These lyric videos are getting old!
haha this isn't a fucking lyric video, idiot. There's no lyrics in this song.
Chad DeBeau I'm pretty sure he was making a joke...
Chad DeBeau Congratulations! You win the Dumbest Guy On The Internet Award for 2/27/14
Chad DeBeau You seriously don't see the lyrics in this video? Like that one swirl totally made a "dddoossssooodundunoooo"
Chad DeBeau r/whoosh
This is one of those songs that makes you a bit frustrated and distraught because you'll never create anything even close to this quality.
Believe me, I try.
unless you're a member of Tool, Protest The Hero, Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Meshuggah, etc
King Crimson, Opeth, Gentle Giant....
Plenty of bands are crazier than this, but I personally don't think I'll ever be able to match this. But i'll certainly try.
Are you talking about songwriting or ability? If it's ability, I can remember when I was younger thinking "there's no way I'm going to be able to play 'Rust in Peace...Polaris'"...and then one day I did. If it makes you feel any better, try to come to terms with the idea that not even Tosin Abasi or John Petrucci are perfect guitarists; Chris Broderick said in an interview that there are tons of things to always be learning on the guitar, and that since there's so many he has to prioritize greatly. He's right.
***** Any place I can check what you've written dude? :) With what you're into Im totally already interested XD
Especially this and Akerfeldt senpai....
Tom Lippincott he's a great jazz guitar player musician look him up, thus this song was inspired by Tom Lippincott.
Really? How do you know?
@nick donzanti lmao gotem
I will not sleep on Lippincott. Thanks.
Tom was my proffessor and teacher for years, absolutely awesome guy!
@@aestheticwolf7769Tosin mentioned this himself in the guitar center "Lippincott" video
There's something about this song. I wouldn't expect it to be my favourite off of The Joy Of Motion, but it is. It's just so good in an inexplicable way!
Really? Wow... I thought this track was really dull and boring.
Adam Robertshaw Least boring track in my opinion. This one has a lot more depth and atmosphere to it.
Adam Robertshaw I guess it's all about perception of music!
I totally agree. Best track of this record :D :D
it grooves pretty hard dawg
I don't know what the fuck a 'lippincott' is or means, but i'm 100% sure this is what one would sound like.
Tom Lippincott
Logan Inman Thank you. This makes sense.
***** Also a jazz guitarist
One thing that always impresses me with animals as leaders isn't just the music per se, but the production behind them. The production itself is a masterpiece with all the little background guitars, tones, alien soundscapes and glitches. There's a masterpiece underneath this masterpiece just layering. It'd be impossible to not be this badass with that amount of awesome production and sense of what needs to be there even if its barely audible. It's fun to listen to just the background of animals as leaders songs too. This song has like underlying invader zim vibes being layered with awesome atmospheres and classical vibe.
I always appreciate bands releasing official lyric videos.
😂
Your one of "those" people...
Careful, you! Or I'll get Pinkie Pie to stalk your dreams. 😬😄
This video looks like they took different colored dish soaps and put it into milk.
you take drops of food coloring, put them in the middle of a saucer of milk, and then let a drop of dish soap hit the middle. Craziness occurs.
Let instrumental be instrumental music.
+Arthur Resendiz AMEN!!!!
Instrumental band releases instrumental music fans complain about the possibility of vocals.. You can't win
To much clean singing for my taste.
1:58 the groove man.
:3
It’s very gross indeed
Can we get a high five for Matt Garska's work on the drums? It just brings it all together...
I completely agree!!!! The man is a genius percussionist!
There like meshuggah where the balance perfectly between beauty and aggression
Yeah, both bands have great lyrics :)
nenissaK sarcasm
Tyler is Hyper
Yeah, really only AAL has great lyrics
nenissaK people must love you man...
Tyler is Hyper They tell me "fuck you" every day :)
AAL played this live and nailed it note for note, maybe even better than the recording! What a band.
Groovy as fuck.
