Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Perfect TMVFirst I got Deloused, and then, starving for more of this incredible mind-bending sound, I got Tremulant and was pleased. This EP is an incredible example of the Mars Volta's monumental skills. This album is replete with blazing soundscapes and incredible vocals. The songs on Tremulant (just three) have the same sound of Deloused material but with less experimental song structures. Omar's writing and playing astounds. Cedric's otherworldly vocals carry every track. Jon Theodore's drumming is, as usual, the best. The keyboard and bass add just two more incredible layers to the masterpiece. And Jeremy Ward's (RIP) sound collages open and close the album perfectly. SONGS: Cut That City- Opens with a rather long and hypnotic sound ...

It's amazing to put this album on and realize that it came out a relatively short four years ago. How far the Volta have come in that short time! That being said, nothing like _Tremulant_ had come out before it. From the beginning notes of "Cut That City," you hear an explosive mix of electro-whatever, dub, and especially salsa, salsa, salsa--all heavied up to put you in a spin the likes of which no other music can offer. All the songs on here are awesome. The reason the album is not a perfect five like all their others is that this is them still finding their stride (if only all of us could find our strides so strikingly!!!). Eva Catherine Gardner definitely holds her own ... Read More: Rating: - Better than Tool???...It feels sacreligious to say it, but I would trade most of my favorite bands to perpetuate Mars Volta. This band is a racy mix of Jazz, Metal pop rock and 70's rock. They craft classic riffs but transform the average into art with their jazz improvs. This is the serious fan's band! Rating:  - not a great bargainThis disk is good, but too short for the money. value = 2 stars music = 4 stars average = 3 stars Buy it used...unless you want to "vote" for the band and/or make sure they get a cut of the profits. Rating: - Tremulant EP ****This cd is amazing. I give it 4 stars for one reason: Have you heard of "De-Loused In the Comatorium" or "Frances the Mute"? That's why I give it 4 stars. As good as this EP was, it is not quite as good as their full length Cd's. This band is one of my favorites and I highly recommend you get this album. Not very well known among fans, but great to listen to! |
