The Mars Volta – The Bedlam In Goliath [2008]
This is a band that people have recommended to me but I’ve never really given the time to listen to. Perhaps its because members in this band were part of an emo influenced project called At the Drive-In prior to forming The Mars Volta. This is a pretty major release however and I hope by listening to it i will change my ridiculous pre-judgmental opinion of them.
The Bedlam in Goliath is the fourth full-length studio album by American progressive rock band The Mars Volta, scheduled for release on January 29, 2008 through Universal Motown Records. Having previously contributed the artwork to the 2006 release of Amputechture, Jeff Jordan was again brought in to handle the illustrations for the album.

Don’t get their appeal tbh. Their music sounds like Carlos Santana which I loathe…
You’re completely out of touch if you think that ATDI was “emo”. How ridiculous – can you at least get some people who know something about music to review it?

And you’re completely out of touch if you think ATDI weren’t very much influenced by Emo music mate
Its hard to categorize them but i choose to call them emo, deal with it.
they aint emo. if you think theyre emo you dont know sh*t about music.

Take it or leave it, at least they posted it even though they thought they might not like it.
ATDI: post-hardcore, rock, indie, alternative, emo,
Note the last word.
Less flaming mr emo
ATDI is post-hardcore/alternative. Choosing to call them emo is just as dumb as labeling them hip-hop.
Progressive rock
Experimental rock
Psychedelic rock
they aint emo not even close.
“The music of At the Drive-In is very complex and sometimes unwilling to classify in a single genre. The amount of influence early emo and post hardcore like Rites of Spring, Cap’n Jazz and Fugazi had on their sound is undeniable.”
lala
Certainly not emo
Clover Field Screener out, if anyone wants to take credit

hey thank you for posting the latest from mars volta.
whats with all the knots already. if you like it, down load it. emo or not (defiantly not) whats the difference its good music.it amazes me that these sites are still providing free access with all the slack they have to endure.
keep up the good work and thank you again and again.
peace
i love this band and this cd it great. oh and on the topic of the cloverfield i think most of will believe it when we see it
uh…yea. These guys came long before emo was even classified for one…
for two they are far from emo….look if you are going to post music fine and appreciated, but save your opinions unless they are informed…If you are going to post an opinion then make an effort to know about whatever it is your posting…or you know…just post it without making random facts up
@25
Thats not cloverfield
That’s an actual movie. Not misnamed.
Heh, yeah ATDI were around like.. what 7 years before “emo” was even used as a descriptor. If you want to give at the drive in an accurate genre description, then they’re known as “post-hardcore”.
The Mars Volta are pretty far removed from ATDI too. They are much more progressive with a very different sound than ATDI. They are also incredible live (saw em in march 2006, best live show i’ve seen to date). This album is fantastic, and is a great introduction to TMV. Give it a go, then go out and buy it if you like it.
er, make that march 2007. Their Amputechture tour

The term emo has changed meanings over the years, what it used to mean is closer to what ATDI was, but not the best description of their sound in a modern sense. Actually not even close if you use the modern terminology for Emo.

Saw these guys with Tool once.. terrible.
just like the terms ‘punk’ & more recently ‘alternative rock’, ‘emo’ has turned into a blanket description for mediocre bands that have strayed –very far– from the original term’s aesthetic.
dude, if you’re gonna say they were ‘_highly_ influenced by emo’, then at least append a few more influences there, because clearly this band’s music spans an increasing spectrum of genres & because this statement even more pointedly indicates your ‘ridiculous[ly ] pre-judgmental opinion of them’. and it’s hardly a qualifier too, seeing as _every_ post-emo band will have heard about emo.
i mean, try juxtaposing de-loused, their most punk album, with say any red jumpsuit apparatus & consider listening to the lyrics & guitar/drumwork. which one is actually a progressive album & which one is peppered with words like ‘misery’ or ’suffering’ or songs about lost teenage love
oops. i realize that the ‘highly influenced by emo’ tag was for ATDI, my bad. ppl get worked up by ridiculous statements you know?
but the persistence of atdi not to confine themselves in one genre music — post-hardcore which isn’t emo by a long shot — shows that they aren’t even close to what emo was even before the most recent wave.