Why is nobody mentioning how awesome the video is?
it's basically soup on a milk
kshayk0 looks dope tho :/
kshayk0 I wouldn't be surprised if the liquid swirly stuff was CGI. A lot of the "emitters" look CGI'd as well as some of the patterns which are literally constructed from those wave things.
jollyjollyO The only thing that's CGI is the very simply done soundwave visualizations, the rest is literally just swirl dyed liquid filmed with either a water proof camera or through a clear container. Not very hard to reproduce but simply visually appealing.
because they're busy reading the comments instead!
i love how most of the music video is made with milk, soap, and food coloring.. its an awesome trippy experiment.
Wether I'm blazing or not, this is a pretty video to look at.

+EDWARD JAZZ-CORE What are those numbers?
+WorldOfDeepThought Time signatures of the first portion of the song
The whole intro up until 1:00 is in 11/4 dude, this is retarded
So glad AAL are going down a more organic and musical route, this is the band I want to hear since the first album. The only worthy ""djent"" act for me.
***** Uh I must confess I didn't know about it, but thanks for the recommendation !
animals as leaders is more of a progressive technical metal band instead of djent, its just the use of 8 string guitars that gets them labeled as "djent"
Chozo Tull Yes! Organic and musical is exactly how I describe this album.. and Matt Garstka! Both the debut and sophomore album were robotic. This is my favourite Animals album by far.
what about Meshuggah?
Mike Post Matt wasnt their drummer for the first album
This was by far my favorite album of 2014. JFAC's upcoming Sun Eater looks like it'll be beast as well, sad thing is, AAL always falls under the radar during the votes for album of the year, which is a fucking shame.
I honestly think this is their best work. The first album was great, but the drum tracks sounded raped once in a while. Weightless was so disappointing for me, I love AAL but it felt like a Tosin Abasi solo album - no melody, just complicated techniques meshed together. This album really swerved away from that. I hope this band goes on to become legendary.
Sid P I agree. This is their best work by far. I was completely blown away by the debut at the time. Weightless was a disappointment for me. But this.. this is fantastic. Matt Garstka is the shit, and both Tosin and Javier have grown so much. Oh, and THAT BASS.. thanks Nolly!
Ah, prog metal is a niche subgenre in an already niche genre (metal). So I don't think it's unreasonable for AAL to largely unrecognized by metal hammer & the like. Much the same way I don't expect chart music media to be recognising metal in general. That's my take on it anyway.
meh weightless was the album i first heard by them. as soon as i heard that thumb slapped into to an infinite regression i was immediately hooked and thought they had one of the coolest sounds i've ever heard. fucking real. so awesome. joy of motion exceeded my expectations by worlds... love these guys
***** Actually there's no Matt Halpern on the first album. It is all programmed drums (which Misha was a part of, so that might explain why you thought it was Halpern) . Sounds very realistic though. Matt Halpern has never played on any AAL albums. In fact Navene's drumming is only heard on weightless.
OMG SUM1
PLS MAKE A LYRIC VIDEO NAU
PLS
+lalakuma9 You should be disappointed. AAL were caught lip syncing at their concert.
+brazwen XDDDDD
+brazwen lmao :D
+lalakuma9 please no.... =)
BA NUUHM BANUNA DU DUMM
Their music enhances the right hemisphere of your brain which is prone towards shapes and visuals.
Behold the kaleidoscope of your mind.
*****
There's no actual evidence of left/right hemisphere of the brain corresponding with any such difference.
RainySpheres
"The right hemisphere is mainly in charge of spatial abilities, face recognition and processing music. It performs some math, but only rough estimations and comparisons. The brain's right side also helps us to comprehend visual imagery and make sense of what we see. It plays a role in language, particularly in interpreting context and a person's tone."

RainySpheres Have you taken any psychology?
+Jacen Solo Seems to be okay with TOOL
Dhieen Tool is good.
Little Cliffs of Dover reference in there at 3:18. That was cool.
