man, this is such a nostalgia board, i might as well post this here.
damn i love the old inertiatic. it's such a different song.
and i hated the end to the old drunkship, the way it didn't have any keys. but it sounds so cool now.
why is that?

I think that as we were getting the demos (in my case at least), we liked each song we got more than the last, just because it was something new. Now is the time we can go back and evaluate each demo and see exactly what our favorites are. It seems what was lost in the demos was made up for in production quality... so its hard to pick which is better. At least it doesn't make a difference because their live show is so intense. They take it another step by not only putting so much energy into it, but by playing something different than what we hear in their recorded songs. meh.  |

thats funny.. I didnt like the old drunkship.. the new one is now my favorite mars volta song.. now i go back and listen to it.. its not even that bad... I wish the album would've left one of those Jon theodore drumming solos.. those are so badass.. now.. i'm starting to miss the old cicatriz.. for some reason it reminds me of eva.. this is what i see when i hear it  - spidey |

I miss the keys from the first Roulette Dares demo.. and the wailing from the summer demo. and I miss the crazy background vocals in Inertiatic ESP, and the piano outro. but somehow I like the new versions a lot too, I couldn't possibly choose.
also, I really like how the santa barbara version of Apparatus is so sinister.. it's great on the album, but it's a lot better live. darn, I hope they'll play somewhere near me this year again.

on deloused to me it sounds like rick turned down ikey, jon, and flea, and really showcased cedric and omar...
which is probably the rightful thing to do, granted
Cedric and Omar are The mars volta
make no mistake

spidey: well, that doesn't mean it's right for the music.. although I think the instrument levels are good otherwise..

of course, but i'm sure the ego's of cedric and omar mixed with rick rubin produced that..
..and it does kinda suck
jon theodore deserves drum solos
ikey should be heard
flea should've gotten a better solo

Spidey: yeah, I agree. I miss Ikey the most. I'm really happy that the keys during the chorus in Inertiatic ESP are loud enough to be heard  . it's nevertheless a fantastic album though.. |
