The Greatest Intro to an Album....?

Posted about 5 years ago
After the split of At The Drive many fans were left wanting more defining music and with part of the band leading way with Sparta and the rest toying with many different bands and electronics the best was still to come, after The Mars Volta swapped its members wrote music and delved into unheard corridors an album emerged slowly. De-Loused in the Comatorium was to follow an outstanding EP that added much anticipation to the bands debut album. After waiting eagerly for this album for a long time the opening 2 tracks still send shivers through me, so answer the question, is this The Greatest Intro to an Album? If not share with me your ideas of what you think is. You can only listen to one due to MOG limitations but dont forget to lissten to both!De-Loused is an outstanding debut concept album of fiction that tells the story from the first-person perspective of a drug-induced coma, in which the protagonist battles with the evil side of his mind.Obscure Lyrics and being unable to define an music genre The Mars Volta stated in interviews that the album's protagonist is based on their late friend Julio Venegas, or "Cerpin Taxt",in the story, who was in a coma for several years prior to his awakening,and was later killed after he jumped from an overpass onto an Interstate in El Paso his death was also referenced in the At the Drive-In song "Embroglio" from their album Acrobatic Tenement.Enjoy!

  1. annnna says I tend to pay more attention to album finishes than openings, but now that I think about it there are some great openings out there.
