Frances the mute could be one of my favorite albums...if the sound effects and noise at the end of Cygnus, The Widow and L´Via L´Viaquez would be shorter...I hope their next album has less noise...but still, a bit of it is good...too much...not that great

I thought it was excessive in France the Mute, I hope they'll cut it down for the next album

I felt it was waaaaaaay too excessive on Frances... and I just plain didn't like De-loused. So even if they were to cut down, it probably wouldn't effect me much, since I'm not overly interested in trying out what they put out next.

I loved De-Loused... but there was way to much noise on FTM, if they cut it down slightly on their next album it will be a masterpiece, I'm sure of it.

exactly

I didn't mind much the noise in Frances The Mute but I would like it if in the next album they cut on some of the noise.

The noises are where they should be and in the quantity they should be. Otherwise they wouldn't be there

I agree. generally I do not like noises, but in both albums they are just in the right places, and, moreover, these noises seem to be essential to put the listener in the right mood - they are adding to the general atmosphere of the album, IMO.

There's no option for those who believe the Mars Volta should use noise inbetween sections and songs BUT want noises that fit instead of random crap. If you don't already know what 'random crap' is, listen to the last 1-2 minutes of The Widow off Frances The Mute. What a waste of time.

New sounds!!

I agree with that, though some of the time on Frances I think the noise segments went on too long without much of a change.

I'm really hoping for something drenched in salsa. They could make it work well.

Who cares what we want?

The day The Mars Volta starts caring about what anybody else thinks, is the day I stop listening to them.

I wouldn't change a single thing about FTM. I think it's absolutely brilliant.

I think that its not my Favourite aspect about The Volta but I DEFINITELY would not ask them to get rid of, change, or cut down on it....or anything for that matter.

some sounds 'lower' the overall level of the album's quality

still good but they need to cut down some useless, IMO, effects

I'm tired of that

Noise? What Noise?
The Mars Volta don't use noises

This is noise:
