Octahedron Available?

I just caught wind that people actually have final, pressed copy's of the new Mars Volta album, Octahedron. I can't believe other people have it before me! The reviews I'm reading are praising the new album and something new and fantastic ... I can't wait!

If anyone has additional information or can send me in the right direction for a leak/torrent, I'd be overjoyed! This album is sure to impress fans of the psychadellic genre as the band claims to have created an 'acoustic' album... I assure you based on the 2 singles "Cotopaxi" and "Since We've Been Wrong" - they are a long way off acoustic, haha!

Anyways - I'll be posting more info as it's released - rock on freaks.

Cotopaxi Lyrics

Hey fans,

I found a bunch of different version of the lyrics to the new UK TMV single 'Cotopaxi', this is the most accurate one I could find. Enjoy!

This isn't what my mother told
spirits fill the pillow
Comic strips to pay for them
fools from which to teach

And in that pulse the future sat
story had been spun
Wet your bed to sleep in it
curse your naked house

I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
we'll be lucky if we eat tonight
I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
that's why he'll never find a home

Lightyears came and lightyears passed
tugging on the brink
Each formed from bullets missing
put down in its sleep

Strangled in the background
fitted for a mask
Future won't believe you
here's the reverend fast

I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
we'll be lucky if we eat tonight
I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
that's why he'll never find a home

Don't beat around the pulpit
there is no lost and found
Where is the Devil waiting?
Trying to disguise

I've seen what you used to look like
down here you won't survive

I've got the weight of half of the world
don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake
I won't come home if you can't come home
even if you make away with my name

I've got the weight of half of the world
you'd better keep looking for me
I won't come home if you can't come home
don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake

I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
we'll be lucky if we eat tonight
I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
that's why he'll never find a home

Follow me in
and I'll show you the body

Lay it to rest
don't say you're sorry

Check back soon for the leak/torrent!

Download First Octahedron Single: Cotopaxi

Good news EVERYONE!

The brand new Mars Volta single has been released!! It's called Cotopaxi, and here is a direct download:

Click Here to Download Cotopaxi.

This song is so awesome, I'm in love! The Cryptomnesia disc is a lot less organized than the new Volta. This song is so well orchestrated, I'm thoroughly impressed!

I don't know how they can call this song 'acoustic' ... there's nothing acoustic about it! It's so loud and awesome, I love this band.

Enjoy the song, and I'll keep everyone posted for the Octahedron leak.

Have a nice day!
