Groundbreaking album. One of the few classics of the late 00s imo.

Animals as Leaders' debut is certainly an ambitious one. Everywhere there are instances of such otherworldly influences as techno, flamenco guitar, and purely technical metal. Of course, this is also an album where it can be a little too 'different' for one's own liking, and even though it is understandably unique as far as I'm concerned, it just won't be to everyone's taste. However, for those who like a challenge, this is certainly going to satisfy your needs, and consequently excite you right up until the last minute. The heaviness and aggression of 'CAFO' and 'Thoroughly at Home' contrast enjoyably with the slightly edgy calmness of 'Soraya' and 'Modern Meat'.

I finally have a copy of this album. At first I didn't think this was going to be anything special, but oh boy does this band prove me wrong. Excellent release! Extremely technical, but never forgetting to incorporate great, meaningful songwriting into the mix. This instrumental music speaks louder than any lyrics written for it possibly ever could. I'm impressed!

To me it's like listening to Noise or drone. Focus on one area for a awhile, but then zone out as you start to hear everything else. It's a little overwhelming but it'll happen... hopefully

It's not something I like to listen to frequently, but this at least has some substance compared to other prog albums, even if it drags on a bit.

I have a negative bias towards this band because of people I know that I associate with them.

However, that aside, I gave it a full listen tonight and I am absolutely astounded. Very strong, powerful material. Artistic. Creative. A 9 definitely, probably a 10 in the future.
