Man, what a great album all the way through. I'm enjoying it so much. I loved Para Mexer after some of the previous songs. Just a great tune. Excellent job by AAL again.
Nephele just straight ....ing rocks.

Extremely impressed with this album. I loved the first album, thought Weightless was 'meh', but the production and grooves of the new album are just amazing. I've been listening to the videos on Youtube nonstop since they put them up. Can't wait to get my physical copy in! I can finally take Altered State out of my car's cd player 
Man I love this new album. The older material intrigued me, but never grabbed me, I always found it pretty impenetrable.
This album though, the grooves and the melodies, have such an immediacy to them. Really killer album that's opened my eyes to what you can do with an 8 string.
5/5 album for me.

Wow, I got the poster and album today from merchdirect, right on the release date and everything! I guess all the warnings were unwarranted.

Did you play bass on all the songs on the new Animals As Leaders album? | ask.fm/NollyPeriphery here's nolly's reply to the bass question that was asked here earlier.

Amen to that man! They literally skipped my order for Periphery's Clear. I had to contact them a month after the release and they said they completely skipped over it. Last time I ordered through them the poster came 3 months after the fact... I really avoid using them whenever possible, which is why I grabbed my The Joy of Motion CD off of Amazon, atleast they're reliable

Haha yeah I remembered a TON of complaints about them in the past and a bunch of people saying that I'd probably get this cd in a month from now. Oh well, guess I got lucky.

Wonder how many copies they'll sell/presold in the first week. Seemed like quite a bit of anticipation.

Why is that name so familiar?! He has 1000 videos so now I have no idea what I remember of his. I feel like I must have seen stuff of his way back in like 2005 on the opeth forum or something.

He has a couple of projects, Kiri Kiri Kiri and he does vocals for another band Carbomb.

I have been listening to it since this morning, and my reaction is HOLY SHIT! I think this release is easily my favorite from AAL. As for P.E. it reminds me a lot (the groove) with Primus stuff, I definitely hear a Les Claypool influence on a lot of the grooves on JOM. So far, a masterpiece, no favorites yet.
This year has been amazing so far, Cynic, Conquering Dystopia, then AAL, and anticipating a new Obscura later this yr, a new Freak Kitchen, a new Christian Muenzner....AND....hopefully a new Beyond Creation. It's gonna be too much

I think the solo for Ka$cade is my favorite out of all the AAL solos. The opening gives me chills every time!
