Thanks for watching the video REACTING and TALKING ABOUT the NEW Avenged Sevenfold! We Love You - Official Music Video Reaction - Розваги
Agree with what I say? Think I'm out to lunch? Come tell me on Twitch 😉
www.twitch.tv/chainbrain
I actually really respect a7x for making this album, they dont just pump out the music people expect them to make, instead they do whatever the fuck they want and its seriously awesome to me.
also there are a lot of people who love this song, but it is definitely out there. just like how mr bungle has a very specific audience that loves their stuff.
As an absolutely massive A7X fan, when I heard the beginning I thought it was bad, but as the song progressed it only got better for me. That thrash section is so cool
Facts
Yeah that intro is straight garbage but I dig the chugging riff. The thrash breakdown was awesome, and hearing Shadows scream again was a pleasant surprise
It improves with a couple more listens, but it doesn't even reach the feet of the previous album
Yeah I wasn't super into the chopped up vocals bit, though I didn't hate it, I really liked the rest of the song though. Its different and I like that. I really don't want the same old metalcore riffs and sound.
The intro is supposed to lull you into a state then the badass bass drum part takes over. They hit a homerun on this song. It's way different but takes you through a story. Just say We love you to the haters haha....
Let's just say, drugs were involved.
Honestly it sounds like they scrapped a bunch of songs, then stitched the best parts to make this
@@skunklinglisten to it 3 more times. The structure is very evident
@@skunkling 100% facts
matt even said that the album is like about getting into dmt stuff, buddish practices , and breaking from reality and turning into ADHD core , keep changing songs and turning the whole thing into a experience .
I appreciate your thoughts on this. Not everyone going to like these kind of changes. Personally it is so weird to hear this for the first time, but after listening for a few times it does grow on me. But kudos to you for saying the truth.
instead of building into the chorus like normal they just told people it was building lol
Lol
10:47 can't say I agree.
If I hadn't given some prog bands a few listens after not liking them initially, it wouldn't have become my favorite genre
As an avenged fan that's also a big fan of Mr Bungle and Primus and Pinkly smooth... Dude this hits just right for me. I feel for fans coming at this from a metalcore perspective, since this is Not going to hit for them and I totally get that sense of disappointment
Exactly I love mr bungle so this is amazing imo
Avenged hasn't been metalcore for 20 years. People need to stop viewing the band from a metalcore lense. They've transcended that genre for a very long time now and have created creative music that they want to make. Let close-minded metalcore fans seethe.
First time i listened to this, i immediately said mr bungle but a7x lol
@@Iamthezackster I'll admit to some schadenfreude myself, in the name of 'Avenged Sevenfold, pissing off metalcore since June 6, 2005 😂
I'm more of a 'core' person myself but find myself loving these new singles, really looking forward to the rest of the album!
After a few listens it really grew on me
I really like everything about it
I agree the “more” parts were really weird but it fits with what the song is portraying
This was a banger for me from day one, nobody is like Lost or Sunny disposition, not a Spotify song
Lol this song is an absolute piece of art.. You bet your ass they will have giant crowds chanting MORE and BUILD for each of those sections.
All I got to say is I have a feeling if you come in this album with expectations your gonna be disappointed. This album is most likely highly experimental
Which i think is a bs move. A band shouldn't make fans wait 6-7 years for an album and then not even know if anyones gonna like it
@@ryanlarrabee9811 a band should make the music they want to make as long as they are happy and satisfied with it, whether is their debut album or their eight album
@@manulogiudice Again don't make your fans wait 6-7 years tho. Because I'm telling you even though I like it, releasing the stage and then this is what's gonna be the death of A7X getting any new followers
@@ryanlarrabee9811 I don’t think that’s gonna be the case. Metallica released a bunch of albums that people didn’t like after they became big and are still known today as one of the biggest metal bands out there. Also this albums isn’t for catering to the fans. It feels almost like a passion project for the band and there having fun with it. Maybe old fans won’t like it but maybe new fans will. This album isn’t gonna be the death of this band.
