"Drunkship of Lanterns", is the fifth track on The Mars Volta's first album De-Loused in the Comatorium Drunkship of Lanterns proves that Cedric is a highly intelligent writer, not compromising to the listener as he wants to make them think and get that much more out of the song, you can hear his metaphoric structure of his writing, like Beefheart's or Eno's. A very percussive tune, it follows suit of the upbeat and groovy nature of the band. Jon Theodore really shines in here, playing very busy as well as the rest of the band. Omar's Frippy guitar breaks are very dissonant and excellent, while Flea's bass playing is ridiculously well-placed and perfect for every situation in the song. Drunkship of Lanterns swirls in and out of many sounds and touches the most ground on the whole album.
