I like them both. ATDI is AWESOME. I think they edge out the mars volta a bit. ---

the Mars Volta: I just think they are a little better at what they do. ---

The Mars Volta takes it for me. ---

Here’s my beef De-Loused is a sick album, but Frances the Mute did not really live up to De-Loused at all. A few really good tracks, but just enough to hold on. For me, Octahedron is GOOD. I like a lot of the songs, and the album itself tells a great story. But still, I keep thinking, they need another De-Loused. That’s what kills it for me. I don’t think they will have another album as good. ---

LOL i knew that was coming and I agree. I am basing my opinion on the fact that I like De-Loused over any ATDI stuff. However ATDI was great as well and probably would have made oh so many sweet albums if they stayed together. ---

However ATDI was great as well and probably would have made oh so many sweet albums if they stayed together. This is pretty much my thought on the subject. I wasn’t a huge Mars Volta fan but my wife’s obsession with them has slowly started to change that. ---

The Mars Volta has more songs that really wow me, but a lot of songs I dont like at all, but ATDI is more consistent in what I think is many “decent” songs. My vote went to Mars Volta simply because of Inertiatic esp! Songs just nasty. ---