@@ryanlarrabee9811 You are not owed anything from the band lmfao
I think that part was replayed the most because it takes people by surprise and because it's Matt screaming again. Nothing to do with it being "the old heavy stuff people still want"
You sure about that? Some of these comments already on this video show otherwise lol
I mean, this as well, it's the only part of the song that sounds normal, screaming and fast riffs into a solo
as a big fan, thats just a lie, i love the experimental stuff (the stage is my favorite album) and i can tell you, the thrash part was by FAR the best part of the song
@@giovanni5954the entire song sounds normal bro. Youre not used to abrupt transitions but those are common in plenty genres
@@munchenonyou3774 nah
I think the reason why that part was the most replayed is because it’s the first time Shadows has screamed in god knows how long hell the screaming took me by surprise
What I got from this song/vid is the constant need for humans to want more of everything, which while good on the one hand, could lead to the detriment of society in the long-run (which is shown in the post-apocalyptic ending).
Now as far as this song growing on people, it definitely grew on me personally. My first listen I was more stunned and taken aback than anything, and because it was so weird I didn't care for it. But after two or three more times it grew on me because the strangeness of something I'm just not used to wore off.
I don't blame you at all for not liking the new prog style; it sure as shit isn't for everyone. And thanks for the honest review.
The riffs have always been what kept me a fan I love syn been my inspiration as a guitarist since I was in middle school
10:22 man, i had to listen to master of puppets like 10 times to get used to it, i didnt like metal, but every time i listened to the song again i started to liked it MOAR. You dont have to like a song at first sight at all
Devil's advocate, the most replayed part is the biggest difference in the musical style of the song with the worst/ most jarring musical transitions, not just that its the "heavy" part. The heavy part starts before the top of the curve. Definitely some people are just listening for the heavy, but i song think that fully explains it
As a prog metal fan, i often need a few listens for a song to really appreciate some songs, especially lyrics. There are definitely songs im not a fan of on first listen but by 3-5 i love them. And sometimes skip other songs on the same album. Everyone is different though.
I saw them live on area15 and man they put on a shown and this song sounds amazing live.
And the album it’s really good I can’t wait to hear it again
But I respect your opinions man wish I could watch you stream I’m stuck at work when you do it
I’ve heard this song a few times but this is my first time watching the video, and it makes a lot more sense
Really like this song. Seems they are full on going Mr. Bungle
Edit: five secs in and you mention Mr. Bungle. Ope lol
You just like to listen to the new stuff from everyone and play some badass geetar, love it !
Most accurate review I’ve heard 🤘🏼
This represents the second girlfriend of the first drummer before the rev
I just got back to my hotel after seeing A7X at Welcome to Rockville. The vocal style at the beginning seems to be Matt using a voice synthesizer. And it sounds really fun live. Matt also joked that the song was their bet that American Metalheads would dance to European style music.
Love you reaction, lol, that was me when the single dropped. Took understanding the meaning of the song and watching the live show appreciate the song. I now think this song is cool.
the fact you kept going back and forth with what you thought was exactly what they wanted to happen lol
I don't know that the "I didn't like it and then I listened a million times" people don't like it per se, but I don't think they super enjoy it. I mean, at least for me, whenever I listen to a song that's different and not what I'm normally into, my first thought isn't normally "I don't like this" its more of a "this is definitely different, I owe this another listen." Now one thing that I'll say, is I don't think A7X should have just given the fans exactly what they were expecting, because the fans are expecting more of the same, and I think that's just artistic stagnation. I think everyone is free to like or dislike whatever for pretty much whatever reason, but part of that, I don't think there's any objectivity in music or any art. I have people who I think are talented and I see why people like them, but they aren't really for me, like the Beetles, I don't really like the Beetles all that much, but I do get why a lot of people really like them.
