For punk, metal or hard rock bands, the unplugged album is the one that shows whether they`ve been succeeding simply on energy and volume, or because of real talent. (Anyone who remained a skeptic of Kurt Cobain`s songwriting skills must have been converted by Nirvana`s MTV UNPLUGGED masterpiece.) And OCTAHEDRON, a quieter and more subdued Mars Volta album, proves that same fact for a band that`s perpetually lived on a knife`s edge of tension. Recorded in less than a month, OCTAHEDRON is by no means an unplugged album--it`s not acoustic, it`s not confined to ballads, and includes consecutive hard rockers in "Cotopaxi" and "Desperate Graves"--but it charts a different direction for the group, and proves they don`t need to shuttle between dynamic extremes in order to succeed on an artistic level.