+Tyler Swartzenburg can't hear it, when in Cliffs do you hear that?
I hear it! only slightly, though
I noticed that too, was happy to see your comment confirming I’m not crazy
Holy fuck I chose the right video to get baked to.
HuH! This song makes me so warm and calm >.
This probably leaves the guitarist of Intervals sitting there like… "Fuck now I have to learn how to rip this off?" …. Sets down guitar
im trippin balls on acid right now
this is a FUCKING AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO
direct to me to the rest
Im definitely intrigued
I've seen AAL twice. Both times equally amazing.
3:05-3:27 is by far one of the most moving parts of an instrumental I've ever heard. So well done. Tosin is truly the best of our time. He is the Alan Holdsworth of today.
True, today's Holdsworth without sounding or even trying to sound like him.
does tosin even know there is a time signature 4/4? :P
Probably just rolls a D&D d20 and says "Fuck it. We're playing in this time sig" Lol
Of course. Thw wowen web main riff is 9/8 in the first mesures, then it's 7/8 and 4/4. xd
Karthik Babu I'm just curious, we're all musicians here right? Because I don't think anyone else would geek out about time signatures lol
TheSamuraiApocalypse i concur
To be fair, a lot of the music they write is in plain old 4/4 but it doesn't always sound like it is.
Face melted.
Tosin: Hey Misha, give my song a name.
In Animals As Leaders I trust
2:01 - 2:21 twenty seconds of AAL domination
Very nice atmosphere around 1:20 onwards… love that riff, so simple
Where the fuck is the "love" button???
Nolly killing it on bass!! Holy shit, such a good sound!
Sooooo sick! I personally didn't like Weightless as much as their self-titled but I'm digging this! It sounds a lot more fusion influenced than their previous two albums.
the more you learn theory the more you can appreciate weightless. And tosins music in general. Weightless was just pure musical genius. And this album so far is great.
***** I don't particularly think knowing theory has anything to do with it as I know zero theory but love music that is clearly theory-driven, I just think it was my opinion at the time. I have since listened to Weightless again and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Somnarium is probably my favourite track :)
Arran Cook As Tosin said, Theory really helps. If you don't play an Instrument, I understand that you don't know any but if you do, I highly recommend learning musical theory.
***** I've taken six years of theory formally & had jazz instruction (i'm a drummer) for two now (on my way to Berklee hopefully) & I think Weightless was the most disappointing record of my entire life to hear, coming off the heels of the inspiring, groundbreaking self-titled album. It lacked greatly the same melodic feel of the self-titled, had no guitar / drum parts that blew me away (see: CAFO, Song of Solomon, Thoroughly @ Home, etc.), the production was bland compared to the lush, organic atmosphere of the self-titled, & I honestly couldn't tell the difference between most of the songs still after ten or more full listens (whereas in the debut, each song inhabited its own world of sound & was instantly recognizable).
It's really interesting to see someone arrive at such an opposite conclusion I did - especially someone also into the technical / theoretical constructs of music. (Not coming at you aggressively - just surprised by yours - and others - passionate praise of the album).
I think the more theory you know, the more you can appreciate the theory. I don't think the amount of theory you know affects personal music tastes.
How come no one mentions 2:37? That thick bass is just too good!
This was amazing live.
Matt Gartska is a fuckin beast on this song!!!!! The drums make this song good!!!!!!!
i agree but this song is good anyways, tosin abasi and javier reyes are incredible
Ya I totally like the mestis vibe at the beginning
It's a real shame Matt played like shit this past Monday in Tampa. Dude was getting lost constantly, dropping and breaking sticks left and right, then had to restart two songs after the first few measures.
Space Chief
Matt Halpern?
Space Chief Honestly I think that was more a product of all the chaos before they actually started playing (I know it wasn't his rig that was halting things but still...) None of them played their best (which is amazing because they still ripped everybody a new one) but I'm sure the kinks will iron out. 'Twas the first day of the tour after all
This band is one of the best PROG bands I've heard!!
