REACTING to JINJER (On The Top) 🎤🎸🔥

[@benbrice5544]

Jinjer - Pit of Consciousness. The official video and the Live in Kiev version are both amazing.

[@cooltechnician]

Ben Brice this man is wise👆🏼

[@eatfrenchfriesnow]

THIS ^^^^^^^

[@ЛимпКот]

Yes

[@yolandria]

Kiev version please! She is a pure beast live!

[@Tunguska688]

I definitely second the idea of double future (official video and live performance) of Pit of Consciousness. However knowing Chase's quality to dissect music to the minutest particle, we might be in for at least half an hour future. Which in itself is not a bad perspective at all :)

[@DraconisLupus]

The statement that says it best. "It's just Jinjer doing Jinger things." Nothing else describes them better.

[@jayhegener3028]

Another superb reaction. This is one of the few channels where I'm constantly going "Why isn't he talking more? He needs to stop and talk!" Couldn't agree more about her stage presence, she is riveting. All the more remarkable since, by all accounts, she's fairly shy and retiring in everyday life.

[@ChaseCarneson]

So happy to hear this comment, Vs shit up and watch the video haha. Refreshing to say the least. Glad you're enjoying them

[@jayhegener3028]

@@ChaseCarneson It helps that you are articulate and insightful.

[@Brombit]

I say go harsh! Sit Stay Roll Over. but also Judgement & Punishment, and Pit of Consciousness ;)

[@retoddedfields]

“I Speak Astronomy” is probably the track that they claim themselves, as one of their favorites. “Retrospection” needs a reaction. Maybe u could create a poll?🤷‍♂️

[@rkuntz]

Haste the Day! Saw them at both final Indy concerts. Love those guys.

[@jpxmoz6026]

Eugene is such a beast as a bass player ! already saw them 2 times and they are so good. And your right tati has a huge presence on stage.

[@Module79L]

4:30 - If my ears don't trick me, I believe Roman is using an octaver effect in this song. That's the high "timbre" your hearing in the guitar tone. He rarely uses modulation effects, in fact the only other song where he uses it is Perennial. He has a stage amp but it's only for stage presence and/or monitoring because all the sound that's coming out of the P.A (or in this case, the sound that we're hearing) comes directly from his Helix pedalboard. 10:40 - Have you noticed the laptop next to Vlad? That where all the pre-recorded noises, extra guitar tracks and vocal harmonies come from. It also provides a click track for him to follow so that all those pre-recorded tracks fall precisely into their places. That speaks volumes about Vlad's ability to play all the intricate drum works and still manage to be the time maestro for the rest of the band. 13:38 - Yup. That bass is one of a kind and was made exclusively to Eugene by an ukrainian bass luthier. Of course, Eugene wanted to have the band's name on the fretboard. I don't know if you noticed but Roman's OD Guitars' baritone also has Jinjer's logo on the 12th fret. ; ) Another nice reaction and anlaysis, as usual. Greetings from Portugal. : )

[@whrussy]

No disrespect to Dmitry Kim because he was actually really fucking good and is an amazing drummer, but Vlad has been the absolute perfect puzzle piece for this band as made evident with micro/macro & now wallflower. This band is just going up and up and I hope this lineup stays put for another decade + of albums.

[@TheCokee47]

Next Jinjer songs need to be "Retrospection" or "Punishment and Judgement"

[@notdynomonkey]

APE, APE,APE,APE ......Official video. Awesome reactions.....best reactor of music on KZbin!!!!

[@dansullivan7220]

Definitely need Judgment and Punishment. That song will go places you never expect.

[@douglascobb]

"Ape" and "No Hoard of Value" would be two great Jinjer songs to react to -- great analysis of their songs so far, for sure!

[@Qyngali]

Totally agree, but IMO he could just pick whatever YT shows as a suggestion lol.

[@douglascobb]

@@Qyngali Right, really, as all of Jinjer's songs are great! I was just mentioning two songs that Chase has not yet covered, but nay of them are pretty stellar, for sure!

[@damonbrown5424]

Vlad is such a lyrical drummer. His phrasing is so unique to him. I think he was the missing piece in Jinjer reaching their potential. All of their previous drummers were very technically proficient, quality musicians. But none of them had the almost virtuoso feel that Vlad does. With time and practice, many musicians can learn to play fast and/or complicated music. But the ones that show an understanding for the subtleties - what not to play, when to use unconventional techniques in a conventional way - are true prodigies. Since adding Vlad to the group, I think that description now applies to everyone in the band.

[@marianneskaf5417]

yes for more Jinjer !!!!!

