I understand non metal people focus more on the vocals because popular music is mostly vocals based. But in metal it's just another instrument, which comes together with all the other layers.

You put this nicely: yeah the growl always hits people at first like it's a comedy piece,but it's another tone that adds to it all. Meshuggah for instance- some pop singing over it would not make sense. It's the wrong sound. Same as with Buddhist chanting. Pop singing would sound out of place entirely. I always thought isis were a great psychological key for the cookie monster vocals, their lyrics almost don't matter, the voice is just obviously another tone in the musical mix

“You don’t dance to this, you levitate to this.” Yes!!!! Pure gold that comment. It’s been a beautiful journey watching you guys on this strange trip of freedom, in music and metal.
One important note I'd like to make is that music that is based on Groove is more or less meant to be played at a party or a club as a background filler to make you move (not always) but music like this song is based on Harmony; Chord progressions, Transitions, Dynamics, etc. Songs that are based on harmonies like this one is more or less meant to be listened to with headphones, sitting down and just taking in the song for what it is. That's an important distinction to make when you're listening to these more "experimental" songs that drag on, it's supposed to make a bigger picture by itself, you don't need to watch a play and have it in the background, the music IS the soundtrack to the play that unfolds in your imagination.
@fyodorkaramazov2136
6 жыл бұрын
My point exactly. When he said "if this playing in the background I think this is awesome for that" there is the beginning of an understanding, you can just see it as the OST of your life. (Not a surprise if a lot of metalheads like movies or video games OST music too) Then with that "the song is very long for the sake of being long" I thought "Who cares ? I never listen an Opeth song out of its album anyway" Music is not necessarily made to dance, or to fit on radio playlists, or on your personal shuffled playlist... Metal is not made to make girls dance, and help guys getting laid, it's made for dudes who enjoy listening full albums all day (and going dead drunk to live shows).
Man, my girlfriend is into indie rock music and totally used to hate screams and growls. Took her to an Opeth concert, she was headbanging harder than the drummer! Seeing growling live changes you, specially when done as well as Opeth does it.

Props. As an Opeth fan, that's exactly the kind of reaction I'd expect from an honest objective first listen. Each song is like a mini opera and can be a bit much at times. Check out Mastodon "Oblivion." They have 3 vocalists and the song (whole album, really) has this cool kind of classic rock vibe mixed with modern riffs... and no guttural vocals! Also, I know you're gonna jump back on some Gojira. "L'Enfant Sauvage" Even if you can't show us the official music video, you should check it out for yourselves. Dark, heavy, fast, rad. They will not disappoint.

Reverie/Harlequin Forest, off of the same album, is one of my favorites. This is one of my top favorite Opeth albums. They are just too good. They evolve with their sound as well, making them one of those bands that I can never get tired of.
Man, I remember when I first got into the growling vocals. It took a long time, but the best way for me to describe it is, and I hope this makes sense, try thinking about it like it's just another instrument meant to accompany the piece. It's meant to set that darker, fiercer, and harsher tone in a way that standard singing just can't. At least that's the way that made it a lot easier for me to get into it. Anyway, another great reaction guys!

I only recently got into the more growling lyrics within the past year. Granted, I was already familiar with them through 80's bands like Possessed, Cyclone, Slayer, etc.. but I had not transitioned to the harsher growls until I stopped trying to process the gutterals as a sung lyric and instead processed them as an additional played instrument. Once the 'feel' of the song has been defined, then I can go back and learn the lyrics within the gutteral to better appreciate the mix. :)

I got into the screaming, growling when I started realising what it is and how difficult it is to make those growls. It's the best way to release anger and sadness in my opinion, but also a way to show a dark, huge sound that normal singing cannot do. It's such a great asset to have if you're a metal vocalist in my opinion. It took me maybe a year of my girlfriend playing a lot of metalcore, death core, death metal, and progressive metal for me to actually appreciate the growls and screams.
YES! Finally! You guys hit the nail on the head with the interpretation pretty much. The song is meant to have acts because every song in that album is a part of a larger story. The emotional roller coaster you felt is there musically because those are the emotions that the main character is feeling, the highs and lows; that's' kind of the point of old(ish) Opeth, and why they're amazing! Their newest stuff is more palatable for most listeners, shorter songs, no growling, less transitions, etc.

