The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium

A milestone in modern prog. Accessible in some aspects, yet rather unaccessible in others (the vocals, the obscure lyrics, the noodling tendencies). Virtually essential to any modern prog collection, however, since this album will be known in years to come as a milestone in the 21st century prog revival.

This is one of the most important albums of the new century, and the blueprint for modern prog. Though the vocals can be an acquired taste, they are absolutely perfect for the band's sound and style. Guitarist and mastermind Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is ineed set to become the new Robert Fripp.
