Frances is one of those albums that I wished I loved even more. In terms of execution, it's probably their best album. The writing is fantastic throughout, as well. It took a good two years, but it's finally grown on me.



If anything, De-loused is their most overrated.



Edit: Iluvatar, how can this be below De-loused for you when you gave Deloused a 3?This Message Edited On 01.23.08

You wouldn't have the gas money to do such a thing.

Pardon my Chinese, but this album is fucking amazing.
I don't know why. I'm not too smarts with musicy terms and whatnot like timey signatures and the like, but I'm also very picky with what I'll listen to.
This is so different than most. I've been listening to this constantly since the leak.
My favorite track would be a 5-way tie. Conjugal Burns, Cavalettas, Goliath, Metatron, and Wax Simulacra. I can't freaking decide, but I'm starting to lean slightly towards Metatron.
So for me, the standing goes:
Amputechture
Frances the Mute<
The Bedlam in Goliath
De-Loused in the Comatorium

the only problem with your reviews is that there's not enough drama in the comments section













I want a picture of iluvatar and isitluck? so I can see if it's even physically possible for iluvatar to kick the other guy in the face. I want video PROOF.

... but I am serious, the only thing missing from your reviews is more drama.





All you need is one line that will piss at least everyone off. that'd be so cool.

Like what?

like, "the mars volta is better than any other band ever. period. No one can EVER top them. ever."





or "chiodos suck so much balls. If I had a penny for every time they sucked my balls, I would have a million bucks." etc.

Yeah that'd totally work.

it would!! It would piss people off so much. I would love to see the chaos ensue.

Uh no it's already gay enough having to read how people try to justify why Mars Volta blow/rule.

Whether to give it a 4 or a 4.5!?



Oooooooh.

In a completely true and honest way, I am very excited for this CD. the wait is seriously killing me. I HATE being a quality freak I wish I had room for a turn table

The opening statement reeks of Cocaine's Monstrosity review imo.
