Can we just talk about that near funk level of groove, and how well her vocals harmonize with the guitars, and how JINJER keeps getting better and more unique in their sound?

[ShawnAndersonowmyspleen]

This whole band has really grown. And yes Tatiana is great and all but damn Roman, Eugene, and Vlad just fucking nail every thing in this track. and that breakdown at 2:51 give me goosebumps every time.

[shantypiker]

51 yr old musician here (bass since 1985)... I have watched Metal evolve from its very inception. From a musician's point of view, Metal kinda "stagnated" over the past 20 yrs. Discovered Jinjer 2 yrs ago and been hooked ever since. Long story short, Jinjer sets new standards with every new song. Jinjer is The Future of Metal.

[rinozisa]

Everyone: This is a bandana. You wear it on your head.

Tatiana: Its a bra.

[alexisbarrette]

Restrictions spawn creativity. Vlad plays a smaller kit than their previous drummers yet he's by far the most technical and creative one they've had. Then there's the fact that Roman is now the only guitarist in the band. That has led, in my opinion, to much more interesting guitar parts that need not only to sound cool but fill up space too, which is helped by Eugene's phenomenal bass lines. Perhaps none of this makes any sense and they've just decided to change their sound for sake of experimentation, but in any case this band is fucking great and there's no denying that

[Avoularo]

This is song is dope. This is how it's done. Personally I believe that JINJER is the top new metal band right now.

[xanderraymondcharles]

so stoked for Jinjer. They've finally got the recognition they deserve. Been a fan for years and it's awesome to see them reach new heights

[JD]

This and Teacher, Teacher are their best compositions. Micro is their highest achievement to date as musicians IMO. Micro is progressive metal gold. Up their with Ghost Reveries (Opeth), Magma (Gojira), Leviathan (Mastodon), Sound Awake (Karnivool), Tesseract, Contortionist, etc... real prog musicians will appreciate this song and album just the same as above and honestly... Vlad's drum work is absolutely legendary on this song. Come on peeps - how can you not go bonkers as a drummer listening to this? THIS IS MASTERFUL

[kannonmcafee]

Jinjer is creating a new kind of progressive groove. Come to the states and tour longer, please!

[SlowCyde]

In every video she looks like a different person.

[thehumanslug]

her voice, her whole look and the way she moves...just wow

[mickh]

it's actually crazy how much I've been into metal bands with female vocals lately. So many awesome bands out there, Butcher Babies, In This Moment, Spiritbox, Otep, etc... come back to Jinjer every time, and blows me away how absolutely talented Tatiana is.

[apollofan]

I swear, if it weren't Jinjer, I would never get interested in metal. This song is gorgeous and it gives me such a different energy. DAMN.

[RockMCLarry]

Came across them a while back and did a radio internship at my university this summer. I made sure Jinjer got airplay over the past year in #Texas

[BeefBamBam]

When I first listened to the song, I liked it, but wasn't blown away by it. After about ten listens however I love it, it's a definite grower.

[hemlock]

This crazy song has 8 highly distinct movements in less than 3 1/2 minutes. I call it "heavy jazz", especially the first movement, which I didn't like at first. The song is now one of my all-time faves.
The transitions are just insanely good, & I especially enjoy the transitions from 6 to 7 & 7 to 8. Section 7, with its bluesy vocal lines & open instrumental feel coming right off of a blast beat, is my very favourite...but it's important to realize that part of the reason it's so satisfying to listen to is its position within the song.
What masterful a work of art.

"Ape" Movements:

1. The Beginning of All Beginnings (begins 0:07).
2. Voracious Ape Who Walks Upright (begins 1:01).
3. He Who Calls Himself Intelligent (begins 1:15).
4. I Made a Mistake When I Created You (begins 1:33).
5. Oh Here You Go (begins 1:43).
6. Blast (begins 2:09).
7. Just the Mention of Your Name (begins 2:22).
8. Bloodthirsty Ape Who Walks Upright (begins 2:52).

[TragcVision]

2:53 genuinely gave me goosebumps. Damn this is good.

[krisdaschwab]

This is nuts. Jinjer keeps getting better.

[spearson]

This is revolutionary. They've created their own genre and its incredible

[gtkall]

For me, the most interesting thing about the song is the lyrics and how well they are tied up with the music. The whole song goes back and forth between two primal stances / feelings: Awe and Belittlement, or, Wonderment and Disparagement, if you will.

The Creator both fears and mocks his creation, and the way the music flows between those two marks is simply astonishing!

After listening to this song for more than 10 times, I still want to listen to it. I feel as I haven't unlocked all of its secrets yet... Mesmerizing...
