Nice Music....haven't heard them until now. shame on me ;) but where is it jazz-fusion?? it's more a mixture between technical metal and prog-rock. however...like it!
All of you shut the fuck up. We are all close-minded. All we need is respect and if we don't want something, then just ignore it. Why bring up "shit" to us or to you or another person? What the fuck, if you can't even realize that, then you yourself/yourselves are the simple-minded ones.
@zetsushoren Really? All people are close-minded? I don't know where you live and how you ended up being surrounded only by bigots, but hey man, not all people are close-minded! And you don't just ignore something if you don't want that exact thing, that's pure selfishness! How would someone who only needs respect but ignores things he doesn't want, and others do, earn this respect? Shouldn't you respect what I respect to earn my respect? Even things you "don't want"?
@FranLesPaul Exactly my point. If you don't want, why make a fuss over it
Just use your preferences as bases for separating the good things for you and bad things for you. Just ignore it and respect it as others may like it even if you don't. My point, THE point. Kindly elaborate this "selfishness" in ignoring as a sign of respect, rather than dissing the content and main topic. And no, I do not wish to earn your respect, it's up to you whether you are decent enough to show that.
@zetsushoren Well, now you're saying something else! What you said was basically 1. if you don't want ignore and 2. seek respect. So, I don't want to do my homework, I ignore it, I end up on the streets yet I want educated people to respect me. Hard work is what gets you the respect of others, and to be honest, no one really wants to work hard. You now say to respect things you don't personally want also, and that's a whole different thing. I didn't mean to come across as rude, sry.
Yay everyone's arguing over who's an idiot for liking this band or that band! Awesome! What would youtube be without it! Lol...
But anyway... Cynic is awesome... I don't really know much about technical musicianship, I just know what I like. I like the riffs in this, the vocal melodies.
And to throw in my 2 cents... I don't like Slipknot either. My opinion, but I find them boring. Generic. Doesn't mean the people who listen to them are stupid, though.
Uploader, your lyrics are wrong! Nave to breast, which you've put put for the first is correct then you've put Leaf to Breast the next part. 'From my great arteries' is the first line. 'A primal energy WHERE creation is, ON sympathetic chords." Also it's "I fall inside my trance, and tap my heart to test, the harmony within, a merciful connection."
@747823 Their Focus album came out barely 2 years after Sean Reinert and Paul played on Death's Human album, so of course Focus had some death metal elements in it. This album not so much though.
I'm hardly a metalhead anymore... I guess I'm just an open minded person who loves music in general. Except for mainstream rap/hiphop which is garbage nowadays.
Why is this not as popular as other bands? Seriously, normally I would bring up how much more technical and musically impressive than mainstream bands, but I understand the average listener doesn't care. But that doesn't even matter, it's so catchy, even if you don't think of it as complex music.
@mpauger15 Are you implying that people who listen to slipknot are simple-minded? If so, go fuck yourself arrogant prick. I listen to both cynic and slipknot and I'm proud to do so :)
@Hexedtemplar Thank you for opening my eyes you great templar of the wired world. Slipknot sucks, and I shall go die in the dark corner of some forgotten place... -_-'

