Goliat must be the best dance track i'we ever had, im just about rocking this chair enough to fall of or break its legs.

Nothing wrong with dance music, as long as its this kind of dance music.

Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

I'm trying to figure out how exactly I would dance to the song Galiath

That being said, Ive always felt in my mind that if Deloused was a anxious older brother with the world at his finger tips, and plenty to tell the world, than bedlam is a much younger brother waving his arms shouting loud noises trying desperately for attention.... obnoxious anyone? Don't get me wrong, I found some amazing moments in the album that really speak to me as a TMV fan, but as an album I just couldn't swallow it no matter how I tried.

I keep hearing great things about Noctourniquet, but after Octahedron I'm a little uninspired. Maybe some day :)

this is a brutal album, so much so that it wears me out... and I have been known to listen to death/black metal albums for 8hrs at a time(well, i used to be Headbanger

now i'm more Ying Yang

) it lacks staying power, however... I just end up putting on Deloused or Octahedron if I want to listen to this band

basically an OT set of musings:

i read some interviews with rodriguez-lopez and he said that he thinks the new album is 'stale' already.. he didnt seem very interested in playing the music live... or really, any of the mars volta stuff... there's an hilarious concert video on youtube of the mars volta playing some L.A. (KRoQ) radio benefit/festival... they basically just play a 'psych-freejazz odyssey freak out' for an hour while cedric occasionally rants... it's pretty entertaining... and gives you a good idea of the attitude these guys have towards being pop stars/a touring outfit with 'fans'

furher OT, but somewhat relevant, and a recommendation:

when that omar collection 'Telesterion' came out around the time of Nocturniquet -i bought them both.... I really liked Nocturniquet at first, but I ended up listening to Telesterion 10 times as much... It's definitely worth checking out if you don't have any of his solo stuff... love the spanish vocals by the girl...oh yeah, seems like Omar would rather make peyote-influenced B movies in the Elpaso desert rather than play in Mars Volta... not to mention everyone in the band hates him for being such an intolerable fascist.. or something LOL