Another point in comparing this song to previous songs, one of the fundamental truths of music, is that repetition legitimizes, repetition legitimizes, repetition legitimizes, repeti... We have gleaned every bit of meaning we can after 100 plays of Afterlife, or Nightmare, or The Stage. 1 listen of this song is not the same experience or a similar level of understanding.
as a sevenfold fan i love watching you talk shit about them
I agree with your takes, as for the part where you talked about Stockholm syndrome by repeating songs and ending up liking them, I can say that was how I felt about nobody. I enjoy the song now but I'm also not afraid to say it was one of their weaker ones for me, ultimately i think its an aquired taste, i never listened to the stage cause it was different, and have been listening to it recently and enjoyed the record! Looking forward to the full album though, hope we can get some more bangers
My experience with these two singles they dropped is that I didn’t necessarily enjoy nobody. But when this song dropped, I listen to it twice just trying to figure it out. Had no opinion of it just was purely trying to figure out what the fuck is going on then on the third listen, I was like this shits gas. It gives off an energy that no other song in my catalog gives off
I respect your opinions on the band, and I get why most people are turned away by the new direction, but me personally I love A7X and love the new songs. I see them in concert for the first time ever September 22nd and I’m so excited! Can’t wait for the new album and I hope it has at least one or two songs you may like or will try and play on your channel, love the vids though!
See ya ther brother!
I love the experimentation and I go in listening to the creativity in any song. This is like Led Zep influence and it’s musically fantastic because that’s actually the direction ever since the first time I heard them. They always talked about that, especially when they did the self titled album.
I personally really like the experimentation of this song and the chorus had become somewhat of a personal earworm. I’m a huge bungle fan so I think I’m more the audience for this since this album seems like its going to be more about building an atmosphere with electronic instruments rather than being a shred album like coe or a pop chart churning beast like nightmare or httk.
Ive said this before and Ill say it again: I wont draw any conclutions until the full album, i like this more than Nobody but its interesting...
This one clicked more instantly than nobody for some reason. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on it!
MOAR
I love BTBAM and other bands that take you on a wild ride in their songs, this song and Nobody definitely grew on me
I like when he says something halfway critical of the band someone hits him with "you don't understand the art of music". I actually like the experimentality of this track but come on :D
Mr bungle plus the stage, great for me
I remember watching the making of the self titled album (white album) and one of the members said something about one of their songs, "how will the fans like this music...wait...we're A7X, we can do whatever we want!" That statement is still true today. They can put out whatever you want as a band, it's up to the listeners to decide if they like it or not. Personally, the last few albums have been a miss with me. Maybe i am in the crowd of "make moar metal!" As that's how i knew them years ago. This song...i guess after seeing the music video, makes more sense. The audio alone was like tripping while being stone cold sober and i hated it (except for the most replayed part at 2:30-ish).
Here's my full take; i really didnt listen to anything off Hail to the King (even though i saw them in concert on that tour) and The Stage. Just thought it was too generic, and lost interest at the time. My friend is a huge A7X geek...hes the one that had me listen to this song in his car over the weekend. After it was over, i just looked at him, basically told him "dude i wanted to turn it off halfway through." He agreed with me, even as a massive A7X fan. You can love a band but not like every song and that's okay. It's what music is all about, it's a form of self expression, auditory art as i like to call it sometimes. The song definitely isn't for everyone...although i am curious to see where it's placed in the album, if they had made it into some type of concept album.
This song has good parts to it but the "more more more build build build" shit just ruins it completely for me. It sucks because it could have been a good song but they insist on being weird just for the sake of being weird, where in the past it felt like they were a way more "thought out" weird.
I'm glad you mentioned the Stockholm syndrome thing because it's definitely true rn in the a7x fanbase. It's been so long since we got new music from them so people try to desperately convince themselves it's the best thing they have ever heard and that they aren't disappointed.
