Jordan Rudess on Pianote brought me here 🔥
jordan is like an "alien" subject traped on the observation room, they tested and get shock with the result
I brought my physical senses here for good music
Same here, he makes the song sound easy on keys, but when I saw how Tosin plays it on guitar, 🤯
sAME HAHAHA
same
This is one of those songs that you get stuck in your head, but it's so difficult your brain has trouble getting it stuck in your head lol.
makes no sense.
I'm just gettin mad studying it
I've been trying to find a term for this. Prog rock/metal causes me to experience this all the time.
@@michaelbrumbaugh5389 Listen it slow 0.75 with youtube options. Then follow only the bass line, then only the drums, and so on. By the time you know every detail, and can sing it properly in your head...you abused it, and you don't like it anymore. But if you can play it on your instrument, you can make someone happy. That's music.
@@adofonconi9753 This is how I listened to a lot of BTBAM (P2 specifically), I can recreate a lot of those melodies/musical stacks(?) in my head and it's wonderful.
Meshugga makes me feel like I could headbutt a whale to death. AAL makes think I can befriend the whale because I now understand the universe
Steamy Hot Djent to the Face And then Gojira will make those whales fly
And then Mastodon will hunt the whale down
*between the buried and me playing in the distance*
prog metal is best metal
this is the most accurate statement ever written
And Asking Alexandria makes me...
Want to take a shit
The drummer syncing up with Tosin at 1:30 was just pure skill
Saw it live today....❤
Garstka is always in sync with Tosin
Fucking brutal
The power of progressive music. Every member has to be flawless for the rhythms to work
whats even more baffling about 1:30 is that Matt chimes in with some stellar footwork and actually keeps up with Tosin. This means that no matter how chaotic and disorganized this riff may seem, it was in fact all planned.
I wonder how many takes that took. It is nearly impossible to pull off what they did.
SHA8UTIE There's a video of a drum take on one of their Instagrams
SHA8UTIE
yes its a wonderful riff but its not that difficult to play aha.
Darius Martinez I wasn't really talking about the guitar. It is very difficult to play on the drums and coordinating the timing of both is tough.
Wow! I never realised that until I read this comment! What a band!
My favorite thing about AAL is that they always seem to stay right in that "sweet spot" between rhythmically pleasing and so complex it just sounds like white noise. Plenty of musical ingenuity and technicality, but still has a rythym.
Well rhythm is very important in Djent
I'd throw led Zeppelin and mastodon in the playlist too but yeah
Just gotta pay attention to the cymbals holding the basic rhythm while the kick and snare go off to never-land with the guitars That's usually what I do and it all makes sense pretty quick from section to section.
Very well put
Yeah the Rhythm has to be there or else the song just gets forgettable
I tried to cover the part at 1:30.
I'm writing from the hospital now.
Spoken like a true Djentleman!
You havent finished "Physical Education" i guess.
You fat liar! How can you even type?!?
@@flyestnihilist0297 thats actually not really hard on guitar (not speaking about the solo) you just nee an 8 string or tune down specifically for that part
Writing from the hospital with your toes
Yeah, the groove at 1:30 is undeniably amazing, but the groove at 2:20 is really outstanding, too. So simple, yet so mean.
Simple?
@@sajanapeiris8416 yeah the groove after the slap guitar bit isn't too difficult tbf
1:30 makes me think that Tosin may be an alien because that takes at least 17 fingers to play
17 minimum*
That's a stylistic change, not a grammatical error
It wasn't a correction -.-
Oh I apologize. That seems to be what people always do in the comments.
only losers think a comment's section is an academic entrance exam, correcting spelling mistakes and shit. chances are those are the people you saw
If I ever go to space, Animals as Leaders will be my soundtrack the whole time
You ain't going to space, and soon neither will anyone else, for a looong time.
+Uncle Furball don't be a party pooper. Space travel is very possible for anyone if you work hard enough.
