[@DrewFortune97]

500 likes & I’ll check out ‘Stillworld’ before Heavener drops March 17th 😮‍💨🧡

[@afellowmetalhead9453]

stillworld is goated

[@loganhunter5734]

Everything they’ve ever put out is incredible, gotta check out Stillworld

[@Tomatokillz]

Cmonn guys upvote this video already, he's gonna love stillworld

[@davidm5415]

stillworld will always be their best and most masterful album.

[@aleksitakalo1523]

'Luna' is their most popular song and its lyrics are written by Trey Celaya, their drummer (now in Fit for a king too). His brother committed suicide and the last lines "Despite what i've said, i'm not bitter / Only regretful of the time we didnt spend / the laughs we didn't share / the brother you could have been" is sang by Trey! That makes the last part even more emotional

[@Austinwevo]

To add to this, Trey is still in Invent Animate by the way. He’s even in the most recent music video.

[@aleksitakalo1523]

@@Austinwevo yeah luckily he's still a songwriter and in the band! Would love to see him tour with them again at some point, even though Brodie taylor Smith is tight af!

[@PierceAkers]

@@aleksitakalo1523 yep! in the post they made, he’s still apart of the band in every aspect but jus doesn’t tour with them!

[@aleksitakalo1523]

@@PierceAkers ayo you're the guy covering invent's songs hour after the release!!! Your project Fracture is on my playlist btw, really impressive instrumental stuff for what i have listened ;)

[@drewwalters7392]

Trey also writes a lot of the guitar parts as well. Very talented.

[@rain_kd_kd1]

Ben English is one of my favourite vocalists. His lyrics are top notch and he has so much emotion and power behind his vocals!

[@kingsnail2455]

What I would give to have ben back in a band. Those lyrics hold a special place in my heart.

[@teleblisters]

@@kingsnail2455 seems like he's cooking up something this year, which also happens to be Everchanger's 10th anniversary!

[@XfreshcakesX]

Keaton Goldwire is why their guitars have remained consistent throughout, he’s been there since the beginning and has only gotten better

[@aleksitakalo1523]

My favorite guitarist along with Jesse Cash! Keykey is so unique with his writing

[@NicBrandon]

@@aleksitakalo1523Fr the best two in the genre

[@drpelipper]

Thank you for sharing this. It makes me so happy seeing someone appreciate how great their old stuff is.

[@aleksitakalo1523]

Naturehold features Jesse Cash ;) you did recognize his voice

[@slyholio]

Their secret is Trey their drummer. Super talented dude who writes a lot of their guitar riffs as well.

[@DiscogDiscourse]

This is an all time classic. Invent Animate been killing it for a while

[@alexthomas3298]

Luna is so emotional I can’t even explain it bro

[@RADIALPUDDLE]

Super excited for stillworld!

[@connorferris9481]

Courier is a GOATED song, probably my favourite by them 🤘🏻 keep on delving into all this great music Drew, great work 👌

[@BMXkidzevan1]

This band of this era was so so underrated

[@terrificindianAsmr]

this album is one of my favorites. nice video drew

[@Vixfor_]

I've been waiting for this, finally! Can't wait for your reaction on Novelists - Souvenirs :)

[@FountainCitySoundscape]

Whoever told you this album wasn’t as good is crazy this is the gold standard for the genre. One of the best albums in history period.

[@jesseroberts5728]

This will always be my favorite album from them, it just incites such a full feeling of emotions that I can easily drift through the album start to finish and come out either invigorated or just at peace. Absolute master class for their first album. They will always be one of my top favorite bands. Glad they never gave up.

[@midnighthymn]

Can’t wait for Stillworld!!

[@Justin-nq6kf]

This album is legendary and timeless

[@atomictoaster8013]

Yeah this album fucks. Still my favourite invent record by far (not counting the EP). Listened to this pretty much daily back in school - still bang it out every now and then. Native Intellect is the hardest song in the universe

[@cookieeaturface]

Ok, that patreon plug transition made me chuckle.

[@cookieeaturface]

(Also, shout out Courier. Still my favorite IA track. Insane riffage.)

[@DrewFortune97]

😂😂

[@Anton_Glz]

Yessirrrr! 👏 I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I do still to this day. I related Ben English’s lyrics back then and now it’s just a fond memory I have because this album as well as Stillworld’s got me through some stuff back then. Instrumentally speaking, these two albums have aged like fine wine in my opinion and I hope you get to react to Stillworld soon. Trey Celaya (drummer, but also tour drummer for Fit For A King nowadays as mentioned before in the comments) also writes guitar parts for IA, so he’s also a huge part of IA’s sound.

[@Birdseed99]

I love everything Invent Animate has done especially the later works but this album stays so dominant for me. I dont know if i can pick favorites but Native Intellect and Moon Phase really connected with me alot then and still.

