Jinjer is definitely a modern band in their general sound, but what differentiates them the most for me is their dynamics, and with my completely biased opinion (being someone that chose the bass as their first instrument to play) is actually caring about what the bass brings to the band/song. Modern metal likes to think that bass playing doesn't matter, but every important memorable band over the decades has had every player being distinctive and being a significant part of that band's sound. And that's what Jinjer has.

Agreed, I'd go as far as to describe Eugene as a lead bass player, his playing is as heavily involved in the melody as it is the rhythm.

Yup, watching Eugene's bass playthrough vid for "Vortex" almost had me go spend money I didn't have on a 5-string - something I'd avoided for 20+ years of playing the bass! He's a great example of a both-hands-always-busy player who's musical enough to never have it sound "too much". So good. :)

Heaps of modern metal respects the bass, you just normally have to go to the more technical metal genres, but that’s pretty much the same in all music genres, e.g. pop or rock vs jazz or prog.

This song reminds me a LOT of Faith No More and older Coheed and Cambria musically and both of those bands had very prominent bass. Bill Gould, Trevor Dunn, Les Claypool and at the end of the decade, Ryan Martinie all begat quite a lot of really good bass players to come in the 2000's

@KeyOfGeebz I absolutely love the way you geek out over this band! It warms my heart. The way you pick up on all of their nuances and break down the technical mastery is such of a breath of fresh air in the land of reaction videos. I have binged all of your Jinjer reactions. I love your content. Thank you!

The gallop part is amazing. And I love how there’s story telling with the movement of the musical instruments in themselves. There’s a beginning, middle, and end.

I love this new song by Jinjer, always love Jinjer! I've done some amateur dabbling in music, but I love hearing musicians talk about Jinjer, they're just so good! I love the portrayals in this video of Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Marie Curie and (I think) Georgia O'Keeffe, although since we know Tatiana loves Frida Kahlo (as do I) because of that tattoo on her arm, I will always think of that character in this video as Georgia O'Keeffe on the outside and Frida Kahlo on the inside. Great reaction, Geebz! Thank you for bringing more of the fantastic music of Jinjer to more people! ❤️ 🖤 🤘

I heard Jinjer for the first time around 2017 and they were immediately one of my all-time favorite bands. To this day, Tatiana makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I know she wasn't the first woman to sing like that, but she took it to the moon. On top of that, the band is just as fantastic. Eugene & Vlad are insanely great and Roman has put his unique style in every song. I saw them on Macro tour in September 2019 and I had to wring out my clothes after the show. It was amazing and Tatiana's stage presence is incredible. She is the Queen and Jinjer are the best! They do it every single time. Always enjoy your perspective Geebz.

Jinjer is just on ANOTHER LEVEL of GREATNESS... And i have met them and their manager, and they are so cool and down to earth guys, but so hardworking and focused, like i have seen few in my life... They sure have struggled a lot to arrive to this time and place with this quality! I have a great respect for all of them... Hope this fucking wars around the world all end soon...

There’s one section where Eugene (bassist) is playing in the lower extremes of his range and Taniana is singing in the upper extremes of hers and it creates this hollowed out mid range effect in the tonal profile of the song that’s ultra…whatever the opposite of muddy is.

It's definitely impressive (tones are awesome), but, when it comes to songwriting, it's just a mess! They ran out of ideas for good songs. These songs sound like jamming! IMHO

I know within seconds if a song hits me, sorry this just doesn't do it. Seems forced, no natural flow and contrived. Just my opinion, but glad others like it.
