Mars Volta easily. They are really keen on moving forward and exploring new territory.
Coheed is nothing new really.

while I think Coheed has a couple of filler songs per each album...but TMV isn't immaculate either. Both bands are great. I think they'reboth moving away from the sound that made them famous (TMV with Bedlam and C&C with No world for tomorrow) but still good arraingements on both parts.
Best by each:
TMV - Frances the mute (De-Loused is close...)
C&C - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth (Good Apollo part 1 is better instrumentally, but ehh............)

That being said, I think that the Mars Volta are better because Coheed's discography is way too spotty (several clunkers on each disc) while the Mars Volta have been always consistent and progressive and just amazing.

If you like that one then I heartily recommend the second part. Personally I didn't care for Part 1 too much... Good songs, yes, but a bit slow at points. I think that No World For Tomorrow is far superior.

I really like The Mars Volta but I have only heard the PA samples of Coheed & Cambria.

Kind of very hard to compare both bands, really. A song like The Willing Well is nothing like a song like
Cassandra Geminni.
For my vote I simply focused on who I listen to more, even though I like both bands a lot. I voted for C&C because - although Mars Volta is much more highly regarded - I'm more of a guy for rock melodies rather than post-punk dissonance. However, now that I've said that I will surely be carried away by a torch wielding crowd. My money is on Mars Volta to win this poll, but I think you should give C&C's new album a spin (unless that's the one you have... there are 2 Good Apollos, you know). If you like something more straightforward then C&C is for you, if you like it complex and weird then MV are much better.

I just bought one album by each (the ones of which this poll name is formed). I haven't really digested them yet, but I think I like De-Loused better.
I'm curious, though, about which band is more highly regarded (over the course of their respective careers), since I think of them both being in the same category (Progressive Alt-Punk-Rock).  |