Braeden Rodgers also widek, modern day Babylon, and GRU - cosmogenis
Space ain’t real fool
@@Aconn1997 keep dreaming...
i bet victor wooten headbangs to this stuff
+Bruce Johnson best comment on youtube period
+Bruce Johnson I bet Victor Wooten is Tosin's real dad.
Best comment ever Loolllll
Some say that Victor Wooten has no fingers at all, but 10 thumbs.
Victor Wooten gave this song 10 thumbs up.
Love how this song is called 'The Woven Web'. Makes me think of Tosin and Javier's hands as spiders beautifully crafting and weaving the web, which are their guitar strings.
I was going to say "Why is everybody talking about 1:30, the rest of this song is pretty fucking great too"...and then I heard 1:30
DID I JUST GET LAID
Probably, yeah.
That was your g-spot you felt.
The bass playing in this song is insane. I'm truly blown away by this album.
Nolly always blows minds
Nolly is Periphery, or?
***** His main band is periphery. but he does stuff like this for other bands.
sup negus nolly engineering and mixing the full album
as well as played bass on the album
gosh the groove at 1:37 is so cool especially with the dotted 1/8ths
N u m b e r s those dotted 8ths are particularly hard to nail
THAT RIFF at 1:30 !! I cant help but gurn when listening to it!
Great rhythm and groove
wtf is gurn
Calvin Cox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurn now you know
Fernde09 That tinkerbell is pretty bangable
Lul, like your comments on all the new songs. Its shows me what to look for.
That moment when you realize this isn't a bass and Tosin was playing the 8 string parts at 1:30
Yes, he just is that good.
For some reason this song always pops up in my head when I have some event that could trigger my depression and I listen to it and immediately feel better.
I remember Tosin playing this riff in a guitar demo and no one could figure out what song he was playing and thought he was improving.
link? I want to see it played
Steve Erdosi When I find it again I'll link you, I watch so many guitar demos that it's hard to remember where things are.
ShadowMassacr13 was it the one where he was demo-ing that japanese guitar with the purpleheart multi scale fanned fret finger board?
andrew sutliff I'm trying to find the video that you're referencing to see but I kind of remember what you're talking about
andrew sutliff YES! That's it!
I just feel like the whole love in the universe is melted into this song.
One of the best songs on the record. Especially love the thumping part.
I once went to a clinic in Maryland where Tosin explained his tap theory. About halfway through he lost even the most experienced guitarists in the audience, his brain is beyond a perceptible dimension. He was getting quadruple thumps at the flick of his thumb.
*****
This might sound stupid but the technique really is not that hard once you get the mechanics down. Especially when you're just going thumb-thumb-index (doing triplets) - when you know how to do it, speed comes relatively quick. Just think of it as a single motion.
Maul Pasvidal This sounds a lot like what most flamenco/spanish guitarists do. And yes it is pretty easy to pull off, but mastering the techinque to it's fullest, pulling it off PERFECTLY is the difficult part. There's a LOT of synch when it comes down to those speeds. For me it usually just feels like Im tangling my fingers together :D
Maul Pasvidal COVER!
Misha Mansoor Do it yourself
If AAL did a special project with pianist Hiromi Uehara and bassist Tony Grey, man, I'd renounce walking forever. I'd just sit for the rest of my life, listening to it until I rot.
Hiromi is a goddamn genius....
Hiromi and Animals as Leaders in the same album! That would unreal!
Or Tigran Hamaysan
2:50-end is such a jam from one of the best bands in the world. Instruments feel like they're bouncing off eachother.
Everybody's talking about 1:30, how about give 2:17 some love?
It's also the stank face part tho
Just smacks you in the face--it's beautiful.
@@chazriley7075 Simple isn't necessarly bad. That part hits HARD tho.
@@lakejizzio7777 yeah you right. My b
@@chazriley7075 if you listen closely, most of the AAL stuff is in 4/4, including most (if not all) of this song.
Wow. I just came across that band, I've heard their name many times since I got into djent/math metal a year ago (thanks to Jared Dines & Periphery) and the thing here is, until now I've been almost listening only to Periphery considering I'm really in love with that band.
