Mars Volta emanates infectious ingenuity By Stephen Cortez No stopping you now. Contributor

If the name The Mars Volta is a new one to you, it should be new no longer. ALBUMREVIEW

The Mars Volta is the brain- child of vocalist Cedric Bix- ler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, who blend genre-bending musicianship and incredible complexity that few artists can compete with. Perhaps the reason The Mars Volta has remained under the radar through Amputechture, its third full-length release, is because the public has heard few bands with its ingenuity. The band combines excellent lyrics with a musical style that draws on every influence from ’70s classic rock to modern pro- gressive rock to Latin stylings. Every bit of the talent The Mars Volta possesses was present on its previous releases, De- Loused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute. That talent is still evident here, yet never before has everything come together so perfectly. Be warned, however, this disc is far from radio friendly. Three songs clock in at more than 11 minutes. It is probably the longest eight-song album you will ever listen to, yet it’s one of the band’s charms. After a gentle beginning with “Vicarious Atonement,” Amputechture moves on to the chaotic 16-minute “Tetragram- maton,” which displays some of the more impressive guitar work from Rodriguez-Lopez. “Meccamputechture” is one of the more deranged songs on the album and features a brilliant ambiance created by the We want you to succeed, and all the signs say GO. mixture of guitar, saxophone and keyboard throughout the That’s why we’ve created an environment that’s conducive 11-minute epic. “Viscera Eyes,” the album’s to personal and professional growth and success.

The drum- ming in this song is superb. This 12-minute saga of pure pandemonium is right up there with “Viscera Eyes” as the finest efforts from The Mars Volta. Adjectives such as chaotic and deranged are not words traditionally used to describe quality music. For that fact, 11- plus-minute songs are usually a detractor. In addition, who sings half of a song in Spanish? These guys do, and that’s what makes them so innovative. Whether or not you appre- ciate The Mars Volta’s music, listeners must salute its radical and fearless approach. Amputechture, and The Mars Volta in general, certainly aren’t for everyone. Its style is uncon- ventional and usually takes a few listens to wrap your mind around it. However, if you become savvy to it, you will only crave more.
