Not very impressed to be honest. Maybe this could grow on me in the future, so never say never I guess. But this is just devoid of any type of memorable songwriting that was present in AAL writing in the past. No hooks etc, just one idea going to the next in a stream of consciousness fashion.

lame take tundra but I get it

it’s more focused on certain techniques but the tempo change where the song opens up a bit was a nice hook. also, ghost note city damn.

"No hooks etc, just one idea going to the next in a stream of consciousness fashion"

Isn't that basically what these do?

TJOM was full of hooks, rest of their work not so much.

i liked that a lot

the video is really cool -- this kind of music must be really hard to dance to but also really fun if you're as good as this crew

It's rare for a music video to complement or enhance a song, but this one definitely does.

feel like it vindicates all the spazzoids headbanging and bodybanging like Jens Kidman to off time djent rhythms

Gotta give them credit though. AAL fans generally know the music well enough to know where the pulse of the song is and headbang/mosh/clap in rhythm.

"feel like it vindicates all the spazzoids headbanging and bodybanging like Jens Kidman to off time djent rhythms"

I felt like in some sense this video was referring to "Bleed" with its costuming.

Maybe they're dancers to a discordant system.

Been a really long time since an AAL release, huh? Track might need some time to grow for me. Video slaps. Think this band peaked with Joy of Motion but would be nice to be proven wrong.

I can't see them topping JoM, but as long as it's another solid AAL record, that'd be enough to make me happy. It's always a blast listening to their stuff, because you can rest assured that the instrumentation is going to be sick as fuck.

Another casualty of the men in dress very open-minded and progressive trend. Let's all applaud the courage, daring and dignity.
And by the way, this videoclip isn't ridiculous. I swear.

At least twelve foot ninja made a joke of it.

Parts of this sound like Exivious, and that’s a good thing.

This track grew on me hard, very good song but personally I would’ve put the 1:15 part in again at the end of the song since to me that feels like the climax of the track and was worth repeating.

I listened to this and wanted to see what sput had to say but I completely forgot what I was gonna do right after listening so that's about as interesting as this song gets
