First Mars Volta album is great, after that they got too overwrought musically and lost their energy. I still like the fact that Francis the Mute got into the UK album chart top 10 when it was released, back when these sorts of things still mattered a little in the general public's eyes. I didnt enjoy it much so i cant imagine how a casual listener who liked the single they put out would have felt about 10 minutes into one of those "movements" in the middle.
