"not as good as the last record. kind of a poor man's screamo deftones"

is this real life

5.0 classicNBA | June 24th 12

Only one other time in my life has a band completely drawn me in through their music. Every detail, from the vocal melodies, to the screams, the guitar play, the effects is perfectly executed. Big things await these guys.

It truly is sad that these guys had such a short-lived career. The musicianship and songwriting on display here is
just as, if not more, captivating nearly a decade after it’s release.

5.0 classicPorcupineDream | July 15th 12

2 songs were enough to convince me buying their new record, and I'm completely blown away. Complexity, melody and harmony is mixed in such a near unsurpassed way, incredible in these days.

if they push back the release date of this one more time, i'm going to be so pissed.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time and Arcology is one of the best songs of all time, fight me

Already a few songs in, and I can't believe how much I'm digging this.

Showed their potential in some songs, yet showed whats holding them back in others, hopefully their next album will find the right balance

More metalcore-ish influences this time around and less excessive craziness makes this more consistent but less fun.

This was great! A perfect mix/blend of metalcore/progressive/rock and just pure awesomeness...

Still an album I can?t help but revisit every time I remember it exists. This band was something truly special.

4.0 excellentXSebbyMcMuffinX | October 20th 21

While their previous album seems more cohesive, like it grips your attention at any point while all having engaging context, this album has a few weak points. That said, some of the highs on here are easily among this band's best moments. This album is more emotionally chaotic than it's predecessor, while trying to channel that into a more controlled song-writing environment. Honestly, I think these specific elements clash more than they compliment. Whores of Babel and Arcology both feel like they should be more emotionally raw in the music to match the lyrics. Overall, album starts off strong and mostly maintains it, with minor slumps and an underwhelming finish.

Am i crazy for hearing some ATDI in hear? Examples on tracks 2 and 3.

2.5 averageEasterInTheBatcave | December 19th 15

An incongruous record that never comes together despite having all the right ingredients. It's like spilled orange soda-- the soda is delicious, but you can't drink it when it's not held together in the bottle.

Bump

5.0 classicAGrowlingOwl | December 7th 15

A perfect blend of heavy hardcore aggression, shoegaze-like noisy soundscapes and post rock
inspired crescendos. One of my favorite albums ever.

Bump

0.0 Julianna Reed EMERITUS | February 27th 13

Tree of Tongues is a testament to one thing only: Exotic Animal Petting Zoo simply don't know how to add interesting metalcore to their eclectic blend of post-rock. The best tracks here are the calmest ones.