Or people just like it because they do? Sounds to me more like there were pre conceived expectations for shit and then you bitch when they aren’t met. Unless the albums called city of evil part two, then I don’t expect city of evil. Trying to say “you guys are just pretending you actually like it” is just so blatantly wrong, tastes develop your whole damn life
The first time i listen i thought it was bad too but genuinely the second time i listen to it i couldn't get enough of it i keep listening to it on Spotify , so do i genuinely like it or no ?
your thought on this is very understandable and should be more said, me personally i really like the song and i completely respect anyone hating it.
People are perceiving the song in a weird way because they are expecting the same song template you would get from any average metal/rock song. You can generally guess when the chorus will come in or guess when the guitar riff will come in. But they specifically made the album in a un traditional fashion. They are keeping the listener on their toes such as in Nobody ending the song on a guitar solo. It's also very odd to say that someone doesn't like something because they gave it multiple listens before forming an opinion. Having to go back to a song multiple times to really get a feel for it is exactly what music should do when we listen. I love what they are doing with the new Album. Avenged is literally known for never making the same music. These guys have been giving us non stop hits for almost 3 decades, they don't have to give us WTF 2 or COE 2 we know they can make those style albums. Glad we are getting fresh music from one of the greatest bands ever.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it's inherently bad.
did he say that?
@@randomuser-vs3oe did he not shit on the song. Never said anything was wrong, just a general statement
us a7x fans are so starved for songs and not god damn NFTs that we go to anyone who aknowledges the band even exists
What's your deathbat look like? 🤣
i enjoy a7x, mostly older stuff and a few pre the stage things in between, and its nice to hear the opinion from someone whos not really a fan
"Mr Shadows just went through puberty" 🤣
I feel like the message being portrayed is more important than anyone's entertainment; which I appreciate.
did anyone even understood the message?
@@heinzjurgen7763 well to me, it just means we're being driven by primal desires with no end until it destroys us. The problem is that it just keeps repeating as if we haven't learned what this life is really all about and that our desire to accumulate more of everything ultimately leads us to a place where we lose it all regardless.
@@heinzjurgen7763coporate and individual greed destroying civilization. The repetitive "more's" are comparing to the corporate mindset of always growing. The "you're one in a million" refers to corporations offering the (more often than not) illusion of progressing in the company and having a "successful" life to keep the workers motivated.
@@heinzjurgen7763corporations and selfish desire are driving the west to ruin because we cannot deny ourselves our desires anymore
This song is the perfect definition of never know them your next move
This song is so awesome very unique
For whatever it's worth, this song works better live.
Chainbrain gonna play this song in the bedroom during fun time I’m calling it
While I didn’t personally enjoy it I know somewhere The Rev is smiling because this is totally his style.
i personally love this song but i can see why its not everybody'' cup of tea
ngl i had a big novel comment but fuck that, i aint being the loser who writes novels, glad you gave the song a chance i 100% agree with all you said, as a a7x fan that stockholm syndrome got my ass locked down XD.
Fair. This is gonna divide a lot of folk and that's fair cause they're doing a fair bit of experimentation with sounds and production and everything. They're not my favourite songs but I've enjoyed the fact the band as gotten a bit more creative on this album and The Stage.
I was one of the folk who, despite enjoying Nightmare a fair bit felt like the band's creativity waned a little then and with Hail to the King - they had different goals with those albums and that's fair. I was introduced with City of Evil and really appreciated the technical and creative aspects of that album so that's what I enjoy with the band personally.
To be 100% honest, this song was so out of place for me on the first listen. The more I listen to it the more I loved it. I get why people don’t like this song and I completely understand. To me I love this song
Wasn't a fan of it honestly, it felt so weird.
So A7x is my favorite band. And I love this song and Nobody. But I think it makes a lot of sense if you don't like it lol. But my ADHD brain loves the randomness too it lmao. And i hope for more Shadows screaming on this album bc that was the best part. Keep up the great vids Chain ❤
Same here. My ADHD brain feels really represented by this song. Love the sudden transitions
I appreciate your honestly and honestly could care less if you like it or not. I think you’re totally entitled to that. However having to listen to a song multiple times before it clicks doesn’t mean you don’t like it? When The Stage came out I was confused and listened to it a lot. Now I play that album front to back sometimes daily. Hesitation is fine and I think once you listen to the song enough to memorize the jarring tone switches, it’s perfect.
