Always a shame, I find, when I feel like that.
I agree completely.

I find this is the case with all the later Mars Volta albums...Meccamputecture and the Bedlam in Goliath both start off really strong and then by the end of it, I just don't care. I also feel this way about early Pink Floyd...Meddle is really a crap album, but Echoes is so freaking good that I definitely rank the album highly. I guess the fact that it's over 20 minutes kind of makes up for it.
