For their third album, Animals As Leaders teamed up with producer Misha Mansoor (Periphery) once again (Misha also produced/co-wrote/programmed their first album) to create their best album yet by far. The songs are well written with just the right amount of showmanship without being too flashy. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform live where new drummer Matt Garstka stole the show. The drums on 'The Joy Of Motion' are all programmed, but Matt did a great job of sticking to the beats from the album while also embellishing when possible to make it his own. I request you do two things: pick up this album, then see them live as soon as possible. You'll thank me.
