Okay, I've heard this name thrown around on a number of occasions, but I've never actually heard anything BY them. I've heard both positive remarks about them and negative remarks....everything from they are the best out there when it comes to progressive music...to they are just completely silly and nobody who knows anything about music should even waste their time.
So how about it? Any Mars Volta opinions out there? Are they good or not? I'm a fan of many differnet genres, but when it comes to rock, I like Opeth (Duh), Symphony X, Dream Theater, Katatonia, King's X, Kamelot etc etc. You get the idea. Above all, I like extremely profficient musicianship, excellent arangements and really good lyrics. Is Mars Volta something that would appeal to me? What would be the best album to start off on? The one that would make me want to go out and get more?
Thanks!!!
