Chon are definitely not the same style.. Chon are mixing a lot of Math Rock in their sound, which Animals As Leaders has none.. also, AAL's Metal-roots are way more evident. Chon had some metallic demos, but overall their music is some sort of modern Math Rock/Prog Rock mix rather than something related to Metal. With that being said... I honestly prefer Exivious with the jazz/metal combo. Tymon is a ridiculously underrated guitar player that definitely gets Jazz a lot more than Tosin. For starters, he knows how to actually improvise, lol.

rereading the initial comment I responded to, the very notion of a band being "superior" without any discussion is ridiculous. There is no such thing as superior music. More technical? More harmonic fluctuation? More of what you like? Doesn't mean superior, it means you just like it more. All bands discussed are awesome in their own rights.

AAL _is_ superior to most bands, but *not* superior to bands of the same style. I have compiled a playlist of other Prog bands that have written great songs. I welcome you to visit my KZread page and check it out! Peace

I love the direction they've been going in, this is straight fire

This song is groovy as hell

One of my favorite bands. Tosin Abasi is a freaking prodigy. The bass solo at 2:36, the insane breakdown at 3:16, and Tosin's absolutely mind-blowing guitar solo at 3:48. What sets his playing above other bands of this genre is that he plays with soul and heart, and you can hear it in the music. Looking forward to hearing more music from these dudes.

Whenever I get tired of repeatative chugging, high growling. low guttural, never ending progressive solos, blast beats, breakdowns, I come here to relax enjoy the music. spark bowl. kick back and lose myself. god bless this song thanks tosin

Love the intro, and not even 20 seconds in, Tosin starts shredding. I absolutely love these guys.

Another great song from them!! I love how their music takes a u turn while it's taking a U turn while it's going everywhere but at the same time it's under control. Their music is making my brain go crazy and I love it!!

1 second into the song and instant like. I'm pumped for the show at the glass house, so even though the album is out, I'm going to wait to hear it live.

Listen to the rest of the album if you haven't yet, there are some insanely heavy parts. They used a 9 string (or 8 string tuned as low as a 9) a good bit in this record it seems.

@absence7445

7 жыл бұрын

I think it was their Strandbergs or Rick Toones with the extended fretboards, they tune those down to C# and, by the sounds of it, D for some songs on this album. Although they have posted videos of 9 strings, so I could be wrong.

@ThePerson7474

7 жыл бұрын

I think they probably did both, I know that on Private Visions of the World Tosin played a 9 string (at least on Instagram). I was thinking they would do one song tuned that low but was surprised to hear multiple, I got out my 8 string to compare to make sure I wasn't going insane lol.

I started playing magic when this album came out. Fond memories even though i only played on the internet (im my best friend). They released kaladesh aether revolt and amon khet and it was perfect because the cards were futuristic and modern and so is the theme of this album. This album will always remind me of magic.

Don't get me wrong, they're decent, and songs like Puddle and Dust are decent, but compared to AAL their technicality is nothing. It's just a load of 2-5-1's with distortion and guitar solos which sound the exact same laced over the top. AAL however.. Whole different story. Imo, anyway.

i can see that. honestly i listen to both for different reasons. aal is really abstract or avant-garde as far as melody is concerned, and the melodies fracture before becoming a longer cogent statement in favor of more technical passages whereas with chon the melodiousness is just so loquacious and tends to flow continuously
