Octane (album)

Octane is the eighth studio album by American progressive rock band Spock's Beard, released on 25 January 2005.

The first seven tracks form a complete piece of work, "A Flash Before My Eyes", that tells the story of a man involved in a car accident who relives his memories in the moments following the crash.

[1] A special edition release contained a second disc which contained five new tracks, outtakes from "A Flash Before My Eyes" and a video documenting the making of the album.

[2] With Octane, the band continued on a similar path as Feel Euphoria with a shift from progressive rock to a more straight-ahead rock sound.

[6][7] As a result, Octane has received generally average reviews since its release.
