AMPUTECHTURE

When I first heard this, I'll admit I wasn't sure of how I liked it. After second listen it started sinking in and, that it hit me that this is an amazing album. I won't give too much away, but TMV has radically reduced its noise. And it's much more 'progressive' than their other releases. Juan, Adrian, and Ikey all have great parts [glad they turned Ikey up]. Adrian's horn sections are done very tastefully. Look out for them. The best performances [imo] on this album are, well, excluding Cedric and Omar, Juan and Adrian. After all, Omar writes all the music.

Omar's playing style has improved greatly.. really tightened up his style. Not that it was bad before.

Cedric's vocals are really great, dunno what else to say, other than he pwned.

My favrite tracks have to be all of them... haha. Atonement is a great song... Real ballady. Ciervo is very haunting. It's a great way to close to the album... nice and slow.

My favorite ones other than those have to be Meccamputechture, Viscera Eyes, and Vermicide. The riff in Viscera Eyes is awesome. It really fools you, 30 seconds in and BAM it throws the song at you headlong. The Spanish lyrics are great too, just the first verse. The best part [imo] is the chorus and the horns in that part. Wow. Also the solo near the end. And Viscera Eyes is on their myspace.

Oh, I forgot Asilos Magdelena. This song is an uber favorite of mine, all I'll say is it's hauntingly beautiful.

All in all, this an amazing album that should be heard by everyone, espcially the people who said lay off on the noise. As this album has literally none. Maybe a minute or two is all. So I urge everyone to buy a copy when it's released. This may be my favorite release yet.
