Title: complex, deeply nuanced and intelligent rock and roll
Review: The Mars Volta have managed an impressive feat with their first full-length CD: music that will appeal to listeners from just about every genre imaginable. You will hear and read comparisons to Rush, Santana, punk and thrash, latin folk music, Radiohead, and many others, and all of those comparisons, while totally viable, are somewhat incomplete simply because they fail to take into account the full range of massive talent evident in this recording. Even the spastic thrash of ATDI reappears at certain points in the disc, but only breifly and with great effect.We have been treated to some amazing music in 2003, including the blood brothers, Radiohead and now The Mars Volta. Don't miss adding this piece of brilliance to your music collection.
