Never had a problem with the original version, but now since I've listened to this.. I can't go back to the original. The bass, the synths, the guitar harmonies... They just sound so much better. Jamie King did a killer job. If you are a hater, you're a hater and that's fine. But man... This just kicks so much ass.
Jamie king is what?
Yeah it’s way more fluid and sounds crispy as fuck just wish they remastered all the songs and not just some of them
Well, Jamie’s been doing BTBAM’s stuff forever, I’d wanna go to him in a few years if he weren’t so far.
Similar to the New Reign remaster, i miss the old sound a bit. I actually prefer old Empires Erased to the new one. I prefer the old Flourish to the new one as well just cause the bass under the first breakdown sounds kinda dumb with the synth copying it imo
L
i JUST watched them play this WHOLE album live lastnight... & it was fuking amazingggg
going in a couple days, just checking their music out for the first time. really good stuff! "language" is mostly atmospheric, this one is nice and heavy

you legend
so smart.
*some comment about how not all heroes wear capes*
The Contortionist are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Exoplanet is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Flourish is one of the greatest songs of all time.
1. No
2. Maybe
3. Yes
1. Debatable
2. Within the last 11 years, yes
3. I'd peg Oscillator above it, but will agree that it is one of the greatest songs of all time.
Vessel is their best track imo the peak of the album
@@WeWantYouToStay Since the statements are all opinions (most of which I agree with):
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
1. I love the fuck out of contortionist and I loved their musical evolution all the way up to current albums. They're kind of revisiting their old sound with a blend of their new style but with a lot of bands out there now like the faceless and their album ghosts. I'd say it's debatable.
2. If not #1 definitely should be in everyone's top 10 for sure.
3. For me at least, that's hard to choose.
Here after seeing The Contortionist Exoplanet Live Stream. Best thing I ever did in 2021 so far.
One of the few deathcore/djent releases that will be remembered for years to come
Yeah for their prog metal albums, which are actually good unlike the first two.
@@ToveriJuri and Exoplanet, undeniably
@@tcarafi Nah it's definitely deniable. If you like Deathcore sure, if you don't then it's just about as boring as any other deathcore for the most part.
@@ToveriJuri still it will be remembered for years to come, I mean it’s already been 12 years and people are going crazy about the ongoing tour
I've listened to this album so many times and I feel like I'm listening to a new album completely. I can listen to it over and over.(again)
Really good sound quality and detail. Listening to this with good headphones really captures all nuances.
I like that they brought the levels up on the bass track and synths. Gave Flourish a kick in the ass!
they did really fucking good with expire
Only bad part is on expire the double kick segment is over taken by synths :(
Flourish flourished.
This album will always be incredible
Holy shit. I can hear things that weren't there before e___e love it.
Been playing this record for years now, and I also found some background sounds I never heard before! Absolutely amazing
Don't forget they remastered this, there's different lyrics and different notes that have been added and subtracted. Both are still outstanding!
@@tommyfalconey different lyrics where?
Exoplanet I-III are definitely the heaviest songs they've ever written and some of the best songwriting of their entire discography.
REMASTER INTRINSIC
+MusicPancho Seriously. Out of all the albums put out, I believe that album is in most need of a remaster.
+Shawn Kade I couldn't agree more. The production on Intrinsic has always bothered me. I definitely feel that the mix keeps it from its potential.
+Chad Koza COULD NOT agree more. I have to use an app on my phone to make it bearable to listen to in the car
+Comment UA-cam what app?
Afessa EQ
To this day, the best band in this genre to come from Indiana. Sweeer.
I've been listening to Oscillator for ten years, and it still gives me goosebumps every single time.
This comment gave me goosebumps.
The vocalist of He The Deceiver/Dweller showed me Flourish about a year after the original album was released and it blew me away. I will never forget this album, as it has helped me through some things, because of being able to make me calm with some of the songs on this album. Much love TC.
I wish The Contortionist would resurrect this style. I love the band but I just can't get into any of their newer stuff the way I did this album. It's so beautiful yet terrible and chaotic. It's absolutely perfect
same
I agree
Intrinsic was awesome.
Exoplanet was awesome.
Language was fvcking amazing.
