Lol a song without words is called a piece

RIP ed

But he's 6ft under...

+Magnus Bojaxhiu I know, right?

+Magnus Bojaxhiu they are a backup plan for people who can't make amazing music like this

+Magnus Bojaxhiu they are for people who need be told how to feel.

+Magnus Bojaxhiu There is only one man in the world that could sing along to AAL and that man's name is Mike Patton.

I've never seen a truer comment on RU-vid...amazing.

Best comment

LMAAOOOO

Ha classic. Hey, people ask the same thing when someone gives Tosin a headache.

I hope she meant that in the best possible way, otherwise fire your sister.

Lol

bruh found the best comment

Who said jazz metal doesnt exist¿?¿.

@@fullmetalexorcist1687djazz

@@magog6852 damn let a homie feel the joy of music

To the top you go mate.

exactly hahah i was thinking about music from gundam battle assault 2 back when i heard this for the first time

I remember Tosin saying he did play some Mahvel back when arcades were a thing

funny enough, Street Fighter V and Arcades Edition main theme is a djent song too

Tosin as Toaplan Javier as Irem Matt as Cave

From pussy to monstercock

Fuck can I get some of that

Actually that solo turned me into paper cup

lol

+Pepper3961 he said "loves these guys" he loves them.. ahah

zuku uyanguren ahaa

Pepper3961 - Checking in to see if you bought it yet!

well shit.. start liking metal and prog then

I love when people pretend they are being humble while being elitist

Quite a few of their songs have blown me away with the way they start with a theme and evolve it, or introduce new themes. Lipincott is a fantastic example.

Full and Spacey is technically a contradiction but I know exactly what you mean

@@trash_bender420maybe he meant ambient/“outer-space-y”

ESPECIALLY during the end of Tooth and Claw. Can't imagine that song without it tbh.

check out "Battle Against Time" by Wintersun :)

Shaun Spaeth Typical neo-classical shred, I prefer Ka$kade. Death and the Healing has my favorite Wintersun solo.

YoLpIsBest My personnal one is the one from nephele, altougth the first solo of tooth and claw.

The solo is just ridiculous

you need to listen more solos

most def. this and tooth

ay a Lupe + AAL fan

Ocean Sage Weightless is my jam.

Melodrama is a piece of art aswell

Yeah this song is something special... it's literally cascading notes. A musical fractal

In a way i love that que just holds it but in another way i actually like and a lot when it is in a bend and mostly with vibrato, but whatever, sound awesome in both ways for me... :p

LucasAndAGuitar I thought only intelligent people listened to AAL, I guess I was wrong... by the way, sweetie, I'm a lesbian ;)

LucasAndAGuitar why don't continue your mindless activity of trolling on videos commented by other 12yo idiots like you, for instance COD or something and leave the comment sections of intelligent, complex music like this free of you immaturity? ;)

I completely agree. Holding that note without the bend is probably the single best part of the whole song actually.

transfixed. by both. nailed it. the anticipation of knowing that it's coming is beautiful. the build from 2:57 on is almost too pleasurable. feels like i need to add some discomfort into my life to allow myself to listen to it.

u gonna buy the piss as well?

You’re human garbage for liking this trash.

how many copies

how many puppies

amazing typing for being on your back with your eyes closed

Str8Faced Anything is possible when listening to Animals as Leaders.

Str8Faced I realised the contradiction :) I finished listening to the song, typed that statement and then went straight back to lying down with eyes closed to listen to the rest of the album.

By the time you saw that he typed that, he was already lying down haha. Just saying.

The joy of sitting still

Why does it have to be so emotional anyway? Not enough people can appreciate music for what it is, and only want to connect with it in a way that's familiar with them, ala lyricism. Lots of the best music is instrumental stuff like this that's beyond words, and trying to trap it within the confines of human language would be a travesty.

THAvidinc. Took the words out of my mouth.

