The Mars Volta - Cassandra Gemini II - III

This is just huge.

[@eamnr14]

"a bag replaced the breath of these suffocaing sheets and now when the craving calls ill scratch my itchy teeth" sick ass vocals right there

[@chinguidinsky]

I like all of Cassandra Gemini, but this part is my favorite, especially when I'm driving on the freeway, that bass line in the start is just a huge pump of adrenaline man. I start sweating just by hearing it.

[@angelbeta]

After years of thought, I've reached the conclusion that Cassandra Gemini is my favorite rock song of all time.

[@sthinelk]

Damn, I forgot about this for about 6 years through my journey of becoming a "professional"... thanks so much for allowing me to remeber what it means to be alive...

[@Sunjata0]

cant get better than this! eternal

[@KyFiGz]

Man those drums get me going

[@Exstadrenaline]

3:28 Best line of the song.... "And his MULTIPLE sons with their MANDIBLE tongues"

[@thomassmith7794]

I really cannot find anything more epic.

[@StingChameleonREMIX]

The stars and heavens shined as brightly as one thousand Suns, and gave birth to a molecular masterpiece; The Mars Volta. - Pakonisas 193 AD

[@injektileur]

epicness at its peak in the 2000s
definitely

[@cfgarza72]

Before, I didn't accept Mexico's lost war against USA, but then I realized it was a necesary condition for creating the enviroment where The Mars Volta would emerge, so it shall be done.

[@PurpleEmma05]

that inhuman scream at 1:31.... shivers....

[@Maria20sagittarius]

This heals my soul.

[@J2zday]

The change at 3:14 always get me feeling crazy! Esp. the line "And their multiple sons, with their mandible tongues"

[@KyFiGz]

Set crucified fires to petrified homes

[@exterra91]

They just fucking jam. Don't even know wtf they are saying but the musicianship is nothing short of EPIC.

[@mrhorgan]

Friggin' epic music!

[@birch23]

the buildup starting at 6:40 is EPIC.

[@exterra91]

They just fucking jam. Don't even know wtf they are saying but the musicianship is nothing short of EPIC. Who the fuck creates a thirty six minute song but TMV.

[@arkhamescapee12]

OH GOD MY BRAIN IS SQUIRTING OUT OF MY NOSRTILS!
these are my dying words: THE MARS VOLTA ARE FUCKING AWSOME!

[@Daytona_White]

[@nintendoor1]

[@deansusky]

SHIVERS

[@WolfataDoor]

@angelbeta Agreed. Perfection

[@deansusky]

Not many know this but Jeremy the master of this audio died of etc ..one main reason this album sounds great ..i lllloveee Volta but this album ,,sound is masterful cause of Jeremy he worked his life of to create such sound ,,search for ur self

[@eltambore]

[@sotool76]

Sonic LSD for the space tribe.

[@thatwasgayman]

playing at the forum in a couple weeks!!

[@preciosa15889]

5:42 to 9:35 eargasm

[@utubedestroysmytime]

0:48 literally just octaves but as always heavy as balls like bulls on parade

[@MrTooboredtocare]

Does anyone know if the guitar solos are by Omar or John?

[@moustachio334]

I think Omar shows John the song structure and let’s rip on the guitar. John knows music theory and Omar doesn’t. If you listen carefully you can tell that it’s John’s wahwah-Boss ds2-Marshall sound. Omar does the badass solo towards the end of L’Via but John plays the main solo. You can the major difference between their styles. Omar’s sound is very smooth almost like he rolls the treble or tone knob down.

[@StingChameleonREMIX]

THIS IS THE SONG THAT PLAYED WHILE THE GODS FASHIONED THE COSMOS AND THE FIRMAMENT- yes i am hi

[@Papadupulous]

The 2.0 means it's updated and improved upon; I'd say Led Zeppelin never did anything quite like this. Led Zeppelin also never wrote songs in Spanish.

[@BigLikeTheSun]

This has nothing on Nickelback!

[@ShitYrselfLilParrot]

7:40
Ahh... my skin...

[@12345678765432130]

@Physma ya lil wayne too huh

[@sad-death]

I love this album, but Heysus the rape metaphors are fucking real.
Luckily it just sounds like a cosmic journey blasting in your ears.

[@heatseeker9738]

I call this shit Hyper-Prog

[@Exstadrenaline]

They're both rock bands. That's virtually the only similarity.

[@eltambore]

I think this is all Omar.

[@roflmaokb]

@pveilleux37 A more complete sentence would be a much better "what ever your going for" response. Leave him alone he just had 3 incomplete thoughts in a row- all commenters have been there one time or another while a doob was hanging from our mouths... cuz you know .. thats what we do- why else post a comment

[@Hepatomancer]

@Physma trollololol

[@MultiDannyboy89]

This album is epic, but I think I prefer the first one out of personal taste.

[@ashleyeatsmuffins]

Yep. And often "progressive" rock, of course.

[@JimSVoit]

They don't hold a candle to Yes. /watch?v=nGZ4K-_nRSs

[@JobForAMaxboy]

No

[@hueynewt1]

Lol Led Zeppeliin? The Mars Volta isn't even comparable to Led Zeppelin. They sound nothing alike. Its also funny that you call TMV unoriginal when the majority of Led Zeppelins songs are cover songs. Go buy a clue, I'll even give you the money.