Also on the times I would try to listen to other djent bends, most of the times it ended up not being my cup of tea so I never did further researches.
That said yesterday I randomly clicked on an AAL suggested song which was this one.
Man what can I say ...
This is beyond music and art. This song is full of emotion. While I do love that fucking dope slap riff, the melodic score is actually chilling me to the bones. It has that so special video-gamey vibe, I know many will relate considering the comments below (personally their melodies remind me a lot of good old SNES games like the DKC series.)
Also I wanna emphasize on that point, I came to the point where I assume that the djent genre itself is somehow inspired of video games. I've had that feeling with other bands before, and I definitely think I'm not the only one in that case.
Conclusion is: these guys are true geniuses. I am THAT respectful towards how stunning and unique their music seems to be, from the very first listening.
I'm just so happy that I finally found a band worth spamming the shit out of my replay button, for a year or more !
Mate, I was exactly the same when I first heard them. Not even exaggerating I listened to their 3 albums and single for about 5 months straight on shuffle excluding all other artists. I've memorised all the guitar melodies, time signatures and rhythms these guys have created. Absolutely insane talent combined with stunning song writing especially from Tosin and Matt (my all time favourite drummer). These guys are absolute geniuses and I hope they continue to create such idyllic music in the future
Perfect name for this song
Might as well change the song name to "1:30"
I listen to this many times and I'm still getting goosebumps on thumping part
This is the best elevator music I've ever heard.
"No maam I'll be going back down and up again this shit slaps"
This song is like rolling up a tbone steak and sopping up some over medium eggs with a side of toast. So gat daymn tasty.
my name... is not.... kyai
im hungry now... i guess ill listen to some more AAL
Lol how many vegans did you just trigger
1:29 This is why you listen to bands such as this.
1:33
1:32
1:30 is all tosin guys. Misha said so on twitter.
Daaaaaamn. That's so gnarly dude. Not on his 8 string though, a bass right?
Ray Peka 10 string guitar. tosin recorded with a ten string on this album :)
GetFuckingAngry Something like a Chapman Stick? Or an actual 10 string guitar?
actual 10 string
Misha said that Tosin recorded it on his 8-string guys.
Every song makes me feel as if I'm adrift in space and there is a possibility of running into a huge problem.......what problem? I don't know but its not good....but then again I'm listening to AAL, so I guess everything will be alright!
Ok
Samuel Marconett What is your problen men
Samuel Marconett leave him expres his feelings :v
They seem to represent the radiation caused by neutron stars.
Meshuggah represents neutron star, AAL seems to represent the colors surrounding it
Man this is just amazing.. Tosin's a wizard !!
It's really amazing
I love that time signature in the beginning! 9/8 9/8 7/8 4/4! Confusing, yet amazing.
This is extremely important to me........
thats really sad molochz
how!!
How does it feel to be a pleb?
same
Lol! Enjoy your existence.
1:30 is everything "djent" should be, ladies and gentlemen. I was realllly close to shedding a tear
*djentleman*
I don't see why the bass riff is djent at all. It's extremely cool though
Deadlockx
It's not a bass riff tho? As far as I'm aware AAL don't have a bassist at all. It's just Tosin and Javier
cazza710 Nolly did the bass on this album.
SAME BRO! :,) just... so ...FREAKING AWESOME!!!
My brother has introduced me to this song.
I now have a favorite metal band.
My taste in music is definitely influenced by him, haha!
Played a metronome along with the track at 118 bpm and they didnt stray for a second. Impeccable internal timing 👏👏
Well yeah they have a click track going while they record
Wow almost like they recorded to a click like all music
everyone always talks about 1:30 and 2:20, but honestly 0:16-1:30 is my favorite part of this song
This is my favorite Animals as Leaders song ever.
It's just groovy, and it's just so easy to listen to. I don't know why other songs didn't appeal to me as much as this one, but this whole album is a masterpiece.
If I'm not mistaken, Nolly mixed and engineered this album. What a fantastic job he has done. Ever since hearing his work in Clear, I've been just absolutely in awe of his mixing and engineering skills.
