NO!

The Mars Volta are a terrible, terrible band, and I don't like them. It is necessary to leave some evidence of this here because a friend of mine, let's call him "Shane" to protect his identity, introduced me to the band and decided they were my favourite because I have a Martian-themed webbed log. They are well and truly cringe worthy. I will leave it up to your selves to search out video footage of the Mars Volta "performing" on David Letterman's late night television program.
