Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.88

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Three songs here exceed ten minutes and are crammed with quantum-physics-level time signatures, battle-to-the-death jousts between guitar and horns and Bixler-Zavala's hummingbird keening."

Spin - p.104

3 stars out of 5 -- "[Omar Rodriguez-Lopez] scales back, relatively speaking, and rediscovers the crucial difference between prog nirvana and prog indulgence."

Entertainment Weekly - p.77

"AMPUTECHTURE again revels in overkill: fever-pitched vocals, orchestral fanfares, Latin percussion solos, even an acoustic Spanish interlude." -- Grade: B

Uncut - p.89

3 stars out of 5 -- "Another 76-minute suite of apocrypha, endlessly contorting melodies, psychedelic curlicues...and general hysteria..."

Vibe - p.156

"[T]hey deeply, rapturously feel every long-winded, loony lick."

Kerrang (Magazine) - p.66

Ranked #19 in Kerrang's "20 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "[L]eft-field esoterica and constantly mutating space rock jams."
