Truly think this album is an essential metalcore staple and an incredible style expansion for the band. Years later I only love this album more and more
They've become pretty divisive in the genre because of that expansion in style continuing with Obsidian (that one was a bit of example of the trope known as a 'Base Breaker', I love it though) to the point that r/metalcore mods were discussing if they should even be allowed to be posted on there any more, along with bands like Bad Omens and Sleep Token. It's very 'old man yells at cloud' imo and I think it's the fact that these acts have a large crossover appeal, pulling in new people to the world of metalcore that otherwise wouldn't have thought to check it out, and finding that they really like it. And...I agree to an extent, insofar as these aren't pure metalcore, this is now crossing into an era of 'post-metalcore', but I for one am really excited to see where it goes. I think the reddit mods just want to be gatekeepers and act like if you became a metalcore fan because of a chance sighting of something on Tiktok, you're not a 'real' fan you're a tourist
@@Uselessmineral I can see what you're trying to say, but you're quite wrong. Enter Shikari while having a quite shitty production - influenced genre peekers like Asking Alexandria and maybe Attack Attack into making electronicore albums - so lately I See Stars could come out with their masterpiece Treehouse in 2016. But Northlane has nothing to do with ES. It's a whole new genre - it's not electronicore, it's technocore - technometal if u wanna. After Bloodline came out - my hopes for the album were pretty low. But goddamn... It's something I truly never heard and never quite expected.What they achieved It's incredible and the only thing I can say it's that I'm sorry that modern metal is dying because of fucking elitist boomers who are stuck in the 80s. Albums like this deserve much more praise and clout than they're getting - not to mention how braindead were NL fans for bashing Marcus when he joined the band. Adrian and Marcus are nowhere near - and damn - I like talking about this stuff lmao.
Jesus fuck, I can't explain this to people who don't listen to this type of music, but the chorus makes me so euphoric. It's crazy to me that so many people will not have that experience while listening to this song
Everyone has their own experience. I find myself wanting other people to feel what I feel from songs. I badly want them to. But people all feel things in their own and unique way. Even while being similar, they are different from one degree to another. I honestly wish I could experience how you have felt this song, and others, from your shoes, and you mine.
It's 2024 and I'm listening to this song and band for the first time. I can say that I now officially love this band and this song is literally on repeat mode.
But, Enter Shikari WAS like this. Only that Northlane has...well...more talented musicians. Not to disrespect Shikari because i absolutely love them but facts are facts.
I feel like the song explains what its like have played the hurtful and the hurt role in their lives, “i know what its like to ruin someone’s life because I’ve had my own ruined” type of feels
Say what you want about this album, but northlane stands OUT! No other band in the scene has this sound. Alien is one of the most addicting metal albums I’ve listened to. The songs get caught in your head after one listen. The melodic ones like Jinn, Freefall, and sleepless are just gorgeous masterpieces while the rest of the tracks have their own style that separates themselves from the other songs. None of the songs sound the same and that’s something I love. This is easily one of the best albums released this year.
Pure nostalgia, this album reminds me of the early years of Static-X. Wisconsin Death Trip & Shadow Zone. Love the experimentation by Northlane, they did a phenomenal job.
I just want to speak for a second. When this pandemic started I was kind in a bad state of mind. This was also around the time I discovered Northlane, and I realised how much I fucking adore this record. One evening, I was having trouble sleeping, so I went for a walk around town at about 3am with this album playing. I live in a very urban town and with it being the beginning of the pandemic, everyone else was asleep and the streets were dead empty. It was just me, Northlane and the town to myself. Thank you for this album Northlane, it's already gotten me through some rough hours and with hopefully help me with my rough hours for years to come.
How did the lyrics of this song actually mean anything to you? Do tell...because I can't make any sense from them...The music is a cooler version of Linkin Park....but these lyrics are just nonsense.
I had the utmost pleasure of watching this all unfold live at their 10year anniversary show in Sydney. These guys are amazing on stage and in the studio, cant wait to see them next year for the 4D tour
The emotion, the aggression, the perfect blend of instruments and electronics, this band is on another level. After more than 20 years of listening to metal this is so refreshing.
If this is the best track...my homework is done. Sounds like Linkin Park if they had a guy in the band who liked drum and bass...and the lyrics? Do tell me what the hell he is talking about? I have read them a few times now...and all I can think is refrigerator magnets.
@@xzysyndrome Are u illiterate or something? It's insanely on the nose about being from an abusive household and having survivors guilt after succeeding regardless... the title 4D refers to the fourth dimension of time, essentially referencing the fact that Marcus is talking to his past self. This is legit freshman level literary analysis, like it doesn't get easier than this.
@@loxi9 Yes. I am illiterate. Well done. Of all the insults you could have proffered...illiteracy was the one you picked. Clearly, I am illiterate. I can neither read or write...I don't even know how I read your comment...much less how I am responding...being illiterate and all. That ridiculousness aside...I suppose my initial "refrigerator magnets" comment was a bit like your "illiterate" insult...An offhand hyperbole meant to simply illustrate dislike. I know the lyrics were not "refrigerator Magnets"...but the effort in writing them seems equivalent. Bad insult is bad...let me better say what I meant: I find the lyrics absolutely freshman...and by Freshman I mean high school Freshman. It certainly does not get easier...outside of Dick and Jane novels. Each to their own I guess. Tinker Toy lyrics. I guess that is ultimately what I should have said. "This music is Linkin Park with Drum and Bass...and the lyrics suck unless maybe you are 13 or something." There is poetry for children...and there is poetry for Adults. This is poetry for children....with Drum and Bass Linkin Park.
@@matthewwalsh7529 their last 3 albums are dramatically different though, i didn't like the last one they released but hunting party and living things were really good
This has to be one of my absolute favorite songs in recent years. Northlane absolutely kills it and they've quickly risen to become one of my favorite bands as well.
I don't know why, but it's like this song takes me back to 2006. I think that the harmony of the song gives me the feeling of the afternoons of that time. It's strange, but I feel happy.
Steyn dude same. Also diamond construct, Gideon, miw, cte, and crystal lake all came out with banger albums. For me I think thornhill, hail Stan, then alien maybe switch alien to 2 but nothing can top where we go when we die with that outro.
Thank you for existing Northlane, thank you for helping me in this rough times, whenever i feel overwhelmed by online classes, i listen to songs like this and i feel not too bad anymore :D
Holy fuck. Thank you northlane for this song. Before xmas lost my love of my life, my job, my dog, my car fuckin everything. This song is just a right amount of good vibes and aggression. Amazing lyrics too. Thank you. Seriously. You guys are true artists. 🤘🤘✌❤