Clairvoyant was okay.
Haven't heard anything else from them yet.
@@davecrupel2817 Language is trash. If you aren't listening to Shapeshifter EP on repeat (Exoplanet is based off those instrumentals), then you aren't listening to The Contortionist correctly
@@little_metal Language is the finest piece of music The Contortionist has ever produced.
I'll die on that hill.
@@davecrupel2817 agreed.
Love the contact sounds remastered with the synth
+Brendon stacey Yep I was just thinkin that
been listening to this album for ages. Gotta be said, i grew out of the djent thing but this album will always be the greatest from those years of my life. Thank you
yea it's one of those few non-cringe djent albums. For me personally the list includes Reflections, Fellsilent, Monuments debut, and ofc Vildhjarta
I listen to this record for the first time in 7 years and it sounds better than I remember, especially the last three tracks. more dynamic with the remixing and remastering. 😭
Banging album
The guitar harmonies at the end of Contact has always been one of my fave part of this album. But now it’s even more pronounced and how it’s panned is incredible. Epic perfection
Love the production
This is the peak of Death Metal (all subgenres included). It has the perfect blend of brutality, technique, melody, theme, atmosphere, and groove among other things. Best album ever released.
yess totally agree this is next level
@Dustin Rogers I love Common Man's Collapse and I'm glad other people appreciate it as well, however Exoplanet is more monumental in what it accomplishes by blending so many traits and doing it perfectly into one album. Exoplanet has no bad tracks, Common Man's Collapse has a few tracks that are not up to par with the rest of the album; in fact they just copied a few tracks from All Things Set Aside and put it onto Common Man's Collapse.
@Dustin Rogers I mean all of the albums you listed were good, if not elite, no doubt; however when it comes to the peak and the best instrumentation and lyrics(I mean seriously if you haven't yet looked at Jonathan's lyrics for this album you need to, it is a concept album and this is another reason why people say this album is the best ever) this album stands on an island. This band was the first to really make deathcore progressive, if you look at The Contortionist now they are one of the best progressive acts in the game and thus have attracted a whole new audience of fans, which speaks to how sublime their instrumentation is. However this is another reason why people more into deathcore/metalcore don't really like this album because it switches up time signatures a lot(this is why it is progressive deathcore).
I wouldnt call this death metal, but yeah :P
@@davecrupel2817 Yeah I've thought about that as well but Deathcore is the best genre to categorize them into; they definitely don't fit the metalcore brand, but they do enough death metalish things with their vocalist and guitarists that place them into the Deathcore realm lol.
shit is so fucking metal at 24:50
i miss this version of the contortionist so much. this has etched itself into what i view as good metal music. this shit is incredible
Still come back
A true masterpiece
Fucking insane! They seem to be going back to put more of an emphasis on melody, rather than just the crunchy guitars. And those melody lines are crystal clear now, when before they used to almost blend in with the rhythm. I am digging the boosted bass in parts like the beginning of Vessel. This remastered album is going back into my playlist.
Edit: Of fucking course, it's remastered by Jamie King. You rock, dude.
this is a great remastering, was happy with first production but this is perfect now!! really hope these guys go back to writing this kinda of music
Curtis Castro idk. The last album and this single they did worried me even though there’s a bunch of other stuff. But it all counts to me. It’s not about what I want but I still want things. I understand they want a larger fan base, but the real OGs seem mostly upset and me, only knowing them for 5 years, I do miss this kinda stuff from them. No music is necessarily better than others regardless of my memes, but I know what I’m looking for, feel me?
Forest Whitaker! 0:41
+Danny “Sarbs” Sarbiewski God damn you... I'm never gonna unhear that.
duuuuhhhhhhh he is the greatest!!!
ahahahhahahahahaa holy fuk thankyiuuu
It seems like they re-synthesized the synths too, which is a huge deal to me at least. They sound great. The mixes seem a bit more focused on harmony and melody now. I like it, but yeah I do agree the heavy parts don't hit quite as hard anymore, which is fine. You have two different mixes for two different moods.
+KidnapstedGC Eric Guenther redid the synths/keyboards.
Mind blown...
