![New Direction For AVENGED SEVENFOLD? they are BACK!! with their New Song " Nobody " [ Reaction ]](/img/n.gif)
It's so sad to me, to hear people diss this track. It may not be the best track they've ever released but it has so much depth. I personally feel like the tone of the song as a whole is very fitting when you look at the subject matter. (For those who may not know, the album is inspired by the writing and philosophy of Albert Camus.)
I love A7X and commend them for trying new stuff 23 years into their career, but there is no way this is their best track lol
@gordon6684 never claimed it was. I just wish people wouldn't be so negative about it not being their best track. Since when did everyone develop such unrealistic expectations? It's a good song. The arrangement is great. It's unique in the way it combines all these different elements.
Same.. I'm a 20yr plus A7X fan. At first listen I was kina put off too. But damn, this track has grown on me. I've never heard anything like it. It's so intricate and layered.. I'm 100% blown away. So stoked to hear A7X go out on a limb like this, it's very refreshing. So creative and amazing.
De nombreuses personnes sont abrutis.... Avenged sevenfold arrive à une maturité et à une recherche de composition très pointue... Après avoir entendu cette chanson, j’ai été très surpris... et je suis très curieux d’entendre la suite de l’album.
i'm not a huge A7X fan and as a neutral i can say this is hands down the best song they ever released. Straight to my playlist.
I absolutely love this song.👍🏻 lots of layers, and just amazing!!!!!!
It’s not digital, it’s a real recording of a trombone.
more i listen to it more i get addicted to it, but first time hearing it was so weird and mixed emotions that i instantly started listening to it on repeat. it has so many layers that it's imposiible to catch everything at once, every more listen reveals every little secret they put in this song. it's gonna be long three months before we get album (especially after teasing us with this "controversial" song) but god damn this song will get me throu that time quickly. i am greatful to be fan of a band that isn't scared of changes and doing "unpopular" stuff.
I enjoy this song more and more every time I listen to it! Agreed, you have to fully immerse yourself to get everything out of this song. Reminds of Mastodon. Not the sound but the progression in the song structure. I'm pumped for the new album!
I know the lyrics to this video/song now and I really enjoy this song
Yes yes, its true, im agree. first time i hear the song i feel what the.. Why the song like this, but this so addic.
Leave it A7X to push the boundaries of modern metal. #legends
This song is a masterpiece. First time I listened to it I liked it but I was like man I’m not sure how I feel about it like how much I like it.
Now after hearing it now on repeat since it came out. It is a 10/10 masterpiece.
8:28 No, they had a 50 piece orchestra for the album. It's a real brass.
I still think it's digital or maybe it's a real brass mixed with something synthetic
@@simonlepooh Maybe something is put on the brass to make it sound more "robotic" but it's confirmed info that they had a 50 piece orchestra for the album so must be a real one.
@@igorpodemski9596 yeah I know they had an orchestra but it doesn't it's was used for everything
@@simonlepooh on their podcast they talk about how they mic'd the brass really close up to get that super intense sound they have in the song
@@simonlepooh on their recent podcast the singer said everything is real on this song. The guitar player said that the guitar solo was supposed to be a violin solo
Best solo syn has ever written in my opinion. Absolutely LOVE this song
That entire outro could be studied, its magnificent.
This solo gives me chills.
For real syn killed it on this track
I feel this song so much, for some reason it resonates with me!! Can’t wait for this album drop! The world needs Avenged!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
The reason this is so amazing is that they built an intricate, nuanced, deep meaning song with only 2 notes. It may be my favorite a7x song.
Mine too. I adore it. And people talking so much shit on it. Pisses me off.
I could be totally wrong, but my interpretation of the song is that this is about how our entire universe might just be a figment of our imagination, and that nothing actually exists. Since we cannot prove "we" actually exist definitively, it could just be that our entire life is just a dream.
Lyrics such as the chorus" I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything. I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head" lead me to believe this, how everything can just be our imagination and we are not a person but rather an entire universe.
In the beginning the skeleton comes out of the man's body, and I think that is him "realizing" this reality, breaking free from his body and observing the "fake" world around him (everyone is frozen in time, price tags on flowers and barcodes on the bottom of rocks). Similarly, maybe the man had just died in the chair, and the rest of the video is kind of like a "Game Over" screen with him learning about the world he thought was real the whole time.
I think the title "Nobody" means we might not actually be a real person.
I had a similar idea but yours sounds more complete.💯
my interpretation on the lyrics that you mentioned is more about someone reaching enlightment. or that has reached enlightment...
