  • @MrJordwalk
    @MrJordwalk 4 роки тому +36

    I think Prog is the best kind of Metal there is, because there's limitless creative freedom. Bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, Gojira, Ne Obliviscaris, Between The Buried And Me, The Contortionist, TesseracT, Periphery, Alcest, Mastodon, Protest The Hero, Intronaut, Intervals and Native Construct (to name a few) DON'T SOUND AT ALL ALIKE, but the staggering degrees of difference between them are a testament to how vast the genre is.
    I would LOVE to see you react to the entirety of Between The Buried And Me's "Colors". You reacted to "Ants Of The Sky" a while ago, but that was a poor recommendation, because that 'song' is smack in the middle of Colors 'track listing' and also happens to be the connective mid-section of a meta-trilogy (Sun Of Nothing, Ants Of The Sky, Prequel To The Sequel), so that's why it sounds directionless. The 'tracks' on Colors CAN be enjoyed individually, but they are better experienced as parts of a grand whole than as individual songs, because BTBAM wrote "Colors" as a single 62-minute long composition and listening to it in a single sitting, front to back, without pausing IS THE BEST WAY of experiencing this project! IN FACT, I'LL PAY $75 FOR YOU TO DO IT! XD

    This band was from my hometown. Spent my high school years watching them perform and perfect this album in the cruddiest venues ever but making it always sound beautiful and heavy. It was cool to see the crowd go from Moshing and heavy to hugging and just enjoying the calmer sections in bliss. This era or TC will always hold a special place in my heart. I have seen a lot of death metal, slam, deathcore, djent, and down tuned bands but this era of The Contortionist just hit Harder than anything I have ever heard live. Not to be fucked with. Indianapolis proud ✊

    Thanks Daniel lol
    Exoplanet is my favorite album by The Contortionist. It's on up there in my All Times as well. I first heard this when I was 15, and I was blown away. It was EXTREMELY HEAVY to me, and when the clean part(s) came in, I teared up, haha. I'm so glad you guys liked it. This is one of those unique bands where you absolutely have to hear more. Each album is different from the last. The album Language, I think, you will absolutely love.

    Ive seen them live 4 times now about to see them a 5th time here in march with Haken and Devin Townsend. I never get tired of seeing them live. They still to this day are one of my top favorite bands in the world. They are also the nicest group of guys you can meet they even let me take pictures with them. I also own all of their albums lol, i would highly recommend listening to either Return To Earth or Monochrome(Pensive) from their latest full length if you want to hear how they have evolved after all these years.
    Loved the reaction guys this was actually my first song by them aswell lol

    Wow... I have to admit I unsubscribed to your channel due to the sound quality getting so bad... This video Not only has one of the best bands that you have ever reacted too but the sound quality was at another level. This band has gone through several singers but have always impressed. Amazing Musicians...They are continually going through a Metamorphosis. You would probably love the latest stuff. Language 1, Intuition, Language 2 would set you free. They have a new album Our Bones which is really evolved from what your hearing on this song. I am re-subscribing right now!!! Damn I loved you all so much and then it seemed to be going somewhere else.. Not sure how to describe it. Just evolution I guess. … What a redemption. All the best!!!

    Two points. First, as sort of prog-snob elitist artsy fartsy type, The Contortionist are awful. One of the most milquetoast bands in modern prog. No wonder so many musically illiterate dumdums love them. I bet you're also the types that order your steaks well done.
    Second, rofl @ Sori calling Vin a person that understands nuance. That might be one of the funniest things anyone has ever said. Sori should do stand up.
