Animals As Leaders MEGATHREAD

[Murdstone]

Like I said, Javier's solo piece is nowhere on the album. It's a shame too, because that would have been my favorite part of the album...

I'm really, really glad I got to see these guys while they were still playing good music. Oh well...I'll be listening to the self-titled for years to come.

Yeah I'm slightly bummed that Javier's piece didn't make it, but how could I possibly be disappointed overall with this album as a whole, you'd have to be a mad man. Now I know that everyone has different taste in music and all that, but if you are a fan of the first album how could you not love Weightless?

It's fucking immense.

Is 'David' not Javier's solo piece then?

Is 'David' not Javier's solo piece then?

Correct.

Edit, it may be A Javier solo piece, but not this one that we have been discussing:

C'mon, guys. You know that Tosin posts here? I wonder what his reaction would be if he saw all these people downloading his hard work illegally. You better ALL have preorders waiting, or else I hope guilt eats you up and AAL call you out specifically in public, and everyone does a Nelson laugh.

Because this isn't good or anything

mod edit: since you didn't get the point from the guy getting banned earlier today, we don't tolerate piracy here

The next person posting about a track that hasn't been released or discussing the leak is getting a month, and going up from there

 

[AmishRefugee]

I missunderestimated Weightless

It's fantastic

also the mixing/mastering is loads better than the s/t. Sounded great on my cans

 

[codync]

To those missing Javier's solo piece, let's not forget that they released Wave of Babies as a bonus track after the S/T. They can easily do that again with this release.

 

[ByDesign]

Totally enjoying the vibe on Weightless, definitely sounds more organic, more confident.

 

[Blasphemer]

Man, not listening to this is killing me. I've only let myself listen to Isolated Incidents, and only that because they played it live.

I'm blue balling myself on purpose, so when I have the physical CD in my hands and hear it, it will be this:

 

[GSingleton]

Yeah, this one album I am absolutely waiting for til I have it in my hands

 

[Opion]

Having met Tosin in person and speaking with him on a purely musician's perspective, I choose to wait until my preorder arrives solely because this piece of music is absolutely worth the wait. I remember when I started to do it the traditional way and let the whole experience take hold as the CD was in my hands and the experience was fresh; I really dug it that way ever since. I just feel it'd be a lot more genuine - seeing as this band among some on this forum have seen them grow from the very beginning, it just seems appropriate to give it the respect and consideration it deserves.

 

[codync]

Deserving music is going to get its respect no matter how you consume it.

 

[TimmaethBoy]

Waiting for it won't be that bad. I'm sure there are tons of other bands you can be checking out in the meantime to fill the gap, not to mention holding the final product in your hands is a very satisfying feeling (I'm looking at you mp3s). Looking forward to hearing what direction Tosin will take the band.

Hey look at me, I'm waiting until the record label deems it appropriate for me to hear the music. \self-righteousness

Total rebel right hur

 

[Vletrmx]

Hey look at me, I'm waiting until the record label deems it appropriate for me to hear the music. \self-righteousness

Hey look at me, I'm willing to listen to a shitty quality mp3 to pass judgement on something 20 days before the artists' intended release date.
