Hey! I've been here 3 weeks now! Ha!

I don't mind them, in small quantities... I've only heard 2 'songs' off of Frances The Mute, one of the biggest headf**ks i've ever heard. Televators is great.

Maybe becuase Frances The Mute is so bloody awful

You've got to be joking...Frances The Mute IMO is their best album..

Frances the Mute IS their best. Takes a little more to get into.

De-Loused is my favorite album also, but the others are crazy too, very trippy but structured in a way. crazy stuff.

I love Frances the Mute, a great album as a whole. However it doesn't sound too great on mp3 players shuffle lists.
Definately an album to take some time out to listen to, if you like that sort of thing.x

i think they've tried to be a bit too clever with Frances the Mute, at times it is a little too "progressive" and that can alienate fans. Personally i believe De-loused is a much better album. its songs are more distinctive, it has a better structure, and i generally think its a stronger effort than its follow-up.

Now I agree with you :)

i was trying to be tactful but yes "boring" pretty much sums it up in one word quite accurately.

deloused is much better than frances in my opinion

has anyone seen them live? interesting show?

personally, i like at the drive in a lot more, but the mars volta is good. televators and son et lumiere/inertiatic esp are my favorites.

^ Those songs transition Brilliantly...and Frances just takes longer to get into...Its more progressive in parts but definetly not more boring...as a prog fan Frances is a fantastic album...as is De-Loused..for the first few months of listening to TMV i liekd De-Loused more...Frances grabbed me, pulled me in, and hasnt let me back out

I Agree, and I like it in here.

BIG NEWS!...They just finished their new album!

They are absolutely incredible live... word is they're coming with the Red Hot Chili Peppers to my town. Oooh, I hope it's true!

New Album? When's it out?

my feelings about the mars volta are summed up here: http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2825

I just bought De-Loused in the Comatorium and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

after reading what that idiot had to say i listened to the album and enjoyed it. I also have a newfound respect for mars volta. mmm good stuff.

MARS VOLTA ROCK!!

The best new band in ages, and before you tell me they're not new, they are.

Well its just finished now...they havent set a release date but id say roughly july

YAY!!!! I'm sweaty just thinkin bout it.

Can't stand them.

^ Yeah well....you live in Ontario..

Mars Volta is pretty good, however At the Drive-In...soooo much better, they had all the intensity without dragging their songs out past ten minutes. Deloused is really good though.

It's not that. I just know what I like. And I find TMV to be unlistenable.

what do you listen to?

A wide variety of music. Classical, jazz, etc. Most of the time however, I listen to electronica/trance and alternative.

Yeah! bumpety Bump!

I love this band!!!!!!!
Sure you all know by now, but I'm drunk so I'm tellin you f***ers again,
this band ROCKS! Go buy all their stuff right now.

love mars volta, just hoped they would tour over here but i dont really think that thats going to happen :( the main reason is because thats the closest i would probably get to seeing At the drive-inwho are just sex for the ears lol! :)

They playing not too far from where i live in September i think...But they're touring with RHCP and i dont know if i could sit through like 13 RHCP tracks just to hear like 2 or 3 TMV songs....its very intrigueing though

WHA!?!?

RHCP are soooo much better then TMV.

:rofl:

You can't be serious!

:bowdown: :afro: :afro:

More then serious.

Yet you like Modest Mouse.

Score one for boo boo. :pimp:

Modest Mouse all the way on that one, i'm afraid.

Subjective.

I think RHCP are better, but then again they are two completely different bands.
