I never touched any deluxe editions or re-releases from AaL before this, so the first time I heard Wave of Babies was in concert in 2017, and I freaked the fuck out. Turned to my wife like "WTF is this?!", found the song, and then put it on loop for the next two months. Quintessential Djent song IMO

@Diesel_Budgie 2 года назад

For a long time I thought Wave of Babies was just some bonus track and never listened to it. What a mistake that was. I do believe it's the perfect intro song to AAL. The crazy fun heaviness, the stunning jazzy and melodic bits, the perfectly crafted momentum, all while being technical and still probably their most fun song. Just brilliant and never gets old.

People knew he got his thumb technique from Wooten when the AAL self-titled first dropped; I remember talking about it with friends irl, and it hardly killed the hype. Probably every AAL fan I knew then was a Wooten fan, too. Your average rock and metal guitarist who's advancing technique and pushing the genre forward to the extent Tosin Abasi did isn't making stuff up out of whole cloth, rather they're just creative enough to borrow from musicians outside of their genre. It's really a matter of whether you've heard music remotely like what they've made before, not whether they actually came up with every discrete technique they use by themselves.

I love how Tosin's fingerstyle technique is more reminiscent of what I would describe as "hybrid thumping" as the playstyle is similar to hybrid picking but with an emphasis on thumping (also without a pick). I'm just really happy that Tosin has been doing what he's been doing for so long now that he's inspired a bunch of other guitarists to continue to push the limits of the instrument in new and interesting ways.
