FIRST TIME REACTION - I Let It In And It Took Everything by Loathe

[@barchel]

So I was a bit anxious when in front of the camera again after a while so yes I got my left and rights wrong a few times lol. But if you have any suggestions for the next poll on what I listen to next I'll add two from suggestions and 2 from my listen list!

[@py16667]

Underneath by Code Orange, one of most complex & sonically unique modern metal albums imo

[@sprout12730]

Not a metal band, but you should check out Radiohead if you haven't! :) Also, it's good to see you back

[@nikhildubey6012]

Heyy Amelia, thank you for recording this!!❤️ Before diving into this, I wanna add another suggestion: POLAR SIMILAR by Norma Jean. I am positive you will love that album. Have an amazing weekend 💓

[@barchel]

​@@sprout12730I am a huge Radiohead fan lol and mhmm they are amazing

[@fiend265x]

i would recommend to check their(loathe) previous album called the cold sun, it's very atmospheric conceptual album and a bit heavier, but yet not that "monumental" as iliiaite

[@JoHarm96]

This album is a 10/10 for me. The more you listen, the better it gets. You start to really pick out all the background happenings and just get lost in the music. One of my favorite all-time albums.

[@AaronandJo]

This is probably the best video I've seen on this album. It's nice to hear a musicians take on this album using music vocabulary. It's my favorite album of all time and it's refreshing seeing someone not just say "oh yea that was good" and then just move on. I like how you focus on the sonics first then pull up lyrics after. The way Loathe plays with rhythm is masterful and makes the replayability extremely high. Subscribed!

[@barchel]

Thank you so much! That's incredibly nice of you and I am glad you enjoyed!

[@BlackMES]

A Sad Cartoon, is the most beautiful song I have EVER heard. BEAUTIFUL. So fucking amazing.. I love Loathe so much.

[@d3lta_949]

Theres actually two singers in this band! Kadeem does the more aggresive distorted voices while Erik, their guitarist, does the cleaner vocals!

[@barchel]

Oh That's Cool!

[@cgm-hk1et]

both of them sing and scream

[@AveragePizzaEnjoyer5]

@@cgm-hk1etthat’s the crazy part, because they both sound so similar.

[@sasaki9825]

There’s actually 3 and used to be 4, but one of the previous members left. Feisal their bass player yells here and there.

[@NotKuda]

after listening to this album i say "what would you do if you werent afraid" too many times a day

[@evanmiller8213]

I’ve been listening to this album for a few years now and it has aged so well. There’s a song for every occasion on here

[@barchel]

indeed

[@mikey13086]

Your insight gave me a new way to appreciate an album I already loved in other ways. thanks for taking the time!

[@barchel]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@ares8393]

Loathe literally have a Blessed trilogy of 3 fucking peace of art of Album « The Cold Sun » « I let it in and took everything » and « The Thing They Believe » holy, i love them so much

[@benjohnson4925]

This album was perspective-shifting for me, just a beautiful culmination of genres and sounds that I never thought would be combined. Shifted me from a more causal metalcore/prog metal listener to a lover of the genre. Seriously great stuff, in my top 5 albums ever.

[@barchel]

Perfectly put!

[@bruno-jp7lo]

fun thing about this album is that on the entirety of the album, the guitars and the bass are tuned on the same octave. lovely album, one of my few 10/10s

[@barchel]

Oh awesome! I knew they used baritone guitars but damn

[@bananton7932]

I reaaaallyy love that you actually react to the music and put words on your thoughts. Most channels seem to scared to speak. If i wanted to hear a non-interrupted version of the album, I would probably just have gone to Spotify. Keep up the good reactions! :)

[@barchel]

Wow thank you so much! That is the philosophy I put into the reactions, I explain my thoughts and interpretations otherwise it's just listening to it rather than reacting.

[@Joesorr324]

The higher screams and clean vocals are Eric the guitarist, while the more growling low vocals are kadeem the lead singer.

[@jctheii]

Kadeem and Erik both do high screams and cleans

[@thievingx]

You got great insight! One of my fav albums, on a loathe kick right now because I’m seeing them in May!

[@barchel]

Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy the show!!

[@stephenthomson6230]

I really enjoyed your reaction to this complex, beautiful, and sometimes brutal piece of music I've heard in a long time. Your enthusiasm and thoughtful interpretation was a very enjoyable way to revisit this project!! Much thanks for putting it out 🙏 Cheers

[@lucindapretorius9624]

Awesome reaction! Love the commentary etc. This is definitely one of my favourite albums of all time. And I love your music by the way😁

[@barchel]

Thanks so much! Glad you also liked my music too :)

[@trinny995]

I loved this video sm and how much you also loved my fav song from the album (a sad cartoon.) Also omg ur so cool btw!!

[@barchel]

Thanks so much that means a lot!!! glad you enjoyed the video and yeah a sad cartoon is incredible.

[@chrisppraefecti373]

You've gotta react to Thornhill's albums The Dark Pool (more prog metalcore) or Heroine (more shoegaze) if you dig this. Both are exceptional.

[@barchel]

Thanks For The recommendations!

[@bodakboatman]

i concur, thornhill the dark pool would be a really good reaction if you got a good taste from I Let It In

[@alexkenley1]

concur

[@day-us7mz]

goated asf album

[@barchel]

Indeed!

