Old Money is so far-reaching, it will likely piss off some of his fans while making others nearly swoon with its unwieldy rockist excesses. As for winning new fans to his cause? You bet.

Nary a fragment of the 10 compositions sounds even a bit out of place; new ideas are explored, and not at the expense of the listener; and, perhaps best of all, a mongrel of a talent finally lets his instincts to ROCK REALLY FUCKING HARD take over.

This is an album that will be a cool listen for those, like me, who find the Mars Volta interesting but often frustrating. It will also appeal to fans of instrumental rock, but the lack of vocals will still keep a more general audience away.

This album is truly an odyssey where if a picture paints only a thousand words, these songs can paint an entire film.
