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

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 :lol: That has a couple good moments but is totally messed up and dumb otherwise :idk:

still, somehow, Amputechture is my favourite :idk: 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.

Best album she made. I agree with you and that makes our opinion popular!

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.
