      Robbie Williams was leaning on a piano asking for his mate's chair back.
      He was completely dumb-struck. It was hilarious. I saw Rocket From The Crypt & Trail of Dead the night after. Absolutely bananas. TOD threw everything at the crowd, literally.

    Those out of tune guitars would have driven me mad if it was my own band but it just goes to show that it’s a lesson to us all not to get too delicate with the recording process. Feel will always outwin perfection. It’s pretty brave of them to have done it this way. 👍🏼

      Only checked it out quickly, but it seemed like a lot of the ‘detune’ is coming from the quite heavy chorus/vibe fx. So counter intuitive isn’t it... but damn does it work!

      that's not even the chaotic part. that's just some arpeggios with open strings and a flanger effect. the real chaotic part, imo, is the variation that follows the octave guitar under the "Unknown origin, Is this the comfort of being afraid" (etc) vocals.

    nobody talks about Jim. He is so underappreciated. He plays such a big part for ATDI. In a way, he helps to ground them. Without Jim it's a little to all over the place. Mars Volta is great. Like Sparta even more. But ATDI is really the best assembly of cast of the 3.

      Hi there, I've been a HUGE fan of your channel, LITERALLY since you started. But I feel compelled to give you a small bit of constructive criticism about your latest videos: ever since you started playing guitar, you seem to often try to work in some time talking about the level of difficulty the song or album your talking about is to play, which, all due respect; I feel detracts from your content. An example: Amputechture. TMV is my favorite rock band of ALL time & I have a special sentimental attachment of sorts to that record. So needless to say I had the biggest music nerd boner going into your video about it, I enjoyed sections of it, but I really felt the 2 or so minutes you spend talking about & attempting to play Vicarious Atonement derailed any momentum the essay had has prevented me from ever wanting to re-watch the vid... & I believe the reason is: for both musicians AND non-musicians alike, You need a Rick Beato level of knowledge & insight into theory &/or years, if not decades of experience in said field to point out something neither type of fan has noticed or thought about before. Something truly new
      I love what you do, you inspire me, PLEASE keep making content and music!

    Hi Brother Rick, this song is a great example of non - computerized Rock and Roll! When you listen to it, it sounds so real, no crystal clear perfection, no Pro Tools or Pitch-Perfect correction, but it sounds great, because it's the sound of a band making music together, and interacting with each other. It's the true essence of what Rock is supposed to be about. Thanks for putting this together, it's a great example of what you(and all of us) have been trying to get people to understand. Perfection isn't the answer. It's about what is coming from your heart and soul! You are really making a difference! Lary

    It's funny that you highlighted the mixing by Andy Wallace. Omar hated the final mix of the album as he thought it didn't sound raw like ATDI, and accused Wallace of over mixing and over polishing the band's sound.
    I've had friends hear this album who said it's just chaos and loud noise. I keep telling them to listen to each track by tuning in on one instrument, then again with another. When you then listen as a whole each track is amazing and you appreciate the craftmanship behind it.

      I also loved this video, despite not loving the song. Rick compares the track at the end to Nirvana in terms of energy, and I also hear Pixies influences in the guitar parts and meter changes (naturally, given Cobain's influences). The reason Nirvana and the Pixies sell crap tons of records to this day is, of course, those catchy damn vocal melodies.

    I remember the first time I heard this song in high school around 2000 and being blown away how different yet brilliant it was. It’s aggressive and attacking but plaintive, and discordant and distorted but melodic all wrapped up in weird proggy time changes and all of it feels like it shouldn’t work and yet it all come together in a brilliant package

    Favorite part of this vid is how you give love to the drums and bass-they make ATDI groove like no other punk band.
    My hope is that you listened to the next track on the album (Sleepwalk Capsules). Paul plays a phenomenal syncopated bass line during the chorus that’s similar in vibe to what he plays during the bridge of this song.

    The thing you keep mentioning about how raw and imperfect this song is, is why I like so many underground punk and indie bands that are basically bedroom recording everything. Just straight passion and love for the music. It's messy and the production sounds like it's from 10 years ago, but it gives it so much charm that nothing on any major label gives. The Brave Little Abacus captures this feeling so well.
