Frances The Mute
Johnny C:
Yeah, I like the Minutemen about as much as I like TMV.
WARNING: TASTES MAY DIFFER.
Tartar Martyr:
Tastes May Differ = True
Proclaiming that the Mars Volta are a bunch of no talent wankers = Retarded
You can dislike their music for any reason you wish, but denying the talent in the band is just ignorant. Drums, Bass and Guitar players in tMV can play circles around their counterparts in any other current popular rock group. I would include keyboards, but keyboard players are a dying breed.
For examples of this, listen to Drunkship of Lanterns on De-Loused. The guitar solo, rhythm holds while guitar pulls against it, then the guitar turns around and plays with it and it feels like the song has taken off but the tempo is the same. More examples? Any of the sick blues lines Omar lays down on Frances the Mute.
Yeah, you can say they are just a deriviative of early King Crimson and Yes. But there is nothing else like them, at the level they are doing it, being produced today.

I'm quoting myself cause I said all of this 2 months ago. So yeah, if they're not your style, fine. Saying they suck is like saying Eric Clapton doesn't know how to play a guitar.

Saying that it is pointless for musicians to continue writing concept albums is like saying novelists should just give up writing fiction. That's just an ignorant thing to say. A concept album, done well, is a perfectly valid approach to writing and creating music.
rudeboy:
Saying they are talented is like saying Good Charlotte isn't assholes for using that one Specials line. I could easily take my friend's guitar, and make it out of tune purposely, play it upside down, and near his amp and sound like a total asshole. It doesn't mean that I have talent. I have nothing against long songs, heck, one of my favorite bands is streetlight manifesto, and their songs are pretty long, and stretches out even longer, live.
