Description
The Mars VoltaDe-Loused in the Comatorium
Tripple Vinyl LP
De-Loused in the Comatorium is the debut studio album by progressive rock band The Mars Volta, released on June 24, 2003 on Gold Standard Laboratories and Universal Records. Based on a short storywritten by lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala and sound manipulation artist Jeremy Michael Ward, the album is an hour-long tale of Cerpin Taxt, a man who tries to kill himself by overdosing on a mixture of morphine and rat poison. The attempt lands him in a week-long coma during which he experiences visions of humanity and his own psyche. Upon waking, he is dissatisfied with the real world and jumps to his death. The story of Cerpin Taxt is based on the death of El Paso, Texas artist - and Bixler-Zavala's friend - Julio Venegas.
De-Loused became, both critically and commercially, the band's biggest hit, eventually selling in excess of 500,000 copies despite limited promotion, and was featured on several critics' "Best of the Year" lists[1]. The album was ranked number 55 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitar albums of all time.[2] "Drunkship of Lanterns" was named the 91st best guitar song of all-time by Rolling Stone[3].
The music contained in De-Loused is distinguished by its enigmatic lyrics, jazz rhythms, odd time signatures, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's frenetic guitar riffs, which are often harshly dissonant. The title of this album is taken from the lyrics of the song "Eunuch Provocateur" on the band's previous release, Tremulant. The cover artwork is by Storm Thorgerson.

Sorry i made a mistake in the listing. This Mars Volta LP - De-Loused in the Comatorium, is a double lp and not a triple volume as specified in the listing description above. The lp is the original 1st pressing silver double vinyl. I'm also selling another Mars volta LP which is Frances the muse which is a triple LP. I apologize for the confusion - might have been a late night with too much coffee....
