      Animals as Leaders, Haken, and The Faceless are good places to start. And actually The Contortionist fits this too, they tend to be a bit heavier than this song on average.

    Groove heavy. Darker tones. Production quality is phenomenal, given the kind of music. Composition is stellar, even with the off time beats...they aren't overpowering and really tasteful. And the soothing, lower registered singing has been lacking in this genre (and many rock acts, myself included). It all has a "consolidated epic" kind of sensibility. I dig it.

    When a band is this sophisticated this is the only way to do a music video. Such a good album and music video. I bought the album on itunes but I might just get a physical copy to support the band some more

    Apart from this song being an absolute masterpiece, I also love how you can actually see how they enjoy playing it. These genuine smiles tell you they don't want to show off or pose as the great musicians they are, but they just love playing the music and appreciate how it all comes together as art.
    I don't know why I wrote this, but it just seems like a very unique thing for a music video.

    Intrinsic, which I thought was a better album than Exoplanet, is one of my favorite metal albums, period. This album sounds like it's going to be EXCELLENT.

    • @mike__durrett
      @mike__durrett 10 лет назад +6

      I agree. Exoplanet has its moments, but I can find something I love in every song off of Intrinsic. They become more and more musical each album. I love the skills they have with dynamics. Man. :D

      @nsjohn130 10 лет назад +2

      kitramsey5150 Except for the obvious fact that there are many people on YT (look at comments) that enjoy Intrinsic more, it vibes better. Many, including myself, listened to Exoplanet and loved it. And then loved Intrinsic more.

    • @nsjohn130
      @nsjohn130 10 лет назад +1

      kitramsey5150 The nice thing is that it's music. Our subjective feelings don't need to agree. I have Intrinsic on my top 20 all time metal albums. Many wouldn't. To me, it's superior in almost every way. Much more dynamic. It encouraged me (an 11 year player) to write things that I had not before.

    • @nsjohn130

    What I love about this song is how all the parts just mesh together so cleanly. Nothing is forced. Everything is Integrated with thought and precision.
    You can tell a lot of love went into designing these tracks.

    10 years ago, I told Mike he has a powerful and captivating presence on stage, and he said, "Really? Wow, that means a lot man. Thank you!"
    Lol anyway, that was pretty cool.
    He's a super nice and humble guy, and truly is fun to watch. I'm not even sure if they're still doing shows

  • @michaelmoore5850

    Yesterday, I was introduced to "The Contortionist" and I now find myself deeply appreciating their music. This particular song - "Language I: Intuition" - evokes the essence of a timeless tale - intricate, thrilling, sensual. It’s truly astounding that such musical gems remain undiscovered by many - yet I feel immensely fortunate to have unearthed this band. The complexity and allure of their compositions captivate my senses, leaving an indelible impression that resonates deeply within me. This discovery feels akin to finding a hidden treasure amidst a sea of mediocrity. I am sincerely grateful for the music and the emotions it evokes. Thank you for this extraordinary musical experience! (20/6/2024)
