I started off on your channel because of TOOL. I am so blessed being able to take this journey with you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I love hearing new music. This is not a "reaction" channel. I like to think of it as a "discovery and education" channel. ❤

Leprous is probably the prog band who's sound will never get old to me, on a league of their own. And their last album was absolutely exquisite tbh.

I would like to echo the comment sections suggestions of "The Sky is Red" but also put in a suggestion for "Slave" live at Rockefeller Music Hall. This live performance is according to me even better than the album version because it has just as good of a mix as the studio album but, this live performance was an anniversary for the band so they brought on some old members from the band, and when they played "Slave" at this concert they had a past drummer come on and two drums really adds a lot of the ambiance. The song also shows a bit more of the range that Einar (vocals and keyboards) has. Both of these songs also show of their drummer Baard very well and i think his skill is one of the most outstanding things with this band. On a sidenote on compositions with surprises you also did Ne Obliviscaris(Australians) that have a violinist as main part of the band

Slave live is just incredibly intense. The Rockefeller video gave me goosebumps all over. I saw them live last summer, and with covid it was a different type of concert, everyone sitting in assigned seats, so a bit more reserved. But when they played Slave I was of course entranced myself, and at the point where he does the scream, this guy a few rows over can't contain himself, and jumps up and screams with him, before sitting down again. I just thought "awesome dude, you did what everyone here wanted to do themselves."

You‘re quickly becoming my favorite person to react to my favorite music. Leprous is awesome to dive in. I’d recommend „The Sky Is Red“ or „Bonneville“ next. I’d also like to recommend Agent Fresco from Iceland, who are good friends with Leprous and are often compared with them. They are on the same level for me, just a tad more accessible. Check out „Dark Water“ or „Howls“. Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing!

New album came out, would make my day to see your coverage on the fresh material

WOW 😲 That is a fantastic track and that voice 🤯

..."I play enough just to make myself dangerous." Nice. I like it. Badass.

I've seen Leprous live and I can tell you, that is not studio magic. Einar is just that breathtaking on vocals!!

OMG more Leprous please! They're unbelievable. The last three albums they did are among my favorite albums ever. There's a 6-day live-stream going right now where we can see them writing a new song. All the band members know music theory really well, and they really write together, it's beautiful to see.

Don't know if you'll read this. I hope you will react to a song from Intronaut at some point. Very talented musicians that are still very unrecognized with respect to their talent. Bit of metal, bit of jazz, and definitely experimental. If you do, best starting songs in my opinion would be Fast Worms, Sore Sight for Eyes, and Procurement of the Victuals/Cubensis. Great choices of songs to react to so far. Keep up the great work!

You should listen to "Celestial Violence" by Ihsahn, the frontman of Leprous is doing an amazing job on vocals in that song!

i would to see you react to The Dear Hunter, specifically Regress + The Moon/Awake. technically two songs but the transition is seamless and they're both GORGEOUS

You should react to Borknagar - up north. Btw i love watching these videos, it gives me more insight for my album I'm working on

Forced Entry. You'll have your "hands" full with it. And it's just a damn good song.

Please react to The Sky is Red by Leprous. They have one of my favorite contemporary drummers and I think that track really showcases his creativity.

The strings on this album were arranged by Chris Baum who plays violin with a great band called Bent Knee. I'd love to see you react to them, they're criminally underrated, quite different from most current prog bands, and their vocalist is jaw-droppingly talented. I think you'd find the song Way Too Long an interesting one to analyse!

Stumbled upon you on the Leprous instagram. Best reaction channel i have seen. Subbed

PLEASE DO Opeth: Windowpane or In my time of need. They are of the more "acoustic" side of Opeth... Very beutiful and fantastic songs!

I’m loving the amount of stoppage. It feels like a good amount. You’re able to share more and it’s awesome to hear someone else’s perspective! Thanks for sharing!

Literally just heard this band for the first time. In fact, I was watching a drummer covering The Sky Is Red on KZread which was fantastic so I thought Geebz must have done these guys and hey presto! I will definitely be tuning into more of their stuff. 👍🏼

I ADORE this Song! ❤

Yes more Leprous! They offer a very wide range of amazing music.

The electronic pads percussion really reminds me of In The Air Tonight.

