Also, are there good and bad Mars Volta records? 'Cause what I've heard (dunno exactly what) I thought was kinda show-off and lame.. Do I just not get it?
There are some records that pretty much all the fans agree are fuckin' amazing, but the rest are pretty polarizing. For most people the divide starts to happen at Amputechture; I personally love that album, but a lot of people that I know who love the Mars Volta can't stand it. Then again, they like Octahedron and that is my least favorite thing they've done thus far. Bedlam in Goliath has a lot of good shit on it, but I haven't met many people that love it.
I'd bet that most would say that Frances the Mute and De-Loused are the best. I would certainly say they're the most accessible, and they also happen to have most of my favorite songs on them. Eriatarka and Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt blew my fucking mind when I first heard them. Plus Frances the Mute's title track from the Widow single is one of the best song's they've done, in my opinion of course. It definitely makes the whole album for me.
