Oh man, I hadn’t listened to this for ages. The whole album is genius from start to end. From wild experimentation to swinging Latin music to heartbreaking moments. If I remember correctly, the bass on this album was played by Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
My second favorite TMV song! The outro ends abruptly because it runs right into the next song, much like most of the songs on this album. I very highly recommend the song right after this, Eriatarka. It's one of their most straightforward, punk-oriented songs.
PLEASE pls listen to this album imo its their greatest work! hail the sun draws most of their inspiration from this album if i recall correctly from what theyve said on interviews. 10/10 for me
btw imo opinion again, (after watching the video) this is my least favorite of the album, roulette dares is definitely my favorite and if nothing else that is one you would love if you checked out
After years now, I filing myself mainly coming back to their album “Bedlam in Goliath”. I like it’s expounding on ideas presented on this album, but a more cohesively with more jazz/free jazz elements. That album to me sounds like classic old Santana on LCD and crack.
Hey! Thanks for checking out this song off this album. Delosued album is amazing and one of my favorite albums from the 2000s. The Mars Volta and The Fall of Troy got me interested into more non-mainstream bands 👍
@@baconoftheark those first two FoT albums. Lit. Rockstar Nailbomb blew my inexperienced and musically naive mind the first time I heard it. LOL!! The tapping riff. You know the one.
@@mr.steinhaus6014 Yes! The that album was raw and less processed. Did you ever listen to The Ghostship EP - I didn't even know those songs were the bases of the future albums xD.
I really do think that the way you think of The Mars Volta is like you have to think of King Crimson, to me, they’re philosophically the closest thing I could compare them to. Larks’ tongues in Aspic would be the mission statement for what the Mars Volta wanted to do. I’m sure some people love “the talking drum”, but most are showing up for the brilliant & completely unique parts of the Title track. I think the Mars Volta was inspired by some of the best parts of classic 70’s Prog, with the total disregard of traditional structures in favor of experimentation for experimentations sake that everyone but some of the most obscure artists have abandoned. Omar is very Robert Fripp-ish mixed with some Sanatana, while Cedric has a good deal of Peter Gabriel in his DNA, all filtered through a Post-Hardcore lens.
Viewing this song that I've listened to probably a thousand times in the context of a musical is rocking me because I absolutely see where you're coming from and I'll never be able to unsee it
Zack de la Rocha said right before they performed this song live: the Mars Volta is a band that is more interested in creating moment than creating hits
Been waiting for you to dive in to this track. I feel the little passages at the end of many of their tracks might be distracting without their context in the album. Many of them act as interludes to the next track
I think that's the best progressive hardcore/rock album of all time. You should give a full album listen, because it's working on a full another level when you listen to the songs together.
If you like the backmasked stuff they did on this track, you should check out At The Drive In's Vaya EP specifically the song 300MHz, conceptually it contains a lot of the ideas that were later expanded on in Deloused in the Commatorium it's also by far the best mixed At the Drive In release IMO
How much do I gotta Zelle you to review eriatarka from this same album?! Probably one of the most digestible songs and best songs by them. One of my favorite bands but I can understand your critique. Lot of the songs you’ve been shown are great but not great for someone getting into the band. Love your reviews man keep it up!
I don't accept Zelle at the moment but requests are $30 for any single song up to 30 minutes long. You can pay through Paypal or Ko-Fi. Links can be found in the Linktree, look for the buttons for Special Selection Submission linktr.ee/criticalreactions
This would be a great candidate for a “full album reaction”.
You’d love it!
Absolutely!
the whole Deloused in the Comatorium album is so great, you should do a full listen!!
Flea on bass. Jon theodore on drums. Fantastic.

If I remember correctly, the bass on this album was played by Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Just double checked. It's him. He also did the trumpet part on Miranda. Frusciante had a solo on either the opening track or La Via, too.
I've always felt like Flea's work on this album tops anything he did with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers
@@TheMagicalArden correct and the Frusciante solo was on L'via

Your favorite better be Cassandra Gemini.
@@TheMagicalArdenTetragrammaton! But I love Cassandra.
@@TheMagicalArden Cassandra is such an eargasm.

As always you had some great stuff to say that I never pick up on myself. Thanks for doing my special selection!

Finally someone has him listening to Volta from the first album, which I think he would like more
Just gifted my nephew this vinyl as a graduation gift last week.
Deloused really is more than the sum of its parts. If it is one Mars Volta album that you should do a full listen through of this is it.
There will never be another album like Deloused. Such a masterpiece.

This song represents what my brain looks like from the inside… maybe mostly the “negatives” 🤣 I love this song and the album, tbh.
Thank you!🖤

The song that turned me into a MV fan and would later get me into Fugazi (and subsequently anything punk related before the 2000's.)
You should check out the live version they did at The Electric Ballroom in '07. I would give up everything to be a fly on that wall.
Love you still keep coming back for more
Oh man we HAVE to get a full album reaction, it’s my favorite album of all time

Idk if every funky guitar part represents something. Sometimes it's just a sick part.

You have to do Roulette Dares!!
gimme more volta

masterpiece album.
Check out @where? And globular cluster or cranium rat
Eriatarka is the best song on the album by a factor of infinity
ROULETTE DARES
Try out Seeds by Exotic Animal Petting Zoo
Children of Nova were far more enjoyable for my liking... - Were you after 'castanets'?
YES!
eriatarka
You talked a lot more than usual during the song which resulted in you missing important parts.
"Is this running in cycles?" no it's called a verse chorus structure.
This dude stays filtered.
