Saturday Night Hype Masters 2-1-2014 (The Mars Volta)

A'ight, y'all. So today is our dude Alex Gomory's birthday, and I wanted to do a band that he got down to, for this weeks Saturday Night Hype Masters, so I know he's probably talked a lot about this band already, I actually think they're pretty hype as fuck, too. Thing is, I was only slightly familiar with them, and never really went out of my way to listen to their stuff, but the little bit I did hear before, I liked. Same thing happened when I was picking tracks for tonight...everything I heard, I liked, so this was fun to put together. So, for Alex, press play and get HYPE AS FUCK, tonight!

            Sometimes I wonder how many times music reviewers listen to an album.  Certain albums sound great during the first listen, much like that slightly dumb boy or girl you took home after a night of heavy drinking, but much like that person the more time you spend with the album the more you realize how empty it truly is.  On the other hand, certain albums need many listens to truly appreciate, like the person you want to marry one day, you don’t fall in love during the first outing; it takes time to truly nurture the relationship.
