@@KeyOfGeebz Finished the video, definitely agree that the composition and production behind this band is really something else. Language I+II is probably always going to be their masterpiece for me. As others have already mentioned, they're tremendous live too. I saw them for the first time in 2015 when they opened for Between the Buried and Me and Animals as Leaders. BTBAM is permanently in contention with Opeth for my favorite band of all time, but The Contortionist was truly the best set of the evening. I'd also definitely recommend (if you get some time) to listen through their next album Clairvoyant all the way through. The album wasn't received as well as this one since they turned almost entirely away from the heavier sound (they used to be more like progressive deathcore), but as an "album experience" I think it's their best. Cheers!

The singer on this album is actually a replacement for the original and this is his debut album with them. It's centered around remembrance of his childhood friend who passed away from a drug overdose and trying to convey the beauty and positive nature of the relationship between mother and son (hence mother sun). The followup album, Clairvoyant, is a more melancholic and grief stricken theme about the death due to him realizing that writing Language was not therapeutic enough to help him cope on it's own.

Yesssss, he found The Contortionist! Tracing their whole discography starting with Exoplanet, it's incredible to hear the evolution of their sound. They cover an insanely wide range of musical elements. Edit -- Since you mentioned your love of the pads, you absolutely must check out the intro to the Language album -- The Source. It's a prime example of beautiful sound design. Also, I'd kick myself if I commented without recommending Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (Time I Rehearsals Live at Sonic Pump Studios). Absolutely ingenious songwriting.

The Contortionist is the single band that I've seen the most, made the most effort to see them since they released Language. The bass player was in another amazing Prog instrumental band for a little bit Scale the Summit. Scale the Summit has self-described themselves as 'adventure metal', and I'd love to see your reaction to them. A few personal favorites I'd suggest: The Great Plains, The Levitated, Odyssey, or Willow.

Now, on to my personal favorites...the rediscovered series. Once you get to TesseracT, in a similar fashion, make sure you do not skip Erra, which is several tracks from Polaris rearranged/reperformed/rerecorded. And now that I said Erra, make sure to check out a band called Erra. Anyhow. Back to my favorite series in everything I've listened to from The Contortionist's catalog, which is basically ALL of it. :-) I literally own the AEL207e that they use a pair of in this video, and I'm still trying to get the jazz boxes as well. Michael Lessard is a super fun vocalist to experience, studio or live. The band is amazing and also I give bands a +1 in my cognitive bias when they have brothers/etc (see: GVF) and I was deciding what guitar to buy and a few people had made releases with the Ibanez AEL207e that I loved so I jumped and bought it (they're beasts at campfires lol)... kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5TJnZiHbLhqmZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/famZomyGe8yojLM

Learned of this band through your reaction. It sounds incredible! Thank you, man!! The start of the song made me recall CYNIC and of how much I miss it. Will have to listen to it again and, I guess, you should try it too. Try starting with "King of Those Who Know", it's really something unique.

There is so much good material in The Contortionist's music! Their re-imagined sets off this album are beautiful.

I know anyone is telling you to watch part 2 (find the video link that has both versions combine because they flow into each other) but I recommend listening to the acoustic version of this song.

Hell yes! I was waiting for this reaction. Absolutely loved it! Only thing (you wouldn't know unless people mention it), there's a part 2 to this song. Language II: Conspire. It's a complete contrast to Intuition but has so many elements from it. It blends in perfectly from Intuition to Conspire as well. I highly recommend it! The Contortionist are above us all. A prime example of growth of a band.

Been a huge fan of this band for a long time, and never noticed that L/R pinging in tempo. Just like you say, you really brought more enjoyment out of my favourite song. Great content mate, keep it up!

Been watching your videos for the past few weeks and it gasses me up so much to see you enjoy so much of the music I enjoy. Also the way you break it down is just satisfying to listen to and hear a new spin on 🤘

Yooo I was hoping to see you look into The Contortionist some more, them taking on Mike as their vocalist and heading into a more melodic direction has been such an awesome development for the band
