The Mars Volta : Octahedron

I really loved the organized chaos feel of Bedlam. I really don't see where all the hate for that album is coming from. It was chaotic, sure, but not to the extent where it was unlistenable. For me, it hit the point perfectly where its not over chaotic, but just chaotic enough to give me a really great adrenaline boost. Plus, for an alu=bum so chaotic, I felt it flowed extremely well.

This one just doesn't hold my attention as much as the others. All of the songs are great, but it doesn't flow at all through the album. I feel like this should have been an EP every time I listen to it.
