[@aviationsband]

Wow thank you so much for giving this lengthy song of ours a chance! I guess we also owe your Patrons a huge thank you for requesting this song. Keep up these awesome reaction/song analysis videos and thank you again! :)

[@whoisharo4689]

Geebz! Pin this!!

[@DEATHrocket777]

My god, I can actually hear the bass and it's sooooooo warm and buttery! Thank you for that! Great work you guys, and kudos to whoever did the mixing for turning the bass up! This was awesome!

[@BearBronson]

I'm so glad Geebz gave you dudes a listen. Y'all been working on this album for ages, and everyone needs to hear this shit.

[@familiarsting4108]

First time I’ve hear you guys. Fuckin beautiful.

[@KeyOfGeebz]

It was an absolute pleaser to experience Avaitions hard work and the passion of creativity, musicianship, and pushing your music forward was a blast to react to! AWWWRIGHT!!

[@METALBIRB]

Finally Geebz did it!! So glad you were floored

[@bl0odm1st7]

😂

[@thawolf5921]

MB I see you on everyones channel. You are such a huge supporter of this community. Props to you for being so fucking awesome

[@adambenjamin2692]

God-tier reaction video. Thank you so much for the compliments to my pipes and my fellow shredders in Aviations. We appreciate you listening and analyzing this monster. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

[@SGIABC]

You guys deserve a lot more attention. You all rock!

[@WernerErkelens]

So glad you enjoyed the video Geebz! It was awesome to hear your take on the song and that you singled out the fact that we must've been REALLY stoked to release this tune when we did. I can tell you that we REALLY were that stoked and still are! 🤩

[@Birdseed99]

Whoever recommended Aviations to Geebz, you’re doing good work out there!

[@RonGroves]

This is like a perfect blend of Tesseract + The Contortionist + Animals as Leaders. Amazing!

[@jos-feratu]

Whenever I don’t know what to listen to, I check your channel and I discover fantastic songs such as this. Thanks Geebs!

[@JaySay]

Absolutely true! It has been a long time since i've heard such a fantastic clean singer in a harder prog band like these guys.

[@capitalisk1194]

Always a pleasant surprise the songs that come through here. Never expected aviations to make the list. Keep in mind "dizziness explained" for your next song by them 🙌

[@floridabelle]

This is where KZbin is a blessing instead of a curse. So many people are hearing this via reactions channels. It's how I first heard it about a year ago. For you to release it from Patreon will help it be heard even more. 🙂

[@Robin19196]

“There won’t be a place without sun / With a will to wait and a heart to run.” Beautiful. 💕

[@johnladd8421]

As opened minded as i think i am, i still get stuck in ruts. and every once in a while i’ll hear something and go “ Wow!” This is one of those. thanks Geebz

[@deliriumcb5959]

Same. Blew my socks off in a way that I know I've heard this kind of thing before, but to hear it so well done...well, it's something special.

[@BearBronson]

Man, so glad you covered Aviations. These dudes have been around FOREVER now, and I'm glad to see people on here getting into them.

[@kylehynes2888]

Wow.... just wow..... i'm crying here with how amazing an experience that song and reaction was. Thanks for creating this Aviations, you've made a new fan out of me. And thanks for sharing and reacting Geebz. So much appreciation!

[@commonsense7754]

Epic. Another new band to check out.

[@ckokomo808]

It’s cool seeing so many people discover this group on your channel. This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Talk about a journey! They’re a pretty underrated band IMO. Thanks for sharing their music Geebz!

[@iana1911]

Extremely underrated. Even their debut album that this song was originally on is a masterpiece.

[@BarnabyDiego123]

And yet again, Geebz introduces me to another band that blew my mind. These guys will definitely be added to the rotation. 🤙

[@blizzyb9437]

Wow glad i checked this video out, never heard of this band before even though im a progressive metal fan. Sounds like a love child between the contortionist and arch echo and its amazing. Thanks Geebz!

[@SudoFuser]

100%! Don't know Arch Echo, admittedly, but The Contortionist is a top 5 band for me and the parallels are definitely there. Kinda sounds like if they mixed the Intrinsic sound with Clairvoyant. Really sold on this band after this one song.

