ANIMALS AS LEADERS - Private Visions of the World

[@mrSneakyNinja2]

Tosin for President 2020!!! Make America Jazzy again!

[@kirjian]

Levi Allan Djentle*

[@mrSneakyNinja2]

kirjian these guys are way more jazz then djent nowadays

[@DogsInAPile83]

All kirjian would need to do is spin some Return to Forever. Then he/she would realize how close AAL is to 70s fusion jazz. With an edge of course. And with all due respect......few in the fusion jazz world can touch Billy Cobham on the drum kit.

[@HotQahwe]

👍

[@michaelellis2656]

I love your idea bro I just don't think America is ready for this level of technicality

[@ishandave3542]

Too many songs to handle at once !!!

[@leroytrailer2]

Literally Can't stop switching to another before the end :p

[@blooberization]

nahhhh

[@harrisonfotidrums]

3:09 Well.... looks like they discovered the brown note.

[@alanadrianruizmeraz3086]

Lets the TIGER ROARS in this pickups, that guys pass to other progressive level

[@isaacthecorncob]

I think they used a 9 string on this one. Either that or the custom 8 that had a low C# on it

[@YardsaleAbsurdity]

Firsthand experience?

[@senatormartinking167]

My youngest daughter Opal Serene King was born the day this came out she's only 6 days old now but she like to hang with dad and jam this album. AAL has changed how I perceive life for many years now. This album and all the others are simply incredible. What a journey for your ears.

[@waffle_lord0]

congrats man! I hope to one day share this and other similar music with my future children.

[@clayunderearth1884]

+Senator King Yes! Children need music like this to developed their minds!

[@drumsplayerdirtracer7541]

A journey for the mind and soul. An experience, in the literal sense. You dont listen to this music. You experience it. And each time you hear it, you experience another previously undiscovered nuance that makes you appreciate it that much more. This is what ghandi would listen to if he had long hair.

[@ianbarnes362]

Sitting here playing this with my 4 month old as I type this. She is visibly captivated by what she hears.

[@aalulwan374]

My name is Aal so thank you. I dont know how i changed your life but im glad you think so

[@crussell4691]

That solo at 1:33!! 😀 blissful, soulful, just pure beauty.

[@Eutropios]

It’s Morse code. Can someone decipher it?

[@Cestariarts]

1:01 Best AAL melody EVER!! AWESOME!

[@Metalcorable]

Abner Cestari it's so awesome !! it also immediately reminded me of something aaron from Intervals Would write

[@crussell4691]

Reminds me of Charlie Parker!

[@randomselect645]

The riffs reminds of CHON

[@alanadrianruizmeraz3086]

3:35 that lead guitar continues and the silence in other instruments for a little moment, they are a fucking genius 😎

[@HerpsPlaysMinecraft]

The melody introduced at 0:26 is already pretty and then they made it NASTY at 3:34 !! Amazing musicians thanks guys

[@honk1419]

definitely, I feel like not enough people talk about that though it's one of my favorite choices

[@thebuttersqiud8912]

God I love this song. It very accurately describes the feeling of healthy solitude for me. I love how this doesn't have any lyrics, but you almost know the lyrics in your soul. Love it.

[@wlkr.jnz.1989]

These guys' music needs no lyrics, and Tosin Abasi is a GOD

[@IsaacRodriguez-tn8dy]

The most beautiful song of this Album (for me), I love it.

[@Psicokass]

I've listened to "the madness of many" a lot now, and this piece stands out from the whole set, it really has its own aura. So beautiful yet so freaking powerful

[@CesarSandoval024]

I really like the tittle of the song. Makes you very isolated

[@MarkArandjus]

Out of all the unimaginative generic-ass bands to come out of the whole djent thing, this is one of the few that actually did something cool and fresh with it and not just fail to out-Meshuggah Meshuggah

[@shadehunter]

Out-Meshuggah Meshuggah. 🤣🤣

[@rykerjesiah9409]

i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!

[@Marteeenxurl]

IM SO HAPPY HE USED THE RIFF FROM INSTAGRAM

[@michaelxwynn]

this whole album is Mestis on crack. love it

[@TheBadSpoon]

2:53 Primus mode: ON.

[@drummer265]

Those ghost notes from 3:10-3:14 are so fucking good

[@kevinbrinkley374]

That solo. That tone. It's otherworldly.

