Genius? Mediocre? Shitty? Pretentious overlong bullshit? What does /mu/ think?
I don't know if I would call it genius but I enjoy it a lot. One of my favorites from the past decade
Genius. Greatest album of the past fifteen years
The first album was great, second was okay, and then the rest was yeah...
ATDI is more fun to go back to, TMV feels like a chore sometimes

Goddamn fucking amazing.
The closest we'll get to a Dark Side of the Moon of the 2000's.

frances the mute was great and only gets shat on by /mu/ because it got panned so fucking hard by p4k

Frances is great, but kind of falls off as it goes on. Like yeah, it's structure is more "prog" with drawn out ambiance and a 30 minute song/jam but I feel like its strength lies mostly in the first half of the album. I think DITC's more straight forward direction made for a more enjoyable experience making it my favorite. Amputechture is probably the hardest to get into, but I would have to say it's my second favorite just because I'm a dirty scumbag. Bedlam is a fun album with good energy and I do love plenty of moments on it, but I just can't put it above any of their first three. Same thing can be said for Octahedron. As for Noctourniquet, I actually really like it and would say it almost ties with DITC as my favorite TMV album.
So yeah.

Hear it with the Title track put where it was originally intended, as track 1. Frances the Mute is actually a concept album.
>>60449249
I was actually just going to mention the title track as it is one of my favorite TMV songs if not my all time favorite. I think I would hold Frances the Mute in a higher regard if they included it. And yeah I've looked into the concept which I think is pretty awesome and it kind of justifies not putting the title track in (the whole deal about a "missing link/piece"). I just think the ambiance could have been cut a tad and it wouldn't have lost anything.

Very well-done and well-performed. Not amazing, but not a bad way to spend an hour or so. It also probably got plenty of people into better music, but not on here obviously considering people refuse to listen to non-/mu/-approved music.
>>60449097
that album is overrated as fuck, so you could well be right
>>60448975
A classic album of the 2000's if there ever was one. Next level musicianship

this
The two first tracks of the album are absolutely mindblowing, (I consider Frances the mute to be the first as intended) then it falls off a bit.
I don't know why, but in my opinion TMV usually has two or three amazing songs per album,then the rest is a bit lackluster in comparison.
