TIL "Backpfeifengesicht" is German for "a face in need of a slap".

yawn

Song is fucking awesome

tracklist is almost worse than 22 A Million

It's definitely gonna be a different beast from anything they've done so far. The songs feel a little less formulaic that before.

I was thinking 'this is gonna be AAL all over again' and then 2:10 hit. Tosin's really figuring out the best way of getting that slapping in there.

Eh, this doesn't do much for me tbh. I always love the fusion leads, but that ain't enough to save this.

Bad business move naming songs with unpronounceable words. The djent kids won't know what to say...

The production on this is so clean it borders on sterile. This album better not be Weightless II.

"tracklist is almost worse than 22 A Million"

lets not jump the gun here guys

initially read this as "ALA's Fear of Numbers" and was like "fuck, is he making music now too?"
whew

these guys are consistently fun af

"Bad business move naming songs with unpronounceable words. The djent kids won't know what to say..."

Lmao

It's early so maybe it's just a big grower but initially I didn't think that was terribly good, even though I'm a fan of theirs. Seemed kind of all over the place and trying too hard to be jazzy and random, with no direction.

First single killed it, this one not so much

that first single was a good direction for them to take, not feeling this much either

This sounds way more focused than the first single tho

This is dense, lots of grooves. Will be a grower for me

Awesome

God I wish I could write music like this on my 8 string. Listening to this just makes me want to sell it.

The first song was extremely good, but this was boring.

"transcentience"

Good to know the first single was just an anomaly and they're back to doing that boring as fuck djun-djun-djun-wank solo fest bullshit they always do.

Not bad. Like this better than the firs single. Still stoked for the release, but I have a feeling it won't be much of a difference or improvement over their previous work.

I do enjoy this, as I would expect from any AAL release at this point, but rhythmically this is actually starting to get towards inaccessible - impressive but not easy to listen to, and that's something they had in spades before for me.

The first single was fucking amazing. This sounds rushed like tosin ran out of time. Maybe he was tempting time?

Accessibility is for plebs ;)

"This album better not be Weightless II"

I would seriously love for this album to be a Weightless II

3 progressive 5 me

u can't handle the zero distortion junz m8

Also weightless was great fuk u

Weightless was pretty good. I just prefer their groovier stuff over their dj0nty pr0g.

The beginning of this track is annoying. The rest was decent.

the beginning sounds like its bout to drop into a trap beat lol

It's....ok

good idea clim

Nice track but the one before was better.

It's a good track but the production is not so good. Lacks the punchy feeling that even the quieter moments of the last record had. This sort of sounds like it was recorded in a rush and the mix is kind of muddy to me.

Really digging this one - coming from someone who was kinda bored by their last album

"the beginning sounds like its bout to drop into a trap beat lol"

ONly thing missing is the air horn

Never judge production from a 128 kbps youtube video.

really enjoyed this
