I wasn't very serious you know. 
As a matter of fact, I haven't voted in the poll because I haven't heard 10,000 Days.

Amputechture is TMV's best. Tool are barely passable for me in general, and the new one is quite horrid.

has to be TOOL for me; the only TMV I have heard is on this sites MP3, and something tells me we wouldn't get on together...

^^ shouldn't base the mars volta on the one song you've heard on this site. They are very diverse. Especially a song from deloused (which IMO is much less prog than both Frances and Amputechture.)
I voted for Amputechture because I think it's a fantastic album that establishes a lot of haunting moods throughout. Very emotional. 10,000 days is also very good but I am still sticking with the mars volta on this one.

Amputechture has become one of my all time favorite albums within the forst two nonth of its release - something that has never happened to me before. Pefection in music.
10,000 days is pretty good, but it's Tool's most boring album.

10,000 Days may have been a little disappointing but it far surpasses the aimless, boring, rehashed noodling that is Amputechture.

Now that I finally own both albums, I can vote. Although Amputechture
is good, I prefer 10,000 Days. TMV better start varying themselves more
soon.

Amputechture is the better album, but 10,000 days isnt bad either! In fact it has the Wings epic, which is the ebst thing Tool might have ever done!

I don't see why people think the mars volta sound the same on amputechture as they always have. Their sound is FAR different on amputechture. They added the slower more pink-floyd esque sound much more and added a lot of ambient jazz sections with the saxophone that really didn't exist in their previous albums (with the exception of certain parts of Cassandra Geminni.)
The vocals are also very different this time around. A lot of changes in the register and backing vocals that are very high make it a lot different than any of their other albums vocally.
Just don't understand the "sounds the same" comparisons. I would with Tool and 10,000 days, but not the mars volta.

10,000 Days - Tool's best and my fave CD from this year
Amputechture - TMV's worst, 70 minutes of filler(each song could have been half shorter and hence less boring) and one nice song ("Vermicide")
Gosh, I've just started the same poll.Excuse me

10'000 Days is good enough. Not bad at all. Really good follow-up to Lateralus. Although, 10'000 Days is an album with many FILLERS. Wings For Marie, for example, too much long and boring. Nevertheless, Vicarious is a great track.
Amputechture - best Mars Volta album after De-Loused. I suppose, there IS ONLY ONE FILLER - last track, really boring. First track is some kind of intro with guitar solo - nice. Tetragrammaton is a bit too long, I think it should have been shorter, but the track is good in whole. Viscera Eyes is one of my favs on this album. Day Of The Baphomets - IMPRESSIVE, WONDERFUL track. My favorite Mars Volta song, really. Drum solo in the middle is just great!!!
So, Mars Volta wins.

Just listened to the vinyl edition of Amputechture and discovered that all 4 sides are "broken" at the end ... after the last track the record player is caught in a loop. It must be intentional ... brilliant idea!
