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.

Bedlam was pretty spazz to me, and the only song that would come close to it on Oct is Cotopaxi, and even that is a stretch. It's by no means a bad album, just not exactly what I was excpecting. I would put De-Loused as better than it personally.

I second that. One of the reasons I love De-Loused so much.

I couldnt place it at first but the vocals (at times) are reminiscent of that of Radiohead at times.

Sorry but I just tell people what I think, word for word.

By the way gunnels, how the f*ck did you do that? & leave Roland Orzabal out of this!!

I'm really warming up to Octahedron and In/Casino/Out.

Yeah, I know, but I still feel that maybe adventurous wasn't the best word for it. I'd say Frances is probably more adventurous now that I think about it.
