posted by JeremyThe Mars Volta, "Octahedron" (Warner Bros.)I forgot how much I liked The Mars Volta. So I went back and listened to all their material - five studio albums, two extended players and one live album. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala are Grammy wining artists who won Best Progressive Rock Band at the 2009 Grammy's. Their new album Octahedron is a bit on the softer side wh...

This isn't the Mars Volta's "acoustic" record, but the usual indie-prog craziness is toned down to highlight slower, calmer material.

Journeying out on Saturday was brutal. Unlike the Thursday and Friday, there was barely a cloud in sight and the sun was blazing. So, the first place we headed was the This Tent where folky Elvis Perkins played with his backing band Dearland which was a superb, mellow way to start another extremely long day. He played the popular single "While You Were Sleeping" which was pretty well done. The ...

When looking at The Mars Volta's discography, you can see how necessary an album like Octahedron is. Ever since Frances The Mute, there's been something missing from their progressive-jazz madness and though none of their material was necessarily bad, it didn't stand up against the monolith of their earlier work.

So I walked into the ballroom at approximately 7:30 with hundreds of tight-pants, fro-do'd Cedric and Omar fanboys with my tie-dye, sandals, and flannel feeling awkwardly at home. The venue is familiar like a face getting off a plane after years of separation; this is the place where I saw one of my first concert "experiences" - two years ago, Guns n' Roses, another story - as I said, awkwardl...

The Mars Volta's new concept album The Bedlam in Goliath will hit stores on January 29th. Some songs that make up the album include "Aberinkula," "Metatron," "Ilyena," "Tourniquet Man." A few tracks run more than 10 minutes, like "Goliath," and are doused with the guitar experimentation of previous Volta albums. Red Hot Chili Pepper axeman John Frusciante even adds some of his skills to the alb...
