This album has to be the best album in the last 10 years easy. It’s been a year and I still listen to it every time I’m in my car or any other time I get to listen to music. So freaking awesome
They are my age and I can't get past how insanely talented they are. Before hearing them my favorite band to listen to was Rush. You can't say you love pure music without respecting the sounds of either Rush or Greta. They're so wildly different but pure, complex, and intoxicating.
@@clemthegoat8034 Yeah, exactly, like a modern rush but with some other influences, I hear maybe some Journey, Styx, or even Toto in there (all huge compliments), but in a heavier, proggier version. They're definitely finding their own space and sound, way beyond being an LZ clone...
@@billholder1330 I have to agree, their first album, maybe a little of the second, definitely carried some zeppelin vibes, but the Battle at Garden’s Gate was so soulful and way different
They’ve already played this song live, search for Black Flag Exposition, it‘s a song they’ve been playing live but never recorded it, now they just changed the lyrics and the name, however, both are sick
@@pablofloresrubilar I am well aware this is Black Flag Exposition with new lyrics. It doesn't change my sentiment in the least. Thanks for your input.
Same here! I'm an old dude, I've been to hundreds of shows, but their show was the most fantastic, warm, overwhelming, upsetting show I've been to.. the best night of my life.
For a long time I've felt like GVF is a perfect fit to do the opening theme for a James Bond movie and this songs just cements my belief. Maybe that's what Josh meant when he said this album is "cinematic".
that song from the album feels like this is how the big bang would have sounded like if it was a music, it just burst and you take it at full force and feel blessed to have witnessed this
This song sold me this band is the next one to become legends no one has done leads like that in a long long time hot stuff pure fire this bands bootlegs will be sort after they got it Rock is not dead
Don't agree. Musical taste and preference do not neceserally indicate anything about the individual's musical knowledge. In fact, my music teacher listens to many types of music, with metal not being one he particularly likes. Still, the man knows his shit. Question, do you mean don't like their music? or just think they are bad as musicians? I could have gotten you wrong and mansplained a bit there, sorry if I did.
This is without a doubt their Freebird, there will obviously never be another Freebird but it was an awesome power ballad early on into an incredible long solo at the end
As a former corn fed SW Michigan native, I'm so proud of the boys. Their talent, humility during interviews and progress they're making defies their years. This album KICKS ASS!
Great choice. That took me on a musical journey. Felt like I was listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd on that solo. Just imagine how they will sound if they could get a full orchestra backing them. I’d fly to the moon to hear that!! Keep up the great work!
This is rarely mentioned that the being brothers, two being twins, have a special bond and musical ability that melds so well together. You here instances where twins have been separated at birth and if brought back together later in life. The find out they think and do a lot things similar sometimes exact. The similarities are good, but they all have each have an individual creativity that I believe comes easy to all of them, which just works and makes them unique. And Danny shouldn't be forgotten is like the fourth brother. There are no egos here that I see with any of them. A family will battle together!!
This is such a masterpiece. Wish you could see my reaction when I heard it the first time! The way I shrieked in excitement whenever Josh hit those high notes and the way I smiled when he comes back down and then the way I put my hand on my head when a riff or a solo kicks in. This album made me feel something I haven't felt in a long time. I love these guys so much! Thank you for this masterpiece GVF❤ Great Album from the boys
I love Greta Van Fleet. Have seen them 3 times live, and this song is on repeat. You’re so right. This album is one that you can just let play all the way through again and again. I listened to it for about 2-3 hours straight the other day while working. I recently found your channel and really enjoy watching you guys react. Great, positive energy. Looking forward to the other Greta reactions! Take care!
Rock is not dead 🤘 Long live Greta Van Fleet 🙌 This title is incredible it provides the WHAOU effect 👍 A pure masterpiece 👏 Can't wait to see them for their only date in France 2022🇫🇷
Hey guys, hope you get this as the reaction in 2 years old. Did you see that Jake has just won the poll for best guitar solo of the 21st century for this track. Amazing stuff he had the likes of Slash behind him to boot. ❤❤
We sure did see that and we mentioned it in one of our videos he's a great guitarist and will only get better. But to be in the same grouping as slash and some of the other greats is saying a lot.
