Even though this isn't my favourite album, this is by far their coolest album imo
I remember this album getting some love & hate back in the day, I think it stands the test of time.
This is my fav Contortionist album. This is a rhythm masterclass, the majority of listeners can not even grasp what the hell is going on here. It has a certain quality to it atracting both experimented musicians and people who can just vibe to some 'djent'. But it's fucking disgusting... In the middle section of Holomovement, you can hear both displacements in 5/4, 5/8 and 4/4 (2/2), then falling in the number 1 beat to increse the intensity to the final break. Feedback Loop is actually a bass drum ostinato, you can hear this pattern in almost the entire song if you pay attention. I don't even comprehend Sequential Vision's chuggy riff at 17:50. Dreaming Schematics beginning was made on a 7/16 over a 2x 8/8 + 3/16 ( when the drum enters ); a fucking brainfart if you think about it but you don't need to since it sounds so natural.
And that's from a rhytmic standpoint, don't let me get started on those chord progressions and harmonies like in Anatomy Anomalies which is a total banger, or Cortical which is a song that could've been composed by Allan Holdsworth.
And to round up this album, the motherfuckers put out Solipsis which is in my opinion the most brutal, most syncopated behind the beat song I ever heard: two minutes of total chaos to round up this masterpiece, ofter overlooked by its sheer complexity by the casual listeners.
A shame this wasn't remixed or remastered.
Not to mention, the ostanato in feedback loop has some interesting displacement, which is kind of referenced in the bridge of causality. And causality is another rhythmic mind meld, the beginning of the song which is reprised at the end is an 11/8 riff against a 4/4 backbeat (classic snare on 3). I transcribed the drums to that song, and when that groove comes in it is the strangest transition. The groove starts on the 3rd eighth note in a bar of 11/8. Bizarre, yet it feels so natural.
Intrinsic is truly a masterpiece, and musically it’s such a step up from exoplanet (even though I do love exoplanet). It’s honestly sad so many people overlook this album, largely due to the production it seems…
I'll bet you 500$, the reason people pass on this album is probably because of people like you and your attitude towards it lol
the amount of suspended chords is just amazing, i love musicians who don't resolve them, because they sound so beautiful on their own

Anatomy Anomalies hits different. Legendary album for me. Truly impactful. I'm loving the full album/discography reactions. Thank you so much!
My favourite Contortionist album and one of my favourite albums of all time.
I love the way you really pay attenion to the music. It is very visible for me to see that you have a real understanding for music!
Especially the calm part in the track "geocentric confusion"!
I was watching the whole video hopimg you would close your eyes at this part and you did haha!
Awesome Video man, thanks and may the music God bless you ^^
This was the first album I heard when I stumbled across this band back in the day. Now, they still are one of my favorites, although the past couple releases have gone in a different direction, I still love their music.
My favorite contortionist album. Thanks for posting this reaction
I recommend Takataks one song but you can easily react whole album...Acrophase. Great little journey to Pakistan djent/progressive metal. They need to be heard❤
Love your reactions!
two songs in and its already my fav album
It's the same vocalist on the this album Exoplanet. They got a new vocalist on Language
Oof for the crash. Too much magic fuckery in the album I guess ahaha.
Well, yeah, the next album mark the arrival on the new (and actual) singer, but also a new keyboardist and bassist.
It produced a drastical change of musical direction/color for the band, and it divided The Contortionist fans (and I'm not spoiling why, you'll see for yourself :p).
I actually adore all their albums, it's just a different kind of magic fuckery now.
Cheers!
