaa. I was 16 at the time. After hearing it, drove as fast as I could to Best Buy and bought this album and listened to it all night on my discman. Changed my life, what a band.
Eriatarka was it for me too! I could not believe what I was listening too. Unheard of!
I've still never heard a chorus so hauntingly epic.
Drunkenship of Lanterns was the first song I ever heard from The Mars Volta because I heard that Flea played bass on the track. Was an instant fan.
RHCP was also the lubricant that helped me to discover and appreciate these guys. I hardly ever go back and listen to RHCP unless it's on the radio or something. TMV, on the other hand, is right up there with Tool for me, which is practically daily listening status
He played bass on the whole album.
@@RustinChole yup.
I love how high the bass is in the mix. Rick Rubin is genius
This is simply one of the best debut albums ever. It's interesting that the songs have actually rather simple, almost pop-like structures, but they are dressed in *so much riff* and rhythmic patterns. :D Not to mention Cedric's eccentric lyricism.
Have to agree 200%
Yeah, it's a sneaky way to get people to listen to your prog rock without them realizing it. So many moments on this record that are so damn catchy mixed in with the rabid fever dream that is the rest of the music.
Lol me and my friends back in the day would always refer to the ambience and non-music as 'wank'. I still think it fits really well
If you like the accesable parts of TMV you should check out Cedirc and Omar's band called Antemasque. Here's a live set of theirs with Travis Barker from Blink 182 on drums: th-cam.com/video/MfT3VkfQnwg/w-d-xo.html
I've always admired the guitar playing of Omar. How it sounds like it's all over the place, completely random fast notes, but he definitely knows what he's doing. He's without a faintest shadow of doubt a Guthrie Govan league player.
Facts
The Mars Volta's ability to paint a picture with sound is amazing. I've never heard a band where my mind starts conjuring up dreamlike landscapes just from the instrumental portions of their songs.
Not to further overwhelm you. Don't forget Omar has dozens, with a "s", solo albums. Enjoy the ride.
Controlled chaos.. Brilliant album.. Sounds better after a few listens.. 👍
The very definition of a grower album
Happy Birthday Jim! You're looking younger every year, must be all that prog and vinyl somehow!
I wish!
HB I’m glad you discovered them, imo along with tool, the Mars Volta picked up the torch from Pink Floyd and zeppelin
That chaos in the high end as you said was most definitely a creative choice. It makes it take multiple listens to find new little things each time and I love that about them. This music doesn't ever get boring to me 20 years later
I agree Jim, it is amazing
Remember kids, "Rust propellers await"
As I'm sure others will tell you Omar was quoted as saying they wanted the Volta to be 'A needle in the ear of the common man'
Happy Birthday Jim! 🥳
Thank you 😁👍🏼
Glad to see I'm not the only one who gyrates uncontrollably while TMV is playing! Let the music speak through you, bro! Lol
Happy birthday, Jim!
This is astonishingly good music. Didn't notice the upper range overwash, but know what you mean, in my inability to listen to Rush, band or bloviator. To me, upon first exposure, it was as if Bjork had joined up with a sort of psychedelic Return to Forever/Van der Graaf Generator/Frank Zappa hybrid, and they were as in a cave, grooving with a Pict and a few plectra. There's grooviness in them grooves.
Great album. Have you made a full listen through for Frances the Mute?
Not yet :)
Frances The Mute is when they descended into being a jam band. Still a good album
@@Cuzjudd i would argue they fully ascended into a prog band with FTM
Every section on the record has a distinct feel, but it manages to be cohesive. Televators and Cicatriz ESP are coming up and both are killers and both have unique feels too. The record really takes multiple listens to really get into.
I noticed the same thing on the lack of bottom end. Though i have like a ten band eq app and end up making small adjustments on pretty much any device i own to get rid of those harsh sounds. I never have a problem with the fatigue.
When listening to this album and the background behind. It really is a journey from living to the afterlife. One of my favorite albums. Thanks for sharing live well.
Happy birthday 🎂🎊🎈
Happy Birthday Jim!
Thank you!
