You know i`ve been trying to work out why I dislike Frances The Mute and I think i`ve finally got it.And this is going to be possibly the strangest analagy I have ever used........
Think of the Mars Volta as the ingredients of a cake. Well they make some cakes using those ingredients and the first time you taste them they taste totally unlike anything you`ve ever tasted before and is absolutly wonderful.
The second time they use those same ingredients to make a big cake instead of lots of little ones. But it tastes the same it`s just one big cake instead of lots of little ones and you`ve already tasted it before and because it`s so big it`s a little hard to swallow.And you end up disappointed because you wanted different cakes just as different and as good as the first lot.
Hope that clears it up
