Noah (vocalist) did say from the start that this is the simplest (okay can't remember his exact word by quote) song he's ever made, but glad you finally reacted aha, I think you'd have enjoyed "Blood" more though
Here's the thing. They've been pretty beat up from being compared to BMTH. This is a clear departure from that, and thusly sets them uniquely apart from that comparison. I say well done and a solid step forward.
@@BurningBeard414 exactly, even this song feels like it could easily be featured on There is a hell... but since BMTH is one of my most favourite bands, I hardly see that as an issue
Blame that on warner music group scooping up a bunch of metal bands/record labels recently don't be surprised if more vids get taken down because warner really like to abuse copyright claims.
@@liambarrett2638 Yeah it's less heavy hitting then there last, but it was a smart move to spice things up a bit to mix there music up. They are a very young band which I'm grateful to listen, and a lot of young bands don't hit main stream that fast. I seen them live and there amazing.
Personally, i dig the style of bad omens. Their major problem is, however, that they're way too repetitive; some sections seems to be just copied and pasted into the next one, which is a shame, since they can be very creative (just listen to their self titled album). I just love it when a song evolves second after second, building up to a huge last chorus or breakdown, and i really think they have the ability to do that.
I'm tempted to download the album as mp3s rather than listening on Spotify, and then do some rearrangements to make each song shorter and remove excessive repetition.
I’ve found this simplicity to be heavier than many other modern songs; it’s aggressive, to the point, hard hitting, and thrashy. Just my personal feelings- as a drummer, I just find simpler-hard hitting shit to be more memorable and catchier
I love love love their song Mercy off this album. As well as Running In Circles. This album definitely appeals to a wider audience and matures their sound, I think it's a logical and nice evolution of their sound. Unfortunately with that, the appeal to certain fans gets lost. Luckily I didn't lose mine.
Definitely understand your focus in the chorus lol. It sounds like a pre chorus to something bigger. Very interesting way to organize the song for sure!
This band called Savage Hands just dropped a new album called "The Truth in Your Eyes". Maybe you've heard of this band already, but you should totally check out one of their new singles. Super good stuff.
Mercy is really Architects-y and Blood is almost as heavy as this one but quite a bit more creative and interesting. I originally hated the soft songs too, but they've REALLY grown on me the more I listened to them. Highly recommend spinning the album all the way through, but yeah it's not always for everyone.
Ben Hostetter yeah the entire album is a masterpiece tbh, at first I didn’t rly like the songs like If I’m There and Burning Out and stuff like that but they definitely grew on me and now it’s in my top 5 albums of all time cause of the variation in it
I haven't finished watching your review quite yet (i obvs am, i love hearing your takes on things) but I will say I feel that this record feels GREAT to jam as a whole. I'm honestly not too big on individual songs, though most do stand alone pretty well, they SHINE as a whole. It follows a concept that I still haven't FULLY figured out, but is cohesive throughout the whole record (even the cover of Come Undone they did for the deluxe edition fits really well with the story line Noah has set up) and further, feels like the opposite side of the conversation that comes up in the first record. I hope you take a 2nd look at the whole record and jam it as, what I feel anyways, it was meant to be: a whole piece taken in all at once because I genuinely feel that this record is worthy of defining my generation, according to spotify and I do not deny that at ALL!
@@returner6614 They are really good. Nik said in his last video he'd check them out. Really hoping he does a reaction. Been my favorite band for awhile now. I know he'll enjoy it.
bro this song plus the video could definitely be a movie. when i really look at it it feels like really evil. some monster in the pits ready to dethrone god. oh shit.
I heavily recommend Morose - Parasite. They're a new band that has so much potential in their sound and energy. They've got four songs right now, but you should definitely check them out. They need the exposure.
as a sucker for this album, i agree with your thoughts on this song. some egyptian melodies would have been the perfect touch to a dark and heavy song. also, everyone really likes mercy and think thats their best, but i personally favor kingdom of cards.
