I am a huge mars volta fan, while i don't think this is their best work, i would highly recoment this album. It is epic in scale, and more progressive than their first. Incredibly catchy grooves on cignus, jawdropping guitar solos throughout, one of the most creative and infuential bands of our time.

I fully agree with Elston...
This album needs much more time to grow than previous release but when you finally get into it's way better...
VERY satisfying CD...

From Elston 04/18/2008 23:45
With the exception of some very unique very strange very alienated sounding guitar solo's from Omar Rodriquez, this is progressive rock at it's finest. I have no idea what Rodriguez is trying to communicate with his guitar fills on Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus, they get quite a bit better on the Widow, and thankfully Frusciante and a Salsa pianist lay down something catchy on L'Via, where Salsa meets the nightmare music and lyrics of the Mars Volta. As a composer, arranger, and a producer Rodriguez is a brilliant young man and he turns the band's 2nd album into something that you want to visit again and again to discover it's many layers. Cedric Bixler-Zavala's voice has never sounded more emotional and less annoying and his lyrics are simply chilling and mystifying. Frances the Mute excels in many areas, making it an all-around best ever album.
