  • Re: The Mars Volta

    best album of the year

    • Re: The Mars Volta

      they are wicked good...i love the singer's voice
      good experimental shit
    • Re: The Mars Volta

      One of the best albums of all time? That? Are you kidding?

      R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
      Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced?
      Nirvana - Bleach
      The Beatles - All that crap everybody loves that I hate.

      It really compares to all those right? Of course it doesn't. It's in another dimension of mediocrity.

        yes
        • Re: The Mars Volta

          i love Nirvana, i was obsessed with then when i was 15 but u cant tell me Bleach is one of the best albums of all time, admit it, you just said that to look cool.
          • Re: The Mars Volta

            Well I was going to say Nevermind, but I like Bleach a hell of a lot more.

            My favourite Nirvana album to listen to right now is Bleach.
            • Re: The Mars Volta

              i wouldn't say it's one of the best albums of all time but it is probably one of the best this year. I cant wait to hear them at reading.
              • Re: The Mars Volta

                They suck and you know it MOLEMAN. And READING SUCKS TOO.
                • Re: The Mars Volta

                  How the fuck can you say they suck? And saying Reading sucks as well when its probably the best festival in England is there something wrong wit you?
                  • Re: The Mars Volta

                    It's not the best festival in england.

                    It's an absolutely terrible festival.

                    Thousands of irritating little teenagers and make-up-goths-with-scar-covered-arms-"oh let the world see my scratched arms and pitty me".

                    Sponsored by an all-encompassing-even-multi-global-mega-brand such as Carling who consistently take our public space and have their targets set on music.

                    Watching hundreds of terrible-bands-who-are-basically-pop-but-think-they-have-integrity-in-rock-and-are-fooling-all-the-kids.

                    It's the most stale sign on Earth that the human race is decending into mass-consurism-no-choice-identikit-rent-a-identity.

                      mars volta: basically pop


                      ok
                      a) who isnt basically pop?
                      b) whats a better festival (id guess truck, which is a great weekend, but theres hardly bands to wet yourself over)
                      • Re: The Mars Volta

                        Well Mars Volta are an exception. There are a few bands that are playing that while they have some artistic integrity, still sound terrible (i.e. Mars Volta).

                        Glastonbury seemed better. No evil mass sponsor as far I'm aware (probably a less evil one). And Stuart Braithwaite bashed the stage with his guitar.
                        • Re: The Mars Volta

                          same organisation

                          less hard rock
                          • Re: The Mars Volta

                            Carling do glastonbury too?

                            Sigur Ros, R.E.M. and Mogwai. That's three good bands that played there. I can't think of one good band playing at Reading.
                            • Re: The Mars Volta

                              mean fiddler.

                              squarepusher
                              system of a down
                              hope of the states
                              radio 4
                              the rapture
                              f4af.

                              mogwai played a few years ag0 -headlined the second stage. awesome. i think sigur ros have played too
                              • Re: The Mars Volta

                                I got the f4af album for free and it was terrible.

                                System of a Down are talented, but repetitive in a very radio friendly kind of way.

                                Don't know the others.