[@theseanie9958]

Seeing jinjer live is such an experience. I saw them just before this album dropped. They played Retrospection, which is definitely worth checking out

[@j.lahtinen7525]

As a testament to how exceptional Jinjer is, is that prior to hearing "Pisces", there was not a single song with growling (or fry screaming) that I had heard, where I didn't hate the screaming. I still don't like it with most bands, though I tolearate it more. But with Tatjana doing it - I don't know why, but it just sounds so much better than with any other singer I know. I had been exposed to metal before, and some metal I liked a lot (like Nightwish), but Jinjer kinda opened my mind to explore things I hadn't before considered worth exploring.

[@Doug_Hannon]

Same. I generally don't care for harsh vocals. Jinjer and Maximum the Hormone are really the only bands I enjoy that employ it. Both use a mix of harsh and clean vocals, which I think helps the music flow better. I need to have a melody to really like a song, even in metal.

[@hypervatric]

I was fortunate enough to see Jinjer live in Atlanta last September, one of the best live bands I've ever had the pleasure of seeing

[@johnlawsonjr.8883]

You are definitely my favorite Jinjer reactor. You are one of the few people that pays attention to everyone not just Tati. She's so talented everyone locks in on her and stops studying the band and it kinda sucks. I think every Jinjer fan knows how great Tatiana is and appreciates people acknowledging that but we also know just how skilled Roman, Eugene and Vlad are and I appreciate when people see that and let people who may be new to Jinjer know that it's not just Tati that's amazing it's the entire band. Subbed.

[@saltydroog854]

Their process is cool. The band composes and records the tracks, and then hands it off to her. She digests it, and writes lyrics...The first time the band hears it is when she is recording vocal tracks.

[@timprice5747]

The video for this song is worth watching. Retrospection live from this same concert is awesome, and the official video for it is as well.

[@gabrielasegovia7266]

Yay! Jinjer reaction! Jinjer - Judgement (& Punishment) | Live in Melbourne 2020 should be the next one!

[@DaveSteele07]

My God!! She is incredible in this Video!!

[@Patryn71]

Earliest I've ever been! Jinjer is always a great reaction. She's so good at what she does, and the rest of the band is just as good.

[@Marco-nu6dg]

This is for me the best song of their last album. Other great songs are Ape, Sit Stay Roll Over and Captain Clock live at Resurrection Fest 2018. I saw them live once and they are great.

[@bhg70]

I fell in love with Jinjer after your reaction for "Pisces," and went and bought their King of Everything album. Tatiana's growls are the best I've ever heard and are now the gold standard by which I judge all other growls. Brutal, intelligible, and rhythmic. Just phenomenal.

[@ChaseCarneson]

This makes me very happy. She's amazing so I can't blame you.

[@jayhegener3028]

I hated growls before I heard Tatiana. I can tolerate them from other singers now but yeah, she's the gold standard for me too.

[@NativeNewMexican]

@@jayhegener3028 same here

[@Sithspit_Rogue]

Adding a "ditto" here, and you hit on two of the reasons...: Brutal, and INTELLIGIBLE. Her vocals are much more easily understood while growling than anyone else I can think of off of the top of my head.

[@Paulfighteronline]

@@jayhegener3028 this!!!!

[@bepkororoti8019]

When I saw them last year they had a full backing track, second guitar, keys and voice overdubs. Sounds great and I'm in awe how they handle the timing, very jealous :-)

[@hiawatha.g]

The Kiev concert is astounding, everything from that is top notch. In my opinion, the secret to what you call their "brightness" and "springiness" is jazz training.

[@AndreCarneiro666]

My favorite Tati's outfit! So dark! So beautiful!

[@GridDownSurvival]

A reactor that really understands the art of music.. spot on my man!!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you my friend

[@sm3dc]

Before the coronavirus they were touring all the time, you can actually hear her voice is tired here, and even so, she delivers brutality. I've seen them live only once, I was going to see them a second time but my city got quarantined and I lost the chance to see them again, all I have left are my tickets and my wish to see them live again. Also, check out Jinjer - Pit of Consciousness!

[@Slavdya]

Chase Carneson and JINJER? Лайк не глядя :)

[@rijlqanturis625]

Jinjer is another big one that I got introduced to through YT reactions alongside Nightwish and Epica. Kinda surprised you haven't done Epica yet, I consider them in the Symphonic "powerhouse" trio with Nightwish and Within Temptation. If you do decide to do some Epica, I recommend "Consign to Oblivion - Live at Zenith".

[@Immortall1408]

Such recommendations get quickly buried between all Nightwish comments. :-D I would probably swap Delain for WT as of 2020

[@ChrisPage68]

@@Immortall1408 So would I. Sharon is great, but she ain't Charlotte. 😋

[@dropthehammer1360]

Epica is another amazing band!

