Octopus is the fourth album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1972 through Vertigo in Europe and though Columbia in North America. It was the band's last album in which all the Shulman brothers were involved, as Phil left the band after the release. It was also the first album with new drummer John Weathers, who remained with the band until their dissolution in 1980. Octopus remains a highly regarded example of the progressive rock genre.
