German for "shape decomposition" or Gestalt decomposition", is a type of visual agnosia and is a psychological phenomenon where delays in recognition are observed when a complex shape is stared at for a while as the shape seems to decompose into its constituting parts. In plain terms, if a subject reads or hears the same term over and over, that term ceases to have any meaning.
Holy shit, that's what this means? I have a memory of dissociative-ly staring at a toy firetruck for like 20 minutes when I was like 7 years old (heavy boredom I guess..? Haha.) and it just stopped making sense spatially/contextually as a firetruck to my brain for a couple of minutes - was just this strange red, black and white form that I stopped understanding. It's probably happened a couple of times since, but never so intensely. Never knew it was a phenomenon. Thanks for the definition!
@@will4282 ya that's from wikipedia and the 1st recorded phenomenon was a guy staring at an actual truck and it disintegrated after getting injured in the head. You can read about it from that Wiki entry.
How does staring at a funky physical shape until realizing that it's made up of many parts, have *anything* related to hearing a term over and over again til' it loses meaning?..
Amazing composition, clean yet complex and has that incredible AAL style that's both powerful and beautiful all at once. Making a custom Clone Hero chart to this right now; it's just too appropriate :)
I gotta say, I think my favorite Animals as leaders songs are the ones that Misha has had some kind of hand in helping create. Whole new album is great. My favorite song by them is Another Year, and this song kinda feels like it's channeling that melodic energy just a bit.
Ever since I heard this song, I always thought the part starting at 2:10 sounded like something Misha would write and seeing your comment solidifies my thought lol
feels like a soundtrack to a man-made apocalypse. i felt things...feel things. alive in an era of so much abundance. alive in an era of so much waste. alive in an era that will likely never been seen again. wondrous. excruciating. it's everything.
The way that part progresses is absolutely incredible, I'm lost for words. The choice of notes, the chord progressions, everything being backed up with the unique ambience that AAL provides.. It defies description
My favorite one of the album. It incorporates all their styles throughout the years, from their self titled album contained in the bridge, the joy of motionesque intro (woven web style herta), the fresh guitar sounds of madness of many and the electronic drum elements of Weightless. 🤗
love the epic bit like everyone here, also have to mention 3:57-4:05 is so fucking crushing with the way the background chug fits into the drums, instant planet annihilation vibes
Finally an album from them that rivals Tosin's original self-titled. Incredible. Had to repeat "Red Miso" 10 damn times before I finally made it past to this and I'm continually blown away.
I thought that too, until about a month ago I decided to give other albums another go. The Joy of Motion and The Madness of Many is actually on par with their first album. They just take some time to comprehend.
@@yurikrupin6907 I don't even think the albums can be compared. They are all so different in style. Each album has a different feel and with each album comes growth and experimentation. Obviously there are similar elements strewn across their discography, but each album is a different mood or genre.
@@ericthorpe5670 So much this. Albums 1 (tosin solo project with misha on drums, production, maybe some riffs) 2-3 are quite distinct stylistic works with different drummers on each. 4th again really felt distinct and cohesive on all members parts especially matt really coming through. This album feels like a welcome return to some elements of 1 and 4, and getting Misha back on producttion is icing on the cake.
Guys you smashed it with this album, I have been hyped for so long for the album drop. You guys totally delivered with these tracks! Europe tour soon pls :)
I've been listening to this album ever since it came out but honestly the reason for me to return to it is the absolutely massive part starting from 02:53... While they would sound epic in any context I think there's something so very special and powerful about chord proggressions like this one played on a downtuned electric guitar that couldn't be matched even by an orchestra...
Hes eclipsed everyone. Hes an alien. Hes not one of the best, he is it lol. And this comes from a drummer myself who is well versed in tool, intronaut, etc. I know drummers.
@@Bubblepoot um...alright. wasnt weird at all actually. but now you've made it weird. And you made it weird 3 days ago, saying in another comment here that tosin doesnt play his own solos. I guess you never heard of a thing called "live shows". Cya
I saw them perform this live last night, you felt a blast from the breakdown at 2:53 like it was like getting body slammed by music and emotions, same thing for the slow thumping part in physical education I felt a sonic boom. Seeing animals as leaders was a beautiful experience then Devin Townsend came out and kicked ass too.
Saw these guys last week for the 5th time - loved the setlist and the energy was incredible, as always. I was a little bummed they didn't play this one. My favorite off of the album - hopefully next time!
I really want to know if Tosin was listening to Covet during the writing of this album. Some of this song has crazy Yvette Young vibes i.e. 1:30 - 2:05

God that intro making me tear up, the tone, the context, the note choice. The placement. It's all just so Incredible
Before the outro riff, it felt like they realized they had 500 more notes to play in under 30 seconds.
First time in a while a RUclips comment has made me audibly laugh.
Speed: UP
lmfao
you got a point there
i swear if you look at sheet music for this it's gonna open your third eye
After hearing them all, came back to this one and it's been on repeat. Very beautiful, great job AAL!
Exactly the same for me
Same here
Same!!
Amazing composition, clean yet complex and has that incredible AAL style that's both powerful and beautiful all at once.
