That outro section could go on for another 10 minutes, and I wouldn't even be mad.

[@Marigold11]

you're welcome

[@michelehovde15]

Caligula's Horse are on a another level. They are the perfect Dream Theater. Graves another mastepiece.

[@iamtheiconoclast3]

Your enthusiasm is heartwarming. :) I heard this track for the first time last night while doing some work. I'm thinking, hey, this is pretty good. Damn, actually this is... yeah... WHOA. WHOA WHAT THE HELL THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.

[@kellylanders8350]

The reaction when they hear the sax...gets them everytime. Love it.

[@maxmaidment96]

This man's voice is legendary. Up there with Casey Crecenzo of The Dear Hunter. Absolutely angelic.

[@mojuy11]

Casey is the modern music messiah

[@Cuzjudd]

Yes Jim Grey is one of the GOATs

[@alexandremarchand8815]

I can't stop headbanging really hard to the ending riff. The whole song is bloody awesome. One of the best 15 minutes of music I've heard too :D

[@TheRealHaloLover]

You're right, this is one of my favorite songs of all time easily

[@optimus]

This is one of the best crafted songs Ive ever heard. These dudes set a bar.

[@wonderwarf8171]

Yo mad props for mentioning Arcane I love Jim Grey in it especially in the first album

[@ChrisPage68]

That was worth it, just to see the ecstasy plastered across your face! Cheers for the name-check. 😉

[@MrSidewinder96]

Would strongly recommend dream the dead, another fantastic song of the same album 🙂

[@MoonJellyGames]

Yes! This is my favourite track from the album-- although, they're all excellent.

[@camilojimenez7318]

yep! dream the dead it's amazing, and songs for no one too

[@bcgbrad5650]

Agreed!

[@Cuzjudd]

@@MoonJellyGames That's because it's one of the best prog albums ever written

[@skoottar]

We all know how good this is. The rest of the world needs to know. This is a piece of work that many people will hear in 20 years and go “wow, why haven’t I heard of this band”. Absolute masterpiece

[@Cuzjudd]

Nope. The world says WAP is the best song :|||||||||||||

[@DonCarnage42]

Would be a damn shame. They'd miss the chance of seeing them live, where they absolutely shine!

[@geoffglenister5535]

This song is the one that made a fan out of me.

[@randomavenger3048]

The first song (Dream of the Dead) and the last one (Graves) are the best one of this album.

[@Cuzjudd]

Jim love your channel! Can you please look into Voyager from Australia as well. Been at the top of the melodic prog metal game in Australia for 10-15 years now. Caligula's Horse support Voyager when they tour here

[@HarryPlaysGeo]

I always come back to watch this reaction. My favourite piece of music in the world, and you express it perfectly

[@gabriela.855]

This song is my favorite. Love it so much

[@MrBranh0913]

Your reaction was something else. This is a very good song, well composed, and hits the right spots technically and emotionally. But your reaction is golden. You really love and appreciate this song and I love the way you express that

[@garytill]

Jørgen Munkeby from Shining on sax in that track, dudes a fucking monster. Listen to his performance on Ihsahns album "After", the track in particular i'd recommend is "On the Shores".

[@MR2GR]

Hey, another band you just listened to a few times. Pick any song from any of their albums and there's a 90% chance you're going to love it. You should give them another listen. I know they won't give you the highest view count, but it will make you happy.

[@humanracin]

That was a great reaction Jim. Now that their new album RISE RADIANT is out, you should check out Salt or the last 2 song combo of Autumn/The Ascent. Again, Caligula's Horse have created another Masterpiece, which in my opinion is their best work to date.

[@taimoordanish3802]

Agreed. Every album of CH is better than the previous one. Rise radiant so just amazing. I have no words to describe how good it is

[@steveoooooo09]

Awesome! This is my favorite CH song probably. Glad you had a chance to check it out!

[@TheCiddan]

Holy shit yes! Anything with Caligula's Horse is an instant thumbs up! They are tremendous. It's between them and Wilderun for me when it comes to modern prog metal.

