At the Drive-In el gran orgo

[@dfmitchell330]

If anyone is interested in where the "vampire" quote comes from during the "Intermission" track at 7:50, it's actually from a really old episode of Cops. I was watching old Cops reruns awhile back and some guy on drugs getting arrested started shouting about how he was a vampire - I knew I had heard it somewhere before and then I remembered this album haha.

[@minuteofdecayyy]

+David Mitchell OHHHHHH that's where it's from!!!! Thank you! I knew it sounded familiar hahahaha

[@TNEtonymonteiro]

I woulda crapped myself if that happened to me because the odds of that happening must be so rare. haaa damn this ep is rare itself.

[@mcarterjackson]

That's crazy, you realized an obscure sample from a rare EP

[@chiefmojobear]

sweet!

[@Veggiorto666]

Did you hear about that or saw it? Cuz it was a woman, and was drunk.

[@TheGamesterShow]

This is the first record with Paul Hinojos on bass. He is a very underrated bass player in my opinion. He creates deep and consistent bass lines, so guitars can go a little bit crazy.

[@alexhennigh5242]

Agreed! All I can say after spending months learning ATDI songs on bass is that his hands must be HUGE! He reaches all over the place in the most awkward ways but fuck does it ever sound good.

[@jacobfranzgrote]

And Tony on drums

[@OK-rx3xl]

Jim's backing screams give me reason to live. Jim was, and will always be the sauce.

Dude winter month novelty is so insane. Perfect tape honestly.

[@woobiehastelly]

Does anybody else notice this EP starts off really upbeat (friendship, reunions), but ends up turning into something with fucked up themes (abuse, lies)? This thing is fucking beautiful in so many ways.

[@BeersAndBeatsPDX]

It doesn't start out up beat. It starts out with heart break and loneliness

[@woobiehastelly]

@@BeersAndBeatsPDX Lyrically, you definitely have a point.

[@BeersAndBeatsPDX]

@@woobiehastelly Def upbeat musically. It starts out as you're typical highschool pop punk album

[@woobiehastelly]

@@BeersAndBeatsPDX Totally!

[@PaytonsOwnProductions]

This is where their sound crystallized. I always felt there was a missing link between Acrobatic Tenement and In/Casino/Out; here it is. Once Omar took up the guitar, there was no going back. Shame this EP put the band through hell, but a far stronger unit emerged with a signature sound, cleaner production, and plenty of room for further growth.

[@ghin780]

I always thought this record sounds a bit inept because it was missing Jim Ward and the way Jim and Omar's guitars sound like they're fighting over Cedric.

[@CSHorseBobJoe]

@@ghin780 I agree, but I think he means he's talking about how Omar's guitar work and style had a clear influence on the direction the band took years later, and that this EP was the first glimpse into the style they would later develop, I think they meant that the change was pretty sudden without the context of this EP, and that this EP kinda creates a clear bridge and transition into their their later style.

[@TheReverOcelot]

This is a great EP, one of the best releases of their career. Every track is a killer and drums are great here too, simple yet powerful and energetic.

[@js-wv6fj]

Last two tracks are SLAMMERS

[@recolivez1995]

Highly overlooked and underrated

[@franciscoperezosan2299]

I've been listening to this exact track of El Gran Orgo for years. It's so good. So so good. One of my biggest regrets it's that I never saw this band live. It's not you, it's me.

[@greggperea8627]

I fell in love with these guys after they broke up but I was able to see them on their 2017 tour. One of the greatest nights of my life!

[@angelsweartuxedos5238]

+Disko Dyslexic The record company ripped them off, pirating is heavily encouraged by the band.

[@gothsauceproductions5243]

Angels Wear Tuxedos​ Yeah, I heard the band talk about them being taken advantage by labels. That's why Omar & I forget who started GSL. That label had some great bands on it too bad it's no more.

[@chiefmojobear]

indeed

[@ToddPhillips-zl2mx]

Life makes a dancer. None like Mr.Zavala

[@cloudbullets]

The only record to feature Ben Rodriguez on guitar. To this day, the fallout between him and the rest of the band still remains a secret. All we know is after the disastrous 100 Day Tour they embarked on ended with Ben Rodriguez being sent home on a bus.

[@joshuazamarron8338]

If I’m not mistaken he was kicked out for being a sociopath and convincing Julio To kill himself, unless that was someone else

[@arizonaboy1547]

​@@joshuazamarron8338 That's how the rumour goes. Concertina, a song from the Tremulant EP, is supposed to be about him and Julio's suicide

[@CSHorseBobJoe]

@@arizonaboy1547 I also read that very recently on a supposedly quoted interview Cedric had in Leeds Cockpit (2002)

[@jcpcelt]

No need to not buy it any more! ATDI own the rights on their chapter 21 label.

[@SilversteinRescue]

Then I wonder why it’s not on Spotify. I always assumed it was because of the whole bs with the label it was released on.

[@samrivkin2458]

@@SilversteinRescue I always felt it had something to do with this being the only release during their initial career without Jim Ward on guitar, but since he wasn’t apart of the reunion there’s no excuse anymore. This is definitely one of the best releases of theirs

[@ericiidx]

Still my favorite At The Drive-In album. It was my first time hearing them, on a (literal) mix tape, and I thought they sucked. Worst band on the tape and it wasn't even close. It took me about a dozen listens to really get into it. The raw, lo-fi sound really suited them. If I turned my headphones up loud enough, it was like being in the room with them.

How did I get this emo crap looking for The Mars Volta? Yuck

[@Chuckwearsprada]

At-The Drive In is the predecessor of The Mars Volta (they share the vocalist and guitarist). Try listening to their other release In/Casino/Out it's not pop-punk. Also expand your music taste bruh, you sound like a fucking stiff.

[@BlackWallsStreet]

@@Chuckwearsprada also mars volta is prog garbage the sum of the parts dont equal the whole mars volta + sparta =/= ATDI

[@vincoletto2]

Great Mars Volta fan here. Listen to at the drive in third album "relationship of command". It's almost like a 1st mars volta album and the reason why the band split.

[@nickwalmer6712]

Easy brah I downloaded your MySpace yesterday and your profile song was Hoobastank. Go check out De Facto live performance w Ikey / Cedric / Omar / John / Ward. That is basically pre Mars Volta. Relationship of command flirts w that.
