Bring it on, Animals! I have high expectations for this album and this song is typical AAL. Some killer riffing at certain points and I'm optimistic.

Good, not impressive

I have to agree with you on that!

Solid, maybe 8/10. Not quite up to par with their debut, but at least the crappy electronic bits are now more tasteful - their last album was a flop imo...

"CAFO", "Tempting Time", "Song Of Solomon", that's where AAL's at. Sad that they can't write stuff like that anymore...

I quite enjoyed that.

Enjoyed that a hell of a lot more than I can remember enjoying anything off the last album.

Why do you think it was a flop? I can understand different tastes of course. I loved it

I personally think Weightless is their best album.
New song sounds promising.

Melodically, there was zero innovation, with hardly any riffs being memorable barring one or two. The whole album sounded like the run-of-the-mill virtuosic instrumental djent/progressive metal band combined with a few jazzy chords and riffs that identify the music as AAL. On its own, it was stands out as a decent record, but compared to what the band has done in the past...a flop.

Not bad, it's slightly better than the latest single they put out, but still not all that great in my opinion. I wouldn't mind passing on this album.
