First Time Hearing: Beartooth - The Surface | Full Album Reaction

[@Rosedragun28]

As a Big Beartooth fan i guess i should give you some background of the band, caleb the vocalist is the one that plays every instrument in the albums and he produces also, the band is only for live shows, also in the band he was before Beartooth (Attack Attack) he started as the synth player and after two vocalists changes he took the place of them when he was 16 and he wasnt a trained vocalist when he started Beartooth he started vocal training! If you want something heavy you should listen to their first album thats the heaviest one they have i hope you liked them live! Another band you can react to is I prevail!

[@ashlenamusic]

I looooove I prevail! I haven’t heard all their music so I’ll definitely look into them. Thanks for the background on Caleb! I will be doing album reactions to their old stuff. My concert vlog goes up on Wednesday!

[@Lebowski77MLG]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on them live! Just saw them last night, for about the 10th time😂 enjoy the show!

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha I will definitely be doing a concert vlog! Can’t wait for the show!

[@Runeforged]

So this band and specifically this album is one of those that I liked more as I heard them more. At first my reaction was “They’re alright” and then at some point they just clicked for me. I think it’s the passion in the music and his voice. It’s not easy to hear legit emotion in a song yet you can hear it very clearly with Beartooth. Now I jam out hehehe

[@ashlenamusic]

Love that

[@TheMrCaden101]

Great reactions! Definitely recommend reacting to their first full album Disgusting. It has such a raw and heavy sound to it!

[@robbiehilker36]

They were much heavier back in the day. They have turned a bit main stream. Im a big fan, but miss the old stuff. They are great live. You will enjoy them. The lines and the inbetween are ones to check out. Also Caleb has been doing this for a long time, his voice is fine.

[@robbiehilker36]

Also will add that this album was all about self positivity, and i think thats why it was softer than there usual stuff.

[@robbiehilker36]

funny you mention ATTACK ATTACK, Caleb is a former band member

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha I know that’s why I went to listen to them

[@ashlenamusic]

I hope his voice is fine

[@oneysays]

love beartooth. they're riff masters that write great choruses and have tons of energy. definitely understand they're not for everybody. i think you hit the nail on the head when you they're probably better live.

[@ashlenamusic]

Here’s hoping!

[@Good20win11]

I believe Caleb has said that Beartooth was always going to be his outlet to express where he is in life. This why he writes nearly everything by himself. As other people have pointed out, the older albums were considerably darker and that goes hand in hand with his alcoholism and other issues he had from Attack Attack. So going through the albums in order really shows his journey. For this album he finally became sober, got in shape to the point he was proud to be shirtless on stage, and slew of other things. So whiles it’s great to know that’s where this comes from, I still can’t help but lean back to the previous albums such as Disgusting and Below.

[@ashlenamusic]

I definitely will check out the older albums

[@Melody-bourbonite4life]

the better me...is the best song

[@thecrue2008]

I would probably show up late just to see beartooth honestly. Haha!

[@ashlenamusic]

Nooooo the rest of the bands are awesome

[@thecrue2008]

@ashlenamusic there's a reason for their sound change I case no one has told you but he wanted the sound to be more positive and uplifting because he was tired of feeling and singing depressing songs in their past albums so if you get a chance check out the old stuff lyrically and sound wise and compare it..

[@ashlenamusic]

I definitely will give them another chance.

[@courtneysharp518]

Yeah, the singer has also had vocal training to protect his voice and vocal chords because of incorrectly screaming. Their okder music was heavier back in the day though so they do switch it up. This album was also the hapoier album because he dealt heavier and openly about mental health so this is a more personal, broghter side album in a way.

[@ashlenamusic]

Probably why I didn’t care for it lol

[@thecrue2008]

Your gonna be blown away by beartooth.. they rip it live.🤘🤘🤘

[@ashlenamusic]

I hope so!

[@ProducerJames91]

I like Beartooth's album Down Below....but you need to try another album, for a better introduction to the....like Down Below or Disgusting. Iwrestledabearonce led to beartooth and spiritbox....it's literally the same founders/members.....

[@ashlenamusic]

I agree!

[@danielkurtz3045]

A bit of a controversial album for them. Primarily due to the heavy pop and country influence. Their last album had elements of this sound also, but is much more punk/metal forward. You'd probably enjoy it. And Im pretty certain Caleb has trained vocally. I think he just developed a very raspy sound to his voice as a stylistic choice. 👍

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

Guess, did I like it? 😅

[@celinel9750]

I think you and I are pretty on the same level... realy like Ashlena, here for Aurora, Ren and some other, like the warning but all the ''harder'' tihing are not realy our cup of tea, but as we like the lady we support 😀

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

@celinel9750 yes... obviously Aurora is my favorite...

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha definitely not but I appreciate the support

[@ashlenamusic]

Celine! I appreciate you so much xx

[@vanisyn2495]

Caleb has worked with the most legendary vocal coach of all time and is not hurting his voice

[@ashlenamusic]

Good to know!

[@sonbellamy8438]

This is like the only vid iv seen of someone saying Calebs voice wasnt for them haha and thats fair enough

[@ashlenamusic]

🙈

[@sonbellamy8438]

[@glakson9772]

Invent animate will definitely steal the show.

[@ashlenamusic]

It was stolen! So good. Concert vlog coming soon

[@cassierb183]

I am by no means a diehard fan, but I love some of their older work and this album was a miss for me. I like a couple of the songs, but it sounded they they were experimenting too much and it just didn't work for me.

[@rylziee]

yo ash jvke dropped a new song make a reaction video about it 👀

[@ashlenamusic]

I will next week xx

[@That.local.dumbass007]

Can you watch gflip "waste of space" ft the LA Trans choir, please it's very important to a lot of people. Much love thanks

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

The first of your videos that I watch, and sorry, but you seem like a hypocrite and 'metal elitist' in this one. Your body sends pretty clear signals about how you liked the 'pop-y' chorus of Riptide at 10:30 yet you say you don't like how pop-rock-y they are? Come on. Admit that you like it. I enjoy the new Slaughter to Prevail as much as this, and that's okay, and it's okay for you as well. Metal is a big tent.

[@ashlenamusic]

I just don’t like it. I saw them live and still wasn’t into it. Simple as that.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Okay, tough metal chick who grooves and sings along to pop-y rock, you do you 🙂

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww you sound mad that I don’t like your favorite band. It’s not a big deal. Go listen to them and enjoy it while I go listen to something else ✌🏽

[@Spectreffex]

I'm here for the honesty! My throat hurts hearing his poor voice sometimes like it's scratchy and dry lol. Totally valid to say they're a bit too poppy, I hear that a lot and I agree. Their lyrics can be pretty corny too! This is actually a very specific style that my husband and his friends enjoy, of being something like pop-punk with metalcore breakdowns. Out of everyone at the show, they're not my top choice and shouldn't be the headliner. But I will say that there are tons of bands where I don't always love the albums but I enjoy the live shows.

[@ashlenamusic]

Yeah I’m sure they will be fun live but probably not something I’d listen to on my own time

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Like the heavy music and the clean vocals but that not together.

[@BBBachon]

the Diamonds are getting hungry, Ash! we need MORE Marina reactions 😩

[@ashlenamusic]

This week!
