This album represents why this is my favorite band


This. This is what you should avoid saying in reviews for future reference. I don't care about your rating. I couldn't care less about this band, if I wanted prog I'd listen to Rush.

I didn't know that John Frusciante played additional guitars on this.

I think an RHCP member has contributed at least something on all of their albums.

I'm pretty sure he's been on every album so far.

He played in the guitar duel in Cizatriz from Deloused, the first two solos in L'Via from Frances, he played all the guitar parts on Amp after Omar wrote them, and doubled the solos on Bedlam.

Not sure what he did on this album but he is credited.

Yeah but I don't have an afro, or a bunch of shitty solo albums.

To be fair, I'm still just getting into this album. It'll hopefully grow on me over time.

Nothing wrong with giving a 5 - the unwritten rule that an album has to be "perfect" to receive a 5 is stupid because the rating scale is pretty small to begin with.

Because The Mars Volta are NOTHING compared to Taking Back Sunday. (lawl)
