🇺🇦 JINJER - 'Vortex' | REACTION & REVIEW

[@a.ros12]

This sounds a lot like a classical composition performed by a super tight metal band to me. It's really beautiful and unique imo.

[@mool8151]

JINJER all time, all day, kick my ass and my soul

[@jazoon7249]

I still feel this is their best composed song to date. However, there is also Wallflower. Hard to choose. love the new album.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

It definitely feels the most "refined". But it's impossible to pick a favorite with Jinjer, as there are so many amazing songs, each for their own different reasons.

[@palladinodessa8988]

Mediator is next level too - the whole new album is crazy talent on display.

[@notimportant3686]

come on... teacher teacher?... homeback?... even back to astronomy or wisdom (if you get rid of the vocal track, just the riffs are insane)... this song has grown on me a lot, but best composed?.... actually fuck it... i don't want to have to choose and rank them

[@Dark__Thoughts]

@@notimportant3686 back to astronomy?

[@jazoon7249]

@@notimportant3686 I think maybe you confuse best composed with favorite or best song. My comments are based on how " I" feel like that song flows and how it connects from one section to the next. It builds slowly and thoughtfully, nothing feels jarring or forced or out of place. Tati's vocals are controlled and make perfect sense with the song structure and theme. In comparison take "Astronomy"; if you truly are honest about it this songs does not need harsh vocals. She could use cleans through the whole thing and not loose the meaning or intensity. But in the end it is my opinion and doesn't mean anything. You have yours and it means just as much. Thanks.

[@johnfish8208]

I recommend more Jinjer 😂👍👍 whatever you choose is fine by me

[@saltypepper6526]

That “swiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrllllllll” hints of something even deeper We haven’t quite heard the depth this gal can go to ✌️🎶

[@bigtimebobby6644]

I can't agree more, the talent of this band is far greater than any band I have heard in decades. For me they are like the Led Zeppelin of the 21st century. They should be selling out stadiums and flying in their own jet plane.

[@MarcinOfTheNuclearVillage]

Album 'Wallflowers' is a 100% masterpiece! Not a single note out of place, time or tune... seriously. I can't stop spinning this vinyl. Probably gonna need a fresh one soon. Have fun discovering new Jinjer man! \m/

[@joshmcclung4647]

Wallflower is the newest video and its very good of course😁😁😁

[@j.f.fisher5318]

The new album hit #5 worldwide on iTunes going up against pop albums. I love that the guitar riff changes constantly for the first half of the song. Tati has long had a love-hate relationship with her growls but since marrying the drummer of metalcore band Suicide Silence she seems to have really embraced that side of her technique, and I think she must have been singing to herself a lot during lockdown becauseher cleans are so good I'm starting to see some of her earlier singing as amateurish which is insane, frankly. If you haven't already binged their back catalog, you totally should unless you plan a bunch of Jinjer reactions in which case there are a few off Macro that are must-see (Home Back official, Judgements & Punishment one take, and Pit Of Consciousness live in Kiev). Otherwise enjoy their old stuff and move forward with the new stuff. The new album is 🔥FIRE🔥. Wallflower would be my suggestion for another new one. There are surely more releases coming and omg.

[@notimportant3686]

her earlier singing can DEFINITELY be grating, in fact, the best improvement she made is in her choices... there are some early tracks that i love that i simply can't listen to her... i've gone as far as to download these songs WITHOUT the vocals (such as roman's guitar play throughs) because her vocals actually cover up some incredible riffs... go listen to scissors or words of wisdom or captain clock without her vocals.... those songs are ABSOLUTELY STUPENDOUS from the guitar aspect

[@bbravo5531]

Mediator is every type of metal genre in one song and Wallflower is a very emotional song for Tatiana.

[@frankcastle7427]

i feel like i just watched my reaction to this song on my first view. deja vu. i love this band, love their videos and love watching people experience them.

