Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Not heard Any Volta, was looking for an insightful description like this. Now I'm intrigued, I may have to stream an album at the weekend.

edit - obviously depending on my mood

The thing I have found, even though I am a fan, is that their albums are DENSE. There is a LOT of information. I am actually surprised they released as much as they did in such a relatively short period of time.
 
Screw it. I bought Frances the Mute. With store credit it came out to $15.

I’m not a huge Mars Volta fan, but that album in particular has always stuck with me. Even after not having listened to it in almost a decade.
Frances The Mute is a spectacular album! I’m not a huge The Mars Volta either because I am still digesting their discography slowly, but Frances The Mute is such a flavourful, theatrically indulgent, progressive, ferocious, musically ambitious masterpiece! I freaking love that VMP introduced me to The Mars Volta! 🙏

The Mars Volta exclusives I’m getting are Frances The Mute and Amputechture! Those two albums are great but Frances The Mute is obviously the album I prefer more and I would honestly rate it a 10/10! 🎯
 


Early store drop day?

Sweet, this looks to confirm that they dropped PRP in favour of Pallas then for the rest of the series (which they did for 5-6). I had no end of issues with the first 4 (PRP) they released but no issues with 5-6 (Pallas).
