5.0 out of 5 stars This isnt a vent fest for the mars volta, November 12, 2008

I don't recall the cd saying "the Mars Volta" on it.
But if it did please tell me because this does not sound anything like the mars volta to me.
I must've been fooled!
This album is by far my favorite Omar solo album. It has this very latin, heated, quick paced theme to it. There's hardly time for you to stop and think about it. Songs like Please Heat This Eventually and Boiling Death Requests a Body to Rest It's Head On are straight examples of what i'm talking about. There so enthusiastic with there playing. Everything sounds perfectly in it's rightful place (even if it really is all over at any given time). You'll feel so appreciative of this album, you'll wish you could go back in time and listen to it for the very first time again.
I totally and completely wish i could.
So give it your full attention.
And dance! Because this album will make you want to dance!

This review is from: Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo [Vinyl] (Vinyl)

Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo is an album by Omar a Rodriguez Lopez. The title means "Say Bison, Not Buffalo" It's a funky and heavy musical journey through intricate soundscapes. Most of the songs have no lyrics except for about four with Cedric Bixler Zavala who is in The Mars Volta and At The Drive-in with Omar a Rodriguez Lopez.
If you're looking for an album with a heavy groove Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo sounds like Jimi Hendrix if he were of Latin descent. Truly a musical experience. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars his most accessible album, July 20, 2011

This review is from: Se Dice Bisonte No Buffalo (Audio CD)

This album, I would say, is definitely his most accessible work, and this along with Old Money and Xenophanes should be among the first a new Omar listener indulges in. By no means a weak or boring record, but at the same time not an album that will transport you to another universe, this record is front to back solid songs. This record doesn't really break any new ground, or excel in any certain way, but like every release he's ever put out, is still a must-have. On the plus-side, Cedric makes more than a couple vocal contributions on this record, he's always welcome voice on anything in my book. Because of that, I would suggest this is one of the first if not the first Omar solo record a Volta fan indulges in, since its not a very long shot from what'd you'd expect with them, although more toned down and is more straight forward rock; like a non-metal Bedlam in some ways, which is how I refer to the Bedlam, as the Volta's take on a metal record.