[@brutalspacetaco]

Listen to the way Tosin's guitar practically weeps at 1:33. So fucking beautiful

[@nasirsiddiqui7573]

had this album on repeat since it dropped. this is the track i keep coming back to. especially after having gotten into bands like humanity's last breath and vildhjarta and the "thall" scene in general, 3:10 hits harder than EVER.

[@dann_hernand]

Very good album

[@aaronnichols2442]

I like how matt cuts the beat in half at 2:37 and tosin and javier all come in on that rythmic part

[@ostnote1]

Tosin Abasi and Tigran hamasyan are geniuses of the contemporary music. I want to know of more wise of the 21st century with such level of creativity and technique, tell me please!

[@metal882]

The title is so fitting, I picture myself, flying over the world. As the sun is rising, just exploring everything, and in that moment, the world is at peace, even if it is for just a short amount of time :) Can't help but smile Every time I hear this

[@Kruiff32]

This is magical. I'm going on Amazon and buying this baby right now

[@ianbowen6344]

Tosin's soloing has transcended to an even higher plane of musicality on this album. Like to a Guthrie plane...

[@tudorfin]

Ian Bowen exactly what i was thinking while listening to it

[@neuro_driguez]

I thought of Ner Ner first time listening to it, certainly not a bad thing!

[@lusidswankin8647]

No

AAL = progressive. Religion = definitely not.

[@neworbit8747]

this is not true

[@alanadrianruizmeraz3086]

3:35 that silence un the riff while the rythm guitar continues, a real master piece

[@zondurite]

This is next level shit.

[@camu123789]

Alex Gonzalez you're going to see them at the bottom lounge, right?

[@zondurite]

yeah bro

[@XabraxasX91]

I dont get why everyone is mentioning Plini, chon, and Polyphia. All great bands, but this stands so far beyond anything any of them have ever written. Literally leagues ahead.

[@isaacthecorncob]

Agree with you for the most part. Although, I think plini is right up there with aal

[@daiquiri383]

Why do you guys always try to oppose bands ? They don't even evolve in the same writing style. It's just nonsense.

[@zakgrigerek1530]

Couldn’t remember the name of this one riff in this track so I’ve found it after an hour of looking for it😏

[@qcichosz]

I agree, that initial riff just sounded very Chon-ish. Or Chon-ese if you will. I STAND WITH AAL AND THE NEW ALBUM WILL DESTROY WORLDS.

[@idiot_city5444]

Definitely faaar beyond Polyphia lol...

[@timothyball5753]

Tears of ecstatic joy 00:56

I get Japanese vibes from the tonality in this track especially. Brilliant.

[@petterv6604]

This album deserved a full theneedledrop review, I felt humiliated when he mentioned it briefly on yunoreview

This and the new Dark Tranquility are my 2 favorite albums this year!

FoxFire McLaggy that almost makes me want to dance, but with an angry face.

[@davidmb1595]

This song is so different from the rest, sounds more like a CHON's song rather than an AAL's song. I love it, and I like the fact that they try and experiment with new wounds and rhythms.

[@mishabc3767]

awesome!

[@TheBadSpoon]

I don't think I can count how many times I have replayed this song.

[@Tomasscarpatti]

Is this the type of album everyone is gonna miss in ten years?

[@AdrianGRIND]

2:53 Bass or electric guitar? Um no. It's Tosin and Javier

[@xdeathgrip210]

The solo at around 1:30 is fucking phenomenal..the first half of the solo is fucking emotional

[@CesarSandoval024]

Sick

[@MrMntsrck]

That's solo in1:34 fucking blew my mind!!

[@TIZIZIT]

this song rules!

[@matthewjohnson4212]

A lot of people will say Chon but is anyone else getting a Covet vibe? Especially the first little run

[@jacobboyette6173]

matthew johnson chon and covet both took influences from AAL because AAL has been around for longer than both

[@ventor11225]

Jacob Boyette Actually Chon has been around longer. Chons first material came out in 08 and AAL in 09

[@OnlyosirizHouse]

ventor11225 Tosins been on the scene since 05 I think.

[@PSNDaSingh]

AAL has been around since 07, they had material on MySpace and KZbin before 09

I hate Covet ,just hate that asian arrogant frontgirl