Exactly this.
I heard of Opeth when I was still in high school, but I never gave them a chance. I was too new into metal to appreciate growl-vocals, so I wrote them off. But (having already been subscribed to you because of your rap videos) when you posted this video, many years ago - but still much later than my high school years, I fell in love with the band. It's especially ironic, since you guys didn't really like this song. Now, many years later, they're - by far - my favorite band of all time, and I've seen them multiple times, and I own many T-shirts. Thanks, fellas.
Opeth is on a whole different level than so many. I love them soooooo much.
Yo. Straight up, Opeth is one of my all time favorite bands. They are unbelievable as a live band. This reaction was great, made me laugh a lot. Your interpretations are spot on and I have close friends who wouldn't even open their minds to a band like Opeth. Entertaining as always. Peace.
On another note though you guys hands down make the best reaction videos, and very intellectually break down and analyze each song and the lyrics. You compliment each other's thoughts very well
Burden by Opeth is one of the most incredible songs I've ever heard. It's just a rock ballad with no screaming. So you guys could try that if you want.

Burden was the song that got me into Opeth and I gradually started to enjoy a lot of their older, more intense songs. 'Bleak' is my favourite song by them.
No one warned them that Opeth have longer intros than some have songs? :')
Opeth is one of the most challenging bands to get into. I'm really glad you guys gave them a fair shot! Their music is definitely not for everyone, and they really challenge your understanding of what a rock music song can be...most of their songs are over the ten minute mark (at least during their metal era). Keep it up!
George and Ryan, as a listener of Prog Rock/Metal for 40 years, these songs need to be heard a few times to REALLY get into. The first listen is almost always more rough because the changes in Prog songs are always numerous and can seem like they ruin the "flow" of the song, but when you really KNOW the song and come to expect the changes, the song (if written well) will flow beautifully and "make sense". One of the best earlier examples are songs like "Roundabout" by Yes and "2112" by Rush.

I think the problem is, the majority of people suggesting songs are mega-fans of those bands - and they are suggesting songs THEY like, but not necessarily the best song to expose a newcomer to. People need to suggest stuff that's the most accessible first. I don't think this is Opeth's most accessible. It's easier for me to get a handle on what that is because I'm not a mega-fan of Opeth, but I like some of their stuff.

Gonna challenge you there. Opeth has such strong songwriting that more people can get into them as opposed to most extreme music. The dynamics, shading and overall musicality bring in more people who normally wouldn't listen to extreme music. I've been following them since the second record, and I remember when Blackwater Park came out, I was in university for music and showed it to some of my professors...they were all blown away...and remarked how a band like that shouldn't be able to do what they do.

JWolf013 in all honesty, in my opinion, Opeth lays these bands to waste. The musicianship is top shelf, with a ton of emotion as well. To me, some of the best songwriting in decades...they still haven't put out a bad one. I got hooked from the second album (not easy, all their albums were expensive imports at the time) and loved them ever since. You always find something new as you revisit each album.

What I like about you guys is how you go really in depth and don't just stare at the video, blank-faced like most other reactors. You also don't just kiss the videos ass to get positive reception from your fans, you give your honest thoughts unlike most other reactors.
What I love about your videos is that you guys make me think about it from an outsiders perspective. I already knew and loved opeth, so the style and up and down was "normal to me. This album is a sort of concept album and if you two are feeling adventurous check out the whole album. I think of it more like watching a movie, characters, action, and emotions. The up and down feels less forced and more like story telling. Could be a brand new experience. As for the growling vocals, try to think of it more like another instrument, casting shadows and light on the traditional instrumentation. The vocals are more moody and powerful when framed this way. Keep trying new stuff, tho. Peace.

random danny I think that they would probably like something from blackwater park better. The harvest has softer vocals throughout and more of a traditional verse/chorus/verse/chorus type of writing format. I also think that something like the drapery falls that starts with somewhat softer and transitions into heavier riffs and vocals in a more linear way may be more suitable to their taste.

