Yeah, this seems to be the case. I'm not sure why Apple Music lists it as 1980.

Mars Volta ain’t my thing. It’s too much and not in a fun way.

I fucking LOVE this one. I've still never gone too deep with the rest of their catalogue, strangely, but this one I can play over and over again without getting sick of it. Most of my friends feel more like @TenderLovingKiller® where this one's concerned, though.

Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast

I find this to be OK. Even with its historical significance to heavy metal, it comes off as kitschy. Not a fan of Bruce Dickinson's overtly dramatic vocals. The opening track "Invaders" is one of the weakest I've heard from a classic metal record.
Some classic songs ("The Number of the Beast," "Run to the Hills," and "Children of the Damned") of course. "Hallowed be Thy Name" is a great closer. The rest of the album tracks are mostly meh.
The 80s era of heavy metal was one that I loved back in high school days, but I've long since come to realize that it is dated now.
Rating: 2.5/5 [Decent]
EDIT: misspelled song title
Perhaps that would change my perspective. But that means shelling out arena concert money.

This is the only Mars Volta I can get on board with and I find it dips even then after the opening.
I just remember this feeling a bit of a disappointment to me at the time. Relationship of Command was, and remains, an all time favourite, and this band and album just didn’t feel in the same class.

This is a good Monday morning drive to work album. Keeps me awake. I love how the guitar and vocals seems to be complete noise, but somehow they all work together. A lot of times the vocals are processed like just another instrument in the mix. I also really like the unpredictability. I know I'm describing most prog, but I like how one song can go from a beautiful melody, to a catchy hook to complete chaos within the same 30 seconds. 5/5 for me.
I've tried other Mars Volta albums and this always seems to be the one that clicks with me. Frances the Mute is a pretty close 2nd but it is just way too long for it's own good.

One of my absolute favourite albums through high school and university. Don't listen much anymore (didn't help that VMP's pressing was so riddled with issues) but a very formative record.

What were the VMP issues? I thought mine sounded pretty good. But then again, what VMP release didn't have some sort of issues, even if isolated.

This reminds me that Sparta is playing at this dumpy dive bar/arcade right by me tonight. Unfortunately it's the woman I'm dating's bday, and couldn't convince her to spend it there, lol.

The initial press was covered in noise, especially over the quieter passages.. I think I had 3 and just gave up.

This sounds an awful lot like Dylan and Pink Floyd made album after spending a weekend with David Byrne. They’re an odd band.

Brothers in Arms. It took me a bunch of listens to appreciate it. I also have the mofi which was a PIF from @Mather because someone tagged me after strong initial reactions from me when we pulled it here.
It’s also really one of them audiophile records, it sounds so good that you end up enjoying it.
