Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings | Full Album Reaction

[@kaceress02_47]

The guitarrist of every BMTH album Lee Malia, I feel like he's super underrated and almost overlooked. It's insane how he could play every genre that the band went through and how catchy the riffs he made are tbh

[@ashlenamusic]

He is honestly my favorite I found myself always listening for his riffs more than anything

[@carolinecoy3164]

And considering he's a self taught guitarist I'm oli's basement is pretty wild. He really is massively underrated IMO. Slash is my fave guitarist. But Lee is a close 2nd for me. He's very distinctive

[@ConnorSill-i2b]

please do their deathcore medley live, this is after oli learned how to sing properly

[@trapsfd5021]

*how to scream properly

[@EvelynnPlaysGuitar]

oh i second this

[@mentholkaffee]

*This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For* next 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@FIREDAN075]

The vocals are not bad, that is a deathcore this is what it all about. Oli sounded rly good, even tho back then he was screaming via his real cords which led to their damage. Also i suggest you to listen to the first 3 albums of Suicide Silence, amazing band, great divercity in genre especially in the third album Black Crown. (You still may not like it , but why not)

[@matthewmatualage5272]

i really appreciate u doing all of the bmth album

[@ashlenamusic]

It was a blast!

[@roryasrorri701]

[@yetaro_]

This definetely is a Lee Malia album

[@daavidevacca]

lee malia x matt nichols

[@anselpage]

No i actually disagree completely. The guitars aren’t actually that crazy per say but plus voice is very unique in this album and I think it sounds so like out there it fits with the whole era

[@nastassiapukelik5180]

you should listen to this is what the edge of your seat was made for. on spotify it says that it was released in 2013, but it’s bmth first ever ep released in 2004. it’s very short, but still apart of their discography. i’d recommend to do music to listen to album as well.

[@ashlenamusic]

Will do 🤘🏽

[@TheMrWhitechapel]

I actually love to see someone giving their honest opinion to that album. I've been a "deathcore guy" since like 2005 and this is (of course, lol) my favourite album by them (i really like the newer albums too tho) - thanks for at least giving it a try and not turning it off after 10 seconds :D

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha no problem 🥰

[@BETTER.ART.]

Hahaha your reaction to "Fifteen Fathoms, Counting". Exactly the same reaction I had the first time I heard that song.

[@ashlenamusic]

IT MAKES NO SENSE lol

[@jordanious7711]

classic album. One of their best. Just a reminder that BMTH blew up because of the screaming and actually struggled to keep the fan base after changing their sound. Pretty sure pray for plaguea is still one of their most popular songs

[@ashlenamusic]

Yeah and that’s crazy to me! I just don’t get the death core vibe but hey glad they are where they are now

[@apatternedhorizon]

This one is tough. Very Harsh and will only appeal to certain people. Before they really found their footing but definitely put them on the map.

[@ashlenamusic]

And happy for them! It’s definitely not my vibe but I respect it since I see where they are now

[@sprout12730]

Thanks for reacting to all the BMTH albums, it was so fun to follow in your journey! Sempiternal still remains as my favorite album lol. Also how do you feel now that you've listened to their whole discography?

[@ashlenamusic]

My pleasure! And I absolutely love sempiternal, that’s the spirit and next gen the most. I need to listen to survival horror more.

[@FlatOutAnakin898]

I love this album, would love to learn it on guitar and drums one day. Vocally, I don't have the skills, yet anyway 😂 Speaking of the vocals, one thing that might update your perspective is if you think of them as another form of distortion that adds to the effects of the guitars, instead of the 'traditional' vocals you might hear. Still, the more I listened to this album the more they grew on me. They're dirty and imperfect, which stands out to me. A track on their first EP called 'Who wants flowers when you're Dead? Nobody' is probably my favourite from them, vocally you might not be a fan, but instrumentally it's fucking awesome, I think :D

[@ashlenamusic]

I love that song title 🤣 I definitely gotta check that EP out

[@FlatOutAnakin898]

@@ashlenamusic It's pretty fun, who needs sensibility!? 😂 The first two tracks I like, the other two, not as much overall

[@onlymylovable]

Seeing that you aren't a fan of Oli's old deathcore screams, it makes me quite curious what you think of Will Ramos from Lorna Shore. Two tracks I recommend from them are Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames and To The Hellfire. In my opinion his highs are a very refined version of what you hear here.

