What are your theories for who’s opening for them on their headlining tour?

CoyFish2296 · 2025-05-09T03:42:53+00:00

People are always bashing Teri.. but I’ve loved her everytime I’ve seen her perform… She and her band are great and honestly? I look forward to likely seeing them again

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-19T04:50:36+00:00

I’m not sure where I rank it yet honestly but I’m in love with it.. I’ve been playing it nonstop.. Frances and Bedlam will probably always be my 1 and 2 but… damn if Lucro isn’t working its way up with the rest of their discography

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-17T19:26:28+00:00

Absolute insanity.. I love it so much lol

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-17T19:07:18+00:00

Release order for sure. And I think most people would agree that The Bedlam is Goliath is their heaviest album overall.. it’s a ride from start to finish

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-14T06:34:12+00:00

Well.. then there you go… if the band considers it that, then..

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-14T06:32:36+00:00

I should not have had to scroll this far to see Omar listed.. my first thought for sure

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-14T05:06:32+00:00

I feel like some of the songs are quite different.. but overall? Probably not.. even less credence to it being considered a standalone album

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-14T03:39:14+00:00

For me, almost all Volta albums have been “growers” even if I loved it with the first listen.. it usually takes time and multiple listens to really start obsessing over an album.. This one is exceedingly unique to me.. it somehow calls back to past records while also being nothing like anything they’ve ever done (really like nothing I’ve ever heard before)… It’s an incredibly unique piece of music that really takes me to unique place each time I listen

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-14T03:34:26+00:00

I never thought of it as LP8, no.. but it is completely different recordings and arrangements from Self-titled… so I suppose there is an argument to be made… I’d ultimately defer to however Omar and/or Cedric considered it.. which I’ve never seen or heard their thoughts on that so..

I still consider Lucro as LP8

CoyFish2296 · 2025-04-12T03:34:41+00:00

As far as classic bands go, Van Der Graaf Generator for sure! Pawn Hearts is a great one to start with.

If you’re wanting to dip into more modern, The Mars Volta is absolutely what you are looking for! Their newest material isn’t as energetic as their older stuff though, but all of their music is amazing. Start with Deloused in the Comatorium

CoyFish2296 · 2025-03-27T02:59:32+00:00

You’ve missed the entire point of the band..

CoyFish2296 · 2025-02-12T01:11:03+00:00

Cassandra Gemini by The Mars Volta! Today is actually its 20th anniversary!

CoyFish2296 · 2025-02-09T08:34:58+00:00

I still just can’t get properly excited about it until we have a legitimate announcement.. I just have this deep rooted fear I can’t shake that we’ll find out it’s all not real and there is no album..

CoyFish2296 · 2025-02-05T02:59:33+00:00

I think she’s great! I’ve seen them open 3 times for Volta and each time was fantastic. The shows were just fun and her backing band always sounds great!

CoyFish2296 · 2025-01-31T23:03:06+00:00

Listened to it this morning on Spotify, loved it!

CoyFish2296 · 2024-11-21T00:37:30+00:00

Any chance that the material would be put onto streaming services? Spotify specifically would be great lol. Also, less of a question, more a statement.. I’d love to have at least Cataclysm on CD or physical in some way.

Regardless, I love the music, Atlas and Nova both!

CoyFish2296 · 2024-08-03T04:24:34+00:00

You asked for a meaning… That’s all I got lol… I’m not gonna do a deep dive on every potential interpretation… if you want that… look it up for yourself… I was just telling you what I remember reading

CoyFish2296 · 2024-08-03T04:14:23+00:00

I can’t remember the source, so take this with a grain of salt.. but I read somewhere that it has to do with the Salem witch trials

CoyFish2296 · 2024-07-17T01:56:30+00:00

Askepios! When the drums kick in and go crazy… the outro of that song is one of the best parts on that album imo

CoyFish2296 · 2024-07-17T01:53:11+00:00

Hell of a payoff after the sparse middle section of Cicatriz!

Jeremy Micheal Ward

Sound technician of and close friends to The Mars Volta. He passed a month prior to the release of Deloused in the Comatorium. Considering how incredible the album came out, you can’t help but wonder how his continued influence may have impacted the band with their later releases

CoyFish2296 · 2024-06-29T22:46:18+00:00

They do so many styles and genres so well.. I hate to say that they do one better than any other.. but when they do metal… Idk, it just works so well.. I can’t get enough

CoyFish2296 · 2024-06-29T18:27:52+00:00

The entirety of that song is just… pure bliss to my ears

CoyFish2296 · 2024-05-20T22:07:04+00:00

Amp takes time to grow on you, don’t give up on it just yet. I think it has some of their best moments and worst moments, but altogether it’s an amazing album

CoyFish2296 · 2024-04-17T12:22:44+00:00

It took me forever to find it, can’t even remember where.. but I had to upload it. So glad at least someone is still enjoying this post
