Someone found the right formula for KZbin. 1) Listen to a whole song + 2) Go back and provide analysis + 3) Wrap it all up in 30 minutes with minimal editing = Genius. Too bad more bands don't realize the new medium is KZbin. Well done as always John.

[@JWSoundworks2]

I love this format - glad you like it too, David. Unfortunately I know it won't always work (it's dependent on the band/label/youtube audio/visual copyright algorithm). Have had older videos blocked for playing too much of the original song uninterrupted. But once I discover a new artist that is cool with it I think I'll go with that format for any more of their songs! :)

[@Jinjer13]

ohohohohohoohohohoho............ one more time, you know what I mean, many thanx for your constructive kind of music reactions

[@subzero2788]

This is one of those songs you can't dislike

[@the_hetman]

In earlier songs, as you said, Roman sits back and provides atmosphere to the song. This one is unashamedly guitar led. The whole band knows how to give the space to let rest shine. John, keep up the good work. Your enjoyment is clear and you insight is invaluable.

[@The1988alex]

Discovering Jinjer a couple years ago was like discovering Slipknot and Pantera back in 99. Haven't been this stoked about a band in a long time and this new album is amazing!!! They just keep getting better. I love your channel by the way. also a musician and your break down of music is one of the best on youtube

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks dude!

[@sweirich777]

I have been a huge fan of music and all types of music in general since childhood. I have recordings going back to 1895. I have also been a disc jockey from 1989 to 1999. That's when I left the field because of big corporations taking over and buying out all the great mom and dad stations here in the united states'. They made every genre type of station all cookie cutter. Playing the same songs and nothing else. It's awful. They have no real talent here anymore and everything is voice tracked. Disc jockies are a thing of the past and personal choice in music that a individual would choose is a thing of the past too. The only way you can get that old school talent anymore is by listening to college and high school radio stations and they are very few and far between here in the united states'. I love your channel and reviews that you do. Your understanding of music is incredible. Thank you for what you are doing. Please keep this up. I am so happy I found your channel

[@stangcobra592]

BUT has it eclipsed "King of Everything" ?

[@cat-o-matic]

It just keeps getting better and better.

[@ATFISHING]

So I got the album the day it came out, but held back from listening to it because I wanted to hear your reaction and brakedown first. Glad I did. It's given me a whole new appreciation to what's going on in the songs. You've got a winning formula here... I love it!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

o_O Wow, that's a massive vote of confidence for John's #AlbumCompanion efforts here. Great stuff! :)

[@JWSoundworks2]

That's absolutely unreal, dude! Thank you so much for the vote of confidence!!!🤘

[@YersinisPestis]

"I love your unresolved tri-tone", said once in a black metal barbie parody commercial but I think it applies here as well. haha. Great content! I do some orchestral composition stuff in my newest band and I get a lot of inspiration listening to you because you really do a great job connecting the visceral expression of the music and how it can be beautifully constructed. I really appreciate it!

[@Acekhan201]

I think they know what they are doing, lol. They've always been aware of repetition's limits, but they've been growing by leaps and bounds in their composition.

[@erikalbertson7483]

Probably my favorite track ! Roman is on another level here. Strong Mastodon vibes at times. Should be great live !

[@iconicfury]

I really like your reactions. Very informative!

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

Aaaa yeah it's Jinjer time. So far it's Ronan's incredible guitar killing it. You are so right I have not heard a bad song yet but I like some more than others but everyone is different and at least we agree on one thing Jinjer is great. Again you killed it I'm really feeling this format. Peace from Stan the Alaskan.

[@ndve8229]

All killer no filler, and its like this on every record from first til now its very rare. Shure they dont sound the same but thats just a bonus i think. Like tatiana says "we dont want to be boring" Great break downs of the songs. Nice to se someone with real good understanding of everything from production to song writing. Think many will come to love your input on this channel.

[@manudosde]

At the risk of repeating myself, your analysis is always on point. Thanks for your work, it helps me appreciate these songs even more.

