Zepplin Returns in the form of a Mars Volta!!!

When I think of Led Zeppelin I think of Robert Plant first off. However, in the circles of those who experienced the Sixties and Seventies there is no mistake that Jimmy Page, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones were more influential during their run than Plant. The musical talent of these three men is unmatched in today's pop fluff influenced and creedulated musical atmosphere save one band whose music may reach a new pinnacle not yet achieved. The Mars Volta is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. But don't be scared off by their musical triumphs. Do not allow your inability to connect them to that three minute ditty you just heard on the radio deter you from seeing them for who they really are. The modern day Zeppelin! That's correct. You heard right. I said that the Mars Volta is the modern day Led Zeppelin. Surprised? Think I have lost It? Well as for the latter you would be right but I am certain of my findings. The Mars Volta is the most ahead of their time,influential, musically talented band I have seen in the last ten years. Their first band At the Drive Inn was a great band don't get me wrong. But The Mars Volta is just pure genius. On the 23rd they will release yet another musical masterpiece called Octahedron which is probably their most prolific album to date and steps into a musical realm that few dare tread. It is truly an atmospheric free fall from the rest of the pack. This record lays the ground work for a movement into the future of music as we know it. It is just a matter of time until we start hearing bands who were influenced by these guys on our radios. The horrible thing is that if we listen to the radio we probably wont hear The Mars Volta. Which is equivalent to never having heard Iron Maiden get radio play but ten years later having bands like Lincoln Park stealing their riffs and wearing their T-shirts. Octahedron is a ground breaker full of eclectic riff -age and a superfluous rhythm, and purchasing this record may be a look into the future of music as we know it. Be a fortune teller and pick up a copy of this record. And remember when you are blown away its just a "bustle in your hedgerow"... http://music.yahoo.com/track/15684238
