This is a terrific radio friendly song and I honestly hope it makes waves and draws alot of people in to check them out and discover what else they can do.
That's exactly what I thought with Circle With Me. They are looking to expand their audience and that leads to playing in front of larger crowds on larger tours. "Fans" might complain but they deserve more recognition and they can't get that staying in the same place.
I agree!! Is the opening of electric cross bass? That's what it sounds like to me but I've seen some ppl sayinf that it's guitar. Sounds too huge to be a guitar imo.
Constance does it for me with the drums that just pierce through all that emotion and I absolutely love how there's like a bazillion time changes every song
Spiritbox is doing a thing that makes them stand out amongst all the other artists. Each song is unique, powerful and emotional. 10/10 would continue to listen
What are they doing different? People hate when bands who actually had a developed sound make this radio trash. For example some songs on the new Architects got hate for being softer as well as A Day To Remember. The production quality and riffs arn’t special either. Bruh yall just simping for that girl with the huge jaw
I love how this scratches both the melodic and catchy itch, in addition to the delicious musically complex itch at the same time. That bass work in this song!
Gotta thank you both here Nik, because I discovered Spiritbox through your Holy Roller Reaction and am now a diehard fan, having merch and preordered the vinyl Spiritbox, for their one of a kind music that helped me a lot these last months So thanks to all of you 💙
I’ve been going through some tough shit lately and this music is what I need. As much as I love metal these melodies and harmonies are what I so desperately need to get lost in. Thank you Nik and Spiritbox 🌹🌹🌹
This is far from my favorite spiritbox song, but it's still a damn good song.. so much better than most of the songs in my playlists. And that just speaks to how amazing they are. I hope they maintain this awesome balance of heavier tracks with slower/emotionally heavy songs.
Every sub genre metal is following a very narrow path, and here’s Spiritbox, way out in front just doing all of it better than everyone. The bassline with the pitch shifted 7 string makes the low end sound so insane. Love it. I’m highly anticipating “Yellowjacket” featuring Sam Carter. Courtney has said she feels that’s the heaviest track on the new record, and Sam Carter on anything is just unreal.
@@benrideout1191 I’m talking about what Mike is playing. It’s almost a call and response sort of thing between him and Bill on this one. Everyone things it’s just a bassline, so I’ve referenced it as such.
I love how lots of their songs Courtney's vocals are like therapeutic then bass and drums are absolutely shredding in the background. 🙌 You can hear every instrument so clear. Like peace and chaos together in harmony
Yeah this band wins. I think they’re arguably the most talented band in 2022, not just with Courtney’s absolutely gorgeous vocals, but with the musicianship as a whole. And the bassist has to be one of the bests in the world, he’s so goddamn underrated
This song blew me away the first time I heard it! The ambience in this song is spine tingling and that legato is fire and, the chords are just crunchy as hell! Courtney's voice just brings it all together, you can't not love her voice! She is a goddess!
YES! I mentioned on Joao's livestream that the clean taps had a solid Tosin vibe. Regardless of that, I do love the restraint in this track. Simple but a lot of conplexity between the layers they've implemented. I've seen a lot of comments sadly lamenting because of how "generically composed" or "radio friendly" this is, but it would be such a waste for a band like this to not explore this direction. It's the same sentiment as to why I like ERRA's self-titled so much, so I reckon I'll find it very difficult to decide which will be my favourite 2021 album when Spiritbox drops theirs this September.
I'm so looking forward to their album and it's one day short of my birthday as well! I love that's going to be so varied with Constance and Holy Roller and anything inbetween those extremes, and yet all so cohesively the same band. They deserve to be the great band of the 2020's and beyond and are the flagship of modern metal for me.
Love the Tonsin Abasi reference. Also Mike has switched to a full Abasi Concepts 8 string now. You can even see him plaging one in the video for Circle with me.
This song really hits close to home, it’s one of the best songs ever made. I love Spiritbox and Courtney’s vocals so much and they evoke a strong feeling of catharsis within me. This song especially makes me feels this :))
I remember being extremely hungover one day and just scrolling to pass the time when Holy Roller showed up in my feed. This band instantly blew me away and they keep surprising.
I can't believe I just found this band like 2 weeks ago! I haven't stopped listening! Her voice is so hypnotizing, especially in rule of nines. So happy I found them!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Lmfao "thats a weird frame to pause it on" 😂🤣💀 bruhhh you crack me up, love the content and everything that you do. Spiritbox is definitely top tier rn
@@bluejaysforever3627 hard disagree there. This will be the song that breaks them into local and regional radio stations. It’s not meant to be anything more than that, and they did an unreal job of putting together an arrangement that still shows what they can do without being abrasive to audiences that don’t listen to that sort of stuff.
I love what spirit box are doing, even though I love the older heavier stuff.. i gotta admit I do love this new stuff.. and by doing what they’re doing now they’re allowing to reach out to loads more people so they aren’t stuck only showing off to one crowd .. they’re expanding, I can’t wait for this album aha the tracks so far have been banger after banger.
Spiritbox makes me think of great outdoors and landscapes, just looking at the infinite and in awe of the universe and nature. I don't know if that makes sense, but this is how they make me feel. Beautiful and intense music, just like nature.
I haven't even watched the original yet. Nik you're probably the only person that I watch reaction first - then original. Excited for the album and more reactions from the boi!
Spiritbox has been growing to be one of my favorite bands and I know it’s very different reaction suggestion but check out the new as it is song “idgaf”
GOT SOME NEIGHS IN HERE
Let’s see these neighs open the pit!
You deed it!
I have to ask you why do you like this band they are so whack and I don’t get it not a fan
"Ambience is king"
Nik speaking facts as he's vibing
Are you Omnipresent or is their a massive overlap in the videos I watch????
I litteraly saw memes about this guy 😂
Grow a mustache
Not even Nik Nocturnal videos are safe anymore
i find you on videos by the largest youtubers i watch and the smallest youtubers i watch and everywhere in between. hi

