Fishmans - 98.12.28 (Otokotachi no Wakare) (DISC 1) REACTION/REVIEW

[@kaysienothin]

This performance was called A mans farewell as it was a send off to the drummer who was leaving the band, but tragically it was also the final performance with the frontman Shinji Sato who passed away not long after. So this album is an incredibly poignant piece of art in the sense that they truly gave it their all despite not even knowing the full gravity of the circumstances ahead of them. Its pretty sweet.

[@j-mersh6572]

Indeed, the final performance of a great band captured in full. It’s miraculous, really.

[@maxmiller1950]

I think it was actually th bassist who was leaving but I might’ve remembered it wrong

[@kaysienothin]

​@@maxmiller1950no i think you're right i got that wrong

[@ronylouis0]

im crying from laughter everytime you mention the saxophone lmao, that's an electric violin, but i totally understand how you could mix them up, a saxophone would sound really jarring on that album so the more i imagined it the more i laughed

[@kaysienothin]

The live version of long season deserves its own video, that thing is insane

[@turqdeth]

HE DID IT FUCK YEAH THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hi Turquoisedeath 👋

[@AdoraVivos]

The bass on this whole album is A KILLER! Ohhhh my godddddddd I just love how it brings these dub/reggae ideas into the overall dream pop vibe, and Shinji's vocals are downright angelic, adding a smooth, dreamy layer. Also imho the Japanese language sounds really aesthetically pleasing, but perhaps thats just mine anime induced brainrot lmfao. This live concert is a testament to Fishmans incredible growth as a band. From their roots as a pop reggae/dub/ska-ish band to embracing more of dream pop and neopsychedelic influences, their evolution is truly amazing! Like one of the best band developments out there lol. I also love how different these songs are from their studio versions. Going chronologically through their discography, discovering 98.12.28 feels sooo good! Like rediscovering all their songs in a whole new light.

swans - soundtracks for the blind, 2 hour banger

[@maxwagner6342]

I feel like soundtracks shouldn’t be the first swans album he should listen to, maybe great annihilator or to be kind

[@prod_brn]

@@maxwagner6342true, but I’m just thirsting for a soundtracks for the blind reaction on youtube

[@maxwagner6342]

@@prod_brn soundtracks is my favorite so I get it, I just think it hits a bit harder with atleast SOME knowledge of swans before hand

[@prod_brn]

@@maxwagner6342​​⁠yeah to be kind and great annihilator are bangers, or he could even react to the beggar since he’s doing more recent albums too

[@jaaqob2]

Congrats on 2k!!!!! Well deserved bro. Another banger album on the channel as well, let's go! Also Swans - "To Be Kind" in the future pleaseee!!!

[@DougDoan]

Second! It's my favorite swans album

[@Justin-pd8io]

We’re so winning

[@Lmao-mt5jq]

That reaction to what was that was so relatable I went walking around for hours listening to that song in the middle of winter in the middle of nowhere in Norway. I felt like I was floating on a cloud

[@ahmedsinkeat9941]

long season is probably the best song i have ever heard

[@fishman1301]

Holy shit 2k went by fast! I recommend this album a while ago, I'm glad you're listening to it now, its probably the most important piece of music in my life. Congratulations, and keep going!!

Album rec. Parannoul - to see the next part of the dream, sheogaze, existential, korean, the instrumentals, lyrics I love everything about this album

[@jakobo2088]

Smags evolution to best reactor didn’t take long. #1🔜

[@thomasispissed2686]

Another incredible album would be Swans - The Seer

[@dancingheroes]

Nice you're reacting to this album! Just a note, in the first track it's a violin that enters, not a saxophone, the girl that plays it also plays accordeon and keys! Although I guess you find out eventually seeing that you reviewed the video for Long Season hehe

[@leviidk1218]

you should do to be kind by swans i think youd love it!!!

[@Tylerlyndon]

Seconded

[@fo_f0bian]

I fucking love this live version of Nantettano. Thanks for react to my fav album!

[@TheHWR]

Incredible album, can’t wait for the second half. You should also listen to Uchu Nippon Setagaya at some point, it’s my favorite of their studio albums.

[@jakey2955]
