Banger after banger! - Make Them Suffer "Self-Titled" album reaction

[@daltonevans3412]

I love watching album reactions here cause as a musician yourself you are pointing out details a non musician like me won't pick up on but exolains why certain parts catch my ear or stick in my mind whereas a lot of other metal reactors just listen and basically say "yup, good song" or point out that the chorus is catchy ect ect which anyone can gather, so i appreciate your insight into the musical elements that make the music so enjoyable. So thanks for putting these album reactions on youtube instead of patreon cause i simply cannot afford to pay to subscribe right now, so deep appreciation for putting them up for free man. And i concur, my mother would hate this music too lol.

[@connora3145]

Agreed, this is why he’s my favourite reactor. Also no pausing in the songs. The audio level when he talks during song isn’t too quiet or too loud. Cheers Steve

[@Thepunki26]

No hard feelings is a perfect mix between hard and melodic sound. I love it!

[@Joose]

I wish the chorus had a slower beat, but it's still great.

[@richburnsred]

Amazing song. Absolute banger!

[@shaunmarshall4504]

My favorite song of make them suffer atm, save yourself and elegies being close seconds.

[@d.hodgsky]

I'm definitely going to have this album on repeat for the weeks to come. It gets better after each listen.

[@ManuelJrezOfficial]

The intro and the first track was an absolutely masterpiece!!! 🤘🏽

[@SteveOGRock]

@@ManuelJrezOfficial yeah such a tasty start to the album!

[@deathpower890]

Venusian Blues bringing that Onslow vibe to MTS and im here for it!

[@richburnsred]

100%! What an amazing combo of styles

[@ashleighjane]

I miss Onslow 😭😭

[@noahharper8943]

Sean is definitely imo the best screamer in all genres his lows and highs both can but put in the mass majority of other genres and it’s fits perfectly, especially deathcore. AND!!! He can go lower than this album, their song drown with me shows that at the end of it

[@botkiller-024]

This was truly an amazing album!! Loved each and every song as well as your reaction

[@Jala1236]

No hard feelings is absolute song of 2024 for me. Sonically perfect to my taste. That extended chorus part gives me chills every time

[@ThatsAGoodB0y]

Ok but does it NOTTT give off COD zombies vibes?!? Like am i the only one getting that. Which i absolutely love too, its def my fav song.

[@Jala1236]

@ThatsAGoodB0y im a big fan of COD zombies tracks, especially the OG elena siegman stuff, but im not getting those vibes personally, maybe the piano in the background a little bit? Id like to know where youre drawing the comparisons!

[@ThatsAGoodB0y]

@ the song avacadavra came to my head when i heard those soft falsettos from Alex with that skipping melody in the background, and ya the piano does a big number on that as well

[@Jala1236]

​@@ThatsAGoodB0yyeah it defo didnt come to mind when i heard this but i kinda see what you mean 😁

[@PsychoGoat13]

@@ThatsAGoodB0y I thought the saaame lol

[@tommcpherson7566]

solid album lots of tasty parts, personally i like vunusian blues alot the singing and pace seems very ocean grove influenced with an mts twist and also the backround piano seems very reminiscent of the worlds apart album which had a very ethereal outer planet kinda vibe at parts makes sense with the name but maybe thats just me.

[@itsbiggs2540]

This album is downright amazing I've had it on repeat for multiple days now.

[@lisabyford]

First time i have properly paid attention to this band. Really enjoying the album.

[@nachocheez9690]

Their entire catalog is amazing. Neverbloom and Old Souls are amazing, but more deathcore than Metalcore

[@ashen_strix]

Ghost of Me's last part is so powerful, goosebumps and a little tear when I feel down

[@d.hodgsky]

Doomswitch was my intro to MTS and I've been impatiently waiting for this album ever since. I am not disappointed. It's definitely going to take more listens of the new tracks but this album is a banger. My only possible ick might be the consistent calling out of the name of the song.

[@Lancr-jq2or]

11:32 that Contraband call back riff. Sweet.

[@danielkurtz3045]

The Weaponized opening riff sounds so much like Details Matter from Northlane's Alien. I love it

[@HellSpartanZ]

They need to Change their name to MAKE THEM BANGERS because they didn't miss

[@jhamilton1007]

This album blends the band's classic sound from Never Bloom with their more recent musical style.

[@camdrouilhet6892]

The chorus on Venusian Blues is straight out of Onslow (Sean’s amazing emo(ish) side project). I really wish Sean sang more on the record, but hopefully they’ll add more as release more. Overall, this is a certified slapperoni

[@PaulOG..]

Album of the Year

[@paulw3649]

Make them suffer and Bilmuri have both made albums of the year 🔥 Underrated bands ❤

[@missinbrain]

I saw them live a few months ago and they were amazing! Like ridiculously so. Okay, now I'm gonna watch your video!

[@DavidJones-mj5ju]

Ok, going for a listen to my workout and 🏃‍♂️ run.....

[@0owmjapo0]

It's not even out yet for like another hour on Spotify haha

[@SteveOGRock]

It’s been out in many parts of the world for several hours now as it’s a local time zone release schedule.

[@0owmjapo0]

@@SteveOGRock Yeah, must be nice for those in Australia haha.

[@0owmjapo0]

@@SteveOGRock Not sure if you're aware but The Browning's new album releases in an hour as well. Would be cool to see you check that album out some time

[@Iron_Backyard_ChefX83]

If you haven’t heard it yet, Cane Hill dropped their album November 1st. Absolute banger! Im anxious for the Make Them Suffer album to drop here at midnight in the US 🎉.

