The Mars Volta OCTAHEDRON

So The Mars Volta released a new album entitled "OCTAHEDRON".
I just bought it earlier today thanks to a friend [sam!!] who said I had
to hear it. So i went to the record store, and when i say record store I
mean record store. Serious vinyl collection up in there. Anyways back
to the task at hand.

This album is definitely different from previous ones before.
The guitars are more relaxed there are even acoustics in it.
I could finally hear the bass player after like god knows how many years.
I guess it would be a "you love it" or "you hate it"
but definitely appreciate the direction of this album, the flow and the overall sense
of beauty.
The first song off the album entitled "Since we've been wrong"
was a definite throw off from the ordinary Mars Volta sound.
When I first heard it i had to do a double take a repeat it all over again
because I could almost not believe that was them. The song starts out acoustically
and there's a chorus and breaks into a beautiful melancholy of soft drums
just to go back into the chorus. There is an obvious sadness in singers'Cedric Bixler-Zavala voice. I think everyone should go check it out,
it's been out since mid june so go listen to it please. like it. love it & send it to a friend.


Fav songs:

1. Since We've been wrong
2. with twilight as my guide
