I'm currently on a Chevelle kick. I recently picked up La Gargola, and it's a good album. These guys have been so solid over the years, they're really much better than many of their contemporaries and unlike so many bands of the past decade, have remained stable and focused on their art. Somehow they've maintained their contract with a major label when so many others have gotten the boot as of late and went indie.
Anyhow, I have to recommend them. So many good albums from them. They've very accessible and catchy, but also a very talented and interesting band within the scope of the mainstream.

I haven't listened to them since vena sera, but they're always a good time. I might have to pick up the albums I've missed.
Their one downfall is they're terrible live. I've seem them like 6 times opening for other bands and they tend to disappoint.

I think the main problem is the vocalist isn't so great at multi tasking his vocals and guitar playing. He comes up with really cool riffs and excellent vocals, but his performance of both at once tends to be a bit sloppy. Not always, but sometimes its a bit too rough around the edges.

That sounds about right. My complaint was always the vocals during the shows.
