Despite the controversy I think this is a really cool song and Mark has awesome clean vocals as well. It really has this nineties/early 2000's vibe which I personally really miss these days. Nu-metal but done with great quality.

100% it's good but b side at best IMO. This coming from a Chimaira supporter to the grave.

As a 16 year old I remember impossibility of reason coming out . I had just lost my mother . And this album changed my life I was already starting to play guitar obsessed with PanterA but chimaria I discovered on my own and I seen you every time you were near me . I seen you guys with slipknot and fear factory I thought I could die that night happy. 😂. Your riffs spoke to me and I needed that . I went from getting into fights at school because of not knowing how to grieve properly. Then I started picking fights with my guitar and these songs helped me more than you could ever know rob !!! Know years later my father passed and here I am right back to the impossibility of reason this album has been medication for my depression anger hurt pain . Thank you sir if ever you helped someone and didn’t know now you know you changed my life and I’m forever grateful

I remember seeing this on the DVD and seeing Jim drive in his car at night listening to the song with all the snow outside. The song always gives me the vibes of an anthem for Cleveland.

Better than anything out here today.

That Deftone Mudvayne, Slipknot radio push. Glad you put this out. Rob knows fans.

I literally never skip this song, to me, it sounds really good because it’s “unique” in its own way, it kinda reminds me of something off of Freddy vs Jason.

My 2 Cents as a Very big Chimaira fan since the beginning. lol This song sounds AWESOME!!! I love it, but with that being said I hear no place for that to be on the Impossibility of Reason Album. Down again was the The most mellow song on that album (IMO) that I almost couldn't tolerate, because the rest of the album is so BRUTAL!!!

What a mistake not including this on the record! This song is fucking awesome! One of the reasons why pass out of existence is my favorite album from you guys is it’s definitely the heaviest but also really melodic with Marks vocals. Best of both worlds.

I’m so glad this song saw the light of day! It’s a great song. Also I feel like nu-metal is more about people who listen to lots of genres of music, not just metal, combining their influences into something unique.

impossibly of reason was the first album that really got me into metal back in 03-04. I was 13 at the time. of course it’s not as heavy as the other tunes, but who cares. the older I get, the more I appreciate different stuff. and to me, this a banger for sure!

While I totally dig the song and always have, I'm glad you won the battle on this one. The heavier, riffin' tunes are what got me into Chimaira back when Impossibility came out.

Such a sick tune, definitely a bonus or hidden track type of feel.

Rob, totally agree with you on this. Also funny you mention Down Again as your limit on this type of song. That's one that I tend to skip, and this one would likely have been a skip as well most times. In San Diego 2000s, I don't think Chimaira ever made it on Rock105.3 , but this song might have if it were released. That's a station that is still stuck in 2003 radio to this day. Actually, my least favorite songs are where the vocals sound like Layne Staley AIC, so I 100% agree with you on liking Chimaira trying to stay ultraheavy like a Slayer or Deicide.

So glad to find this channel, saw Chimaira in my home city of Sheffield, England all the way back in 2004 with Stampin Ground and Everytime I Die opening. I think one issue with doing a radio friendly hit that contradicts the heavier tone is that you end up kind of obliged to play it live where it sticks out like a sore thumb and can negatively effect the flow of the set. There's nothing inherently wrong with this song, but I'm glad the album came out as it did.

I never even knew that about this song, it's actually always sounded really good to me and one of my favorites from y'all (Chimaira) 🖤 Thank you for all of the videos, Chimaira will always be a favorite band of mine. 🖤

Dude this song rocks!!!!

Wow, finally¡¡¡¡¡¡One of my favourite songs from Chimaira, man... I waiting for this moment for years, since I heard it in The Dehumanizing Process dvd. I remember wait in from of my tv for a minute or so to hear it over and over again and triying to figure out how to play it. Thank you Rob, you´ve made me happy with this video.

Hearing this song and then listening to down again, makes me think that down again was kind of a compromise song as far as the singing is concerned.

Honestly, I love that solo... it sounds like it's played on violin/strings to me. Which gives the song an interesting ingredient IMO.

It was the right choice for you guys. Good for you not changing your mind Rob! I must admit I have never heard this track before - that's neither a good or a bad thing, but I completely feel Stays The Same doesn't belong on any Chimaira album.

It was basically in a basketball gym in indianapolis, it was so weird; To get to the show area we had to walk through a bunch of cubicles in an office area... I can't believe that was almost 20 years ago. Not related, but I also got see you guys at the Waverly Hills in Louisville, which was an apparent logistics nightmare and people were passing out in line from heat exhaustion (or other substances).

Dehumanising Process was like our Bible back in the day. Fascinating to see the intricacies of the music industry and the big decisions bands have to make. Commentary was good fun too, gotta watch it again!

As for Chimaira being a radio band. I'm glad it never came to that. Because you did everything the right way. Kept it heavy with good groves and the lyrics have a lot of meanings to them for me. Long hair been there done that haha

Songs sounds awesome Rob! I reckon if Mark screamed on the chorus it would be more of Chimaira song!

And that’s what made Chimaira so damn cool.

I can't believe he thinks it's that bad when it's not at all. I think it pulls a lot of new listeners in that wouldn't have listened to Chimaira at all.

This song is actually really good, I’ve always dug it since the DVD came out. That being said, it doesn’t really fit the flow of TIoR, and I’m more than happy with it just being a bonus track. You’re still right after all these years!! Army of Me on the other hand… total destruction! P.s. I am legit shocked that you did a play through for this track lol.

thanks for making this video Rob! I still really like the song and actually could have brought you some commercial success had it been released as a single (and if had you laid down a better solo, ha! :) )

Its really catchy, love those octave riffs, (been experimenting with them lately), I can agree with you and then I can agree with a lot of the people commenting here, its like going from listening to Deicide or The Black Dahlia Murder to listening to Red Hot Chilli Peppers ( I Love RHCP), but the point is it does not mix with what I and everyone knows Chimaira for and what we love about Chimaira and why we are all fans!
