I just admire how this track is mixed. I don't know how they did it but if you really focus and listen deeper it's just mindblowing how many things are going on at once.

when I bought this album my friends and I immediately put it in a stereo, the first track had a super low volume so we pumped it up... when this song LITERALLY EXPLODED, we shat our pants! well played, Mars Volta!
I went to tower records and bought this album the day it came out. Being the huge tool fan I am, I saw them open for a perfect circle and fell in love. I got home after my purchase, smoked a j and listened to this behemoth. To start off with this and end with Cassandra Gemini wtf?!? The journey I experienced that day i will never forget
i listened to this whole album all the way through today.....so mindblowing the middle section is in 29/16 time for all the fellow musicians on this page
No one makes music like The Mars Volta. No band right now can create this original of a song, put out 6 albums that are in genres of their own, and move me so much with their music. Top notch musicians and I laugh at the people who pan this band's genius.

I figure you mean to say that they have a more extroverted attitude overall, but stating that those 3 Prog Giants have NO balls, meaning they "take no risks", is way too incorrect and irrational, they simply have different styles and that's all.
This song builds up slowly, perfectly and so epically and climaxes at 7:38 with Cedric's greatest singing EVER with a series of the most angelic high-notes in the history of mankind (7:48! to end). The smoothness of composition and production, singing, and overall sound of Deloused and Francis era is the crowning glory of the mars volta imho. I love all their music, their lyrical content and music is always fresh and amazing but this epic sound smooth quality I miss a lot. Love this song
Not in a million years. Jon's grooves were perfect for the band. Deantoni and Pridgen are great drummers but they couldn't fill the gap. After Amputechture it was all downhill.
I'll never forget the first time I listened to this song. What. The. Fuck. Feel like there's some Santana Jingo in there. When I think of best TMV tracks, this is always top-of-the-mind.
Just found these guys.....yes it is similar to yes genesis gentle giant ozric tentacles king crimson and so on...I love prog shit and these guys got it
@JUSTIN030783 Well, this was uploaded in '09. After '06 or '07 people couldn't say they were a director anymore, which meant you have to be granted special privileges to upload videos longer than 10 minutes. Cygnus is a 12 and half minute track, and the last few minutes are synth and ambiance. A lot of tracks on Frances the Mute are like that, like The Widow.
I've scoured every HMV i know for this album; the one Mars Volta album i don't have, and NONE of them sell this one :/ But it seems like an amazing album. And yes i'm aware of downloads but i want the actual CD. xD
Thomas Pridgen is my favorite drummer, but Jon Theodore made the best mars volta albums, not pridgen. Deloused and Frances were absolute musical monsters on their own. Bedlam had the sickest drumming, but I hated the songs themselves. that's just my opinion though.
I just hated the drumming... Nah. But that gospel chops drumming is very impressive and all but I'm just not getting the feel of it. Also the sound in general, guitar sound mainly, started to get too "metal" at that point.
I remember seeing them on tour for Frances at the Santa Barbara Bowl and there was freaking steam coming off of Theodore. Made him look like he was on fire :D One of the most amazing concerts I’ve ever been to.
This track still leaves me breathless 9 years after discovering it.
Now 10 years
now 12 years thats almost as old as me
14 or 15 years for me, I lost my fucking mind the first time I heard this.
🤩
I just admire how this track is mixed. I don't know how they did it but if you really focus and listen deeper it's just mindblowing how many things are going on at once.
Michał Umiński Frances the Mute is truly a progressive rock CLASSIC. I would argue the best progressive rock album of last 30 years.
I agree
Listen to it on shrooms and you will understand ;)

Im happy you put the effort into figuring that out, I applaud you 👏👏👏
@@ianh1504 I'm happy that There are bands like The Mars Volta that I feel like is worth my effort.
:v
great work! Some of these time signatures I've been trying to figure out for years
To me, it looks right. This song is insane!
Agree. I've never heard music like this before. No one touches this band. No one.
Frances the Mute is one of the best rock albums of this era
when I bought this album my friends and I immediately put it in a stereo, the first track had a super low volume so we pumped it up... when this song LITERALLY EXPLODED, we shat our pants! well played, Mars Volta!
Goryllo hahaha, same exact experience :D

