Because I can't write about them without going on FOREVER . Oh well.
The Mars Volta's Octahedron is split with hits and misses
The Mars Volta Octahedron Mercury Records 22 June 2009 by Stephen Milnes Few artists nowadays release enough material for five albums, even fewer release enough for five albums in six years while working on multiple side-projects - Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has so many fingers in so many pies we think he's got a couple of spare arms hidden away somewhere, would [...]
Realmente no sé si la pantalla de televisión que The Mars Volta presentó en el vídeo de su primer sencillo tenga algo que ver con el concepto que quieren manejar para su nuevo álbum, Octahedron , o es que simplemente Omar no quiere pensarle mucho. Y es que para el vídeo de su más reciente sencillo, "Since We´ve Been Wrong" , el músico ha recurrido nuevamente a este aparato, para exhibir imágenes de la banda tocando muy prendida durante las grabaciones de estudio. Ya casi al final la pantalla se abre [...]
The Mars Volta have premiered the music video for ' Since We've Been Wrong '. The track is off the band's fifth studio album, ' Octahedron ', which was released last week (June 23). The song was originally set to be featured on the band's previous album, ' The Bedlam in Goliath ', but was scrapped of the record because the band felt it didn't fit the album. Mars Volta [...]
Since We've Been Wrong Ad aprile il nostro Zago ci aveva informati del nuovo album dei The Mars Volta , eclettica e multietnica band capitanata da Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez e Cedric Bixler Zavala , rispettivamente ex chitarrista ed ex cantante della band At The Drive In . Ed ecco quindi il video di Since We've Been Wrong , primo estratto dell'album Octahedron , uscito il 19 giugno scorso. Il brano è una specie di ballad molto sottile e delicata, [...]
posted by Jeremy The 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 when compared to the others. Personally, I liked Frances the Mute which came out in 2005. Their [...]

The Mars Volta lanzará el próximo 22 de junio un nuevo disco bajo el nombre de Octahedron . El primer sencillo de la producción es el tema "Cotopaxi" , del que acaban de estrenar vídeo. Este fue dirigido por Omar Rodríguez López y, si no me equivoco, grabado en la ciudad de Guadalajara, México durante la locura que fue la influenza. Presenta diversas escenas de la vida diaria combinadas con un omnipresente televisor, algo que realmente ocurre en nuestro país y en muchos otros, sin que nos demos cuenta. Un concepto interesante sin [...]

The Mars Volta , una de las bandas más interesantes y con un sonido completamente diferente de la actualidad, está por lanzar Octahedron el 23 de junio y, como saben, los días en la red no cuentan de la misma forma que lo hacen en el MundoReal. Lo que quiero decir es que Octahedron ya se puede encontrar en la red, descargar y disfrutar en una calidad completamente aceptable. Este es el tracklist : Since We've Been Wrong Teflon [...]

C'est au tour de Mars Volta d'annoncer un nouvel album, Octahedron est attendu pour le 23/06. Plus d'infos sur le site : http://www.intotheoctahedron.c om/ Avec notamment des titres en écoute comme "Cotopaxi" ou "Since We've Been Wrong" .
Two new-ish Mars Volta tracks to share with you. Cotopaxi and Since We've Been Wrong . Since We've Been Wrong appears to be what pops into Omar's head when he decides to write an 'acoustic' album. Sure, it's got an acoustic guitar in it, but it's not exactly the stripped down, minimal sound you expect when someone says 'acoustic album'. For the opening minute or so, behind the arpeggiated guitar riffs and Cedric's (relatively) hushed vocals, a delayed, reverberating electric guitar pulses in the background but only until [...]
The Mars Volta ska släppa nytt album i slutet på juni, kallat Octahedron . Bandet säger själva att det är ett akustiskt album, vilket kanske inte är helt 100 % sant (?), men av låten With twilight as my gudie att döma så är det i alla fall ett lite lugnare Mars Volta vi får höra The Mars Volta - With twilight as my guide
The Mars Volta will release theri fifth album on June 23rd called Octahedron. The band is claiming it as an acoustic album. TIn April the lead single, Cotopaxi, debuted as the "hottest record in the world" for that day on the Zane Lowe BBC Radio One show. This month those fans on their newsletter received details of the album and provided a link streaming four songs - Since We've Been Wrong; Cotopaxi; With Twilight as My Guide; Desperate Graves. The first single to debut here in North America was "Since We've Been Wrong" [...]
Ya habíamos hablado de la nueva placa de The Mars Volta , la cual llevará por nombre Octahedron y que saldrá a la venta el próximo mes de junio bajo el sello Mercury . Ahora llega el primer sencillo de dicho material titulado "Cotopaxi" acompañado de la portada para el nuevo álbum. The Mars Volta - "Cotopaxi"
THE MARS VOLTA RELEASE COTOPAXI Here's the first single from the upcoming Mars Volta LP Octahedron . Sounds like some classic MV, a little less in-your-face that the Bedlam in Goliath but featuring the same energetic instrumentation with a flecks of Deloused in the psychedelic chorus. Definitely worth a listen, grab it below.
