Basically, it seems Omar exerted too much of his prog energy in his endless solo releases, and is now more interested in that awful-sounding Bosnian Rainbows project. He also didn't want to tour for the latest TMV album, while Cedric did and feels it's important for the group and fans.

However, I don't know that there's been any confirmation from Omar that he is on board with the break-up.
Thanks for letting me know, it just is really disappointing that Omar won't play ball for the fans. I really would have loved to have seen them live.

I don't mind the style so much, in a way it's refreshing to see him not wanking. I just can't appreciate that singer.

Best Mars Volta record? It's a tie between Frances The Mute and De-loused in the Comatorium. Both records seem way ahead of it's time, in terms of prog.

I quite liked Octahedron. Although it's been so long since I listened to The Mars Volta, definitely preferred At The Drive-In

Octahedron is underrated IMO. Certainly not my favorite, but considering I've played the others so much and I'm getting old, maybe it's the one I'm most likely to reach for. :D

De-Loused in the Comatorium is still what I consider their best work.

Relationship of Command will forever remain my second favorite record, but The Mars Volta has made 2 groundbreaking epic records and three really solid ones. Their last album I thought was shit. They all stopped doing heroin and cleaned up, so their creativity completely left.

At The Drive-In makes me feel so old! I used to play that record all the time. I just put them back on my iPod because they are the shiz.

I've only ever loved Relationship of Command, which is one of my favorite records of all time.
