the drop in quality from de loused to this is insane



Agreed, but I wouldnt call it a 1.5. Its definitely overrated though. Cassandra Gemini is atrocious.

this was your best qwe, but you fail to understand how effective what you call dweedling actually can be. But I agree with you on this, I think that overall its got some fantastic material, but most of it is just fucking stupid. I may lower this to a 2.5, but I love LVia Vasquez and The Widow, (despite the horrible and annoying guitar solo in the widow)

its the most annoying guitar solo Ive ever heard, particularly because of the strumming pattern and where its placed. Its sad though, The Widow would be one of the best songs Ive ever heard if that solo wasnt there. De-Loused>Bedlam>Octahedron (yeah Im fucking serious)>Frances the Mute

@doombringer: The Mars Volta is like a rock version of BTBAM in some ways, especially in the amount of experimentation with other genres, especially on this album, but this album isnt that great, De-Loused is fucking incredible though.

AGREED. They are usually so poorly done. However, I still do love The mars Volta, especially De-Loused and maybe Bedlam, I love their vocals and experimentation with latin/jazz fusion, but this album is just meh and sometimes really annoying.
