As promised few days ago, here's the review special of The Mars Volta period from 2003 to 2009, including albums "De-loused in the Comatorium" (2003), "Frances the Mute" (2005), "Amputechture" (2006), "The Bedlam in Goliath" (2008) and "Octahedron" (2009).

Nice to see it finally up!
While I have to say I disagree with you on a number of points (the inter-track ambiance on Frances interrupting the flow, Bedlam being "Amputechture Part II"), it's nice to see your perspective on it. There's a surprising dearth of reasonable critical evaluations of this band (people usually either "love 'em" or "hate 'em", and the reviews tend to follow suit), so this was a refreshing read.
Also it's "Gemini", not "Geminni". Don't feel bad, though, you're far from the first person to make that mistake.

actually in the booklet it does say geminni.

actually in the booklet it does say geminni.

yeah, I was gonna point this out too, but then I figured that was what was meant by "you're far from the first person to make that mistake".

Cedric has stated on the record that the CD text is in error.
