5 stars Toghter with Lateralus by Tool this is my favorite modern prog album, and while i love the other mars volta albums this debute is still thiere best so far. It sound like a mix of punk and prog yes its not suposed to be posible too mix thos two but here is the prof its not impossible, the album starts with the most stright forward song of the album Inertiatic ESP culd have been a hit probobly maybe it was i dont know realy. the other songs that follows are longer and more complex with lots of diffrent changes of melody and riffs. Excpet for the almost ballad and very beautifull Televators, most of the songs are pretty fast with slower sections thrown in. the sound of the album culd be described as punk prog and salsa latino rythms and alot of other things mixed toghter sometimes sound a bit like Santana. Well theres no point in decribing the album or the songs more this is simply one of the best modern prog albums and if your new to mars volta make sure this is the album you start with as its much more accesible then thire later ones. 5 solid stars a real groundbreaking masterpice of heavy prog that will sound fresh for a very long time and probobly be referd to as one of the best toghter with the old 70s ones in the future. A must have no mather what style your in too you must try this.
