At The Drive-In VS. The Mars Volta

This is a tough one. I'm going to go with TMV though. Even though I listen to ATI more I feel that TMV's albums are more exciting.
 
mars volta, I'd say. I just find them more interesting. but thats just me

also, check out Omar Rodriguez's solo ****, with a eyar hes made liek 6 full albums that are all mindblowing
 
Easily wrong.

For me it's a toss up between Frances, Amp and Bedlam and that opinion will change depending on mood, De-Loused is brilliant, at any one time it's better than two of these albums, but will never be my favourite.
 
Relationship Of Command is better. I was just saying that I even like their second best over TMV's best (Though I'm not sure if I like it, or TBIG better).
 
Ahahaha, I voted for ATDI by accident, but yeah. TMV is my favourite modern band, it eclipses all else and is the only true (or even close to being) mainstream/semi-mainstream modern prog band. It's actually doing stuff that sounRAB different, and it does it so well. I love all their albums but Bedlam did it so much more for me recently. Amputechture however blew my mind completely when I first heard it. It's all good. But ATDI is mediocre at best, total crap generally.
 
Definitely At The Drive-In. They produced my favorite album ever, and I listen to them more often. I really like The Mars Volta too, though.
 
Which would be?

I'm not really into either, I think Cedric Bixler-Zavala's vocals are too grating for me to enjoy properly. I won't deny that Omar's guitar wanking is pretty cool.
 
Theres another thread like this but instead of closing this one and linking to the existing one. I'll leave this one open and edit it to make it more broad if thats fine with you FaSho. I'll add Sparta as well.
 
In/Casino/Out is amazing too. Too many people only like Relationship Of Command.

"Napoleon Solo", "Lopsided" and "Hourglass" are the best songs from that album, IMO.
