fine i'll turn this thread into what i'm talking about.
Band: The Mars Volta
album: De-Loused in the Comatorium
review: alright back in the day there was this band called "At The Drive-In" and they were generally regarded as being ahead of their time. they carved a niche for themself, got quite popular with the indie crowd, and then broke up at the height of their career. the guitar player and singer, cedric and omar, formed a new band with some other dudes called the mars volta. they play crazy acid rock, and can't really be compared with any other modern bands that aren't just copying them. if you give the album a listen, do NOT listen to one song. listen to the whole thing from beginning to end because it is sort of a concept album and it flows nicely.
similar bands: At The Drive-In, Sparta, Pink Floyd