lol ok fy. fyi this is a rls blog (as the domain name might imply), we dont do in-depth essays about every single post.
I called them emo-influenced, which is in no way a wrong statement…so no reason to start nitpicking.
BEST CD EVER. EVER. EVER. no one can touch this.
haha i’m not even a big fan of tmv anymore. in fact if this is anything like ampu OR ftm, im gonna lose faith in them already. not a big fan of rehashed 70s music
k well just go ahead and download it and don’t blame me when you get blown away
o snap
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5A39H6VJ
they have the worst lyrics in history. nothing makes sense. they just choose random complex and unusual words and throw them together. horrible.
worst most pretentious band ever.
Ive heard a few mars volta tracks, and liked 1 or 2.
i gott say though ATDI WAS NOT EMO. lol and i barely even listen to them and i know that much…
@50… lets not bring that up again k thanks
ATDI was the quintessence of post hardcore, not emo. most post hardcore songs are mistook for emo. i dont wanna detail out but there’s a distinctive difference for the two
RiNgDiNgDoNg, you need to read more literature to know some of the stuff they’re saying. everything has a meaning in mars volta songs, its called concept albums
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, arguably the mastermind behind the post-hardcore revolutionary At the Drive-In is becoming quite a celebrated musician in today’s society. At the Drive-In is credited as one of those bands that changed everything with their final release, Relationship of Command; and has, once again, pushed the musical boundaries to their edge with the Progressive Rock outfit The Mars Volta. From their debut De-Loused in the Comatorium which gained them considerable acclaim and attention, to the harshly criticized Amputechture, they’ve always kept their sound inconsistent, revolutionary, and inventive. It seems Rodriguez-Lopez is one of those musician masterminds that comes along once in a blue moon.
See, if The Mars Volta were anything less than amazing, they’d choose to ride the sound they stumbled across on Tremulant and De-Loused in the Comatorium for a hugely-successful career in which they have to lose all musical integrity by caving into what the record company wants and what the public wants. They could do this, and sell out; or they could release their sophomore album Frances the Mute. Arguably as good as Comatorium, if not better, they challenged their listener and forced a new, more dynamic, extreme, and progressive side on the listener. The album still had that large Latin influence, (fast speeds, sound effects, high-pitched spastic vocals, Spanish lyrics) but incorporated a more Pink Floyd aura into their music. Then Amputechture was released, and they once again challenged the listener with a more mellow, melodic release that tamed down the Latin influences and took up a more Alternative style. Unfortunately, it was rather lengthy, a bit boring, and a bit too out of the box for The Mars Volta. It received harsh criticism from critics, but the fans ate it up. After a lengthy break (for Volta standards), they’re back; with the highly-anticipated The Bedlam in Goliath.
If you thought that the Volta would never make another successful release, you should check your head. This is a group of guys in Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez that have been musically inconsistent since their At the Drive-In days. Acrobatic Tenement sounded nothing like In/Casino/Out, and Casino sounded nothing like Relationship of Command. For the Mars Volta, De-Loused in the Comatorium sounded nothing like Frances the Mute, and Frances sounded nothing like Amputechture. So, it’s easy to say we expected The Mars Volta could put out a revolutionary album that would be much better than their last. The really lengthy interludes of Amputechtureare taken away for more complex song structures, more action, more rock, more guitar, more extremely-fast drumming, and higher-pitched vocals. The Bedlam in Goliath also includes more of their Latin influences as noticed by their song titles. This is definitely Volta’s toughest, loudest, and rowdiest record, as not one song is a laid-back quiet track in the vein of Televators. The songs often change completely in the middle of the track, and go into a wild guitar solo or drum solo, completely changing the time signature and the rhythm of the song. So, while it only has twelve tracks it feels as if there is almost twenty. The album is still lengthy, but every second of the album is interesting and keeps you enthralled as Zavala tells you the disturbing story surrounding the occurrences surrounding the Soothsayer, backed up by Lopez’s frantic riffs and the new drummer Thomas Pridgen’s furious drumming.
The biggest change here is the change in Zavala’s vocal performance. His vocals are pushed up into a higher level, as he pushes them to the edge, screaming at the highest pitch I’ve ever heard on record. He’s done some major work to his vocal style, and honestly, this extreme vocal style is, in my opinion, the best vocal performance Zavala’s ever put on record. It fits the crazed style of The Bedlam in Goliath well, and matches the paranoid style of the lyrical storyline. They also seem to want some more commercial exposure; as the single Wax Simulacra clocks in at a radio-friendly 2:39, has a more standard song structure, a catchy chorus line, and the guitar work, drumming, and the lack of the Latin influences in this song makes it easily the most accessible The Mars Volta song ever.
But don’t let that fool you-The Bedlam in Goliath may be the most accessible Volta album yet; but it’s still as fun and cryptic as ever. This album makes you want to listen the whole way through-it grabs you and doesn’t release you until the end. Along the way, tracks like Goliath, Agadez, Ouroborus, and Soothsayer stand out as some of the best Volta tracks ever written. Goliath, for example, is one of those tracks that you want to turn up real, real loud when it comes onto your iPod on shuffle. It’s catchy, makes you want to jam out in public despite looking like a complete mental case. Agadez is a slow-burning, multiple-personality track that changes rhythms and styles fast and executes them well with the more keyboard-style than the guitar-oriented approach of Goliath. This is one of those tracks that makes you want to swoon from side to side, or Ouroborus, which is one of the most extreme Volta tracks ever written; it changes dynamics quickly and successfully, being a psychotic-sounding Latin charged track for a few minutes before lulling into a quiet bridge, before exploding back again. Or, Soothsayer which is a haunting, dark track that captures the eerie storyline surrounding The Soothsayer well that includes tons of unorthodox instruments and sounds, and crafts a perfectly documented track that closes the book on the album; and it’s not even the last track.
Yet, if you didn’t like De-Loused in the Comatorium or Frances the Mute there is little chance you’ll like this album; in fact, it might irritate you more. The rhythms are faster, the style is more Latin, it’s more haunting, cryptic, and pretentious, plus Zavala’s vocals are higher, louder, and more prevalent than in past albums. But if you’re a Volta fan, that’s all the reasons you need to go out and buy The Bedlam in Goliath isn’t it? This is one well-done, produced, and executed album; as this would have been deemed a failure after De-Loused because it’s so different and De-Loused is so good. After Amputechture, we all wanted to see Volta release a more accessible album that was heavier, more aggressive, and better as a whole; and that’s what we got. While there’s a few issues still around, like the album’s quick shot for the jugular with the opening track Aberinkula (which is only an average track at best), a seemingly needless track after Soothsayer, which should have ended the album. But still, Volta fans can rejoice in the streets; as Lopez and Zavala have successfully delivered the goods this time around. The Bedlam in Goliath is everything promised, and more.

