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.[3] [4] As a result, Octane has received generally average reviews since its release.
