Cotopaxi - The Mars Volta

Band: The Mars Volta
Album: Octahedron
Released:  June 23, 2009
Home Town: El Paso, Tx
Why is it on here?:  Heavily influenced by their Latin American culture, the Mars Volta are one of the most explosive progressive rock bands out there. By the title of the album you would think that this is the El Paso band's 8th album - but in reality it is their 5th. While the sound of this album is a little different this time, there is no mistaking the vocal range of Cedric Bixler-Zavala who could really teach that Adam Lambert (American Idol) a thing or two about how not to try so hard when hitting the high notes.
