    The problem is that most of people don't even know how to define "feeling and emotion". I personally enjoy AAL because of the energy I get when I listen to them, it somehow wakes up the energy inside of me and gets me started for the day. Thinking that music should always be about feeling is like thinking poetry should always be about Love, it's awfully restrictive. Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive fan of piano and ambient music, but I personally need to listen to music "in phase" with how I feel at the moment. But if I need to wake up and get confident with myself, don't expect me to listen to Simon & Garfunkel. Anyway it's not like if AAL was on all radios and you were forced to listen to it...

    ifeelitbro "There are different stages to being a metalhead: First there is the plebeian stage, where kids are initially turned on to the genre of metal. They peruse nu metal and other metal-lite subgenres because it’s cool, new, and edgy. They haven’t yet explored the depths of the genre as a whole. Once they’ve become hitched on the genre they move onto stage two: contrarian puritanism. Metal engrosses this kid’s life, and subsequently becomes very, very serious business online. They love to subjugate subgenres, pigeonholing bands under a single label and getting offended when people mess up said labels. Still susceptible to peer influence, they will pick up and drop subgenres based on what they think is “real” metal. Other genres of music become a no-go zone, because metal is objectively better than any other kind of music that has ever had the gall to approach the teenager’s well developed taste in music. The third stage happens when a metalhead ages and matures beyond the point of edgy, black-and-white interpretations of the world. This stage is called the Grand Wizard. As an adult you realize that labels are silly and inhibiting a lot of the time. Metal is integral to your life, but it doesn’t make you who you are. You are free to enjoy the music you like on the basis of you enjoying it rather than if it fits within the genre. Other peoples’ taste in music differs from your own and you realize that’s just fine. You see comments you made calling out Korn and Disturbed fans for railing on extreme metal, telling them to go listen to rap and Justin Bieber like the homosexuals they are, and you get a little embarrassed. tl;dr Basically, it’s about maturity." -DestroyerErase Become Wizards my friends

    So you should only listen to music that is complex and technically hard to play? I don't like this kind of music, but it is not because I am jealous of his playing. It just doesn't do anything for me. I just heard this song, and already I can't remember anything about it. Its boring to my ears. Reading all these comments here gives me some understanding of why people like this kind of music. Most people who like this music are talking about how skillful this is. I see a lot of comments about musical taste and why some music is better then other music. I see a lot of comments of people who think they are somehow superior just because they like this kind of music. To me this whole discussion is completely pathetic. When I listen to music I want to enjoy it for the music. When I listen to the music I love, I don't care about the skill that is involved to make it. It is irrelevant to my liking of the music. I like simple songs, I like complex music. I listen to anything that I might enjoy. Jealousy doesn't come into play at all.

    This sucks just as much as jazz. Throwing disjointed progressions together and using theory to justify the splatter of noise that comes out. David Gilmour says more with a single bend than AAL does with 40 key and time changes. There is no emotion conveyed here. Unless he's trying to paint a picture of madness then it hits. Not my bag.

    "This lacks emotion" See Translation I like 4/4 time signatures with lyrics about relationships ending.

If anything I have found more emotion in Animals as Leaders than I have in almost all the music of the past decade.
