Haha, thanks for the reaction man! The thing I always love about this channel is your honesty, and you delivered yet again! The first time I tried listening to this song, I gave up about halfway. I had a headache, and I just wasn't feeling it. But when you have context, you learn that every thing you feel is exactly how they want you to feel. When I figured this out, it blew my mind, and this song has been one of my favorites. That being said, it took me about 30 listens to get there 🤣 To give some context, Frances the Mute is VERY story driven. It follows a character on their search to find who murdered his mother (Frances the Mute), and his descent into madness. This song ends out the album, and I've always seen it as a revenge story. They don't just use the lyrics to tell the story, but every single part of the song tells the story. From the instruments, to the time signatures, to the weird jam session things they do. Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus was a reaction you did a few years back, and it actually started how this album ends, which I always thought was amazing. Long story short, the whole album is supposed to be listened to from start to finish. This was their most experimental album, with their longest, and probably most experimental song they've made. On this song, each part was actually recorded separately, and then were all mixed together at the end, so none of them knew how it was going to sound in the end. When they came to the producers with a 32 minute song, they said "hell no", which is why it was split into multiple different songs on the album. Thanks for the reaction! Thinking back, there are probably a lot of other songs by them that you would enjoy like 'Day of the Baphomets', 'Take the Veil', 'Inertiatic ESP', and possibly 'Wax Simulacra'.
I actually recently subbed because you are like the only person that reviewed any frusciante. Sadly the newest upload to that playlist is over a year old. But it's crazy that yesterday I subbed for that reason. And then today you listen to a song he is on.
yeah i was requesting many rhcp and frusciante reactions from david... thing is, he stacks so many requests up, anything u ask for might not get watched for a year or longer lol.... john frusciante needs a regular 3 times a month listen i feeel :D
Check out this letter Frusciante wrote to Jimmy Page. He was inspired and tried to get him to join him and Omar from Volta soloing simultaneously. That would have been something. 😂
Just some info. John Frusciante was brought in during the recording of Francis the Mute and Omar and he took turns playing lead guitar on quite a few of the tracks.
This album was definitely their most expiremental, out there album. Some of their albums after this were much more structured. I personally love this album, but i think whoever picked this for you was just trying to torture you. Lol.
It’s difficult to review The Mars Volta songs individually. Their albums have to be reviewed as a whole because a lot of the time their songs flow into each other. So, you’ll end up with a song starting off at a point that you’re not expecting it to unless you’ve heard the song leading up to it. Some songs will end in a way to lead into the next song, so they won’t end in a way that you’re expecting them to. They won’t fully resolve because they’re moving into the next song. Their albums are more like one very long song with a ton of different parts. So, reviewing their songs individually is like trying to jump into a movie midway through.
Band-Maid fan here. This is one of my all time favourite songs. They do go on too long when they have their slowdowns; that's been a complaint of mine since their first album. I understand wanting to create atmosphere and mood, and I also understand that you need to have the lulls to make the build ups feel more important; but I think they took it too far most of the time.
Seems creatively unhinged to me. I'm glad you were able to chase the groove, patterns, and occasional highlights, and stay stimulated the first half. This song has way too many things here I dislike too. Yet, I know they have much better songs, since I've heard them through this channel.
I can’t figure out what ingredients and what order was fallowed to make this gumbo therefore I can’t enjoy it. It’s like watching The Jerk and watching Navin try to keep the beat.
It's good for what it is but what it is is way to long and I'm going to be completely honest I zoned out around the halfway point and I will not listen to this again
The halfway point is where this song really just falls into a jam session, so I get it. This is there mos prog/ experimental album. If you want one of their more chill albums, listen to Octahedron, or their self-titled. If you want a more rock album, listen to Deloused in the Comatorium, or Amputecture. If you want an aneurysm-inducing album where everything is overly done, listen to Bedlam in Goliath (I love that album), and if you want more electronic sounding stuff, listen to noctourniquet.

This song is a masterpiece, 9/10 for me. would love to see you reacting to tetragrammaton 15 minutes of pure joy.
Yesssssss! Christmas came early. This ain't an easy song to listen to but thanks. It's one of my favorite ever

He did These Are The Ways a few months ago, sometimes the new RHCP or John songs don’t make it to the playlist

Love this song!
What 😮 you did the Cassandra Gemini reaction 😳🤯
Just some info. John Frusciante was brought in during the recording of Francis the Mute and Omar and he took turns playing lead guitar on quite a few of the tracks.
I believe Flea also had some involvement too.
I think The Widow is probably their best song. But I haven’t heard a lot of their stuff.
😭😭😭
@@sstaners1234 it's probably their most commercial song, but not even close to their best.
This album was definitely their most expiremental, out there album. Some of their albums after this were much more structured. I personally love this album, but i think whoever picked this for you was just trying to torture you. Lol.
i disagree. it was definitely the bedlam in goliath 😅 which is my favorite but i love every album
NICE watching nowwwww

these comments are awful!!!! 😭😭😭
You're trying so hard to stay awake lmao bless you
It was NOT easy....

HAHAHAHA every rose has its thorn 💀
The ending reminded me of "Maggot Brain" by Parliament Funkadelic.
frusciante also basically covered that song on the empyrean
the keyboard, i will say, gets very obnoxious in their older stuff. Im used to it but it is off putting sometimes
I can’t figure out what ingredients and what order was fallowed to make this gumbo therefore I can’t enjoy it. It’s like watching The Jerk and watching Navin try to keep the beat.
I saw them live twice, both shows they were the first act of RHCP and it was hard to watch them, problably the worst show I ever saw. Not my type
It’s funny because I’ve seen them almost 10 times since 2002 and they have put on some of the best live performances I’ve ever seen.
david good reaction, I'm still for dream theater❤
Almost an hour of dribble?? I feel for you on this one 🤣
It's good for what it is but what it is is way to long and I'm going to be completely honest I zoned out around the halfway point and I will not listen to this again
Prog is not for everyone
@Petros_Flames I would listen to this again if it wasn't 32 minutes long
The halfway point is where this song really just falls into a jam session, so I get it. This is there mos prog/ experimental album. If you want one of their more chill albums, listen to Octahedron, or their self-titled. If you want a more rock album, listen to Deloused in the Comatorium, or Amputecture. If you want an aneurysm-inducing album where everything is overly done, listen to Bedlam in Goliath (I love that album), and if you want more electronic sounding stuff, listen to noctourniquet.
@@OnlyspacemanVery accurate although i would say amputechture is also quite experimental in a similiar way as this
@@dv1860 I would agree with that. It also starts to tap into what Bedlam in Goliath would be, so I guess its more of a wildcard lol
Listening to this has definitely put me off spending money on any of their material. Not a good listen.
If you don't listen to inertiatic esp then you're missing out.
Listen to Deloused in the Comatorium, it is waaay leas experimental 👍
wow lmao wtf
I believe you showed great restraint here. I am not hating on the band but it was really hard to listen to all of it.