[@JimNewstead]

Ok.... cool. Another band I don't know - Wilderun?

[@TheCiddan]

@@JimNewstead They've got a new album coming out soon - so now's a great time to check them out. First single here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn3Xcmp7edCfb5Y

[@Cuzjudd]

Have you heard Voyager also from Australia? They are at the top of the prog metal tree in Oz

[@qmiller9]

Yes!! So happy you're finally gotten to Graves. It only gets better with each listen. Great reaction! You seem to feel about them as I do. Please continue on with more from In Contact. Notably, Dream the Dead and Songs for No One. Cheers!

[@simian01]

Strewth! Banger!

[@omukssbm]

Listen to Autumn/The Ascent by Caligula's Horse, off of their new album. Make sure you listen to them back to back.

[@Cuzjudd]

In Contact shits all over anything from the new one sadly

[@emilymaddox8534]

Hello my favorite music reviewer. Just saw tool for the 3rd time and completely unbelievable. I was thinking of the videos of you when your first heard tool. What a amazing experience.

[@almarhulsegge581]

Nice reaction! There are so many talented, yet largely unknown bands out there! If you want another excellent suggestion: try the band Others By No One... their longest song, “Dr. Breacher and the Time Travel Anomaly” is quite simply phenomenal. The singer’s voice is so versatile, and the music, oh the music. Also their somewhat shorter songs “Death of a Clone” (ca. 10 min.) and “Brand-New Remedy” (6 min.) definitely leave the listener hungry for more. If you want fresh, adventurous, new prog metal, this is for you. Think of a combination of Between The Burried And Me, Queen, Native Construct, Mr. Bungle... Others By No One (like another brilliant, too unknown gem of a band called Native Construct) has me hooked for about a year now I guess. Anyway, I hope you’ll try them, or Native Construct, some time. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Love Others by NoOne. Their stuff is crazy great and the guys are super cool.

[@ignamax08]

Gonna check those songs out! Ty for the recomendation

[@squerty0]

Wow, finnaly Graves! Love to see pure joy on your face for each and every section of this song. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as i did when i heard this for the first time. Btw it's Lew Jatan like 'Leviathan' but it was hilarious to hear you saying it in the wrong way. PS. I'd love to see your reaction to Iamthemorning - Lighthouse.

[@GXion]

The whole album is pretty much great, with "Dream The Dead", "Songs for No One" and this one being my top picks.

[@boringvideos2994]

Capulet:(

[@mugwump7049]

Wow, that's a flashy shirt! :D The music's not my cuppa but I like the cover art. The flying people circling around the Moon remind me of a french artist whose name eludes me right now. He was famous for one of his works being used as a jingle on french TV back in the 70s & 80s. I loved that snippet of animation as a kid, it was very poetic. Gah, I wish I could remember his name! Damn brain...

[@stollenstrolch]

I knew you'd enjoy Graves. Such a fantastic song. Pain of Salvation deserves another listen, too. Flame to the Moth is not the best introduction to their sound. Please do yourself a favour and listen to one of these: - Iter Impius / Martius Nauticus II - Nightmist (live version from Ending Themes) - Enter Rain - Beyond the Pale There's a lot more to recommend, but you have to start somewhere and many songs are at their best in context of the whole album.

[@Cuzjudd]

Wait a sec. Do Pain of Salvation have a song called Flame to the Moth.

[@stollenstrolch]

@@Cuzjudd Technically they have two songs called Flame to the Moth. The original version from Scarsick and the acoustic version from Falling Home.

[@stephenhaunch3468]

Really good song and album. After Opeth which is great listen, I will continue to push IQ. Out the same day, the album resistance. Start with Rise, Stay down or Shallow bay.

[@timhunter5280]

Now that we're on the topic of horses, may I suggest "A Horse Called Golgotha" by the band Baroness to you Jim? I guarantee you will like it.

