Wow - are these types of post here or on other forums? No, the rules are mostly for my benefit, I just thought I'd share my working out in the margins.  Well in that case anyone who doesn't like The Mars Volta has no musical taste whatsoever!  |

I've been playing this quite a bit over thee last few days.
As predicted, I like it quite a lot.
I can see how people might find it hard to penetrate due to its frenzied feel. And how others might hate it, but it's quite a unique record and takes the band's first album (which was remarkable in its own right) and goes even further.
Love it - 4/5.

Pleased you enjoyed it, the next Amputechture I quite like, but I would recommend 'The Bedlam In Goliath' I find its the most interesting although a bit challenging, as usual you need to understand the story behind it to fully get it. |

Well I've give it a couple more tries but my listening these days is for quieter and not too complicated music and I just can't get my brain to unravel this album .
Difficult to vote on it , I probably would have liked this back in 2005 so I'll go 3/5 .

Actually the voting choices are more complicated than the album , I'm entering the Volta |

Just tried again, but I'm going to stick with my original impression: truly bloody awful! Sorry, despite being a fan of discordant jazz, bands like Blurt and a fair bit of punk, this had nothing in it for me - a pointless mess.