I didn't like this song (or any AAL song) the first time I heard it. But somehow I got back to it again and again, and after a few times I started really enjoying their music. Also THAT RIFF is on another level.
I love how positive the metal community is on these videos. like its all love, its not a hugbox section of youtube, people just love seeing talent and beauty. Thanks for seeing it too guys, love you all
Everything about this is incredible! Whether it's the beautiful melodic parts or the kickass slapping from Tosin on his 8 string or even when the drums kick in at 2:17 this track is just killer!
Almost 10 years holy fuc 💀
1:29 is fucking with my head in the best way
I like a few songs off the first album, but man, these guys have really come a long way on JOM. The production's better, the arranging's better, the technicality is more tasteful.... so awesome. I'm not really into metal much anymore, because I got sick of guitar-dominated shred competitions, but these guys are beyond metal IMO. They're up alongside guys like Virgil Donati, Evan Brewer, Victor Wooten, Jojo Mayer - talent that can't be categorised as anything other than 'superlative' :)
I agree on every single level with this comment.
Alex Khouri I agree, I don't see them as a progressive metal band but more just progressive music in general cause they have vibes of metal, jazz, blues, electronic, ambience, and more.
Have you heard the jazz super group t.r.a.m.? It's their guitarists check it out!
I have! I think we all know TRAM exists.
Hey, there's some people who haven't been blessed out there. I'm still waiting for more songs :(
There's a point where it's no longer just music, this album is art.
But Music is art! XD
HackIon Santos Teles Teles
Music: The organization of sound and silence; Art.
@@ozaihgyatso2271 I made this song only using silence, give it a listen, it is pretty long tho th-cam.com/video/AjWfY7SnMBI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=CandRfun
Garstka's kicks at 1:35 sound like a chuggin Harley fuckin a thunderstorm!!
*wipes tear away from eye* that was fucking beautiful.
All band members are amazing and talented...
I just enjoy how each member gets to shine thoroughly through this mind bending music. I just love all the tastes and influences you can hear. This is god level music artistry.
I like the almost mechanical sound of 1:30 and similar parts in their music. I also really like the mechanical sounding riff in tooth and claw
Arguably the darkest song on the album.
I read that as "Arguably the DANKEST song on the album.", and then I took a second look and got a little sad. Killer song, though =3
either this or crescent
Logan Inman DUDE Para Mexer all the way as my fav! Did you hear those chords and melodies!?!?!
Listening to this in a public environment is very dangerous for my self-integrity. At 1:30, I completely sieze up, leading people to worry for me. At 1:38, I'm uncontrollably spazzing to the pulse of the riff. This has caused countless ambulences to be called for my carelessness of listening to something so groovy and so heavy at the same time, without first placing myself in a confined location, where there is nobody to be worried about me.
Some of the strangest yet wonderfully bizarre melodies I've ever heard have come from Animals as Leaders - quite unconventional and love it. Tosin and Javier's fret-tapped parts are amazing, Matt's drumming is stellar.
woah this song gives a video game vibe and some kind of nostalgia to me idk why very good song
I love the mello direction they took with this album. Stoners all over the country will be tripping out to this one! ;)
The gritars on this albrum and the drouble brass is great! For your metal!
I see what you did there.. xD
It has that nostalgic feeling to me awesome band, love all of their music!..
There are songs that you listen to over and over again that you get sick of after a while. This is not one of those songs.
Can't get enough of that groove 0:14 !
This track is monstrous! Can't get enough of this album right now.
This song was fucking nuts live. Both Matt and Tosin were crazy good all night. At any given moment you could look around and see like four people shaking their heads and shrugging with awe and confusion.
I wonder what would happen if AAL and Vildhjarta (without the vocals) got stoned one afternoon and jammed together. That would be cripplingly delicious.
these arrangements are too much for me to handle :O
so good!!!
I have listened to this song all day and I still can't get over it.
