[@Ezio9791]

1:15 I just love how they introduce the next theme by simply playing it much weaker. Their use of volume is very dynamic.

[@Diesel_Budgie]

Quite a few of their songs have blown me away with the way they start with a theme and evolve it, or introduce new themes. Lipincott is a fantastic example.

[@sexy350Zowner]

That solo is absolutely insane... but the way he holds that note at 3:52 without bending it or even vibrating it is just gorgeous!!

[@YoLpIsBest]

3:20 that solo is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard.

[@ShaunSpaeth]

check out "Battle Against Time" by Wintersun :)

[@sexy350Zowner]

3:52 the way he holds that note without bending it or anything makes it sound so much better! I don't know why when he plays live, he bends it. Just hold it like that and do nothing, that's what keep the tension!

[@jaibandroide]

In a way i love that que just holds it but in another way i actually like and a lot when it is in a bend and mostly with vibrato, but whatever, sound awesome in both ways for me... :p

[@michaelward9201]

I completely agree. Holding that note without the bend is probably the single best part of the whole song actually.

[@phnxen3rg666]

3:44 they hit you with an insane solo and monstrous riff at the same time and you don't know which one to be more transfixed by.

[@darrelllindsay8656]

transfixed. by both. nailed it. the anticipation of knowing that it's coming is beautiful. the build from 2:57 on is almost too pleasurable. feels like i need to add some discomfort into my life to allow myself to listen to it.

[@Pepper-cd9yr]

I'm not into any metal and very little prog but animals as leaders from an artistic and atmospheric point of view and from a songwriting point of view have consistently blown my mind nearly every time I come across one of their songs on Pandora. I'm proud to love these guys and I'm thinking about buying this album. And holy shit, the artwork.

some People say that animals as leaders' music is just technical and has no Emotion at all, but for me it carries a lot of emotion. I dont know why People always try to argue about such things. Maybe they are actually kind of impressed and get the need to defend their music taste. But There is no need at all.

[@THAvidinc]

Why does it have to be so emotional anyway? Not enough people can appreciate music for what it is, and only want to connect with it in a way that's familiar with them, ala lyricism. Lots of the best music is instrumental stuff like this that's beyond words, and trying to trap it within the confines of human language would be a travesty.

[@eleanora1987]

THAvidinc. Took the words out of my mouth.

[@Aejfke]

Well, isn't it the point of listening to music, to feel emotions ? ^^

[@THAvidinc]

If that's all you want to get out of it. Personally I'm almost mechanically unemotional, but I listen to a shit ton of music by bands like AAL and Rush and Coheed because it's fascinating in a way that can't really be explained by any human terms. "Why does a particular melody/rhythm sound so incredibly good?" "What about a major to minor key transition changes the mood of a song so drastically?" etc. These are important questions, but ones that can't really be answered because we just simply can't fully comprehend the mathematics and science behind them and how they interact with our brain. When you listen to complex progressive music like this and you stop trying to feel and think about deep meanings, and instead kind of lose yourself in the music and marvel in the perfection and purity of the technique and the composition, you come out wishing that you could spend the rest of your life hearing nothing but an endless cascade of different melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. The possibilities of musical composition are literally infinite; the spectrum of human emotion, however, only goes so far. Which is why every song with the exact same theme in genres like pop and country get incredibly old so fast.

[@Aejfke]

Yeah, but "sound good" "fascinating", "you come out wishing", "marvel in the perfection", "the mood" etc. all that seems like the lexical field of feelings and emotions to me ^^ even if you can hardly describe them (that's precisely what makes them emotion and not intellectual thinking). I mean you say you're unemotional but I'm sure you're not, if you really were you wouldn't listen to music ^^

[@musicbruise]

I love the little synth notes in the background behind everything, it really, really makes this song sound so full and spacey. Fantastic production.

[@trash_bender420]

Full and Spacey is technically a contradiction but I know exactly what you mean

Just saw these guys on the weekend live for the second time. I play guitar and was classically trained a a violinist. Watching them I just stand there mouth open thinking 'How in the name of holy fuck do they keep this music together and play like that!?' They are all playing different polyrhythms, everything is doing something different weaving in and out and Tosin is just incredible, he missed like 2 notes in a 1.5 hour set. The level of virtuosity is over 9000.

I think the most amazing thing about this song is that the opening riff is in 4/4. I was trying so damn hard to figure out what the fuck was going on that the last thing I thought to do was count to four.