devin prieur cant play a lick, sounds easy when they do it.
Time signatures are arbitrary, you can count it however you feel. You could count the majority of this song in 13.2/8 if you want
@@IDontReadReplies42069 i guess theyre arbitrary if you dont care if it sounds the same? Kinda seems like they really arent.
I pelvic thrust to this in the hallways.
No one makes music like The Mars Volta. No band right now can create this original of a song, put out 6 albums that are in genres of their own, and move me so much with their music. Top notch musicians and I laugh at the people who pan this band's genius.
To all the dislikers: i come to your house and fart in your kitchen
probly smell better tbh
The dislikers are probably disliking the video cuz of ads
It's kinda scummy to make money of just a cut version of a band's song isn't it?
Blood screaming with rage, I am born
This is their masterpiece. Batshit and yet coherent
Listen to it on shrooms and you will understand ;)
@@randomrachael420 I listened to it on acid and it scared me lol
Go listen to the 25 min of Cassandra Gemini, I think that is their magnum opus
The solo in this song is quite honestly Hendrix worthy.
At 1:14?
nice to take a trip down memory lane
Phenominal song, i love getting lost in this shit
The ocean floor is hidden
From your viewing lens
A depth perception
Languished in the night
All my life,I've been
Sowing the wounds
But the seeds sprout
A lachrymal cloud
Nino preparate
Que vas sufrir
Nino preparate
Salte veneno
Nino preparate
Salte de aqui
Nino preparate
Labios temblando
Nino preparate
Salte veneno
Nino preparate
Salte de aqui
Nino preparate
Brincan los cuerpos
Vas a sufrir
My nails peel back
When the taxidermist ruined
Goose stepped the freckling impatience
All the brittle tombs
Five hundred little q's
I'm splitting hairs to
Match the faces
All night I'll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia naci
Now this train don't lie
An abortion that survived
A lineage of
Bastard mastacation
All the severed proof
Talons scratch my suite
These are the feathers
That replace them
All night I'll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia naci
Who do you trust
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb
I found the remnants
Of a crescent fang
It cleaned my wing
Down to the bone
Umbilical syllables
Left to decode
There was no cradle
I can taste it
Come on now
All night I'll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia naci
Who do you trust
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb
Bring me this plague
She took a drink
Those nicotine stains
On his every word
My scavenger quilt
Will only hide the truth
Bring me
Bring me this plague
I count the days to find
What was left behind
Only these names I clutch
Will lead me to my home
Somehow this river marks
A wrinkle hand in mine
And everyday that parts
The water into two
Mothers and feathers start
To drown the living proof
I can't remember these lakes of blood
Wrapped in a blanket
There sweats a cut
Who do you trust
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb
This is truly unique progressive rock in the style of Gentle Giant, Genesis, and King Crimson, but with balls.
Hermoso
I figure you mean to say that they have a more extroverted attitude overall, but stating that those 3 Prog Giants have NO balls, meaning they "take no risks", is way too incorrect and irrational, they simply have different styles and that's all.
Cedric is one hell of a poet.
This song builds up slowly, perfectly and so epically and climaxes at 7:38 with Cedric's greatest singing EVER with a series of the most angelic high-notes in the history of mankind (7:48! to end). The smoothness of composition and production, singing, and overall sound of Deloused and Francis era is the crowning glory of the mars volta imho. I love all their music, their lyrical content and music is always fresh and amazing but this epic sound smooth quality I miss a lot. Love this song
Me too, even to this day :)
4:15 is all you need
I agree Karl Marx
but Karl Marx, what about the rest of the song????
i dont understand why frances the mute(the song) isnt on the album before this song. its such an amazing song.
I cry when i listen to this album. For millions of reasons, but i always cry.
I heard it twice in the same dream clear as day!!!!
I turned the volume up at the start coz I thought it was a quiet song. Then BAM! FUCKING AWESOME!
Love that chill outro. Epic tune
I was skepticall until THAT FUCKING DROP
Not in a million years. Jon's grooves were perfect for the band. Deantoni and Pridgen are great drummers but they couldn't fill the gap. After Amputechture it was all downhill.
True that bro !! ...correct !!
This song is so great on so many levels.... and the VERY last song on this album ties directly to this song, I love it!
4.19min is epic!!!
El inicio de mi album favorito
best drug ever.
In my opinion the first 3 albums are unreal!!
Bring me !! BRING ME THIS PLAGE !!!
Man, fuck easy listening; this is the music I want to listen to while I work.
8:48 the greatest riff in the history of music
Shouldn't have edited the 'field recording' bits off, but, still, what a fucking track...
i didnt just to understand english and i still love this songs now that i do shitttt i cant stop listening to them i luv tmv
Yea man! Spot on! Early "The Mars Volta" is the best music I've ever heard.
I know what your talking about !!!! My favorite of all times I can jam to this all day !!!
best solo part i've ever heard in a song....
Este es el sonido de la música de marte....
The lyrics are just pure excellence. The Widow got me so emotional.
the sickest song i've ever heard!!!
I'll never forget the first time I listened to this song. What. The. Fuck. Feel like there's some Santana Jingo in there. When I think of best TMV tracks, this is always top-of-the-mind.
Just found these guys.....yes it is similar to yes genesis gentle giant ozric tentacles king crimson and so on...I love prog shit and these guys got it
3:21 is absolutely fucking amazing
obra maestra!
@DandelionVolta One of the best albums ever made indeed and the best concept album I've ever heard