[@hrothgarnogar]

I thought the same and turns out it was mixed by Adam Bentley of Arch Echo :)

[@trfmusic902]

Oh my God, what did I just experience?! It literally had everything in this one piece of masterpiece! 💯

[@carolynm.7530]

First off, Good morning Geebzs & to all! This is my very first listen to the band Aviations and I really really love their potent blend of beautiful melody with the piano piece alongside the intricate, powerful, & completely outstanding musicianship.What a great song. Beautiful voice also! I'm checking out their discography now. What a cool surprise for today! 💜🤘🎶

[@ethangibbs3688]

Masterpiece of a song

[@thawolf5921]

Been waiting on this one forever.

[@CO6883-o3c]

Man talk about an early present!!! Didn't think you were doing anymore vids for the rest of 2021 much less one of my favorite songs! Glad you liked!! 🤘🤘🤘 Thanks to MetalBirb for highlighting this over a year ago where I first discovered it, thanks to whoever recommended this to Birb, and thank you Aviations for blowing my mind. 🤘🤘

[@escher2112]

For those of us that were raised on Prog (Genesis, Floyd, King Crimson, DT, Flower Kings, Fates Warning... etc.) - This band is such a breath of fresh air! This is one of those songs that you go out and upgrade your headphones for.

[@MrGreendayzed]

With the start i thought it was gonna be almost like a meditation track then turned into a 80's ballad about holding on, then goes math rock, then full Djent mode and then a 90's heroic movie score. It's a journey like a pink floyd song. 16:35. That's what i said lol.

[@adarshmenon8247]

You have to check out captain no beard by aviation’s too, they’re such an amazing band

[@lachlanrusin987]

Hell yes! I love this band! They need more love from the world

[@ryanbrunner5879]

Played a show with these guys a few years ago, glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve.

[@VastIllumination]

Aviations are amazing. They are all Berklee School of Music graduates (Boston, MA) - so definitely well trained. Such a great band.

[@DingDangJon]

I'm so glad you were able to find this incredible and highly underrated band!

[@StevenKrug]

This song made me fall in love with this band pretty much instantly earlier this year. Another great reaction!

[@billnole2188]

Holy crap, what diversity, like 3 songs in one. Thanks for the intro. I'll check these guys out further.

[@Dwaynehees]

Its finally here!!!🔥🔥🖤

[@billtbodger]

Surprisingly enjoyable and relaxing, very intricate in places, supremely well played and sung, will have to look them up further in the near future, big love bro 🤘

[@BrakZak]

As always, awesome reaction Geebz, and many thanks to you for introducing me to a new band! However regarding the song itself, to me it felt the entire time like they were just showing off their (admittedly awesome) musicianship, but it didn't work as a track/song for me I guess I don't have the capacity to fully appreciate it like you said..

[@trevorwalden6097]

Absolutely brilliant composition! What bothers me about most crossover metal bands is that the transitions between sections usually feel forced or are poorly executed. This group is masterful at utilizing contrast (if everything is heavy, none of it is) and isn't afraid to show genuine passion and craftsmanship. Superb. I'm usually a fan of more extreme metal, but this band blew me away.

[@VulgrDisplay]

never heard of this band that song was incredible got to check out everything else.

[@hermanperez3220]

So glad you are reacting to such an underrated band.. This is such a masterpiece..!

[@ericr839]

Heh. Played a show with these guys in 2014. They were sick then and they're sick now. Great analysis.

[@Kiery86]

My God!! What a beautiful composition, damn right, buddy!! Love that sort of music! Inspiration for the music of my own band too! That phenomenal combination of gorgeous ambience and melodic pieces with heavy riffs thrown in. Absolutely love it! I’ve been playing drums for 26 years, and would love to develop and have a further comprehension of progressive drumming! Thanks, Geebz! Really needed that tonight! Love the Forrest Gump impersonation btw!😊👍🏽

[@JayRossProductions]

your channel showed up randomly which makes me very happy. i absorb music like a heart and love it like a robotic sponge and this video really let me connect with someone that appreciates things musically as much as i can. OUTLIERS. it’s pretty it’s brutal it’s a feeling. i don’t have places to use my words for this feeling but i’m glad i said what i said.

[@ronforeman8394]

seriously one of the best songs I've heard in the last couple years, glad to see your take on it!

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

This is really good.. Your my go to for different music.. Will be checking these out....

[@lukecovey14]

Just found these guys last week and every damn song is a masterpiece. They blow me away every single time. Deserves sooo much more recognition!

