OCTAHEDRON

The first thing I did this morning was running to HMV to get my copy of Octahedron. Two hours later, I'm writing this review after two listens. After reading the reviews and critics, I was almost ready to be disapointed when I put the CD in my audio system... and no I wasn't disappointed at all. Altough this album is very different, it is really awesome. The energy of TBiG mixed with the song structure of the fisrt albums... in an « acoustic » prog rock. Yet, Teflon, Copotaxi and Copernicus are my favorites. I must admit that it's not as good as Frances the Mute (wich is my TMV favourite album), but it's just different. And it's what I like about Omar's band, their ability to renew their musical style. So I'll give it a 4 stars and recommand Octahedron to averybody, even the ones who disliked TBiG. (sorry for my poor english, I speak french)
