Well, more like Mars Volta is a hit or miss around here - plenty of fans but plenty of people that can't stand them.  Whereas VdGG is one the big pillars (although of course even they have their detractors, as does every artist).

Yeah, that definitely makes sense. I was just anticipating it not to be this lopsided.

De-Loused in the Comatorium alone makes me vote TMV, let alone their other 3 albums.

Maybe we can gradually rise up and overthrow the VDGG fan overlords.

Dang.

Screw you, Febus.

I only have the Bedlam and Pawn Hearts, but they're both so obnoxious that I cant even vote.

Yeah, I understand your outlook there.

I'm not a VDGG hater or anything, I just think all of TMV's albums are really good... and De-Loused and Bedlam are absolute masterpieces. Closest thing VDGG has to a masterpiece, IMO, is Godbluff. And that's still like 4 stars.

Yay opinions!
