5 stars Not only is this the best release so far this year, but one of the best, most creative modern albums I've heard so far this decade. And not only that either, but it's the Mars Volta's best album.

Be forewarned, however, this album is not for the faint of heart. The dynamics are intense and be prepared for quite a rocking album. This isn't your typical rocking album either, but it is full of absolutely stellar instrumentation, Cedric's powerful falsetto vocals, and everyone is on the top of their game instrumentally.

The style is the epitome of the Mars Volta sound. If you've heard any of the previous two Mars Volta albums and were underwhelmed by the amount of material in the lengths, no worries here! Every second is jampacked with innovative music, and again, this isn't for someone who is looking for your typical easy-going Beatles or Elton John CDs. Influences range from jazz and latin rhythms, avant-garde and vocalizer experimentation, but most of all, hardcore experimental psychedelic-tinged ROCK!!!

For any fan of modern or older rock who is willing to give anything a try, I extremely recommend this. Just be prepared for your subwoofer to explode!
