The Mars Volta - "Octahedron", Solo ciò che sappiamo per certo (topic riassuntivo)

"It's more mellow. It's a little more of what we consider our 'acoustic' side"

"We know how people can be so linear in their way of thinking, so when they hear [the new album], they're going to say, 'This is not an acoustic album! There's electricity throughout it!' But it's our version"

"That's what our band does -- celebrate mutations. It's our version of what we consider an acoustic album."