[@wagsbass]

Jinger is super talented.They definitely use an octaver/ sample to double the vocals on melodic parts. A giveaway is Tatiana always fiddles with her IEMs just before those double vocal parts probably to ensure that she is in the correct octave above/below the sample

[@patfix]

I love these Kiev videos, amazing production and the band sounds amazing. Need more of this concert.

[@theopinson3851]

Yay! This is one of my favorite live clips of them because it’s high quality but obviously not touched up. Really showcases how good they are live.

[@dallasclark5533]

Saw them last October, they are absolutely phenomenal live. They're a very tight band.

[@metallikat05]

The outro to this song is just one of my favorite grooves ever.

[@cooltechnician]

Well excellent analysis Chase.. I was actually in that gig,, best experience of my Life. Please do a double feature next,, the analysis of Pit of Consciousness the official video, which is awesome and then the live video from this gig in Kiev. All that performance is a masterpiece. You are one of the best music reactors here on YT because of your knowledge and the way you explain what the bands and vocalists do.

[@RalphCahill]

She does use background harmonizing tracks. It could be a harmonizing effect to but since they play with a click track it is very likely just a prerecorded backing vocal. Some songs actually have a prerecorded second guitar part as well because a lot of their early (2015 and earlier) songs were written for 2 guitars so if they play any of them they kind of need the other guitar part in there.

[@granthoule7418]

Love your reactions just the way they are Chase!! Your Jinjer and Nightwish man all great. Loved the interview with Brittany Slayes and eagerly anticipate next one that you dropped today is coming soon 💯💥🤘👍

Jinjer - Retrospection is one of my favorites and would be cool to hear your thoughts on.

[@RockDocNeal]

Hi Chase, I'm not sure if you'll get this comment because you posted this video a couple years ago, but I wanted to let you know that I've watched some of your other Jinjer reaction videos and you always have an intelligent, comprehensive analysis of the songs and great delivery which makes them very watchable and enjoyable. I discovered Jinjer near the end of last year (2021) and even though I was previously not into metal with scream/growl harsh vocals, I became obsessed with them due to their excellent songwriting and musicianship and the incredible vocals of Tatiana, with her ability to transition instantly and seamlessly from her beautiful clean singing voice, with great tone, phrasing and control, into some of the best scream/growl harsh vocals I've heard, female or male. Their cred with me was also boosted by their great stage presence (mostly Tatiana's kick-a$$ performances) and because they are genuinely nice people (plus, it helps that Tatiana is super hot IMO). I've got a ticket to see them live next month at the House of Blues in Boston and I'm psyched! I also recently purchased one of their "We Want Our Home Back" t-shirts and a couple stickers, so I guess I'm a real fan now! 😁

[@ChaseCarneson]

This makes me really really happy. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Appreciate the support and actually going to be doing another reaction to them soon...hopefully. Hope you have a lovely day 🙏

[@RockDocNeal]

@@ChaseCarneson Thanks for responding, Chase. If you do another Jinjer video, I'll try to post my review after I see them live next month. Have a great day!

Chase great point on Tati’a stage presence. I live the work if all the members of the band. But when I saw them live Tati just drew my attention. No fake bs or interactions that were forced. Here presence alone was just immense.

For crowd interaction and just selling it to the audience.. the waken 2019 germany festival.. the viral video for perennial.. the song they preformed just before that was pisces.. more melodic.. more raw.. more emotional.. and Tatiana takes us to school on stage presence.. napalm records dropped the offical vid 2 days ago

[@arc6017]

Another great reaction! Always a joy and entertaining to hear your analysis on this great band. Great performance by the guys, absolutely love Eugene´s work on the bass on this one. For another live one I suggest "Pit Of Consciouness" in this same venue. But two of my favorites from the last album really are "Judgement & Punishement" official, an epic mash-up of genres that will make you smile and "Retrospection" and amazing deep meaning song with a very distinctive Eastern European feel to it and a very good official video. Try them and keep up the great vids. As I said, always a joy. Peace.

[@LunarisArts]

That inteo gave me some odd Dir en Grey vibes. I was kind of expecting hearing Kyo coming in with his nazal singing voice that turns into a banshee scream.... might happen. I'm only 5 min into the vid.

[@MrHws5mp]

Nice one Chase - good, insightful reaction as ever. It's an over-used term these days, but Tati is an 'artist' in the true sense of the word: she's trying to create something new and interesting with every song, and she'll do, or _not_ do, whatever's neccessary to get the right result, rather than pandering to expectations or worrying about having a consistent image. She's also an artist in the literal sense in that she paints and draws too.