[@Monster1111]

Another top level analysis. Had this on countdown all day. Beautiful Shepherd you have. One of my favorite dogs. Can't wait for the next one. Keep rockin man! ❤🤘

[@JWSoundworks2]

Cheers, man. He's the best boy! Incredible animals. 🤘🐕‍🦺

@@JWSoundworks2 I had an Awesome GS growing up as a young kid, so loyal!

[@chrishayden8137]

The beginning definitely has an old school The Fall of Troy sound. I love this album. I’ll be seeing them in November for the first time 🤘🏻

[@fjolagu]

You make me appreciate Jinjer even more. Didn´t think it was possible! Great analysis as always 🤘

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thank-you Fjola! ❤️🤘

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Yes.... all hail the #ALBUM!! :) I'm with you re. my ear being drawn between guitar, drums, bass, vocal (melody as an instrument) on early listens.... then paying specific attention to lyrics later on, once I've absorbed the music & so have the capacity to take in another layer. The unusual thing with Jinjer is how many listens it takes to absorb the music in the first place!... I feel like it's stretching my abilities re. what I can take on board while I'm going thru these new songs. #Rewarding Good call with the wee bit of Mike Bordin-esque drums & Mike Patton-esque vocal phrasing. I wonder if any of them are FNM fans, or whether FNM were just so ahead of their time & widely influential that there are FNM-isms in all sorts of good bands these days?

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks for the comment, dude. Good to get to hear some of your thoughts on this stuff too! :)

[@ryanexsus]

Songs keep getting heavier and heavier.

[@stangcobra592]

Another Stellar Analysis. Tati said the guys gave her a demo of all 11 songs and she would spend a couple days with each one to in her words "feel the vibe and atmosphere" it brought to her mind. I'm not 100% positive but I don't think the guys throw out tracks, everything composed for each release is recorded.Tati said with Wallflowers a number of the songs had just a couple lines from a poem she wrote in the past as an idea or a topic in her head as she went into the recording studio & the lyrics were improvised there. The doomy lyrics when the "Hardcore" break came in are So fitting for the speed, an intruder is breaking in with a sack looking for gold.

[@DarkFirefly13]

Amazing content and explanations as always, so interesting and enlightening. Now I feel that when I listen to something new, I pay better attention to everything that is going on, instead of just the overall groove and the singer. Your videos are making me a better listener so thank you!

[@laxstateofmind]

My favorite track on the album at this point. Love that opening riff. I was looking forward to your reaction on this one

[@robertocarlini3928]

I have been passing 20min trying to figure out what your great intro reminded me of: there’s a piece in the middle which reminded me of Nothing To Say from Angra, one of my all-time-favourite songs. Always enjoying your work. Thanks!!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thank you, Roberto! I must check them out - I've never listened to Angra before!

[@Paulfighteronline]

Another great Jinjer reaction, I'm really enjoying this track by track album review!🤘 Copycat is another killer song from this album, but it's hard to pick a favourite, really. Quite a couple more gems remaining, so I'm looking forward to the next few! P.S.: The Premiere was fun, will def check out the Dillinger albums you mentioned🔥

[@JWSoundworks2]

Cheers for tuning in, Paul! 😁🤘

[@clalo4]

I love that moment early on where you can see on your face that your brain goes, "YEP!! Another winner!!" :) I have seen some full album reviews from folks who actually say that the album is uninspired, sloppy, generic, etc. I just don't get that. I mean, if you don't like it, fine. I have no problem with that. But if you can't appreciate the talent of this band......I don't know. My only guess is that just like in the gaming community, some folks think it is cool to hate. I heard one dude say that we only like Jinjer because of Tatiana! Like, that is a bad thing or something! LOL!!! Your reviews are the best, dude! Keep up the great work! Gorgeous puppy you got there too! \m/ \m/

[@Karen-vf8no]

Hell yeahhhh

[@metalgearshady7875]

Interesting analysis as always, thanks! Really looking forward for the next one on the album I believe part of it had a cameo in Wallflower video which I found neat

