DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM

This album is a succesful combination of many different styles, which, in my opinion, include basic prog, some tasty psychedelia and a bit of punk, too. From the first notes of the intro, "Son et lumiere", to the album-ending "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt", the listener is on a breath taking journey. "Inertiatic ESP" , "This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed" and "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)" are the best tracks, but to be honest, it's very hard to make a difference between them. Every song is just pure perfection. Singer Cedric Bixler-Bavala puts his heart in it, singing with such emotion it's amazing. Omar Rodrigues Lopez's guitar work is inspirational, and Red Hot Chili Peppers-stars Flea and John Frusciante also pop by to suply some more magic with their skillfull playing. Being the story of a close friend of the band, who committed suicide, the album is also very emotional, at times being enormously touching. R.I.P. Cerpin Taxt / Julio Venegas. I have to give this 5 stars, as it is a perfect album in the most profound meaning of the word 'perfect'.