Mike Felty I think they would really enjoy the song sorceress, the transitions fill more smooth and less random parts just thrown together.
Best metal band ever, but you should check out "The drappery falls" or "Heir apparent" or "Demon of the fall" to get the full sound of Opeth.
Transitions is the core of Progressive Metal. It is the beauty of it, the greatest excitement comes from the multiple & ups & downs. Opeth of course is not for a regular listeners, and of course it required a lot emotional & musical sensation. Big fan of one of my greatest bands Opeth.
Here is the problem with giving a first impression of a progressive type of song - there is no way it can "click" in your brain the first time. I don't LOVE hardly any progessive metal song the very first time I hear it. Instead the song has to sink in time after time, intil finally it "clicks" and makes perfect sense to your brain. Here is the beauty of it though. Once that happens you don't get sick of the song like you do normal/cookie cutter songs. That's why I can put on the Blackwater Park album any time and not be sick of it. So cool that you guys listened to this and to be honest I'm shocked you didn't hate it the first time hearing it! Great stuff guys, I discovered you today and have been going through your metal reviews. At first I thought maybe you just pretended to like everything (I watched Master of Puppets and One first) but I've quickly realized that these are your honest reactions, I just happened to start with songs that you truly were blown away with - and rightfully so. :)

@@DuckoftheDraw Exactly, and the thing is what those people call "Screamo" isn't even actual Screamo. That just makes it worse.
There is so much King Crimson influence in Opeth's music it's ridiculous. It's not the only influence obviously. There's Rush influence as well (I remember being at their show here in Vancouver and they asked if the audience were Rush fans) among many others. These guys are genius. They have to be seen live.
Should have Reverie/Harlequin Forest, in my opinion.
Opeth is pretty heavy listening and I definitely wouldn't recommend them to beginners. I've requested this song before and I'm going to keep doing it, Cirice by Ghost.

The first time i listened to Opeth i thought they were boring and that it was just not for me, 3 years later Opeth is my favorite band and Ghost Of Perdition is definately one of my favorite songs by them. For me it has always been that the best music takes time to understand, so I think after you really know every second of this song well your gonna love it. And also the growling in Opeth´s music is some of the best out there, there are not many singers who can make that awesome evil sounding growling like Mikael, and that mixed with his beautiful cleans just make Opeth the perfect band for me.

Opeth albums need to be listened to several times to truly appreciate all that's going on.
I love that Opeth isn't necessarily music to groove off to...it's very demanding, the dynamics, insane amounts of musicality. .I like to think of Opeth as a Jackson Pollock painting musically... Definitely not mass produced...totally commanding. Total art.

Opeth is definitely masterful with their transitions. I like the melodies with the growling....love the haunted house/forest Victorian kind of feel. It's really alluring.
The best part about their lead guitarist/singer is that its all one guy. He does the growling, singing, and plays lead guitar simultaneously. Pretty talented dude. Ive seen them live a few times and theyre just as good as their studio albums
I had a feeling when you guys finally got to this song that you would respect it but wouldn't totally be your taste. I still love that you gave this an open minded shot (free thinkers after all), and I have more respect for ya than ever. For a newer shot of prog metal I recommend "The Last Baron" from Mastodon, or even their song "Blood and Thunder" which is also amazing. Also, I would recommend you check out Periphery starting with their song "Scarlet" and if you like that try out some more. That's all I will ramble about for now.