This thumb picking technique is so satisfying to hear. I didn't care much about this song but saw Tosin showing this thumb thing on an interview and was jaw dropped by the unique sound. Listening to this song later on I realized it was used here and it was like listening from a different angle. Now I just read the comment about the drum pedal for this same part and apparently lost my jaw.
Such an amazing song, amazing band they are!
1:30 killed my dog
haha shit
LoL
Best. Comment. Ever. XD
john wick is after ya
RIP good doggy!
That slap...
That slap...
the correct way to slap pussy
Спасибо, Вам Огромное! Спасибо, моей Маме! Это шедевр! Я раз 30 прослушал.
I just heard this for the first time today. Really nice and something i can go back to from time to time.
All I can say is wow to this musical genius
Loving that jazz infused bassline at 1:30
That’s a guitar
That's advanced 8 string guitar thumping my friend
I know a big part of their USP is being a band for musicians, but I honestly think AAL are one of the few instrumental bands that anyone could appreciate. The emotions that their music invokes, and the sheer story telling of the riffs is so mad to me. I'd be beyond proud to ever make anything like this
everything about this album is just so DAMN good and ground-breaking. i keep trying to follow Garstka's snare notes, but these time signatures are something of the trickiest I've witnessed.. his downstroke eludes me on like every song! AAL
This song makes me feel like i can sword fight a tornado... And WIN. Only to realize that because of my actions it'll never rain again, and our crops will never grow. As the land crumbles and turns to barren desert, i sacrifice myself in order to conjure up a powerful tornado. My mortal form turns to sand and gets swept up into the eye. My new form as the newly made tornado, churns up soil, destroys long forgotten houses to re-purpose the wood as food for the ground, blows the biting damaging sand away, and provides water for the crops to drink... Except... in the distance... a young man sees the tornado and stands ready with a sword in hand.
And in those final moments. I weep. Knowing my fate and the fate of my land.
I got that with Death - Cosmic Sea :)
Jordan brought me here
The way the drums match every single bass stroke perfectly is so amazing to me, that thump bass line with the drum beat is one of the best riffs in a song I have ever heard in my life. I wish I could come drum with you guys! Sorry I got in your way at the show in salt lake haha that was a bad ass ninja jump over the barricade though
The intro tappy part with bass notes for added effect is so pretty
Look 1:30 is what we come for. But 2:50 is what I always remember most.
Funky as fuck.
This whole album is amazing!!
I've shared this with every single one of my friends who visits me... seriously the sickest breakdown in the history of metal
Fucking Matt Is A Monster Nobody Could Play His Beat
Thank you KMAC2021
Dude. This song is so sick. It brought me back to when I was first learning guitar. Absolutely love it
Favorite song from these guys. Everyone went crazy to this song in LA last week when they played.
Watched these guys at Soundwave Sydney yesterday on the recommendation of my brother (who is a massive fan); and holy shit these guys can play guitar. Definitely not regretting the choice to watch these guys play - AAL; you've just gained a new fan.
these guys can play real music.
Complete Circle, this album is going to bring about the real progressive aspect of metal. May the young ones coming up take note.
OMG at 1:28 !!!! This is my favorite from all their albums I think. I dig it. So forutnate to see Tosin live twice!!! Generation Axe and Animals tour
This track is out of this world, I love it
Jordan brought me here hehe
oh man i almost didn't listen to this today
The masterpiece. On that border leading us from doubting, to the recognition. It makes us assure that music is not only the piece of business bit bears feelings touching something in our souls.
one of the most beautiful songs ever
Imagine Lars Ulrich trying to play this drum part xD
he'd probably hit the snare 500 times give everyone anxiety and then fall asleep
@@AzazelFox lol truuuue.
Lars had no idea what he was doing. The pieced together half of their albums.
Imagine AAL being able to compose something legendary, and not just improvise
imagine Lars creating one of the greatest bands of all time...
the groove is too intense! ...i need to lie down
My mind is blown every single time I listen to this song
Had a crappy day and listening to this song while reading the comments section made me feel heaps better hahahahahahaha. Unexpected but exactly what was needed. Thanks funny internet strangers
2:16 I wait for these elements in AAL's songs.
