| The Mars Volta Ranked.
Yep, pretty generic list. But whatever. Post your
ranking of TMV's
albums. | | 1 |  | The 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. | | 2 |  | The 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. | | 3 |  | The 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. | | 4 |  | The 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. | | 5 |  | The 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. | | 6 |  | The Mars Volta
Tremulant
Not much to say about this. It's a great, but short listen. | |

11.02.09 | 2, 4, 1, 5. Haven't heard 3 or 6. | AnotherBrick
11.02.09 | 1, 2, 4, 5, 3 amputechture has one of my fav volta songs but i only really care for 2 of the songs on that album...they all rule though | ninjuice
11.02.09 | De-Loused
Frances
Octahedron
Bedlam
I haven't heard the other two. What they did to Cedric's vocals on Bedlam REALLLLYY bothers me. | AnotherBrick
11.02.09 | ninjuice for amputechture just listen to Day of the Baphomets and viscera eyes...it has some other good tracks but nothing too great | maqwep
11.02.09 | 1 is horrible, one of the worst albums ive heard.
2 is great, 3 is meh, 4 is meh, 5 is great, havent heard 6 | AnotherBrick
11.02.09 | how can you say 1 is horrible???? miranda that ghost is a mind blowing song | BenX02
11.02.09 | At maqwep: Care to explain why Frances the Mute is one of the worst albums you have ever hear?
I respect your opinion and everything, but I'm curios. | ninjuice
11.02.09 | What's wrong with Frances beside too much ambiance? Yeah, you have to fast forward through quite a bit, but the music is a 4 at least.
@AnotherBrick: I've heard good things about Tetragrammaton too...I'll just listen to the whole thing at some point. | WeepingBanana

11.02.09 | the very fact that theres so much pretentious noodling and ambient bullshit in the music is why i hate it so much. it's unnecessary. music that makes you fast forward through half of it is bullshit. and even when you get to the music it's nowhere near as good as the music on de loused so whats the point even picking it up.
just my pov. i love de loused and octahedron though | Niceinvader
11.02.09 | 5 belongs above 3 and 4 | tombits
11.02.09 | Great list. I hated Bedlam though, so that would probably go last. | ninjacat11

3 has some of my favorite TMV songs, but the album itself is a little hit or miss by Mars Volta standards.
1 is classic, so is 2.
5 is actually one of my favorite TMV albums.
4 drags a little bit in the middle, but it has some insane moments. | Jethro42

Haven'heard Octahedron yet | BenX02
11.02.09 | I can see why people don't like Frances, like I said, I didn't really like it much at first either, it's a lot to grasp. | PanasonicYouth

right now. 1 and 2 switch a lot | Taxt
11.02.09 | Amputechture is criminally underrated.
| quicksand89
11.12.09 | I agree. Amputechture is probably my fav Volta album. Then the rest seems about right. |
