As I said earlier, this is progressive rock to the extreme, it never rests, and at the end of it all, as great as it all is, you feel like you have been pummeled. This 12 minute piece utilises some extended jams and ambience in the middle section, providing some nice atmosphere and making the final chorus even more impactful, being further elevated by the overdubbing of Cedric's vocals. The vocals are also a bit over the top, and could easily scare some people off. This is an incredible song in every respect, and the absolute perfect way to close the album. But even the inaccessibility isn't the biggest problem here, the hardest thing about it is how unsettling it all is. Even when you do start to get a handle on the music, you can only really listen to it when you are in the mood. Of course you get a lot of excellent performances from the other members of the band, plus a lot of rapid fire drumming.

There is a great variety of songs on this album, ranging from somewhat accessible songs, to complex compositions that feel incredibly difficult to wrap your head around. Item is in your Cart. Record Company Required Metadata: Shopbop Designer Fashion Brands.
The instrumental break is a crazy explosion of drums, guitars and keyboards that follow no real pattern. Ilyena is undoubtedly the grooviest, most purely enjoyable Mars Volta song ever created, with such a perfect beat to complement the melody, making it almost impossible for me to not grin any time I hear it. Despite this further experimentation and the more abrasive nature of the music, there is a considerable amount of unity and cohesion between the tracks, having them all share at least some basic elements of latin music, whether it be the spanish lyrics in Cygnus Other sites in the MAC network: Just because it's shorter doesn't make it any more accessible.

The way that the chorus transforms in the third appearance of it, containing different rhythm and instrumentation is nothing short of amazing, and was the moment that solidified my high opinion of the band.
From the Album Amputechture. This one to me is the weakest on the album, but it gives a short reprieve to the heaviness of the two long tracks that come before and after it.
Tetragrammaton (Album Version)
This song is nothing short of a masterpiece, with a bassline that no matter how many times I listen to it, still blows me away every time, being backed up by some of Cedric's best vocal work on the album. Askepios is the only time tetagrammaton the album in which I feel like there is a true misstep, as I find this song to be genuinely tge, with fade outs that last too long, no direction to it, and nothing to make it all that interesting. Whether this has anything to do with the overall wild sound of the album, I'm not sure, but it definitely sounds much more chaotic and loud than previous albums.
It tetragrammatoon inspired by a Ouija board which was a gift from vocalist Cedric received as a gift from guitarist and songwriter Omar. Televators manages to be another incredible song on the other hand, being more minimalistic in certain areas, mainly having a lack of insanely technical instrumentation.

This is an acquired taste for sure, and a definite grower, for those who hate loud music, don't listen to this, as there will be nothing you will enjoy from it at all, apart from possibly Soothsayer. The song is full of rhythm changes, hard to follow melodies, impossible to understand lyrics, and counterpoint solos going on among the instruments during the many instrumental breaks.
After this often chaotic track comes a more accessible one called 'Vermicide'. L'via L'viaquez brings its latin influence to the forefront, complete with almost entirely spanish vocals and a very danceable melody.
It means unbeliever, or it is also the name of a Nigerian drum.

From the next four tracks, the two highlights are easily Dyslexicon and The Malkin Jewel. However, despite the good things that have just been said, I find the heavier, faster parts of the album to feel quite poor in comparison, the biggest offender of this being Teflon, which while it has a cool chorus and is somewhat fun, it is also incredibly repetitive and never escalates the masr I feel it should.

The next few songs, from Roulette Dares The Haunt Of to Eriatarka, all sound fairly similar, yet each maintain enough identity to properly define themselves.
