Hi guys, if you haven't checked it already - be sure to watch my solo piano arrangement of PISCES! 🎹 kzbin.info/www/bejne/boakZoWtaa-jm6c

[@leob3447]

Please do check this out - this was such a brilliant take on Pisces!

[@scambammer6102]

The song actually flows perfectly but it takes a few listens to realize that.

[@ryanexsus]

The Micro EP is where they exploded in popularity. Every one of these is a banger.

[@matthewstayancho3454]

It's where they got their Vlad on...

[@roytaylor8326]

Awesome mate, you reacted to one of my favourite Jinjer songs, funky, groovy and heavy hitting. Glad you liked it. I listen to it most days before going to work,it gets me moving. Take care and stay warm.

[@JWSoundworks2]

I'm writing this with only a t shirt on...well trousers too. We have heat again! 🤘

[@maaronsmith]

I listen to this a lot on my way to work too! Except I listen to the live at Mystic Music Festival version

[@patfix]

This song got me back into the band. Amazing stuff!

[@nhentschelo]

Jinjer - On The Top or Jinjer - The Prophecy next please! :)

[@lobotomomine]

Vote for The Prophecy

[@jazoon7249]

Ape has been one of favorite Jinjer songs from the first time I heard it. This is off the EP Micro.

[@TheWorldAccordingToArf]

This was my first favorite of Jinjer's. I claim it. :) There is a live version, shot from behind on stage. I can't remember if you ever see Tatiana's face. It's fire and a fun watch, ya know, just for yourself, Mr. JW.

[@fjolagu]

When you see this played live it´s like witnessing some power monster being released on stage. Epic!

[@nullunit5566]

Ape really is a masterpiece! No more, no less, than necessary!

[@TysonGiffordME]

This is the song that really got me into Jinjer... I'd heard Pisces and I Speak Astronomy and some other stuff, but then this song came out and blew me away and I got really into them... the Micro EP is when the band really started coming together.

[@GregPYatesJr]

I LOVE this song so much!! I'm currently "attempting" to learn how to play these drums parts, I've got about 80% down, but those blast beats are FAST AS FUCK. There's so much complexity in this track within such a short running time, it's crazy!!

[@willn.8057]

This one is an absolute favorite of mine, easily top 3! One thing I kinda missed in this one is the second listen through where you stop more and point at specific things you notice in the music. I really enjoyed the format you used on your reactions for Wallflowers, and wished that stuck around. But anyway, I might be nitpicking at this point, any day with a new Jinjer reaction from you is a good day, just wanted to share this thought. Cheers Mate!

[@mikedanger6323]

A great reaction to a great song...

[@NativeNewMexican]

You should do a team up reaction to a Jinjer song with Anna Vaskelainen. Both of you have been impressed with them in similar fashion, you both provide references to other artists that would definitely let you bounce off of each other well.

[@AdmiralKnight]

Damn it's been like two years since I've heard this song, I forgot how amazing it was

[@JimboKM]

Pleasantly surprised you hadn't already done this one.

[@gtrsean2429]

Vlad's first composition for Jinjer.🤘I really dig the abrupt beginning. Then the intentional chaotic nature of the music/tempos that beautifully and masterfully support and convey the "chaos" of the narrative is brilliant. 👍Next, in true Jinjer form, a breakdown to groove town! 🎶This is a special band that only comes around once in a generation. In this old guy's opinion anyway. 😎

[@tomislavkosanovic1104]

It's Micro EP, the one with Teacher teacher and Perennial on. It took a while for this one to ripen in my head, but I hear a clear difference between this and first of all Macro (the next album), let alone Wallflowers. This one is way easier for me to grasp and learn to ride through (all the things that are happening).

[@stevekallio6783]

Another great reaction JW. Ape is my 2nd favorite Jinjer song, only behind Pit of Consciousness. It's funny because when I first heard Ape, I thought it's good, but after about 30+ listens, I ended up loving it. Some Jinjer songs are like that for me, some I love immediately, others it takes multiple listens, but eventually I end up loving all of their songs. I believe this is one of the first songs that Vlad composed for the group, and Eugene actually produced this video. Keep up the great reactions my friend, and as always, stay Metal. 😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@JWSoundworks2]

Cheers, Steve, appreciate that dude!

