Hahaha trolling on two levels. But fuck no, that's a rough listen. Everyone knows Noctourniquet is the best TMV record...

In seriousness, De-Loused In the Comatorium was a life-changing event for me. It opened up a bunch of new possibilities, and introduced me to Jon Theodore, who has had a massive impact on me (along with a few other drummers).

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to embed shit here.
Not that any of this is on that level. Dude is a physical genius.
Back on topic: Bjork is the greatest singer on the planet, and Homogenic is one of the most important albums ever released.

I came to appreciate literally their whole discography aside from Noctourniquet

That has a couple good moments but is totally messed up and dumb otherwise
still, somehow, Amputechture is my favourite

I sometimes really mis Theodore although in a way, Pridgen somehow really fits the middle era insanity of the band

I actually really liked Amputechture, too--their best after De-Loused, I thought. Frances the Mute seems to me to be a wankfest, and not much fun to listen to.
As for Pridgen: super talented, but a lot of what he does seems more like athleticism than drumming. Theodore had the whole package.

Vespertine is better than Homogenic.
Now THAT is going to be unpopular.

It's a great record, but I think Medulla is better still. So ambitious, and still super fun to listen to.
And Homogenic is tops.

Surely every Mars Volta record is a wankfest, though.