Making a custom Clone Hero chart to this right now; it's just too appropriate :)
You are so right! I was stuck on Red Miso for a while and then came back to this one after skipping it and I've had it on repeat for days!
S.W.A.T. teams could just use 2:53 to break down any door they need. Holy shit is that hit massive

idk about which ones misha helped with the most but for me the brain dance is one of my favs
To anyone reading this
I hope you enjoy this incredible music and band
I also hope you have an amazing day and accomplish all your goals and dreams
Hey I've seen you before. And thank you, you as well
@@vanation321 maybe we have same music tastes
@@uktechmaster8948 Haha, and it always seems to be tracks off of animals as leaders' new album
🙏
@@vanation321 oh ok
I have a massive variety of music I listen to
But animals as leaders are the top of my list
My all time fav song is cafo
2:06 this melody line is so freaking good
If I had this on a tape this part would’ve been already wiped clean
feels like a soundtrack to a man-made apocalypse. i felt things...feel things. alive in an era of so much abundance. alive in an era of so much waste. alive in an era that will likely never been seen again. wondrous. excruciating. it's everything.
@@darrelllindsay8656very poetically said
I'd say right off the bat this is going to be one of my all time favorite AAL albums
Second half of this song is strong contender for my fav moment on the album. Great vibes 🙌🏻
It definitely is !
Favorite track from the album so far ! That bit from 2:28 is outstandingly powerful !
2:10 onwards... what the FUCK dude?! My god it sounds huge. Absolutely stunning artistry.
Cool. Gives me some Boards of Canada vibes.
The way that part progresses is absolutely incredible, I'm lost for words. The choice of notes, the chord progressions, everything being backed up with the unique ambience that AAL provides.. It defies description
@@HermeticAscetic22 it makes me think a lot of CHON
lets not leave fallujah out of this discussion
they had something similar in nephele from joy of motion.
Man that tight beat coming in at 2:28 is just so good. Gonna loop it for hours
my brain cells are now massaged.
My favorite one of the album. It incorporates all their styles throughout the years, from their self titled album contained in the bridge, the joy of motionesque intro (woven web style herta), the fresh guitar sounds of madness of many and the electronic drum elements of Weightless. 🤗
Incredibly beautiful music. Tosin Abasi is the 21st century Mozart.
@@Bubblepoot guess you never heard of something called live shows.
The clock in my room just gave up after I put this album on my speaker. It failed to be as accurate as Matt's timing :(
He practices 36 hours a day. It's hard to match.
😂
Holyyyy shitttt 2:28 actually gave me the biggest fucking smile. I love this album so much already.
Ulrich Schnauss creeping in.
I got goosebumps yo and then frikkkkkkkkk when it drops
Same here. I was grinning from ear to ear. What a band!
@@laurentmorin1923 same bro
Same here, got a fucking smile in my car listening to it 😁
Im somehow being impressed and surprised every other second, this album is amazing
The way how this track starts is just mind blowing. Charming melodies!
love the epic bit like everyone here, also have to mention 3:57-4:05 is so fucking crushing with the way the background chug fits into the drums, instant planet annihilation vibes
Hearing some chon influence. What a creative band
Definitely some Chon vibes ❤️
2:28 - 2:52 is my new ringtone, so I can enjoy all those spam calls "LET IT RING!!"
This is a most excellent idea!
🤣👍
Thanks for the timestamp. This is my favorite part of the song
Finally an album from them that rivals Tosin's original self-titled. Incredible. Had to repeat "Red Miso" 10 damn times before I finally made it past to this and I'm continually blown away.
Dude same! I've been stuck on Red Miso first and foremost. Then Thoughts and Prayers and Micro Aggressions. This album is nuts!
I thought that too, until about a month ago I decided to give other albums another go. The Joy of Motion and The Madness of Many is actually on par with their first album. They just take some time to comprehend.

red miso literally melts my face. it has a similar slow breakdown to this but also very different in terms of harmony
That lofi djent part >>>>>>>>
Misha production = grade A quality sound !
Really takes me back to when I discovered AAL
I once asked Misha after a show if he had ever heard of AAL. He was like "nah I only produced their first album". Felt dumb af lmao
My favourite from this album. Keep coming back to it 😍👌🏻
I love it !
Reminds me Private visions of the world
This has been my jam, got this on my mind whenever I feel down or want to feel motivated.
This album is becoming one of my favorites of all time, truly a masterpiece
This is art. This is the zenith of expression. Best band to ever exist.
This is the one
The 1:27 part sounds like 2:06 from Monomyth, ugh I love it when parts are referenced between songs
1:50 - 1:55 insane groove, catches me off guard every time ❤️
I love that part too 🔥
Guys you smashed it with this album, I have been hyped for so long for the album drop. You guys totally delivered with these tracks! Europe tour soon pls :)
Beyond amazing. I still play this album, almost everyday.