I am absolutely on the same page with you about people saying they like songs after listening 100 times...however, after listening to Nobody about 5 times, I went from really disliking it to loving it. I've never really had that happen before. I think We Love You is weird, for sure. It's definitely not what I expected from A7X, but honestly, I'm cool with a genre shift. I don't want to hear the same thing over and over again. I personally really liked The Stage, and it seems like they're honing in on the more esoteric style choices from that album.
Ill admit, i sidnt like it at first, it was odd, felt like scrapped songs were put together. But once the album came out and i listened to it all at once, i liked it more. Now its my 3rd favorite on the album. Theres a couple on the album that i dont gravitate towards, but this one, nobody, and cosmic are my top 3 (not in the order). The album as a whole is fun and great to listen to (for me). Its different, while retaining some previous avenged sounds.
I found you through doing Sabaton stuff. So you are sabaton man too :P
Its not what i was hoping they would put out but im having s good time with it
I've been waiting for them to get this out there for over 10 years. This albums gonna be wild.
The stage was literally a teaser for this album
the floating stuff represents old technology and society being cast out
I like it.
Love the reaction, keep up the great work! A7X is very controversial in their music, and although I love 'em, Its cool to see people express the opposite.
After multiple listens I do like this song, but there are a lot of really fucking weird choices in it.
The prog elements A7X has been doing this album and the last is really interesting, but this time they pushed it to the absolute limit. If they go further, idk if i'll still like it.
I think objectively speaking it is more of a one time experience than a replay-able song, the 'chorus' and heavy parts are great, and the outro gives heavy "Tonight The World Dies" vibes. but that opening vocal effect is shit, and that "build" part should've been much shorter, or completely removed.
I don't blame people for disliking it, but you've gotta respect them for doing something no one else would dare to do.
unique doesn't always mean good, but this is boundary pushing in a weird way. this isn't radio hit rewritten trash, this is an attempt at cool art. I think this is meant to be seen as an experience. I really just like the creativity. Wouldn't put it on a playlist.
I feel like this could be a sick 3 minute thrasher but uhh more ya know
At 3:18 I was on the floor crying laughing 😂😂
Listened twice because I had to digest. Thanks to bands not continuing the cycle of generic easy to predict shit. Avenged has always been experimental. If you haven’t been a fan, you probably won’t like it as far as new music from them goes. But the people who listen to a Avenged Sevenfold and hope and expect for something new are completely satisfied. When you wait for a new Avenged Sevenfold album and you listen to it for the first time, never expect it to sound like the last album and at least point out the musicality and the ability to make things that maybe you don’t like are being done in a cohesive, but not traditional manner.
I thought the song was alright, will I constantly listen to it like waking the fallen or city of evil? no. I will not. But its aight
I kind of discord of you when you say that who are listen to this song a lot of times to like it is because they love the band bla bla bla. I mean probably some people are doing it but the thing is music is between a lot of stuffs reconize and understand standards and when we can not do that we have the feeling that it's weird. In my case I had to listen to this song a lot of times because it was the time that I needed to understand this standard because, I think we all agree this, this is not a normal song, it's difficult to understand what's going on even to the best musicians. But once you get there this song becomes insane of good. Of course even doing it people may not like it and that's ok but I recomend you to listen to this some more times with your mind open and trying to reconize the standard
As an A7X fan, the first time I heard this song I thought it wasn’t very good, but after listening to it a few times I still don’t think it’s good
It’s not something I can listen to over and over again, but I think it’s a really cool experience
Good reaction! Really interesting to hear your opinion but I personally don't think you can tell people what they like or not. Maybe some people lie that they like a song because they want to feel like a "real fan" or whatever, but if someone needs to listen to a song 1000 times to like it, I think their opinion still matters.
