The Bedlam In Goliath
The Mars Volta
Bizarre events and equipment failures during the sessions influenced the final result. Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, the tracks move into experimental territory with a frantic pace. It feels unhinged throughout the entire duration.
Polyrhythms define the heavy and claustrophobic atmosphere of this project. The band pushes their signature style toward its most intense limits, leaving little room for relief. It is a record that demands attention, reflecting the friction and pressure experienced by the group while they worked in the studio.