At 4:19 when the groove and melody come back feels so good like finding a lost pet or re meeting and old friend.😊
1:25 it sounds like Chon did this hahaha it's cool
1:25 I’m in heaven
It has that perfect balance of jazz and prog metal. Absolute art
I've been listening to this album ever since it came out but honestly the reason for me to return to it is the absolutely massive part starting from 02:53...
While they would sound epic in any context I think there's something so very special and powerful about chord proggressions like this one played on a downtuned electric guitar that couldn't be matched even by an orchestra...
Can't say i ever got into AAL, but this is fucking amazing. Definitely gonna check the whole album
Easily one of their best tracks ever...
By far my favorite track off the album, Matt is awesome
Oh wow!
heavy chon vibes
Matt is by far one of our most amazing and technical jazz, metal,fusion, etc drummers of my generation. He has eclipsed Danny Carey from tool
Hes eclipsed everyone. Hes an alien. Hes not one of the best, he is it lol. And this comes from a drummer myself who is well versed in tool, intronaut, etc. I know drummers.
@@Coryiodine now you made it weird homie
@@Bubblepoot um...alright. wasnt weird at all actually. but now you've made it weird. And you made it weird 3 days ago, saying in another comment here that tosin doesnt play his own solos. I guess you never heard of a thing called "live shows". Cya
The bridge developing at 2:30 always gives me goosebumps 😄🔥🤘🏿
Reminds me a lot of their self-titled. Me likey, a lot.
i can't believe they are not playing this track live, i thought it was everyone's favourite :) at least is mine
No way it's on the setlist for the tour
Man the second part of this hits so hard and layered perfectly! Good job guys!!! 😈🙌
I saw them perform this live last night, you felt a blast from the breakdown at 2:53 like it was like getting body slammed by music and emotions, same thing for the slow thumping part in physical education I felt a sonic boom. Seeing animals as leaders was a beautiful experience then Devin Townsend came out and kicked ass too.
The intro has a nice Arch Echo vibe to it. Great song, great album!
Only 50k views? This is a masterpiece :(
ok this is the best instrumental song I've ever heard
Saw these guys last week for the 5th time - loved the setlist and the energy was incredible, as always. I was a little bummed they didn't play this one. My favorite off of the album - hopefully next time!
Best track on the album
100 percent, those melodies are on point
Man I wish they had played this at Denver show this last week!!😍
I don't know how they can successfully record and mix these songs...That's a job for one seriously compartmentalized brain.
This might be the jammer of the year.
Agree
best music ever, and the last album was amazing too
It feels like they've captured the structure of fractals somehow
the most wook comment on a song i've read but you're not wrong they have the fractal master ball
those axe fx tones are tasty yes
@@chickenpasta7359 i think this was done with tosins new version of Neural DSP. Very nice indeed tho
He was talking about actual fractals, not the preamp. Lmao
@@Chilipotamus was replying to the axe fx comment. I understood
I'm glad they're continuing the theme of bizarre German words
AAL got me out here googling all these words, now my FBI agent thinks I'm writing a term paper on associative visual agnosia. Jokes on you pal!
Espectacular.
Me recuerda a Tempting Time en ciertos momentos
@@headbangercani la parte de tapping de Tempting time tiene un aire si
This music just makes me feel happy ❤️
Man always got a German word in there, Backpfeifengesicht, now this.
Maybe this is the sequel? They both have the same kind of synthy stuff going on in the middle of the song.
@@siegedoyle That's exactly what I was thinking. In a lot of ways Parrhesia as a whole feels like a Madness of Many sequel imo
@@siegedoyle you described every AAL song, not just the ones with German titles lmao
@@colbybeltz8836 ahahahah bruh
I'm in love
Thank you.
AAL forever and beyond! I humbly submit to you...
Gorgeous song
My goodness!!!!
2:27 is beauty
I'll be darned, that's just good
Oh my god, they gave us Chon back!
All I want is to hear stuff from them.. but this made me happy ❤️
@@nunolance23 Same 😭
Some parts in that piece reminded me Philip Glass piano etudes:) they are of course not as much sofisticated as this is
Sounds like air chrysalis 2.0
Yes. Best comparison.
For me the whole lead up to 2:10 and going forward blows my mind! This has officially outdone my favorite AAL moment in the Para Mexer outro
Love this song
Some of these riffs are so happy! The bridge is nostalgic. Love this song
masterpiece
Hell yea
when I found this band in 2011 my world became colourful again words cant describe how good they are
This is the sickest song they have ever made
4:06 makes me feel I am in the middle of a cyclone, like if its glory is being bestow to me.
This is so beautiful
The plot is slashing, until it kicks in the heart, it's cool, sir👍
Finally got my brother into AAL! Another victory for the fans.
I really want to know if Tosin was listening to Covet during the writing of this album. Some of this song has crazy Yvette Young vibes i.e. 1:30 - 2:05
1:27 Woven Web
YARRR
Just tasty man, every bit of it
keep going on! :-) amazing and original. 😎🤩🤗
If Intervals wrote a track in 7 different time signatures for the Dune soundtrack in 2099
God DAMN
Fuck this track is good.
you can see influence from their original album 👍
I think that's just called progress.
This is the new bar.
this is the best one
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is crazy.
