Oh, and "I have the power of a dying sun, I climb the alter and take my place as God" must be, MUST BE, the greatest lyric intro for a breakdown ever. It is incredibly epic & poetic for a breakdown. I just want to shout that at the top of my lungs whenever I hear it! 😅

Interesting how you described your daughter's reaction to Secret Garden. Courtney also described it as beautifully sad, while I got more of an uplifting vibe like you did. Just goes to show how people interpret music so differently. This is easily one of my favorite albums of the year, along with Wallflowers, Fortitude, and Kostolom. There is good variety throughout, yet it all still feels connected. It was also really cool to see them have so much success with the release. BTW a lot of the shots from Circle With Me were done with a camera mounted on a circular track above the stage. They showed some behind the scenes clips of it. Can't remember if it was on Instagram or elsewhere.

All of your comments are spot on. This is my AOTY. I love how you point out about the bass. One of my favorite things about Spiritbox is the bass tone. This album takes you on a ride of waves, up and down, it really is an adventure. One of the most talented acts out there.

The Summit is such an amazing song…I was actually not a huge fan of Yellow Jacket, but they did so many interesting things with this album to fit almost any kind of mood…there’s a song/vibe for it all.

The chorus in Yellowjacket is next level but the verses are strange

Bro, I LOVED that you broke this down at halfway point like you were flipping a record over on a turntable. I felt the same thing when I got to Holy Roller. Like it was starting the second act to this great masterpiece.

I love this album it doesn't seem to age and tbh I love the way the whole band gets the chance to shine through the whole album. In my opinion Spiritbox are the band everyone should look too. I think we need a BMTH and a Spiritbox collab.

the Sun Killer chorus is just 👌 perfecto

I love that you mentioned connecting with your Daughter through Secret Garden. The song and video leave so much for interpretation. It's beautiful to see what your daughter interprets from the music you appreciate yourself. This band is really good at staking something into the soul. The title track Eternal Blue is my absolute favorite... so far.

There's a lot of bands doing more interesting stuff with pull-backs and stops but to me this album says that SB have already MASTERED the form. Incredible debut, fully deserving all the praise it gets. And yeah Bill's bass tone comes through real nice, totally agree with your angle on it. Also that outro on Halcyon fucking WRECKS me every time, I absolutely adore a banging metal outro and it gets full marks. Now listen to Sleep Token! The Offering, Higher, Hypnosis or High Water are all worth checking out to hear their heavier side

when she screamed this part: "And now I carry you with me Wrapped in my thoughts like a spider web I let your words get the best of me An unconditional relevance Digested Spit out and then Misdirect This bitter end" It means that this message talks about a very sad situation, but also a moment of anxiety and depression. this is my theory

I had a feeling you'd react to the full album and I'm so glad you did. It's such an amazing album. And Secret Garden is such a good song to introduce your daughter to metalcore with. Honestly Spiritbox in general is a good band for that because they don't stick to any one element of it. They don't box themselves into having one set sound and they don't shy away from mixing the softer elements and harder elements of the genre.

KZread recommended your album reaction. Thus, I am just now finding you. In reference to Circle With Me - Mike did an interview and if I remember correctly, Dana Willax (vocalist for Kingdom of Giants) did the videography/what have you. Check out Kingdom of Giants if you haven't. They are a 🔥 band.

It's so difficult to choose a favorite song on this album since every single one is a goddamn masterpiece. So glad I discovered this band! Deffs my favorite metal band, if not favorite band in general tied with Jinjer. Just can't get enough of either of them and am super excited they're getting the recognition they deserve.

Such a great debut album from Spiritbox, feel like they had a lot of expectation & they've more than met it. Would also love to see your take on the new Trivium album, some very cool riffs & instrumentals all over the place & the hooks & grooves ofc. 🤘😁

I'm 3 months late watching this listen-through and that comment jumped out to me too. The Summit is my favorite track on the album. It's not the heaviest track (it's arguably the lightest); it's not the most technically intricate; it doesn't have a bunch of time changes, just the one half-time breakdown; and it has no harsh vocals other than a light backing layer for texture during the breakdown. Critics would say it's the most radio-friendly and probably furthest from the band's core sound. But it has a fantastic melody through verse and chorus, some entrancing rhythms in the vocals, and just *flows* perfectly throughout. That flow is exactly why Josh's APC call is right on point. I've been trying to nail down that familiarity too, so I'm glad he finally solved it for me.