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks for being here dude! Appreciate the kind words! 🤘

[@janinebedfordl]

OMG, you're right! And I love FNM and Mike Patton, maybe that's why I've come out of musical appreciation retirement / sulk to fangirl over Jinjer

[@module79l28]

Musical appreciation retirement... I like how that sounds. ; ) In my case, my musical appreciation didn't retire in the early 2000's, it just began to apply to less and less bands. Even nowadays it only applies to a few, Jinjer being one of them. : )

[@gost]

Maybe it's the time to interview them and ask all of the questions you have :) Your questions will be unique as your videos are.

[@arminthielen8570]

I know you like the heavy stuff more , as i do BUT would love to see an Reaction/Analysis of Danny Carey Live Drum of Pneuma ...

[@Flesharrower]

I think your dawg was at risk of getting a blast beat patting session on the noggin at one point there.

[@boltron7674]

King Gizzard’s album, Infest the Rats’ Nest, needs your full album reaction. It’s only about 35 minutes and tells a lovely story. Or do “Side A” reaction followed by the “Side B”. You’re doing a fine job with these Jinjer videos, keep it up. Can’t wait to see them in November. 🤞

[@culloden1745]

Great analysis again. I notice (and so did you) that there seems to be more 'bluesy' parts to Tatiana's singing on this album. I wonder if this is to give it more appeal to non metal listeners? Easier for people to remember and sing- a-long to in their head .

[@FlashKorten]

Hi John, always a pleasure! I'd be interested in your thoughts on the intro to Copycat. To me it sounds like a 'normal' 2 bar riff with 4 repetitions, but they seem to start on 2 of the first riff and add one beat right at the end to make up for the difference. I really like it, because I'm thrown off twice right at the start of the song... Definitely overthinking this, but it sounds to me like they wrote it as if 'someone effed up selecting the audio in a DAW to copy and paste'. Have a beautiful day!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks dude! And I totally get what you mean with the intro. If I was transcribing it I'd probably do it the following way per bar - 7/4 4/4 4/4 --- 4/4 4/4 --- 4/4 5/4

[@grae7229]

I’m having fun. Thanks again for doing this. You have a will of iron or a serious masochistic kink to not listen to everything.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks dude. "You have a will of iron or a serious masochistic kink to not listen to everything" .That statement would be totally accurate if you replace the word "or" with "and".🤘

[@aamiw99]

Love the reactions and analyses! This is my 2nd favourite of the album after Mediator. That hook is super catchy. Btw, any chance you can turn yourself up? The music is much louder than you are in the videos.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Yeah, I just bought a new mic booster as this mic needs driven hard to be heard without hitting the noise floor. Still experimenting. First time I've had anyone asking for my voice to go up, though, which is good, any similar comments are people wanting to hear me less 😂 Thanks for the kind words!🤘

[@aamiw99]

@@JWSoundworks2 You're welcome! I mostly watch at night, so unless I'm using headphones I have to turn the volume down when there's music and up when you're talking. The content itself is amazing, and I wouldn't want more or less of anything else.

it's hard to analyse meh album I assume

[@JWSoundworks2]

Analysing Ed Sheeran would be harder than this. Mostly because I'd have to resist the temptation to end my life before the song was over. This is a pleasure.

[@roxyrichter6654]

If it's so meh, why bother to comment on every video about how "meh" it is? Just wondering...

[@ЛимпКот]

@@roxyrichter6654 I'm looking for someone to change my mind

[@oldscratch3535]

@@roxyrichter6654 I sometimes wonder what people like this, the people who think this is "meh", actually hear. Because they damn sure aren't hearing what I hear. I guess I can sort of understand their mentality b/c I have a great disdain for mumble rap, yet there are people out there who get goosebumps from it. I have no appreciation or understanding for it, nor do I think it should even be considered music.

[@johnmitchell8763]

Don't listen to whoever this person or these people are. They are just going around to different jinjer reaction videos trying to start crap or just idiots take your pick.