WARNING LONG REPLY Listening to Opeth (and prog metal in general most of the time) is a different type of listening than you regularly do for music. Usually you just want to enjoy the music you listen to, grooving along. With this type of music listening becomes more of an activity in itself. It's almost like you're studying, trying to constantly wrap your head around what crazy transition they did this time and the epic lyricism. You're watching a play unfold with different movements etc. It's not necessarily made to headbang to. I also have to tell you that this is the first song of the album Ghost Reveries, a concept album with an overarching story throughout it (except for the final song), so in that sense it's even more like a play. A story is being told. I'm often in my head so this is great music for me, but if you prefer to groove and just enjoy the music this is probably not for you. Unless, like you said, it's a very specific situation. If you feel like cracking your head open and you're up for a challenging listen, prog metal is the way to go (listen to the rest of the album!). Now that you listened to Opeth, Dream Theater and Tool, you have a solid grasp of what the genre is about. I like to call those three bands the three "cornerstones of prog metal". Opeth for the extreme metal with soft passages thrown in (where NeO got their sound from!), Dream Theater for the "regular" metal sound with flashy solos and Tool (even though they're not actually metal) for the rhythmic and emotionally intense aspects of the music. Most modern prog bands have (at least) one of these three bands as one of their main influences. They're HUGE in the prog metal scene. There are other prog bands with big influences like Meshuggah (djent movement started with them), Animals as Leaders (instrumental prog), Between the Buried and Me (prog metalcore with even more transitions than Dream Theater), Porcupine Tree (prog rock/metal borderline) and Mastodon (sludge/stoner prog), but the three I mentioned before are probably the biggest of the bunch with the most influences. Now you probably just want to rock out (and not think too much! Opeth can take their toll lol). I HIGHLY suggest you listen to some power metal now, which is like the middle ground between Maiden and Metallica/Megadeth. Try [Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings] or [Crimson Glory - Eternal Worlds] (Red Sharks is also a great pick!). I'd also like to suggest Symphony X, but that's more prog power a la Dream Theater (less wank though and more headbanging) so I'll hold that off for now. Love your channel guys. Keep rocking!

As much as I love Prog and Avant-Garde rock and metal, I think that expecting a positive reaction from an "outsider" to the style of music is just unrealistic - the musicians and fans of Prog and Avant-Garde kind of pride themselves on how alien their music is compared to popular music - in effect, Prog and Avant-Garde can be thought of as running on on how deliberately off-putting and jarring the music can be to casual listeners, and on seeing and bringing out the beauty in things that don't fit into the popular music mold. Most people are well used to more popular forms of music, with an ear tuned toward it, and it takes a little while to develop a musical palate tuned toward the sort of discordant chords, strange rhythmic patterns, something other than the usual pop-music verse-chorus song structure found in Prog or Avant-Garde. Nobody can expect someone used to popular music to embrace a rather dramatically anti-popular form of music overnight. That's not to say that George and Ryan shouldn't keep trying these Prog metal songs, I remember those moments when the weird stuff that bands like Celtic Frost or Voivod were doing finally "clicked", and I stopped thinking "that sounds like noise", and started thinking "wow, they actually used noise as music, and made it work - how did they do that?" I also think it's fair to say that there are a fair number of Prog and Avant-Garde emperors who aren't wearing any clothing - I appreciate the rare outside voice that's willing to say "I'm perfectly happy to give this a chance, but I really don't think that this band is wearing clothes, and someone's pulling our leg!" I think that sort of honesty can only be expected from someone who's not familiar with this sort of music, or someone who has really been listening to it a long time, and thoroughly understands musical theory and rules and how and when to bend or break them, and so on... for the rest of us, I think it can sometimes be hard to tell the difference between genuine brilliance, and a really shiny shovel-full of B.S.....

