This song is so good

We're failing each other

01:35 02:39

The beginning sounds like being violently Televated toward a folding wormhole of Roulette Dares into a haunted dimension. Tremulant and taken off guard, you're still trying to comprehend these Landscape Tantrums. Why are these vibrations engulfing you so ominous and full of Bedlam. Then the calm verse riff emerges with Luciforms. That's you exiting the vortex to find yourself is an obscure new world full of surrealism and Tarantism. The lyrics cascade and conjure imagery that would only make sense to Salvador Dalí. The chorus is an Inertiatic explosion of ESP sonic booms. This delicate dance between eruptive and Soothsayer instrumentation gives complex dynamics throughout. Which then evolves, transposes, and mutates for the benefit of existence. Time is mandatory to witness such sonomorphs. When the intermission manifests, you have already been overwhelmed for over 6 earth minutes. So a calm flow is welcomed as is the natural order of emotions. You think it's over. Though, your sedated nerves are Faminepulsed back to high pressure. The heavy chorus returns to melt any face within earshot, to reveal no one behind the mask. This music so potent it distorts even the vocals. "In the end they just gagged me to make him come out." The horns section near the end is mathematical tranquility. The guitar solo therein is a lesson in virtuosity. One can Atone Vicariously as the whole world dies to this music. Yet the outro is the same as the intro. So back through the vortex to whence I came With Twilight As My Guide. Back to the filth I once knew. Back to the earthly realm. For human ears were never meant to witness such muscial mastery.

is that how it actually ends?

1000th like definitely worth it

you know its the best song ever made when most replayed is very beginning - have yet to see that on another song on youtube

Reminds me of Larks by King Crimson guess I have to check out this band now

The more you look at it, the more this artwork gets weird. It looks like they're carrying that thing somewhere, but which way are they walking? Look at their feet. They're not walking at all. They're just standing there, holding that thing. WHAT?

:)

Pretty sure the guy on the left is the AVGN

Interesting Fact: there are hidden 0/1 time signatures. As well as 13mm time signatures.

Took me ten approx years to really listen to this song

Man I fucking love that intro

What is the name at the first scle?? Plz

Believe it or Not, the time sig for this whole song is in *1/1*

quede aselga

Close to the edge - Yes ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ

why this album isnt on spotify :(

I like this one alot

It's sad that this album is not at Spotify. It's still one of my favorite songs from the band. Hope to see you live again🖤😢🍀

Classic. Perfect Volta Album. Then they went downhill but we got this perfect album

El grito del minuto 5:39 es lo maximo

Maybe I'm a pessimist What if all the gray clouds in the sky Would follow me home tonight? Maybe I'm an atheist What if there's no God waiting to meet me At the end of the working week? Maybe I'm just delicate Maybe I am Just not clever enough to persuade Everyone of the reasons, we're failing each other And it's not the same, not the same to me No, it's not the same, not the same to me Maybe I'm an optimist What if all the damage that was done Was never done to me? Maybe I'm a liar What if all the truths that I have told Are better left, better left unsaid? Maybe I'm just delicate And maybe I am Just not clever enough to persuade Everyone of the reasons, we're failing each other And it's not the same, not the same to me Well no, it's not the same, not the same to me What sticks to me Sticks to you like glue What sticks to me Sticks to you like glue Maybe I'm just delicate And maybe I am Just not clever enough to persuade Everyone of the reasons, we're failing each other And it's not the same, not the same to me No, it's not the same, not the same to me So I'll pack up my bags and leave Pack up my bags and leave

Learning the verse melody to myself on guitar by ear was the most magical moment of my life.

thumbs up if you remember how the first tour went for this record in 2006, where John didn't even play on the first shows (Santa Cruz/Pelatuma?)

Mars Volta on acid is fckin crazy. Me he tenido que quitar los audífonos o pausarle en momentos de lo brutal que se puede poner la experiencia. Recomendado 10\10 sobre todo el Francés the mute y amo Scabdates, en DXM es otro pedo.

I skipped over this one and I feel like an idiot now. This is solid.