[@jctheii]

Favorite album of all time personally and have watched/listened to this video about 5 times now. Greatly appreciate every thing you’ve pointed out, your input throughout is really awesome from your knowledge of what goes into making such music and your immense vocabulary to express your points very clearly. Thank you for this🖤 Hope to see some Sleep Token on here soon but heads up they sometimes do fade outs (for what seems like no reason sometimes) but they are my favorite band regardless 😂 Also thank you for the Deftones reactions, all 3 of these bands are my all time favorites and somehow all have similarities of uniqueness if that make sense. Their creativity runs deep

[@barchel]

Wow thanks for such amazing feedback glad to know you enjoy my videos. I have been enjoying this musical exploration I do!

[@jctheii]

@@barchel Of course! Thanks for the awesome content! I’d love to see you react to Sleep Token’s 2017 EP called ‘TWO’. Has 3 songs on it that i’m very intrigued to see your opinion and breakdown on. Definitely seeing you love it🙏🏽 BUT i know you have tons to get to already lol, if it’s available, would love to send a donation! With ya for this music journey🔥

[@rock3668]

Oh wait this is the album that I requested! Thank you for listening to it. One of my favourite metal albums ❤️❤️

[@tooffverygood]

cool, i have watched a few react videos to this album and your intuition gave this album a fresh and clear perspective into their style and deftones comparison... thanks

[@barchel]

Thank you so much! That means alot I'm glad you liked it :)

[@Hxqven]

Great video, this album is truly amazing! 🙏🙏

[@barchel]

@@Hxqven Thank yoy so much!!

[@LanceHyena]

Love seeing others review and appreciate this amazing album. Loved your review and takes on it, and i do agree when others say 'its gets better with more listens" because I was not too crazy aside from "Is It Really You" and 'Two Way Mirror" but over listening to it over a year I've come to appreciate all the songs, minus "Screaming" which I just can't seem to like for some reason.

[@jayshattered1215]

wasnt expecting the quadeca reference in 451 days but i love that album nice to see it going around

[@minecraftsteve2504]

Seeing you do this reaction to this Loathe album, i would love to see your opinion and reaction to Heavener by Invent, Animate. To me and many others, its an experience that melds melody, ambience, and anxious vocals to make a an album that, "expresses your own heaven" as the lead singer has put it. Loved this! Your input is nice. Love the glasses too!

[@barchel]

Wow you sold that album well (I am a sucker for a concept album)! Also, Thanks :)

[@minecraftsteve2504]

@@barchel i felt the need to come back and preface, Heavener the Album, as, following the release of the album, Invent, Animate released a single called Heavener (which is beautiful in and of its own right, and more like a culmination of the album in one song) So feel free to check out both! Both are amazing!

[@sskkssa]

love the analysis!

[@barchel]

Thankyou!

[@saucyykev]

Great vid

[@ryanlust1350]

A sad cartoon is a masterpiece❤

[@barchel]

Agreed!

[@Hexagram96]

Material muy interesante, me suscribo. Amo esta banda, gracias por tu reacción.

[@losingapathy]

in your free time you should absolutely check out a single loathe dropped about a year back called dimorphous display, in my opinion it's their most beautiful and raw song. the basslines, melody choices, dissonance, and synths are out of this world. when i first heard it i wasn't a fan and thought it was overwhelming to listen to, but the more i listened, the more and more i fell in love with the song also their guitarist erik co-produced this album with george lever (producer for sleep token, monuments, holding absence), and erik is an actual musical freak. he can shred guitar, bass, drums, and can also produce, mix, and write extremely detailed and gorgeous songs. hes just not human tbh

[@barchel]

Wow with that description I have to check it out! Maybe I'll make a short otherwise I'll listen in my own time.

[@houdinied6094]

This seems like a common experience with that song because I thought the exact same thing, its not my favorite song by them but it definitely grew on me, makes me really excited to hear the rest of the album whenever it drops.

[@kila]

you review music in a vehement way and i think thats pretty cool :3

[@ErinXIV]

"gored, not like the vegetable" i'm dead hahahah

[@sketchywestytv]

Great reactions, just great song after great song. I recommend checking out their previous album The Cold Sun too.

[@exviellist]

Is it really you sleep token cover is good, recommend you check that one too❤

[@rook69420]

I would love for you to react to The Dark Pool by Thornhill

[@minecraftsteve2504]

Amazing album. Would certainly love to see this as well

[@lethalfumes]

Please react to the Dark Pool album by Thornhill (or their latest one, Heroine)

[@kevinmyles6369]

Cool reaction video. Are you classically trained and were you also trained in recording studio college? Remarkable you're very technical and picking things up instantly 👍🏻👍🏻

[@barchel]

Thanks so much! I am only a little classically trained I did like 5 years of piano and trombone and 1 year vocal lessons, but after that I self taught guitar and bass. I used alot of online resources for my mixing and recording knowledge, huge recommendation to the yt channel Dan Worrall. I am enrolled for a composition and music technology undergraduate degree this year. Hope that answers your questions. :) Most of the things I pick up are because I am an active songwriter, musician, producer and audio engineer.

[@kevinmyles6369]

@@barchel brilliant. That's cool really. You're very insightful.. I've been playing guitar in bands for almost 30 years, ditto recording experience with dozen bands too. That Loathe album my fave one of 2020 when it came out! It's so friggin good eh.. they're bringing the long awaited follow up out this year! Don't miss it 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