Pre Judging music by restrictive catagorization is retarted!…”Emo” is NOT some “new” kind of music…Its short for ,EMOTIVE/EMOTIONAL,and well,pretty much every genre under the sun has “emo” artists,its kind of a BIG part of music,and the blues is pretty damn “emo” if you think of it…People like to right off every band for being “emo” as if its a bad thing,when the REAL problem is Mall Punk Fashion Pop…Just listen to My chemical romance,good charlotte,Hedley ect ect ect,and TELLL me you can’t tell the HUUUGE difference between those shyte azz bands,and At The Drive In…A.T.D.I were friggin’ explosive hardcore with a funk and soul influence,and it seems like if anyone rights a song these days,that is not just a hook,or a chant,or something mindless,they all get lumped into being called “emo”,and IF your gunna even CALL them “emo” than there should be NO reason why you would than call Mars Volta “Progressive Rock”,cuz THEY actually have a more “emo/soft” sounding side to them than A.T.D.I did,so if nothing else,BOTH there bands should be considered Progressive Hardcore,with whatever other influence they see fit
…
…Anyhow,of course it doesnt matter if any of us disagree with you,but your going to have to expect it when you don’t just stick to reviewing/posting,and you add sillie little personal comments about stuff you obviously don’t know much about!;-)
@49…Orrr,Maybe you just don’t know what was ment by those words in the first place,cuz you lack imagination,or you don’t know the writer personally,and that way lyrics mean allot more to everyone else who listens to them,rather than having overly simplistic tones… …Music is art right???,Is every piece of art a clear and uniform offering?I think NOT…LOL
At least it’s no Sparta’s lead singer’s solo stuff. Unless that’s your thing.
Christ, if you guys ripping on reeged don’t realize that post-hardcore and early emo were linked, I’m surprised you’re old enough to have heard of At the Drive-In. There are a lot of snarky arrogant comments on here from people pretending to know how to definitively label music. Hope I never walk into whatever pretentious coffee shop/record store/hipster bar you end up working at so you can roll your eyes at people with less cred than you.
Do you people even have positive discussions about music anymore? It’s like albums nowadays are like an article of clothing or tool to start a pretentious argument. You make people who have lived through every genre listed on this page so far, actually want to mislabel a band because they know it’ll get a rise out of you. These stupid labels probably account for so many bands that don’t even bother to be creative and just use laid out guidelines to fit in the genre they think will sell the best for the most part.
Last time I checked, everyone knows what At the Drive-In sounds like, and everyone knows what the Mars Volta sounds like. Any mis-labelling done on this site is not important because a) They’re not misleading millions of clueless people, both bands have a variety of influences, and b) the guy who mis-labelled isn’t doing it to make people mad, he’s TRYING TO HELP BY GENERALLY DESCRIBING THEM, for the tiny amount of people who have no clue whatsoever what ATDI or Mars Volta sounds like. and the comparison to if he called them hip-hop is just stupid, no one is that dense and no one buys that you actually believe that both errors would be in the same ballpark.
I’m not even downloading this album right now, just knew if I checked the comments I could count on Mars Volta fans to overanalyze something ridiculous. Give it a rest robots, if you’re too stuck up to ignore other labels just call it rock, it’s the most accurate and would save your angry little fingers some work. Not that I hate Mars Volta, I’m just on dialup right now
also it’s kind of funny how nowadays no matter how good a band is, it’s not going to matter because they’re admired/hated by a base of empty people who see music as a hobby or image, actually enjoying the music seems secondary for some people
To be quite honest, before this album, I was not a fan of TMV, despite really liking ATDI.
After this album… I’m still not a fan of TMV. I made it through 2 songs and just threw in the white flag and deleted it.
# 59 GiveItARestLabelNazis
That is so true man.I downloaded nirvana and to be honest i never read the comments because it’s always people obsessed with making their opinions known.That day it was how bad Nirvana sucks.ATDI emo?Can you guys be any more out of touch?They say emo on the news for christ’ sake.
There are maybe a maximum of 3 people in this thread that understood the original emo comparison. Emo is a subset of the 80’s hardcore genre, where the vocalists started to slow down and sing about more emotional things but still with the backing hard punk vibe. This took place in the 80’s/early 90’s.
2nd Wave emo took place in the mid 90’s, with more jangly arpeggiated chords, the odd screaming but mostly slower indie rock kind of vocals. The emo categorised today and known by most is a bandwagon that these kind of bands like My chemical romance have jumped on and and has nothing to do with the emo of old.
I’m a bit ATDI fan, and the emo spirit is definitely very obvious in them, and post hardcore while an adequate genre to stick them in doesn’t really mean something. ATDI at the time pretty much were head and shoulders around most other bands and creating completely different music, guitar playing, lyrics and vocals.
I haven’t listened to this album yet but Mars Volta as a project has just seemed to have turned all the out there components that ATDI had into a scrambled back slapping 3 hour jam mess.
I did feel I had to comment on this because of people believing that a fox news use of the word emo classified a whole genre. Emo was actually an important, deep and very interesting genre that’s been abused in the last 5 years, much like how all the ‘punk’ bands of today bear no relevance to the stooges, misfits, black flag etc.

