Mars Volta may have better musicians than At the Drive-In but they'll never have more passion and heart than the drive in. They deffinatley toned it down alot to appeal to the masses.
Metaphor Reviewed by Metaphor on . The Mars Volta I sure hope that anyone on here that is into music has at least checked out this band. They are some of the most talented musicians in a long time, and many including myself compare the guitarist to hendrix. if you are into some good rock check them out. very trippy. thier first cd deals with a druggie shooting up and going into a coma where has horrific visions for the next 7 songs, till he wakes up and is so scarred from his dreams that he commits suicide. yah. trippy stuff.
