    Just beautiful

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 14, 2005

    Pros: the brilliant music, the beautiful vocals and all the fun of decoding the story

    Cons: The parts where nothing happens

    I love De-Loused. I really do. But this album surpasses it. No, I'm not lying. The first four songs on the album are good, but there are parts where nothing happens except some noise which kinda bothers me, but when the album hits Cassandra Gemi...ni, the 32 minute epic, it's pure heaven. I can't really explain what makes me love this track so much, but it really makes up for those little flaws earlier in the album. Makes me completely forget them. The lyrics are a bit odd, but that's part of the fun. Trying to unlock this mystery is as exciting and entertaining as listening to the album, if not more. It's like watching a David Lynch movie. I really suck at writing reviews, and my english isn't that good so I'll just say: Buy this album, open your mind, listen to it a few times through and enjoy. Read more Less

    A Genre In Its Own

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 12, 2005

    Pros: Unique and genius

    Cons: none at all

    The Mars Volta cannot even begin to be classified, for it is a genre in its own, the lyrics are ingenius to the highest degree, they are so intense, and twisted in a sense that even the dark lyrics seem light at times. The music is outstanding, this ...band i can't even begin to describe. The Mars Volta is pretty much for anyone who likes listening to music, a band that takes the fundamentals of rock and blends them into something new. I'm sure i'll be listening to this one till' the disk dies of overusage, just so i can go out to buy it again. For further look into the sheer genious of this band pick up de-loused in the comatorium the mars volta's last album, this band will surely go down in history as a genre definement of rock and roll.

    They Frakin' Rock

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 2, 2005 | 3 out of 9 found this Frances the Mute review helpful

    Pros: The Mars volta

    Cons: Absolutely Perfect!

    The Mars Molta is THE best band ever. I just baught the CD, and even if I listen to it over and over again, I don't find anything wrong. I have to thank Omar and Cedric for creating such amazing music. I especially like the spanish song because t...hey're representing the Mexican and latino community. Just like "De-loused in the Comatorium" I don't find anything wrong with "Frances the Mute". Hopefully the band will do good with their sales and prove that doubted them wrong. Good luck to them and hopefully they are proud of everything they've accomplished (even their tour in Europe). Okay then. Bye. Read more Less

    Pros: Amazing voice...fun music

    Cons: too much down time

    This is a great cd just wish they would get to the point a little faster but as with Tool you have to be patient and its always well worth the wait.

    What we need in today's music.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 10, 2005 | 0 out of 3 found this Frances the Mute review helpful

    Pros: Awesome

    Cons: Little lenghty, but it distinguishes itself from alot of today's "rock".

    Mars Volta has been proving themselves since Bixler and Rodriguez have left at the drive in. At the drive in was fantastic, but now it seems as though their artistic expression is reaching the heights of Pink Floyd and Radiohead. Mars Volta has a way... to go to be in the same catagory of those two bands but don't be surprised once they get there. Their character, talent, and innovativeness have marginalized them most of today's music but I encourage everybody to buy a The Mars Volta album because it's all about the experience and journey from the first track to the last.

    Hard to fault, but not impossible.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 8, 2005 | 0 out of 3 found this Frances the Mute review helpful

    Pros: Expansive, innovative, intelligent and energetic.

    Cons: It is a little slow at times.

    Excellent and wilfully obscure, this has some really grand moments that far outstrip De-Loused in the Comatorium, but it's also a tad more self-indulgent and plods needlessly in places. I like the slow bits, myself; they give a bit of breathing s...pace and atmosphere, but I can see how it would annoy many listeners. Also, I can't speak Spanish, so I don't understand half of it. Actually, it can be pretty hard to understand the English lyrics with these guys, but you get over it. In the end, you have to applaud the sheer creativity and uniqueness of this band, as well as the pulse-beating energy they can produce without sacrificing intelligence. I'll be impressed if anyone beats this to my personal Album of the Year. Read more Less

    Masterpiece

    Pros: Lyrics and Music....Pretty much everything

    Cons: Not much

    The Mars Volta released their best album yet stepping up their game yet again after an incredible first showing with deloused. Time after time songs shift in the least expected way and everything flow delisciously. the only negative is the occasional... down time interludes which are lengthy at times. other than that every thing is simply amazing and even catchy.

    Pros: Awsome Instrumental

    Cons: Takes some getting used to.

    This Cd is a great buy indeed. I got mine Tueaday afternoon and I have been listening to it nonstop so far. The epic songs are something that should not be over looked. I believe, and this is just me, that that is the reason you should buy this Cd. T...he songs are amazing. Enough Said. Read more Less

    Pros: None

    Cons: Most Of It

    I expected a lot more from frances the mute, weird effects that take too long, it makes the album pretty boring, this time they exagerated, they are great musicians and there´s not enough music a "band music", comunication between them. A ...boring album, nothig like De-Loused....one of the best albums I have ever heard in mi life. disappointed, sad actually. Please, Cedric Bixler, don´t sing in spanish!, you have to learn the language first, sounds awful! Hector Cancino Mexico Congratulations for De-Loused, a piece of beauty Read more Less
