      Excellent analysis. Not that many people get it. As far as lyrics and vocal ability goes Perennial live at Wacken Open Air and Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv would be good ones for reactions. Having said that they have so many good songs it's hard to suggest just two. I usually just post the UA-cam playlist I listen to pretty regularly. Any of those including the two I just mentioned would be good ones to check out

    Hi Knox, allow me to introduce you to Tatiana Shmayluk. She's from Ukraine, she goes by "Tati", she is one of the most gifted vocalists you'll ever see, and she enjoys long walks on the beach and melting reactors' brains. Yes that's her real voice and she is just as impressive live. If you want to verify that I would recommend their performance of Perennial live at Wacken. Absolutely stunning performance.
    Also of note with Jinjer - the band is phenomenal. They get overlooked sometimes... I'm sure you can understand why but they are amazing musicians. Everything they play is airtight, they're always perfectly in sync with each other and Tati. One of my favorite bands around even though I'm not usually a big fan of super harsh metal vocals.

    It is seriously astounding how well you heard those lyrics. I'm pretty used to listening to harsh vocals and still deciphering what the lyrics are, but you did that on the first listen, in spades, and did even better than that. You *very* accurately heard what she said, and you fully comprehended the meaning of it, and connected the song together very beautifully (I literally didn't even realize all of the lyrical meanings, and I've listened to and sung the song multiple times). I feel like this is where you are best as an artist, that being understanding and speaking the language that another artist or artists speak (I mean that both literally and figuratively)

She writes the large majority of the lyrics for their songs, and she is an absolutely incredible lyricist, on top of being best female vocalist on the planet! You haven't seen anything yet. This band doesn't have a single bad song to their name. Hope you continue down the rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed! I recommend Teacher Teacher. She even does a little rapping in that one.

    Wow, s-tier lyrics breakdown. Great work! Tati is an introvert, chronically depressed, and shy when she isn't performing but has learned to transform herself into what her art needs her to be. Whatever you do next will be awesome because their lyrics are always amazing. Some that I'd recommend are Perennial at Wacken to see them onstage in the standard followup to Pisces, Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv for possibly their finest concert video, Judgement and Punishment one take for a bit of reggae and lots of real talk, and Home Back official about their hometown in eastern Ukraine getting caught in the 2014 war that set the stage for the current invasion. Subbed. Cheers!

      That's definitely the conventional wisdom and even the band weren't that thrilled by at least the album version of it. Now, maybe Vlad fixed that stuff with his formal education but either way I can see why they'd have problems. It's a fairly standard song structure so getting it to Jinjer standards of uniqueness was probably hard. In particular, doing the same transitions in a way that was unique within the song and individually really interesting was probably hard. But in a way, pulling it off as well as this version manages to makes their skills all the more impressive.

    I'll admit, I wasn't expecting too much from "Rapper Reacts" because I've been let down with other reactions, but your analysis of the lyrics and meaning were so good! You just got a sub.
    I would highly recommend doing more Jinjer breakdowns. Their lyrics are often incredibly deep (not to mention the music and vocals are insane). It gets even more wild when you find out that Tatiana (the lead vocal) generally writes her lyrics in Ukrainian first and they just happen to translate so well into English.
    Suggestions would be Teacher, Teacher!, Vortex, Wallflower, etc. but almost any song of theirs will be good! On second thought, Teacher Teacher! would be amazing because the verses are delivered in an almost rap style.

You're also one of the few reactors who didn't instantly jump to questioning if it was really her screaming. If I wasn't already subscribed before this video I would've been hitting the subscribe button for that. And I hope you go down the Jinjer rabbithole. I'd recommend Vortex, Teacher Teacher, and Crime an Punishment. Particularly Teacher Teacher from a lyrical standpoint cuz you seem to question authority so I could see you appreciating that one quite a bit. Sidenote, what makes her lyrics even more impressive is that English is her 3rd or 4th language and she writes all the lyrics herself.

