At The Drive-In - "Relationship Of Command" (2000)


This was the album that took Texan emocore (I think that's a genre, but I'm not sure) heroes At The Drive-In out of the underground inner circle of emocore-ness and made them a household name.

Not long after the release they split up and Cedric (vocals) and Omar (guitars) formed the masterful Mars Volta, while the other three created Sparta, the musical equivalent of narcolepsy. Avoid the latter at all costs. Apart from their first demo, that was pretty good.

Elitist? Moi?

I normally only post three songs from regular studio albums, but I honestly couldn't settle for just three. All these four songs are 100% flawless masterpieces in their own right. So I had to include all of them.

And you should download all four of them. If you know what's good for ya, that is.

I disagree with you about Mars Volta (yuck!) but I am totally with you on this album. And holy crap, Enfilade is SUCH a baddass song.