Well, isn't it the point of listening to music, to feel emotions ? ^^

If that's all you want to get out of it. Personally I'm almost mechanically unemotional, but I listen to a shit ton of music by bands like AAL and Rush and Coheed because it's fascinating in a way that can't really be explained by any human terms. "Why does a particular melody/rhythm sound so incredibly good?" "What about a major to minor key transition changes the mood of a song so drastically?" etc. These are important questions, but ones that can't really be answered because we just simply can't fully comprehend the mathematics and science behind them and how they interact with our brain. When you listen to complex progressive music like this and you stop trying to feel and think about deep meanings, and instead kind of lose yourself in the music and marvel in the perfection and purity of the technique and the composition, you come out wishing that you could spend the rest of your life hearing nothing but an endless cascade of different melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. The possibilities of musical composition are literally infinite; the spectrum of human emotion, however, only goes so far. Which is why every song with the exact same theme in genres like pop and country get incredibly old so fast.

Yeah, but "sound good" "fascinating", "you come out wishing", "marvel in the perfection", "the mood" etc. all that seems like the lexical field of feelings and emotions to me ^^ even if you can hardly describe them (that's precisely what makes them emotion and not intellectual thinking). I mean you say you're unemotional but I'm sure you're not, if you really were you wouldn't listen to music ^^

Wow 2 weeks ago… trust me they all will grow on you. Kascade was the first for me and used to be the only but now i honestly dont have a favorite

Yep, I listen to this album while playing TF2

I agree

You could also listen to this when you're writing a request letter so that you could be enrolled in your university since you had delinquencies to take care of.

Tim Watson yo everyones different man. i cant listen to music when i go to bed because i just think about notes or whatever im hearing.

Nate Coombs Dude, if you know Jake Bowen from Periphery, I suggest you take a listen to Jake Bowen's Electronic Project. I don't think that there has ever been a time that I had trouble sleeping while listening to it. If you still can't sleep while listening to it, it's also good for relaxation.

me too🤘🏻

yess there are many parts that are so similar :0

Its been..... Another year bah dum tssss

+yung letti I read this comment, was like, "Damn, yeah, it's been a while" and then noticed that this comment was a year old as well. Two years of the Joy of Motion... Seems like no time at all

Can't believe it has already been a year since you placed this comment, time flies huh

Sil Schepers Can't believe its been 11 months

Cant believe its been 1 week already

***** I jerked off at the Fallsview hotel once, I literally jizzed in Niagara Falls, fun fact

Same bro

Exactly

Pirate time

This is what tosin hears in his head

That's a huge problem when you love so many bands !

FlyingGoatNuns, this music is way more than just metal though. Not a knock at all against metal, but this is better than just pure metal.

wait one of the guitarists name is javier ? thats cool i wanna learn how to play the guitar dude :(

***** Yeh, the "worse" one :p

Sven i know a lot of people appreciate tosin more but javier is an amazing player too. check out his solo work if you havent already

You could always try playing a mean triangle man. Aint no metal triangleers out there.

"Triangleers" lmao

I've always been of the opinions that weightless didn't even belong in the same league as the first album. I'm already thinking this outclasses even the first.

yeah weightless was a huge letdown compared to their debut.

JURGMANDR Hm that's really odd to me, they've always been quite equal in my eyes.

Joey Emanuele I agree. Their self-titled album brought out emotions quite well for me, while Weightless was more experimental. The JOY of MOTION seems to be a combination of both.

JURGMANDR Once I got used to Weightless it's just as good. The good thing about AAL is their sound progresses. They don't just make stale sounding shit that sounds just like the last album. Each album has it's own sound. That's the best part.

This is the first time I've listened to them and I love it.

Almost 10 years later and this is still true

+Roeland C.P. Braaksma (SweetWood Drummer) He the 20th century buddy rich bro

Comparing Matt to Buddy is an insult to Matt

does a bear shyte in the woods

yeah. I can tell you don’t by the fact that you said he has the coolest rhythms

If only I could be so grossly talented at drums

Your album yesterday, this today, when will the madness end?!? lol

djentleman, that's deadly.

alpegg75 seems like he's been djent out of shape.

very djently, haha

djog on, son!

