OK, so  i saw TMV for the first time last night, i have only ever heard Frances and Eriatarka from De Loused. OK the band were awesome, the extended jams seemed to work and held the audience in a trance, so i'm hooked, i've seen the light, is there anyone out there doing stuff like this?

I've posted a review of sorts somewhere else on prog archives but i just needed to write this so that someone could perhaps say"yeah i know how you feel". Simply awesome!

Really, though TMV are great.  I don't think there is anyone quite like The Mars Volta, and to some people that's probably a good thing!

TMV bassist Juan Alderete says Theodore is the best drummer he's ever worked with...this coming from a guy who plays with Travis Smith in Racer X. TMV has an amazing rhythm section.

I would disagree. I think Frances is FAR better than deloused even though
they both are great albums.

And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