I wouldn't call it "radio friendly" but it's definitely pushing towards being more mainstream.
@@KeepTheGates idk what you consider radio friendly but "mainstream" and "radio friendly" are kinda one in the same
@@evilfantasy69 completely agree. Plus this is just them experimenting and displaying the vast range of abilities they have
If this is what "radio friendly" song sounds like, I'd start listening to the radio. 😏
I LOVE the mix on Spiritbox's songs. You can hear all of the musicians so well, and I'm a huge fan of the mix on the bass. So chunky!
I agree!! Is the opening of electric cross bass? That's what it sounds like to me but I've seen some ppl sayinf that it's guitar. Sounds too huge to be a guitar imo.
@@noahbecker1082 both this song and electric cross, it's Mike on guitar. Bill holds the rhythm.
I'm a drummer and absolutely lose my shit over Spiritbox drums but the bass is so Fn chunky always
Constance does it for me with the drums that just pierce through all that emotion and I absolutely love how there's like a bazillion time changes every song
I thought the vocals were a little drowned out in this mix. However, I would normally agree with you!
Spiritbox has doubled their powers since the last time we met, Nik.
Tripled, first constance then circle with me now this
@@ZepyhrLight "Good, triple the pride, triple the fall."
A surprise to be sure, but welcome one.
So civilized
@@TenaciousJoe24 unlike the world leaders
Those Animals as Leaders' riffs in the verses got me *GOOD*

Bruh yall just simping for that girl with the huge jaw
Qwerty is right, this song is awful, the last song was awful too
Nik is just simping hard ahaha
@@shennen8331 na you both are absolutely wrong af and probably expect everything to be heavy sounds boring
@@MrRaven420 no, this song is literally basic and boring as fuck
@K R or... what I’m saying is right and you just don’t like it
It's always "yes" when Spiritbox drops something.
I think Spiritbox are going to be a pretty important band over the years
I love how this scratches both the melodic and catchy itch, in addition to the delicious musically complex itch at the same time. That bass work in this song!
That's Mike on guitar. Bill is just playing the basic rhythm. They did that on Electric Cross as well.
That Chill Riff Down gave me the chills...
"I'm not a bassist, but it sounds like he's using the fingers"
I can not stop listening to this song; It is so good.
*tree lights up*
Nik: "Its a power plant!"
Me while vibing to the song : "Hehe ok that was good"
Soon Nik's intro is going to be only a series of weird noises
Noises be GOOOOOD
The epitome of FEELS are REALS! Somehow this song hits hard while being smooth and comforting.
Petition to change “if banger” to
“ w h e n banger, Spotify playlist” since Spiritbox doesn’t know how to put out a bad song apparently
Nice Leprous profile picture ;)
@@TheOpytimusEX leprous is bae
Did anyone else really want to hear an extended bridge with an epic novelists or periphery style guitar solo??? Man I hear it strong.
Mark Holcomb shredding on this would be amazing.
Gotta thank you both here
Nik, because I discovered Spiritbox through your Holy Roller Reaction and am now a diehard fan, having merch and preordered the vinyl
Spiritbox, for their one of a kind music that helped me a lot these last months
So thanks to all of you 💙
I'm finally there!!!!!!
Nik: 46 seconds ago
Me: *clicking intensifies*
I’ve been going through some tough shit lately and this music is what I need. As much as I love metal these melodies and harmonies are what I so desperately need to get lost in. Thank you Nik and Spiritbox 🌹🌹🌹
Don’t worry friend ! Everything gets better in the end ! You will be better ! I pray for you and I hope that you’ll soon have good times again !
Mike sure does love his tippy tappy leads. Next song he'll be doing it on a mandolin or a 12 string or something.
That’d be awesome if he does that.
The time has come for Nik to guest on a Spiritbox track.
This is far from my favorite spiritbox song, but it's still a damn good song.. so much better than most of the songs in my playlists. And that just speaks to how amazing they are. I hope they maintain this awesome balance of heavier tracks with slower/emotionally heavy songs.
2:43 the way nik said chorus hahaha
And his "Naice"))
"Where are we going?"
Into the breakdown garden!

