Please keep coming with the reactions of this album.. yes the synths is there for making it sound galactic due to it suppose to be set in space.. some fans are not liking it .. takes a few listens but this album is top notch.. and when its done live like on saturday.. it sounds friggin awesome.. even the journey song with Carry the flame.. but legacy and others are just friggin kick ass .. thank you chase for what you do .. tc n be safe

Always look forward to your UTA reactions. Always great commentary. Next track by them, go back in time to their song Time Stands Still (official video) 🤘🇨🇦

If I recall correctly, that is the exact reason that they added the synth on this album. It's another concept album, which is a sequel to Apex, and this time they are in space. So that's exactly the type of feeling that the synth is supposed to give.

As someone who was in high school in the early 80s those shorts really take me back.🤣

They've had a secret weapon in their back pocket the entire time that we didn't know about. Andy can actually sing. Listen to Carry the Flame and fall in love with this band all over again.

Just saying Chase, I'm sure I'm not the only one that wouldn't be opposed to you potentially setting aside a day of the week to react to UTA kind of like you've done with Nightwish lol. At least until you're able to get through the rest of Apex and Abyss if nothing else. Always love seeing your reactions to them. Granted I've watched quite a few of your other ones now as well, but how many UTA reactions you've done in such a short time is one of the main reasons I ended up subscribing aside from the insight you're able to give. After all, with a few exceptions, most reactors seem to do a song or two by them and then move on and never really go back.

For a moment I thought I was listening to something by Frozen Crown, but Brittney´s voice was a dead give-away that it was no so. :-D

They make me happy !!!! Nothing more to say ...

Great thanks from your reaction. I very like your work. You´re doing great. This song is one of the best songs UTA. I love this band. Keep up the great work :-).

Chase, I know there's a whole new album and lots of material from Apex you haven't digested yet, but do yourself and all of us a favor and make your next UTA reaction be to 'Legacy' off the new album. There's no video, but it is simply the most unique metal song I've ever heard; I haven't heard anything like it before, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I am really curious to see what your reaction will be. I'm not sure it's my "favorite" track off of Abyss, but every album run-through I smash that repeat button 3 or 4 times because it's still creating new neural pathways in my brain, and I never thought that would happen at my age. I'd love to get your thoughts on it.

The Cowards Way/False Walls doubleheader 4. 10000 against 1/Earth and Ashes doubleheader (The reason I bundled these together is they are the 4 songs from Apex dealing with the Immortal and the Matriarch’s 4 sons) 5. Call me Immortal 6. Then I would start the journey through Abyss in track order. Brittney has said they wrote the album to be listened to in that way. Keep up the great work!!!
