Good review. What makes TW special is their ability to balance multiple genres seamlessly and make them their own. Which is why I like watching people's reactions to their music. Someone will hear a MUSE influence while someone will state that it's clearly Queens of the Stone Age for the same song. They infuse metal, grunge, punk, alt, classic, etc. I've seen people even directly draw parallels between TW and Queen while also pointing out riffs that are Pantera ish. They do all this while providing very memorable and catchy choruses (that as you will soon find out) stay stuck with you one after another after another. Then you start doing a deep dive into their lyrics and discover how great and insightful they are. Yet they manage to make those same lyrics memorable and catchy. Then you will start to notice individual instrument components. The nuances and layers they provide aren't as basic as once believed, yet they do all of this while singing... all of them. Imo (and that of others) they are the perfect band to bring back rock into the mainstream once again. A perfect balance of mainstream catchy music yet still providing enough grit for the more metal or non-mainstream rock fans. They are the band of the future, today.

The Warning ladies are very-highly-trained vocalists, and they've employed a vocal coach to help them improve and maintain vocal health and quality, especially while on long, grueling and physically-taxing tours.

My favourite track from this album vacillates between "Vortex", "Dead Hands Feel No Pain", "As I Boil Ice" and "Mediator". It's usually "As I Boil Ice" because of the jazzy and swing sections and the *gorgeous* vocals in the soft parts.

I very much look forward to your reactions to King of Everything and Dark Side of the Moon. I'd certainly be down for a reaction to *any* Jinjer album. For that matter, I'd be down for a reaction to *any* album by Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Opeth, Deep Purple, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin...and many others that aren't springing to mind. Cheers!

Disclosure is one of those songs where you get to see what happens when someone truly pisses Tatiana off. Her presence on stage and the harsh vocals belie how she normally is off stage. You often see reactors say "I wouldn't want to piss her off" when in reality fans know she's shy and gentle. It is possible to catch her wrath though and the Ukrainian interviewer certainly did. On the video of the collaboration she did with Spiritbox one of those especially nationalist Ukrainians tore her down a little in the comment section in a similar way. These people expect anyone in Ukraine to see the country and their struggles the same way they do. All the members of Jinjer grew up starting as ethnic Russian Soviet citizens and while they were still very young woke up one day and were Ukrainian citizens. Whenever that happens to people the adults are either okay with it or they aren't but the young people are confused and conflicted if they have friends and/or family on both sides. Over time culminating in the recent full scale invasion of Ukraine they changed their views on their national identity and allegiance in favor of Ukraine but the interviewer who was the subject of Disclosure insisted on making them answer for things they had to say about it when they were in their early 20s. I don't know if anyone has suggested other collaborations Tatiana has done but given you liking the heavier stuff you might check out the collab she did with Decapitated called "Hello Death" very good song and she hits a note in that that could break glass.

Love that you dig it, this is my album of the year. I love how every song takes me back to an era that I loved. Feels nice to hear these sounds again! ‘Nothing’ is my songgg🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

This album is actually good ngl

Great review of the album

Side note: Colossus is about Russia or more accurately Russian Empire. The band members often are accused of being Russian sympathisers (they all are from Russian folks in Ukraine except Vlad) by the Ukranian nationalists. Their mother tongue is Russian, Ukranian is second. In fact, they fleed from the Russian occupied zone and chose Ukranian side. they hate equally fascist Ukranians (Disclosure is about them) and Russian tirany or nationalism as far as i understand. New single Rogue is another example, same vibe with Colossus.

"As I Boil Ice" is also one of my favorites. I have been lucky enough to experience all of these Wallflowers songs live over the last 3 years of them touring, except for "Pearls And Swine" which they never included in their setlist so far, unfortunately, just seen some footage of them playing it during rehearsals. Also you might want to check out the drum playthrough of Mediator by Vlad, shot from the stage during a show, it is great.

Do Soundgarden's albums

There are some lyrics insight on the site 'genius', supposedly words from Tatiana herself. About 'Sleep of the Righteous' for instance: "This one is my favourite. The song is about my first experience of sleep paralysis. On some level of your sleep, your mind wakes up, but your body is still asleep. You experience this feeling of absolute helplessness, and you can see a lot of hallucinations. It’s a very terrifying thing to feel in the middle of the night. When I first experienced it, I thought there was an evil force coming to my room and pressing me against the bed."

Looking back, it took me about 20 listens before i could fully appreciated only about 90% of the album. I'm still picking up and appreciating little things. Sign of a great album that. (or how slow I am 😊)

i constantly go band-and-forth between this and Macro as my favorite ... completely depends on recency bias. the OMV for _Disclosure_ is a lot of fun, and it's a toss-up between that and _Vortex_ for fav on the album (though i love every song on there) real Faith No More fans know that _King for a Day ...._ is really where it's at. i'd put _Angel Dust_ at #3 (just behind _The Real Thing_ )

The music video to Mediator is good

Wallflowers is my favorite album at the moment, although I don't have any Jinjer albums that I don't like :)

Indeed, Faith No More Angel Dust, Soundgarden Badmotorfinger, and Infected Rain Time are the ones I would love to having you sharing your experience with us.

Wallflowers has been Jinjer's most delicate, intense work music and production wise so far imo. It became my most listened album, left Macro behind in time. Another suprising side of this album is that the rest of the songs are good as the singles released. For instance, Colosssus, Copycat, Pearls and Swine and As I Boil Ice are at the top with Vortex for me. I think my only complain is song order. Tracks 6,7,8,9,10 all are mid or slow tempo songs one after another.
