94. De-Loused In The Comatorium - The Mars Volta[/B]



Ok hipster kids, don't get too comfortable now just because I already name dropped Wilco and Neutral Milk Hotel, of course I like The Mars Volta. I mean sure their music is nearly structureless, is full of plain random weirdness and their lyrics make little to no sense, oh wait, that's obviously right up my alley. De-Loused is their only album where I actually understand the theme, which makes me enjoy the music more as well. I'm a big fan of surrealism and that's pretty much what I get out of this music, it's so deliciously disorienting, intoxicating and inorganic.
Favorite tracks: Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of), Drunkship Of Lanterns, Eria Tarka, This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed.

I got this about a week ago. I thought it was rubbish at first, but I gave it a few more listens, then suddenly, it clicked with me. I love TMV now. Especially in De-loused.
