At The Drive In - Relationship of Command (2000)

I love this album. It's loud. It's chaotic. It's perfect.
This is where the band hit their apex. All the noises and changes fitting into place seamlessly. It should not be a sing-along album but I always find myself singing along.
I only managed to glance them once playing at Reading festival through a crowd spilling out from a too-crowded tent. I was gutted when they split though was lucky enough to catch Cedric and Omar on the first Mars Volta tour in Portsmouth. I thought I was going to be well up for seeing them once they reformed but found the new material underwhelming. Watching live footage of the most recent gigs looked like a tribute gig where everyone had put on 4 stone. It happens to the best of us I suppose.
I'm going to listen to this album right now. I have a train journey tomorrow to London and back where I will listen to it again. And again. I will shout about how 'this station is non-operational' and chant 'dancing on the corpses ashes' then silently head-bang as the guitar riff crunches in.
It's amazing.
