this album floored me, even at 27 minutes ive heard it non stop all day. It feels more like a creative sequel to A Tear where it tells exactly the story it wants to tell and leaves. KL have possibly the greatest setlist catalogue of any band out there right now, they don't need to load us up with 15 songs, they are a band which tours utterly non stop, rides through town, demolishes the place and leaves, which is exactly what the album did to me
Just heard Sit & Mourn and wow. The second half, the haunting guitar sounds like a conversation between a man and a woman, with the lower notes being the man and the higher notes being the replies from a woman. Idk why I thought that, but with the little "why'd you leave" thing it makes it feel all the more like a conversation to me.
I thought it would be aoty after hearing blinding faith but it’s not close to the top. Boundaries, alpha wolf, avralize, like moths to flames, grayscale season
Oh it's a contender but probably won't end up there because of the sheer amount of competition. May not be as close for everybody but even being up there compared to albums almost doubled the length is still impressive.
@@zander504I've listened to this album at least twice a day for weeks. The songs transition so well that I just let the album loop. Replay value is 10/10 for me.
The way that Brian’s vocals get cut off by the swelling tones of those guitars in Take Me Home is quite possibly one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard. Also, the drums in The Calm That Keeps You Awake are filthy!
@@jrottendevil I drive and pick up lab samples for animals from several vet clinics and then drive them 2 hours down to the lab. We love to see couriers unite 👌🏻😂
I have been so hyped for this album and I gotta say it exceeded my expectations. At first I thought man this is too short but the more I listened on repeat I think it makes perfect sense for the album and songs length imo just because of how brutal it is. I was very thrown off by Sit & Mourn because it was so different for Knocked Loose but man I gotta say, that is my favorite track off of this album. It gave me feelings that I haven’t felt in a long time. Uncomfortable and hard to face feelings actually, but it reminds me that I need to feel those instead of hiding or bottling them up. It’s so impactful and I was not expecting anything like that at all.
This and LMTF album really did it for me today. I knew i was only safe to put Bloom ane Alpha Wolf at the top untik today. Can't wait to see your Moths reaction next, it's fantastic!
The three songs leading up to this i knew this album was going to be amazing, but I was bewildered by how impressive the rest of the album was. These dark melody rich themes in the album reminded me of what I love about converge and END.
love how everyone is losing their minds over this!! knocked loose is truly on another level in this scene and i hope this makes everyone raise their standards for the album experience. this album proves we can really get some incredibly artistic metalcore. bands like knocked loose and boundaries are raising the fuckin bar!
This album is more unsettling and dark than the previous one they did. I also like how they incoporated some soft but dark melodies in some of these songs ever since they put out the two song EP. Really shows how much they're growing and how much they want to push themselves to topping their previous work.
This album sits on top for me right now alongside Death is Little More and slightly above The Black. Still have yet to listen to LMTF's Cycles in its entirety, but I've high hopes.
I dont know if an album has ever had me on the edge of my seat the way this one did. Knocked Loose have mastered hate, and anger. The way they always have you bracing for whats next. I love it.
This album is insane, its just amazing sonically and artistically, but i have one problem with it, and Bodgan mentions it - there is not enough of it! It feels kinda like EP, and after singles i came to it with a expectation that im gonna be destroyed by the heaviness, but by the end of it i dont have that feeling, cause there is just this lack of content, i wish they would do longer parts on some tracks, for example last breakdown in Slaughterhouse after BLEAGH should be longer for sure! At least for 10 seconds, also breakdown on Piece by Piece cuts really early and ends with like 20 seconds noise after the last DUN, and Take Me Home is just trolling me not giving me that final drop, i feel like just 3 to 5 minutes more of it would do the job perfectly
Man, they missed a huge opportunity with take me home, there was the most insane build up from knocked loose ever for it not to be a crazy breakdown, if that happened, i think people would be more taken aback from the album. Just like how crazy the ending of god knows was
it honestly pissed me the fuck off can't stroke me for an entire song just to leave it with nothing, cool vibes but overall I don't think ill be listening to this song at all
Istg I saw someone say Sit & Mourn is like being lowered into the pits of hell, and it really is. Definitely my song of the year. Erra killed it with Cure, but this is definitely my AOTY
I’ll be honest, I was never really that into knocked loose. I usually prefer some clean vocals mixed in. But from the time I heard the 1st single from this album I’ve been completely obsessed. This album blew me away, there aren’t any songs I will skip.
Listening to this album front-to-back for the first time felt eerily similar to the first time I listened to "Jane Doe" by Converge nearly 20 years ago. Utterly punishing but surprisingly intricate and lyrical. The future of hardcore is in good hands.
AOTY for me. The Calm That Keeps You Awake + Take Me Home are so insanely heavy and creative. They really evolved their sound with this one, 10/10 all killer no filler
Great album from start to finish, but not sure if it's aoty for me, I still feel like Boundaries took it this year. Probably upopular opinion but some ppl hyped it up way too much, still great listen tho. Moss Covers All/Take Me Home was amazing, appreciate experimentation on this one
I was waiting for the slaughterhouse 2 since i knew it'll be released, but listening it for the first time wasn't that great as I thought it to be. BUT THE WHOLE ALBUM IS SOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD
I think slaughterhouse takes away from the album experience and theme. It’s a part 2 of a feature from a different album completely, it is a banger on its own don’t get me wrong. But for me it took me out of the experience I believe this album wants to convey. Sit & Mourn is their best song they’ve done. And TCTKYA is the one I will be returning to the most. Killer opening to the album and they really finished it flawlessly! OLDHAM FOREVER
Agreed. Slaughterhouse 2 was good, but feels out of place here. Would've loved to see Deep in the Willow/Everything is Quiet Now on the record instead of Slaughterhouse 2
I'm probably going to be controversial here, but as good as this album is, I don't think it is album of the year. I think Boundaries cemented themselves with that one, their album had more variety and if I am being honest this new Knocked Loose album isn't even their best work. Still fire tho. Edit: After a few relistens, I now can safely say this is better than the Boundaries album, but not by much. I think i give this album a slight edge due to its artistic merits.
I think the same, but to be fair with all the hype around the album knocked loose kinda exceeded the expectations for me and the album is a certified short and sweet banger
i'll be honest, boundaries are still my aoty. but god damn did this album bludgeoned me to death chris KILLED it on slaughter house 2 and surprisingly take me home is one of my favorites on the album. also love the ikea fit, homie.