[@aryanmia4963]

JW, get another layer or two on & a hot drink 'cos you're making me feel cold & here in New Zealand it's 30 degrees celcius today. 'Loved the reaction, probably because you pick my favourite bands to analyse/react to.

[@paulorovisco2108]

That's one of my fav of them. Also captain clock

[@Kipperbob]

I love how Jinjer can seemingly syncopate and control dissonance all over the place but still keep the groove rock solid. This is definitely the best surprise of a band since I first heard Pantera far beyond driven back in the 90s,i a bolt out of the blue just when you think you've heard it all.

[@stangcobra592]

This is off Micro the EP after touring for King of Everything. They said it was a quick production to get new music out cause festivals were in the future and time was sparce.It's Vlads introduction recording wise..I'd say Jinjer did pretty good this EP also has Teacher Teacher and Perennial. Do another one off King of E, if your in the mood for hyperblast riffing and piercing vocals "Sit Stay Rollover"(Napalm signed them after they saw this video, haha), New York hardcore vibes "Words of Wisdom" Or if you want quadruple hearts for Vlad😍do "Under the Dome" drum playthrough over the studio track with vocals

[@jenniferknight1198]

This is all exactly how I feel listening to “Ape”. Every time. Love your reactions!

[@heck75nj]

The more you hear this song ..the more you like it ..it's just mind blowing ...

[@notdynomonkey]

I KNEW you would appreciate this truly BADASS song for what it is!!! Chocked full of what only JINJER can do. This is a favorite of mine and I just saw them do it live in December

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

It's Jinjer time and I am here for that. Great job as always peace from Stan the Alaskan

[@TheKotofoto]

Before the "Wallflower" launched, Ape was my favourite piece of controlled chaos from Jinjer )) I was afraid that it would be not so fresh after the latest album mentioned, but you definitely enjoyed it! thank you for your reaction! )

[@autemniaequinoctius2030]

yeah, sure my favorite Jinjer's song and favorite album - Micro

[@roxyrichter6654]

Yay! Been waiting for this one and you never disappoint. This song blew my mind the first time I heard it, especially since the sound was quite different from King of Everything. I also love that Vlad has his sticks backwards through this whole video. EDIT: Your stank face is my fave 😁 Hope you're staying warm!

[@alandixon1787]

Your reactions are always so great. You really know how to make things insightful for someone who is not a musician. I can’t get enough of Jinjer every time I listen to something I haven’t heard I wind up listening to it over and over. Right now I can’t stop listening to scissors and cloud factory live.

[@arc6017]

Absolutely love this! It´s like a short stick of dynamite. Everything in the Micro EP is just spot on, and every track goes in my top-10 favourite of Jinjer songs, including the title track. Great reaction!

[@mylife1221]

this was the song where i fell in love with jinjer's breakdowns. i first heard it during the hellfest from home live show they did and i wasn't expecting the breakdown, completely ripped my face off and crumpled it into a black hole. also 3:01 is one of the grooviest pieces of music they've ever made. love it so much

[@mylife1221]

also wow, your channel has blown up! congrats john, you totally deserve it

[@JWSoundworks2]

Crazy, dude, eh? Thank you! :D

[@mylife1221]

@@JWSoundworks2 oh by the way, i'd love to see you pick apart The Mara Effect by Spiritbox. the live performance specifically - i think it's a work of art and i'd love to see your thoughts on it. it is 16 minutes long though

[@johnnybravo5670]

Now that's the kind of reaction to this song I'd expect to see! Very well done sir. For me, this song ranks right near the top of all Jinjer songs from a vocal standpoint....next to Cloud Factory and Pisces. Musically, you're right, they pack so much in this little song but it all somehow fits and sounds amazing.

[@Berglundish]

The lyrics are really fucking good for Ape, it took me some time to actually read them but I was suprised!

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

My favorite Jinjer song...

