Have to say.......... The Mars Volta has tons of rewards for the listener. That's not to say that to many people's ears it's "crappola". I really really like it, nonetheless.
I thought Mercury Rev was the new Pink Floyd. At least that's what they said about their Deserter's Song CD. I think that's a better comparison to a new PF than Mars Volta. I would say that Mars Volta is the new Led Zeppelin.
