volta are without a doubt the greatest band of all time, i think you guys are just to fucking stupid to understand that. metal is one of the most dumbed down unemotional genres in the history of music. one day when volta goes down as the greatest group of all time maybe you guys will shut the fuck up and understand.

I honest to god spent the first 20 minutes of their set trying to figure out if their singer was a dude or a chick. I did get it eventually, but it was really fucking hard.

“Quite the live experience”? Mars Volta was easily the worst band I’ve ever seen live. I’ve heard that from a lot of people too. When I saw em open for SOAD, the guy next to me actually asked as he passed me by on the way to the beer line “Do you kids actually like that shit?” Maybe it was just a bad night for em or they had a shitty set up or something, but it literally was a wall of noise for the extent of their 40 minute set. I couldn’t make out a single song change. It sounded like they were trying to jam, but just failing and playing random notes. It was the most terrible live thing I’ve seen.

To the people who say they’re not “metal”: Cedric guest-ing on Blood Mountain is metal enough for me. Also, I would say Mastodon is more progressive than Protest The Hero, and therefore, win the title of “greatest” progressive band. But Protest is rad too.

@iolanach:

Misspelled “Protest the Hero” is more like it.

“OUR GENERATION’S GREATEST PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND”? Mars Volta?!? I think you misspelled Porcupine Tree.

I love this band. Granted, I hated the two middle albums, but the last one was pretty great, and De-Loused is a classic.

I dunno dude.

“Greatest progressive rock band”?

They’ve got one “great” album (De-Loused in the Comatorium) and a bunch of other material ranging from so-so to downright unlistenable.

Even hardcore At the Drive-In fans I know don’t bother to defend Mars Volta’s later material.

Meh.
