Aw man. You just added an amazing visual to this song, thank you!

I don't have doubt, it is one the most complex and dense AAL's songs ever. It is sad, dark, deep, atmospheric, heavy, creepy, many elements and layers together in just one song. So many possibilities of sonic interpretation and representation, I'm always speechless and hypnotized listening it.

I wouldn't have agreed with you not very long before now. but the main reason I do? It's because this song can be played to high fidelity on a single piano. In Tosin's older works, like CAFO or tempting time, to properly capture the sound, 2 pianos are needed. Yet many of his works after that album produced songs that sound almost infinitely more complex, but the composition is simplified in a way where their renditions sound much more complete on a single piano; including this song and I love it

These guys are so inventive. You never know what’s gonna come next in one of their songs

This is one of those few songs that only get better and better after every listen. Should have been a single, IMO.

This song... easily goes into my Top 10 AAL songs. Especially the first two minutes are pure heaven!

The initial solo is very Holdsworthian, love it.

This is my favorite song on the album. The opening riff is emotional, then that solo hits. Man it hits hard. Towards the end there’s a heavier emphasis on bass, and that strikes every chord in my body. Fantastic work from AAL, knocked it out of the park. Didn’t think they could top Madness of Many, but they did.

You gotta see this song live, the first solo damn near made me levitate

If someone claims this is soulless shredding show him the solo at 1:13. One of their best imho. Always makes me smile.

Matt garstka is hands down my fav drummer he’s inspired me to play music that I couldn’t ever play before

If anyone hasn't seen them play this live, I would highly recommend. This song, and the lights they have going with it. Everytime I hear this song I remember being back at the show, at the same time it takes me back to the present and being more in the moment in a strange way

This album is like the combination of every song they made turned into one album, so beautiful

I'm making that good stank face listening to parts of this.

This song in my opinion reflects a feeling of grievance. All of the emotions related to it are shown in this piece.

This is the perfect background song for a trippy weird scifi story

That intro arpeggio could go on for longer, such a vibe....

What a journey this song is... man, AAL are just on another level. There are really only a handful of groups that can pull off this kind of technical skill _and_ musicality _and_ innovation _and_ songwriting etc. etc. etc. These guys do it every album, song after song.

I really need to keep up to date with things i enjoy. I discovered AAL nearly 10 years too late. I discovered this album yesterday, don't know how I've missed it all year. It's really been helping me keep my mind in focus mode while learning to CAD. Thanks AAL for making beautiful, powerful and inspirational music that stimulates my mind.

Chills the whole way...beautiful

Seriously cannot stop listening to this song, everything about it is perfect

I'm going to need thoughts and prayers after hearing this masterpiece. Otherworldly.

This song sticks out for me, best one on the album. Beautiful

i didnt FIRST hear this live, but the first time i REALLY was able to take it in was at a live show during their parrhesia tour and i nearly fucking shit myself at 2:33

This song gives me heavy "Millions" vibes from BTBAM. I had the same journey listening to it

Ah yes! To me, it feels similar to Deftones, with hard and soft sounds perfectly balanced. Of course, the comparison does not extend to the techniques, but just the overall ambiance.

@daedalus_20v

​@@laurentmorin1923 Agreed. I'm a big fan of the Deftones and this is one of the reasons why. They were never quite "nu metal," but incorporating those "ethereal" elements certainly set them apart from their peers and kept them relevant and fresh as the nu metal bubble collapsed. The older I get, the more I appreciate groups that expand their musical horizons.

I guess this is what it feels to listen to a dream.

omg!!!!!!!!!! this is amazing

Congradulations on signing with Sumerian AAL. This album rips. Just saw you guys live at the Crowfoot in Pontiac, Mi with Intervals. Thanks for choosing this song for the setlist its my new favorite.

Wohoooo amazing

Having serious difficulty wrapping my mind around some of these subdivisions….attempting to figure out what Matt is up too as a fellow drummer is what it must be like for the layperson trying to comprehend any drummer.

i really love this song :)
