Have you seen the new videos? I certainly recommend them for anyone who wants to get a feel for TBIG. Also, reading the background story was a trip within itself.

Deloused remains my favorite for now. Frances had some great tracks (Cygnus, The Widow, Cassandra Gemmini, and the title track) and two absolutely boring tracks (L'Via, Miranda).
Amputecture didn't hold my attention like the previous two, but it has Day of the Baphomets, which might be the best song they ever recorded.
If they're writing songs as awesome as DOTB, and the album overall is as consistantly good as Deloused, I have high hopes that it might be their best yet

Amputechture is one of the greatest albums of all time, without a doubt the bands best, and no one can say anything to change my mind.

She's just his beard. We all know Omar's the only one for him.

Well, not to knock Amputechture (I love it) but the new songs definitely have a more straightforward approach

Amputecture was kind of a bad album. It had some cool ideas, it just lacked actual songs (aside from Day Of The Baphomets and Asillos Magdalena).Hopefully the next release will be a lot more focused.

Oh, and also they're a great band. Can't wait to see them at Rams Head in January.  |
apparently Cedric has a girlfriend  (a shock to many on the Coma)

One of the bands that got me in to prog and still one of my favorites. They've yet to release a bad album and they seem to be improving with each release in a different way.
Really digging the new songs. Goliath is a monster of a song.

Haven't heard the new one enough yet, but i like Theodore.
Yeah, i love the Mars Volta. They're so 100% energy, i find it hard to listen to too much at a time, and i msut admit it was quite a while since i listened to them every day, but once in a while i listen to every album, still.
Certainly one of the best bands around. I'll definitely catch their tour next year :)

I'm actually very glad to see TMV mentioned in quite a few areas on the archives, and being one of my favourite bands, I'd like to hear what other people think of them.
And also which do you think is the better drummer? Old or new...
Positive and negative oppinions are all welcome :-)
