The Mars Volta albums ranked: From worst to best – Alternative Press

After the celebrated, influential punk outfit At The Drive-In went on hiatus in 2001, members Omar Rodrguez-Lpez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala went on to form their own project,the Mars Volta. What followed was a just as influential band and a string of wild, experimental records that found beauty in chaos, while their live shows were easily as visceral as the most urgent of punk groups.

The duo broke up after the release of 2012s Noctourniquet, with Bixler-Zavala announcing the news via a series of tweets that took aim at Rodrguez-Lpezs new band Bosnian Rainbows. What am I suppose to do, be some progressive house wife thats cool with watching their partner go fuck other bands, he wrote at the time.

Thankfully, the two friends started repairing their friendship when At The Drive-In reunited to make 2017s comeback album, inter alia. And after a lot of teasing, they returned as the Mars Volta with their first album in over a decade in 2022.

I feel like the Mars Volta is finally beginning, Rodriguez-Lopez said recently, when the band announced they were releasing a reworked, acoustic version of their debut through their cultural lens.
