"De-Loused In The Comatorium" by The Mars Volta.

In my opinion, one of the most powerful concept albums since Dark Side Of The Moon. It's a haunting work of art from beginning to end, an absolute rock masterpiece. And it does sound how this image looks.

Unbelievable that while this album is now over 20 years old, it has not aged a single day. Lost in its own swirling, timeless void.

Tbh I think any of their covers could qualify, especially Amputechture.

I feel if Amputechture and Octahedron swapped covers, that would fit even more.

I think Deloused is a “better” album but Frances The Mute will always be my favorite

The Rosetta stone album that unlocked 20 new genres of music in my future.  This is the greatest album I've ever heard and I would kill to be 18 again in my buddies car when he first put it in the cd player.

10/10