im from el paso (where the band is from), and have seen plenty of their shows….DEFINITELY not emo. anyone who thinks they are emo doesn’t deserve to listen to them.
@55
actually i do know what most of the words they use mean. it’s just the conjunction of ambitecture abfulessence psycho-cinematically-scenarioed-too-contrite geniusness of the context i dont get. as most people dont.
read some of their lyrics, seriously, on the last album nothing made any sense, not even poetically.
most of it sounds like some mescalin fueled aldous huxley ‘doors of perception’ mixed in with them taking the pi.ss out of those who buy their cr.ap
i like the music, but the lyrics are just f.u.cked to hell. most of the time he sounds like he’s having a wakened-lobotomy.
Can someone upload again the release on RS ?
Thanks !
best album of the year so far.lol but seriously it is very good. probably going to be one of the best of this year.
if you like rock you might wanna check out “the black angels – Passover”
Since discussion is music related:
Further case in point, Nirvana were grunge, not pop, but were they pop in 1992?, when the music was “pop”ular? no. EMO = EMO, not anything else.
a) not interested, but my teen daughter is;
b) I agree, no labels;
c) just because the name of a music genre appears to be an abbreviation, doesn’t mean the non-truncated word accurately describes the music itself. i.e. EMO music doesn’t include artists like Kate Bush, even though she was emotional and emotive.
d) for the record, I do not like Emo. Had to sit through Bright Eyes once, and was close to death.
e) thanks for the links. Sendspace was at full capacity so I couldn’t download from there! crikey.
peeps
They are more influenced by Abraxas era Santana, Jazz and Hardcore Punk than Emo.
At The Drive In was a very good PUNK ROCK band, not Emo.
If Emo bands had just *a little* in common with The Mars Volta, Emo would not suck so much.
#11 Is very right.
In NO WAY was ATDI emo in the sense that I know ReeGed was referring to. I do believe you’ve been misinformed about the band, chief.

