	The Mars Volta: Frances The Mute (2005): Reviews
		The Mars Volta's second album is an exhilarating transgression: concussive, nonlinear rhythms; mad-dog guitar algebra; bloody-nightmare suites sung in bilingual free verse.
		The grapevine says that the Volta haven't changed their sound around at all, that "Amputexture" is going to get a million more idiots play awkward riffs on their guitars and attempt to pass it off as "avant-garde".
		The Mars Volta is a truly revolutionary band that recalls the innovation that pioneering artists such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd had in their day.

	Mars Volta
		The Mars Volta soon released ''Tremulant'' in 2002, a collection of three songs - including "Concertina", a condemnation of a former ATDI member - that explored prog rock, punk rock, salsa, free and avant-garde.
		According to the band, "Volta" was a term used by surrealist filmmaker Federico Fellini to describe a radical change in art and social contexts.
		The Mars Volta are currently about to start on a US tour covering much of the country.

		On De-loused in the Comatorium, the Mars Volta approach rock and roll like it's an ascetic discipline, a calling that comes with lyric sheets as dense and impenetrable as the Kabbalah and a ritual of worship that's dervish-like in its intensity.
		The Mars Volta was formed by Cedric Bixler and Omar Rodriguez, former frontmen of the now defunct Texan punk outfit, AtThe Drive-In.
		I have loved the mars volta since ifirst heard televators and upon recieving the album i discoved that it is not even the best track.

		The Mars Volta released Tremulant in 2002, a collection of three songs - including "Concertina", a condemnation of a former ATDI member - that explored prog rock, punk rock, salsa, free and avant-garde.
		Whereas Tremulant was a record with no general theme, except the prophetic mentioning of its follow-up album, De-Loused in the Comatorium was a unified work of speculative fiction that told the story, from the first person perspective, of someone in a drug induced coma.
		Though lyrically obtuse, The Mars Volta have stated in interviews that the protagonist of the album is based on a friend of theirs, Julio Venegas, or "Cerpin Taxt", as mentioned in the story, who several years prior was in a coma himself.

	The Mars Volta - PopMatters Concert Review
		The Mars Volta positively arrested the theater, starting with the shekere- and bongo-led fury of "Drunkship of Lanterns", in which Theodore got to strut his schooling in Haitian voodoo drumming.
		The Mars Volta is infiltrating historically Anglo territory, stirring in their own ethnic identities (Puerto Rican-American, Chicano, and Haitian-American, among others).
		Add to that the Mars Volta's penchant for King Crimson-like song structure and grotesque, anatomically interested lyrics, and you have a band that is effectively defamiliarizing what "rock", and music in general, is and can be.

	The Mars Volta - PopMatters Concert Review
		I have always found it peculiar that the music press and music fans in general feel there is a correlation between the Mars Volta's Latin-tinged jam-rock and the progressive dinosaurs of yesteryear.
		In 2005, the confidence of the Mars Volta is evident.
		The Mars Volta's live set is worth seeing simply because no other band matches their style of sound and passion on stage.

	stereogum: Mars Volta Are The New Rush
		Mars Volta was like a half-assed attempt at the greatness of At The Drive In.
		The same people who bitch and rave about the Mars Volta's indulgences probably think that the uber-boring, VERY pretentious "Kid A" is the greatest album ever made, or, on the other hand, that a lot of these faceless "indie" bands who write serviceable, generic two-minute songs are the saviors of music.

		Without sacrificing the creepy overtones and wild sound, the Mars Volta opts for a new, stranger sound that is a bit less rock and a bit more prog.
		With their latest release, the Mars Volta have solidified their position as one of the most musically audacious bands in the mainstream today.
		Epic, unpredictable, and quite intense, the Mars Volta are most certainly not for the faint of heart.

	The Mars Volta: De-Loused In The Comatorium (2003): Reviews
		The Mars Volta have not only revived prog-rock as a viable commodity; they've injected it with an electric vigor that the lumbering dinosaur hasn't witnessed in ages.
		Instead of the shambolic mess that this kinda influence normally entails Mars Volta have come strictly disciplined.
		As nuts as they are, The Mars Volta recall the raw potential rock held before it was castrated by radio programmers and corporate control.

		Both albums were produced by Rick Rubin, and for the Mars Volta album, he chose engineer Dave Schiffman, who has manned the board for Audioslave, System of a Down, the Juliana Theory and the Peppers' Californication.
		The Mars Volta are singer Cedric Bixler, guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, drummer Jon Theodore, bassist Juan Alderete and keyboardist Isaiah Owens.
		But for this project, I picked up the Mars Volta EP to suss from that, and I had conversations with Rick about what he was looking to get out of this situation.

		While other ex-AT THE DRIVE-IN members continued on the path of their predecessor with punk/emo band SPARTA, THE MARS VOLTA expanded the sound that they had previously forged, venturing often into extended explosions of free jazz and psychedelic jamming throughout their songs.

	The Mars Volta
		Relationship of Command, post-hardcore (whatever the fuck that is) practitioners At the Drive-In busted in two, with the normal looking white guys forming an emo piece of shit band called Sparta and the two ethnic dudes with afros indulging in their fetish for prog-rock with the Mars Volta.
		If you like The Mars Volta a little bit, it's a pretty safe bet that you'd like ATDI about ten million times better, since they WERE about ten million and one times better.
		The differences between the Mars Volta and Yes and their brethren are the Mars Volta don’t use any cheesy prog keyboards (though there are plenty of nice, tasteful, rocking organs and crap tossed into the stew) and Cedric Bixler-Zavala occasionally sings in Spanish.

		Though Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala did time in popular Emo band At The Drive-In, their subsequent project, the Mars Volta, is a horse of an entirely different color.
		Mars Volta's debut album, 2003's DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM announced the band's presence with a bang, setting a standard for post-emo ambitions in the mid-2000s.

	New Mars Volta ups voltage - Entertainment
		However, as with any style of anything that was popular in the '70s, prog rock has once again come back into style with a new breed of bands like Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and The Mars Volta especially.
		The Mars Volta's first full-length album, De-Loused in the Comatorium, turned many people's heads and not just for John Frusciante and Flea making guest appearances; drawing comparisons to Pink Floyd, TMV was seen as the return to real theatric and druggy music that bands like Floyd churned out in the '70s.
		Folks, this is prog at its most classic levels, but TMV still manages to sound modern and progressive.

		I am writing to you to voice my distress over the recent release of Frances the Mute, your second album together as part of the Mars Volta.
		Yes, this is a review of the album and yes, I did consider writing it in a more conventional review format (even going so far as to complete one), but it didn’t seem as appropriate or sincere.
		De-Loused in the Comatorium, the first Mars Volta record, was deeply frustrating, with its considerable virtues marred by vile, ceaseless wankery.
