This is funny because AAL always felt cold and mechanical to me, I mean I could feel the energy and rush through their songs, and I love their style, but I still had a sens a clinical technicity (not that technical genres are always cold, but this band particularly felt this way to me) That was before I listened to this whole album at once There are still other bands (as TesseracT or Dream Theater) that give me way more chill, but this album is truly a masterpiece, and there are some.moments that almost gave me goosebumps, this is a true journey Sorry for my wrong English

Thank god for this band

Longrod Von Hugendong The album has good ideas, virtuoso technique, a pretty stationary harmony and a heavily loop-based structure (typical in most popular music). Also, there's not much of thematical development (and I doubt we're justified to speak of 'themes' in this kind of music - just like we don't in baroque or some of contemporary classical. Rather riffs, motives, not even actual phrases). A symphony revolves around well-directed thematic manipulation, with quite advanced and rich harmony, plus the form, obviously (sonata-allegro, rondo etc.) I would only compare an AAL album to a symphony if they actually aim at building that kind of material.

I stand by it being loop-based. Consecutive repetitions of very short chunks of material are everywhere. And that's the paradigm in most popular music. Nothing wrong with it, plus, AAL are one of my definite favs for what they do. Still, this music is very differently constructed than your usual symphony, a wholly different approach (I'd find more similarity to Philipp Glass or John Adams here than to a "Beethoven sonata")

As if this song wasn't amazing enough... once its over, i get to hear Kascade again. Love this album.

THIS is how you close out an already epic album. My ears hurt from the eargasms it endured listening to this song.

I just wanted to say that this song Is very special to me. Thank you.

Still one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.

I like to think of this song as the movement through ones life. The beginning is chaotic as it would be when you're brought into this world and everything is new. Then the solo comes in and thats when you're old enough to understand the beauty of life, your mortality and everything around you. Then the chaos comes back as you grow older and you deal with your regrets and what-ifs. Then finally the breakdown closes out the album, fading out slowly, representing everyones inevitable fading from existence, and the inability to cope with death.

Wow, this is a GODLIKE way to end the album. Probably already my all-time favourite AAL song.

Very well done. One of the best endings to an album.

The only album ending that matches this is the ending of Periphery II. This is such an epic outro, absolutely in love with the fill Garstka does right at the very end of the fade out, you can only hear it if you listen hard but it's genius.

for me this is their best album by far. even after 6 years this and all their other songs are just masterpieces.

The ending just dropped my brain into my ballsack. Jesus Harpoon Christ, this album is things!

The lead guitar at the beginning reminds me of Tony MacAlpine's tone on Planet X's Moonbabies album. Also a monster album for those interested in atmospheric "jazz metal" of the highest level.

The last solo is pretty damn badass IMO. It lets out a very good energy that always makes me want to smile when I listen to it.

By far the best track off of this album

this is the best song I've ever heard! It has everything in it! omg thanks that i discovered this band!!!! Hard, Melody rhythm, i can not describe this is a crazy beauty it is soooooo special you have to listen to it then it will stay in your head forever I will guarantee you!!!

I love this album. Love this band. Mad respect.

This clean section is the smoothest jazziest thing i've heard in a while. Beautiful

Listening to this on my home stereo and those taps at 1:40 run around the speakers counter clockwise...epic song, epic album

Tears my soul everytime 1:14

3:43 I feel a chill on my skin... lml a total masterpiece.

Anyone an opeth fan? cause I've waited my whole life to hear a band as good as them and holy fuck AAL is amazing.

That part by Javier though ....... too beautiful.

Learn to tap the guitar rhythm in the outro. Becomes that much more fun to listen to.

Yep, still epic af
