YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Okay, I've calmed down a bit now that I listened to Animals As Leaders' new track "Tooth and Claw." I haven't heard the entire album, The Joy of Motion, but fellow Metal Injection scribe Greg Kennelty has and he told me that as somebody who preferred the first album to the second, he very much enjoyed this new one.
Indeed, this new track is reminiscent in some ways of the band's older material. Unless I'm completely tone-deaf (possibly), this does not sound like the new song we have a live bootleg of. I look forward to wearing out this album on March 25th, when it is officially released.
Of course, the band will be on a massive North American headlining tour leading up to the release. Get dates here.
