Hi, I'm Dean Wolfe, Canadian prog rock guitar teacher on UA-cam, and in this video I react to Tetragrammaton by The Mars Volta, my 3rd track that i've ever heard by this super interesting prog rock band.

Thanks man, I corrected the link in the description now.....and pinned this
not many people react to TMV, loving it !
This album is my personal fav. If you dig this far out sound check out "Viscera Eyes" or "Day of the Baphomets", both off this record.
The fan favorite album (other than Deloused) is Francis the Mute. Please check out the first track "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus".
Glad you're digging the Volta. I feel like they're a standout band of this century for sure.
Justin Bennett
Yes, indeed.
I'll second Day of the baphomets, for Juan's intro alone.
paula Bedlam is a great album too, but since it doesn't have Jon Theodore, it could never measure up to their previous stuff for me. It's such a different feel overall, in the production too - you can hardly even hear Ikey anymore. But to each their own, of course!
I couldn't have said it better. Thanks for saying it. Bedlam In Goliath is an underrated record too.
When I was a meth addict bedlam was my shit.
Mars Volta is pretty damned original. I can only handle in small doses. Unless I'm lifting at the gym. The lyrics are poetic as hell
I was obsessed with them for a good 2 years though, the guitarist has solo stuff too, He's a talent. The singer is uniquely gifted - that shrill voice and the WRITING man, the writing.
Ever heared of opium?
They actually got John Frusciante to play guitar for all but one of the songs on this album.
Yea micro doses may help you digest them ;)
Bedlam is the only album I can't get through in one sitting, it gets so intense that halfway through I'm basically sweating xD
Amputechture is the pride of my record collection. I tended to ignore it when I was younger but it's become the quintessential volta album to me. It just has all the elements I enjoy about this great band, glad I got to see them live at least once.
The poor bass player Juan is an absolute monster, he recently had a bike accident though and it looks like he's having to learn to walk again. Really sad, he was in the band racer x back in the day too. GREAT bass player
Damn I didn't know about that. Havnt kept up with the old band members in years. They really changed the way I listen to music or even thought about music in relation to life.
Yeah when I first heard the album, I had a hard time listening to it, but now 10 years later I'm finding more and more to love about it. The lyrics are especially potent in this album for some reason, maybe because it's all about religion which just seems like the perfect subject for a TMV album. Vermicide is the real standout for me, but Tetragrammaton and Day of the Baphomets come in close to the top.
So glad someone finally reacted to this masterpiece, I'm subscribing
Thanks!
I played this song at a pool hall. The next time I went there it was gone from the jukebox. Most hilarious thing I've seen.
I actually did the same thing once, somebody paid extra to interrupt the song halfway through to play some boring country track. 😂
Glad you're giving them a deep listen. Their "progress" knows no bounds... The brain child of Omar Rodriguez Lopez; He's the mastermind. Like a Hispanic Zappa, less shredding and more effects. Glad they intrigued you
Plus I agree with Justin Bennetts previous comments
You should react to L'via L'Viaquez next, very latin prog salsa/jazz kind of vibe
my goodness this is a dive in. props for giving this a listen, not the most approachable mars volta track!
I don't think you do reactions to live shows but this song is from ONE of the guitarist's other bands and is one of the best examples of great live prog in the 2010s. ua-cam.com/video/m6ZgytCOBw8/v-deo.html
I honestly feel like you have to sit down and listen to a Mars Volta album from start to finish. I definitely have my favorite songs, but when it’s your first time, you gotta take the full journey, brother. Roll up a fattie and pick and album. Have fun.
somni naught
I agree... you are right. But I’m being selfish when I say I hope we get to see the reactions. It’s one of mu favorite things in this world.
Have fun
Agreed...Don't rush it...let it settle on its own...give yourself to it...I promise you...you will not be
disappointed
Glad more people are listening to Volta. Volta has been my go to band since they first hit the scene. The balance between order and chaos is beautiful with every album that bears their name. Keep it going. You really can’t go wrong with an album or song. Cassandra Gemini Is probably the best ear food you could ever jam in there. Frances the mute (song) is a great one. For something a different you may try zed and two naughts or soothsayer. Goliath is a song that you would march into war with armed with only swords. Have fun. They’re all fantastic.
" The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalind Carter" - Never forget
I always recommend this song to other people first hearing Volta. Your the first to actually listen to Tetragrammaton. Big Time Fripp vibes in the opening riff. 🤘
It's amazing to me that this is the song you ended up going with. TMV fans don't fuck around. When im turning people onto TMV this is toward the end of the journey I set people on, along with a lot of Francis the mute. But I think you seem to be someone who is willing to go down the rabbit hole, so good on you. Subbed!
