Insurrection, get De-Loused first and if you like that by all means give this a try, but it's mostly boring wank prog with a couple of good parts

It has so many of them. Like the way every single time L'Via goes back to the latin groove it's somehow darker and more intense than before and by the last time after ALL THE WORMS part you want the groove sooo bad and them bam: delivered. Songwriting on this album is genius.

some of the songwriting is cool, but some of the ideas just dont work (most of the ideas). Like I said, this isn't a 'good' effort by the band. It's one that has a couple moments of absolute brilliance and the rest is taken aback by annoying bullshit. Its not the wank thats the problem though. Not at all.