The bassline is on a bass, not a pitch shifted guitar, but agree it's an amazing bassline.

I just love that chorus so fucking much. Deffo my fav chorus from them so far
"Tosin Abasi Shit" = SpiritAnimals , the mashup you didn't know you wanted
hahahahah 🤣😂 that's amazing!! this needs to happen now 😁😁😁
One of my top favorite Spiritbox songs along with Blessed Be! Such an amazing band I always look forward to amazing stuff by them!!
Amazing song. Older SB vibes. Trust Fall is one of my favs and this kinda brought me back there. Super happy. Love Courtney in songs like this.
Absolutely love this, such a great blend of sounds.
I love that this is the most socially acceptable single they've put out, and it STILL slaps.
Hes hilarious "you got to riff me like that right away".
I haven’t been this excited for an album for a very long time
This is really very well put together...nice Tosin Abasi vibes in there...her vocals really carry the song well and it's just 🔥💯 loved it!!!

Nik nocturnal: Ambience is King

ERRA: Did someone say my name?
Jesse cash intensifies
Was so excited to see your reaction to this. This track is a certified banger.
I can't believe I just found this band like 2 weeks ago! I haven't stopped listening! Her voice is so hypnotizing, especially in rule of nines. So happy I found them!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
"Chill-Riffdown" my new favorite term
Honestly Nik these videos are the only way I ever know when Spiritbox releases a new song. It's also the only place I hear about new Termina songs
Haha great reaction man 🔥🤘🏻
Spiritbox feat Nik Nocturnal would be mind blowing !
This is going to be fully stuck in my head until the rest of the album comes out!
Lmfao "thats a weird frame to pause it on" 😂🤣💀 bruhhh you crack me up, love the content and everything that you do. Spiritbox is definitely top tier rn
BANGER after BANGER🤘🔥 I’m so hyped for the Album !
Spiritbox is going to take over the industry! Unstoppable!
Discovered so many bangers since I came across you on here Nik, thanks for the content, it's awesome as always.
He did 4.5/5 because y’all gave him shit. In his heart tho. It’s a 5
Thou this song is not worth a 5 way to "pop" like vocally mainly in the chorus. I loved the 1st 3 songs this was not great

I feel like circle with me deserves a 5 more than this but yeah people should let him rate it the way he wants
Def the song that caught my attention. My favorite Mike riff by far, esp during the verse. Such a melodic,bouncy feel i guess.
Love your channel. It's hard to find great bands with so much content out now. More often than not, i find new favorites here. Thanks Nik
My new favorite band!!! Can't wait for the album.

As everithing unfold please 😄
this song is fire. i havent stopped listing to it since i came across it
YES! been waiting all day for this video
Would love to see some reactions to their older stuff, The Mara Effect, Bleach Box, etc!
This NEEDS to be the next song you learn and do a cover of. SERIOUSLY :)
They just kicking ass left and right
Drinking game: take a shot every time Nik acclaims Courtney
Blessed with another banger 🙏🏻
I love this band!!
I love watching Nik fall in love everytime he watches a Spiritbox video haha
Courtney's cleans have become so amazing!
Soon as the strings hit i applauded mike and bill 👏🏻 straight slaps
I immediately pre-ordered one of their fancy looking LPs when I saw them. I have full confidence the entire album will be a banger.
so far i think this is my favorite track.. this song just screams spiritbox.. fav song overall is electric cross. Cant wait for the new album
Spiritbox drops a new song Nik Nocturnal: *peaks mic*
Riff Chilldown. THATS the word I was looking for.
That opening riff is everything
Goosebumps from first second
Spiritbox has been growing to be one of my favorite bands and I know it’s very different reaction suggestion but check out the new as it is song “idgaf”
First time listening. Oh. My. Gawd! Their prowess is amazing!
This band wins indeed. Put my preorder in today!
This is my favorite Spiritbox song!!
