The ironic thing is that on a superficial level The Mars Volta and The Grateful Dead are about as far away from each other as you can get. No one would ever make a reference to one as a means of describing the other. However, Stylistically, in the realm of musical rhetoric, their are some uncanny similarities and that's what surfdaddy and I have picked up on. Its not really a comparison of the two bands, because that would be kinda' futile.
