Yo thanks so much for checking this out! :D SICKKK

[@progperljungman8218]

Thank You for making it. Totally awesome! 😍

[@StoneAndMortar]

Absolutely stunning track! I can’t wait to see what you guys have coming next!

[@stormblessed9546]

You guys are great, keep it up!

[@johnwoodberry3707]

Hope you get to tour and come to the UK, will be there for sure!

[@aviationsband]

@@johnwoodberry3707 Man someday...

[@JamesKnoerl]

Thanks for checking it out! :D Appreciate the support! :D

[@CO6883-o3c]

At the moment, this song is somewhere in my top 5 all time. It's the freaking universe transcribed into music. Glad you enjoyed! 🤘

[@johnmurray5241]

I've been waiting for this. Legit checked your page everyday.

[@CriticalReactions]

Glad I could finally deliver. Hope you still find a reason to check back to the page though 😅

[@johnmurray5241]

@@CriticalReactions Don't worry about that! I've been following for years. 😉 Keep it up!

[@samsavage712]

"Well, spoke too soon." 😂 I was laughing when you said how uplifting the breakdown was cuz I knew you didn't see that coming lol

[@thescottallen]

Same, lmao. He said that and I immediately was like “about that...”

[@crowing3886]

Definitely my top wanted reaction from you easy. This song is huge.

[@makennarichard8979]

Never clicked on a reaction so fast!

[@Brandon-do3yj]

So glad this masterpiece got on the channel!

[@CassetteMelody]

Absolutely love this song. I also picked up on the Mike Lessard style vocals (LCTR and The Contortionist)

[@gregstacy4498]

Every week I check to see if anyone else has reacted to this. It never gets old to see

[@progperljungman8218]

Thanks a lot Kevin!😍

[@johnwoodberry3707]

Oh boy Bryan, I requested this one too. Seen many reactions to this but yours is by far the most complete and eye opening thank you. The Orchestral request would be amazing too, I have a love for Orchestral music, and enjoy it more each time

[@CharlesEMurphy]

This is such a fantastic song!

[@leemetronicle]

These dudes are next level. Who knows what they’re gonna do next, but it will almost definitely create a black hole

[@nintendonarutofan]

I'm glad you didn't cut it off early before that last part. I looooove that quiet part at the end. It feels like watching a concert end.

[@Pierorocks]

Funny you brought up LCtR because that same part reminded me of some of the stuff from the Contortionists Language album which features the same vocalist! I feel like that section of the song would have fit perfectly in a contortionist song if they replaced the grand piano with synthesizer!

[@ProgPro96]

Wow... I remember listening to Aviations back when their first album came out around 2014(?) and not being particularly impressed with them. I thought too many new djent bands were popping up that pretty much sounded the same around that time so I never really went back to any of them. Hearing this, I like it a lot and I'm glad they're actually bringing something unique to the table. It feels like a mixture between TesseracT, Haken and Native Construct. I'll have to check out their latest album.

[@toniedvardsen8169]

Finally, hehe. Awesome reaction, as always. Totally agree with the amazing piano parts. My fave in this song :)

[@Araldian]

The way I see the rythmic djenty parts is that they're supposed to stress you out a little bit, to give the breakdowns and other melodic parts extra meaning/weight. Just like "you can't appreciate good without the bad" kinda vibe. That said I also enjoy djenty bits generally but I could also see them doing some of those bits in this song differently. Overall a super solid song though. Great review!

[@aviationsband]

nailed it

[@Punishment_for_Decadence]

2 years on, and I still never grow tired of reactions to this song. Absolute masterpiece

[@johanliljeblad1236]

Cool, but if not for those darker parts I probably wouldn’t check them out more. But as it were, that made it so much more engaging.

[@kylewadejohnson]

that stop with the paino is much longer in the regular song

[@paravarium]

Couldn't help but throw this on discord when it came out :P. It's a great listen.

[@CriticalReactions]

I certainly see why it was requested in such high volumes when it came out.

[@Panda_SMM]

hell yeah dude this band is the shit

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

"Taking off with this week's theme." I see what you did there. ;) Anyway, haven't heard these guys, but this was pretty great. Really cool mix of beautiful, atmospheric, ambient elements with prog metal. The prog metal elements were just OK, but the vocals, harmonies, strings, and keyboard really elevated the whole to the next level. Will definitely be checking these guys out.

[@CriticalReactions]

Actually had a few plain puns throughout. 😅

[@progperljungman8218]

Track just finished and I pressed pause. If you don't say "phenomenal" now I just don't know you at all Bryan... 😉

[@progperljungman8218]

I know my man 😁

[@STR82DVD]

Brilliant review. This band has redefined progressive rock and roll for me. I wasn't a subscriber before but I am now. Thanks lad.

[@milton1448]

IMO this song is lightening in a bottle

[@alltheserobotsshallfall]

omg people living in boxes - forever. :((

[@nintendonarutofan]

Hey sorry possibly dumb question, do Patreons get straight up requests? Or do requests go into a poll first and then everyone votes?

[@CriticalReactions]

So for the Mon-Fri content, that's all poll based. Two weeks prior is a poll to determine the theme and the week prior is a poll to determine which bands make it for the actual week of reactions. The Special Selection is completely separate from Patreon. It's a one time donation to pick a specific song. However, I had to close the submissions for this temporarily as I had over 100 request to get through. Submissions will open back up around May or June though and viewers will be able to tell me exactly what they want me to check out.

[@nintendonarutofan]

@@CriticalReactions oh that's so awesome! Haha yeah I can imagine having a queue of over 100 songs might be too much. Cool I'll check out the Patreon thanks for the details!

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

After discovering this I tried other songs by them they aren't even in a level close to this they're mediocre at best what I heard

[@aviationsband]

Mediocre is all we really want to be tbh

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

@@aviationsband first time the actual band reply to me

[@aviationsband]

@@yotambraunshtein9786 🤣 dude we're just floored you checked it out. Hope you'll stick around for the new record this year. It has some different stuff for us for sure and some flavors from this track.