[@hemlock399]

This is a song that didn't resonate with me at first, but now it's one of my faves from Jinjer. It's insane that they can create a 3 1/2 minute song with, like, 8 *highly* distinct movements. Since you were so taken with Vlad's performance, you my want to have a look at a drum playthrough: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHXcm5uVhNaDoac&ab_channel=JinjerMetalBand

[@olegassitikovas5505]

YOURS IS THE BEST RREACTIONS OF JINJER MUSIC!!!

[@dzendras]

9:39 reaction, yet felt much, much longer! :P I must say I did not appreciate Ape so much when Micro came out as to me it felt chaotic. I just wasn't ready. Now I am :)

[@jarred_w]

Glad you did ape, one of my favourites. You should do The Prophecy next.

[@pabloragusa]

Hey John! Great reaction as usual! Ape is such a great song... and those last growls really pack a punch! Has the bromance with Vlad officially started?! You've been admiring his work since day one but today it creeped to new heights! I LOL'd way harder that I should've at the edit of you two and the heart! Cheers!!!

[@rusdeemat4303]

hai bro u r the best reaction very detail all the best

[@ubayunyu2]

byuh byuh mantap.. awesome stuff, great reaction.. love it John.. thanks 👍❤️😘🇮🇩

[@eqgilethan]

Ape was off of Micro and I often listen to The Prophecy from Macro right after. The two songs have their own sound, but The Prophecy was a 'continuation' of sorts to Ape. The two songs fit together so well.

[@djbenkinobi1]

...if you think you survive that....Sit Stay Roll Over...by far the most IN YOUR FACE track from jinjer (offical video from 2014 i think)😅and a little sub

[@dtpfeiffer]

As already mentioned, this is from the Micro EP. They released it in Jan of 2019 (although this song came out as a single before that) and then recorded Macro, which came out in Oct that same year. There are a few connections between them too. The Prophecy has a lyrical connection to this song and there is also one between Dreadful Moments/Retrospection. I don't recall you doing much of their older stuff. It's worth checking out Exposed As A Liar (their first music vid) or Scissors to see how far they've come.

[@juanmontealegre1312]

So good song

[@hishamterusham3987]

Sir nice reaction .

[@armadika6037]

🤟🤟

[@barefootalien]

Heheh, yeah, Ape is absolutely brutal.

[@module79l28]

I was going to ask you if you could guess who wrote this song but I'm not going to anymore because I see you've already read some of the comments. So, instead of that I'm going to leave you a link to a video made by a fan of the band after this song came out, because he liked a particular part of it so much: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqnXiZSmh9uCbdU. Enjoy! 🤘😆🤘

[@jkoll42]

I've loved you working your way through Jinjer - have you checked out Bloodywood's new album? Would love to see you react to some of them. Dana Dan that was just released is a straight banger!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Haven't heard them before!

[@jkoll42]

@@JWSoundworks2 If you check them out throw on subtitles - it's a mix of English and Hindi and the lyrics are pretty heavy!

[@ur_quainmaster7901]

I've probably posted some version of this 20 times in various Jinjer reactions. When this song comes on during the Alive in Melbourne performance, the whole band has shifted into high gear... Tatiana is fully warmed up, and they fucking -destroy- for the next hour. I've heard the whole thing many times, and I can pick out two or three tiny imperfections, and a few times where Tatiana skips some high notes. Were it any better, I'd wonder if it was faked.

when they made good music

[@oldmanjimh3165]

What did you call the song? The 'a' is long.

[@JWSoundworks2]

I have absolutely no idea what you are asking. Are you making fun of my accent?

[@oldmanjimh3165]

@@JWSoundworks2 Not making fun, just never heard that pronunciation. It sounded like 'ip' rather than ape with a long 'a' sound.

[@JWSoundworks2]

@@oldmanjimh3165 That's a relief. It almost sounded like you were explaining how to say the word "ape" to a grown man. Not condescending at all.

[@user-ty1su3cd3v]

boring music

[@gimiwanishkaa]

I'm confused. Is this song boring or good? Or maybe this song is a rare boring song from a time when Jinjer otherwise made good music? You're sending mixed messages.

[@oldscratch3535]

Vlad put Jinjer over the top in my opinion. I would still listen to them if they had their old drummers, but Vlad brought something very special to the band.
