Non stop, no break, out of breath, crazy.

Well, for a single (with only one track also) there isn't much to write in a review. The Dillinger Escape Plan is well known for being the most obviously recognizable "mathcore" band: broken down, it's absolute insanity. Crazy riffs played at insane speed backed by insane rhythms with eccentric vocals, melodies, and just about everything else in the music. Farewell, Mona Lisa is no different. The band has no trouble dishing out numerous time signature and tempo changes, intense chord progressions, and just an overall sense of insanity. The track includes a highly avant-garde feel to it, fusing a lot more jazz influence into the music than usual. Of course the crazy up and down the neck "soloing" is present, with plenty of tasteful part changes. Overall, the track is a great track. But, being a single, I really can't give anything more than... 3 stars.