[@sirtacobell6943]

This album is sick in my opinion 🤯

[@userUSERIT]

07:14 even back then i would choose oli over any `better` singer without hesitation any day. without him the band would be nowhere near where they are today. and more importantly he is the reason why they evolution went into sempiternal, amo, nex gen and all the different genres. that was his vision for the band and he is the mind behind it all. :)) their history and passion is what makes this band so amazing and inspiring to so many people me included. and even with fry screaming and bad equipment, still their albums are more emotional and better than most of today's metal bands that try to copy sempiternal with their sound. oli is my idol. :)))

[@ashlenamusic]

Oh 💯. I think he is super talented and it’s insane to hear his vocal journey.

[@Ryan-hj3pu]

Going back and listening to these old albums is interesting. It really does sound pretty bad now, but man back in 2008 it was amazing. Its how most of these bands sounded quality-wise. I'm not sure if its the technology back then, being unable to afford good equipment and mixing, or just most of these vocalists not having training...but to be fair even still today they are doing studies on harsh vocals trying to better understand it (Will Ramos). Almost all of these guys back in the 2000s damaged their voices. I remember some bands I used to listen to on Myspace recording their albums with oldschool PC microphones lol.

[@ashlenamusic]

Oh I bet. I have to admit the mix of this album wasn’t bad at all it sounds great. I don’t blame these guys for damaging their vocals lol no body knew how to properly scream back then

[@jakehensonn]

Definitely check out their deathcore medley they played at some live shows a few years ago, a lot better sounding & with Oli showing he still has it ( so difficult to actually sound like that 🤣) fun fact as well this whole album was actually recorded with a broken guitar amp but none of them knew because they were so new to it all, but still turned out decent considering 🤣

[@jakehensonn]

& the medley was around the time when people were saying oli couldn’t scream anymore and would never be heavy again because he couldn’t, just to do the medley and sound better than ever

[@ATI_2014]

I wish more people could have been experiencing this album when it came out. Alot of people don't realize how much of a game changer this album was. Staple in the metal scene

[@ashlenamusic]

Same! Although I probably would’ve hated it

[@jonnycutts5254]

Can't wait for you to listen to the next two!

[@scottmiller5785]

Feel better ashlena. Thank you for being kind person and loveing music. ☮️♥️🤠⚡⚡⚡

[@ashlenamusic]

Thank you Scott!!

[@MicroSocialism]

It's funny to think that when bring me the horizon, members were younger, like in the near late teens. These vocals that you're hearing contributed towards Oliver's sikes vocal damage. It eventually healed but it's a great testament to how Oliver's vocals are the way they are and how good he improved.

[@codyboeyinga]

Another band that had a dramatic sound change is Asking Alexandria it would be cool to hear your opinions on that band as well.

[@ashlenamusic]

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to them

[@codyboeyinga]

@ they are personally one of my favorite bands, if you get the chance would love to see a reaction series to their albums.

[@jacoblimon8259]

"(I used to make out with) Medusa" made me get my dad to drive me to the store to buy the album as soon as i heard it 🤘

[@ashlenamusic]

Awww I love that

It's definitely something that Jordan Fish joined bmth in 2012 and from 2013 Oli becomes a much more rounded vocalist. Thank you Jordan for all you did!

[@davidwilcock2416]

This has just been posted. Blew me away, it might even be better than royal Albert Hall! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIrCe5WYrN6FgLcsi=8RI837O0DuXvvyc2 I strongly urge a reaction. 🤪

[@ruanpablo2553]

wich band is next?? architects? knocked loose? bad omens?

[@ashlenamusic]

🤔 not sure

[@leo56jj48]

omg I was waiting for this album 🖤 will you bring music to listen to? The contrast from that to this album is incredible.

