celebdeath Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 from insound.com JUNE 23RD RELEASE DATE. Pre-order Octahedron and receive a free Mars Volta guitar tab print. These pieces are 7"x10", printed on 14 pt C2s card stock. Hailed by The New Yorker as "perhaps the most musically adventurous act currently signed to a major label" and by Rolling Stone as 2008's Best Prog-Rock Band, The Mars Volta makes its Warner Bros. debut with Octahedron, the highly acclaimed group's fifth studio album. Following 2008's The Bedlam In Goliath - its third consecutive album to debut Top 10 - which featured "Wax Simulacra," Grammy winner for Best Hard Rock Performance, The Mars Volta's punkperverted neo-psychedelia goes acoustic on Octahedron. Says the band's Cedric Bixler Zavala: "There's electricity throughout it! But...that's what our band does - celebrate mutations." $71.99 - WITH A 10% DISCOUNT - WTF!?!?

chiefwahoo Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Looks like that information is for the CD pre-order only. Here is what it says for the 2xLP: THIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER. WE EXPECT IT TO SHIP ON OR BEFORE THE JULY 28TH RELEASE DATE. VINYL FORMAT. Housed in a gatefold sleeve, comes with additional artwork and a poster not included with the CD version!

brammyg Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I guess they learned with the last release that no one wants to pay more than 50 bucks for an album these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 This album was inspired by an ancient game of Guess Who, that the band found while going through a yard sale in ancient South Africa. No matter what questions you ask, the only tile remaining will always be Andrew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I truly regret never picking up their records when I had the chance. So so expensive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainreck Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 theres no way i would order this from insound. i pre-ordered bedlam in goliath right away when they put it up and they apparently never got the pre order copies and just canceled my order. i would never do another pre-order from them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm waiting for VC to get these in...I'll definitely be ordering to add to my Volta collection. Lovin' on this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

googlemyass Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 there is nothing ridiculous about the art. as others have said, it has traces of dali in it, which is wonderful. as for the music, the album leaked, much better than bedlam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 to those that have listened to the leak, it's not another Amputechture is it? just coz they say its their 'acoustic' album (according to Cedric). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