Exactly, weird to try and say how people feel about liking a song just because they listened to it multiple times before forming their opinion. If anything it's a much more grounded opinion because that person took the time to really take in the music.
Should review Nightmare or Waking the Fallen, favorite A7X album ever!
"I never asked for this." Adam "Chainbrain" Jensen
THANK YOU IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE MR BUNGLE 😂😂😂😂
I've followed them since 2001 and I love their progression and as long time fan will say you're fine not liking it, you're amazing in a lot of things and this ain't your jam, this song caught me off guard when it released but I loved every weird stuff on it, the lyrics kind of odd though so I'll give you that side too but hey, you know syn is a good player.
Always fun to watch ppl react to this song, in my opinion this shouldn't be looked at like a song more like am art piece but thats me
IDK, I like the song but I like Mr. Bungle too. People can change on music first when I heard Annihilator Never, Neverland I didnt like it because the the vocals, there was something in the music and after a few times i got really into that album. Back then we dont have youtube or spotify or even internet to instantly change what are you want to listen. We got tapes and shit. So yea I think people can hear it differently after a few times or find something in it why they start to like it.
I respect this view and reaction because its actually real and not fluffed lol Big fan of A7X and I actually dig this song and the new album. People need to not take shit so serious.... but anytime you want to join the cult hit me up
I really like this song. It feels somewhat experimental, and at the same time has a lot of older A7X elements to it. But the thing that makes it bad for most people is probably that the song feels disjointed. There is not enough music to bridge the different parts of the song, and it makes the listening experience a bit harsh. It probably would have been better if the song either was longer and had more development/better arrangement, or it scrapped some parts of the song to develop more of 1 or 2 of the different parts. But I don't know that much about music production, and only primarily listen to music. And I think that all the parts of this song has a lot of merit, even the refrain(the more/build sections).
Chain is so casual on his opinions
What does this mean
@@Chainbrain i would guess that you don't embellish for the sake of drama but I'm not sure xD
I don’t really like the “build higher, build stronger” part but I really do enjoy the rest of the song and it’s something that grows on you the more you listen
these appeals to my adhd lol
If you didn't like nobody, just listen to it again. It grows
i disagree with about 90% of what u said but each to their own and i still love ya
They've created a new genre... It's called "Hippie Metal". I've felt that way ever since The Stage
Im going to need edibles for this album drop
It sucks that insane avenged sevenfold fans have, in turn, created insane anti avenged sevenfold haters, and there's not a whole lot of room in between. So, unfortunately, there's an abundance of people who just won't give the band a chance purely because of a toxic fanbase. Some people aren't ready to accept anything but RIFFS in their metal music, and whether or not it's intriguing or something cool or different, it's immediately disregarded because of the stigma that's attached to avanged sevenfold. It's really a bummer because in a perfect world, I think everyone would dig this stuff without the aforementioned stigma associated with the band. Whether or not you mean to, you're feeding the hate side by calling it cringe and weird.
him saying that he hates pinkly smooth makse sense for him not liking this (and synyster gates was the guitarist for pink;y smooth so thats why they sound similar)
Been a fan of a7x for like 10 years and i love most of their songs from city of evil too libad. But im definetly not afraid too say it has taken 2 listens of the libad album to like the songs. Yeah sure some are not daily listens like the GOD songs. But i still apreciate them trying new stuff 😁 Keeps it fresh
I'm a huge prog nerd and I don't know what's going on. I like when bands experiment with new ideas, but some experiments are meant to stay in the lab.
there are like 2 cool sections of the song, the thrash one and the 16 second double bass one that goes like “look at the wayyy”, other than those two I hate this song so much lol
This sounds like a The Stage throwaway that was too corny to put on the album
had no expectations for this album, and i love it., city of evil is still the best though
