Mars Volta isn't too bad, and At-The Drive In is fucking amazing, but yeah the band is corny as fuck. Give me Pink Floyd any day.
At the Drive-In was indeed a very nice band. I never could get into the Mars Volta though, I think it's too high pitched in a way that just weirds me out.
I dislike C&C even more though. Shame because there is so many great prog rock/metal bands these days and C&C seems to be one of the first people often think about. It's like people thinking that black metal is this goofy ass genre thanks to Immortal memes and that somehow Deafheaven is saving it. Nothing against Deafheaven, but that's a bad perception right there. The same happens when people think about contemporary progressive rock and C&C is the band they go to instead of Porcupine Tree.