I'm surprised why nobody is talking about new dealer??? New Knocked loose is good but new dealer is murderous... opener song tells it all KINGS DIE HERE....
Finally someone mentions new dealer album. Don’t get me wrong, KL album is good but not AOTY. Hate to piss on everyone’s parade but there are some stronger albums that have more structure recently. LMTF is another good one. Again just my opinion.
Maybe a little controversial opinion but i think their new guitar made some of the breakdowns feel not as punchy as they could have been. Its a good tone for the singles, but idk. Maybe it'll grow on me
My dude looks like Vault Boy discovered hardcore in the wasteland

Nice pfp
watameeeeeeeeeee
also yeah knocked loose and stuff yeah.
Album so heavy it felt like a nuke, even Bogdan puts on his Fallout Vault suit
The guitars sound like bombs lmao
I love how dark, unsettling, eerie this album sounds. Very thought provoking. Also Sit & Mourn may be my SOTY so far
Yes! Sit & Mourn made me stop at work and just stand with my eyes closed. It’s incredible!
100% agree
That breakdown took me back to the end of everything is quite know, so fuckin good 🤯
literally made me tear up. I'm 42. take a LOT these days for something to move me like that.

the fucking balls to put out a sub 30 min hardcore album and likely end up aoty in a very very good year though

