getting mindblown by Silent Planet - Iridescent for 13 minutes and 8 seconds | Full Album Reaction

[@georgemosdale3455]

This album is so different from their priors. It’s such a good switch for their sound and the direction they’re going in. Vocally this album is an incredible step up. Musically, it hits ya right in the feels. An intricate, great work of art. Birdie Forever.

[@antoniogonzalez-ig6bq]

In general music in 2021 its just insanely good at this point, all our artists just push themselves beyond their limits, thank you so much quarantine

[@RetriMusic]

everything thats coming out is so siiiick

[@regorf]

Architects came out with their album, I was like this is album of the year, then ERRA dropped, then Kostolom, then Lorna EP, then Wallflower, then Shaman, now this. And SION are dropping their album tomorrow too. This year has been amazing for metal. And many more are gearing up for next year already.

[@christianbrewerton710]

I’ve never been a Silent Planet fan. Just never connected with their music. This is different. This is incredible.

[@justinvarieur4411]

Same bro

[@christianhackl474]

Yo dude, samee! Sry I know I'm late to the party. But yes, This album changed my mind bout this band tho, fantastic album! I'm a fan now too

[@djake_marthall]

I honestly thought this was their most, for lack of better term, easy-to-swallow album. The previous three albums being concept albums (both respectively, and that tie together) always made me feel like they really need my undivided attention to appreciate the subtle intricacies and to follow the story being told (which I'm a sucker for). This one is a step away from that story and feels more personal and vulnerable, so to me, it needs to be listened to with less brain and more heart, if that makes sense. I can't remember who said it but one of the band members posted on IG that the previous albums were always telling someone else's stories, and now they want to tell their own story, and I feel like this album nails that. And as such, I feel like the less conceptual nature of this one makes it a bit more accessible to those who might've been scared off by the artsy side of TNGS/EWS/WTEB. Some might say that makes this album a little more "generic" but I would argue this is Silent Planet taking their sound and really honing in on it - the focus on composition is mindblowing to me, this album feels a lot shorter than what it is because of how well it flows. No one's going over the top or doing more than what a songs needs, despite the fact they're all playing and sound the best they have in their career. TLDR: It's just straight up good songwriting by great musicians who happen to be amazing dudes.

[@plutosrose5046]

Garrett on IG did make a post about the whole album. It delving into the aspect of "love and grief being the same thing on different ends of time"

[@KhaosKontroller]

Instantly in my top 10 of the year. That top 10 being: 1. Erra 2. Spiritbox 3. Trivium 4. Silent Planet 5. Born of Osiris 6. Interloper 7. Another Now 8. Every Time I Die 9. Ice Nine Kills 10. Mastodon

[@oyepvokadub6522]

Solid list fam

[@Pacoooooooo.]

As a fan of SP this is by far my favorite album from them! They sound HUGE in this, and I love the way they tried a lot of new things and honestly all worked really well. It’s refreshing hearing a new SP, I mean don’t get me wrong but as Bodgan already said all the past albums sound kinda “the same” in terms of sound. Guys this is progression, evolution don’t be afraid of changes, in this case this is a good change they didn’t got softer, and poppy it’s still Silent Planet with new musical elements. Im in love with this one!

[@alexwhittaker4842]

ohhhh my LORD Edit: okay i've listened to more of it and the heavy is fucking perfect but Garrett's scream-sing on some of those tracks is fucking beautiful and has so much emotion in it and i LOVE THIS BAND

AOTY by an absolute MILE... Nothing has even come close to touching SlantPlant's writing, lyrics, and musical technicality... my lord... This band finds ways to put out song after song of absolute masterpieces.