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

The whole album "Wallflowers" is a constant rollercoaster where you never know where to get out in the end! I`ve listening to it for three weeks now and I can`t still recall the songs. Every time it is a bit like hearing it the first time. I´d recommend "Mediator" and "Wallflower" from the new album and then of course "I speak Astronomy", an older one from "King of Everything". 👍

[@palladinodessa8988]

Mediator Wallflower The other 2 off the new album. All 3 are just so different (from each other) but you know it's Jinjer at the same time - such insane talent!!! And yes, the album released last month about this time!!!

[@andrebrodbeck384]

This "monster" inside the Vortex always reminds me to beauty boys.

[@Acekhan201]

It's Jinjer: it's all good. 😎🤘

[@СтепанАлексеев-г1ъ]

9:00 I guess one another we can thought it have been mixed with is Pit of Consciousness?)))

[@JimboKM]

Can't wait for you to hear & see Mediator and Wallflower.

[@gabber_ro1789]

07:58 - My thoughts exactly ! Be safe, be positive !

[@shaunbryan3421]

Wallflower starts off slow and soft and progressively builds up to the heaviness. Mediator hits you right from the beginning with the heaviness.

[@jennifermartin40]

This is such a great song! Probably my favorite off this new album

[@mylife1221]

5:18 im so glad im not the only one that noticed how amazing this part is

[@tyef572]

I have been waiting for you to react to this new album. I love your reactions. You're gonna fucking love this album... welcome back.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

They're getting bigger and better all the time.

[@terrigarrett6630]

More please? Thank you!!!

I noticed you're one of the very few reactors that actually identify that with a black hole right away....👍

[@johnbedinghaus2390]

Tati's 'clean' vocals are like sweet melting caramel to me. Soooo smooth and creamy!

[@PiercedBrosmen]

It's very hard to pick "a bad one" when it comes to Jinjer 😍 Personally I'd say "Wallflower" next. All three videos relased so far from this album are very different from one another. Another, newer video from their previous album, that I'd highly recommend, is "Home Back" 🤘😎🤘

[@lobotomomine]

Yes, Home Back is my 🤘

[@Skurian_krotesk]

I agree with home back even though it is not from the new album but this song is one of their most important ones!!!

[@bugleaf9603]

their new stuff is by far THE BEST they have ever released

[@majestylisa77]

you should watch Wallflower

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Jinjer are just *so good* these days! Interesting that you mentioned you thought you'd only heard "the first chorus".... I wouldn't expect much in the way of verse-chorus-verse-bridge/breakdown-chorus formulae thru this new album!! I reckon the fact that Vlad's a classically trained pianist to trade is showing itself (he composed ~80% of the music on it), as there is much more manipulating-motifs-with-varying-dynamics-to-create-movements than standard structure going on with this.... & I'm loving it. #SuperRefreshing :)

[@module79l28]

Did you notice that between 5:25 and 5:35 the director went back and repeated the shots? To me that's one of the coolest parts in the video, together with the Vortex pulsating with Tatiana's screams and the Fiat Ducato van. : ) Next: Grey Wolf reacts to the White Wolf vs. the Black Wolf (Wallflower). ; ) And before I forget: SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRL!!! \m/

[@gregcissell345]

Mediator is awesome !

[@Jinjer13]

that is the musical complexity of a world class band !!!! and nice that you are back in the Jinjer Army! you can look forward to more great songs on their new record.............................. first "wallflower" and then "mediator" many thanks for your emotional reaction and many greetings from germany

It's Jinjer time and I will be here for that. This album is epic. You are going to enjoy it. Peace from Stan the Alaskan

[@JeffWheezingGrampusGoddard]

Aahhh! I've been waiting for this for so long! Your Jinjer reactions never disappoint and I had a sneaky feeling you were going to dig this! Excellent reaction, and I'm looking forward to more. Jinjer have created some next level music on this album.... you're right, they deserve to be up with those top level bands. They have worked so hard and deserve all the praise and plaudits and a following of millions. 🤘

[@darinosmond2640]

I've been wondering where you've been, always enjoy your Jinjer reactions. Glad you're back! 🤘

[@Doomlord777]

Wallflower will blow you away dude! Nee album takes a few plays but its on another level!