I was waiting for Mike lessard to do his high pitch scream! I love the mix
+Michael Alvarez It's not Mike Lessard singing ;)
+ChuranuQC haha no wayy ugh you ruined it for me man! Who sings??
+Michael Alvarez Johnatan Carpenter for Exoplanet and Intrinsic ;)
this is the best metal created and it is my goal to make it worldwide known ! help get them the respect they deserve. them and BTBAM. and VOM.
Fuck I love this album.
very much so noticed the differences in remaster. not a bad job really, definitely changed it up alot! the entire waking seconds of exoplanet is a fucking masterpiece! some of the nastiest shit unlike any other set of artists to this day and sickeningly underrated.
God, Exoplanet: Void still hits like an atom bomb 10 plus years later. My absolute favorite song if I had to pick but the whole album is fire.
holy crap. only just found out about this today. one of my favourite albums and they made it even better. the mix sounds great and i love that they have made the synths more prominent (as well as improving their sound). Can't wait to get this and listen to the full thing
The switch to melodic gorgeousness at 2:26 ----> is *precisely* why I like this band so much: their dynamics. Better than any antidepressant. lol.
Vessel is both the most dense and my favorite song on this one.
Cole Allen the drop feels so good man.
Sean T That’s a weird way to say “the whole song” but you got the right spirit🎇
Same, the ending is so fucking good
One of the greatest albums ever made
To everyone saying this mix sounds weak, at least make sure you're on 1080p. It's not perfect quality but it'll do if you haven't purchased the record.
I sure hope the ridiculous amount of compression on this is because of UA-cam not the remastering.
It's UA-cam. Even 1080p isn't lossless.
I meant the dynamic compression. Either way I much prefer the remaster!
INTRINSIC PLEASE!
REMASTER INTRINSIC!
👌🖤🤘
the ads right in the middle of half of the god damn songs really make it for me.
The build up in Oscillator still gets my jimmies in a twist. My gizzard in a noose. My knackers in a knuckle. I'm struggling to be funny here, but fucking hell. It's so good. I remember when I first heard it I drove around my block about 14 extra times. Basically this whole album fucked me real good and left me starry-eyed.
Me before discover this: i can't listen to Metal anymore
Me after this: * repeat for the 3rd time *
Even more amazing than the original. Wow.
Best album still..
Este album es como un libro y para entenderlo debes escucharlo en su debido orden.
Yes 100 percent agreed. Especially in these days
I'm not sure how I feel about the synth being louder, I like it in some areas but not others. It's a little jarring to me but maybe that's the point
agreed for the most part.
Its an interesting change. but some areas like the computer voice(this system is now free from error) being blocked out
were meh.
Personally I hate it like 8 maybe 9 out of 10 times, those synths being louder. They should left it the way it was in my opinion, and I really don't want to sound like an Etilist or something but it really bothers me when listening.. Cool for the folks who like this better though.
i prefer the older mix... this sound overpumped and too fresh! and intrinsic mix isn't so bad
Yeah if you thought intrinsic mix wasn't so bad you have shit in ya ears
The different synth parts in flourish are fucking insane my god
Legendary album
To this day, no metal album has been able to top this for me. The discovery of this band/album was just a "right place, right time" kind of thing for me. It has all the things I love about the genre. It saddened me when the band "evolved" to the more progressive, softer style they have now. Also I think the new singer is a dick but whatever. Exoplanet will, in my opinion, remain as the pinnacle of "Djent/Death"-core and even metal all around.
I will ALWAYS prefer apparition but this is cool
Fucking Jamie King man, what a legend
Holy shit did I die and go to metal heaven?
nah you went to space
Wow there sound has changed so much in the newer stuff. Love it
I can listen to anything, been a fan of metal since I was a kid. Some of the nerwer djent stuff gets a bit old, and the screaming/growls is not that good, but how I missed this album for this many years is beyond me. So fucking good!
Really like what they did with the guitars, synth, and some of the vocals but the drums seems a lot less powerful in this mix. It might just be me. But what do I know I'm just some kid on the Internet.
QUALITY.
1st 30 sec and im already done omg *.* amazing
I remember listening to the song "Flourish". Soujds better remastered. I guess I'll listen to the whole album since I'm here.