From A7X page: "The video is old-school traditional stop motion for the most part. Myself and the band are big fans of this medium - it seemed just right for the track. I had a lot talks with Matt and Zacky and eventually we came to the concept, look, and feel. Production started in early January, and over 8 weeks we built these huge incredibly complex sets in two different scales, painted 100s of tiny skeletons, and brought the whole thing to life. Stop motion is an intense, slow, and old process, and working fast over a short time frame can be tricky, but we had a great crew who were dedicated to getting this done - I really can't thank them enough. I've done a lot of stop frame videos over the years, but this is one of my favorites to date." - Director, Chris Hopewell
To me, the interpretation of the music video is this:
A man is depressed in the world and body he lives in. So his soul travels around the earth and through history to find peace and joy. He realizes that the world is full of death and destruction and so meets the devil who then tells him he will take the man's soul to a eutopic paradise. The man agrees and lets the devil take him to this eutopic paradise in a different world. When the man arrives he realizes that this "perfect place" is actually an artificially created hell where no one else exists and everything is fake (because a perfect artificial eutopic world does not actually exists). And so the mans soul runs to the edge of this hell and jumps off into the space time continuum to then rejoin his body. The moral of the story is to be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. Be careful searching for paradise because what you think is paradise might actually be hell in the end.
I think the video is definitely tied into the song. Havent dug deep into the lyrics yet but there seems to be a general idea that we are all the same. We are all skeletons in meat suits going to work and living life pretending to be somebodies, but in fact we are all "Nobody". This distinction being implied to be the core reason for why we fight each other, and those who can't deal find fake distractions to run away to in life. i.e. a wonderland where everything still has price tags. Very much fits the tone of what The Stage was going for. Loved this song. Cannot wait for the new album. These things always get better when you get to hear how they fit into the whole album.
i am reading the lyrics now and what i kinda got from it is this- Its about a human being that accepts the fact that he isnt special but has reached enlightement....so they accept the fact that they are in reality nobody but also part of a bigger being and existance. something like that
You need to listen to it a lot to appreciate it
Love the genuine review. Honestly the first time I heard it didn’t like it but quickly grew on me.
I think it's a logical conclusion of the Stage
Ilove everything about this song.... I can't wait for June 2nd
M. Shadows said a while back that sonically, Kanye West was a big inspiration going into this album. And you can definitely tell. 808’s and Heartbreak / MBDTF’s blueprint is all over this track with the industrial and electronic brass + the drumming on the high-hat
also the part with the vocal harmonies isolated sounds a lot like Kids See Ghosts especially the ones in Freee
It's also structurally quite similar to hip hop. There's no real chorus here - it's essentially two verses (and then a solo, which isn't very hip hop lol).
@@sVieira151 thats kinda what I like about it. It’s yet again another A7X album with the core band sound in a new context
@@sVieira151 MBDTF has several guitar solos. Gorgeous, Power, Devil in a New Dress at least all have one.
Also the arpeggios in the guitar are very reminiscent of Hell of a Life. Pretty cool imo.
100% agree on the mix. You guys are the first people I’ve heard mention the mixing issues.
The Spotify version to me sounds much, much better than the music video version
He was going for a different vocal style with this album, the vocals are supposed to convey a feeling of anxiety and tension as the song lyrics are about the idea of existence and how meaningless finding meaning in life is, this song specifically is about how you are the world and everything, the song is supposed to sound full of anxiety about life and lack of purpose
I've heard his vocals are different because he'd had a vocal tear (and the surgery to repair it).
@@dekuscrub7423 from what I've seen from vocal "experts" is that the new style of singing does indeed come with the benefit of being easier on his throat, but he said himself on the Trax podcast that he wanted the album to be one the fans could really sing along with, my guess is he was going for vocals that would really fit a live show
imo i think this is about reaching enlightment and about how we are part of the cosmos, since we are made out of star stuff thru the big bang theory. the lyrics "I'm the God,I'm awake,I'm the one in everything,I'm alive,I'm the dead,I'm a man without a head" and this human also accepts that we are part of a bigger thing and in theory this person is NOBODY (kinda like the quote from Chuck Palahniuk in Fight Club "you are not special..." good video
Love this song, I even did a reaction to it live in my car 🤣
Gotta give you credit here, it's hard to rate on the first approach. But after a 2nd, 3rd listen, this MASTER PIECE will start growing on you. I listen to this multiple times a day now. The video itself is epic (and I think it's depicting the way a lot of people are feeling now-a-days). I give it a solid 10. Cheers all yee!
French Horn! Hello Gentlemen!
It's so much better to listen to when it isn't paused every 30 seconds. Easier to follow and understand
Music is a wonderful thing, you can have a diehard fan hating this track and even the stage back then, giving the Linkin park situation all over again. This song sounds so "bare" but it's hard hitting, even if people don't like it, the MV... the artist behind it did a super cool job with this... Imagine the work!!!!
LP is irrelevant
One person can see the art in this song even though he doesn't understand it fully and the other...well... smooth in the noggin lol
Calling it art seems like a nice way to say that it isn't good
@Kohl McMullen to guys like you maybe, another smooth one. No, art means it transcend more than just what's at face value, you goofy dude
"What?.. This not Hail to King... Song Sucks..".. #smooth
Its not a sample its a natural horn with the mic in the horn
Cool, dude.