[@maximeamblardbergeron7823]

Thank you very much for this song of Aviations! It was absolutely delightful to listen and a great discovery at the same time.

[@iana1911]

So glad you finally did this song! I've been waiting ever since you started your channel for this one. One of the best songs to come out of the 21st century in my humble opinion.

[@JordanLavigneVineofLifeAlchemy]

I am SO glad you did this one and put it on for us!!!!

[@evaetterer6000]

This band is so good and this song is amazing ! I can say music was my first love and last love ! Greatings from germany ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[@AllOutOfEnemies1]

One of my best friends graduated with these dude. I've been listening to this EP since the day it came out with very few listeners on Spotify. Underrated doesn't do this band justice

[@JohnSmith-fl4bj]

Great 'new to me' band to check out. thanks. Your comment about 'listening stamina' is spot on. A lot of people, and even those who appreciate music in it's many forms, don't make/take the time to fully listen to the depth (and length) of tracks like this and bands like this - in the 'prog' or experimental spectrum. Attention span to fully appreciate is absent. I often get comments that bands I like have songs that are too long! Yet that song has had about 3 or 4 movements/sections that sounds totally different and unique. Sure, it might be more challenging to listen to and digest and appreciate, but damn the pay off is sweet.

[@Istielthia]

I first heard this song on another reaction channel, and immediately thought that it would be a perfect song for you to cover.

[@ryans8907]

YESSSS. You gotta do another aviations song. I highly recommend "Quest" as your next one. My personal favorite song by them

[@Linguistic1]

I agree with what you say about the structure of a "song." I shared this tune with my brother after watching this video, and he took a week to listen to it because he had to be in the right mindset.

[@MrMcFattyfat]

Great reaction, really hope you check out more from these guys. I would highly recommend Captain No Beard, which they put out a video for not too long ago, and which i think might be the most rhythmically satisfying song i have ever heard in my life. Other than that, Nineties Nine Ties and Dizziness Explained would be the go to, though there are still some other really solid songs on their Light Years album.

[@monniemaeko2951]

Coming back to this again it’s still hilarious when you say “I’ll be here for 2 hours!” 😂

[@badtaste2255]

This man HAS to listen to Wilderun.

[@adamhenton6221]

Well isn't this a pleasant surprise ☺️. Man this song is dope🤘

[@DeagleLas]

Thanks to your patreons and you for releasing it! Great stuff! Awwright!

[@EdemilsonFernandesVieira]

This band is amazing!

[@Tankgrl5]

A few more for your consideration: . Hiatus Kaiyote - Jekyll (black and white video) . MoonChild - NPR Tiny Desk Concert . Outkast - B.O.B . Outkast - Hey Ya . Common - When We Move . Janelle Monae - Tightrope

[@mephisto_333]

Late to the party... came from Geebz's analysis of "Pure". Wow Wow Wow!! Usually I'm wary of this genre because I feel like too many musicians just treat it like technical death metal. Not that I don't love some tech death, but what I mean is they (in my opinion) use the genre as a means to express technical mastery at the expense of something lyrical. For me this track is a crowning achievement of progressive metal and music in general! ❤

[@larsmiles7231]

Werner's cover videos are one of the main reasons I bought a Dingwall bass. Great player, and great band.

[@Airdown]

Boosting engagement 👍. Awesome stuff!

[@jonfoy9166]

Right on man.

[@alphared4655]

By God, I'm on a wave of brilliance here. This has never been my type of music (math fusion metal???!???) I guess...idk...lol. but these guys are awesome

[@kornhelius]

Would love to see you react to The Reign of Kindo!

[@tylerdurden5593]

You should listen to Make Them Suffer, I recommend Neverbloom or Contraband. You're channel is great, thanks for your work!

[@thebigjaw4198]

Wish they included the piano part the skipped out on in the music video, it's beautiful

[@newworldotter8583]

When I was in high school I had to read les miserables and it was kind of a struggle to get through all of it because it was so long, but it was so worth it by the time I finished the book. Listening to really long prog songs like this kinda feel like I'm reading that book again.

[@yowter8265]

This is the version of new era for dream theater sound.

[@jasonluke6364]

I get Dream Theater vibes from this song

[@NotRKelly.]

Thanks Geebz

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

once you return, Goliath by The Mars Volta might be a good one to visit

[@Mono-eu3so]

Whenever youre off your break, you should maybe check out one of these: Without Saying Anything - Beardfish Comfort Zone - Beardfish

[@itar2521]

Bring Me the Horizon - Doomed Live at The Royal Albert Hall is a must watch for am old composer like yourself.

