TMALA is sort of a theatrical interlude to lull you into a trance whilst simultaneously breaking up the intensity of the two songs surrounding them. It seems very necessary to me.

i remember the day in 03 my mate handed me this album in music class, just like it was yesterday. I looked at the cover thinking, what the fuck it this?! I got home and poured it through my oldschool (bass heavy) Pioneer headphones. When that savage drum intro to Inertiatic ESP hit, my jaw also hit hit the floor, where it remains to this day..
First album blew me away. Me and my buddies were ATDI fans and rooting against each other as to which band would be better... Sparta or The Mars Volta. Both had great first albums. The Mars Volta won out. I was proud of being on the winning team at the time but damn if I couldn't even listen to the second album for Mars as there was just too much atmospheric shit... I just wanted the music and I hated all the other shit.
I remember the first time I saw them on MTV. It blew my mind. I was just 17 and I was into The Beatles, Pink Floyd an Led Zeppelin music because of my dad. Unfortunately, I never saw them live, just in an MTV Latin American Awards performance and that was it.
this song is richly emotional, distorted with pain and anguished lyrics. The music is incomparable and I the swell of emotions that rise up in my chest when i hear this song I have no words to describe that feeling.
at least, could be the most interesting of all "rock-radio-popular" bands. This was a blast in its prime, and I remember clearly another popular bands as Incubus trying to copy the same Mars Volta sounds and tempos... Just go listening Ligtht Grenades from Incubus and confirm it.
Stoned Jesus, Electric Lady, Samsara Blues Experiment, Steven Wilson, Death Grips, Run the Jewels, Kendrick Lamar, Deftones, Gojira, and Arctic Monkeys are bands with recent work that I like.
this is the future of rock sound: sound experimentation, unusual song structures, unusual note sequences, 100% energy and feeling and creating an intense atmosphere on stage.
Everyone went pop rock sounding after emo and other styles came and gone. Quite sad really. Hopefully people rediscover what this kind of music can do.
@@Helaw0lf Check out Greta Van Fleet if you haven’t. They just dropped a new album like a month ago and I love it. Young dudes makin some rock n roll, what’s not to like?
Those guys are underrated af. I don't really like the term "underrated" because people have different tastes, but they're one of the best rock bands from the 21st century. Like holy shit, I feel like if they happened in the 70's or 80's they would be popular like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin, even to this day. If you look at rock bands that gained popularity in this century, like Kings of Leon for example, they really don't have the kick that The Mars Volta does. Shame they weren't advertised more, they could have been the world's biggest rock band during the span of their career.
Maybe they would be big in the 60s or 70s because people were listening to elaborate music back then, but not today (or 10 years ago). The reason why they weren't advertised more is because the record label knows that no matter how good they are, people want to listen to 4-chord songs with a catchy chorus, easy lyrics and a good looking face topping the package. The Mars Volta instead made complex music, concept albums, complicated lyrics... TMV is the real deal but they're too much for the regular public who wants some Coldplay-like band (not saying they aren't good, their music is just plain simple) and the fact that they're not known as they should be kinda only proves that.
You owe so much to your dad. Better run and hug him real tight and whisper in his ear 'thank you dad' and when he asks 'for what', you tell him 'for making me in your balls and having the balls to teach me, everything worth anything, I love you.'
This is one of those bands I accidentally found at a big day out after watching someone else, maybe shihad, I had planned to go elsewhere but just couldn't leave, one of the greatest live shows I've seen
Uno de los pocos grupos que tomo en serio el genero de rock experimental e hizo algo espectacular, en aquel entonces les decian pretenciosos pero creo que solo estaban intimidados por su arte.
I love this band every time I hear them, but I don't just go through all of their songs. There's nothing like listening to one of these for the first time. I really appreciate the feeling of not knowing what's coming. So I save these songs. I delve once in awhile. Never disappointed
Wife and I had dinner at a new place the other night. Small. Hipster vibe. Decent food prepared by people who cared. Friendly staff. What put it over the top for me was that the music playing in the dining room was this album. I had neglected to remember the Mars Volta until that meal. But now I’m back.
I feel like everytime I listen to Mars Volta it's always new to me. Their music bundles up my whole life and makes me want to scream. This is as good as it gets.
Orly? you posted this a month ago so maybe ill have to go see them live again. Haven't seen them live since 2003. I remember I got into a car accident after that show.
Every drummer that The Mars Volta has came across of have all been very talented and very good at using speed as an advantage to the song. All of them have been good.
I first saw this video on a late night public access Music Show.. I was instantly attracted to the energy and power of the song. I became obsessed with Mars Volta and their music🎵🥁🎶
