The Sound of Animals Fighting are an experimental/prog rock band that incorporated many members, including members from bands such as Finch, Rx Bandits, Circa Survive and Chiodos. The group was brought together by Rich Balling.
All parts of the album Tiger and the Duke were recorded individually and each member was only able to hear the part they contributed to the album. The only member who heard the whole album during its recording process was Balling. The group released their next album Lover, the Lord Has Left Us… on May 30th, 2006.
Keith Goodwin was announced as one of the vocalists for the next album, taking on the pseudonym of ‘The Penguin’.
The Sound of Animals Fighting have only performed live four times, all of which were released on a DVD, entitled “We Must Become The Change We Want To See”. Three of their four shows took place in California (Anaheim, L.A., and San Diego), USA, and one in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
With the release of The Ocean And The Sun, the band issued a series of 400 masks, 100 of each of 4 designs, paired with a 7” for a limited preorder of the album. This was the first and only vinyl release and novelty item sold by the band.
Original Lineup(Tiger And The Duke):
The Nightingale - Rich Balling (Vocals), formerly of the Rx Bandits.
The Walrus - Matt Embree (Lead Guitar), Lead Vocals/Guitar for Rx Bandits.
The Lynx - Chris Tsagakis (Drums), Drums for Rx Bandits.
The Tiger - Randy “R2K” Strohmeyer (Guitar), Guitar for Finch.

Agreed, Lover... has a certain amount of whimsy that the other albums really lack.

tl;dr version: Lover, The Lord Has Left Us... was a good album.

Lover wasn't to random at all, it's just one of the albums that you have to be in the right 'mood' for. I enjoy Lover... when I'm in the mood for it. And it's really good when you consider it as a standalone (say TSOAF hadn't released Tiger & Duke or the Ocean and the Sun.) Of course it's going to seem 'worse' when it's compared to the other two, because the other two were just absolutely beautiful and the songs had a better flow.

I agree with shit_outta_luck. I didn't enjoy Lover as much as the other albums, it just didn't sit right with me. They did a little to much experimentation with it and I wasn't a big fan of some of the randomness of it. The Tiger and The Duke was absolutely amazing and The Ocean and the Sun was almost just as good. However, the best thing they released was their live DVD, I enjoyed it all except for the song where they included Keith Goodwin. I just think his voice didn't fit the song he was in.

It's the top track because it's a free download. People download it and listen to it. It's a really bad representation of TSOAF though, so I'm disappointed.

@omgkelly and smarthomas, try listening to them a little more. The more you listen to the music, especially in Lover and The Ocean and the Sun, the more you notice little subtle things that really surprise you. This band was incredibly talented, intelligent, and beautiful

A bunch of well talented dudes coming together to make beautiful music. Not for the money or fame. But to create something nice for once, something original. Great stuff.

As much as I want to believe in that assessment, DropLucy, most (if not all) musical artists are in this for the money. Bands that don't make money usually find their end soon enough, so it's hardly fair to say that music is only a craft and not a business.

I think Lover is a pretty bad album... the others are awesum

It's not a band, it's a movement. they did what they aimed to do- show the listeners that music wasn't intended to be prostituted the way it is. Music is a craft not a business, and shouldn't be limited to what the western society constitutes as "music". Thank you TSOAF

I want to agree with you, mannequin777, but The Ocean and the Sun changed my life musically. That is my favorite album of all time