[@jeroen1989]

Or " death rides a horse" by Russian Circles...

[@mairefranck8524]

Salut Jim, sincere & tasty reviewer ! Loved your reactions on tiny different details and parts of this pure "chef d'oeuvre". I didn't know your channel until now. You got a radio voice (maybe you already work in the field...). Anyway, as many viewers, I have my advices to deliver. Check "Slave" by LEPROUS but the "Live at Rockefeller Centre" version (!!!). Absolutely adrenalinizing and powerful piece of performance on stage (an the young drummer Baard Kolstad, is insolently inventive and powerful). Check also BIG BIG TRAIN "East coast racer", especially from 5:40 when begins a crescendo reaching an overwhelming finale. The question is : How did BBC manage to write such a sensitive and epic song about... a simple train??? Magic. Thank you and keep on going, Jim.

[@harddobe]

If Pink Floyd were modern, and had an elite singer.

[@FEARxBREICH]

gotta do Songs For No One now! From the same album.

[@Kyrus92]

I love this band man! They have a lot of great songs, check them out more :)

[@Hangry_Dave]

Cool song. I’ve never heard of them. They had a Two Steps From Hell vibe going on.

[@maxmaidment96]

You should listen to Petty Troubles by Matt Montgomery and Brian Adam McCune. It's 5 songs but it's only 21 minutes in total. The whole thing was recorded in one day with an orchestra that had just come together for the day. They released a youtube video a few years after its release talking about the process. It is such a beautiful orchestration and they are almost completely unheard of. Now that I think of it, you can watch the performance itself on youtube along with the music.

[@JimNewstead]

Sounds good! Like the idea of that! 👍🏻

[@pasit1738]

Very much Flower Kings vibe, but not that improvised. Great sounds!

[@markblaauw4961]

Pure Art. Normally I listen to some more harsh metal, but I enjoyed this a lot. Speaking of more harsh try Cyborg Octopus: Baptism of Clay. Proggy melodic death metal.

[@ChrisPage68]

I checked a few Cyborg Octopus tracks. Liking them so far. Thanks for the recommendation. 🤘

[@maxmaidment96]

Is that... a SITAR?!

[@markblaauw4961]

@@maxmaidment96 In the intro? I thought so, yes.

[@maxmaidment96]

@@markblaauw4961 yeah and they bring it back towards the end. sounds dope

[@Cuzjudd]

Cyborg Octpus is the best thing I've heard in my life

[@dutchmastah07]

More The Mars Volta 😁

[@thomblack736]

More volta yes!!

[@DonSampa]

Still waiting for Opeth's New album reaction mate. Just saying. It is amazing tho. Cheers!

[@pluto_rising]

Yes i cant wait to see his reaction to the whole album, its incredible !!! Best Opeth album in a long time, for me personally (: x

[@tommccaver3233]

Try Memory Palace by Between the Buried and Me, and Omega by Periphery

[@NaumAlberto]

I recommend Textures - Awake (progressive metal)

[@timkaufhold6163]

Luna lee makes old tunes new you will love her.

[@dajconnell1]

Next you should do Crumbling Castle by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

[@MrSidewinder96]

Also please for the love of GOD react to thank you scientist 😅 songs include fxmldr , anchor and my famed disappearing act

[@gabiesiren]

yeah Jim, Caligula's horse born out of the ashes of Arcane ! too much quebecer good beer mixes your brain.. ah ah ah

[@m0nkalamari69]

Russian Circles - Station, please.

[@adamwolfgram9507]

Try Between the Buried and Me - Silent Flight Parliament live in the studio

[@quadparents]

The Aristocrats - Terrible Lizard

[@atharvakarandikar441]

This sounds like it could be the intro for Pokemon.

[@Tanner-2]

What the heck

[@jimofthenorth8090]

Oh hello you're back :) guess that means i'm back to requesting you check out the excellent Pelican. Right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXLZdaqbnbeDqbc hoping some other viewers will also check it out and get this comment liked up for Jim's attention