10 years ago today this album was released ... it is an important day to me. This album really changed the way I see, understand and experience music, art and life in general. thank you The Mars Volta.
I remember being at work.. A small company called....Keyport.. A benefits Company in Lincoln, RI... Some kid... younger than me, no idea who he was, or why.... but for some reason handed me a CD... a burned CD from a band called ... Mars Volta... I was like, OK... I listened to it... it was unreal. amazing.... life changing... Ear Drum Changing.... loved them ever since...the most unique and passionate driven music I have ever heard....Have grabbed and loved everything since then... Thanks to whomever that was....Maybe you will see this and respond.....
Seeing them live changed me in such a way words can’t express it properly same as listening to this album through my 2nd time on 1ups. Literally in the dark eyes closed with my studio ear phones on. The paintings this art made in my crazy ass open musical adhd mind is even harder to put into Words. As a guitarist always just in aweeeee of my Mexican brother from Another mother. Easily top5 of our generation. Man and that live show in a small intimate venue w kickass openers as well w my best friends matching energy with their convulsing dance movements. I Remember Cedric had some brand. We chucks on classic black and white and the stage was like a rubber flat black well let’s just say that floor had hella white semicircles and just laser white Tags. I have a picture of that stage afterwards..forgot about that gota find that gem. Puro raza
As much as I love rap (because I'm a 15 year old girl, I grew up on it), these guys are amazing. I'm glad my parents made me listen to these guys as a kid. My friends would disagree but being a drummer since age 2, I can really appreciate this.
This song(and really, the whole album) almost makes me tear up, I have such memories listening to it. It’s so good. Long live the Mars Volta. This band changed my life.
It brings tears to my eyes. Such strong nostalgia. Listening to this album on repeat the summer we graduated from high school. One long, drug-fueled summer filled with both euphoria and despair. The highest of highs and lowest of lows. This was the soundtrack.
that mix is incredible. the drums and keys separate perfectly. You think one might dominate the other, then you realize they both have their own perfect sonic spaces
I don't care what my boss or anyone says. Mars Volta is one of the most gifted bands to ever grace a stage! From the Drums to Bass to Keyboard to Guitar AND MAN THAT VOICE!!
My mate played me The Widow on the way to festiva, in New Zealand, where Mars Volta were playing. It's like I stepped into something I wasn't ready for. But hearing them live blew me away and I still live those memories today every time I listen to a track
I wish someone would make an animated movie utilizing the lyrics and imagery. Would be a soul bending tripout for sure. But then Televators would bring in all of the feels together, and then it all explodes and ends beautifully with Take The Veil. A dreamlike animation based off of this dream material would be amazing.
Yeah at first i thought it was pretty dark... (although i still think the same lol) also the background story of the "Frances the Mute" album but still that doesn't matter, what matters is that they hold a special place on my heart although i only get to know their band until 15 years since the release of this masterpiece of album.
btw the background story has nothing to do with an HIV infected prostitute, that just happens to be one of the worst and most popular fan theories I've seen.
I discovered TMV when they were headlining for a System of a Down concert I went to in ‘05. Here I am in 2021 still amazed at their entire catalogue. Each album has a different vibe. But holy shit are they amazing! I hope they get back together and release some more material.
I love the energy of this band....great sound... I am quarantined in Lima, Peru surviving the 2nd wave of the covid19 pandemic. (feb,2021).. with this music I am sure I will live to see another day. Have a nice life!
god i still remember when this first came out. i was still prob salty about ATDI disbanding but seeing flea at the beginning fade into jeremy then to omar i knew everything would be fine. reminded me a little of the one armed scissor video. but that turned out to be more of a farewell while this was a rebirth. i miss being excited about a band. also that studio shot of the guys always gave me chills 0:41
HELLUVA track to start an insanely f*cking pleasurable album to listen to, what an exoerience the first thousand times I listened to yhe entire thing and now revisiting it about 8 years later the magic is still there.
Now I'm lost Last night I heard lepers Flinch like birth defects It's musk was fecal in origin As the words dribbled off of its chin It said I'm lost I'm lost Now I'm lost Dolls wreck the minced meat of pupils Cast in oblong arms length The hooks have been picking their scabs Where wolves hide in the company of men It said I'm lost I'm lost Now I'm lost Are you peaking in the red Perforated at the neck What of this mongrel architect A broken arm of sewers set Past present and future tense Clipside of the pinkeye fountain Now I'm lost It's been said Long time ago You'll be the first and last to know You'll never know
2024 still here🔥
I’m a 55 year old black women who has been into the Mara Volta since 05/06. I just introduced them to my 26 year old son..
all power to you

