BANANA OF THE DAY: The Mars Volta "Viscera Eyes"


Earlier today Heaven Monkey turned my attention to Pitchfork's review of The Mars Volta's first realsed track from their upcoming album. Although Pitchfork gave only 1,5 stars to it, I still think it's one kick ass track. But then again I would be the person Pitchfork describes as a "friend from high school who shits themselves every time the Mars Volta release something new". For now, I have listened it at least 10 times, and oh well, I must say I looove the way Cedric uses his voice and I almost can stand ALL the long guitar-solos and stuff, that Omar is doing.
Viscera Eyes is a bit more upbeat and unified than most of their work, so it's not so hard to follow (au contraire to "L'via L'viaquez"). There is a certain stable theme through this track.
It's 9 minutes and 23 seconds long so prepare yourself - no easy-listening here. From 7:52 starts my favorite part.