I listen to prog metal and I never liked most of the bands you listed. And it's not like I didn't give them a chance. Bands like Opeth, Dream Theater, Mastodon... they have good ideas, but I feel as if they can't properly combine them into songs. They are also in a way do what's expected from prog metal, I'm not surprised by their music, from avant-garde and prog stuff, I want music that makes me wonder how did they even begin composing something like that. Compositions that are alien and weird. And also I agree with Ryan and George about transitions and song length. The transitions sound forced, and the songs feel as if they are really long for the sake of being long. There are bands out there with more transitions and bands with longer songs, but they make it work. Stuff like Opeth and Dream Theater, when I listen to them I just hear a mishmash of cool ideas and not so cool ideas in stitched together in whatever way.
"It's almost like this is acts." It IS in acts, this is how long story-heavy songs like this one work.
Opeth are some of the best if not the best prog musicians, in my opinion. I do agree with the issue with growling (not screaming) however. Opeth got me into the growling initially, but I had been a metal fan all my life so it wasn't a really sudden change. Opeth drew me in for the riff mastery, I had grown up with Tony Iommi and his mastery of the riff and Opeth seem a fitting progression. I suggest Pale Communion and Sorceress (albums) for some equally brilliant but lighter music. Their old stuff is my favourite, but the new stuff is still better than almost everything.
I LOVE Opeth, and can listen to them at any time, in any setting!(yeah, I am a life long metal head) But I can also understand your perspective of them, and appreciate the honest reaction. Super long songs are very common for them, and thinking of some of them as separate acts is a great call out.
YAAAAASSS. FINALLY! Thanks for giving them a try, guys. Opeth is forever my fav \m/ Also, “You don’t dance to this. You levitate to this.” 😂 Dead.
At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul ... you're ready now
Progressive music comes from a time when you only had enough money for one record a month and the records that gave enough depth to last you many listens provided greater value. In other words, the music is way deeper and more complex and is far more satisfying after the 10th listen than the first. Most people are after those instantly gratifying songs thar become throwaway after a few listens. Pop music is instantly gratifying and progressive music is more like a puzzle you have to spend time with to enjoy.
Dude, Opeth is an impossible band to digest as a first listen. I'm a die hard metal fan, but I made the mistake years ago to just casually try and get into them and I was like "nope". This kind of progressive music needs like a predisposition. It's not something you necessarily headbang to, but listen to when you're in the right mindset, which is kind of meditative, chill (the irony) and like, focused, like you're in the mood to fly with a song, not party to it. I make no sense. For example, I paint, so I like to listen to this because it just kind of goes with that flow state of being focused, so you fly with the song. It's the trippiest feeling. Like being high without drugs. But takes sooooo long to "get" it. The mind just gets hooked and desires to go back to it. It's worth it in the end! You get used to it and enjoy it just as much as any other popular song. It's the weirdest thing. ANYWAY. GUYYYSSSSSS you know what I'm gonna say! Epica - The Holographic Principle or Kingdom of Heaven PART 1. If you think you need the right thing to get into metal growling (not screamo haha), check these songs out! Growling, operatic vocals, pop vocals, big ass choirs, Kingdom of Heaven even has some freakin tibetan throat singing. Like seriously, I ASSURE you, you haven't listened to this kind of metal yet. I have many other suggestions but goddamnit, I won't give up until you react to them! Also omg 182K!!! Insane!! Congrats!! ♥

ThatOnePerson This 100%. I didnt get into Periphery, Meshuggah, and Gojira until this year because of my original distaste for heavy vocals. My transition started a long time ago. My first albums were Breaking Benjamin and As I Lay Dying, but I never listened to AILD's songs that were strictly screaming. I needed the conflict of heavy verses and the resulution of clean, powerful, and soaring refrains. Eventually, I began to enjoy the brutality. That was about 8 years ago. I tried listening to other bands in heavier forms of metal, but couldnt do it as the vocals were too much for me. This past year was my first experience with the brutality and complexity with prog metal. And I have never been happier.