The Calm That Keeps You Awake has the best breakdown I've ever heard man, absolutely floored by how good this album was.
Yeah basically Gojira - Explosia
Facts
So similar to the outtro of Alpha Wolf - Mangekyo. Fucking evil
the moment that last segment came in , i was like immolation of night 2 lesss fckn goo , prolly my favorite track along with blinding faith
@@你媽雞槌 ya right FR holy shit
The way that Brian’s vocals get cut off by the swelling tones of those guitars in Take Me Home is quite possibly one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard. Also, the drums in The Calm That Keeps You Awake are filthy!
Bro I thought that same thing. I don't think I've ever heard of anything like that before but it is just absolutely disgusting and awesome
I was fully expecting him to finish the line. But to have his last word cut but absolute chaos was brutal in a beautiful way.
Sit & Mourn picks you back up after getting absolutely brutalized by the rest of the album
I had that song on loop for an hour today while I sat on the couch and and just reflected on my life
@@thelightyears_LITERALLY SAME. Except I was driving the entire time for my job.

Such a good album

I love how you include the best parts from every song
Their darkest feeling album yet! Loving it
This album is insane. I love every second of it and although I wouldn’t mind more, I am perfectly happy with the amount of content in this album.
love how everyone is losing their minds over this!! knocked loose is truly on another level in this scene and i hope this makes everyone raise their standards for the album experience. this album proves we can really get some incredibly artistic metalcore. bands like knocked loose and boundaries are raising the fuckin bar!
Fun fact: The last song Sit & Mourn, the melody close to the end is the same melody used at the end of Everything Is Quiet Now from Upon Loss
i m so in love with this song omg
are you sure? I am hearing same clean tone but not the same notes of the guitar of Everything is quiet now, they are different.
Just listened to both back to back. Definitely not the same melody, but very similar tone and spacing of notes
Same clean and high gain guitar tone, same outro idea, but different notes, different melody, different rhythm 😅
Not even close to the same melody.
This is my AOTY, the album is so sick, I love it
Yeah, that groove in “The Calm That Keeps You Awake” fucked me up too. Absolute gas.
This album is more unsettling and dark than the previous one they did. I also like how they incoporated some soft but dark melodies in some of these songs ever since they put out the two song EP. Really shows how much they're growing and how much they want to push themselves to topping their previous work.

@@KingNyanCatmight legit be their best work to date
LMTF will blow you away
I dont know if an album has ever had me on the edge of my seat the way this one did. Knocked Loose have mastered hate, and anger. The way they always have you bracing for whats next. I love it.
This is a strong AOTY contender for me. Absolutely wild album.
Every song on this album is amazing, but The Calm That Keeps You Awake might be my favorite non-single on the album
This album is insane, its just amazing sonically and artistically, but i have one problem with it, and Bodgan mentions it - there is not enough of it!

