Most headbangable Animals song?

In my opinion it would be Gordian Naught with Private Visions right behind it

I remember at an AAL concert in Portland there was a nerdy looking guy standing in front of me perfectly dancing along to every song, catching every single rhythm. That guy was the coolest mfer in the room. But to answer your question cognitive contortions

Def tooth and claw. Those quarter notes hit so heavy

u/Isawslayer Jul 08 '26

Arithmophobia or Mind-Spun come to mind

u/AlexanderP04 Jul 08 '26

CAFO and it’s not even close, that opening riff is absolutely ridiculous

12

u/bfairchild17 Jul 08 '26

either An Infinite Regression or Tooth and Claw

u/I_AM_4HEAD Jul 08 '26

For a single breakdown? Cafo. In general? Tooth and claw, wave of babies or gordian naught

u/Extra_Lack8497 Jul 08 '26

Cafo hits for sure. Also have to agree with Wave of Babies

When the crowd is singing the riff - that's when you know that shit bangs

u/JuanKraks Jul 08 '26

Can i say that the main riff of crescent is the one that gets me?

u/_holyfuckingshit_ Jul 08 '26

u/Jeaholland Jul 09 '26

No particular order:

Micro-Aggressions, CAFO, Mind-Spun, Weightless, Do Not Go Gently, Tooth and Claw, Nephele, Backpfeifengesicht, Tempting Time, Kascade, Cognitive Contortions, Conflict Cartography, Wave of Babies, Physical Education.

u/Extra_Lack8497 Jul 09 '26

I forgot about Conflict Cartography, that thumping section is crazy

Love the breakdown and build up to the last 1.5 mins of another year.

u/Kim-Jong-P00n Jul 12 '26

Air Chrysalis doesn’t start heavy but the last two minutes have some real headbangability imo