Top 10 albums of 2019 by far in my opinion. Lots of variation in music, vocals, and very good orchestration. Some people find it generic, I think its awesome.
I dont know if you have seen it already, but Viscaya - Forever Wasn't Enough is a pretty good song. And I found them by a UA-cam ad. At least those ads were good for something.
People who say this song is repetitive don’t know music... you wanna know why it sounds repetitive? It’s because the chorus... you know, that thing that is in every song!? The only difference is this is a memorable chorus... it doesn’t just blend in the background of the rest of the song!!! Bloody good track!!!
*It heavy*
I agree
Nik Nocturnal can you please do Lorna Shore - king ov deception plzz it’s really heavy
What else is heavy try reacting to TERRORBYTE Decepticon now that is bad ass heavy
React to any of the new Lorna shore it's amazing
Can I get 9 subscribers?
Nik is definitely the type of person to go to a show and stand in front of the crowd and focus on the playing and technique.
DingirGH that’s exactly what I do when I go to a show lol
Yeah, my friends always tell I should do slam and shit, but I just love listen to the band perform
DingirGH And after, he's like... Ok ok. Not bad.
You can't even get near the front without getting trampled. If you're going to watch in detail, you have to do it from a distance.
My girlfriend gets mad at me cuz I tell her when someone's technique is shit
This song is built to be 3 minutes of pure anger. Anger isn’t complex and neither is this song. And that’s why it works
The story is he is satan speaking to god. If you didnt know.
Bad Omens are the damn kings of variety. One song they'll sound like Slipknot, then other times they'll sound like Bring Me the Horizon.
Or like justin blibber tbh
Their song, Like A Villain is fucking fantastic. Noah’s vocal range is proven in this
@@BabimbaFuckusTuckusin a good way
Go listen to king 810
And then he sounds like post Malone in the intro of the gray, so diverse
Noah (vocalist) did say from the start that this is the simplest (okay can't remember his exact word by quote) song he's ever made, but glad you finally reacted aha, I think you'd have enjoyed "Blood" more though
Oh Blood yes please!
My favorite off the album.
The three heavier hitters of the album are pretty good (Dethrone, Blood, Mercy)
Sam Hardaker will try to check em
@@NikNocturnal Definitely do Blood and Mercy, the vocals in Blood are so fucking cool.
The fact that this entire music video was filmed inside Noah’s dining room blows my mind. It’s so good.
Here's the thing. They've been pretty beat up from being compared to BMTH. This is a clear departure from that, and thusly sets them uniquely apart from that comparison. I say well done and a solid step forward.
Not that much of a departure, The Hell I Overcame sounds like it come straight off Sempiternal. Still good stuff though.
@@BurningBeard414 exactly, even this song feels like it could easily be featured on There is a hell... but since BMTH is one of my most favourite bands, I hardly see that as an issue
the breakdown after the second hook is pretty much bmth’s house of wolves riff copied and pasted. these guys wear their influences on their sleeves
they sound A LOT like BMTH, even on this song
umm, this sounds like an extended version of any breakdown of bmth's suicide season lmao
Dethrone is the heaviest song from the album but i think Mercy is the best. It is heavy but much more melodic.
Kingdom of Cards is the best one for me. such a cool song
It is cool. Very original.
Kingdom of Cards for me. Very good album eitherway
I just got into Bad Omens and I can’t get enough of them. This new album is completely different than the last two and I love it.
The best part of the song is after the “Here am I...” part when it goes into the “Did you think...”
I'd say Mercy is the best song on the album. This one good but a bit repetitive. Blood does do the heavier a bit more creative.
I agree! I'm so happy they played it live as their opener.
I second this
Mercy and said & done are amazing
I love mercy.
Definitely agree. My favourite on the album.
Bad omens is probably my favorite band just cuz how much variation there is in the albums
Thornhill Thornhill Thornhill Thornhill
hornyyy for thornyyy
OnTheTape yeah babyyyyy
#hornyforthorny
Yes!! Think he would really enjoy Reptile or Where We Go When We Die
Glad to hear the drummer I went to high school with it crazy seeing how far he has cam
its only one of the best albums of 2019
check out mercy, blood, kingdom of cards
Ay my two worlds colliding.
