black midi - Cavalcade | Album Reaction and Review

[@jonnykhatru]

Saviours of modern prog or overhyped nonsense? YOU DECIDE! Is Cavalcade the best album of the year so far?

[@roytorres1215]

What a greaaat album, Dethrone and Ascending Forth was my favs (new one's) I loved

[@jonnykhatru]

I reckon my favourite at the moment is Slow but I have a feeling Ascending Forth will be my favourite in the end...!

[@RichBurrell]

Great review mate! It’s definitely my album of the year so far. There are rumours that they have another album out later this year...so watch this space...!

[@jonnykhatru]

Cheers, I appreciate it. Yeah I heard about the other album they've got cooking, Hellfire! Can't wait 😃

[@fynnborchers6306]

Great review and very intelligent analysis !

[@jonnykhatru]

[@jonnykhatru]

@@shaunspark8036 so good to hear from you Shaun, how good is this album!! I remember you saying this band was just getting started and you were right. Thanks for stopping by 😄

[@shaunspark8036]

@@jonnykhatru glad to give you a sub and hear your thoughts! hehe, I sent you their early singles and you weren’t so keen at first. I mean, if you want my two cents...black midi is just a poor man’s Fuente....

[@jonnykhatru]

Hehe cheeky ;) yeah I remember not being too into the singles, but Schlagenheim I was well impressed with. And you said yeah but they're still so young, wait and see... And here we are. They're smashing it!

[@AmbroseCadwell]

Single master of Slow is slightly louder than on the album.

[@jonnykhatru]

Makes sense 😅 currently my personal favourite track!

[@pipjr3927]

glad to be on board Jonny. Great vid :)

[@jonnykhatru]

Great album, great review! The British Prog Punk revolution marches on! ✊

[@jonnykhatru]

Thanks mate 😁 exciting time for new music without a doubt!

[@r7coo]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!

As a Crim head (like look at my pfp's shirt I'm a massive fan) I love that you gave S&BB a shoutout on screen. Red and Larks are great but imho S&BB is better. Anyways, honestly I love the new BM release, it's easily my favorite album of theirs and possibly of all-time. I literally wrote an email to all the teachers I bonded with over music in HS giving what was basically a review of this album

[@jonnykhatru]

Hell yeah, I usually say Genesis is my favourite band but that King Crimson is the greatest band. Red is probably my favourite but S&BB is also amazing and quite underrated. I think it's the most appropriate comparison for just how chaotic and rough it is, yet always under control (by Supreme Leader Fripp!) 😁 thanks for watching!

[@liamcolley2902]

Great review! Totally agree with your comparison to Crimson, I got some Larks Tongue vibes after listening to John L when it was released and it soon became my most anticipated album of the year and didn’t disappoint! If you haven’t, check out their KEXP set, blew my mind!

[@jonnykhatru]

Yeah man, it blew my mind too 😁

[@FloydManFloyd]

There's a "listening party" video on KZbin for this album that has a really amazing synth/guitar soundscape before the start of the first song, have you heard it? I'm not sure if it was included on the actual release but it's one of my favourite parts of the whole thing along with the crooning on the second half of ascending forth :)

[@jonnykhatru]

I didn't see that listening party cuz I was saving my first listen for this video, so I just now went to check it out. The "interview" at the start and end was funny! and yeah that droning intro was awesome. It's not on the actual album. At first my favourite track was Slow but in the end I think John L is the best. It's a brilliant album overall, like all the best prog albums each song offers something different and special. I gave it a 4.5!

[@FloydManFloyd]

@@jonnykhatru listen listen listen pilgrims!

[@jonnykhatru]

I just read that the Introduction track does appear on physical versions of the album! How weird that they didn't include it on the digital/streaming version.

[@rickilmito9364]

Hearing just short clips of the album makes it sound even weirder than it already is😂 great video!

[@jonnykhatru]

Hahaha yeah I did enjoy doing those edits. Cheers!

[@EzioMonty117]

14:39 oh hey that's me :D

[@jonnykhatru]

Hey hey that's awesome! Nice comment 👌😄 thanks for watching

[@RUBIKP-lt7qi]

Amazing Job, Amazing Album Aoty. New Sub

[@jonnykhatru]

I have to agree, AOTY so far! Thanks for watching

[@IAMGIFTEDASF]

Please react to parannoul - to see the next part of the dream

[@jonnykhatru]

I've seen that album on the RYM chart of 2021. It has lovely cover art. I'll certainly consider it. Thanks for watching!

[@LfunkeyA]

is every band in this wave gonna have corny vocals though?

[@jonnykhatru]

what can I say man, I like the vocals! they're much better than on Schlagenheim, no?