[@veil2612]

my 2 favorites as well

[@mylife1221]

every time i hear anything from singularity by northlane, i always get confused because these two albums sound SO SIMILAR in terms of production

[@denyspetrov580]

I believe, roots in the sound and vocals of early IA, besides Erra, also from the first Northlane album - Discoveries. Highly recommend.

[@empiyrr2133]

Everchanger is such a great album it has such a great ambiance and Ben’s vocals hit hard and like was mentioned it’s still a familiar sound to newer fans who have only listened only to their newer stuff and the album mix still stands up today

[@nschmidt87]

Rational Gaze was my favorite part of this video. Quickly followed by Invent Animate's bangers.

[@JakeStuder]

Haven't said this yet, but: Quality content, humor, and editing my guy. That beginning was an intro of superb fashion.

[@CullyColantino]

Drew. I just realized you haven’t reacted to any Crystal Lake. And that literally blows my mind. If you like CURRENTS. You’ll LOVE Crystal Lake. Check out Apollo.

[@fhunter2158]

This album man🥵

[@Aurora_17]

Moon Phase just hits.. different

[@ThaBeatConductor]

Hey, I know this is gonna be a random comment, but I'm watching your Lorna Shore Sun//Eater reaction and you were curious why people like music with tons of staccato notes and blast beats. I can't answer for everyone but for me personally, my ears and mind get bored of regular drum beats and rhythms very quickly, especially when at lower tempos. I also enjoy a giant wall of sound and harsh vocals and high tempos. That doesn't really leave much room for other types of drum beats. I think the main appeal is the combination of power, speed, groove, and complexity. There are usually multiple melodic and rhythmic elements happening at once. There also has to be beauty among the brutality, madness, and chaos for me. That's why I'm not personally down with bands like Infant Annihilator. I like it when songs have so much happening so quickly that it takes many many listens to fully get it all in. Another thing to consider is that some instruments take on different roles sometimes in extreme metal. For instance the drums often times don't carry an actual beat, they just accent main beats made by the vocals and guitar while holding a drone(blast beating). I find that harsh vocals often share a bigger burden on carrying the rhythm section than would be found in any other genre that doesn't use blast beats. TL;DR It's fast enough to keep my brain happy.

[@PierceAkers]

stellar video man. this album is so fantastic. btw, there were two guitarists in this band when this album was made (keaton goldwire being the one who stayed!) love the content man 💚💎

[@JoHarm96]

IA doesn’t have a bad album

[@Austinwevo]

That was Jessie!

[@DrewFortune97]

Did you watch the next few seconds? I figured out in the video man!😂

[@Austinwevo]

@@DrewFortune97 I had to pause a few seconds after for a while 😂

[@jackevansevo]

One of my fav albums, I listen to the instrumental version of this a tonne

[@dusk3e_]

today is 10 years of evanchanger!!!!

[@erik.kangas]

my favorite album of all time.

[@digitxlgrxve]

I crowd surfed during the ending of Luna and it was an ethereal experience.

[@jackobrien5417]

Such a good album😊

[@danieljeffrey9530]

That feel when you hear a guitar lick so good you just grab your guitar and hold it tenderly. 😂

[@cozahekz1]

"Malevolence - Malicious Intent" has to be next.

[@afellowmetalhead9453]

finalllyyyyyy

[@freedomcall76]

The pat on the back for figuring out Moon Phase was well deserved

[@DrewFortune97]

😂😂❤️

[@Bendalf]

You should check out the latest album from The Dali Thundering Concept. (Progressive Metalcore / Deathcore). They just released a insane music video for the whole album. That'd be great reaction content

[@rhoades23]

That is Jesse on Naturehold singing.

[@postrockforthemind128]

Hey Drew, When are we gonna watch your reaction to Psychonaut's album 'Unfold The God Man' ? Think Slice The Cake but more psychedelic.

[@ERNVK]

Keaton Goldwire is a fucking genius!

[@mattwant]

These guys crashed the night at my house after their show in London Ontario and played some VR while Ben was their vocalist, so I have a soft spot for their older stuff but they can't make a bad song to me.

[@nafiz5609]

LUNA is top 5 invent easily

[@2xRainb0w]

Trey and Keaton write most of the material, Caleb the bassist also writes now I believe

[@RubberToez]

One of the goated albums. Why you uploading highlights instead of full reactions? Does it have to do with copywrite problems?

[@blanketofbeans]

they will never top.

[@venividivici4607]

Keaton has always been their lead guitarist. Logan was only rhythm.

[@JayseenX]

Half-life is my favorite song it's weird that not much is shown in this video considering it's the only guitar solo featured in this album.

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Whoever said the production on this album isnt good shouldnt ever listen to music again lol
