I just sampled the Frances the Mute tracks on iTunes and it sounds pretty awesome.

    Frances is my personal favorite. Can't go wrong w/ any as far as I'm concerned. The new one is EXCELLENT. Go get them all... quickly.

    The only one I wouldn't recommend to start with is Amputechture. I like De-Loused in the Comatorium a little better than Frances.

    I recommend you start with De-Loused in the Comatorium. Their newest album The Bedlam In Goliath is really good as well.

    I would go De-Loused, Bedlam, Frances and when you've completely immersed yourself in those then get Amputechture just to complete the collection.

    De-Loused in the Comatorium

    Start there & work your way forward.

    (DISCLAIMER: I am only writing this to annoy Audiodave. I don't mind the Mars Volta and haven't actually heard alot. Thank you.)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
