I haven't really gotten into them yet, but the few songs I have of The Mars Volta are pretty cool.

Dude I love The Mars Volta, but I do have to agree that when they are live they get a little to spaced. One time they played Inertiatic ESP/Cicatriz ESP and it was 5 minutes of Inertiactic, 17 minutes of just noises, and 3 minutes of Cicatriz. I would get bored of that fast.
If you have noticed, DeFacto and ATDI are pretty much TMV in one band, DeFacto was much more latin and funk based, while ATDI had a much more Fugazi hardcore feel. And TMV in my opinion falls right between those two.
Another thing... Thomas Pridgon is the Neil Peart of The Mars Volta.

only thing i dont like about TMV lately is how cedric always sings falsetto. its always so high pitched, and he doesnt do any other ranges. i love FTM because there are some parts where the singing creeps me out, in a totally great way, but this is lost sometimes in concert.
otherwise, they are the best performers i have seen, besides radiohead, which is leagues above everyone.

Mars Volta sucks balls. Bought their 1st cd...crap. I think that they spent 10 minutes kicking the shit out of the amp heads...I could totally hear the spring reverbs warbling after the impacts.
