David Draiman really delivers a gritty and unnerving vocal when it's called for. The key element in this song's success, as you pointed out, is its rhythmic drive. The hook is very chantable/singable as well. Great reaction, Jen! I'm so proud of you for braving it. Keep the great mix coming. Also, congrats on the album release.

That "y-in me" you were talking about may or may not have been intentional, but Americans quite frequently say the word as "ee-yin" . Sort of a Midwestern or southern drawl thing, and David Draiman is from Chicago. Anyway, great reaction, as usual. 👍

To be fair, it's about abuse so a bit of swearing is understandable.

Loved the way you're starting to get your metal face😁 There is so much fantastic music out there that isn't mainstream (not just metal) so I always enjoy it when people get into what they are reacting too.

Thanks for your interesting breakdown. I've listened to the song a few hundred times but you pointed out a few things, especially about his phonation, that I never noticed before. I'd be interested to see what you think of Disturbed's song "Stricken".

Jen, your analyses are insightful and comprehensive in spite of the fact that you're not used to and don't really care for metal. I appreciate your recognition of its value as music, even though its not YOUR music.

Jen, I returned to your channel just to hear you sing David's part of this song.. It is so much fun!!!!

I love your reactions and congrats on the new album! Also this official version is missing an important part to understand it fully. The message in this song is dark but it makes you think about it.

I have listened to several of your videos (mostly Home Free, Pentatonix and Peter Hollins) but this one was really well done and I thoroughly enjoyed how you broke down the vocal techniques in this song.

Look up the live, unedited version. I believe the concert takes place in Germany, but I could be wrong.

In case someone hasn't said it yet, David Draiman trained as a kid to be a cantor in the orthadox jewish community he grew up in. That's where the "classically trained" techniques come from (vibrato, etc), along with a few other stylistic things that helped make him exceptional and unique as a vocalist in the world of Metal. I'd recommend you spend some time exploring Disturbed's work in general (you seem to dig it!), and in a few months go back and re-watch The Sound of Silence. You'll have a deeper appreciation for what an impact that made for their existing fans when they put it out. (I cried. So good. Augh.)

Great video and reaction! An aspect in metal that you may have noticed with this one is that many of the held notes and much of the sound hovering happens on a consonant like the nnn sound as well as the vowels. This is because the voice is often used as "just another instrument" in metal so it helps to be good at staccato and holding on consonants to introduce a vocal rhythm and open/leave space for other instruments and sounds. It is also why the vocals are often more buried in the mix - the story and emotion is told as much through the overarching sound of all combined instruments as it is through the words of the song - which is why heavier metal genres like death metal can have nearly incomprehensible singing but still be enjoyed.

Lol this was a fun reaction and analysis especially how you giggled at all the grit sounds 😂 My husband and I still scream oh wah ah ah ah whenever it’s random lol

There are a couple of interviews with David regarding that signature sound on KZread. He’s an interesting guy. Also, they released two videos a year or so ago of which one is called Hold Onto the Memories that is gorgeous.

My word don't I love it when you are serious looking. I am hopelessly smitten & not too shy to admit it. I'll always remember a reaction when the singer hit this weird high note, then you did it in analysis & freaked yourself out. I cyber love you so much.

You (Jen) have selected a GOOD video of this band & song. At A Girl!!!! - Gold star for Jen..... AND at 4: something you imitate David better than I have anyone else ever. THANKS!!!!!!!!!....... The one part is like orks. I have always thought that the drums for this song were tribal.. Job well done lady concerning the album! I so enjoy your insights and expert opinions. This may be the most FUN I have seen you have making a video....

Great job, Jen! Another Disturbed to really throw you off, as far as the complexity that is David Draiman... "Uninvited Guest" is almost a full blown ballad.

As I recall, a few months ago several of us assured you that you would turn into a metalhead once you came to fully appreciate the talent and expression. I see the transition is in progress1 Good for you!

Should really check out Queensryche “take hold of the flame” live in Japan

A couple of people already mentioned that there was a whole section cut, it was at right about 16:00 in your video when He was singing "And when I dream!" That cut there was why that part seemed so jarring.

Hi Jen! Very good reaction and your journey in metal music world is going quite well, even if still a little bit terrifying 😇. What is amazing in metal world is the range of different singing styles you can find in it. The human voice is capable of so many things, and sometimes it's just going crazy. As a vocal coach it could be interesting for you to check out Lorna Shore. It will probably freak you out cause this is really brutal but the vocals of Will Ramos, the singer, are just crazy. So I you feel confident enough to check it, I recommend the one take vocal video of "To The Hellfire", so you will be able to analyse the vovals skills of Will.

lmao this is legit my favorite break down of this song!

Love your in depth analysis of this epic group but can I ask which (roughly) area of my beautiful island you are from,I'm from the north east and I just can't pin down your accent ✌️

Their normal sound is of course that of a Metal Band. And that is exactly why I had GOOSE BUMPS listening to their cover of The Sound Of Silence. I was wondering if David was ill or was wounded or had lost somebody and was sad, or what? Because it was SO un-like anything I had ever heard from them previously. And it was GREAT. They did SO well on it, when I had NO clue of their background except fort their Metal image. Of course I found out things after that which made them infinitely more interesting as a band. Just AWESOME stuff! :) Great reaction and breakdown of course. Luv ya!

idk if anyone mentioned it but a verse was cut out towards the end when it felt like the music was building. the vocals in that verse were the most diverse and emotional in the song

Love You

Fun fact which I am sure someone has already said but he was a classically trained Cantor growing up which shows through at times.

Always happy to learn something new. And since you like diversity in voices, I will again recommend to look into Ayreon. There are even a ton of live videos. The Ayreon Universe show from 2017 has a lot of musical and vocal diversity, since there are 16 vocalists featured in the concert. As a starting point I would suggest "The Eye Of Ra" (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYGllsucgNitkZs.html) which is the last song of the concert, or "Everybody Dies" (kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3V1utaOlLCdqKg.html).