[@EmAllWasTaken]

Nice to see you getting back to Jinjer. Hopefully Mediator and Wallflower follow soon. Do BOTH.

[@fabioguerra8]

I´ve been waiting for you to react to "Home back", and some older ones like "Outlander", "Ape" or "Words of wisdom" etc, you can´t go wrong with any of their tracks...

[@timmarkley9309]

Glad to see you back with the Jinjer reactions! Definitely check out "Wallflower" and "Mediator" from the new album next.

[@f1akman]

Wow...it's about time mate! Welcome back to Jinjer! This album and the videos they've released have been epic!

[@ronniestory8308]

Listen to mediator and wallflower next! It seams like this album they step it up

[@tribaltalker1608]

I love this track but it took me half a dozen listens before I got it. Some of the riffs are chained together with time signature changes to accommodate them, so there's an off-kilter cyclic pattern running through the middle of the track. It's a vortex made of riffage. Complex but rewarding and very impressive.

[@dbell582]

Album released last August 27th if you hadn’t seen that already. Great reaction. Wallflower would be my choice for next reaction if you haven’t already. I’m catching this 4 days after you posted it so I might not have seen anything yet. Glad to see you back on Jinjer and this masterpiece album. 😁

Definitely "Mediator" next, and then "Wallflower", that is the order they had released them, and "Vortex" was the first one. Thanks for your great appreciation. Kudos from Ukraine!

[@notimportant3686]

ukraine is universe's little secret pool of talent... we just get little bits here and when we do we mostly don't know where it's from, jinjer is one such example.... the virtuoso, most skilled boxer in the world is ukrainian too...the insane amount of unrecognized art that came out of that little country too

[@camlloyd3321]

Definitely check out Wallflower, and Mediator from the new album. Both are very different, and unique songs.

[@maaronsmith]

ABOUT TIME! Haha I've been waiting for you to show back up and do some new jinjer stuff. Their new album is amazing! Can't wait to see you do their other new songs!

[@anastasiagarina7189]

" Hardkiss" is also supercool ukrainian group and they have gorgeous video.

[@ПавелДемидов-я2т]

The next one is Mediator and then Wallflower. Do it in historical order of release! Both videos are incredible and songs as well! I swear it will blow your mind even more!!! It's just a masterpiece! Damn, I envy you that you didn't watch it yet!

Wallflower. The video is bonkers and the song is so damn good.

Back it up before the continue please. Remember Blockbuster please rewind the tape thank you.

[@cooltechnician]

Wait until you react to Wallflower,, it’s amazingly good

[@lobotomomine]

Mr. GreyBeardWolf, you should reacting to Wallflower (Song) itself

[@persategou8452]

You should definitely check out Spiritbox. They're a lovely band.

[@dtpfeiffer]

Both of the other new videos are worth checking out and the songs are quite different. The album is awesome overall and has been out for a few weeks now. Wallflower is the better video story wise, as Mediator is mostly just the band playing in a couple different settings. Spiritbox just released their new album last week too. Pretty sure you've checked them out before. It's really good also. So much great new music being released this year, it's hard to keep up with everything.

