The Mars Volta-Frances The Mute





I saw this band like four years ago at continental airlines arena with a bunch of friends, and it was fucking awesome. They would jam for hours, they technically only played two songs. The crazy lights and vocal effects were really sweet too, especially when you've been smoking blunts the entire time. They even had a twenty minute long bongo part played by some dude in the crowd they had met earlier. The guitarist from the Red hot chili peppers and a few other musicians played with them. Overall it was a fucking awesome experience and it you have the oppurtunity to see this band live, you would be a fool to miss out.

This particular album is (IMO) their most spacey, ambient and weird one. Lots of noise, lots of creepy sounds and electronic noises, etc.. The ambient-ness of it all gives this album a unique feel from their other releases, the actual music is the typical rocking,weird Mars volta style that this band is now becoming known for. I guess it's a proggresive rock type sound but it's really unique and different from, anything on this blog, and most styles of music in general. It's definitely a pleasure to listen to this album.
