5 stars Absolutly incredible. I never thought anything they would make would ever compete with de-loused but this is definatly right up there. Like my previous reviewers i agree that Frusciante gets a bit too much attention on the album but what the hell he deserves it (omar is still better by far).

Now being a drummer myself, i truly appreciate the fantastic drum work on this album, especially on the beggining on tetragrammaton. Jon theodore has most definatly secured himself among the ranks of not only the most talented but also the most innovative and original drummers with this album (even though after de-loused he was already there).

Zavala shows what a great recording voice he has on this album more than any other. he hits some notes that would put Celine Dion to shame...ill just leave it at that.

Now what can you saw about Juan Aldente, the bass solo on baphomets is reminicent of "maxwell murder", possibly even better, and the entire track is absolutly incredible.

Bottom line, these guys are some of the best musicians in the world and the sheer complexity of their music is mind baffling. Top 10 albums ever made, and ill never back down from that.

Amputechture=De-louloused > than most music ever made
