this is pretty good. highly experimental for them...every TMV album is, but this one especially. i don't see the de-loused comparisons either; i think if anything, this sounds closest to octahedron. but it's better. also the album generally gets better as it goes along.

Deloused > Frances > Noctourniquet = Goliath > Amputechture = Octahedron for me

Frances The Mute is good but it's too much for me ( for example Cassandra Gemini which has 32 minutes), still I love L'Via L'Viaquez and Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore. The Widow is cool too. Same goes for De-Loused In The Comatorium... I love some of the tracks (Eriatarka, Roulette Dares, Cicatriz ESP) but in comparison with the others as a whole, I find them less enticing.



Recently I have listened a lot to Amputechture and I find it underrated.

Eh. I agree with whoever said this sounds like B sides. Some songs are fantastic, but even the fantastic ones don't seem to flow with the album too well. I'll give it a few more listens before I decide on a solid rating.
