heathen!
the mars volta are awesome! just listen to cassandra gemini II and it'll change your mind
ooh ooh!! i know what i'll do!! how about, i'll get all their albums, including their EP and see them 3 times. that good enough for you? i
do hope so!
FTM ruined the mars volta for me. they had the potential to be an AMAZING band. i gave them a massive chance (way bigger than any other band that disappoints me even ONCE live) and they just failed. pretentious crap imo. Deloused in the Comatorium is a good album...but they're an average band overall, and that's far-and-ahead their best song.
edit: just seen Carzy's post. if you'd seen them pre-FTM (cant remember if you did, you'll understand why i dislike them now. they're not a patch on what they used to be)
and also, i may have been wrong about the Chilis...they have maybe 2 good songs (Porcelain being the other)
