Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jesse Professional	#1 by Jesse Garcia at Apr 13, 1978 at 4:29 PM EST
	I agree with a lot of youeatpoop (funny name) says. I think it's more of the "western" ideals trying to take over the entire globe. Think about "neonecropopulace has no reflection". Perhaps a sort of brainwashing. "Welcome to this neotokyo" Heavy industrialization in Tokyo with major influence from western society. "Just east of the river denial the techs are breathing" adds a little more to the point. "This marabout isn't untouchable, indentured by servitude." This shows that anybody can be influenced. "Centrocircuiphobia" probably has to deal with the fear of not progressing. Therefore, everybody is trying to keep up with Western technology. Well, that's at least how I see it. Something else I wanted to add is that when I looked up in the dictionary, "seraphin" is just another way to say "seraphim". So, it's not a misspelling on the cd cover.

No Picture Adrian Lead Player	#2 by Adrian Ortega at Jan 6, 1981 at 1:18 AM EST
	i am listening to this song right now and this doesn't look anything like the lyrics i am hearing. is it just me?

No Picture TAMARA Musical Genius	#3 by TAMARA at Feb 20, 1984 at 10:12 PM EST
	this song seems to sort of be about terrorism or the holy wars in the middle east. im REALLLLLLLy tired so im not going to go too into it right now, but think about it. the middle east is WEST of the river - Nile. --- river denial. techs -- bomb technicians neo infidels -- holy warriors see their opponents as infidels and so on. QED thus it is proved.

	I think everyone knows that Mars Volta is amazing, but you're just ignorant if you deny that Sparta has talent. I really don't see how Sparta is living off atd-i fame. The sound is much different than atdi's, just not as different as Mars Volta.

No Picture Manu Professional Badass	#5 by Manu at Feb 5, 1994 at 4:36 AM EST
	The song "I Cut My Teeth" is by a group called The VSS, they're on odd post-punk sort of band. Members of the band The Locust are in it. The leader singer (screamer) of the locust owns GSL, which is the label tremulant EP was on, coincidence? I think not.

No Picture The Four String Lead Player	#6 by The Four String Mother Fucker at Mar 14, 1995 at 2:01 PM EST
	Actually, I have always thought of centrocircuiphobia as a fear of central control..like supreme power maybe.. Tore the wings off the seraphim, fed them to the anglophiles.. I've always thought of the Anglophiles as...someone obsessed with angels? Sort of like pedophiles, only not in that sense.

No Picture PJVILL Professional Badass	#7 by PJVILL at Jul 25, 1997 at 9:01 AM EST
	this song is just great! the lyrics are complex and keep you wanting to know what the hell hes saying or what he means. i love cedric and his ways to make music. but you cant say that t.m.v. is better or worse than sparta. they are both equally good. they both make great music there own ways. they both originated from a great band! atdi always

	neonecropopulace --- neo (new) necro (dead) populace (society) has no reflection neo (new) caeczar (Caesar or dictator)istic phallic (penis) ruins just to the east of the river of denial (river of the nile) the techs are breathing welcome to this neotoyko gridlocks will warn the chromlech (A prehistoric monument consisting of monoliths encircling a mound.) alarms bouquet (arrangement) of cuticles (Botany. The layer of cutin covering the epidermis of the aerial parts of plants.) or (hardened skin) landscape of tantrums (cries) tramontane (From another country; foreign.) torching the tromantane I've heard the mumbling of citadels (A fortress in a commanding position in or near a city.) shifting on this richter scale the alleys will flow marble intercourse roil (To make (a liquid) muddy or cloudy by stirring up sediment.) the (Pantheon A circular temple in Rome, completed in 27 B.C. and dedicated to all the gods.) of subterfuge (A deceptive stratagem or device) tramontane torching the tramontane this marabout (A Muslim hermit or saint, especially in northern Africa.) isn't untouchable indentured (A contract binding one party into the service of another for a specified term.

The thing about England sorta threw me off... i'd like to see some suggestions, or if I got any of the translations wrong, some corrections...

	song is sweet

No Picture Daniel Average	#11 by Daniel Johnson at May 17, 2003 at 1:05 AM EST
	This is good stuff, I still don't know yet though....At the drive in, Sparta, Mars Volta.....all amazing. Though I think Sparta are the easiest to understand, and sound different from the other two (do to singer) yet I love the chaotic flow of Mars Volta. And ATDI started it all.

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#12 by Gary Rossington at Sep 12, 2007 at 7:07 PM EST
	just you can all stay sluggards, centrocircuiphobia is the fear of centralized, heavily circuilated technology... neoinfidels are new "non-rule followers" neonecropopulace is new dead population which for the song, literally means that if a centrocircuilation happens, we will be rendered dead and sitting on our asses seraphim has often been used as slang for some sort of drug which i am blank of at the moment anglophiles-->[[anglo- english philes-to work/observe/etc.]] tramontane in this song literally means that foreigners to each other, we will kill each other via inside out with our technology, thus leading back to centrocircuiphobia... thats all i can think of for now...
