Nov 14, 2008 - Wasn't horrible. Just a weak mix and a bad day for Cedric.. He definitely has more bad than good days but when he's good... Oh man is he good.

Nov 23, 2008 - hes a bit out of tune, but much more bearable than he used to be. The mix is bad.

zaiozaio98 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - yeah, i noticed that.he sounds like he has strep or something...

ThomasRiekki Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - I must admit that I haven't heard much from them, but from what I've heard, it doesn't sound like any jazz that I listen to, except the last 10 seconds in this piece. Can you name me a few of their jazz songs? Thanks.

Flamesfan7 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - They are a studio band and that's the long and short of it.

cicatriz79 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - look up some of Omars solo work, particularly his dutch album... the jazz hits you square in the face.

Agati93Raptors Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - drummer is INSANE, singer is just creepy

Agati93Raptors Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - did you know that FLEA played bass for them when they started

ThomasRiekki Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Cool, thanks.

TripwireAlarm Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - It's more jazz fusion or latin jazz. Some songs that have these elements would probably be:AgadezAskepiosCassandra GeminniMetatronTake The Veil Cerpin TaxtCygnus....Vismund CygnusDay Of The BaphometsThey are not straight up jazz, but you can spot the elements in the songs.

ThomasRiekki Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - I listen to a lot of jazz fusion and I personally would hardly classify this as jazz fusion. It has elements of jazz, latin, and rock, but it's not really jazz fusion. I'm sure I need to hear more from them though. I'll check those songs out though, thanks.

cicatriz79 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - wrong, he featured on a few albums mostly doing horn work :|

fergusons434 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - just cause it doesnt reflect the studio album doesnt mean its bad.. its not supposed to.

Pampermelon Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - they should've turned up Cedric's mic.

joerobot32 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - no bud, your wrong. read the liner notes for de-loused in the comatorium. flea plays bass on all but one song. justin medal johnson played upright bass on televators. flea did contribute to horn parts on frances the mute. trumpet that is.

Nov 30, 2008 - after deloused i stopped listening......ehh still decent....

KingCrimson1982 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - The Mars Volta is classified as "Experimental Rock" they have elements of jazz and latin fusion not jazz fusion and latin.

ThomasRiekki Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Sounds right to me.

natathon1979 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - I value their musicianship. but in this song, Cedric sings way too much, it sort of overshadows the music...

edisonglass27 Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - haaah the guitarist who was in both at the drive in and sparta left sparta and went to mars volta...good move buddy!
