I'm hard-pressed to think of a band more consistent than The Mars Volta. Deloused In The Comatorium is their first album and a lot of fans' favorite. It's a great way to introduce yourself to the band before they get a little more funky with each successive release. (On a side note, my personal favorite Mars Volta album is their latest The Bedlam in Goliath. For a bit of interesting reading, google interviews with the band about the making of the album...two words: Oujia Board).
I love The Mars Volta's sound. It's Prog-Metal, but also psychedelic. The vocals seems to be a love or hate it thing. I've heard several critics refer to their harmonies as too electronic sounding, but I think that's one of the dozen things that makes them unique.
Highly Recommended