2:40 stole my heart, this is epic song writing
Acid as Leaders
Someone should start a band named like that.
Dude this is so nostalgic cause it looks like that old version of Windows Media Player (or is it still like that?)
This song is the biggest grower out of all on the album for me. Thought it was pretty lackluster when i first heard it, but the more you listen the more layers you notice. The video enhances the song so well too.
Am I in heaven?
Just for a bit ^^
I will never forget my first LSD trip to this.
It was glorious obviously.
A good idea when making this music video is that instead of using just water, milk, coloring and washing up liquid.
They should've added some sparkling water. Im sure that would've made some cool patterns.
Theres just something other-wordly about this song and kascade its just wtf ...thats awesome!
Interesting trivia..this song name is actually the surname of Tom Lippincot. He is a jazz guitar player (uses 8 strings!) and happens to be Tosin's inspiration !
This is one crazy carwash
This is okay to listen to on acid just letting you guys know
Do you kids really think that shit you're getting is acid? It's 25C-NBOMe, bud.
Kieran Commanda 25i-NBOMe, but whatever. Still makes the music way more trippy.
Kieran Commanda woah so edgy
Andrew Coker A completely useless comment.
Kieran Commanda Clearly you haven't heard of Silk Road old timer...
food coloring never looked so metal
watch this video drunk or high....ohh djeeeeah

Kaze_Senshi I thought it was named after the musician Tom Lippincott.
Yep, named after guitarist Tom Lippincott. Tosin talks about it at the start of the Lippincott: Guitar Center session video
I pasted that list because I didn't know why this music had this name, Thank you.
these lyrics speak to me on a spiritual level
This video makes me sick.
Nonono...not the song, i fucking LOVE the song.
The actual video makes me nauseous.
The only album that I have any hopes for in 2014.
Veil of maya
Original
Conquering Dystopia. 'nuff said
I think new Ne Obliviscaris and Fallujah will be epic.
chon..
Such a sick track. Tosin and Javier never fail but Garstka is a genius!!!
I think he provides some much needed groove to their music.
Seems like Misha would be responsible for any drum improvement you notice.
temporaryonesix What do You mean?
I was writing an essay about Descartes when I put this on, and surprisingly it helped my thoughts flow alot better.
Could be interesting to analyze the possible links between cartesianism & Animals as Leaders, might prove pretty interesting
When u stand up too fast
I watched this while I was high once.
Jesus Christ, what an adventure. Highly recommended to do.
gotta agree, its tight. showed it to a friend of mine whos musically inclined but never listens to this type of stuff: blew his fucking mind.
Trying that now. I'll report in a minute
Don't need to be high to get hypnotised by it. Love this track too - probably my favourite on the album, along with Physical Education.
Once? I do it every day. HAHAHAHAHA.
Try it on LSD
0:34 come with me.... and we'll see... a world of puuuuuurrrrrrreee imagination....
video reminds me of those bad windows media player visualizations.
it's not good. i'm sorry fans but it's the truth. this isn't an opinion, this is a fact. if you think otherwise with an opinion then that's ok but you are wrong because it is not the truth. this is not good music.
a consulting firm?
When you've got talented musicians like that, making music as magnificent as this, why bother with singing?
Pre-Ordered Red Vinyl .. =)
you need to make a song with robert fripp
Just when you think Tosin was gonno turn into Misha 2, he pulls a 360 and goes back to his classic roots
So much more good than the first track
very much more good. wow.
Awesome visuals.
This is so freaking epic and groovy, just listen to 2:34, damn! I'm already addicted to this song, can't wait for this album!
my lord.....reading all the stories you wrote down here i must say ...poor bands.....full of crappy fans out there...i rather play celin dion s music , at least her fans just enjoy the emotions not the theory aspects or the comparison to other bands....metal is becoming so anti freedom ''''is so judgemental.
yessss! i always think "if you like it, listen to it. if you dont like it, dont listen to it." and its really as simple as that, haha.