I just thought I'd let everybody know that the kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like rosalynn carter.

Jacobz ladder,...right?

11:45 - woooow that sax is so awesome. Gosh I love Adrián !!

ok guys at the comments, we get it, you do drugs

7:47 : crazy solo !!!

110 pessoas que realmente tem bom gosto musical , lena ser tão poucos aqui no Brasil ....

Genius

one of the best albums ever

Yes, I'm doing it. This is a complex and dense time signature track. 0:00 to 2:17 - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4) 2:17 to 2:52 - 9/4( easier to count as 18/8) 2:52 to 3:59 - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4) 3:59 to 4:31 - 9/4 4:31 to 4:48 - 8/4 (if you say it's 4/4, would fuck it up) 4:48 to 4:59 - 10/8 + 9/8 alternating which results into a 19/8 4:59 - a 6/4 bar 5:01 - a 5/4 bar So 4:59 to 5:03 makes a 11/8. 5:03 to 5:46 - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4) 5:52 to 6:42 - no time signature at all I guess 6:42 to 7:24 - 4/4 (it's actually not 4/4 but it almost is, music isn't always precise, and neither my time signature countings are lol) 7:24 to 7:47: no time signature at all i guess x2 7:47 to 8:15- 9/4 (starting to count this here in this part is hard to assimilate that it is 9/4, cause the first moment of the counting is empty if you'd like to count it exactly as the 2 choruses before this one. But if you'd rather count it as the way it is, you can call it an 8/4 that comes before the 9/4 bars.) 8:15 to 9:38 - 17/8 (4+4+4+5) 9:38 to 9:42 - a 5/8 bar and a 7/8 bar 9:42 to 9:47 - 4/4 9:47 to 9:53 - two 9/8 bars (this one is pretty cool) 9:53 to 10:18 - 17/8 (4+4+4+5) 10:18 to 10:22 - a 5/8 bar and a 7/8 bar 10:22 to 10:27 - 4/4 10:27 to 10:38 - 9/8 10:39 to 10:41 - a 7/8 bar 10:41 to 11:02 - 4/4 11:02 to 11:19 - 2 bars of 13/8 (7+6) and 4 bars of 14/8 (7+7) 11:19 to 11:22 - a 9/4 bar 11:22 to 11:39 - 2 bars of 13/8 (7+6) and 4 bars of 14/8 (7+7) 11:39 to 11:45 - no time signature at all i guess x3 (at least purposefully) 11:45 to 14:12 - 4/4 (3+5) 14:12 to 14:37 - 17/8 (4+4+4+5) 14:37 to 14:41 - a 5/8 bar and a 7/8 bar 14:41 to 14:46 - 4/4 14:46 to 14:54 - you can count it as many ways, but I count it as 5/4+5/4+6/4+3/4+3/4 14:54 to 14:58 - 5/4 14:58 to end - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4) the counting pace changes so many times in this song, it gets very confusing. but the biggest issue is to give the chorus a time signature, it is just an uncommon piece and I can't explain why

Is the Chorus a 19/8 time signature?

10:41 OH FUCK THAT SAX I'M CUMMING

I remember thinking the beginning of this song making me feel like I was suddenly sucked into a bizarre and extra-dimensional world of mosaic alien beings and bright, unimaginable colors and shapes. Like jumping into a kaleidoscopic realm where creatures (like those from the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion") warped out of. I was pretty sober, but the music was pushing so hard at being this foreign mind-altering experience.

poor guy, he owns nothing

GREEN BRICKS!

Хуйня какая-то при чем здесь tetragrammaton?

I took lsd and told my friends that i want to listen this song ... It was a frenetic trip into a cosmic monstrous madness, haunted by terrible beings whispering or screaming the darkest truths behind the veil of our reality

omg

I took dmt and listen to this song it's safe to say my mind was fucked

Damn, I had forgotten just how amazing this album is.

read a maple map and thompson is of night

The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalyn Carter

Ive never been more frustrated than I am now... Trying to learn this on guitar and after about an hour, I'm giving up. Lol. Will forever love this song though.