This is my first time hearing Opeth as well, after years of hearing they hype over them. I agree - I respect and appreciate the honest opinions here! :) I do feel a bit bad that we're leaving these poor fellows to try to figure out lyrics written by foreign bands in garbled English - one of the exciting things I discovered about international metal bands is that there is some amazing music there, and some fascinating influences from different cultures that put a whole new spin on the basic Metal formula, but about half the time, the lyrics are just impenetrable at best, as seen with Brazil's Sepultura a couple weeks ago! :D I think a lot of us just tune the lyrics out and listen for the music, with the death growls and other vocals taking on a percussive, rhythmic, or melodic element appreciated separately from the lyrics themselves....
Throw a curveball at them, and show the In my Time of Need.
Man, i've been listening metal for 10years, always heard about opeth and never had a crush. But since recently i just recognize the pure genius of this band and i've been listening all their discography. I admit it, i wasnt mature enough.
Thanks for listening to this. 1. This is headphone music. This is something not something to casually listen to. 2. It’s not something you’re gonna get the first time. It’s a concept album, so the entire album has an underlying story. So the changes are really setting the vibe as to what is occurring in the story (like a play soundtrack... literally...good looks). 3. I’ve always thought (even though I’m a huge fan) that Opeth would stick around on certain parts too long. As musician, I’ve always noticed that they “felt” they had to do each part 4 complete times, which can drag shit out unnecessarily for what seems like an eternity. Especially when it’s an 8-bar riff as-is. I think this was more of a crutch of Mikael’s writing than anything. However, parts like the acoustic breaks really suit well for the longer arrangements. 4. This is literally the band that got me into dirty vocals. The way they contrast/compliment the musicality of the band really play on your ear differently than other groups do. It’s just intensity. It’s not anger or aggression or a crutch... it’s used intentionally. Because he clearly has an amazing voice. The next track I highly recommend you check out by them is Windowpane, from Damnation. No growling, no distorted guitars. Completely clean.

Agreed - though the song that got me into opeth was Deliverance, haha. It's so hard to find one of Opeth's heavier songs that's under 8 minutes - there are a few, but most are definitely longer epics. Interesting they liked Ne Obliviscaris and not so much on Opeth given they are so influenced by them, but to each their own :)
THANK you for being the only channel i’ve seen reacting to the lyrics - people ignore the context the lyrics give to the music and musical choices way too often, especially with Opeth. Also, it’s my understanding that this song was supposed to be the first of a concept album about someone murdering their own mother. So it’s less an exorcism and more that the evil presence is taking over the protagonist rather than the mother, driving them to strangle the mother in her sleep. I think most of the songs on this album follow the story beyond this, but some don’t - it’s been a few years since i’ve listened to this album in full so i don’t remember exactly. some of their albums tell stories like that. The albums Still Life and My Arms, Your Hearse tell stories too.
In the context of the album, it makes more sense to be as long as it is. This is my favorite album from these guys and the tone changes so much throughout.
Opeth definitely grows on you. When I first listened to them i thought they were cool, it took years for them to truly grow on me and become pretty much the greatest band ever. This is a great song, but not their best.

It's not for everyone, but I'm glad you guys are open minded enough to at least listen to it all the way through, and to actually look deeper into it than people normally would.
Most people that hear this song and aren't into growls (I'm typically not a growl lover, other than in Opeth songs), have the urge to bail during the intro. I tell them to stick it out because the song will definitely surprise them and I've always been right. I can;t pick a favorite Opeth song because with them, it always changes depending on my mood, but this is right up there.

The description of this as a rollercoaster is apt. I generally like to listen to whole Opeth albums because of exactly that! It's not exactly accessible though. I think those emotional highs and lows are kind of the point. Sometimes it's hard to digest songs from bands like Opeth on their own.
There is something so relaxing or cathartic about watching people react to a song for the first time, that you love for such a long time now. It also helps that they are knowledgable about music in general. ;)

Seven Wilson - Routine He used to be producer of Opeth. You will be suprised
I don’t know , I find opeth’s style of growling more tolerable than other bands even more enjoyable , mikael’s voice is soothing even if he’s growling ...please check out the song burden by them they don’t have any harsh vocals and i personally believe it’s the most beautiful song.even if you don’t post it on KZread , burden is a unique gem that cannot be missed.
Guys, Opeth takes time. But the time pays off. It's hard to believe that the growls and the clean singing come out of the same guy. And it's mind boggling that so many musical ideas go into one song. Other bands would make 4 or 5 songs out of the different ideas. But Mikael Akerfeldt (the singer, main song writer, guitar) is in my mind the Mozart of metal. His genius becomes clearer with more listening time. And on that note, if you decide to give them another try, I'd recommend Bleak. The song again covers a lot of ground, but it's less proggy and contains some great clean vocals. Keep doing what you're doing. Love the channel!