[@finnhounjet814]

Now you need to react to the their first EP ‘This is what the edge of your seat was made for’ from 2004 😂

[@matthewmatualage5272]

i think my life is ended when i actually realize this is the last time i waited after along journey i always check every 1 week for bmth reaction from u 😥

[@ashlenamusic]

Awwww there will be more!

[@VascoAnimeee]

you really should react to "deathcore medley" BMTH used to do back in the amo era. its kinda different because he can't scream like this anymore but is interesting to watch

[@ashlenamusic]

Ooo interesting thanks for the tip!

[@userUSERIT]

i love the fact that you try to appreciate where they started from even if you dont get deathcore and dislike olis voice in it :)) loved seeing u react to all the albums even the ones u dont like. idk who told u music to listen to isnt important but to me its like a diary with experimental music. i dont think you'll like it very much but its still an amazing album worth listening. so whats next for your bmth journey then?? :))) looking forward to whatever is next. the wembley live us a must too. :)))

[@ashlenamusic]

Definitely want to see the wembley show!

[@myvampireromance17]

It's the end of pray for plaugues for me..interesting - this album has a place in my heart though understand not everyone's cup of tea

[@massivegamer5200]

To be honest I like this album more then their newer stuff it’s good and has some heavy parts but it’s not the same but I understand why people like the more mainstream stuff more. The screams are great on this album for me but I understand where you are coming from plus if you listen to Mitch luckier from suicide silence his vocals were more raw kind of like this, I know this is not loved by people but what I like that it did was created the mix between metal core and death core and I love it cool reaction keep up the good work

[@ashlenamusic]

Appreciate it!

[@gastonojeda8177]

You should check "The chill out sessions" and "Music to listen to...", i think those are their most expermiental EPs

[@tylermerciless]

Does anyone else see the irony in her calling Oli a bad singer with an Alexisonfire poster? 🤣

[@ashlenamusic]

Um do you know that Dallas green and wade MacNeil are in Alexisonfire…

[@LonePurp]

You should try parkway drive, all of those albums are amazing

[@artdriana]

Like I've said before, I prefer this album over Suicide Season. I want to say few things: 1. I have to disagree that Oli started as a bad screamer. He created this style of screaming, and for what he does and for the year this came out, -in which no one knew how to scream properly like this-, it sounds pretty good. Almost a decade of bad technique, constant goblin screaming and no aftercare as well as dealing with addiction and depression, messed up his chords for good. In suicide season ongoing, you can visibly see him touching his throat singing live because he's in pain. He's mentioned throwing up blood after live performances. Unfortunately, if you go back to seeing performances from that era until a few years ago, it's very clear how bad he messed his voice. Overall I think with Oli's voice, people love it so much for other sentimental reasons that have very little to do with him being a technically good singer. Needless to say he sounds amazing doing screaming and singing nowadays though. 2. The Wembley show. Like I've said before, I would show it to someone if they asked me who this band is. Definitely worth watching as they perform songs they have never -or barely- performed again after it, so this will be the only time you'll hear them live. It came after the release of Sempiternal so bear in mind this is Oli's beginning stages of singing. It's an epic show overall. 3. I appreciate how honest you are throughout this whole journey of their albums. It's very interesting to hear opinions from someone just starting to discover this band. Very positive and thought provoking reactions. I'm sorry for the long comment haha

[@ashlenamusic]

I love a long comment so no worries thanks for your thoughts! And I definitely can’t wait to watch wembley!

[@3k166]

this album was my everything as a 12 year old

[@manuelmartinez620]

Fun fact: pray for plagues was the very first song I've heard from BMTH, I felt so hardcore back then 😅😂

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahahaa amazing

[@viqero]

Love the reactions and your honesty. Pls react to to show at wembley arena you mentioned, it will be worth it

[@ashlenamusic]

Will do 🤘🏽

[@James__________________]

My top 3 songs from this album are 1. Pray for Plagues 2. A Lot Like Vegas 3. (I Used to Make Out With) Medusa

[@ashlenamusic]

Nice!

