The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (Review by Mike)

I like this album a lot ... but I must admit that I normally cannot stand listening to it in one setting, as there is simply a bit too much going on, and it's a bit like "complexity for the sake of complexity". But it is all very well done, they tried very hard to make this a good album, and they succeeded. So if you're into musical roller-coaster rides and don't mind experimental and unusual music with alternative roots, then this is for you.