[@wheateater199]

***** I counted 5 5 5 5 5 5 | 5 5 5 5 14 (a bar of 15/8 followed by a bar of 17/8) or something like that

[@thomashinds3308]

15+17=32 so that's 32/8 so that's 4 bars of 4, you can't get tripped up by the syncopation

[@JoeyEmanuele]

JURGMANDR Hm that's really odd to me, they've always been quite equal in my eyes.

[@spaceboy7413]

Joey Emanuele I agree. Their self-titled album brought out emotions quite well for me, while Weightless was more experimental. The JOY of MOTION seems to be a combination of both.

[@TheRealisticNihilist]

JURGMANDR Once I got used to Weightless it's just as good. The good thing about AAL is their sound progresses. They don't just make stale sounding shit that sounds just like the last album. Each album has it's own sound. That's the best part.

[@dexterforbes2368]

The solo at 3:45 is so awesome!!

[@STEREODVST]

All the tracks ive heard so far have been phenomenal. Its a perfect blend of the past two albums. Self-Titled 2009: Epic melodies, but wasn't organic enough for me...sounded kinda dry and angular at times. Weightless 2011: Sounded fuller with the live drums and wayyy better production, but the songs, save New Eden and David for me, were too "dugga-da-digga-da" for me. Didn't really take me on a journey. But this. This shit right here is da bee's knees. Fuck that. ITS THE WHOLE LEG.

[@spaceboy7413]

I agree. It's a lovely mix of both albums. What gets me is the drums. In the first album, the bass drum just did not have enough punch for me. In the second, there was a hell of a lot more bass drum, but the cymbals were barely audible. This here is a perfect blend, but not just for the drums, this album is a blend of styles from the Self-Titled and Weightless. /)

[@riomarcelang]

Derp McGrahamCracker the drumming in this album is the best in any AAL album by far. very organic not robotic-sounding. matt garstka has feel, groove, and precision. beast. i prefer this style over mere precision-drumming a la Alex Rudinger.

[@spaceboy7413]

I love both Alex and Matt. Both are highly versatile drummers. Matt can go from crazy technical Djent grooves, to a gospel chop-like rhythm. Alex can go from crazy blast beats to a very mellow style of playing. Both drummers have their perks.

Animals As Leaders consistently make Dream Theater sound like a three-chord punk band by comparison.

[@Awakia1]

Eh not really, I can think of plenty of really complex pieces that do though. The harmonies in this song are not quite as complex as you may think.The drumming is intricate but the underlying rhythms are pretty simple and have a consistent repeat. It's like a collection of sections from Tool songs but sped-up in that regard.

[@martini1179]

EvilAlbear To me, Dream Theater are an OK band, very technically proficient, but machine-like and lacking in emotional resonance. Plus, a lot of people hate the singer. I personally think that he has a whiny, hair-metal style that is offputting.

[@stinkybojangles4128]

This may sound like a really dumb question but do you pronounce the title as "cascade" or "cashcade"

[@villain0788]

first one

[@insaneunicorn5266]

Yes.

[@WhizMitchell]

I really like this track...chock full of great melodies and harmonies!

[@pariasapenumbra5117]

not very often I hear a song so beautiful it literally takes my breath away. amazing

[@tl_nik0n353]

Man, the vocals are really something right?

[@dantalked]

+Crusty GymSock They were using auto tune... I saw them lip syncing at a concert...

[@tl_nik0n353]

Say it aint so!

[@dantalked]

Crusty GymSock lmao.

[@tl_nik0n353]

Dude, Tosin Abasi is clearly singing here, do you really not hear it?

[@dantalked]

***** Matt Garstka has a beautiful voice, almost made me cry.

[@Tool_jira_shugg]

MASSIVE chills @ 3:43 EVERY. TIME.

[@Flat4Power4Life]

Same thing happens to me, that part gets me every time also. It's crazy how songs can do that to people.

[@DnBComplex]

god... this is so good, this type of music make me realize how good this band is, the guitar, the bass, the drums every thing works together and make a perfect symphoni, this is ART.

[@ef4861]

technically they don't have a bass. javier just doubles sometimes.

[@DnBComplex]

Ethan Finchum lol really?? that's awesome.

[@ef4861]

DnBComplex yeah! Tosin and Javi play guitar but Javi frequently switches to bass. They don't actually need a designated bass player for the music they write.

[@michaelsmith4691]

Yeah, they use 8 string guitars, which are basically basses for closet bass players. Sounds pretty damn awesome though

[@zamkowicz]

Just to be clear, there IS bass on this album. The bass tracks were recorded by Misha and Nolly from Periphery who also co-produced it. They don't have a bass player live tho

[@jessekinder3442]

If can't wrap your mind around how awesome and talented these guys are , don't blame the band...blame yourself