[@Bynkowsky]

Hello I’m from Poland so I have 2 sugesttions for U First is Vader -i am who feasts upon your soul Vader is a Polish death metal band from Olsztyn. Formed in 1983, the group was founded by then-bassist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek and guitarist Zbigniew "Vika" Wróblewski. Vader went through several lineup changes over the years, with Wiwczarek as the only constant member. Since 2011, the band has comprised Wiwczarek on guitars and vocals, guitarist Marek "Spider" Pająk, bassist Tomasz "Hal" Halicki, and British drummer James Stewart. Starting as a heavy metal group, Vader eventually went to thrash, speed, and then in the late 1980s became a death metal band. It would not be until nine years after forming that they managed to release their debut album The Ultimate Incantation (1992); Vader has released eleven more studio albums since then. The band's name was inspired by Darth Vader from the Star Wars film series. Lyrical themes include stories by H. P. Lovecraft, World War II, and horror. According to Billboard magazine, by 2002 Vader sold approximately 500,000 releases around the world. Second is Acid Drinkers - blues beat down Acid Drinkers are a Polish thrash metal band formed in September 1986 in Poznań. Acid Drinkers were formed on 21 September 1986 consisting of Tomasz "Titus" Pukacki (vocals, bass) and Robert "Litza" Friedrich (guitar, vocals). The band's style is thrash metal, with influences of heavy metal and hardcore punk. Acid Drinkers are rated as one of the most important bands in the Polish thrash and heavy metal world. All the best !!! Listen and Enjoy 🤘🏼

[@Prognosis__]

What a lovely place in Hawaii you live.

[@Wyndigayle]

Just watched your breakdown of Stricken by Disturbed. Would really love to see you revisit the band by analyzing their song, The Vengeful One.

[@Tankgrl5]

One more for consideration: . Lacuna Coil - Sword Of Anger

[@Pfurlan26]

Give The Horse by A Wilhelm scream a listen!!! Also this song slaps

[@jasondettman2058]

Aviations have a new song out called Safehouse. It’s a super fun jam!

[@matthewworden6095]

You HAVE to do a video on their latest song “Coma.” It’s mind blowing.

[@MinimumGnome]

First time hearing this band. If Polyphia & Brendon Urie had a baby...

[@vanilla_milkshake]

enjoy your vacation GEEEEEEBZ!!

[@wrldwideindifference]

have you considered doing some reactions to electronic music? I Broke My Robot (the solo project of Robert Hartless) is something i think you could really enjoi. "The Afternoon We Tried Suicide" or "Take Alphacalm" are great reference points.

[@Tankgrl5]

If you haven’t already. Please react to CAFO by Animals As Leaders.

[@Doomgutt]

Hey, love the content, might I suggest something by Ween? If You Could Save Yourself or perhaps Transdermal Celebration? Or anything else from their impressive discography really

[@estrangedrealm9640]

Yesyesyesyesyes

[@ingerbinger6108]

React to erasure by Anubis gate. The mix opens up in a beautiful way.

[@Haxxwell]

im so sorry for the language but FUCK YES

[@thebigjaw4198]

Would love to watch your reaction to Winters Wake by Archeologist

[@mclovinlife4018]

It’s really difficult to make a 10 minute song good and bearable, but aviations did it right

[@daggerSLADE]

Have you discovered Fear Factory yet? The album “Obsolete” from 1998 is a metal tour-de-force .. crunchy and meaty with tons of double bass chuggy riffs ..

[@harleythesalami6956]

Geebz, you need to check out GHOST. One of the biggest bands on the rock and metal scene right now. Square Hammer is a great place to start.

[@sylm6665]

Double Barrel Friday request- King Diamond “Abigail” and Mercyful Fate “Desecration of Souls”

[@ishak540m]

As if Haken and Animals as Leaders had a baby.

[@daspeach666]

Bro! Check out Whispered! you'll love it!

[@sallyschildcare]

Give RUSSIAN CIRCLES some love man xx

[@Travishawk]

Have to check out Eternally Apart by Phinehas! Such a rad song

[@RageToOverCome]

Please do Dimmu Borgir "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse"

[@XxTW0F4C3DxX]

I’d really like a reaction to Survivor’s Guilt by Pangaea
