Our Take

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, the virtuoso guitarist and mastermind behind At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, has returned with yet another mind-bending musical odyssey in "Calibration (Is Pushing Luck And Key Too Far)".

From the moment the album kicks off with the frenetic energy of "Red Sun In An Empty Sky", it's clear that Rodriguez-Lopez is not here to play it safe. The blend of psychedelic rock, prog, and experimental electronica creates a soundscape that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

Tracks like "Screaming Witness" and "Guerreiros" showcase Rodriguez-Lopez's unparalleled skills as a musician, with intricate guitar work and dizzying time signatures that will leave your head spinning in the best way possible.

But it's not all about technical prowess - songs like "Private Fortunes" and "We Feel The Silence" bring a much-needed emotional depth to the album, showing a softer, more introspective side to Rodriguez-Lopez's songwriting.

"Calibration" is a testament to Rodriguez-Lopez's fearlessness as an artist, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in music and leaving us eagerly anticipating whatever sonic journey he takes us on next. Strap in, dear reader, because this album is a wild ride from start to finish.
