Kudos, LOL


Yup. Seen some shitty shows but sometimes you get surprised so its worth the risk.

Ate a brownie, posts may become incoherent moving forward

Agreed. I love the first two albums (De-Loused is one of my all-time favourites) but I haven't enjoyed their later stuff much at all.

Their popularity curve reminds me of Muse a bit - the more popular they became, the more they seemed to be making music to match their fans' expectations rather than doing completely their own thing.

Frances was really good.
Amputechture was a shockingly masturbatory abortion.
Bedlam was too little, too late.
Octahedron was awesome by any other band's standard, but not for TMV.

Eloquently put

L'Via L'Viaquez might be my favorite song they've ever done....so Frances gets points for that.

Amen!

L'via...every time i engage autowah, i hit those first few notes. i have to. its in my fucking blood. tremulant to frances are unbridled genius and anyone who says otherwise, i will bang their female loved ones with reckless abandon.

I enjoyed Amputecture quite a bit too. I actually rank it higher than Frances just because of the fekking noise on Frances. The Amputecture tour was much more enjoyable too.

ATDI has been my favorite band for a long time. No one else can put that kind of energy into a song. It's kind of sad how they've become so tame since getting back together. TMV - never got into them.
