Of their albums, I've given the most time to Amputechture, and that's their only album that I can say for sure that I really like. If I gave as much time to their others, I might enjoy them just as much.

This, for the time being, sounds a little like someone was listening to Les Claypool in reverse on some sort of random shuffle. Whether that opinion will change, only time will tell :P
Didn't know there was a TMV thread. Mods can move this if they want.

Amputechture is my favorite TMV album as well, and I think it is their most traditional progressive rock album. Many fans gravitate toward Frances, but it ranks second from the bottom for me behind The Bedlam in Goliath, which didn't really work for me at all.
