FULLALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More   / lowenduniversity  

➡ This was certainly one of the hardest songs to analyze on a blind listen. I haven't thought about The Mars Volta in a very long time, and remember the few songs I once heard being a lot to take in. "Drunkship of Lanterns" picks right up where my first impressions left off with over 7 minutes of abstract soundscapes and jarring musical curveballs. Flea's musicianship is on full display here, and I really loved hearing him through a different lens as he tied the whole the song together. I discuss how some of his "Fleaisms" still manage to poke through, his approach when playing bass fills, the music theory behind the dissonance throughout the track, and much more. I still don't know what to think of this band.
