The Mars Volta - De-loused In The Comatorium

The Mars Volta are generally considered progressive rock, with jazz and Latin influences. They are known for their wild live shows, extensive jams, cryptic lyrics and experimentation in and use of ambient music to help establish mood.

De-Loused in the Comatorium is the first LP and concept album by the progressive rock band The Mars Volta. Based on a short story by lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and sound manipulation artist Jeremy Michael Ward, it is the hour-long tale of Cerpin Taxt, a man who tries to kill himself by overdosing on morphine. 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

De-loused in the comatorium is The Mars Volta's debut album, and in my collection (and many others) one of the most popular Mars Volta albums. Just because it is 'easier' to listen to than their other albums.
The album is a masterpiece of blending in different genres of rock.  It is the best album to start getting into The Mars Volta so you can better understand and enjoy frances the mute and amputechture.
The album definatly has a story, and if you look closely at the cover you can see, in the background, a guy in one of those hospital clothes, thats Cerpin Taxt
