    EDIT: Here’s my full rhythmic analysis,
    ua-cam.com/video/xCMqWUb4eN4/v-deo.html
    the intro rhythm is in 9/8, or 9/4, depending on how you want to look at it. Matt starts by hitting every 3 16th notes in the cymbals (giving it a triplet feel). Then at 1:05 he switches to hitting every quarter note, which makes it feel like it slows down (though the underlying rhythm stays the same).
    I think I'll do a video breaking down all the rhythms, because there's some really creative stuff in here!

      Where are you counting 9 in the intro?? I count 12

    • @TheProgSchool
      @TheProgSchool 2 роки тому +2

      @@4evermetal92 if you are feeling it in groups of 3, you end up with 12 groups of 3.
      Essentially you have 36 16th notes total, sometimes Matt treats that as 12 groups of 3, and sometimes as 9 groups of 4. That's where I'd get the 9/4 from. If that makes any sense haha

    • @TheVashnessItself99
      @TheVashnessItself99 2 роки тому

      I was looking at the slowed down bit as 3 against 2 then giving us the relative 2. But I havent counted what that 3 is relative to the actual quarter note pulse. Because what he hits in the second part of the intro isn't the quarter note

    This song/video was dope. So glad they dropped something new
    On the subject of why the song is so short, I believe this could be a transition song maybe, or even just to release a song.. Marketing strategy. I bet the album will have 7+ minute songs.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this also produced by Misha Mansoor? I know I saw a photo of him that said something like "Producing a new Animals As Leaders album."

    • @LouisR56
      @LouisR56 2 роки тому +2

      He's not only producing, but also participating to the writing: Misha programmed all the drums on AAL self-titled album and co-wrote at least half of the songs, and also co-wrote a few songs on The Joy of Motion. He didn't participate to Weightless and The Madness of Many though, but he's back on this album.

  • @ashesog4204
    @ashesog4204 2 роки тому +2

    I do agree it did feel short and I think I like this new song more than their older stuff cus it feels like their all writing together rather than Tosin writing all of it tosin brings the djent/djazz influence/ Javier with the classical influence/and Matt with his insane drumming mathematics felt like they all did their thing for this song and they all flowed together rather than in their older stuff it kinda felt like Matt and Javier were kinda just backing tosin so I like how they’ve evolved as a group and it feels more like a band in this song rather than just one person

    Some of their stuff is ehh to me because it feels like it’s complex just for the sake of it, without any real melody or reason. I love them as guitarist but not my favorite all the time. But when they hit they hit, and this song is dope! It just has a good grove to it, definitely adding to my playlist.

    For me personally I just feel like I’ve heard all this before from Animals As Leaders. Like they always kill it instrumentally,but they didn’t do anything I haven’t heard from them before or from Djent in general. But I’m sure they’ll have a few songs that have fresher ideas though,like they did on the last album with Arithmophobia,Apeirophobia,The Brain Dance,etc.
