A psychedelic fusion of prog-rock, jazz, noise, unrelenting solos, crescendos... and saturated with enough effects to shake an ouroborous at. Here we have a fucking album album... as in front to back magic.
Arcade Fire's Neon Bible was the last album to strike me as a full front to back, but the technical merit of The Mars Volta cannot be compared.
Be sure to get this on your pod and in your car