[@nimasharifi7999]

Binged-watched all your Jinjer reactions n subbed to check out what other fav bands i'll find in here (doubt there's any Opeth since you apparently are a fan already). Btw, you mentioned 'I Speak Astronomy' but there's no reaction to that on your channel. PLEASE react to these Jinjer videos: 'Home Back', 'Pit of Consciousness, live in Kiev', and 'Outlander'. ALSO, would you please consider reacting to: - Sons of Apollo, 'Signs of the Time' (official video) - Ayreon, 'The Day That The World Breaks Down' (official video) Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

[@Aussie-]

Jinjer fan base is definitely growing, its still criminal they aint way bigger, the only thing holding them back IMO is been signed to a independent label. Been the humble people Jinjer are they will no doubt stay loyal to Napalm which will deny them the huge success they deserve. There's 2 new MV to choose from Mediator and Wallflowers. Umm watch them as we did in order of release😉 (Vortex, Mediator, Wallflowers)

[@BTAColorado]

I would argue that Napalm has some of the hottest bands in the non-pop genres and they are only becoming stronger as a label. Their band support seems pretty strong with these video productions and tours. The social media work they have done with the band has been a major boost, particularly this year. I don't see Napalm holding them back through contractual obligations. Just the opposite, they have given them a lot of freedom to grow however they saw fit as a band. I think their relationship will strengthen both. All the above is of course IMO.

[@rofyle]

I think the bigger reason why they will never be as popular as bands like Slipknot and GnR is because they are not what used to be called "radio friendly." In other words they're not as commercially viable as someone like Slipknot, meaning they don't repeat the same four notes over and over until it gets stuck in your head even when you hate it, they don't follow the same song structure ad nauseam (verse-verse-chorus-verse), and they don't repeat the same record ten different times. The mass audience has been trained for decades to respond only to simple repetitions (ma-ma-ma-ma my pokerface). Bands like Jinjer are anything but repetitious. Even their earliest stuff sounds dissimilar. Cloud Factory is different than King of Everything which is different than Macro. With Korn, every album sounds the same.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

@@rofyle Yeah. If a huge portion of people think metal sounds like noise, imagine how Jinjer would sound to them. Even I struggle a lot of times when I first listen to new songs of them, and then need several more times to listen to them to properly "hear" the song. Jinjer is just incredibly complex music and with that kind of an acquired taste. The radio and pop charts are all about easy to listen music.

[@Aussie-]

@@BTAColorado agree with most what your saying, the thing Independent labels do lack is ability to market at level of other labels and (possible) lack connections in high places. I remember interviews with Eugene & Tatiana (post Napalm) saying they would be touring across countries in smallish not so mechanically sound buses. Limited budgets are thing when signed to small and independent labels which affects marketing. Macro should have been a massive success and elevated the band to next level..

[@alanzimmerman1674]

The new Jinjer album is great--as is your reaction here. But you need to check out the very similar band Spiritbox, who also has a great new album (Try"Circle With Me") or the still-undiscovered band Morphide ("Panopticon" or their impressive Jinjer covers for that matter).

[@tomkeane8545]

If you haven't already done so, do Home Back the last release before Vortex, before you move onto the rest of this album.

[@laxstateofmind]

You gotta check out Mediator and Copycat off the new Jinjer album too!

[@vanlepthien6768]

"Wallflower" is great. Speaking of Metallica, check out Alessia Cara and The Warning's version of "Enter Sandman" off the "Blacklist" album. Not what you will expect.

[@joshmcclung4647]

You dont have to pause jinjer they allow reactions so does any napalm records songs

[@rofyle]

Not true. It's not that simple. I know channels that have received copyright strikes from Napalm. Studios and labels don't have the capability or personnel required to comb millions of uploads every hour searching for possible copyright issues, so they farm this process out to other companies. It's those other companies that issue the copyright complaints on behalf of the studios and labels. Sometimes these companies screw up. In addition there are also less than honest companies out there who issue false copyright complaints in an attempt to secure some of the ad revenue for themselves. Tom Macdonald recently encountered this issue. This is why everyone complains about KZbin's copyright process. It's a mess.

[@saulsj2717]

The big monster inside the vortex is like a garbage Megazord. Jokes aside, Jinjer never disappoint. All hail Tatiana, the Witch Queen of Metal.
