I Am Above On The Left [2006] An A-Bomb To Wake Up

This is complicated and explosive. This is innovation and progression. This is another heavy testament of pure musical genius from IAAOTL. Entirely instrumental, this album could easily make musicians stand openmouthed, wondering just how such music is written. No matter how chaotic they seem, all the compositions are dense and carefully structured. There are no improvisations or solos despite the influences of prog-rock or avant-jazz in their music. But there are lots of complex and dissonant guitar interplay, angry and crushing angular riffing, insane time and key changes, mind-pounding and panicked sounds, thought-expanding pauses and weird noise-drones. An A-Bomb To Wake Up is too overwhelming and complicated for an average listener to listen to, and much less to understand. This is something that has to be heard to be believed! (9 tracks - 44 min.)
