"Is this the way out from the endless scene? Or just an entrance to another dream?"
The ridiculous, epic story of a Puerto-Rican teenager who falls into a surreal world beneath New York where he meets the dead, eats the flesh of Lamia, gets castrated by fish people, and, ultimately, discovers the meaning of life. There really is no other album like this one.