The chorus gives me that closed eyes and goosebumps vibe 😌

So true 😏
Absolutely!

It's the perfect mix.
it's not dnb tempo

Go Elon!...
I think the same shit omg
Can i ride with u?
It's 2024 and I'm listening to this song and band for the first time. I can say that I now officially love this band and this song is literally on repeat mode.

Hybrid Theory 2077
haha good remark
The drum pattern and chords are very Faint
Nah thats Erase the pain from palisades
@@nicholasdonin1465 No. Thats not even close to Hybrid Theory or Reanimation.
Was totally calling them the modern day LP for a long time, glad to see Im not the only one haha
Northlane has kind of become what I always wanted Enter Shikari to be when I was younger. Heavier and with more sick electronic sounds. I love this!
The mindsweep is fairly similar in sound to alien imo
But, Enter Shikari WAS like this. Only that Northlane has...well...more talented musicians. Not to disrespect Shikari because i absolutely love them but facts are facts.

And now they’re total ass
@@KrugerGesagt they're not lol, new album is amazing
For some reason, this has always been a song I skip over since it’s. But today for some reason, it’s been on repeat. I finally understand.
Hearing Djent mixed with Drum and Bass really makes me miss Pendulum
:(
They came back!
@@wavyjones96 I heard Rob swire has some new stuff to record with the band, I just want them to actually do it already
Same man! I really wanna see them live! Huge shows they give

Marcus' cleans is what I need in my life. He's too good.
Northlane would be a perfect fit on Cyberpunk's soundtrack
pre release comment , now we know that Northlane is way to epic for this.
@@dynatwenty Northlane doesn’t deserve to be on such a flop of a game, don’t wanna associate gold with pennies

Paying homage
You got it right, sir!
Ill be blasting this shit once cyperpunk comes out lol
Yooo I think the same. Amazing track 🤘
Marcus has brought this group on so much. Everyone has so much of meaning in the band. No egos at all.
This album hits a spot that hasent been hit since the first time i heard Meteora when i was a kid.
Самая лучшая песня!
Это что то совсем новое и неземное!
Так держать ребят)
On their Alien tour in Adelaide they messed up the start of this song and had to stop. Marcus then said "This next song is called 5D" :D
As we evolve in life, Northlane evolves with me.
Always makes me think of that Titan A.E. Movie. I love this!
You getting those future industrial vibes 🤘🤘
Who's listening to get through covid-19 lockdown ?
Big love from Melbourne, stay safe everyone x
I've not heard anything like this before. It's music I never knew I needed
This has to be one of my absolute favorite songs in recent years. Northlane absolutely kills it and they've quickly risen to become one of my favorite bands as well.
The best NORTHLANE album. Ever. Period. Fi-Ya!!!!!!!!!
Whole album is masterpiece, this song is rad, marcus is crazy good
The Matrix needs a remake and this needs to be the theme song.

