介绍:
A open group for those who's favourite Mars Volta album is Amputechture or just for fans who want to show there appreciation for such an underrated album.
This is a group dedicated to the album "Amputechture" by The Mars Volta.The album seems to be their most under appreciated and controversial album amongst Volta and music fans alike.And therefore necessary to unite fans of the album and/or the band to show their appreciation for this great piece of work.Feel free to talk about whatever you want,be it about The Mars Volta or anything else that's on your mind.Also because it's a fairly new group,could throw around this link http://www.last.fm/group/Amputechture it would be much appreciated. For those of you who haven't heard the album for whatever reason listen to it here for free on Last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/The+Mars+Volta/Amputechture

http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/11414755/review/11545043/amputechture
"The long version: Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez dissolved At the Drive-In, the most promising punk-rock band of the late Nineties, then formed a sprawling progressive-rock ensemble that recorded two albums composed of frenetic multipart suites at a time when doing so amounted to commercial suicide. The short version: The Mars Volta got away with murder.
But on the band's new Amputechture, there's no such thing as the short version. Singer Bixler-Zavala and guitarist Rodriguez-Lopez work in the intimidating, uncompromising tradition of mid-Seventies Yes and King Crimson: Three songs here exceed ten minutes and are crammed with quantum-physics-level time signatures, battle-to-the-death jousts between guitar and horns and Bixler-Zavala's hummingbird keening. But where the music of those classic Bach-rockers had moments of pastoral clarity, the Mars Volta favor unrelenting density, often through free-jazz clatter and Afro-Cuban percussion onslaughts.
In true mid-Seventies mode, Amputechture is split into halves, and a sedate track introduces three epics. It's on the second half where the Mars Volta catch fire. The lovely ballad "Asilos Magdalena" is followed by "Viscera Eyes," where Rodriguez-Lopez and guest guitarist (and Yes fanatic) John Frusciante melt their fret boards like Robert Fripp. In "Day of the Baphomets," a furious salvo of percussion interrupts a vicious, vintage jam that could have been on Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
Just a few years ago, it was inconceivable that one of the best American rock bands would make its name on updating prog-rock. But then, what distinguishes most of the best rock bands from the ordinary ones is fearlessness, and the Mars Volta have no shortage of that. "
