What a pretentious, self-indulgent, and completely overrated band. Nearly all their songs are killed, no, not killed, viciously murdered by their "experimental" and "complex" wank. Awful, awful, band.

boo boo

Yeah, cause experiemental and complex is very bad, classical music sucks because its complex, and jazz sucks because its experiemental, Frank Zappa really sucks ass because he experiements too much and trys to hard to be complex, yeah, bands are not to meant to do something new, Rock N Roll should always be the same predictible crap, 2 chord riffs, repetitive chorus and all in less than 2 minutes...Music began with punk rock.

I semi agree with him, and he never said that experimentation was bad, he merely said the Mars Volta's experimentation was bad.

I don't like them eather, their sound is too "tangy" for my liking.

That's not what I meant, and if you weren't trying so hard to be a condescending prick, you would've realized that.

Ooo, Mars Volta is great, but my favorite song still is The Widow.

so which album do you like better, i'm liking de-loused better at the moment, simply because it has more songs on it, let's face it, frances the mute only has 4 songs, the rest is improvisation and distortion or static.....one thing that is killing me, i remembered they performed in Croatia some 2 years ago, before frances the mute, at that time of course, i hadn't even gotten into At the drive-in , let alone them, and now of course they're too big to come here ever again......sadness i feel......

I agree with adidass, De-loused in the Comatorium is better, particularly because they don't try to pass off a minute of two of pointless noise as HALF OF A SONG every time, like they do on Frances the Mute. I'm going to watch them next week at Birmingham Academy - yesssssss!

Adidass... does a band becoming big = not playing in Croatia? I hadn't heard of this rule before, but suppose it might be true. What kind of bands DO come and tour in Croatia (apart from Croatian bands)?

boo boo

What he said. ^