[@SteveOGRock]

@@Iron_Backyard_ChefX83 big fan of the Cane Hill album ✅ That’s on my Patreon currently, will be on YT for all soon.

[@TheDjentleman77]

Truly an amazing album from start to finish. 🤘🏻🔥 This an Allt’s album are definitely in the top this year…at least for me.

[@Robit44]

The self-titled is my own introduction to the band. First song I ever heard of them was Ghost of Me. I just finished listening to the album for the first time & I loved, but absolutely, LOVED it. So am I in for an enjoying ride?

[@WhiteChoklit7]

Album slaps!

[@WhiteChoklit7]

Small town syndrome Fkn bangs!!

[@davidpwolfe]

Lol that comment "My mother would hate this music". My mom actually subscribes to my Patreon but can never get through any videos because she can't stand the music. 😂

[@metalcorian]

I don't normally give song suggestions, but I'd suggest you to react to LOW-BLOW! by Headwreck. They're like a delicious combo of Make Them Suffer and Windwaker.

[@SteveOGRock]

Funnily enough I actually reacted to that live on Twitch a couple hours ago and said the exact same thing!

[@ashleighjane]

Holy shit. You listened to Headwreck?!? They're from my town! We're friends! And the singer has tattooed my shoulder ahaha. They're good guys ☺️🫶

[@SteveOGRock]

@@ashleighjane oh siiiiick! That's so cool. I really dug it. That reaction will definitely end up on the channel at some stage.

[@HellSpartanZ]

Weaponized hits bloody hard i love it

[@utd1978]

To all those who have never heard of MTs,u need sort Ur life out,they r awesome

[@JosephChavis-vj8qd]

Un fucking believable album so far it’s album of the year, I’m thoroughly impressed by their range and will be banging this all the way into next year and even after that this is on par with sleep token quality. Btw still suggest you listen to despair by secrets cheers mate

[@robertsimon5245]

Ngl How To Survive A Funeral was a lot more enjoyable for me, still solid album tho

[@d.hodgsky]

Did you just say your mother would hate this music? Hahahah

[@XfreshcakesX]

Whoever wrote the melodies for those choruses were listening to Hole 🤔

[@MrDoBaKflips]

Listened this morning on my way to work. As a big fan from the Old Souls days, I’m mixed. There are some really good songs on here, but there are some absolute duds as well. I’m not sure if this is simply because the singles have been out for so long, or just that the lyrics are generic and don’t mean anything. Riffs are still there, energy is definitely there. Just feels very distilled.

[@doom3crazy]

while I do agree with how you feel, one thing we've gotta remember is HOW HARD it is to make music. And good music at that. As a recording artist myself I have learned to step back more and try and put myself in their shoes. They have alot to try and live up to while trying to remain relevant and have fun. Sean said in an interview that love it or hate it, he also wants to keep going with MTS if he(and the rest of the band) is having fun. The minute it stops being fun, he said he's done. I think we need to cut them some slack. We've been so blessed to get some seriously incredible music from these guys the last 15 years.

[@nachocheez9690]

How dont the lyrics mean anything? What are you talking about? I agree tho, the Neverbloom and Old Souls days are peak, but i dont know why you cant just enjoy what theyre putting out now. You dont have to like it as much as the older albums, or even at all for that matter, but youre not doing yourself any favors thinking about the good old days of a band thats always been evolving over time

[@danielkurtz3045]

I really wish they had gone harder into the indi rock/90s grunge vibe for the entirety of the album. While the singles are overall great, I would have liked to see a unique identity come out in them, instead of just more early 2020s metalcore.

[@SamB-yj8is]

Idk but I found this album kinda underwhelming, might have been bc I listened to it at 4 am but still, didn’t click with any songs apart from the singles. I found almost every Chrous with Alex to be emotionless

[@nachocheez9690]

No hard feelings? Crazy

[@ryanminagh5638]

I have to say as a massive MTS fan, unfortunately I’m a little disappointed by this album, don’t get me wrong it’s a good album, not a bad song on it However it just felt like I was listening to the same song with slightly differnt verses each time Exceptions to Managod and no hard feelings which is an incredible track Doomswitch is still the highlight for me but besides that I don’t feel there nearly enough interesting riffage and drum patterns like in the last album But that’s just me, Alex and Sean were incredible

[@ryanminagh5638]

Ok having heard it a second time it’s a lot better, I don’t know what I felt the first time 😭

[@saavedrakira]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@ryanminagh5638this is my first listening of it and I’m right there with you in your initial statement. I know sometimes albums have like a theme throughout, but can for sure see that some of these songs are too similar across it. Still hyped they made new music though.

[@312streezy8]

Small town syndrome fucks bro you tripping lol

[@ashen_strix]

I think the song arrangement could've been better, they have varied songs but they're mostly near the end. If No Hard Feeling was like the third song, Venusian the sixth, it could've felt a little more fluid!

[@ryanminagh5638]

@@saavedrakira yeah it was better on second listen but I’m still there with the disappointment, I just expect more from previous make them suffer Even in their deathcore days they had plenty of experimentation I also found another gripe which is the production feels flat, particularly the drums

[@thewhitewolf1905]

No hard feelings is the best song on the album to me. The rest of the songs just sound the same and it gets a little boring tbh.