***** no. it's djent

By definition.

*Opens Dictionary. Eargasm - (verb) **_See Ka$cade by Animals As Leaders_*

I quit as soon as I heard the first album. After 12 years, I literally quit.

@@mikec1642 Bitch

Nah just more inspiration if anything.

this is the whitest comment on the page

I agree with your feeling but i hate the way you put it into words.

Such Amazing!

Matthew Widmer so guitar, many awesome

so rhythm, much amaze

people are still saying stupid shit like this?

jaydoode15 I read that as "PLAYING stupid shit like this", referring to the song, I was about to track your IP address, and come smack the nonsense outta you. lol

Try out Periphery :)

Scale the summit

I followed that same band path then heard The Contortionist. All very artistic yet heavy sounds. Blown away

I followed that same band path then heard The Contortionist. All very artistic yet heavy. 🤘🏼

technically they don't have a bass. javier just doubles sometimes.

Ethan Finchum lol really?? that's awesome.

DnBComplex yeah! Tosin and Javi play guitar but Javi frequently switches to bass. They don't actually need a designated bass player for the music they write.

Yeah, they use 8 string guitars, which are basically basses for closet bass players. Sounds pretty damn awesome though

Just to be clear, there IS bass on this album. The bass tracks were recorded by Misha and Nolly from Periphery who also co-produced it. They don't have a bass player live tho

Tosin is back*

Serge Mindblowing lol

XD

hahahahahahahahahah.

lol :D

I agree. It's a lovely mix of both albums. What gets me is the drums. In the first album, the bass drum just did not have enough punch for me. In the second, there was a hell of a lot more bass drum, but the cymbals were barely audible. This here is a perfect blend, but not just for the drums, this album is a blend of styles from the Self-Titled and Weightless. /)

Derp McGrahamCracker the drumming in this album is the best in any AAL album by far. very organic not robotic-sounding. matt garstka has feel, groove, and precision. beast. i prefer this style over mere precision-drumming a la Alex Rudinger.

I love both Alex and Matt. Both are highly versatile drummers. Matt can go from crazy technical Djent grooves, to a gospel chop-like rhythm. Alex can go from crazy blast beats to a very mellow style of playing. Both drummers have their perks.

oh god, that would be something.

aaaahhh!!!

new genre, slutcore

Marsh the Darsh ill take it!

Master Pigoo it woud basically just be kesha trying to cram an 8 string guitar up herself while misha mansoor records the sounds

Eh not really, I can think of plenty of really complex pieces that do though. The harmonies in this song are not quite as complex as you may think.The drumming is intricate but the underlying rhythms are pretty simple and have a consistent repeat. It's like a collection of sections from Tool songs but sped-up in that regard.

EvilAlbear To me, Dream Theater are an OK band, very technically proficient, but machine-like and lacking in emotional resonance. Plus, a lot of people hate the singer. I personally think that he has a whiny, hair-metal style that is offputting.

It's mostly the fact that they are so incredibly skilled with their instruments.

dream theater and john petrucci were always overrated anyways

are you kidding me? maybe justin bieber is overrated DT is underrated

i luv it

get a life

***** Then at least get a name!

Try it on shrooms. Next-level shit, mate.

Marry me.

+Crusty GymSock They were using auto tune... I saw them lip syncing at a concert...

Say it aint so!

Crusty GymSock lmao.

Dude, Tosin Abasi is clearly singing here, do you really not hear it?

***** Matt Garstka has a beautiful voice, almost made me cry.

im sure you can get it from the band website on cd, if its on cd the songs wil be better quality than any mp3 anyways

Nope thats my point exactly you can't.

Yeah I'm in the UK so not ordering off of there. Also, I said I want to give the band money, not some merch store.

Sam James There's almost no way of getting money directly to the band. Buying through a merch store is perfectly fine because the band has already seen all the initial funds from their album's sales.

Go to a show and give em a tip