I feel sorry for all the many people who moved on from this song before they got to 0:47
This is perfection.
Well I cant remember these lakes of blood , Wrapped in a blanket with sweat to cut..AAAHHHH yeeeaaahhhhhh
*there sweats a cut

WILL THEY FEED THE WOMB
CHROME THE FETAL MIRAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEE
fee the womb actually... but ask volta for lyrics to clear their oblivious minds.
Come on now
All night..I'll hunt for you
Will they feed us the womb/
Chrome the fetal mirage
ALL ABOUT 3:20
I agree with you so much.
Post-Hardcore my friend
Thomas Pridgen is my favorite drummer, but Jon Theodore made the best mars volta albums, not pridgen. Deloused and Frances were absolute musical monsters on their own.
Bedlam had the sickest drumming, but I hated the songs themselves.
that's just my opinion though.
ouroboros and cavalettas are awesome in my opinion.
I just hated the drumming... Nah. But that gospel chops drumming is very impressive and all but I'm just not getting the feel of it. Also the sound in general, guitar sound mainly, started to get too "metal" at that point.
I remember seeing them on tour for Frances at the Santa Barbara Bowl and there was freaking steam coming off of Theodore. Made him look like he was on fire :D
One of the most amazing concerts I’ve ever been to.
DAMN,SO GOOD!!
3;20 is EPIC!
Best song evah
@gr8tr1522 Yeah, definitely go with De-loused in the Comatorium. They're debut album and best yet.
fuk yeaH lovin tmv they the shit on da reals best alternative music i ever heard offf
masterpiece
8:43. There's nothing quite like Jon Theodore ripping the drums
dem boys are gatdamn jaynius, bo
cool
They didn't get rid of him, he left because he basically said the band had run it's course.
3:20 noooooooooooooia
What the fuck? How come i've never heard of these guys before?
i found this from roblox and listened to all there songs, i love this band but my dad apparently listens to this too :/
good! you can use this band as a way to bond with him! its alright to hold appreciation for your parents.
WILL THEY FEED US THE WOOOOMB?!?!?!?!?!!?!?
EPIC!!!!!!
Jon Theodore is the fucking god!
Who do you trust?
I have to this this stuff
thanks for the heads up, i get the names mixed up for some odd reason XD
@imjustkidding24 Didn't they end up not having enough space on the album for Frances The Mute?
such an epic fucking song
Absolute zonkers
@piratejames11 I assume because it would have been too much to fit on one disc, but I still listen to it first regardless.
Bullfisted membrane enduring caveats in euphoric adiaphanes....
Why would they leave? The intro is awesome.
Who do you truuuuuuuuuuust?
@cognitive951 They're great! Really REALLY great! The question is, what album do i get next?
all of it is.
Will they feed us the womb!!!
@jevimetal13 the real question is not how did they do that, but how the hell they concieve that part in their mind....
Now imagine this but all the artists were to keep secret their individual parts and had to play only to a metronome. That's how this record was made.
I feel bad for you.
Hey men i hyper stend my arm Yeh im feel bad to
hit me with your car. im candy.... added junt
@juggernaut725 WILL THEY FEED US THE WOMB?
@G8tr1522 dude!!! no joke seriously listen to all Mars Volta material, fucking amazing you will love it i promise!!!
A cacophany of sycophantic phantoms unweave the miasma....
29/16 for the 4:19?
If anyone knows a guitarist who shreds like this, I wanna know?
Stephen Brown dave navarro on jabes addiction. Take ted just admit and ocean size as examples :D
