(Review by Anticonsciousness website) Third album by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez THIS YEAR. The man is a factory. The Apocalypse Inside of an Orange is a solid psychedelic rock album. One more peace on Omar’s solo discography. Now Money Mark used matured sounds and I loved the synths on this release. Terrazaz-González is an essential element on every track. And Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez is playing the drums better than ever. Omar is finally assuming a composer role. Considering all instruments and their possibilities. There are good guitars, but they’re more intelligent. Awesome album.