Nik, what about the latest Bad Omens releases ? Death of Peace of Mind, Like a Villain…?
This is my favorite song of Bad Omens. It is very heavy and when I am mad, I listen to it.
Mercy is the most interesting on the album, Kingdom of Cards is very Skyrim-y too. Lol.
kingdom of cards is my favorite and the skyrim sound is exactly why lmao
This whole album is AMAZING, all over the place, love it.
This is my favorite album of 2019 along with MIW Disguise
just saw this at the O2 and the whole song went crazy and set the mood for BMTH when they came out
Mercy and blood are the other heavy songs on the album. Mercy is probably my favorite on the album. Super melodic and heavy
So sad that the Amity Affliction video got removed, i was interested in your reaction on that one
Hector González wait what happened
@@NightHawk2003 got claimed
Blame that on warner music group scooping up a bunch of metal bands/record labels recently don't be surprised if more vids get taken down because warner really like to abuse copyright claims.
this song brings so much energy. all
the way through
The song "Blood" is wayyyy better in my opinion, but I still love this one
POCA ! I’ll see if I can check it out
i second this
I third this
Yes I LOVE THAT ONE SO MUUUUUCH
I fourth this
Some also solid songs from that album: Blood and Mercy. I really like lyrics.
Their new album is very good from front to back; is a more complete album than their first. The first album definitely had more bangers on it though
It’s less heavy than their first album overall so most people in this comment section don’t care. But I think the album is amazing.
@@liambarrett2638 Yeah it's less heavy hitting then there last, but it was a smart move to spice things up a bit to mix there music up. They are a very young band which I'm grateful to listen, and a lot of young bands don't hit main stream that fast. I seen them live and there amazing.
SOLIDMARCOS47 I agree. I saw them live but I didn’t get to hear any of the new album because I saw them after their first album!
@@liambarrett2638 Slight hint it's amazing.
They are Forsure underrated I saw them live and they sound the same in studio as they are live it’s amazing

@@EPTR1CKS just do it lol
I mean they’ve only released 2 albums so I believe they will only continue to get more creative as time goes on.
I’ve found this simplicity to be heavier than many other modern songs; it’s aggressive, to the point, hard hitting, and thrashy. Just my personal feelings- as a drummer, I just find simpler-hard hitting shit to be more memorable and catchier
Their new album has a lot of build ups
Secrets - “My Mind Myself and I”. Pleeeeeasssseee 😄
yesssssss
said and done and burning out are crazy good songs
I love love love their song Mercy off this album. As well as Running In Circles. This album definitely appeals to a wider audience and matures their sound, I think it's a logical and nice evolution of their sound. Unfortunately with that, the appeal to certain fans gets lost.

I liked the whole album. mercy, burning Out, blood and dethrone is my fav tracks for sure. 🤘

Bleed from within - The End of All We Know 🙏🙏🙏🙏

This song hits different live
"bassist, good job i can hear you"

Finally! I know I'm late to the video but I've been looking forward to this since Nik responded to my comment like a month ago saying maybe!
i love their newest album so much. i definitely think mercy is probably the best song on the album imo

I just love songs like this. Not a huge fan of fan of the band but holy hell this song slaps
This song slappppsss
DANG IT lol. Saw reaction, was hoping it was If I Were You - False Reality.
UGH lol.
Also Lorna Shore - This Is Hell. My gawd...
Pretty good stuff the new If I were you... Cant wait for the album
@@returner6614 They are really good. Nik said in his last video he'd check them out. Really hoping he does a reaction. Been my favorite band for awhile now. I know he'll enjoy it.
People have been sleeping on Bad Omens 💪 FGBGFM was one of my favorite records last year
React to signs by captives I think you'll like that song it's great
Thank you for doing another one that I have mentioned (: I am very happy.
bro this song plus the video could definitely be a movie. when i really look at it it feels like really evil. some monster in the pits ready to dethrone god. oh shit.
