oh and im so fkin annoyed i couldnt get a ticket for brixton..

they related to sparta somehow ey?

Following the break-up of ATDI, Bixler-Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez started The Mars Volta. This project was a departure from their previous work, as it pursued the prog-rock sound that they had been interested in. Meanwhile, the other members of ATDI – Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos, and Tony Hajjar – started the band Sparta.

he, fiik where i picked up that connection.. thnx

:D
I have a little gripe though. For some reason the start of the album is annoying, the first couple seconds.

what the way it just starts? :)

Yeah, the first 20 seconds of the first song. Not on it's own, but as a start. It might have to do with the excessive repetition of it without much build-up, or something else completely subjective. Makes me want to always start from the second track.

i see what you mean but it dont bother me :)


keep listening to goliath over and over the other day

mental! :)

always stop, hate getting sick of albums. I think I did that with Master Of Puppets, couldn't listen to it for about 3 years.

its good when ya come back to it though ;)

I still remember every single sound. It come back to life again when I decided to play it on guitar though.

I love how the album starts, you know this is going to be an aggressive album right away. And the second part of the song, with that crazy sax, it's like the best moment of the album.

crap record again

still a great live band tho

i cant say theres any bit of it that i dont love :x
absolute genius

after a few listening session: can't say i like it over De-Loused or Frances The Mute.. it is ok though

the video for Goliath is absurd :D