    Everything about this track is classy as hell. Even the harsh parts. Out of the few women who do harsh vocals, almost none of them are able to produce growls and screams that sound so much like what men produce.

      She has too. She can go pretty low on her gutturals but you can still recognize that is not a man doing the growls, and there is nothing bad on it. Nowdays there are A LOT of women who do harsh vocals and there are some that you literally can't tell if is a man or not (like Cerebral Bore, to say a band somewhat "famous"), but imo everyone has a different scream, and it is ok. I spent years trying to become like Philip Labonte from ATR (I love his mids), but I'm better on tunnel growls and gutturals, I can do mids too but they are not as good, I stopped trying to be someone else and now I'm enjoing what I can do best

    The overtones when she's screaming, especially in the second chorus, are insane! You can clearly hear the melody in it over the more "harsh and simple" screaming.

    Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole. Bring your own tea and hats, because it's a mad party down here!
    They are one of the best bands out there. I've been stunned by their versatility. Both Tatiana (the singer) and the rest of the band are incredible.
    I don't remember if you've reacted to Spiritbox in the past, but the two bands share a lot of qualities. If you haven't heard of them, I highly recommend them as well. Although I suggest that you continue with Jinjer for a while yet. Tatiana is...something else. Watch her one-take live performance of "Judgement (& Punishment)" and you'll see what I mean.

    Jinjer Teacher Teacher is my favourite song, so good. And their live performance of Perennial a wacken is dope for stage presence, I prefer it to the studio track for whatever reason too. Just slightly different cadences that appeal to me more than on the track

    Pisces in astrology symbolizes the union of life and death: one fish is alive and goes upstream, the other is dead is dragging the live fish to the bottom. It is the duality of human life, our desires and reality that can kill us or bring us to full potential. You had the best reaction on UA-cam. I am totally with you. I also appreciate how you took time to point out the meaningful lyrics.

    I really love your deep dive into the lyrics. This band is one of my favorites. All four of the members are so talented. Can't wait for you to explore more of their music. Perennial Live at Wacken will really blow you away, both with her vocals and the lyricism of the song.

  • @avtomatt554
    @avtomatt554 Рік тому +7

    They're among the best to do it, currently. This isn't even their most impressive song (instrument or vocal wise), it's just the most surprising, so a lot of people recommend it as an intro to them. If no one has mentioned it, they are actually from the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which has been one of the hardest hit and most embattled areas during the war. Luckily they were able to leave the country. I'm not sure about the rest of the band, but the singer Tatiana was able to move to California and is currently engaged to one of the members of Suicide Silence (I'm not sure who, not really familiar with that band). The fact English is not her first language makes her brilliant lyrics all the more incredible. And you nailed the interpretation of this song.

      I understand where y’all are coming from with Daddy, (and I agree it would be interesting), but I don’t think you can just throw someone into the deep end like that, so to speak. If that’s going to happen, I think he should build up to it first.

    @nyxxystyx Рік тому +4

    Could not have nailed the meaning of the song closer to the head, though I cannot say I'm surprised in the least. Jinjer is a phenomenal band all around, and Tatiana is a monster of a vocalist! This kind of modern metal is always a treat, and I am always happy to see where the journey takes you! Wonderful reaction, as always! Another suggestion you might like is Thornhill, specifically their album The Dark Pool. Anything from that LP is amazing and should definitely be experienced all the way through, but a good reaction would definitely be Nurture, Red Summer, Lily & The Moon, Coven, or Where We Go When We Die.
    Stay jazzy!

    Hey Knox, I love this song and props for being able to pick out the screamed lyrics the first time through. This song is close to Tatianna's heart (The lead vocalist.) Being a Pisces herself, and there was a nod to that as well in the earring she wore during this live session. Love the video's and keep up the hustle! If you want to hear more from this band, I suggest you check out Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019).

    Oh, and the magic of them. They are from Ukraine (the part under attack - See Home Back for the song about the 2014 Russian attacks). She writes all of the lyrics in Russian after the guys write the music. She then translates all of the lyrics to English.