Hell yes Nik!! I discovered this song about a week ago, and its one hell of a track!! The musicvideo is disgusting but i love the song!😂
Dad is out here with a reaction vid
Okay.. okay .... okaay .... okaaaay
Better end heavy
Okaay
I love all their songs 👏🏻👏🏻
Ayye I was in their newest video for limits 🤘🏽 dudes are awesome
Meeting Bad Omens February 29th!!!
FINALLY! Waited for this a bit too long. xD
I heavily recommend Morose - Parasite. They're a new band that has so much potential in their sound and energy. They've got four songs right now, but you should definitely check them out. They need the exposure.
I've been waiting for this video for a while
i really like the vibe of the earlier videos
FINALLY!! HE LISTENED AND REACTED!!!!
Kill The Lights - Shed My Skin
Just found that one. Fucking banger
please give a chance to the whole album, its amazing
as a sucker for this album, i agree with your thoughts on this song. some egyptian melodies would have been the perfect touch to a dark and heavy song. also, everyone really likes mercy and think thats their best, but i personally favor kingdom of cards.
Above, Below - Eternal Sunshine or Blood Wine. Absolute bangers
You know the song is heavy asf when the Bass player only needs one string to play.
When this shit came out i was waiting for a reaction an here we are
React to THE END OF WHAT WE KNOW BY BLEED FROM WITHIN!!!!
Fuck yes, it's brilliant!
I second this!
Please for the love of god get on this. One of the cooler breakdowns ive heard in a while
Matthew Gaffney yesss
Tuna fish!
I'm with you. Definitely the best track on the album
Finally! My favorite song from bad omens! 🤘🏼
Viscera - Obsidian
It’s gotta be done 🔥
Does this guy ever look up on the lyrics? That's some "in-your-face" track.
The lyrics is too brutal, it's what got me into the song and I'm afraid every time I listen to it.
Dude that's what I was looking for the. The lyrics are just fucked off in a good way🤣
Top 10 albums of 2019 by far in my opinion. Lots of variation in music, vocals, and very good orchestration. Some people find it generic, I think its awesome.
I did not expect this
You should react to any song from their newest album “The Death of Peace of Mind” very good album.
“Hourglass-I am Noah” pls Nik I love your reactions and opinions
One of my favorite songs at the moment 🔥🤘
dude, I'm not a subscriber of yours, but i really like your guitars. They all look quite small and compact
Hey man, you ever thought about doing a podcast? Love your work :)
False reality by If I Were You - so goood
Nik I’ve been waiting for so long......
It's already awesome
It isn't the most complicated song, BUT I think it was just written to let the audience go fucking nuts for 3-4 minutes in pits and I love it.
Crossfaith Endorphin, you LOVE IT
Woohoo
My favorite from this album
One of the best albums
I dont know if you have seen it already, but Viscaya - Forever Wasn't Enough is a pretty good song. And I found them by a UA-cam ad. At least those ads were good for something.
FINALLLY yesssss
React to the offering from sleep token
TeicHoR YES IVE BEEN SAYING THIS
YESSSSSSS
Banger
The Hell I Over Came, Dethrone, Mercy, & Blood. Best songs, change my mind. :D
He forgot about the fact that they only have one guitarist, not 2 guitarists.
Give their new song limits a listen on their reissued it’s a good song
2:07 was my reaction when I first heard the song too, lmao
I would love you to review limits by them. I really enjoyed it and it has a different sound thematically from the rest of the album.
People who say this song is repetitive don’t know music... you wanna know why it sounds repetitive? It’s because the chorus... you know, that thing that is in every song!? The only difference is this is a memorable chorus... it doesn’t just blend in the background of the rest of the song!!! Bloody good track!!!
Oh shit, finally.
It’s a chonkdown
listen to limits- bad omens
mate you need to react "To the grave - Wastage" you need to hear that omg its so heavuuuuuuuuuuu
