   Yes, you're right in that case. Cedric wrote it. But musically and also both write the lyrics not only Cedric, Omar is THE man behind TMV.

	i love the mars volta, but at times their live jam band-esque improv ventures seem awkward.

	A Manual Dexterity should be added on PA imo. Very experimental/post rock, avant garde and electronic music. He is also playing with his other "solo" band called Omar Rodriguez Quintet wich is very very influenced by Mahavishnu Orchestra. Without a doubt he is the genious on TMV and not Cedric Bixler.

	You are all so negative. Omar is a genius! If anyone has ever seen him live, they'll know what im talking about. Plus you seem to be forgetting all of the distortion and effects he tweaks with. Ever heard his solo album (A Manual Dexterity) I say give it a go. I think you will change your mind! The Mars Volta is an amazing step from what progressive music was. Hope to hear more amazing tunes from these guys.

	he also writes all of the songs (not lyrics) for every instrument. maybe this explains why there arent many keyboard or bass solos?

	of the mars voltaa very unique experimental band. his guitar style is very unorthodox, and reminds me of Robert Fripp (but not as good) at times. then there are the sections where it seems as he randomly picks at notes . he also cannot write in major, which is a flaw in my opinion. discuss?