A remake? Seriously fuck off

One of the greatest songs ever written lyrically n Musically
Woooooo those drums!
90s vibe sick ass drum n bass the prodigy shit ❤
careful someone's gonna come BPM-police you for that comment
rufus du sol plus linkin park plus northlane = 4D . Not unnecessary screaming, so fresh and nostalig at the same time, amazing! 4D
Thank you Northlane...you've touched my soul
I was bornt in 1984 so I grew up with _nu-metal_ and this band did an excellent job at capturing that sound and enhancing it with this new album.
I really love what Jon is doing here with the pads
Northlane Rocks saw them live for the first time in Charolette NC this year with Windwaker, Thornhill and Invent Animate.
Most genuine piece of art this album is. Album of the year for sure
Album of the year is very hard to decide for me between Alien, The Dark Pool (Thornnill) and HAIL STAN (Periphery).
Steyn dude same. Also diamond construct, Gideon, miw, cte, and crystal lake all came out with banger albums. For me I think thornhill, hail Stan, then alien maybe switch alien to 2 but nothing can top where we go when we die with that outro.
One of the most underrated bands I’ve ever heard.
Agreed
One of, but I'd say _We Are Band Nerds_ are far more underrated.
One of the best albums this year 🙌🏼
Thank you for existing Northlane, thank you for helping me in this rough times, whenever i feel overwhelmed by online classes, i listen to songs like this and i feel not too bad anymore :D

Awesome. This band has really evolved. Top notch.
Guys, you are the soundtrack to my life
That middle part of the song... 🔥❤

This blew me away, the music is great and the video is fantastic as well.
Listened to this song like 100 times and now a video comes out, perfect.
anyone else get LP Faint vibes?? soooo goooooooooooddddd
I simply can't stop listening this song - on headphones, in car, etc. Awesome song and awesome album! Ty guys!
This song has one of the best breakdowns i ever heard
definitely this is the best song of the album
Mother of God..what an incredible song 😳 gives the chills...
This song is... Why I don't want to die... I want to listen it, again and again, and again again.
This song deserves more attention that it has
I've been listening to 4-D, but my favorite track on Alien is Jinn.
The Last Day Breathing In Eternal Snow Totally agree with you. Jinn is other thing
That baseline at the end is dirtier than my toilet after a vindaloo. It gives me a skin erection.
Likewise mate!
Jinn goes freaking hard. My favorite too.
drummerAVA It's a beautiful song to.
Amazing! I love how this video encapsulates the atmosphere of the song. Much Love, from South Africa.
Okay,it's December and now I really sure... This guys new album is my #1 at this year !!!
Impeccable song. Has a little bit of drum and base to it.
I’m simply speechless. I’m addicted to this song! 🖤🔥
This album is such a banger
The beauty of honesty leaves me dumbfounded
favorite era of northlane
BEAUTIFUL
By far my favorite song on the album and well by Northlane period. Freefall and Dream Awake come close.
should have so many more views. great album
Marcus is such a talented singer 🖤🔥
Just found this while listening to this album (and Northlane) for the first time. This is so dope. I love the supersaws and drum and bass influence.
Such a beautiful and emotional song. This really turned me on to Northlane.
Freaking epic clip, top job done by Neal!! Suited the song perfectly!
beautiful piece of art, not just the single song but the whole album.
what and amazing sound, beautiful and strong, so fresh, gosh this is the music to enjoy.
3:37 The sight of the best guitarist in the world right now. Oh man, i understand you so much through your music
😂
So sad I didn't go to the show here in SLC a few months ago. Stoked for when they come back through!
Blud should have been the new singer for linkin park. Have always felt he was Chester’s replacement.
You guys are amazing
Man jon has really become a character over the years.
I'm not usually one for this kinda music, but this was a nice mix to chill out to :D Dope stuff
Best song of the album for sure.
Great sound.
I love you northlane
I can't get enough of the new album.
Holy fuck. Thank you northlane for this song. Before xmas lost my love of my life, my job, my dog, my car fuckin everything. This song is just a right amount of good vibes and aggression. Amazing lyrics too. Thank you. Seriously. You guys are true artists. 🤘🤘✌❤
