Animals as Leaders-Weightless
Prosthetic
November 8, 2011

If I was as musically talented as Animals as Leaders, I’d show off all the time too. These guys know what they’re doing, and are able to write an album that’s so impressively crafted that I barely notice their lack of vocalist. Instead, it’s the guitar work that leads the charge, and there’s plenty of that throughout Weightless.

Listening to Weightless really reminds me of Between the Buried and Me. The music seems so strikingly similar, though Animals as Leaders have a lighter sound (this could be due to lack of screaming) that sometimes has parts that remind me of a video game. The tempos are relatively mid paced, which gives the guitars a lot of room to breathe, and even more noodle room.

My mind is blown by how good these guys are at their skill. Hearing the music as clear as it is, with no vocal interruption, on here makes ability of these musicians stand out even more. Color me impressed.