[@9kerosene]

Now please do the wembley full show

[@Soldierofthepast]

I kind of agree, but the lyrics wouldn’t hit as hard if it wasn’t a deathcore song, where you can really feel the anger and sadness in the lyrics, in an almost animalistic nature. I think since they started as a deathcore song they couldn’t be so direct with their current genre, but deathcore is a perfect shuttle for the feeling of the songs, and each song does almost perfectly establish the meaning and feel of the lyrics

[@ashlenamusic]

Truth

[@Osama_Bin_Ladder]

If you ever wondered what this album would sound like with better vocals in your free time, I’d recommend checking out Will Ramos from Lorna shore’s cover of Pray for Plagues.

[@carolinecoy3164]

I said id suffer this with you,and that i hated it,but i didn't hate it as much as i thought it would be. I couldn't separate the music and gis voice. It just sounded like noise to me. Ad it does sound like hes burping.😂😂 Thats what i always thought about these vocals. But musically it's genius. Iitte 80s trash style at time. Glad i listened. Will deffo listen again. There is a hell onwards is my thing. But i do enjoy me suicide season at times. Gotta be in that mood. And Lee malia has always been the guitarist. Hes so good.❤ Love your videos. So honest. Even if i don't always agree with you. I appreciate the honesty

[@ashlenamusic]

Thank you hun I appreciate it

[@3k166]

you asked if we think "oh this song is fire" then read the lyrics later. yes thats exactly how it goes. i listen to almost exlusively this genre and sometimes i have to read the lyrics 2 or 3 times before i hear it

[@ashlenamusic]

Ok that makes sense haha

[@ianlolz5841]

LMFAOOOOO yes. i was expecting this reaction... and i got it

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahahaa 🙈

[@ianlolz5841]

Oh If you only know how much this 3:20 part got everyone in the deathcore and metalcore community on chokehold lmfaooooo, a simple but very effective breakdown, people perish in these moshpits live definitely 😭😭😭

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahahaha love it

[@alcoholismisvodkay]

gotta admit screaming like that for yrs would have messed up a normal throat. to me this is quite impressive even if i dont get it or find it pleasing to the ear lolol. bring me made deathcore famous with this album nd then changed their genre lol crazy. how lots of their older songs sound soooo much better when they're performing em live years later. example is deathcore medley from 2018. they performed it for olis birthday. sounds incredibly good. live at wembley is So good too.

[@BaSiL_VS]

you definitely should to react to Architects

I'll check it out!

[@James__________________]

You need to get survival horror on vinyl it sounds so great

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha maybe one day!

[@sauljared4395]

it'd be fun to see you react to Lorna Shore - To the hell fire 'cause it's what that genre of music (deathcore) is doing asd of right now, I'm sure you'd like the music but the gremlin voice and the growls from that band are on another lever (I don't think you'd like it) lol

[@AustinWilliams-p5p]

“Great guitar, bad singer”, it’s funny because in 2006 this was peak Deathcore, Oli was considered one of the greatest screamers in the world during this era

[@ashlenamusic]

Insanity lol

[@AustinWilliams-p5p]

@ lol it definitely was a different time. But this was essentially during the creation of the Deathcore genre, there wasn’t anything else to really compare to, Deathcore has since gotten much more refined with current bands, but this chaotic, messy, over the top insanity that sounds sorta shitty was where the genre got its feet 😂

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha makes sense

Hahahaha Post Human Nex Gen is still my favorite. I listen to that’s the spirit and sempiternal about too but Amo is great to listen to at the gym. I don’t find myself listening to survival horror a lot. And I only listen to a couple songs off suicide season and so far only 2 songs from CYB 🤣

[@Myst2099]

As much as I love this band, I’ve never been able to get into this album. I think I’d probably like it A LOT more if the vocals were either gone or similar to there is a hell. I just can’t get into death core vocals lol

[@ashlenamusic]

Same it’s a tough genre for me

It takes a very special kind of person to appreciate, love and 'get' deathcore. It's definitely not for everyone. I found amo to be pretty awful overall and now with the post human albums they are very slowly starting to go back to their roots especially with some of oli's vocals like on kingslayer, Amen and the end of Dig it.
