The music these Texans play is undiscribable. It can seem as total chaos when listening on it for the first time...or even the 10th time, but this is music to listen to over and over again and to discover new things the 50th time you listen to it. Somehow they manage to put melody to the chaos and that's what make me able to listen to this album. They, as good progressive bands do, always return to the basic ground in a song. Not just flipping away like some other bands do just to be able to call themselfs a progressive band. There are some songs I like here, some that I can listen to but also some that I just can't stand. 64 minutes of this kind of music is way too much, I get totally messed up in my head.

On Mars Volta's 6th album guitarist John Frusciante from Red Hot Chili Peppers is for the first time not playing on the album. Also Deantoni Parks had replaced Thomas Pridgen on drums.
