One of favorite albums to this day. Absolute masterpiece of prog/art rock.

"Yeah this is way more cohesive than Deloused" LMAO I love this a lot....but this is the opposite of cohesive...this is a conflicted piece...they put one song on each side of the disc and fill the rest with high on crack atmo. Gotta love it for what it is.

this is kinda cohesive in that each song is them playing like 3 riffs in alternation until they get bored and stop

I started playing drums about a year ago, and since a couple months ago when I figured I was decent, Jon Theodore-era Mars Volta became one of my favorite things to practice because he always throws so many ghost notes and other things to trip you up. Almost every track with him is super super difficult, but Cygnus is one of my mountains. I tried to cover it just tonight and holy shit I am so not ready for that song lol

Oh absolutely do it. I'd say just listen to this one first because it's their best by far.



And yeah, Theodore's a beast behind the kit

Amp > this > Deloused > who cares... is definitely the post-ascension take.
