Crappy Guitarist Reacts To Animals As Leaders 'Monomyth' 

Funny, because Polyphia is almost always in 4/4

@@Mandibularmenace he meant how polyphia deal with arpeggios and tapping

This song is mostly in 6/4 I believe

6/4 felt in triplets

Absolutely. A great song to start I'd say is "Straws Pulled At Random" off the remaster of Nothing (2006).

Ah not similar at all.

​@christopherbossio6084 both are djent lol......allot of AAL is pulled from inspiration from Meshuggah so....lol

I don't really know Tool, would you have songs to recommend which would have anything similar to this ?

@@JGBDYT honestly i haven't heard any other band even remotely similar to the Animals as Leaders sound. They are extremely unique in that regard. Mainly because of two techniques they heavily use, Thumping and Selective Picking both of which Tosin basically invented and they are really tricky to pull off. That along with Matt Garstka's inhuman drumming. But the techniques are getting popular so in the next few years maybe there'll be more bands putting out similar stuff, Polyphia's already started doing stuff with Thumping so you should check them out. As for the polyrhythms, if you like AAL in that regard, you should check out Meshuggah, Pomegranate Tiger, The Helix Nebula, Scale The Summit, Exivious and Trioscapes.

Wheel too

Absolutely not

@@blindsidexv6244 They really do if they want to reach a wider audience and not just attract hipster, elitist musicians lol. Good songs get remembered for lifetimes and you need a singer for that to be possible. This is why they'll never be as big as Periphery or Dream Theater or any other bigger prog metal band even though they deserve to be. They're forever stuck as an opening act as long as they stay as instrumental only. At least get some guest vocals or something for a few songs and it's not like they have to stop doing instrumentals just because they have a singer too. They can easily still do both.

@@losferwords100 or they’ll just do whatever the hell they want and keep being awesome the way they are lol, I mean there’s that too.

@@blindsidexv6244 And be a band that's completely forgotten in the long run? Yeah, I guess there's that. I'd rather them be remembered and for that, they need a vocalist. That's all I'm saying. Nobody really cares about instrumental music in the grand scheme of things and it's a very small niche that do.

@@losferwords100 you act like every band that has vocals is gonna be remembered forever. AAL is already more popular than a lot of bands with vocals. I guess I have a hard time understanding this ridiculous logic lol.

Word of advice: unsolicited advice is not needed in most scenarios. This is a reaction, not the actual song so the flow is less important. If you want to hear the song and its flow go watch the original.
