From you?

If I wanted to listen to someone attempting to fellate himself for an hour and a half, I would just as soon go to a Harvard lecture.

:rotfl:

:p

Not fans then?

(I mean buy it from anywhere, not me)

Heres my take on Frances the Mute. Basically they sound like an over dramatic Version of Led Zeppelin and all of those tracks total into 5 track with an average rate of 32:min. Dude first of all if I wanted to hear basically the same song over and over again, Id record a tape of the word Chalopa said over and over, cause that would be better then hearing "All night I’ll hunt for you " (over and over monotonously. I think the reason why this one stands out is the fact its not recorded on drugs, well I for one will speak for everyone when I say get back on them. Cause even there worst albums sounded better then frances the mute.

I've never actually heard the album, I just thought what Henry The Kid said was funny.

Oy, I HATED that album. Man, I've never heard anything more pretentious in my entire life. I got it cause I liked the song The Widow. too bad that's the only fully formed song on the entire cd.....

I admit it took me a while, a good 3-4 listens before i began enjoying.
And Frank, it's epic, man, epic

I'm going to try and listen to this...curiousity is killin' me!

Fantomas, Suspended Animation

Crazy album, very random.

Pyro: You and I are on the same wavelength.

The Mars Volta has been an overwhelming source of inspiration for me with my music. One of the only "mainstream" acts in music today that places more emphasis on musicianship, instrumentals, and creativity rather than trying to sound like every other thing on the scene today.
And, I really want to here that Fantomas cd. That's another project from Mike Patton right?

Heres my pick for an album to buy:
Slightly Stoopid - Closer to the Sun

Wasn't expecting much out of it, was put to shame. This cd is fantastic.

Huzzah, someone of music intelligence!

Yeah, Fantomas is a Patton project. A lot more prog than Tomahawk but a lot more interesting. I think Suspended Animation, their latest offering is also their best. It has a similar format to Fantomas/Amanzo al Mundo (sp?). The albums doesn't have what i'd call songs like in The Director's Cut but worth listening to, along with General Patton vs The X-Executioners if you're a Patton fan.

I'll look into Slightly Stoopid :)

Patton's a mad genius, my cousin is absolutely bonkers for Mr. Bungle and I've grown a certain addiction to them as well. "Goodbye Sober Day" is the sonic embodiment of what I hope Burton is doing with his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I own Tomahawk's Mit Gas album and love it to death.

Yeah, I have Mit Gas though not the self titled album. Got all Mr Bungle's proper albums, love the way that each album is a completely different experience, try 'Desert Search for Techno Allah' on Disco Volante, a rather cool yet odd song.

:yup: Coolest song on that CD.

Frances the Mute is definitely one of the best albums I've heard this year. Kind of Pink Floyd on good Latin speed, with a little bit of Zeppelin thrown in for good measure. My friend's mom says it sounds like two radios are playing at once while listening to this album... but I like that hectic sound.

Awesome Album, have to listen to it in its entireity to appreciate it fully!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, I can't stand The Mars Volta. I've listened to a few songs every now and then because I have a friend who's obsessed with them. Still can't stand em.
