      Haha, when I saw them during Progressive Nation at Sea, there was this typical amarican mother sitting next to me in the theater(yes they played in a theater) and next to her was sitting this man with an "images and words" tattoo. I assumed she wend with her hustband to this cruise so I asked her, do you like this? She said: Ohhh yes!!! I love it all!

    This one reeks of The Bearded Reyes, that lovely Latin playing. What a unit The Professor and his 2 Ascended Humans are. 😁

    Another year indeed. More like another beer. One of my favorite animals tracks. Gives me pleasant past innocent childhood vibes. Hard to explain. Some kind of Mr Rogers reading rainbow feels haha.

    I swear Tosin plays a lot of this song in that 17 minute video where he's testing that guitar by that Italian luthier!

    • @JibriCabell
      @JibriCabell Před 10 lety

      are you talking about the fanned fretboard absynth? I saw a similar-in-length video and thought the same thing haha

    • @KaraethonOfficial
      @KaraethonOfficial Před 10 lety

      Jibri Cabell Yeah man! It's in the suggestions actually, everyone should watch it just to see Tosin jam around, it's incredible.

    this song grinds me to the teeth with it's smooth yet complex intro. It kills me playing it but it feels so damn good.
