CHON - Checkpoint

[@jazz4asahel]

Walked into a gear shop and heard this music and a lick caught me. I asked what was playing. Clerk said Chon. What? I spelled it back. Right. Okay. So here I am.

[@gagearmijo4150]

[@AddUsernameHere-pl3yd]

Glad to have you with us, dude

[@maikisurf8653]

Best CHON guitar solo ever

It truly does. lol

[@PearlDrummerFTW]

1:44 is a mood.

[@jazz4asahel]

Then 1:56 like a bridge. Many bridges. Brilliant stuff.

[@circuitfire3320]

I can't imagine life without Chon at this point. Love every song coming out!

[@WillCtheMechDrummer]

I'm in the truck with Checkpoint playing and my 12 year old son says... "Dad, just wait for 2:22 - that is life!" I thought, dam I have a cool kid!!

[@giuartista2911]

Awwwww 😍🥰

[@WillCtheMechDrummer]

@@giuartista2911 ikr! LOL 😂 thanks for bringing me back to this track again today!!!

[@kartikxramesh]

@@WillCtheMechDrummer how's the kid doing now? :D

[@katharsis3283]

damn your kid is awesome

[@BottleRocket11]

The crowd in Portland blew up during the bit at 2:20-2:33 and I mean, could you blame us? This song is absolutely mind-blowingly good. Much like the album entirely!

[@dmtspeck]

that's my favorite part. happy to scroll down and see the time stamp. feels like two universes peacefully colliding.

[@brycewalburn3926]

Just read this album review. The reviewer said that riff is his one qualm with the entire album. He says it's too "abrasive". What?! Definitely one of the coolest moments on the album. www.soundfiction.net/2017/06/19/album-review-chon-homey

[@chandlerbrown3041]

lol it kinda reminds me of the ring tone all the members of dethklok have, but happy. Critics are literally the most worthless people. They provide biased, subjective opinions of things they couldn't create themselves.

[@TheSolOfaBadGuy]

Ahh the sweet sound of CHON.

[@vamvdotnet]

The entire album is just perfect!

[@terribleliars123]

last time I was this early chon had a bass player

[@safemoonjoshuasg5836]

Richard O'Brien lol I know I don't feel him

[@jpegjpg5764]

Richard O'Brien idk, it sounds good to me when I wear headphones

[@terribleliars123]

Jpeg jpg they have bass on this album but the joke is that they kicked out their old bass player

[@jpegjpg5764]

Richard O'Brien RIP Drew. But I still think Esiah has some cool bass lines.

[@danielsandoval5289]

lol dude you realize Drew didn't even write most of the bass lines last album... Erick is a good bassist. I'm sure this album Mario's brother (current live bass player) may have wrote some parts or maybe not.

[@rotzank669]

I have never been so excited for an album before. Thanks for existing, guys.

[@caioandrade2899]

drums on this track definitely are the one with the most personality among whole chon's discography

[@jgmb4308]

the drums in this song,,,,, suena tremendo !!!!!!!!

[@tyler7959]

who needs a vacation when you can just put on some chon 😎😌

[@frankhuston669]

i listened to chon while i was on vacation and it was double awesome doe...

[@relaxwithme__]

true!

[@DandelionVolta]

The first time I listened to Chon I was on vacation on the beach, was pretty awesome

[@pio1923]

We badly need VacayChon

[@TheDangerbreed]

why not a vacation, and listening to chon

[@Anthonybrother]

I love CHON's music so much that i show it to everyone i know

[@jenniferinteriano8116]

This whole album will be my summer time jam!

[@johnmatthewcrisostomo7549]

Summer so chill

[@diamonddarrell100]

This solo has full Govan vibes, Love it

[@mathewmcconaughey6557]

All the loop videos for these songs off this album are fucking awesome!

[@djrifting]

like animals as leaders but just the soft beautiful parts of their songs

[@riplink]

Animals as leaders' time signature changes aren't insane but are much more unpredictable than chon!

[@juliovasquez4484]

Idonthinkso, AAL use a loooot more tech than CHON but yes, CHON is freakin awesome C:

[@yesitsnickongod2133]

Paul Phariss I hate animal as leaders They eat anime cocks

[@hazbaska1]

Nicholas Perez OMG, that was hilarious! I still like Animals tho 😂😂

[@zacsam777]

That means something totally different if you're a Sithu Aye fan...

[@NebulosisOfficial]

CHON is a tripper's best friend.

Mad facts, I'm on shrooms rn

[@sethroberts1362]

K-holes, here we come

[@butterguitar3978]

This song reaches a certain checkpoint

[@Eightane]

The music nerd in me loves this to no end. The plant nerd in me wonders if the one in the foreground is a palm or a cycad.

[@dotwav4424]

The type of music you can listen to when you want to visit the beach and plug your earphones in to chill

[@jamesmiller6127]

1:16 is sooo good.

[@AsylumDCLXVI]

sound track to summer of 2017 fuck everything else

[@treflippunk]

Awesome tune and album, def will be rocking this all summer

[@joefish3986]

[@trashbaglarry943]

1:00 I think this is the best dual guitar part you've ever written

[@someoneyouknew2363]

oh yes i loved this live when they were at the cobra lounge!!

[@jakewalter1378]

SomeOne YouKnew Nobody gives a shit about the "Cobra Lounge" Pretty sure that doesn't even exist lol.

Ofure Onodenalore prove it. that's what I thought bitch.

Jake Walter what?

[@someoneyouknew2363]

[@jakewalter1378]

Ofure Onodenalore If you don't have the intelligence to answer a simple question like the one I just asked you then you are nothing more to me than a waste of time.

[@coolboy5571]

At 2:34, did they troll vow of volition's chon parody song 😂😂😂 sounds so much better in checkpoint haha

Another very pretty composition from CHON. Drums are mixed a little weird but I like this track a lot.

[@stuartlittle4232]

eyy that's pretty good

[@HigherVisionMotivation]

chooooon~

[@iantsangmusic]

I got some Eric Johnson vibes from certain parts of this song. Maybe it's the tone, or the chords. Either way, I enjoyed every minute of this album. Love how they managed to implement some changes while retaining their signature CHON sound at the same time.

[@rationalbanana577]

After 3 years of being on the internet and it only has 61 dislikes, nown that's good

[@aaronnichols2442]

[@flahoo2807]

Man I keep sayin it. Chon would make the quintessential sonic soundtrack

[@flahoo2807]

@@kankuro4ever960 my ideal concept is the songs getting more complicated and instense the better you perform in the levels. Certain performance thresholds means a solo. Music that adapts to your playing is underused in my eyes, and it would be amazing to see it unfold.

Holy fucking shit Nathan...
