I hate to post so much about the same damn band...but lately I've been extremely hyped about the new album (which should be appearing in about 3-4 months)...it's driving me nuts! I have been re-hashing both of these albums to an uncontrollable extent and I've been driving my family crazy with my psychotic masterpieces instead of the much detested christams music...So I pick Frances, because it is more "elusive" if you will than De-loused, and because it is so much more open...I also like most of the music better, although it is much easier to see, hear, and feel the latin influence on the band in this album. ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

Frances The Mute, easily. I'll vote for DeLoused, though, on behalf of the person above me who accidentally voted for Frances. They have a new album coming out? Is there any info on it yet? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Ty1020/">

Its almost Futile to pick on edont ya think ....they both have their highpoints .....Ive been following the band since they started and In my own Opinion Its all Really Beautifull work and thats like asking to choose beetween two great things To me Frances is the way it is (unforgetable)Not just because it is but also because of how its predecessor was.
Can un believe people can listen one looped beat? It makes me ill

Frances! Better compositions, less punk influence, and overall a more impressive album. I'd give Deloused 4*, frances - the big 5 ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

I prefer De-Loused. I didn't really see what was the big fuss about Frances, even though it has some great moments, I feel that De-Loused fits together. I see Frances more like a good album with some great moments, and De-Loused a great album with some good moments, If you know what I mean....  -------------

| "Frances the Mute" is a very good album, but it gets too extreme and chaotic at certain moments. I prefer "De-loused" because, at least from my point of view, it is a more balanced album. |

Deloused is very tight, emotional, and the compositions are
fresh and make total sense. I find Frances rather rambling, and some of the ambient transitions are so endless and uninteresting, I'm always fast-forwarding through them to get to the music. It also seems to fall back more on cliché song structures (chordal structures) and the epics just go on too long without any real development, like that salsa figure that keeps coming back but nothing ever happens with it. That's just my opinion though, I understand how people could dig the crazy energy behind it. |

I think both rock and are both equally amazing but I have to go for deloused simply becuase its their first album plus it is alot more proggy and very psychadelic whilst Francis has eased up on that and gone down the 'long songs that feel short' route (which I also like) as well as haveing that more obvious latino influence (not that im complaining). f**k it I like them both anyway! ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!

Gonna have to go with De-Loused in the Comatorium. Frances the Mute has
its moments, especially the monstrous Cassandra Geminii, perhaps their
greatest composition to date. However, De-Loused is a far better
"album" than Frances; the songs are more structured, the "noise" much
more bearable, the high points higher, and an overall feeling of
"completeness" not heard on Frances. Frances only has 5 songs, and each
one contains one general musical idea (CG notwithstanding), while the
songs on De-Loused run through many ideas in 8 minutes. Vismund Cygnus
and L'Via are awesome songs, but they don't hold a candle to Roulette
Dares or Drunkship of Lanterns

^ haha...wow i disagree with that...but i'll accept that answer. I think Cygnus out-does every song on De-loused...plus Cygnus runs through a multitude of musical ideas in ten minutes...roulette dares is the song expressing little musically, although i still love the song. i will agree that de-loused is much better "put-together" but I like the music/premis/overall feeling that frances gives me more than i do on de-loused...although, like it's been said, they are both astounding. thanks to all for your input.  ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

I got Frances...quite a while ago, and for some reason I did not pay much atettion to it, although I knew how "great" it was because of all the stuff said about it in this site...but a week ago I got an inch to hear it again...and I was sold...Frances is a masterpiece, De-Loused was great...but this is so much more than great!!!
