![FINALLY A Veil Of Maya Fan! | [m]other Album Reaction! (Highlights)](/img/tr.png)
the intro of [re]connect gives me such strong dance gavin dance vibes it's insane
Same, even the chords Marc uses remind me of them
I had Intervals vibe at first, but I can see the DGD vibe too
he had toured with DGD at one point as a replacement guitarist, so it only makes sense that his time there would impact the music VoM produced after
@hithere-haveagreatday7609 I keep telling people I get heavy Intervals vibes from this riff/section. (Fucking love Intervals)
I was thinking more Afterimage but yeah some DGD too
Loved the album, definitely was worth the long wait. And I like this new "chapter". Heavy, trying new things, but still staying to themselves.
@@sarcasm4371 This isn't returning to roots.
This album is so unbelievably fun to listen to.
Love love love this album. The mix between old and new with new elements, really hit it for me. This band is on a different planet in my eyes. Thank you for the review.
thank you for watching!
Yes.
This album was fun and heavy. Loved every track especially toyko chainsaw and reconnect.
Loved your reaction to the album! Favourites are Disco Kill Party, Red Fur and [re]connect! ❤💥
alot of people hating but i love it!
who tf hating it? 😂
Didnt see anyone hating it
Love the album, and I think I just might fall into addiction with those cleans
When the first second of Lost Creator started, I thought I accidentally played Mikasa somewhere LOL
It felt shorter to me than it is, and I personally think one more track like Outrun would've been nice!
Wishing the album with Members Only and Outsider didn't get scrapped. That was the reason for the delay. I believe an entire album was recorded with Taylor Larson who recorded Matriarch but it got shelved over disagreements and the band didn't seem to indicate those sessions went well
Amazing album from start to finish! 🤘🏻🔥
I loved your facial expression at 26:16 in response to that little riff fill. It's perfectly unexpected and weird, but it works really well for some reason.
VoM putting a "Breakdown Warning" ⚠️ is so metal dude!
Also, Lost Creator is the best of old and new! Probably my favorite track being a fan since the beginning.
I enjoy this album so much. It is heavy and fun, disgusting and uplifting, technical and groovy. The synthy and clean parts are catchy. The skill is insane. Sick as fuck record, imo. Been a casual listener since ID. Never had a massive obsession with the band until this record. Will be returning to previous records because of it.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thanks for reacting to this album, I love it SO much! All the melodies, chugs, BREAKDOWNS 🤣 just so good
Loved this [re]connect Artificial Dose and Disco Kill Party where my favorites off the album great reaction as always!
thank you for being the only channel on here with a FULL album reaction and not cutting around all the good sections
My favorite band 😍🤘🏼
The chunks and the synths are my actual draw, but overall this is my favorite album this year. I'm sure it will be up there with Sleep Token though.
Probably my favorite of the year so far
I love the album. I did feel the last three songs all being heavy with no cleans maybe could of been spaced out a little better… but really, no real complaints here. Perfect album.
Also reconnect is the best song of the year so far hands down
Absolutely agree, wife and I listened to this album separately due to our work schedules. We then counted to 3 and said our favorite track on the record and we both said [re]connect
The face at 9:53. That's face flatteningly heavy.
Half the fans wanted ID 2.0
Half the fans wanted Matriarch 2.0
Veil of Maya gives us neither.
I can respect it. Great album. Great reaction!
They really need to capitalise more on those big open choruses. The djenty displaced grooves with lots of 1s and 0s get old after a while. Lukas has a really beautiful clean voice.
I hear you on the 1s and 0s, however, Marc Okubo has such a signature style with that. Like, when you hear it, you know instantly "that's Marc Okubo", I'm here for it. All of it.
@@sarcasm4371 yeah I’m a fan of older VoM and I have to agree, the forced choruses every song gets tired quicker than the different guitar rhythms
Curious comment. They are part of the djent movement for over ten years. Those polymeter/polyrhythm grooves are a fundamental part of their sound, and they take it to a crazy level this record. I love it. The riffs on this record are sick as fuck. Such an accomplishment.
@Empty Cloud They do, but honestly, as a genre, it's just not as flexible. It gets old fast.
@@gSWG3R that is fair enough. Your perspective reflects where you are as a listener. Which is great. Hope you find the style of metal you crave 🤘
Recently, my obsession has been Animals as Leaders - Parrhesia. Mostly because of the jazz fusion that has been applied to their blend of modern progressive metal.
However, I absolutely love the djent approach to groove, have done for over 13 years; longer if you include Meshuggah. I love technical and bouncy groove. Veil of Maya bring the goods this album. But, they have great choruses and synthy pop moments. Such a fun record when you are in the mood for it. ❤
Reconnect is so good
I kinda felt that they made the album to show everyone “Hey we can do all the sub genres of metal and still keep it Veil Of Maya”
The loath style chorus in [re]connect is heavenly
Lot of big albums this year so far: Death Below, Seventh Sun, Mother, Heavener, Death We Seek, Djent Is Not A Genre, whatever Fit For A King’s album is called.
Of all of them, this was what I was “least” excited for; this is my number 1 album out of all of them so far. Outsider is my personal favorite song of theirs, and despite having pretty much 0 songs on the album that have that sort of sound, I think Mother is incredible. I listened to it 10 times yesterday and my coworkers were not happy with me about it 😅
I think FFAK was last year but otherwise there has been some killer stuff! I listened to this record the same day that I recorded my video for the Sleep Token record that's coming out tomorrow and because of that, I have revisited this way less than I would've otherwise
Lukas Magyar
Ryan Kirby
Brian Wille
Top three vocalists in Metalcore
what music is in the intro of the video?
info is in the description of every vid, not a full song
lost creator got deathcore element on it... it's the common man collapse vibe... bruh they are still deathcore
Very poly rhythm/djent metal... it so much going on with Tokyo chainsaw of do well they play differently and sense of dance going on
I think it falls exactly in like with their last few albums just more synth integration. Also, emphasizing the 16ths duos and triplets trying to make the feel "jarring" was kind of overly repetitive. I think the album is great, but it's also just more of the same. I will say vocally, this was a huge upgrade. Some of the highs Lucas hit were excellent.
Also, Heavener isn't in my top 10. I know controversial take, but I cant get into the main/mid screams at all. The cleans are pretty great, but with half or more of the vocals being that tone of scream, I just cannot get behind it.
Just stop the head movements lol you can’t predict veil of maya’s dips and dives haha, so much aggressive techniques to this record I love it. They really pushed themselves on this one!
