Remastered for vinyl

"Being much more than just a "De-Loused Part Two," the album thrills with its lush sound, the depth of detail, breadth of instrumentation and its fevered intensity." — Clouds Hill

The Mars Volta's sophomore full-length is a considerably more complex and ambitious album than its predecessor — four of its five tracks lasted more than 10 minutes in length — Frances The Mute wasn't recorded "live" by an ensemble, but with the individual musicians recording the parts Omar had scripted for them separately.
