First time on /mu, not sure what most of the threads are about, but I was looking at reviews for Mars Volta albums and I've noticed they're almost always negative, what does /mu think? I'll love their music either no matter what, but I'm curious, what's the Issue with Mars Volta?
they hate to admit how much they love them
it's pretty easy to meme too:
>EXOSKELETAL JUNCTION AT THE RAILROAD DELAYED
they're basically the aesthetic middle ground between reddit sensibilities and 4chan sensibilities so most people don't know what to think
myself included
They're one of the most polarizing bands of all time. Recently there's been a lot of Mars Volta threads.
>/mu/ says they're mariachi slipknot
>listen to them
>they're actually salsa king crimson

neither of those are unappealing descriptions btw

I like the mariachi slipknot even if it's not that accurate lmao
>>73618478
I love the lyrics they're absolutely nonsensical

>First time on /mu
more like first time on 4chan
>>73618610
Mariachi slipknot is extremely unappealing

>empujo mis dedos en misssss
Almost all their lyrics are a meme here 'cause their "nonsensical nature".
Personally I enjoy them a lot and they get into my Top 10, they were very original with their sound and great exponents of prog rock from the 21st Century.

>salsa King Crimson
I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a more accurate description.

I think it's mainly p4k and associated hipstercore reviewers. p4k absolutely hated prog for most of their early years. gave TMV a 2 for FTM, Tool a 1.9 for Lateralus.
I like At the Drive-In more.
First Mars Volta album is pretty cool though.
Good instrumentals (Jon Theodore is the man)
Shitty non-sensical lyrics.
Come at me, pretentious faggots.

>Come at me, pretentious faggots.
you seem to hold the pretense that lyrics have to abide by logic
TMV is awesome. Nocturniquet is the only album I can't get into. I must say I don't understand the love for FTM though. IMO its probably their 4th best. deloused and amputechture are amazing.
Literally no one has ever hated on them. They're aweseome.