The guitarist and sole composer Omar Rodriguez Lopez is Puertorican so you were close with thinking of Cuba, but not quite there :)
His musical hero is Larry Harlow, a salsa pianist legend, so it's pretty clear there is a lot of Latin American music in his vibes, indeed.
learning this song by ear was a BITCH, glad you picked up on the crimson vibes, omar loves his chromatics and dissonance much like fripp. omar rodriguez lopez is the sole and only composer in mars volta, he is much like frank zappa, total genius - if you have any interest in his solo material i highly recommend asco que (the song had a longer title but youll find it with those two words, short and punchy progressive psychedelic much heavier on his latin roots)
oh another tidbit - john frusciante plays all the guitars here, omar would play the songs live but preferred to use session musicians for the recordings because he can judge the performances more objectively
I suggest you to try At The Drive-In - "Quarantined" or "Non-zero Possibility" (the avant/post-hardcore group singer-founder Cedric Bixler-Zavala and the guitarist-cofounder Omar Rodriguez-Lopez came from). Their style as ATDI was the embryo of The Mars Volta music...
p.s. latino vibes are pretty common in The Mars Volta music, probably because they’re from New Mexico...
Antonio Maraspin they’re from El Paso
They're Texan, brotha
I liked and subscribed before even watching... just for doing this. It’s been a long requested track for quite sometime now and you’re the first. Will be back for my reaction to your reaction. 😉
Cool hope you like it
Dean Wolfe
Hopelessly unique. Love that! The Mars Volta are special. Six albums that transcend and inspire... evolve and transform from stanza-to-stanza, song-to-song and album-to-album. There are so many great songs. I’m sure you will be steered to the second album, Frances the Mute and back to their debut, Deloused in the Comatorium. But I will go against the grain and recommend either Metatron or Cassavettes.
Keep bringing the Mars reax... I’ll bring friends.
yesssss, im so glad you did my favorite song!! gonna watch it now :)
The 2 main guys of the band, Omar and Cedric, are Latinos. Born and raised in El Paso TX, so they had a lot of exposure to Latin music. Very unique style and none of their songs sound the same. It took me a little bit to warm up to them but I love them now. This was definitely a change from their original band At the Drive-In.
i love how their songs are so diverse- no sitting still or getting boring with these guys
Absolutely amazing 👏
Subscribed because of Volta and Tool
Right on. More of both soon!
Magnificently unique band!! I took a friend of mine to a live show. He wasn’t familiar with MV. after the show, all he said was “ROCK N ROLL OVERLOAD, WOW!”
I'd love to see them live!
I think I counted 8-9 band members on the stage. Was awesome 😎
Dean Wolfe
They will be making a comeback. It’s just a matter of when. So you’ll get your chance!
all time fav song.
And this song is incredible
Omar Rodriguez Lopez is probably my favorite modern guitarist. His playing is always interesting and unique.
Have to say, out of most of the channels who react/review music I really like your format the best (leaving the music playing and typing your thoughts to read meanwhile)
Also, this song is easily one of my favorites from the Mars Volta - great pick
Cool, thanks!
Thank you for reacting. You’ll always have a view, a like, and a comment for TMV reactions from me lol Subscribed 😁
Thanks!
Tomas Pridgen killed on drums.
D R
he definitely did.
Thomas Pridgen is a monster, you're right. However, Jon Theodore actually wrote and recorded the drums for this album.
Jeff Seacat
This is truth and often forgotten. I was just acknowledging that he is indeed a beast...
You should do some Godspeed You! Black Emperor: 09-15-00, Storm, Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls or We Drift Like Worried Fire
i love this album, lots of back and fourth with guitar and the sax, their second LP (Frances the Mute) has some awesome wind instrumentation too
Same wind instrumentalist from Frances until and including Bedlam in Goliath. Adrian Terrazas Gonzalez!
I'm sure this wasn't an easy listen, but thanks for doing it anyway! This band has such an epic, unique sound but it's definitely not for everyone. You should check out "Cygnus Vismund Cygnus" if you're willing to do more! It's from a different album than the songs you've done thus far.
Totally digging it. Will react to a LOT more of this band.
@@deanwolfechannel Subscribed!
Yes! I love when people start reacting to TMV
Great reaction but please keep the Mars Volta vidoeo coming ?
More for suuuure
Dean Wolfe
Excellent!!! You’ve got some fans. They’ll grow with Mars. 👌🏼👍🏼
Love these reaction reviews please keep them up. It's a lovely way to listen to music especially in these times. If you do one more Mars Volta track, please do Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) from their first record. I think it's one of their absolute finest tracks. It funnels their trademark chaos into imo one of their most accessible songs and the dynamics of the song are just begging for good sound systems/headphones. Keep up the good work Mr Wolfe
thanks...will do
I remember an interview where Cedric made mention of a story out of South America (Brazil?) in reference to this song, where a Sister of the Catholic church had epileptic seizures during a sermon and the clergy had her confined. Later lashing her to a horizontal cross and had 'exorcisms' performed on her. A couple days later they shoved a rag in her mouth to stifle the screams. She died shorty after.
