Re: Frances The Mute
Well, At The Drive in got big for a week, and The Mars Volta was basically At The Drive In's spawn. Yeah, The Mars Volta isn't exactly big, but Frances The Mute is ranked #22 on Amazon.com right now, so someone must have some interest in the band.
The Mars Volta has always had an appeal to me.....I don't think they are as soincally cohesive as At The Drive In was, but I think that's just the way they are. They're a jam band - so yeah, I guess you could call them Salsa rock. I still think they have a slight progressive side to their music, of course, it's nothing compared to what bands like Dream Theater or Dark Tranquillity have done, but meh.
Like I said before, for 6 dollars, you really can't go wrong with The Mars Volta. And yeah....the emo trend thing is pretty stupid. =/
