The Mars Volta

Ive been listening to this band since they were formed from pieces of "At the Drive In"... and I just started listening to their new CD again today... just would like to know what people think of them.

Personally I think both of their CD's are brilliant... but the second is brilliant from an art standpoint. The musicianship is very good, as are the vocals... but the second album extends to the point of over doing it on the whole "art rock" thing. However, I do like it. A lot.

Anyone into The Mars Volta? It's fucking trippy shit if you havent heard them. Imagine making Led Zeppelin more modern, crossing them with Pink Floyd style progressivism and artsiness, and then add in some modern shredding.

They are, however, overrated. I like them, but they aren't the best thing ever. They aren't really listenable unless you have an hour to listen to the whole album.

I listen to them once and a while. I prefer their old cd to their new one by a little bit. Specifically, I like Televators.
So this baby seal walks into a club.

I listen to both albums. I too prefer the first one. I'm a huge at the drive in fan though.

They really aren't indie so much as they are progressive. They have really good musicianship and complex music. That's not very Indie. Also, you are gay, but I don't typecast you... why do it to them?
