Please don't! I've just played some to my 18 year old son, who is training to be a a musician, and his comment was "turn that crap off, it's an absolutely horrible racket" so it's not just me. TMV polarise opinion. I'm pleased you love them. But I don't.

I'm just not "getting" Amputechture. Deloused for me, by far their most cohesive album, IMO.

Amputechture is amazing... and this is coming from someone who up until hearing Amputechture for the first time yesterday, derided everything TMV laid hands on. Can't stand their past albums, but this new one is rocking my world! Excellent, excellent, excellent album.

DELOUSED!!!!!!
They're all good, but Deloused was more focused than these last two. I also wish they would progress a bit more with their sound. They obviously have tons of talent and potential, but 3 albums of bombastic noodlish w**kery is enough, they should experiment with something else for a while.

Amputechture!
They just keep getting better and better. I always wanted to know what it would feel like to witness the growth of a great band in the scale of Genesis and Yes in the seventies. It seems that with The Mars Volta I'm getting what I wished for. I can't wait to see what they will do next.

Oh whatta hell! I pick Amputechture. Volta keep expanding their sound, and the adding of brass instruments fits very nicely.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,
Pondering his Voyage.

When the world is sick
Can't no one be well
But I dreamt we were all
beautiful and strong

I'm really not feeling Amputechture yet. It has some awesome
moments, but it sounds as if they were all put in a blender and burned
on to the CD. De-loused and Frances had flow, Amputechture has
too many random transitions between and inside songs.
Frances will always be my favorite because it was the first one I heard.

I currently regard Amputecthure as the best, but I will listen to them all before I vote. I'm not entirely sure...

To celebrate the release of Amputechture, and the ability to speak of it without being flamed now that it has been officially released, I give you this poll.
