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!

Octahedron Out June 23
Hey fans.
This morning on Pitchfork I found an article on the new Volta record called Octahedron. The new record has only 8 tracks and runs only 49 minutes. I'm very interested to hear/see why they've neglected the last 30 minutes of a CD.
I'm expecting this record to be off the damn hook. Their new drummer Thomas Pridgen is absolutley outstanding in his live performances. The usual lineup is still there, I love you Juan!
The tracklist:

Cryptomnesia: First Impressions
The first song "Tuberculoids" is exactly what you'd expect from Omar. This song is completely off the wall and messed up! The song starts with some electric baby sounds, they last a little while, then the song gracefully drops into riff hell with Zach Hills authentic style rattling the speakers on his own. Omar lays down a sweeping but constant ransack of notes.
The chorus if you want to call it that, switches up the style to more single notes from omar and a heavy on/off beat that makes you want to headbang.
Cedrics style on this track is a little played out. I'm tired of hearing his slow whine overtop of this musical masacre! Take me back to when you'd yell into a fan or climb up some shit - go nuts. The fans know and love you so don't take it personally, but I want more more more! You've got the gift and you need to lead the way like Robert Plant.
Kudos to the rest of the band for providing the rythems. This is only the first song and I haven't listened to the rest too much.
There has been a massive surge to my site, and google even picks it up at the top of the list. I will continue to keep these sites up! Please visit my affiliate sites in the top right, I write and manage all of them. If anyone out there has content they'd like to provide, I'll gladly share my space! Thanks!!

Expecting a Cryptomnesia Leak
Heya folks,
Crypomnesia is in many peoples hands. Not mine. I am actively trying to find the leak or torrent.
If anyone has information I would be happy to share some of my own.
I spoke to my homie down under and he's got the vinyl and he has a digital record player that he can rip with. Now I wait. Tell your friends and share the leak when it comes! Please support my drinking habits. Thank you!
Should have one very soon!

The Bedlam Drops
Well fans, it's that special time of year again. The Mars Volta have officially released their brand new album - and for a true fan, this is better than Christmas, and your Birthday combined.
Some of us managed to get our hands on the leak copy - which was made available roughly 2 weeks before it's scheduled release date. The leak was ripped at 320khz and had everything you needed to dive into its glory. In no way was I disapointed with this album - it's easily top 3 albums of 08' and the year has just begun.
The production value on this album is far more technical than Amputechture. This album was orchestrated by Omar, he hand wrote the music and gave it to each member to master.
Of their four studio albums (aside from the EP), the only album that didnt deliver a 10/10 was indeed Amputechture. It just wasn't as rigid as the fans and even Omar had hoped. The loss of the amazing John Theodore struck fear in the hearts of Volta fans. His tour replacments speed, technicality and creativity, were not as impressive as previous drummers. The live performance was lacking.
I'd like to reference the Toronto show on January 21st at the Phoenix. The bands new drummer Thomas Pridgen brought a hellstorm of bombastic beats that disrupted the natural beat of my heart. I became so wound up, I could feel my heart pumping out of my sternum, delivering so much oxygen to my brain - i almost colapsed from being light headed. In short - this man has filled the missing link in the band, and his beats will spin a web of awesome for albums to come (i hope).
In my next post, I'll share some research about the new drummer, the man, the legend, the young man, Thomas Pridgen.