Your idea of posting yet another "a certain number of people are retards cuz they pressed the dislike button" comment was simply brilliant. You should have added: "thumbs up if you agree xDDD", it would have then been perfect!
Sur ce, further responses from you will also be ignored.
@OscarHracsO if u listen to slipknot u don't understand this music. this is a whole different level of music. slipknot is not bad, don't get me wrong, jordison is a skilled technical player but the music is... normal.
@mayoarm11 That's a massive generalisation. So if I listen to Slipknot I have no appreciation for a deeper meaning than "I'm angry"? It's a different type of music; listening to it doesn't put you on a higher level than someone who listens to something else. Don't make the assumption.
@OscarHracsO@OscarHracsO hip hop is a "different type of music", and at the same time it's not music at all. Listening and understanding complex music does in fact make me "above" others MUSICALLY (not in general, as people). It does, in fact, mean I have a better understanding and appreciation for complex music. I was being too harsh with the slipknot example, however, they do make decent stuff.
@mayoarm11 Did you just say you're above others musically, because you listen to complex music? Are you fcking serious?
I'll just put it this way, every single talented musician who I know well appreciates every single type of music. You can always have your preferences, but never ever compare them to other music, that's just elitist talk. The more music you're able to enjoy and accept, the better, and that is what makes a good listener.
@ThrashIsBack100 it's a very low form of music. If you study music, you will understand what I mean. The fact that it's produced in the "music industry" automatically makes it music? rofl nope. How is that a valid point?
dude im done , obviously im not going to keep arguing in this Horrid never ending circle of opinions.
You dont like hip hop? thats fine , it doesnt make it not music . See ya later man , the next comment that replys to this im just gonna ignore it . because you obviously dont know what the fuck your talking about
@mayoarm11 slipknot was a start for me. i still like them, but i'm into artists much better now. it's still a pretty bad generalization. anywho, this is a great song
Calling people simple-minded for their musical knowledge, taste or acceptance is simple-minded. Who the fuck cares what others listen to?
It's ironic that it seems like you despise Slipknot for being so much more popular than Cynic, while at the same time you seem to enjoy the feeling of being so intelligent and special that you listen to Cynic.
Well let me tell you this: you dont need shit to listen to Cynic, just patcience, respect and interest.
Danny is extremely talented, and plays a very intricate, unique, and complex style. What is actually happening on guitar, and bass is more creative work, than technical work, but the songs overall are fairly complicated. Not as complicated as Cynic, but the complexity is still there. Both Cynic and Tool are creative works,rather than technical. However, I am of the mind that you need some sort of complexity to make such creative art. Both are amazing, and two of the best bands.
@crazyboyxx Quite frankly, what you prefer in the area of progressive genres comes down to musical taste. Cynic is as innovative as Tool, Isis or Meshuggah in their complexity, drive and weight. However, I prefer Tool over Isis (debatable >_> the two have very, very original styles in progressive metal), I prefer Isis over Cynic, and I prefer Cynic over Meshuggah. It's just what you prefer... progressive is the movement. It IS the innovation in music, right now.
@Raghimself In all reality, Tool and King Crimson are the real pioneers. But I don't give any one band credit for the progressive movement. Progressive is progressive, in all of its aspects. It's been a progressive thing in itself... so no one band deserves full credit. But some have impacted the genre more than others. Tool is the godfather of the progressive movement, and King Crimson is its great grandaddy. :P
@d1mw1t666 I think Tool impacted prog soundwise more than anything, along with the pure agressiveness without going death metal. Their song structures are not as complex as they sound but the arrangements are very well put together so music sounds like it's more complex - very smart deception targeted at our brain. Cynic is more complex but uses similar style of arrangements in their structures. Thus Tool is more popular because it's more ear/brain friendly. That's my thinking here.
@micanut48 Tool's drummer is the reason the band is as complicated as it is. WIthout Danny, Tool wouldn't be nearly as complex as they sound. Tool is that mathematical undertone which gives the band its name, truly.
@Raghimself Actually, it's exactly the other way around. Cynic didn't hit the mainstream till 93', with Focus. Tool hit the mainstream in 91', with their EP Opiate, and really innovated the genre in 92', with Undertow. Cynic had a lot of EPs, but they didn't hit mainstream success until their album Focus.
@xXMETALRULZ666Xx Floyd isn't technically 'progressive'. Rush definitely is, but they didn't immediately influence the progressive rock genre because it hardly existed in the late 70s/80s. And if we sat down and listed every single band who has effectively influenced prog metal, we'd be here for a while. :P
I was simply pointing out the immediate, and the most impacting of our generations.
@d1mw1t666 Also I would say bands such as Neurosis, Meshuggah, Rush, Dream Theater, and Pink Floyd are just as big of an impact. They all just pointed to different parts of the progressive genres. Rush to prog rock, DT to just straight up prog metal, Meshuggah to all the extreme/technical parts of prog, Pink Floyd to all the psychedelic stuff (and many other bands too) Neurosis to all the sludge/post metal . All these bands have been extreme forces of prog music.
@Fera713 Like I said, if we sat down and listed every band that has effectively influenced the progressive genre, we'd be here for a while. My only point was who has immediately, and in most ways, impacted the progressive genre. King Crimson, and Tool, are truly who would be considered the 'innovators' in their field in our generation.
@TheSAEmusic Hahaha well said. Btw, check out Animals As Leaders for great instrumental metal if you haven't already. Although Im pretty sure you have lol ;P
@jakii67 opinions, and I understand where your coming from, I used to not like Cynic because of the Synthed Vocals, but now I love it... It just suits it and fits in so well...
Btw, his normal voice without the Synths sounds almost the same... This is more beautiful.
@howycwap lol sorry, youtube was under maintenance here, well dude they combine very technical heavy elements, hard drumming, complex arpeggios with free jazz chords, rhythms, just the fact that they can do that without sounding chaotic is enough to impress me, because you can hear very extreme metal with amazing melodies and soundscapes and they do since 1993, also the "robotic" voice makes it unique so is fine for me.
@howycwap No problem, i suggest to check Gordian Knot, is the band from Sean Malone ex Cynic member, that guy have some mad skills and plays with a lot of rock legends.
I was assuming people were just kidding about the " feeling like they're jizzing their pants" when they listen to this, but woah, i felt it. What is up with that?
Traced in Air is a progressive metal album that is actually progressive. Wonderful dynamism throughout, lush melodies punctuated with off-beat rhythms and jazz-tinged scales- plus, it doesn't take 70+ minutes to say what it has to say; this is what prog should be. The rest needs another home. One of the few albums that I could listen to on repeat.

The singer uses so much auto tune when singing... a turn off.
jakii67 1 year ago
@jakii67 Dude, he's been using that since the 90s. It's for effect, not to make his voice better.

jakii67 1 year ago
@jakii67 opinions, and I understand where your coming from, I used to not like Cynic because of the Synthed Vocals, but now I love it... It just suits it and fits in so well...
Btw, his normal voice without the Synths sounds almost the same... This is more beautiful.

@007Pogo
true. what do you find so technical and sophisticated about it? (im honestly asking not being a dick)
howycwap 1 year ago
@howycwap lol sorry, youtube was under maintenance here, well dude they combine very technical heavy elements, hard drumming, complex arpeggios with free jazz chords, rhythms, just the fact that they can do that without sounding chaotic is enough to impress me, because you can hear very extreme metal with amazing melodies and soundscapes and they do since 1993, also the "robotic" voice makes it unique so is fine for me.
007Pogo 1 year ago
@007Pogo
yeah i agree, but i still dislike the vocals, not my bowl of oatmeal.
howycwap 1 year ago
@howycwap No problem, i suggest to check Gordian Knot, is the band from Sean Malone ex Cynic member, that guy have some mad skills and plays with a lot of rock legends.

Just for the record, in the lyrics, instead of 'Reviving Memories', it should be 'From My Great Arteries', thats what paul says.

Traced in Air is a progressive metal album that is actually progressive. Wonderful dynamism throughout, lush melodies punctuated with off-beat rhythms and jazz-tinged scales- plus, it doesn't take 70+ minutes to say what it has to say; this is what prog should be. The rest needs another home. One of the few albums that I could listen to on repeat.
