The Mars Volta Ranked.

Yep, pretty generic list. But whatever. Post your ranking of TMV's albums.
1The Mars Volta
Frances the Mute


I didn't really like this the first time I heard it, it's definitely a grower (five songs totaling 77 minutes?... yeah), but once it grows on you, oh man you'll love it. There is just so much to it, and the song-writing skill that went into this still blows me away every time I hear it.
2The Mars Volta
De-Loused In The Comatorium


A little easier to get into then number one. Brilliant in it's own right. Very nostalgic for me as well, it is only narrowly beat out by FTM.
3The Mars Volta
Amputechture


I don't think people fully realize the brilliance of this album. Has a very jazzy feel, and it's the last album before Cedric started over-dubbing his vocals like crazy. Tetragrammaton is an amazing piece of art, and there really isn't a week track on here.
4The Mars Volta
The Bedlam In Goliath


There are three words to describe this album: bat-shit crazy. And while I love it, it doesn't hold up as well as the first three. And it tends to drag a little bit in the middle.
5The Mars Volta
Octahedron


While I really like this album, and it is by no means bad, I had to put it last (of their full lengths), because after about ten listens through, I really had no urge to listen to it anymore, I don't know why. Still a great album though.
6The Mars Volta
Tremulant


Not much to say about this. It's a great, but short listen.
