Amputechture is the third full-length studio album by American progressive rock band The Mars Volta, released on September 12, 2006 on Gold Standard Laboratories and Universal Records. The album debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 selling over 59,000 copies in its opening week and an estimated 400,000 copies as of 2009. The album marks the final appearance of drummer Jon Theodore, and is the first studio album to feature guitarist and sound manipulator Paul Hinojos, formerly of At the Drive-In and Sparta.
Themes
Amputechture marked the first time that The Mars Volta created an album without a single unifying narrative.
In an MTV interview posted on July 25, Cedric Bixler-Zavala said inspirations for the album were very diverse, ranging from the recent U.S. immigration marches to the news stories of possessed nuns. He discussed the concept, storyline, and overall mood of the album. He also explained the lyric writing process to "Time Off".
Omar Rodríguez-López stated in an interview with Switch Magazine that the word "Amputechture" (a portmanteau of amputate, technology, and architecture) was coined by the late Jeremy Michael Ward.
The liner notes of The Mars Volta's previous album Frances the Mute feature a credit for "Amputekthure" under the "published by" credits, Cedric Bixler-Zavala's name under the ASCAP corporation. The word also appeared in the storybook accompanying De-Loused in the Comatorium.
Since the release of The Bedlam in Goliath, Bixler-Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez have taken to referring to Amputechture as their 'autistic child' due to fans' reactions to the album.