Good for you, great band.
Imagine being 14 in 2003 and you hear this shit for the first time after only listening to hip hop and metal lol. Blew my fucking mind.

Exact same experience. Truly amazing band
I first heard them in a local disc shop! I stayed like two hours listening to the album. Good memories

Just discovered these guys. Drumming is sensational, singer can really belt. Awesome sound
At the Drive-in - Sparta = The Mars Volta. All good bands.
you'll probably also like closure in moscow
Jon Theodore on the drums. One of the best around. Cedrics voice is awesome when under control - i.e. in the studio.

They are underrated yes. They are genius of music, does not matter the taste of each one to do this evaluation.
Well they couldn't have existed back then because most of their non-prog influences didn't exist yet (post-hardcore mostly)
Happy 20 year anniversary to this legendary album
my dad played this in the car all the time when I was about 7-8 and it's been stuck in my head ever since then (i'm 18 now)

Cada vez que vuelvo a escucharla me resulta sorprendente! Como se destaca cada instrumento por separado, esos gritos... 😍🙌💖✨ 2022
god i still remember when this first came out. i was still prob salty about ATDI disbanding but seeing flea at the beginning fade into jeremy then to omar i knew everything would be fine. reminded me a little of the one armed scissor video. but that turned out to be more of a farewell while this was a rebirth. i miss being excited about a band. also that studio shot of the guys always gave me chills 0:41
Classic. Takes me right back to my teen years….. so good 💕
2023 still bangin like it was 2004
This album is one of the greatest albums of all time. Any genre

Bravo
The *hooks* have been picking their scabs
Im 28 now, first heard this when I was 17, still love it!
una explosión de adrenalina llena de feeling, misterio todo con un extraño encanto que te envuelve y sacude desde dentro. A GREAT SONG
My face has been shredded for 10 years since this was released…
HELLUVA track to start an insanely f*cking pleasurable album to listen to, what an exoerience the first thousand times I listened to yhe entire thing and now revisiting it about 8 years later the magic is still there.
Now I'm lost
Last night I heard lepers
Flinch like birth defects
It's musk was fecal in origin
As the words dribbled off of its chin
It said I'm lost
I'm lost
Now I'm lost
Dolls wreck the minced meat of pupils
Cast in oblong arms length
The hooks have been picking their scabs
Where wolves hide in the company of men
It said
I'm lost
I'm lost
Now I'm lost
Are you peaking in the red
Perforated at the neck
What of this mongrel architect
A broken arm of sewers set
Past present and future tense
Clipside of the pinkeye fountain
Now I'm lost
It's been said
Long time ago
You'll be the first and last to know
You'll never know
