looks like they've been playing setlists with basically none of the new crap, 180

What kind of crowd turns out to a Mars Volta show in 2022? Similar to a crowd that goes to see Tool?

2) Eriatarka (i mean holy fuck that intro riff, jon theodore in another realm entirely with latin grooves and the best sounding snare fo all time, structure of the bass part and its groove i still dont fully comprehend, transition @3:38 gives me chills, ending jam @5:13, total masterpiece)

3) Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt (@2:26 i mean jfc, one of the most orginal songs ive ever heard in my life)

4) Viscera Eyes (one of best bass grooves of all time at 6:00 that morphs into one of thebest jam sequences possible, then explosed at 8:30, one of the best buildups in any song ever made, sounds like john frusciante played all the guitar tracks for this song)

5) Day of the Baphomets (dissonant harmony arpeggio chords are unreal esp @ 4min and drum breakdown + guitar/sax solos at 4:40 is almost incomprehensible humans created this)

6) Drunkship of Lanterns (drums need i say more, might be best ending to a song they made, i think flea played bass on this song)

7) Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus/Cassandra Gemini (combining them bc basically same thematic elements, transition and groove @8:44 speaks for itself on Cygnus)

8) Tie: This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed (haunting bass drum combo and underrrated guitar solo) / Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) (2nd half @ 3:57 on is near perfection)

9) Tie: Metatron/Wax Simulacra(not a fan of pridgen as drummer but he crushed this with his ghost notes and actually not playing in parts like before chorus @ 1:12 on Metatron and his intro to WS is simply retarded i think the one time he was better option than Jon Theodore)

10) Dyslexicon (simply brilliant, have never really heard a song like this where the synth is really moving the song along, chorus and breakdown kinda sucks though)

too clunky

actually i forgt how sick the middle part was iirc and that chuggy riff syncopated latter third

damn they are a fucking sick group so many 1800000 songs

i think i heard this for the first time fried out of my mind day after ayahuasca in the amazon while in a hammock

Cedric does some really creative melodic shit at 2:15 till the breakdown midway

Pidgin is so fucking awful the more i listen to this album, transitions with straight 16th and 32nd note snares @ 3:10, imagine Jon handling this part, Tom has zero creativity , bass line after is decent towards end but honestly this song pisses me off the more i listen to it bc its so good but half baked - all this buildup for a dissonant At-The Drive In riff at 5:15 LMAO

Would say its their worst shit but then there's an entire Octahedron album worse than this that this should be on; edit: Askepios is so much worse than this nm Tom is literally retarded Im 100% convinced i could come up with a better drum part on both of these with a shitty Roland set and ableton not flame
