	THE MARS VOLTA Frances The Mute reviews
		Vismund Cygnus isn't bad with some nice harmonies, trademark rapid-fire drumming and riffing and a decent chorus, but it was a little too similar to stuff on De-Loused for my liking.
		Cygnus Vismund Cygnus is a great way to start the record, because it's a defining Mars Volta cut, exploring almost all the avenues that they play.
		Vismund Cygnus is the best track on the album to me. Soft start, Hard hitting middle with i dont know what voice constortion, ending in a same mind moving way that only the Volta can do.

		Vismund Cygnus is a great unofficial intro to the album.
		Vismund Cygnus," to the waltz-y gloom of "Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore." Even the "lesser" songs (the aforementioned "Miranda..." and the single "The Widow") are excellent.
		This album follows the story of Vismund Cygnus, trying desperatly to find and what happened to his parents, although there are various theorys on the net, this seems the most consistant.

		It also means that she would think that no one would have to chase her, since she goes out on the street by herself all the time.

		Vismund Cygnus") is the one searching for his parents.
		There are several other characters -- L'Via, Miranda and Cassandra -- who may or may not simply exist in Cygnus' imagination, or may be, respectively, Frances' sister, her mother, and Cygnus' twin sister.
		Deciphering the album is a dissatisfactory endeavor, made no easier by the knowledge that the band members want you to believe your own interpretation of the events described.

	The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
		Not an album to be skipped through, Frances the Mute is a 76 minute prog-rock epiphany, touching all corners of the musical spectrum, leaving no boundary un-pushed.
		The first movement of Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus: Sarcophagi creeps up on you quietly, before bursting into a heavily-textured tirade of Frank Zappa-style experimental musicianship, with Cedric Bixler Zavala's distinctive vocals masterfully riding the waves of crescendo-ridden, time-switching trickery supplied by Omar a Rodriguez-Lopez.
		Cygnus covers the same ground as previous album De-Loused in the Comatorium, ranging from softly profound breakdowns, to unforgettable melodies at breakneck speed (Bixler's particular high point here is wailing "who do you trust") with the added presence of sections sung in Spanish.

		The dozen tracks here represent but five "songs" proper, though the band's disdain for conventional track banding inspire it to sound more like a stream-of-consciousness soundscape from Can--or a dark, lyrically inventive, if decidedly troubled corner of their ids.
		On the "Umbilical Syllables" portion of "Cygnus.." and "The Widow" Bixter-Zavala invokes the wailing, Zeppelin II & III spirit of Robert Plant set against a feverish, swirling melange that's anything but the blues.
		Vismund Cygnus: Starts off with a sweet little quiet part and enters into a hard section with Spanish lyrics before turning to English.

		Vismund Cygnus" or "L'Via L'Viaquez." Within this segment, BIXLER sings of apparitions and other such things regarding the prior events criptically laid out by the other songs off of FTM.
		Vismund Cygnus" and the closer of "Cassandra Geminni" with typical Bixler morbid, abstract lyrics.
		The song begins to mount after a few minutes, then breaks into another crooning segment, where Bixler relates that "This never happened," which is probably referring to the whole FTM album.

		The roar of Rodriguez Lopez and Bixler's post-hardcore past is fully locked away, replaced by an equally powerful flair for expressive percussion, intricate vocal harmonies, and extended solos for electric guitar (as on the initial part of "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus").
		With an inspiring willingness to innovate, the Afros that are Cedric and Omar have just broken the obstacles that they themselves laid in their path.
		Starting with the almost folk-like Sarcophagi element of their first sprawling thirteen-minute opus, Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus, you could be forgiven for being caught by surprise when the fast slapping bass line backs up an irresistable guitar hook.

	System of a Down + The Mars Volta - PopMatters Concert Review
		Though "Cygnus" was for those in the crowd who were diehard MV fans, everyone remained patient.
		Unlike their debut tour, the band has added a couple of horn players and a percussionist, as well as former At the Drive-in bandmate Paul Hinojos as their "sound manipulator".
		After getting through "Cygnus", the crowd was rewarded with the next two songs, each of which has gotten some radio airplay.

	Album Review: The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The album is reminiscent of Pink Floyd in several ways - particularly its sweeping, multi-part song structures, massive guitar solos and general feeling of enormity - but all of this is channeled through The Mars Volta's fast, punchy style.
		Vismund Cygnus," flies through a huge power-rock opening, then drifts into a bridge of seemingly improvisational noodling, and then launches back into the chaotic buzz a few minutes on.
		These alternating song cycles continue throughout the album, resulting in a fascinating and unpredictable listen.

	"Frances the Mute" Decoder Single
		But then there still is the mystery of the "title track" which is listed underneath the cd tray-- lyrics and all, but as far as I can tell-- It's not on the cd.
		And yes, track 4 ends with a bass-driven section that can be found shortly before the end of Cygnus.
		And that is also correct, as Cassandra officially ends with a movement called Sarcophagi, which also happens to be the first movement of Cygnus.

		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.
		Continuing in the epic progressive nature of their previous release, "Deloused in the Comatorium", "Frances the Mute" sees the band pushing the boundaries even further, making for a somewhat jarring but undoubtedly engaging listen.
		The song sort of builds up in reverse, firing out of the gate with wild jazzy time changes, eventually melting into spacious guitar melodies, and finally concluding with an odd electronic bit.

		It’s a bit creepy, but its intent is not to turn you off, just provide a contrast to the blazing music.
		If every track is as diverse and awesome as ‘Cygnus’, we are in for quite an extraordinary album.
		This song seems to be the wild, young, lustful, frantic song on the album and you can tell, we are in for much, much more.

	Musiqtone: Music Reviews: Mars Volta brings 'ordered chaos' to order in latest CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		With the exception of two, each song is broken up into parts and I’ll try to provide to the best of my abilities which part I am talking about:
		“Cygnus…Vismund Cygnus” - The song is broken up by “Sarcophagi,” “Umbilical Syllables,” “Facilis Descenus Averni”, and “Con Safo.” Running at a little over 13 minutes, this song doesn’t do too much resting.
		We start off with some soft music and a lyrical welcome by Cedric, and then become immediately attacked by that classic, high energy Mars Volta music with some of those nice Spanish vocals added on for good measure.

	stereogum: Mars Volta Are The New Rush
		Prog has been good to some bands (Green Day, Radiohead), and bad to just as many (Sunny Day Real Estate), but after reading Pareles' article I was curious enough to listen the Mars Volta for the first time.
		The band's five-part conceptual opus Frances The Mute shifts genres every couple of minutes and has track titles like "Cygnus...
		Vismund Cygnus." ("The lyrics are both copious and hermetic," Pareles notes.) It's a grating, difficult listen...

		Dive in at the 3:45 mark and tell me you're not listening to the classic rock of the future.
		Despite familiar trappings such as colorful aliases for amalgams of real-life and fictionalized characters (the title character is the birth mother of protagonist Cygnus), Frances is a much more organic and reality-rooted experience-it even has a moral: "You learn so much about people from their roots.
		If I meet my friends' mothers and fathers, I learn so much more about them.

	What?
		Unlike the band who folloed, they did not over-use lighting.
		During the lull in the middle of Cygnus....Vismund Cygnus, they had a cool lighthouse type deal on the stage that increased its tangental acceleration as the music sped up.
		At the end of The Widow, they let they backdrop fall to reveal an ever more cool one.
