Never heard of these guys until today. This song features Justin Chancellor on bass. The drummer is money! Their other music has a clear connection to Tool.
Meh, I don't get it. Not sure what the purpose of this type of music is.
I am getting farther and farther out of the loop. I ain't skerred though.
Does music need a purpose?
Doesn't music speak about one's feelings? Express one's feelings?
Why it certainly does, but it can express many other forms or types of artistic, philosophical, psychological, political or mathematical expressions. Therefore, stating music should have a singular intended purpose seems to miss the mark.
I believe it should. This seems more like a soundscape than a coherent piece of music. Not bashing it, I just don't get it. I do hear the Tool connection in there.
"Art for art's sake". I remember that from one of my college English classes.
Art for the sake of art is the belief held by certain artists that art has intrinsic worth irrespective of any political, social, or ethical relevance. They believe that art should be assessed only on its own merits: whether it is aesthetically pleasing or not, and capable of creating a sense of awe in the observer through its formal features. Creating art for the sake of art refers to making “true” art that is not based on any practical function or tied to any specific social values.
"Art for the sake of art" affirmed that art was valuable in itself; that artistic pursuits did not need moral justification, and indeed, could legitimately be morally neutral or subversive.
I had to google that…
Well dang, I didn't know Yale was a musician. /s