This album is MAJESTIC !! I want to hear you guys do MORE !! So many good songs on this album. Built by Nations, is a stand out to me. But, very hard to pick a favorite. Love you guys, thanks for the music !! GVF is the shittttt !
Epic album. As a great fan I feel a little bit tired of other reactions that love to say that “they sound like LZ” I think they are inspired of as many artists are by someone or Band. You guys rock! Thanks!
Another Michigan native, NW area, love GVF. The more I listen to them the more I like them. The Weight of Dreams is an awesome track. Wouldn't cut one second of its 8 minutes.
I've had a rollercoaster of emotions listening to this album. They are amazing and definitely on of the best bands right now. I can't wait to see them in concert Dreams in Hold tour.
Love Josh of course, but Jake is really starting to catch my attention more and more and Sam and Danny as well... As the musicianship and tightness of the band when performing live, their ability to entertain is just becoming phenomenal, epic, mind blowing etc... better and better all the time. But even beyond all that what I'm really starting to catch is the power of the song writing: lyrics with real poetry behind them and meaning and power combined with just the right kind of melodies and riffs and baselines and drum beats and breakdowns and flights into psychedelic heights... ..... But I should stop myself before I get carried away : )
People say that they are like Led Zeppelin. I feel more connected to Greta van fleets music than any other bands. Josh has a high vocal range and the way they write makes you feel alive. It puts you in a trance and then when song it done you are mind blown ever single time. I love them so much #gretavanfleet
Great song! When a song is 8 minutes; and at no point feels redundant, you know it's something special. Between GVF, The Warning, and Liliac rock might have a chance of surviving.
Guys I feel like we are in the same age range, and I don’t know about you but I cannot get over how great this group is. Saw them live in Nashville Aug 6 and I don’t mind telling you it’s the best concert I’ve ever seen. I don’t say that lightly.
So nice to hear good reactions to GVF instead of videoes bashing this band. We've seen GVF twice in concert in Detroit and each show they killed it.. Love this band. Good reaction videos guys. Thank-you!!!
I’ve been a huge fan for over 3 years now and this band has been my life for just about that long. They played this song for about 2 years during their live shows first as a cover and then under the moniker Black Flag Exposition. Seeing you guys react to a song I’ve been obsessed with for so long, a song that I’ve heard undergo so many changes and finally flourish into their own masterpiece makes me so so happy. Like you said, nothing can touch this band.
I am on a spiritual rock-n-roll journey with this album. Every single song is great and each song has a unique dynamic; mystical, melodic and raw. I can't wait to hear what's next from them. I love you Greta Van Fleet! ❤
I was gonna request this but you beat me to it! I'm so glad you guys respect their talent as well most especially elder guys won't. They play the comparison game instead of just respecting the music. Rock on fellas!
It’s a trip that the mainstream critics hate them. Rolling Stones completely shit on this album. And it’s wild because so many people obviously love it
Take a Look at Rolling Stone best album of the year lists, it's mainly rap or some pop. They don't care about true musicians and really ambitious arrangements. But who cares what they think?😁
Rolling Stone has become a joke.They want to sell copies,therefore they'll endorse whomever the masses decide has "talent".Look back at who they've endorsed a few years ago. Millions of people can absolutely be wrong.In the long run,what truly stands the test of time matters.
They've been working on the foundation guitar solo for a while, jamming around that in concerts from a couple of years ago. I'm glad they finally built a song around it.
I will never forget when this album released. When to our local record shop right at opening to grab my copy. Went home, laid the needle down, and was just blown away by the progression musically and lyrically from the previous records. THEN TO CLOSE ON WEIGHT OF DREAMS!? Hearing that the first time, GOOSEBUMPS constantly. My man with the longer beard here, we air guitar the exact same way 😂😂 subscribed fellas!
Love you guys, your reactions are great. Great end to an album. Can't wait to hear more of your reactions. They have more live versions of the new album out now. Take a listen. Looking forward to your Fleet Friday's!! Great idea.
Hi Monk and Joker! I just subbed because I thought I'd already done so, but here nor there, I am now, hehe! Some of us fans in The Peaceful Army of Greta Van Fleet call Jake "Guitar Man" because he makes us girls cry with his beautiful solos. Together with his identical twin Josh's incredible voice, their younger brother Sam's skillful keys and bass, and Danny's killer drums, they are pretty much unstoppable. I agree, they're going to be around for a good while. You are in for a treat with the rest of the album too, can't wait for you to hear it! It demands to be listened to with a good pair of headphones, like you guys do, or on a good stereo cranked up 😏. Almost forgot...you guys are awesome!
