The new album bores the crap out of me. I'm all for bands trying new things but there is just nothing to it.

Replace the asterisks with g.a.y. and you'll have some funnies.

Also I would have never thought of starting the concert with Tourniquet Man, that'd be super cool.

Yeah, I think it's a nice little song, definitely a perfect way to build up into their more aggressive songs.

And it says that the video is unavailable. Tinyurl?

Search youtube for "Hitler finds out that octahedron is an acoustic pop album".

Haha that was pretty good. I don't hate Bedlam nearly as much as that guy though.

What's all the hate for Bedlam for? I like it better than Octahedron...

Even though Octahedron is pretty good.

I like that they keep changing almost every album without every straying too far from what makes me love them.

I saw MArs Volta live about 5 years ago.

Worst live performance ive ever seen man, and im not just trying to kick up dust.

The singer was wigging out with a search light, and the band was playing what seemed like the equivalent of Free Jazz only the rock version.

However, I enjoy their album music. Awful live though.

Well they were just jamming impromptu, only the dudes were all on different levels of acid and lsd im assuming so their was absolutely no concievable musical harmony going on, each musician was doing their own thing and it sounded terrible.

A perfect circle rocked that show however. I had to sit through the awful MArs Volta set first

This is so true. I love the Mars Volta but seeing them live I lost a lot of respect for them. Not a very good live band at all. But I still love their albums.

Totally jealous you got to see APC live.
