Your Band Sucks, especially if your band is The Mars Volta
This week, Dr. David Thorpe has undergone the horrible challenge of listening to the entirety of the latest Mars Volta record, Frances The Mute. Witness his annoyance as he writes a real-time, minute-by-minute account of his Mars Volta listening experience:
“Now it’s three minutes and ten seconds, and the song is over. But wait! The song is six minutes long, according to my stereo. So what do I hear now? Feedback, electronic noises, and filler noise crap! Jeez, the song started out so conventionally that I was getting worried that I wouldn’t get my fair share of stupid, pointless, infuriating noise. I’m sucked into their fiendish strategy yet again: even though the next song is probably going to be as bad as this one, I’m praying for it to begin so I don’t have to listen to any more pointless noise.”
Mars Volta fans rejoice, somebody has finally listened to that record all the way through! Click here to read about it.