“I feel he’s about to drop the solo”
You have no idea......😂
"He better drop it"
Jake: ok man
My dudes, Stardust Chords is the song you gotta hear, I promise.
Neh, Built By Nations
Yesss! The best song in all their discography
@@ralsea1287 lol hahaha, listen to the discography again
👍agree
They're all good af
That guitar solo made me smile from ear to ear. My soul was floating...
This album is cinematic and anthemic in its musical magnificence. This is as good as rock music gets. The entire album is, in a word, stunning!
This album has to be the best album in the last 10 years easy. It’s been a year and I still listen to it every time I’m in my car or any other time I get to listen to music. So freaking awesome
I can' t imagine this song and Broken Bells played live .... they'' ll take the half of the concert !! These guys are gems ❤
They have played this song live before and damn they did such a great job w it :,) it was called black flag exposition before I believe lmaoo
I've actually seen them play this song live before. It used to be called "Black Flag Exposition."
Greta released a candlelight session of broken bells yesterday!
can't agree more!
imagine themnplaying for over an hour. i think thats how it was when i saw them but that was in 2018 cant really remember llol
This is the best band on the planet right now. Can't wait to see them live.
The acoustic ending gives me chills every time
They are my age and I can't get past how insanely talented they are. Before hearing them my favorite band to listen to was Rush. You can't say you love pure music without respecting the sounds of either Rush or Greta. They're so wildly different but pure, complex, and intoxicating.
They actually sounded very Rush-esqe at times in this album! Love that comparison. They’re further from LZ now and have become more prog-rock tbh.
@@clemthegoat8034 ive always thought the singer sounds like a blend of Geddy Lee and Robert Plant
@@clemthegoat8034 Yeah, exactly, like a modern rush but with some other influences, I hear maybe some Journey, Styx, or even Toto in there (all huge compliments), but in a heavier, proggier version. They're definitely finding their own space and sound, way beyond being an LZ clone...
@@Teezzer13 More like Geddy x Freddie (Mercury) lately, the RP influence isn't as obvious any more....
@@billholder1330 I have to agree, their first album, maybe a little of the second, definitely carried some zeppelin vibes, but the Battle at Garden’s Gate was so soulful and way different
This will make a great 25 minute extended jam as an encore. Looking forward to live shows again! I agree no one touches them at this moment.
They’ve already played this song live, search for Black Flag Exposition, it‘s a song they’ve been playing live but never recorded it, now they just changed the lyrics and the name, however, both are sick
@@pablofloresrubilar I am well aware this is Black Flag Exposition with new lyrics. It doesn't change my sentiment in the least. Thanks for your input.
@@kbusby4824 check out the Atlanta version
Jake solo!!!, Van Halen and Hendrix clap his hands in the sky
So well put, friend!!!
Saw them live, everything they played was unreal, top 3 concert of all time for me. They put on a damn good show and sound better live.
Same here! I'm an old dude, I've been to hundreds of shows, but their show was the most fantastic, warm, overwhelming, upsetting show I've been to.. the best night of my life.
How unreal was that guitar solo live…I almost pissed myself 😂
For a long time I've felt like GVF is a perfect fit to do the opening theme for a James Bond movie and this songs just cements my belief. Maybe that's what Josh meant when he said this album is "cinematic".
definitely agree! the mood of a few of their songs would suit Bond. for me especially broken bells.
So great to hear they love it as much as I do
This album needs to win a Grammy just like From the Fires in 2019!
won’t happen, grammy’s are a biased crappy pop music festival
that song from the album feels like this is how the big bang would have sounded like if it was a music, it just burst and you take it at full force and feel blessed to have witnessed this
This song sold me this band is the next one to become legends no one has done leads like that in a long long time hot stuff pure fire this bands bootlegs will be sort after they got it
Rock is not dead
Jake totally and completely loses his mind here and I go with hm every single time I listen to it! And Josh.....the vocals! Outstanding in every way!
People who think GVF is a bad band know nothing about music.
