Well, I attempted to do two things with my post. Explain the overall hatred of the Mars Volta and explain my hatred of the Mars Volta, all in the same post. So, let me simplify: The reason I personally do not like them is that they don't make songs that I enjoy listening to in any way, shape, or form.
...Also, prog is hardly my stock in trade. I haven't really listened to much "Zany time signature muzak" for a long time, with a few high quality exceptions. I'm a minimalist man now! You hear that, world?
