I loooove the calm but heavy mix in the outro I first heard it on their closure "permanent" for the "a tear in the fabric of life " Ep ,its so sick 🤘🏻

i don't think i've ever gone to a concert not anxious so i get it

DEMBOW beat ! not rgton

Poppy's joining Knocked Loose right? Right? RIGHT!?

On the lyrics. I have heard this album around 100 times now, I still only know the easier to understand lyrics😅. So basically a word here or there. But I feel like I could play the drum parts by now 😁. In the past, lyrics were the most important part for me. Nowadays I don´t even bother to read them anymore. The vocals are just like another instrument and I also don´t question which notes the guitarists and bassist are playing.

Ultraviolet is the best song since Constance.

had to comment after you said "i wanna see this shit live" I saw them last week of May and holy shit was it awesome. brought my cousin who had never been to a concert before... lol he said it was the best time he's ever had. the entire place was a mosh pit. gotta love Bryan man

26:21 because it is! Brain talked about that in an interview

Welcome back! It’s been a while!

Should give M.I.A and the wicked end a listen from city of evil album

Guilty pleasure of watching reaction channels, don't subscribe to many, but I did to yours 🙃

10:28 are we seriously doing this?

Why are these way overly dramatic singers a thing in metalcore now? Your dads are all laughing at you bc you’re all into heavier versions of freddie mercury with more makeup and less talent. Knocked loose is cool… more of that and less sleep token and falling in reverse. Cringe

"I feel like i've failed"

We saw them live almost a week ago. It was insane. They've refined their live sound so much. I heard later that there was a mosh pit on the upper balcony at the venue, which is kind of hilarious because it's basically just seats lol. "I never gave a fuck." Followed by the crunchy riff in Don't Reach for Me gets me every time. It's probably my favorite song and Blinding Faith. I think I recall in an interview with Isaac that they're like, layering the guitars in a way to create that "hell tone" they call it. It's so cool what we can do with technology now. I love this album so much. I want to see them live again. Also they're undeniably influenced a bit by Gojira. The pick scrapes, that outro of Sit and Mourn and the outro of The Calm that Keeps me Awake (Explosia like)

I can’t get enough of watching people react to this album. The two punch combo of take me home & slaughterhouse 2 is NASTY.

Greetings from Germany check out wbtbwb das album

This record is really good and your reaction was awesome keep up the great work and that’s cool you got to meet zelli

I hate religion as much as God does.

Definitely not a late upload

New sub here! Loved the video and your thoughts. Its wild to think how far theyve come in the short years. Her dance moves in UV reminded me of Belcarra and sparked that thought on how far theyve come as far as production wise and as performers, you love to see it.

album of the year with kamasi new album

This whole record is phenomenal but sit and mourn by god. Fuck it. this whole album not a skippable song. First listen I thought I liked laugh tracks more. No, this album takes Laugh tracks lunch money.

i'm IN LOVE with how the "dark" catches the lyricist at the end of the song in the middle of the "take me home" and then it's just the oppressive sounds of the guitar as if "dark" surrounds him cinematographic masterpiece

Their weakest release yet. In my opinion.

Also, gotta ask, the figure at the end of the shelf behind you, who is that? Reminds me of the Burned Man Joshua Graham from Fallout New Vegas

Also the end of Take me home makes me think specifically of The Chariot, and its well earned

The only comparable album is A Tear In The Fabric Of Life. So good

The witcher books in the background tho

Knocked Loose goes absolutely crazy live

Yeah, this is album of the year… easy👌🏼 Lyrics and tone is fantastic!

The St. Anger snare coming back around full circle in the best way is one of my favorite things ever

30:33 other favorite songs of mine that use that beat are "YDG" - Of Mice and Men & "Echoes" - Tides of Man. Idk what it is about that beat but its so FUCKIN hype

Sit & Mourn and Take Me Home are my 2 favorites on this album... but the whole album is a masterpiece in my opinion.

[Outro] "Why'd you leave?" "I feel like I'vе failed."

yeah that riff in Slaughterhouse 2 with Bryan’s vocals matching the run is incredible

yo great vid. Brian mentioned in the Downbeat Podcast that he lost a childhood friend to a drunk driver and i think alot of the lyric focus around the grief around that. also pretty much all of "A tear in the fabric of time" is about that

The ending to “The Calm That Keeps You Awake” is surprisingly what I listen to fall asleep 😴😤

I loved these reactions to this record so much, it felt so real =]

a7x foREVer

a7x live lbc reaction you will definitely like it

Cosmic is my absolute favourite, first time a song has made me tear up :)

last time matt screamed was "god hates us" From Nightmare

I got to watch Aveneged Sevenfold Live, they performed SO well, and it was amazing. I got to hear the stage, Nobody, Roman Sky, Blinded in Chains, Save Me, Hail to the King, Shepherd of Fire, Mattel, Bat country, Nightmare, Unholy Confessions, We love you, and Game Over i cant remember if Game oVer was llayed for sure but i remember the rest clear as day. It was Indianapolis where i got to dee them live, with PIT TICKETS. I actually moshed for We love you, Shelherd of Fire, and Afterlife. It was amazing. The vocals were killer and on point, the playing was spot on and they had it tuned perfectly. And the whole crowd SANG EVERYONE not one person i think didnt sing at least once and it was so good. I cant praise their live performances any higher, it was THAT good, although their chocie for Tourinf partners was odd Poppy was straight up wierd, Sullivan king was cool but not on the level of Avenged Sevenfold.

almost a year on and I still feel alone in liking the album. I felt it was a masterpiece from my own experience yet it feels like every single critic, casual fan or even self proclaimed A7X fans who dislike it or even hate it, rating it a 1/10 and such. I get that it's not a casual person's listen but surely critics and fans understand the purpose of the album and their discography.. only HTTK was one album that wasn't pushing boundaries from them at the time of release (from what I know). this album is so much better when you stop judging the uniqueness and think that literally every detail is intentional. longwinded rant 8 months after it was posted but thank you for this.

I love your take on the music...not just the sonic parts, but the engineering parts. You rock!

Love your thoughts on this album. Finally someone who see’s music the way I do! 😌

I believe Matt’s ego death trip was on Meo-DMT or Ayahuasca.

DMT I think, not MDMA

That was fun to watch, wish I made it to this video sooner. You've basically covered all the lyrical self-references, the only thing I'd like to add is that the topic of 'too close/too late' is present in every single song on the EP while others only appear occasionally (velvet sky, crimson key, thousand lifetimes, hourglass, etc). Another fun thing to note is the moment in the second pre-chorus in Ultraviolet where Courtney sings about seeing the shining of the reflection of the crimson key, and when she turns towards the camera we can see an open door to the right with a bright red light shining through it. The open door itself could also be a reference to Too Close/Too Late. Overall, Ultraviolet might be one of the most beautiful metal songs ever written, and there's so much going on in it, both musically and vocally. It sounds like there's a million vocal layers in the chorus, and coming up and recording all these parts must've taken a shitload of time lol Love this band so much ❤