Man, they missed a huge opportunity with take me home, there was the most insane build up from knocked loose ever for it not to be a crazy breakdown, if that happened, i think people would be more taken aback from the album. Just like how crazy the ending of god knows was
This is my top comment.
Bogdan's face when the "old timey" music started playing. I giggled 😂
This album is 10/10. But i agree i wish it was just a little longer.
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I've gotten into KL casually and liked all the recent stuff but this blew me away!
This album is AMAZING
This album goes hard I think every song hits you in the face been stuck on this album all day today
The fake out drop in Take Me Home is so relatable.
it honestly pissed me the fuck off can't stroke me for an entire song just to leave it with nothing, cool vibes but overall I don't think ill be listening to this song at all
what they did was honestly so much cooler than another breakdown. Song is legitimately disturbing.
7:48 try not to headbang 2024
Impossible task
I feel so bad for that snare man. Absolutely brutalized.
it just opens perfectly with thirst (it even breaks the sound barrier)
The transitions between songs was beautiful🤌
4:40 those vocals are actually disgusting, got goosebumps when I first heard it.
Favorite moments are "Suffocate" into "Don't Reach For Me" and then the whole second half after "Slaughterhouse 2"
Seeing them tonight!
Just seen them a few days ago in Columbus with the garden, drain and militarie gun and it was fucking crazy🤘🏻
7:47 finally someone that reacted like I did. Other reactors have been like "ha nice"
When that hit it destroyed me
Istg I saw someone say Sit & Mourn is like being lowered into the pits of hell, and it really is. Definitely my song of the year. Erra killed it with Cure, but this is definitely my AOTY
the 808 drop in thirst gives me chills every damn time
When he says "From inside I can hear their call"...the way he says hear is amazing
I’ll be honest, I was never really that into knocked loose. I usually prefer some clean vocals mixed in. But from the time I heard the 1st single from this album I’ve been completely obsessed. This album blew me away, there aren’t any songs I will skip.
The breakdown in The Calm That Keeps You Awake reminded me a lot of Gideon, of all things. This whole album is wild.
Listening to this album front-to-back for the first time felt eerily similar to the first time I listened to "Jane Doe" by Converge nearly 20 years ago. Utterly punishing but surprisingly intricate and lyrical. The future of hardcore is in good hands.
I'm sure its been mentioned already, but the new Dealer album is worth checking out
Well said at the end. I'm pretty confident this will be my aoty
Yeahhh I think this’ll be my AOTY. And the radically revolutionary lyrics in slaughterhouse 2?? Sold.
SUFFO “ one sheet of bounty is more effective than the generic brand! Bounty the quicker picker upper! “ CATE
One sheet does plenty
Album of the year - without a fucking question
This album is so good!. You should also review the new Pincer+ song. Its great
Its almost the middle of the year and we already have a lot of AOTY contenders goddamn
AOTY for me. The Calm That Keeps You Awake + Take Me Home are so insanely heavy and creative. They really evolved their sound with this one, 10/10 all killer no filler
Great album from start to finish, but not sure if it's aoty for me, I still feel like Boundaries took it this year. Probably upopular opinion but some ppl hyped it up way too much, still great listen tho. Moss Covers All/Take Me Home was amazing, appreciate experimentation on this one
A sub 30-min album of pure anger and pain, and it's the perfect length. Was not a KL fan, but jfc they got me good with this album.
Hi, I like your jacket
And your channel/work btw
Thank you and thank you/thank you!
I was waiting for the slaughterhouse 2 since i knew it'll be released, but listening it for the first time wasn't that great as I thought it to be. BUT THE WHOLE ALBUM IS SOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD
Done 4 listen throughs so far, it gets better every time. By far the best album all the way through in quite some time.
This album did more for metal than just trying to be heavy its so good front to back
definitely my album of the year, absolutely phenomenal
Bogdan x Knocked Loose collab when?!
I think slaughterhouse takes away from the album experience and theme. It’s a part 2 of a feature from a different album completely, it is a banger on its own don’t get me wrong. But for me it took me out of the experience I believe this album wants to convey.

Boundaries AOTY then Knocked Loose…both albums were incredible. Boundaries just gave me a little something a little more diverse
I still got Boundaries over this for AOTY, but this is a great album too!
this album is a 9.5/10, it was so good but so short….hopefully they supirse us with like a part 2 or sum
I'm probably going to be controversial here, but as good as this album is, I don't think it is album of the year. I think Boundaries cemented themselves with that one, their album had more variety and if I am being honest this new Knocked Loose album isn't even their best work. Still fire tho.

Not controversial at all. Boundaries 100% have AOTY. Album was a masterpiece
100% brother
I think the same, but to be fair with all the hype around the album knocked loose kinda exceeded the expectations for me and the album is a certified short and sweet banger
We got the longest and the shortest song of Knocked Loose in one album
The calm that keeps you awake is the same as Māngekyo by Alpha Wolf!😟
The breakdowns are kinda similar but the feel is pretty different. The breakdown is a lot more like the end of explosia by Gojira.
Knocked loose, take me home, to the place I belong!!
This album is sick and they deserve the attention they’re getting.
It’s my number 2 for AOTY for me.
LIKE MOTH TO FLAMES ALBUM REACTION WHEN???
I can't believe this album is as good as it ended up being... this is KL and Alpha Wolf's year for sure
i'll be honest, boundaries are still my aoty. but god damn did this album bludgeoned me to death chris KILLED it on slaughter house 2 and surprisingly take me home is one of my favorites on the album.
