They’re a band, IMO, that meticulous and purposefully evolve over small Increments. Every album builds upon each other and experiments in slight new ways. They’re foundation- even beyond just their band- is SOLID and HUGE. They just keep building upon it.

I think Animals as Leaders are way too focused on the rhythm element, most of their melodies don’t stick with me now in the same way those first 3 records do. Literally zero melodic hook for half this song which okay fine, but it is more boring because of it

Like the lead line is literally a single riff, a little improv solo or harmony over it wouldn't hurt

That was absurd, these guys are the highest tier technical musicians exploring dark waters. Really hope they release a Matt playthrough for this one

These guys never fail to amaze! This is my favorite so far on this album and I will not be surprised at all if another upcoming drop will best this one. If Tosin/Javier keep writing such sick riffs with thumping I may have to try picking up the technique.. again. They make it seem so easy!

1:56 is the craziest shit I’ve heard in a while. Just when you think Animals can’t out do themselves…

Okay this was interesting to read in relation to the title of this song - To quote Merriam-webster, "According to Greek mythology, when the peasant Gordius became king of Gordium in Phrygia, he dedicated his wagon to Jupiter and fastened its yoke to a beam with a very complex knot. Centuries later, when Alexander the Great arrived on the scene, he was told that he couldn't conquer and rule Asia unless he proved himself worthy by untying the knot. Alexander quickly solved his problem - and gained a new kingdom - by slicing the knot in half with his sword. Since then, "Gordian knot" has become a term for a difficult problem, and the phrase "cut the Gordian knot" has become a popular way to describe a neat solution for an apparently insurmountable difficulty." Damn!

An aggressive and nuclear departure from the cliches of the genre - and themselves - while - somehow - paying respect to their favorite, microscopic elements of those same familiar sounds. You can tell by the music that these guys are inspired by far, far more than metal. They are tapping into a pool of spiritual and intellectual resources to make their music- and instead of coming off as pretentious and elitist - they are simply just *happy* and *excited* to express how much they love it all.
