If you haven't heard them before:
Closest label would be progressive- or experimental-rock.

If you have heard them before:
What's your favorite album?
Favorite song?
What other bands would you suggest to someone who likes TMV?

[Rutherford The Brave]

I have all their albums, I don't listen to them much, Yes, Rush, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Jethro Tull are good prog rock bands.

What's your favorite album? Oh shit, they're all good. But I'd say Amputechture. Read my review for it Here. (http://virtualteen.org/forums/showpost.php?p=988729&postcount=15)
Favorite song? Don't know. Viscera Eyes currently
What other bands would you suggest to someone who likes TMV? Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (From mars volta), At The Drive-In, and El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. Also for prog fans, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson's album "Insurgentes", Kayo Dot if you really like the weird music from mars volta, and King Crimson.

Viscera Eyes is just a kick ass song. The whole album will blow your socks off though.

I have to say, though, Cassandra Gemini is my favorite song off my favorite TMV album, Frances The Mute.

It's close though.

Goliath was my favorite song off of Bedlam In Goliath. I have a really long live version of cassandra gemini that makes the song ten times better.