I'm so glad I discovered Leprous recently, because for one, I am more able than ever, as my musical understanding has grown, to fully appreciate all this magnificent band has to offer; but mainly cause I get to find videos I didn't see from my favorite music analyst and reviewer (Aloha!) and listen along to these masterpieces. What other gems didn't click upon? *excited*

That gorgeous cello you hear is the fantastic Raphael Weinroth-Browne! His Worlds Within album is the best of modern classical prog (if that is a thing). :)

The last one is especially awesome in the live-version with Ihnsahn on-stage :) Keep up the entertaining videos, really enjoying it :)

So many great Leprous songs! Where to begin? "The Sky is Red" is pretty unique, it's captures the claustrophobic desperation of mental illness so incredibly well.

I've been following your channel, and wondered when I would see Leprous on here. Amazing band. Even better live. Any track off of Coal would be a great reaction.

Please Leprous - Slave Live at Rockefeller Music Hall!

An amazing Leperous song is Contaminate Me. I just discovered leperous a few weeks ago and the live at Rockefeller completly sold me.

Awesome band, they are very unique. Really loved your comments and reaction!

This was the reaction I was waiting for. Leprous is amazing!

True mastery of the voice! Good lord.

Aw hey, this is awesome! Thank you so much for these, can’t wait to see some others!

Thanks Geebz now I have to buy another vinyl. Great stuff, I'm blown away. Can't wait to turn off all the lights and spin this record. Thanks man.

Steven Wilson - Drive Home, please!

you've rekindled my love for Leprous today, haven't listened to them in a while

God, you quickly putting down you pen at 2:16 after he sang that part gave me a good laugh.

"Audace - Retour" is one of my absolute favorite songs, it'd be amazing to see you "de-compose" it! Somehow a song that really puts a smile on my face. Thanks for all the content man!

What a beautiful video and channel. Actual analysis and earnest love for music, not passive ”reaction video”. I appreciate you a lot man. Forced Entry is classic early Leprous. Very reverred in the fandom as a highlight of their discography.

PERIPHERY. more please!!!! Satellites, The Bad Thing, Reptile, Crush, Stranger Things.... Too many great songs with great arrangements. Misha has really begun dialing in with his orchestra work...

THE SKY IS RED PLEASE!!! ITLL BLOW YOUR MIND

Leprous is a band I've never really listened to but have had people suggest them to me. They sound great, thanks for the proper into to them.

One of the best things about Leprous in my opinion, is that all of their work is pretty different from one another, yet still maintains their core sound which is always brilliant. If you ever get back to this band, which I highly recommend, based on each of their albums would be Phantom Pain, Forced Entry, Coal, Rewind, and finally Coma. My personal favorites from each of their 5 albums leading up to what you listened here on their 6th album. Keep doing what you're doing dude, it's a fun time watching. If you want another band I would also suggest Ne Obliviscaris - Eyrie, you liked different instruments being a surprise, and there's one in this band.

I enjoy your reaction videos, and was thrilled to see you were doing Leprous. A lot of good new suggestions for another Leprous song, but let's not forget Acquired Taste... the live at Rockefeller version is mwah! Slave was the first Leprous song i heard, also completely awesome live.

Another bands that I recommend you is: Caligula horse, Agent Fresco, this second one is more alternative

What a great song. Gonna check the group!

The Sky is Red Drum Cam!!!!! Very cool channel Geebz!!!

Expanding my musical knowledge and experience with Geebz. My grandmother immigrated from Sweden, so it's almost like connecting with my heritage on this one. Really enjoyed it!

I've only really listened to Slave but holy crap I'm glad the fans recommended this song instead!

Yesss more Leprous please!

Leprous. Wow superb stuff. Technically very advanced. Unique vocals. Voice. Right know I’m listening to the new 5thSoen record called Imperial. Again. Can’t get enough of it. Musically really heavy en laying low vocals. Shouldn’t work but It does. Like to hear your opinion about m.

Just discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos (have just watched the ones about "Toxicity" and "Forty Six & 2"). It's great seeing you not only analyzing the music, but also being emotionally moved by it (I discovered Leprous in 2019 and love most of their stuff, although most of their albums are quite different from each other stylistically).

One of my favorite bands! Fell in love with them first time I saw them live. Amazing live show! So many different sounding songs to choose from....heavy to soft and everything in between
