BrettWFeb 10, 2007Oh my god, what the hell is wrong with you people?? TMV is THE most progressive and complex groups to hit the scene ever! Amazingly poetic, musically intricate. What more could you ask for?

brianKJan 2, 2007Good, but not amazing. The most glaring issue with this album is that it is no where near as good as Deloused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute

CrabsodyNov 11, 2006Not so good as previous albums of the band but still one of the best of this very mediocre year. Viscera Eyes is great

TomSOct 1, 2006Excellent Album by The Mars Volta as always, my favourite song by them has to be Cicatriz in the Scab dates album. Anyhoo... yes great album favourites songs being Tetragammaton and Meccamputechture, bass lines are supreme with a mental drummer, what more do you want

danfNov 2, 2006Not as good as Frances, much better than deloused, the volta start out weak with Vicarious Atonement. They then launch into the amazing tetragrammation and dont burn out until the final track... which is just kind of random noises and a guitar solo. Fantastic album for those willing to give it a shot, for those who aren't... i dunno go listen to yellowcard or something you wankers.

JackSep 11, 2006Thanks to all the gods that exists someone who tries something diferent and new.TMV with Amputechture doesnt beat the greatness of De-Loused, but creates another mark in experimental music, another great album

BlakeySep 24, 2006james C Im an aussie and am ashamed that people relate australian music to ACDC, unlike mars volta whom produce the most out there and unique music of this era ACDC produced the same sound their entire career and fair to say cedrics voice is a lot more breath taking than bon scotts wasted breath, Amputechture is easy to critcise on its first few listens but let it grow on you and it only amazes.

LoganKSep 8, 2006Holy Shit! It's TMV's overindulgence that makes them so good. It's called art not entertainment (even if it is entertaining).

This early-Roxy-Music-meets-late Led-Zep-style third studio album finds the band stepping back from total impenetrability with a pithy, eight-song, 76-minute set, guaranteed to restore the faith of those whose confidence in this grand enterprise was waning.
-
UncutIt initially seems as if the moments of inspiration between self-indulgences are becoming scarcer. A bracing middle section resuces Amputechture. [Sep 2006, p.89]
-
It’s epic, mercurial, high-impact progressive rock that moves like a whirlwind.
