Have you guys checked out Vato Negro?

It's Juan's side project and it's pretty damn good.

I don't have anything with The Mars Volta, but I wish to change that. Is their debut album a good place to start?

That's actually quite funny because that's what happened with me word for word. It really was the catalyst to my musical perception. Made me think outside the box.

I agree with the both of you. I started out at De-loused in the Comatorium and it was pure brilliance. Their latest work, I feel, isn't up to par with the older albums. They are good, and I like them OK, but it just doesn't sound as raw. Omar's first solo album definitely caught me off guard, too. It, too, was fucking brilliant, but again, the albums he put out after that ... Just wasn't feelin' it.

I liked The Bedlam In Goliath the most, which is an unpopular pick, but yeah, De-Loused is where I started and I can't think of anywhere better to start.

Bedlam is my favourite as well.

Dr_Rez · 03-10-2010, 11:13 PM
