| How Octahedron should have been compiled
Mellow songs that would have fit better on Octahedron | 1 | The Mars Volta Since We've Been Wrong | 2 | Teflon | 3 | Ilyena | 4 | Halo of Nembutals | 5 | With Twilight as My Guide | 6 | Soothsayer | 7 | Desperate Graves | 8 | Copernicus | 9 | Luciforms | |
Techneq
06.06.09 | i did get sort of a ilyena drum beat feeling in the beginning of the song but i think it definately fits TBIG overall | Chewie
06.06.09 | soothsayer is actually pretty fucking great | AnotherBrick
06.06.09 | needs televators! | transatlanticfoe
06.07.09 | halo of nembutals is bad, and copernicus is really boring, otherwise album is decent
and soothsayer is awful | oathfbass
06.08.09 | I enjoyed Halo, I have to be in the mood for Copernicus and I disagree, Soothsayer is composed beautifully.
Cotopaxi however does not belong on Octahedron. | Yazz_Flute
06.08.09 | Cotopaxi worked great on Octahedron because it provided a short burst of energy amidst the other 45 minutes of more mellowed-out material, at least thats what I thought. Album fucking rules. | willfellmarsy
06.08.09 | Soothsayer, if you took at the ambience/bullshit out (only tmv song i would edit, at least ambience-wise) would be a perfect fit...maybe the ambience wud even work on this album idk...i agree with bodom about cotopaxi, it's the perfect burst...
i do like this list...switch 6 with my awesome edited version (which doesn't exist) and put agadez in between 8 and 9...
Though, an even better idea is to put frances the mute (song) at the end of octahedron...the ambience is a perfect transition from this album to whatever they do next (which i believe will be more balanced or a techno album) and the song would end it all lovely-like... |
