- It seems to concur with my CD. Can you be specific?--Viriditas 10:52, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

- The Following people in the Mars Volta group are linked to other people with the same name:
- Keith Mitchell
- Greg Nelson
- Paul Drake
- Steve Taylor (?)

- I'm fairly certain these people are involved with assisting in TMV live show and therefore are most likely not the prime minister of greneda or on a soap opera..... Zopwx2 11:20, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion
I went ahead and massively expanded the descriptive section so that the actual content of the record is described. Some of the phrasing is no doubt a bit awkward so feel free to play around with it, but I think it's nice to describe the sound of the record and whatnot. Unfortunately, I don't know for sure which dates the "Cerpin Taxt" and "Concertina" performances are excerpted from, but "Cicatriz" is unmistakably from 5/12/04 because it's the only show I'm aware of where Cedric sticks in David Bowie lyrics. ;p Cassandra Leo 06:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- For NPOV, it's best to describe the sound of the recording in relation to precedents, known and described in the popular press. For example, where you describe David Bowie lyrics, we can specify Major Tom and Ashes to Ashes, the song the band is quoting. IIRC, they sing: "My mother said to get things done, you'd better not mess with Major Tom." --Viriditas 10:52, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rolling Stone review
What's going on with the RS review for Scab Dates? When I originally posted it, it was listed as three stars. Now the link is gone and the new link says no stars, however, you can see the original three star rating, here. Very strange. Why has the original review disappeared? --Viriditas 03:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- Linking to Rolling Stone reviews can be problematic, as they seem to redo their file scheme every few months. New review links in particular seem to expire after a few months. I recommend replacing the old link with one that actually works at present. (Edit: Ah, looks like you already did that). Cassandra Leo 19:05, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Citation Needed
Not to be nitpicky or anything, but we need a citation for the May 12 date of the cicatriz performance.

[edit] Album Chronology
It was inconsistent, on some pages A Missing Chromosome is included, on some pages it wasn't. It is debatable whether AMC should be included, but I have taken the despotic decision to include it. Damiancorrigan 22:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Large cymbal crash
What large cymbal crash in And Ghosted Pouts? There is no cymbal crash right before/after the break from Gust Of Mutts to And Ghosted Pouts. Do you mean the one at 2:04? Other then that, there are "large cymbal crashes" all over the place at non-obvious breaks.--Cory Kohn 22:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
