Don't you guys hate when albums are shoddily sequenced? I know people mostly just be listening to their tunes with complete disregard to context, but goddamn do I get salty when I put on a record and things just be arbitrarily jammed together like a motherfucker ain't never eaten a PB & J sandwich. I used to buy Mars Volta LPs, and the first thing I would do is rip it and re-sequence, because those dudes are basically retarded and put their ballads next to their helicopter sound effects.

  1. Around the same time Omar rodriguez lopez stopped worrying if people knew he was releasing solo albums every wednesday was when he gave up and just started openly ripping off king crimson riffs in the mars volta, true story.

  2. I'm gonna try and post those re-sequenced volta albums tomorrow. Hopefully that won't get us in trouble.

    I just figure if I'm gonna tell a story, I should follow through.