^^^
***** People on youtube are whiners, not only metal fans ^^
Yeah dude, I was on a video the other day of some poppy little boy band and all the fans were nothing but insanely supportive.. as well as some people conceding that they weren't really into it but they could still find it somewhat entertaining.
Cue the metal bands youtube comments and everyone is cracking the shits because it isn't to their liking.. this genre attracts such cynical fuckers
ordnas chira I'm a fan of Animals As Leaders and I also enjoy the theory aspects of their music, so I think your comment is rather immature. I'm not a crappy fan and not everyone here is a bunch of crappy fans. That's an ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy. You're entitled to like Celine Dion's music, but to say you would rather just listen and not think about it is stupid. You should always want to learn and engage yourself in critical thinking, because with those qualities you can become whatever you want and get a great job (which is the beauty of living in America). I understand that a lot of people on the internet are immature, judgmental and illiterate, but that is just the result of poor education system we have here in America and bad parenting. If you don't understand how to explain what you mean that's fine (because your last two sentences are nonsensical), but if you are just saying your opinion and you don't want to explain it then everyone is going to think that you are an asshole. And by your last three words, I can tell you don't want people thinking of you that way.
This sounds like if the end of the world would be something beautiful
I'm getting such a different vibe from this album so far. BUT GOD DAMNIT IT'S SO GOOD. I love this band.
This is what a lyrics video for Animals As Leaders looks like.
@2:37, that's dope.
2:38
That run is totally 100% Misha. Taken right out of Zero, love it.
Already got my tickets for the Sacramento show!! Fuck yes!! Loving the new song too!!
I thoroughly enjoy this song. Those visuals are an absolute bonus as well.❤️
It's a while since I've had the shivers listening to a song 01:44-01:57. Think I'm going to love this album.
this is what it feels like to chew 5 GUM
Actually, you can do the video at home. Ingredients: milk, a palette of food coloring, dishwashing liquid. Howto: 1. put some milk in a shallow container 2. put drops of food coloring into the milk 3. add a drop of dishwasing liquid into a spot of food coloring floating on the milk 4. enjoy the reaction! For awesome visual effects feel free to add drops of dishwashing liquid to various places in the container.
If the album consists of tracks like this, it is going to be a wild audio adventure. Thank you for providing this sneak preview :D
Whimsicott
I think if Steve Vai were to listen to this music, he would set all of his guitars on fire and take up basket weaving.
Max Pomeroy
He already has. Tosin and him know each other.
Christ.
There's something in this video that seems to want to combine quantum physics to spirituality and the natural laws driven by geometric systems. Or is it just a mental journey
Love animals as leaders and like the song, but I have to say it... every fucking song sounds the same. Same scale same type of patterns which are neat and all but I get bored after listening to them for more than 5 songs. Will enjoy the new album but slightly disappointed that they aren't trying anything new
Up until today, I didn't know what "djent" was.
Apparently it's a metalcore take on Meshuggah.
Pretty much. lastrit.es/articles/771/our-djent-problem
Comments like this should have your commenting privilege removed.
You talking to me or him?
SEnigmaProductions you brah. Just because the metalcore scene jumped on the djent style bandwagon doesn't necessarily dictate the djent style as metalcore.
I was judging by sound, not by its fans. Most of it sounds like really technical metalcore/nu-metal.
In fact, now that I listen a little closer, AAL is more progressive metal than they are djent. They have djent influences in their sound, but other than that, they're prog metal. My mistake.
Mmm
This is so good. Definitely buying this album.
3:29 jesus fuck...gonna put something through the wall in a minute.
lippincock
You caught me brother!
I wasn't hiding though
What's more metal than Lippin' hard dyuck
testicular torsion
This music & video is so weird & awesome i don't know what to do no more!
3:55 is the most metal thing ive heard in my life , the emotions it gives off in that small area of time in the song is haunting and impressive
+dudefolife210 not really. It is dark but not metal.
Animals As Leaders Genios de las 8 string !!!!
