Frances The Mute
Staplegun:
You just sound like you were having a bad night, James. But it's not for everyone anyhow.
When I saw Coheed And Cambria live, (NOT by choice, mind you), I was very miffed with them. They just talked a lot about how hairy they were.
I have to admit though, even if I hate their music, they were pretty tight as far as not screwing up a lot goes.
Psiogen:
I love me some good prog rock, but the only thing separating the Mars Volta from hundreds of other laughable B-list neo-prog outfits is their indie rock "pedigree".
Alkatyl:

--- Quote from: jeph ---I hated At the Drive-In, I hate the Mars Volta, and Sparta are just kind of boring.

I bet you also hate America too, don't you!

I could have sworn they are from places like Cuba, Lebanon and Mexico.
Edit: I found this on an old reveiw, and it sums up my feelings exactly;
Cedric's wailing vocals are a huge trademark: the band's detractors call it tuneless wailing. For my part, I am won over by the pure passion in his voice. Have you ever heard someone's voice described with a line like "she could sing a page out of the phone book and make your cry"? Cedric's lyrics sometimes read like an abstract technical manual, but he still overpowers me with his emotion. The rest of the band doesn't slouch either and I could spend paragraphs talking about any aspect of the band's sound, but it all comes down to the fact that it's original, powerful and compelling.
jal-vani:
i picked up the new album last night, and i was hoping that having a second album worth of material would make the live shows less... painful (15 minutes of whammy isn't that fun) unfortunately, that's not the case.
but, i do love frances. it's just not going to help the live shows much.

--- Quote from: James ---Yeah, you're right Staplegun, I tricked myself into being bored because I was having a bad night. In reality, I couldn't have enjoyed the self-indulgent stylings of the Volta more! SHITTT!

This I will have to remember for my description of when I saw Sonic Youth!