@15:00 i think what this skeleton that was wondering thru life wanted was to find heaven and the reaper droppped him off there and he found out that heaven doesnt really exist. or its manufactured....it can also be tied into consumerism maybe?
I think the flower area scene is him arriving to heaven and realizing that heaven is made up to get money from believers.....buy your way to the pearl gates
My take is he commits suicide, proceeds to see life as is (a chaotic mess), the grim reaper comes to take him to the after life and upon arriving the main skeleton sees that it's not what he was expecting. That looks are deceiving (hence the price tag confusion). So the skeleton is upset with his decision trying to get back to his body and upon his return to his body he is reminded that this is it, there's no turning back. So he sits back into his body trying to feel what once was.
The song is awesome beautiful. It’s a story and awesome. Can’t appreciate the instrumental find it’s beautiful. Think it’s crazy at the first heavy guitar. And mats vocals are great. To me he did great. F##k you putting down Matt
It's a panzer soldat from COD Zombies franchise
I like a lot of A7X and im not a fan of the rest. They built this song up on the local radio station for like a week, reminded me of old school radio where the whole audience tuned in at a certain hour to hear the new stuff like they use to do back in the 80's and 90's. I was driving, i cranked it, loved the purge horn, was confused about the rest. Once it went off i turned the radio off. Didnt like the flow.
I watched the video later after work and liked it a bit more. Everytime it came on the radio i would crank it and hear something new. Now its close to top five for me after dozens of times listening and the same watching reactions. Top five with Bat Country, BatH, Critical Acclaim, Nightmare, Hail to the King and Shepherd of Fire because they all go there even though i said five. I like a lot if the other ones as well besides the fanboi favorites of Little Piece of Heaven because it felt campy to me. Wasnt shocking, just silly.
I didnt like "The Stage" at all. Probably listened to it once and threw it in the trash along with Slipknot's "All Hope Is Gone".
As Britney Griner says about the national anthem now, this one just hits different. Im glad because i thought A7X was headed for normalcy, but they needed this change. They needed fans ti hate this so they could love it again. Ultimately they do this for the fans and they leave it all on stage. I do wish they would put a little bit more theatrics into their shows as they evolve but they do keep the interaction og as when they started.
Calling it now, this will be one of those songs that they play live and Shadows wont have to say a word due to the crowd.
Itz ben 7 yrs bruvz 🤘
Time flies. 😭
First time listening it sounds great but hard to hear lyrics, more digging allows us to really enjoy the song. If you don't do more digging into lyrics and meaning then it won't be as good. I see this song as an intro song or a highlight film, possibly soundtrack.
Is that a guitar synth I hear?
Guitar.. Drop C.
@@Torquemonster440 I thought it was in dropped D 🤔
@@scramblesthedeathdealer this one is in C. I know, different from the usual.
@@Torquemonster440 I played the opening 2 chords and was pretty sure it was D# then D, I even used a guitar synth pedal, I thought it sounded spot on, I posted a short.
🌊🌈🏊
The skull kill himself and we watch the journey of his soul
Your opinion might carry more weight if you understood 1st grade addition. It's been 7 years bud.. and really ? We need to hear Hail to the King again ??.. That mindset is why radio is dead.... meanwhile A7X continues to push forward. One constant with this band is that they're ever evolving.This song is the most refreshing piece of art I've seen or heard in years. Combined with the video, I'm completely blown away. I've never heard anything like it. For A7X to drop something this fresh,this far down
the line speaks volumes to their abilities as craftsman. Amazing.
I agree with the 5.7 this isn't their best but I'm confident there will better songs on the album
Also your guys pause timing is the worst in reactors history lmao
Cool. Thanks for watching.
Disagree with you when you stated the first songs they put out to promote their albums are not their best.
The stage
hail to the king
nightmare
Etc…
Those are all heavy hitters !!!!
Going by this, it doesn’t give me much hope that the rest of the album will be better than this disappointing track we just got.
the stage is probably in the top 3 best songs on that album, yes, but the rest... Well, HTTK is way too basic and gets boring very fast. Coming Home, Planets, Acid Rain and Requiem are much better. As for Nightmare, the single is alright, but you also have songs like Save me, Victim and Buried Alive. That's why I'm optimistic about the rest. A7X are known for not having filler songs or almost none, and for their deeper cuts.
@@simeondobrev5835 Yep. The Stage is definitely in my Top 10 songs of all time for A7X. HTTK and Nightmare might make Top 50. Might. Anyways, I am confident this album will be amazing. Feels like a continuation of The Stage...I guarantee we will see a lot more prog influence, don't know if the industrial will continue on the album, I feel like it was probably just gonna be something that sets this song apart.
The first single they released on the stage was dose not stage
Trying to be optimistic 😜
Well those are all title tracks as well. Their lead single for City of Evil was Burn it Down (literally the worst song on the album)
