CardWarfare 4 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Who's still on who knows about music? Through a series of bad decisions and happenstances, the length of which would bore and confuse, I have to review a 6-page paper written about The Mars Volta. I guess I’ll start out by actually listening to their music. Anyone know a good place to start? As in, what songs/albums to listen to?Start with the Deloused in the Comatorium (sp?) album. Alter your mental state in some way before hand. Link to post Share on other sites

run_goot 0 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've listened to Neon Bible a few times and I like Funeral better. Neon Bible is still good, though.I've also been listening to Brand New, M. Ward, and a bunch of brit rock. Link to post Share on other sites
LongLiveYorke 38 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've been going pretty nuts with the band Deerhoof lately and have been "spinning" (I guess my computer hard drive does spin, so the term still sort of counts) the following albums:Apple O'Friend Opportunity (their new one)The Runners FourI've been getting really into their music. They're a pretty crazy and fantastic band and I highly recommend them to anyone who is into... uh... crazy guitar symphonies and solos with a meek Japanese voice and hard drum beats... or something.I also listened to "I am a bird now" by Antony and the Johnsons. I'm not sure if anyone has that album, but it's basically the saddest album of all time. It's also one of the best.Finally, I'm looking forward to the new Arcade Fire since I was a huge fan of Funeral. Link to post Share on other sites

I would probably call them forgotten as opposed to underrated, but that's really just splitting hairs. I'm 21, but I know a lot of people my age and younger aren't terribly familiar with The Clash, and I think that's sad. One of my favorite all-time bands. I kinda feel like listening to The Magnificent Seven now... Link to post Share on other sites