If you didn’t hear it before, then you were never listening
Man for a second I thought they rerecorded this with 7 strings and with the new vocalist. I was super excited to hear how that would sound
+TheMeatballMen However, Flourish sounds pretty nice here. That being said, I think I like that song so much, it wouldn't matter to me how it sounds
The arrangement is nicer for this album, however there is just so much pumping in the mix that's hard to get over. Overall, this is pretty dope.
remaster intrinsic pleeeeeese!
also you can't remake perfection so I don't know why this album got remastered
Intrinsic's bass drum tone makes me angry
James Glendinning why
Evan Is Evan Because it sounds like hitting a piece of construction paper with a plantain.
James Glendinning lmfaooooo that's pretty good.
H-O-L-Y- S-H-I-T! This sounds awesome!! The Exoplanet trilogy is amazing!!
FLOURISH AND VESSEL OMFG
I prefer this to the original. The original wasn't bad but a little too raw sounding. Intrinsic is the one that REALLY needs re mixed and mastered!!! Intrinsic is my favorite contortionist record but the mix is fucked
+TheGhostOfKarelia1 agree, sounds more "FULLER"
i love intrinsics mix. drums sound sick
"Intrinsic" need a "redux" release, the mix/mastering sounds bad compared to language and this!
This shit is unreal!!! I started with Language and working my way back. Holy shit this is sooooooo amazing!
this really beatiful and nostalgic 6:26
so is 38:09 in my opinion
waaaay better than the original
Still my go to 💪🏼
Someone know or have a link to download this awesome music?
I love this album, but I feel like the guitars in the remaster are too bassy- whenever I listen to it on a decent audio setup I've gotta go turn down the bass in software.
I am a fan of this mix as it just sounds bigger. I still enjoy the original. The bass seems clearer and wider here, as well as massive synths.
wow this is very different from clairvoyant...
Yo try their Apparation EP fucking baller dude
God fucking damnit this is good.
Seriously? This sounds so different compared to the new album!
holy shit
the lack of space between Expire and Contact PISSES ME OFF. Somebody needs to change that.
What a stupid thing to complain about.
It's obviously not stupid if i cared enough about it. There's a gap missing and I think that's important to note. Fuck outta here
I can understand your concern although I personally got really excited when the two songs flowed seamlessly. It's the little things. There's some other sections of this mix that rubbed me the wrong way too.
sacredgeometry has a point. It’s not worth them re-redoing the album, but it bothered me, too. But I guess only if they could switch the guitar tones and hands fast enough to play it so that it sounds like that, it wouldn’t be as much a big deal to me. You can do some fast hand repositioning, but towards a certain point there will be string scrape hiss if they have to move horizontally to play it. I don’t feel like figuring out how to play that part so I guess I won’t know for sure. Still sounds a little odd how it changes that fast.
*Good Fight Music for those who don't fight
Can I please buy a physical copy?
google
I hate how many ads are on here
Loved the record when it came out. But this sounds sooooo good
BEST ALBUM EVER
5:54 😮
The second half of this album is truly intense, sounds like... Ohh fawk it doesn't sound like anything. Its magic, its original!
damn, I just realized I've been listening to this remastered version for over a year now... time fucking flys.
For some reason, I feel like everyone that disliked the mix on intrinsic probably didnt buy the album. I love the mix on intrinsic and I bought it digitally - if you torrented or stream these albums you got no room. I bet one reason this remastered version sounds overly compressed and pumpy is because of youtube's bullshit sound compression
Dude it sounds FLAWLESS on cd for sure
I saw someone else comment about the compression and i was like pffffff wtf are u listening to
Holy shit, it sounds even more amazing remastered.
why do they insert some wimpy pop chorus into every song.
it doesnt sound right at all
Tf it doesn't sound like pop at all. Also this album has very few choruses anyways
The is a MASTERPIECE
2:26 - The tight ghost-blast notes from the original version have faded from this plane of existence :(
This version is just missing the punch of the first release. With the upped bass and synth everything is just muddier. At 7:50 it doesn't so much drive anymore as it does float listlessly along.
Oh well - I still have the original version. Not gonna say this is the "wrong" version or you're wrong for liking this one instead of the first one. Take your pick and rock out!