"In the end they just gagged me to make Him come out"
barbaric
3:16 Texan. They're from El Paso (if you follow American politics, in the recent Democratic party primary, Beto O'Rourke is actually an acquaintance. He played bass in a band with the lead singer of TMV back in the 80's). But they're way into Latin jazz and it shows up as a major influence on their sound, _especially_ on this album. This is one of the albums where they do go into Spanish-language lyrics, as well, on a few songs. "Asilos Magdalena" is... special.
do i ever follow US politics this past year. I'm in Canada but we are such close neighbours. I feel for the pain you are going through right now..peace
Wow, I can't imagine hearing this for the first time again, and not having been an ATDI fan and not having heard Tremulant, Deloused,and Frances beforehand. I hope you enjoyed it.
Yes and Asia, I dig Howe. Yes was amazing.
That guitar tone at 12:38 (this video) is ridiculously fantastic. Also the part at 15:45 is like being sucked into a wormhole
It's crazy this is John Frusciante from RHCP playing guitar on this album
Dude, in all honesty... You should just review Deloused in the Comatorium (The entire album).
Ash Drums
Yuuuuuuuup!!!
I will.
Dean Wolfe
🤪🤪🤪🤪
It’s criminal there hasn’t been a Mars Volta follow-up to this yet... 😌
Sooooooooooooooo many great choices....
Goliath
Viscera Eyes
Cicatriz ESP
Cassandra Gemini
Soooon
Dean Wolfe
Awesome, Dean! (I’ve still enjoyed the others, I’m just a Mars lifer). 😀👍🏽
here we go, a real dive.
Frank Gehry is a perfect comparison
React lvia vazquez men
Ten mins in
Cuban rock? I think Omar (who is like the writer of this album) lived in Cuba for a bit.
Omar and Cedric are from New Mexico, so...
Antonio Maraspin
El Paso, TX
Omar is originally from Puerto Rico, salsa music is his biggest musical influence
Yes I know this, however I think I read that Omar lived in Cuba and Amsterdam during the 00's.
I liked how in other videos you compared TMV to modern art rock. Omar is actually more of an artist than a musician. He has no classical training, and has said that people only see him as a musician because that's his public persona. He makes a lot of visual art. He also has more side projects than I can list here. One in particular, done with cedric and zach hill is very much "abstract art" I don't advise reviewing it on your channel, however you should give it a listen on your own time. Warren oats and Half Kleptos are the most listenable tracks imo,. Its not noise, its just very....avent garde.
just realized i didnt name the album. its called Cryptoamnesia. By el groupo nuevo de omar rodriguz lopez
"I'm not a musician! I'm just a guy who likes things!" - Omar.
This is Puerto Rican / Mexican / American Prog Rock.
Ok, the Puerto Rican aspect I keep overlooking, thanks.
You mentioned a few times really enjoying the guitarist, I would recommend you look up a side project of his here on UA-cam. “Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group Live Los Angles(WIP) Part II” really stands out to me.
thanks, will do
There’s a huge Zappa influence in this song I feel.
i don't know that much Zappa, other than it's pretty avante garde and he's a monster player. Will probably do some reacting to him in the future.
Dude sounds like the radio
haha...I grew up with radio voices all around.
John Frusciante playing the guitar parts that Omar wrote
Hey dean what cha think about Magma ?
Sounds like a band I should react to.
Dean Wolfe for sure you mentioned in one of the volta reactions that it’s like learning a language, well Magma was a prof band that did invent their own language
Dean Wolfe also magma was an influence to TMV
It's sounds so chaotic, but every note is correct. I you try to play along, you'll play horribly wrong, because the note aren't random.
Thr drums are literally impossible, only Thomas Pridgen can one trick it.
@@noopt19 Jon Theodore* 👊🏻
Hmm while I really like the later albums, Deloused had such a raw approach and was a bit more linear than the later stuff. Think it just all comes together a bit better than these albums.
I'll be listening to a lot more of TMV
Dean Wolfe
I hope with us 😏😉🤞🏼👌🏼
Latino prog. None better than the Mars Volta in this genre.
That excites me because I've been into the latin jazz fusion genre
None better? Do you ever hear Santana, the band of Carlos Santana and its mid 70s stuff, like "Borboletta" album?
@@deanwolfechannel Try L'Via l"Viaquez
Just his hits. Ironically I'm not as into his brand of latin rock.
It's not Cuban Prog, it's Puerto Rican!
Puerto Rican Prog, sounds awesome!
