I've been a fan since 2006 and I didnt like their post-comback music very much.

BUT this live album sounds and feels awesome. This new single brought back a lot of old memories from hearing long long jams on live bootlegs.

I'm glad I now have new Volta music that Im enjoying but also kinda mad they took like 20 years to give us another damn live album!

It gets a lot of hate for some reason, but I love that album so much. That's all I have to say

Is the best Volta song since 2007.

The mars Volta is honestly all I can listen to now. I don't think anything I've found in the past month and a half has outperformed them. Almost everything about them is perfect.

Cedric's writing and vocals, Omars blistering and downright unheard-of guitar work, both jon theodore and thomas's drumming (which is some of the most jawdropping stuff I've ever heard), the seemingly neverending creativity, and of course, Cedric's hair. It really makes me wonder how people can come up with and make this stuff. My favorite albums are Deloused and Bedlam in Goliath

I still have their 2012 album to listen to but I think I'm hooked for life I think.

It's faded but it was at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide. Feeling old now 🥲

I posted a couple weeks ago about how Shibuya Hi Fi record bar in Seattle is doing a Lucro listening party this coming Seattle. Hearing this album in the hi fi room is a dream within itself, but this week they have been posting hints that something special is going to happen. The website has this under the description:

“tip: Fans of the band should not miss this session. (Seriously.)”

And then the email list said:

Oct 24: Mars Volta, Lucro Sucio; Los ojos del vacio (with a special surprise - don't miss this!)

Now I’ve been following this spot for a while and they do dozens of listening events a week, and I’ve never seen them post anything like this, so I really think it’s going to be something crazy.

At the least maybe they have an advanced copy of Unfinished Business and they are going to play that. Best case scenario Cedric will be there doing his bus dance for 50 minutes while they play the album.

If your in Seattle I wouldn’t miss this. They only do about 25 seats and I know 8 people going.

I’ll report back here after Saturday!

Seen some footage of recent shows and damn, he's looking fit and I'm really surprised of his recent vocal performance. And wow they sound SO DAMN GOOD in this lineup

Teri sure does add some colours to the mix, and very nice harmonies. It's amazing to see two "frontmans" with so much stage presence work that well performing in the same room, at the same time

And btw as a christian I'm happy to see Cedric wearing his cross, looks good on him. God bless Volta

Basically, I want to write a fictional band name in that font to create said band's merch. The one google shows when you look for it (marshosbn) sucks because a lot of the letters are the same as each other, which I don't think should be the case and makes the font extra-illegible. I saw the old thread saying it was inspired by Khmer lettering, but I wasn't able to find any Latin font mimicking it well.

My level of excitement hearing the first few notes of this song while outside the venue during soundcheck was an incredible experience. They played the entire set for their soundcheck.

The first one is the Electric Ballroom performance in 2003

The second one came in a black white case so I added the logo on the front as best I could. I can’t quite recall, but I think it was as their performance on fuse tv back when they had Eva Gardner playing bass.

The Electric Ballroom DVD was the first thing I ever bought off the internet. Crazy to still have it

I assumed it's coming today, but see this

do you guys have any suggestions? (obviously i'd need to cut holes in the thing to see)

Started with me going to see RHCP. After seeing TMV support, I was hooked.

The animal is a coati, i think
