: : Anybody have The Mars Volta record?It's the greatest album to come out in the past 5 or so years(just my opinion).
: I love the album(though I wouldn't consider it the greatest) did you know it's a concept album based on the suicide of one of thier friends? Also check out Sparta, and At the drive in if you haven't already.
:Of all those bands I think the Mars Volta record stands out.It's definitely due to repeated listening.Knowing what it was written about also helps to get you on the same groove as the band.
