This is the single version. The album version is three times as long and waaaaay better. Also Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus is a must from TMV! Their Frances the Mute album is a masterpiece, Deloused as well. Amazing band.

One of my favorite drummers (Dave Elitch) was called to try out for this gig when he was 26, and he has a story about this song that I love. TMV is notorious for their wild intense drum parts, but Dave got the gig based on his playing in this song. Everybody who got called was able to shred and go nuts on the kit, but Dave locked in on the groove in this song better than anybody else, and that’s when the band knew he was the guy. It’s all about that undeniable feel, not flash and blazing speed. 3 weeks later he was playing in front of 20000 people in stadiums across the world. There is a drum cam video of him in Sydney playing with ‘em. He’s a beast.

Saw TMV livea few times, but there was a particular show in NYC they played for about 4 hours, way longer than anyone expected maybe themselves included, and their energy did not flag over the course of the whole show. There may have been some ...ugh...external help with that during a short 10 min break in the middle. Such an amazing live show, progressive jazz psyche punk.

My running iPod shuffle contains fast, quick songs for the most part. Most under 5 minutes. But this jam is a staple. Plus, if you didn't know, some of the shredding via John Frusciante. Perfect.

Congrats on the 100k subs! You are fun and interesting to watch/listen ti, you deserve it! Heres to 100k more!

[@SV-hn7xx]

Congrats & well deserved on the 100k subs!! TMV are certainly in a league of their own. Dynamic, ultra talented & the deeper you go the better it gets. I'll suggest Antemasque, a spin off of theirs which is Cedric, Omar & Flea from RHCP's as a fun listen as well. 🤘☮️🤘

[@tristanedwards7302]

You should definitely check out their track Eunuch Provocateur. Amazing sound and arrangement.

Hey Friend can you do the song Goliath from the Mars Volta. Cheers from Vancouver Canada!

[@t.j.d.13]

Would love to hear your thoughts on 'Cavalettas' off of their album The Bedlam in Goliath. Definitely some more experimental parts that snap into the really powerful chorus and solos. Great video once again!!

Super Congrats on 100k!!

[@tomclemens5345]

Love how all these react channels make me rediscover music I kinda forgot about.

[@billhicks9056]

Oh yes! Now I'm excited! There's some cool production tricks with Cedrics vocals towards the end of the track, in the album version [edit] ...which is such a shame you didn't listen to. The way that guitar solo just gets cut in half cuts me in half. ...Nonetheless, I love your reviews. I appreciate your insights, I always hear something new. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers!

[@LoudModeOn]

So pleased you revisited TMV, my all time fave band with Tool! The full length version of this is even better. There are maybe 20 songs I could recommend but maybe check out Teflon or Goliath next. TMV are a bit like Tool in that you should really listen to the whole album in one sitting, with maybe the help of a gummy or two! Alllllright!

[@JobForAMaxboy]

Aahhhh this band gives me chills on so many of their songs. Love them. Too bad my girlfriend despises them, it just makes me turn it up louder

[@10111269]

more volta please

[@Sir_Blobfish]

One a day sounds about right and perfectly normal. 😬😌

[@ryanmustain6545]

Never enough Volta.

[@Childofbhaal]

I still can never understand to this day who the hell thought it was acceptable to shorten a John Frusciante solo

[@SinisterGrapefruit]

You've almost doubled your subscribers from this video :D I hope you're holding up well chief.

[@christofyre]

Omg I’m so glad you’re doing Mars Volta now! One of my favorite bands. I discovered your channel because of your reactions to tool and I was hoping you’d pick up on Mars Volta soon.

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

I'll keep saying you to do bent knee because it's my new favorite band

[@bikeweiss]

Hey Geebz, love the content! I suggest you check out the band Consider The Source. They are a three-piece instrumental prog rock band from New York, but with deeply eastern influences. They're a little under the radar, definitely not as popular as some of the acts you've been checking out, but no less worthwhile. Especially the songs Closer to Home, Enemies of Magick, or Moisturize the Situation. Production is a lot different from some of these high-tech groups. They do a lot of live pad work, pedals, etc. The guitarist uses a dual neck guitar where the top neck is a fretless midi controller, allowing for plenty of groovy sounds and semi-tonal work. The bassist is a masterful slap/tap artist. They're just so much fun. Hope you enjoy!