Don't agree. Musical taste and preference do not neceserally indicate anything about the individual's musical knowledge. In fact, my music teacher listens to many types of music, with metal not being one he particularly likes. Still, the man knows his shit.
Question, do you mean don't like their music? or just think they are bad as musicians? I could have gotten you wrong and mansplained a bit there, sorry if I did.
@@mycatbitemeee6844 you can don t like it but still recognize they re freaking talented
This is without a doubt their Freebird, there will obviously never be another Freebird but it was an awesome power ballad early on into an incredible long solo at the end
The new gods saviors of music & rock
As a former corn fed SW Michigan native, I'm so proud of the boys. Their talent, humility during interviews and progress they're making defies their years. This album KICKS ASS!
Great choice. That took me on a musical journey. Felt like I was listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd on that solo. Just imagine how they will sound if they could get a full orchestra backing them. I’d fly to the moon to hear that!! Keep up the great work!
Would not complain if we got 8 more videos reacting to every other song on the album!
Yes!!! Agreed!!!

Epic album. As a great fan I feel a little bit tired of other reactions that love to say that “they sound like LZ” I think they are inspired of as many artists are by someone or Band. You guys rock! Thanks!
Thanks so much!
I am 75 yo. And I love this group. I usually don’t care for Rock. But these guys are killing me.
Another Michigan native, NW area, love GVF. The more I listen to them the more I like them. The Weight of Dreams is an awesome track. Wouldn't cut one second of its 8 minutes.
People forget..Led Zeppelin did a lot of covers! These boys are ripping up that playbook and are killer in concert!!!
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌
And what a way to close out a fantastic album from start to finish.
These lads are so young and growing with every album.
Watching you guys is exactly how I felt when I heard this. It’s cosmic!
This song is gonna be a half hour live!... can’t wait...
they are amazing
These guys are incredible ❤️. Very disciplined musicians.🤩. Every songs blows the mind . They are only getting better and better. WOW 🤯😳 just WOW❤️
can't wait for them to tour...
12:45 - 13:11 incredible part of solo
Jake really made that guitar cry
That’s insane. Whole song. Jesus.
I've had a rollercoaster of emotions listening to this album. They are amazing and definitely on of the best bands right now. I can't wait to see them in concert Dreams in Hold tour.
Do not give a fuhk what anyone says..... two words to describe this song: BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE
Watch them do it live ..Pinkpop 2022! AMAZING!!! This band is the best there is out there. Long live Rock!!!

Just waiting for the tour announcement to be there and witness that solo live.
How the hell does sound like this come from guys so young!!!!!! F’n amazing!!!!
Agree!
the weight of dreams, stardust chords, and broken bells are easily my favorites from this album
Gorgeous tapestries on this album, weaving the vocals and instruments into a crecendo of patterns that are breathtaking! Well done GVF🔥❤️🔥
You guys are right. I flipped out.
And been loving them ever sence. 🕊️
i know it was a guitar solo, but they put the drums way in the back to me and drums had some really good fills in there.
Listen to light me love. might be the most beautiful song I've ever hea d
I love this band so much weight of dreams was phenomenal
3:02, y'alls shared smile there, it says "dang, this might be good, these next 8 mins." :)
Great vid, thx guys!
12:31 - WE ALL FEEL THAT WAY THERE!!! :)
LOVE these guys SO MUCH!!!!! GVF...🥰🥰🥰🥰
Boys are amazing live!
Thanks guys. Yep, saving rock n roll . Absolutely!

Sublime. Lost in the hard hitting guitars, the drums and that voice.

You can’t hate this band, if you do you’re lying to yourself
We have had comments that people don't like them but we all know they are just missing out lol.
I’ve watched your reaction to this song a couple of times. You guys are some cool cats 🎸👍 🎸
Born in 1969. I’ve lived some great rock. These guys. Well. They give me hope for the future.
This one is my favourite off the album, along with tears of rain, the barbarians and stardust chords
So much Greta to get to I can’t wait
My favorite song on the album...and there's soooo many great one's on this album.
Cant wait til you start reviewing their next album.
Greta can save this gen
I did not immediately connect with WOD, but it has now hit me. It’s an anthem, a masterpiece, and a gift to us all…
Consider them stepped up a notch in my book.
