Once you become more comfortable with polyrhythms and odd time signatures, it becomes second nature to groove out to them. Just gotta react to more bands like this!
Everyone else reacts to 'Slave' live....a lot of Leprous takes a few listens to learn the songs but the payoff is worth it when you learn and expect the transitions. Leprous described themselves as 'Avante Garde' music, but it's standard prog to everyone else.
I'd maybe consider Coal to have some Avante Garde moments (particularly on Contaminate Me), but I'd usually classify Leprous as either Prog or Art rock, or in the case of Castaway Angels and Pitfalls, Prog-Pop-Rock?
This music isn't for the casual listener. U really need to be in to it. Its really for progressive musicians and people who really love progressive music. Odd time. Weird beats.
I think its often unfair to judge an odd metered tune off of traditional grooves most Americans may be accustomed to like 4/4 or 3/4. There are plenty of cultures (like India's music) where they've figured out how to dance to really odd metered music. I often think of it as long and short pulses. So in the case of this song which is in 11/4 I'd segment it into 3+3+3+2, or Long-Long-Long-Short. I mean yeah, you have to think about it, but if you internalize that pulse you'll find that the whole song pretty much "grooves" that way and you can immerse yourself in it. Prog is often all about experimenting with uncommon musical techniques in an effort to break new ground, so the more often you see bands using that exact rhythm pulse (long-long-long-short) the more you'll see people being able to dance to that kind of music. I think a band that does this best is "King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard" because they're often playing songs that are just increasing in Odd meters and they're clearly segmented in a way that's easy to follow, like 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, 13/8 etc. If you're interested in checking that out, I really like the Altered Beast/Altered Beast movement of songs because each new iteration moves up the time signature scale and becomes increasingly complex :)
Leprous is soooo great and Einar is my favorite singer of all time.🤘🏻😍 Please react to Leprous: Aquired Taste (Live and Rockefeller Music Hall) and Helloween: Ride The Sky (Lyric video).🤘🏻
Love Leprous and this song, but didn’t love this reaction. It’s prog. You’re not going to feel a beat. Prog bands often throw you off on purpose. It keeps you paying attention. It’s unusual in a different way than Jinjer. (Also, no TH-cam Premium?)

Should've went with the drum playthrough instead. But at least someone is listening to Leprous.
He would for sure dig "The Price"
Forced Entry

The drumcam of Baard playing his songs are amazing. Best drummer in the world right now
Im sorry but Matt Garstka is two levels higher, Baard second
@@bornindissonance in my opinion i enjoy baard far more.. the fact that the music to go with it is perfect helps though haha!
@@murder13love I can see what you mean, AAL can be a little much for the untrained ear
Its always funny when ppl argue who is best u can measure that. Enjoy music. Matt, Baard or Steve Jordan, whatever.
@@albert3365 Leprous are an insanely talented band and each member brings that to every song. Nothing but respect for them!

Leprous: 11/4 in 11 mins
First time on this channel. Was here for Leprous. And fuck this was hilarious !
Sway kinda music sums it up perfectly
Yes.... you are right.... thanks for watching 👀 peace ✌
This times 100, lol. "Sway music" is the perfect description
Or I guess, like, "bobbing music." Bobbing along to every quarter note sorta thing

thank you was looking for this comment. love the time signature they chose for this song took a bit to figure out
That intro was hella fun
Hi the drummer also has a video about him playing this song. Very interesting
Leprous is soooo great and Einar is my favorite singer of all time.🤘🏻😍 Please react to Leprous: Aquired Taste (Live and Rockefeller Music Hall) and Helloween: Ride The Sky (Lyric video).🤘🏻
One of the songs that actually feels like a 11 minute intro!
11/4
Getting some real gmcfosho vibes from the intro clip
prog metal at its finest. check out tesseract, or animals as leaders. polyrhythm legends.

YT Premium would help this channel so much, or at least adblock for these recordings.
Jen G....I love you girl...you are in coment section of every Leprous reaction video. 😊
@@bojan7548 What can I say? I love Leprous. 😊
