Amputechture was far more laid back. There was energy but it was directed more at long solos and ambient instrumentation. Look at Vicarious Atonement, that slow, patient build up is completely different to anything on Bedlam. And so are the rest of the songs, Amputechture was also not as gathered or tight as Bedlam was. All the songs were aiming for different things, while Bedlam was going straight in one direction.

Both albums are absolutely great, but very very very different.