Your reaction at 11:20 is exactly how I feel about this song everytime I listen to it. 🤣
Late happy birthday. As for me, my friends are dead ass tonight and didn't want to listen to music, so it's you and me and a pint, bud. Good company.
Cheers 🍻
The three first albums are very high end focused and I agree with you that it’s exhausting to listen to. There is way more basse sounds and low end from the 4th album and so on.
I love the Contrast of the Congo's 6:44
I am thoroughly enjoying your listening session of this one. Cannot believe it has been almost 20 years since I heard this album for the first time. It is still a very strong album compared to many others in the genre (if one considers them to be prog, that is.)
And happy belated birthday, my friend
Thank you!!!!
Bought this on cd when released and still the only The Mars Volta album i've heard. Think it was a bit too erratic and 'out there' for my liking back in the day. Shall dig it out and pay it a bit more attention 😁
If you thought this was a bit too much I would highly recommend their last 2 albums 'Octahedron' and 'Noctourniquet'. Much more streamlined music and not as much chaos, while at the same time still being distinctly The Mars Volta. For the last album especially.
Two highlights from this album.
I get your points Jim but I'd suggest in this case..... all your fave bands are immediately identifiable for their unique perhaps focussed or refined sound with a note or two....my fave recent bands at mo Id always recognise with just a bar or tiny snippet....Opeth, Sparks, KGATLW, Cult of Luna.....I'm not sure yet I'd be able to do that with TMV as it's so craaaaaaaaaazy.....in good way.🧐🤘I might accidentally say DT or Muse or even Spock's Beard or Devin Townsend....as they exist in same ballpark for me sonically....but who cares if it works....I'd agree they might be ott.....but who else is doing that I wonder?🧐
Also have a good listen to "The Bedlam In Goliath" album. Its bril, a bit different but very much TMV
God I hope you do Amputechture, kinda underrated but it's their best album by miles imo
I will…. Not today, not tomorrow, but sometime!
It's my favourite Mars Volta album as well. Meccamputechture is up there with my favourite songs of all time!
I always wondered if the squashed frequency spectrum on the record was a mastering-stage decision to make all of the instruments "fit" audibly even on cruddy speakers where there would be loss of the low and high ends (e.g. car stereos, old iPod earbuds and the like), but their other albums don't sound as much like that so I'm really not sure (though Bedlam in Goliath is probably the most similar EQ-wise). I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the studio when they mixed/mastered everything; that would have been unbelievably educational to me!
Are you a producer or musician?
@@JimNewstead I used to be a jazz/prog rock kind of pianist/keyboardist in my teen years, though life kind of took me in a different direction and I'm now over a decade out of practice with actually playing. I've been passionate about audio engineering since I was a teen, but I'm only an amateur. My partner makes her own independent music and I give feedback with mixing/mastering stuff occasionally, but otherwise I just pick up what I can from educational sources online and lots of listening!
@@CloseToTheEdge83 it’s amazing how many actual musicians and pros there are that watch my vids!!!
Calling it chaotic is actually not wrong! Calling it random however, would be. Chaos is something seemingly random in nature but is mostly planned and happens almost as it probably should, so you are far from wrong when using the word!
🤘
I don't agree with you saying there's not enough bass. The bass is super high up in the mixing of the record. It is a very jazzy sort of bass tone with lots of treble in there so I get what you're saying. And the kick drum isn't very distinctive
Oh, you misunderstand - I don't mean there's not enough bass guitar - I mean there's not enough bottom end - it's been EQ'd out!
@@JimNewstead yeah I do agree there should be a bit more bottom end
Oh in this one he sounds a bit like Jeff Buckley....then Bjork😅🤯
Steven Wilson remix?
I think it's Jim Ward playing bass. He is quite phenomenal. He's the At The Drive In bassist
@@K4neki_CNTP oh yeah well Flea is iconic
Jim Ward played guitar in At the Drive-In and has never been in The Mars Volta. Flea plays bass on De-Loused in the Comatorium.
Take a break from MVs ott and get to the flowery delights of some Nektar when you are back Jim🌻🌸🐝....
Another try.
First song. Still don’t like his voice. I miss structure. And the distorted very loud sounds are too much for me.
No, not for me.