Great Post! really like MV’s Progstyle. Almost as good as Opeth
never heard any of their songs before
the song ylyena sounds interesting, i might just grab the whole album
thank you for the post
BE CAREFUL! This very band’s links to Rapidshare was responsible for closing down my favorite music blog—after over 2 years.
The RIAA is on the hunt! That’s probably why the RS links keep going down.
You can go to http://www.riaaradar.com where it clearly states which bands are affiliated with the RIAA.
Those bands don’t deserve the free publicity to begin with. The money from their record sales is used to fund the lawsuits.
Sure, The Mars Volta is a great band, but they’ve been around long enough to know they are signing with a label that sues little children.
Until we start banning these bands there won’t be an end to this.
In the end of the day, there are plenty of great musicians whose music you can share (and publicize) without helping the RIAA.
I guess pretencious is the new word to be used by people who feel like the music is trying to be somehow “smarter” than them…How about NOT using stupid words like THAT to describe music,nevermind the label’s people choose…Maybe your all pretencious for finding them pretencious,whooo knows…LOL
ReeGeed, maybe you should consider other people opinions and change or modify introduction, release log deserves quality texts.
This album has been released in Australia. It is awesome! It differs from the Mars Voltas other albums. Its less guitar orientated and the drumming style is different.
Five out of Five
why should he consider other people’s opinions when they’re a-holes about it, over something he’s doing to help others? inaccurate label or not he’s still providing other bits of info that is accurate, to people who never heard them
This is by far the greatest album that I’ve heard in so long. It’s an intense trip and their new drummer Thomas Pridgeon is A BEAST!!! Oh, and how is At The Drive In EMO????
GiveItARestLabelNazis : you`re partly right, we are a label nazis. It`s just that i cannot ignore it, when someone puts my fave band in a weird label group. That`s almost like presenting led zepp in heavy metal. And like MV – it is wrong and inaccurate. Anyway, Pridgeon really is a beast and album is great, thanks for posting it.
look at De-Loused in the Comatorium, concept album about a guy overdosing then slipping into a coma, then waking up and killing himself. same substance you hear in emo bands. Maybe not enough to call them an emo band and the instrumentals rarely even sound emo(but there definately are songs where they do, specifically ATDI songs), but enough to prove at least a few douchebag reply on this page wrong.
i just look at them like a multi layered band, you can hear all sorts of influences in them. if people want to spend so much time labelling bands that’s their problem, you could actually be discussing something that even has at least an ounce of importance like……..the music itself. oooooooh
Regardless of what you think a genre is, if it helps people find a band, it works.
If someone recorded a heavy song, but I personally think its a beautiful ballad, yet its still heavy, I’ll call it metal to explain to others.
No need to get so emotionally attached to your definitions.
Truth is truth, idiots are idiots.
Music is music
tas chavo carnal!
they’re not emo!
dumb as!!!
his music is just 4
people that know about it…
not 4
people who loves the pop-ular music
ja!
