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.
I couldn't agree more with that. I think Deloused in the Comatorium is the best album I've ever heard in my life but after Frances it just got hit and miss. There were some great tracks thrown in there but something was just missing. It was like the sporadic mess of awesome I loved was replaced with an entire different sporadic mess.

Well, again, I'm glad you like it. You'll have to take my word for it, I've owned the album for 18 years and I really only listen to the 3 I posted.
I always preferred California to Disco Volante. I find Patton is at his experimental best with Fantamos.

Heart - Bad Animals. The first side has the four singles, which are all at least decent. The second side seems to be filler, although I admit I've spent little or no time listening to it.

I might edit this message later, if I think of other feast-or-famine albums.

Everything Must Go by the Manics. A Design For Life Australia, Kevin Carter, Interiors and No Surface All Feeling are awesome, Further Away is one of my favourite songs ever. About the other half of it I've always found pretty 'eh'.

This album is basically the ultimate example of "I only like half, but the half I like is incredible" for me. The opener, Broken Heart, Cop Shoot Cop... are all nearly flawless tracks, but the rest of the album is relatively uninteresting to me.