[@ohbxnny6299]

this album is making it really hard to pick an AOTY between this and Vildhjarta's album, didnt think anything would come close to that album then this came out

[@johnathanbaublitz5857]

Phinehas and SP grew together and BOTH put out AOTY contenders and it’s so sick to see. I legit have been listening to them each for 7 years because of my big brother and I’ve since become a huge fan of both, even meeting Garrett and Alex in 2015 on a side stage at a festival. Blows my mind how far they’ve come

You’ve gotta read the lyrics for iridescent while you listen to it, that shit it emotional as hell

Album of the year for me and that's a huge statement given some of the music that's come out this year

I saw the 0 in the top right corner expecting it to be some sort of headbang counter or track score out of 10, but only at the end of the video did I realize it's the reflection of your light lol

[@dreero_]

My AOTY is between this and Holding Absence and I truly don’t know if I can pick one over the other

[@stephaneangenault8062]

So after re listening to the album over and over, it is definitely one of the most important album to come out in the recent years for me ! When you talk about the Depths trilogy coming to an end, I feel like even tho, it's not called Depths IV, Iridescent (the song) as A LOT of similarities to Depths II and III in terms of writing and song structure (the clean intro, Garret having that "clean", speech voice tone is recognized for, the overture to the others instrumentation and the epicness in the verse and the HUGE breakdown at the end to close the song and the album !! I just can't see how it's not linked in some ways to Depths II and III while still being in that new sound that defines the album and makes it one of the best album closer of this year !!!

[@braydenpresley1437]

These boys have an absolute WELL of creativity and passion. They channel it into their music so well. Even better, each member from Garrett, to Alex, to Thomas, to Mitch, is a genuine and wonderful human being. Love SP forever. Be consumed.

[@adecakaship2486]

As a fan of prog and weird core music, to me, this doesn't sound odd at all. Maybe someone who prefers more generic and formulaic metalcore bands might have issues with this record, but other than that I don't see how a fan of the genre as a whole could be turned off by this album, it's so damn well written, and GOOODDDD. Simple as that.

[@forevermarked5826]

I can't believe its finally here. I waited so long. This band is in my top5 fav bands and oh boy did this album deliver! I absolutely love it. I feel so blessed and spoiled because Oct and Nov has releases of projects/albums from 3 out of 5 of my fav bands, Invent Animate, Silent Planet, and Imminence. So I'm in heaven with music! I do feel Imminence will for sure have AOTY, I'm expecting it and will still be blown away by it but this album from silent planet is incredible it's funny their last album was titles When the End Began because this album here has a apocalypse feeling/ end times feeling and this album should of been called that lol

[@Deady5225]

Oh man, all year we had stupid banger and it keep getting better and better 🔥 I wish i'll have the chance to hear some of these songs live, Panic room and trilogy blew me away when i've seen them If you want absolute chills and tearing up a lil bit : Memorist - Loss

Fantastic album. I was worried at first because i heard 4 singles and i knew there was a couple songs that were just ambience. They sure as hell delivered on the remaining tracks because they absolutely slapped.

[@stevenrogers7294]

My favorite album this year. Absolutely did not disappoint

[@RebeIMate]

This is one of my favorite albums of this year and I am also a new listener to this band. Haven't heard any of their previous material. This album feels a lot like Blood Youth's "Visions From Another Hell" which is also one of my favorite albums of the year. That album is amazing and unfortunately quite underrated. So I would highly recommend for you to check that one too, since you liked this album. It is also really personal, emotional and raw, but at the same time really catchy, heavy, effective, versatile and overall enjoyable album to listen to.

[@thiccymcdunk1745]

This is a very strong contender for album of the year. If it isn’t AOTY, then it’s at the very least in the top 5 for me. Absolutely incredible album and i’m so excited for the future of this band

[@MrTheBigNoze]

Not entirely sure how I feel about this album. I recognize it is a change in sound for them, a lot heavier with electronic elements, I also think this is the best Garrett has ever sounded. They need to be careful about overusing the clean vocalist. I'm having a little trouble understanding the meaning behind many of the songs, themes from their previous works are usually very clear but this album feels a lot more conceptual. Lyrics are still top-notch though. I think I will enjoy it more with more listens, but their older stuff still stands apart for me.

[@mpk6664]

I disagree. The clean vocals have always been something SP hasn't really explored/experimented with in the past. Now that Mitch and Garret have both refined their cleans they can be more than just what they were.
