[Spenny]

Deloused. Only album of theirs I enjoy.

[Neo Cassady]

Deloused is the only one I could ever really get into.

[E. Clectic]

I love Frances the Mute.

Slightly more than Deloused.

[OhNoVandetos]

Deloused In The Comatorium

Octahedron is the only one i didnt get into

[barkingincision]

bump

[showyourteeth]

deloused
but amputechture is a very close second

This.

Bedlam in the Goliath....very overlooked and underrated.

[Joeypeapot777]

Wax Simulacra still makes me pee.

[FullCollaspe]

Frances>Deloused>Bedlam. All three are great though. Couldnt care less about the other two

[harveyn590]

Really?

I think every album is great in its own way. They never repeat themselves and always manage to do something creative

Deloused

[MattDennis]

I believe I made this poll a few months ago, but you expressed concern that I didn't include the Tremulant EP. My favorite is Frances, but only narrowly over Deloused.

Definitely true, but De-loused is still better methinks.

sorry brother. i don't remember saying anything about trem but here it is again.

you need to try harder.

[dave vegan]

Deloused is my favorite, but the Tremulant EP is fucking amazing. Sad to see it doesn't have any votes. I bet a lot of Volta fans don't even know about it.

[mymusicismylife]

Definitely Deloused.

[Festivus]

Deloused, but I'll admit that I got into them via Frances.

[atainder]

Deloused by a long margin..

[MattDennis]

Yeah man it's all good. I will always support Mars Volta discussion/at the top of the poll forum. Just don't be bummed when Deloused gets all the praise and wins by a landside. It's inevitable.

[xapplexpiex]

I like almost all of the albums, but Deloused is my favorite.

no i expect it and agree. not only is deloused the best record of all time (IMO), we're on absolutepunk.net.
truly open minds are mostly lacking around here.

[inthemidst]

Deloused.

Has anyone seen Get Him to the Greek? Jonah Hill makes a reference to TMV in the movie, then plays one of their tracks over a speaker.

[stereokiller]

Can anyone drop in the "best one to start with" bit?

I tried listening to Octahedron but couldn't get into it. I'm a big fan of TSOAF's debut record, if that helps.

i heard about that. doesn't he play Take The Veil from their live album or something? i heard he's got their posters somewhere in there too.
haha

I couldn't tell what song it was; he only played it for a couple seconds, then made a crazy face, haha. You should see the movie by the way; best comedy so far this year.

will do.

[barkingincision]

didn't expect AMP to be so low, that album has some good cuts.

[MattDennis]

Agreed on both counts. Viscera Eyes is among my absolute favorite songs of theirs. No question it's a better record than their last two. Bedlam is just flashier (thank you Pridgen) and Octahedron is more accessible.

i've been debating if it's better (as a whole) than bedlam, recently though

Although I believe Bedlam comes in a close second.

[Steeeve Perry]

Deloused will win by an absolute landslide, but I probably prefer Bedlam. I chose on accident cos I'm halfway retarded. I hate Amputhecture.
