[1norwood1]

@AphoticAgony Who says Amputechture is their worst? As with anything it's a matter of taste, personally I think Frances is their worst. A friend of mine is obsessed with Bedlam, which I think it's one of their weaker albums so it's entirely subjective. albums: 1.Amputechture 2.Deloused 3.Scabdates (40+ minute version of Cicatriz ftw!!!) 4.Octahedron 5.Bedlam 6.Frances songs: 1.Cicatriz ESP 2.Tetragrammaton 3.Televators 4.Meccamputechture 5. Luciforms

[lerbdude]

Really? I like de-loused the best. I think...

[marsyvolty1]

that's eveyone's fav... makes me sad... my fav is always the next album to come out... i progress :)

[ravenousESP]

you should also mention that there are references to unending cycles i.e. ouroboros, "cycle recycled" "when the chants have cycled"

[mattsjpl]

Good point. I never thought of that. I like that reference too. It goes with the story that they buried the board so nobody else can find it and continue the cycle. And, of course, this reference goes much deeper, like all their themes. I'll add that into the description.

[ModulationCracks]

what is the name of the song starting at 1:30

[mattsjpl]

Its called "Metatron." The part I played was a breakdown they did in the middle of the song.
