If you're after studio tracks and really like being surprised with the rhythmical changes and other nice "jinjer" things like that, then definitely "Teacher, Teacher" (ov) 😁

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks George, that one is definitely on my radar after the comments about it! 😊🤘

Side note : their set was delayed about 10 while the venue worked out a monitor issue. Another band was coming though their monitors. Kept bleeding (notice Tatiana fiddling with her's) and going into that slide belt toward the end she flicked the monitor out of her ear so the dude singing in her monitor wouldn't screw her up.

@@JWSoundworks2 I’m with Carrie. For full production value “I Speak Astronomy” is what you’re looking for.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

I *love* the quieter interlude in this- my man Eugene on bass with his left hand steady with the low-end meat, & the right hand tapping out the melody over Roman's arpeggiated funky chords on guitar.... gives such a smooth, calm, feel for Tatiana's clean vocal to soar over. Her breath control for that long belted passage is impressive after the amount of energy she'd already used up to that point. Just great all round. And considering They're from the Russian-speaking war-torn Donbass, so English is a 3rd or 4th language for them, the lyrics are impressively poetic- they put many a natively English-speaking band to shame in this department! :) In live gigs, they make use of backing tracks thru Vlad's MacBook for intros, some clean vocal harmonies etc. Personally, I think they have a great balance of giving the live crowd enough of what's on the record for familiarity, paired with playing the guts of the thing live & just being ridiculously tight! Considering that for the couple of years up til the lockdown bullsh1t kicked off, they were doing 150+ live shows a year, I suppose you'd expect them to be pretty tight live!! An unmissable live performance which is better than the album track imho, is the intense "Who Is Gonna Be The One": kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fVp2innp1gbtU (This should show you why Eugene is my man for live bass playing right now. And I'm sure you'll appreciate the hard pivot ending) ;) Studio recordings & official music videos which I reckon you'll appreciate are: "Teacher Teacher": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPOg6qCZdudhck (epic multi-movement structure with interesting timings somehow without losing groove [witchcraft?!]) "Retrospection": kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZmVqoKbl8h4hK8 (a bruising *pounder* of a song, with live gig & behind-the-scenes footage montage video showing how they really do treat their fans as extended family) "Home Back": kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqXCepKdndKLf7M (absolute #PeakSyncopation!! - It's not often that I have to listen to a song 3 or 4 times thru for it to start making sense to me! And the chilled section in this one with the trippyAF Alice in Wonderland section of the video is bonkers *genius* ) LOL :)

[@JWSoundworks2]

Wow fantastic commentary. Great info/insight. Thank you!

[@stevekallio6783]

Another great reaction bro. I really enjoy musicians/reactors like yourself dissect a song and explain what is going on when it comes to a particular song. I myself am not a musician, I love music basically because how it sounds and how it makes me feel. When it comes to Jinjer though, even I knew that their music especially their newer stuff is very complex, so it's nice for someone to explain what's going on. As far as a future Jinjer reaction, I'm gonna suggest my personal favorite Jinjer song which is Pit of Conciousness, both the official video and the live version in Kiev/Kyiv are amazing. Maybe even do a double feature with both videos, so you can hear the studio recording and the live version to compare the two. Anyhow looking forward to more Jinjer reactions, and as always, stay Metal. 😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thank you, Steve. I think that's a great idea, actually. Must look into doing that. Thanks for the comments and suggestions! 🤘

[@TehCode99]

Great comments. Very relevant. I don't think many people truly understand the musicality that goes into some metal songs. Jinjer is great because they actually write songs that are interesting not simply from a composition perspective, but with interesting time changes, drum work, fret work, and lyrics that tell a story. Jinjer takes you on a journey over and above just giving you a reason to bang your head. And it goes without saying, Tatiana is an absolute miracle.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for the comments! I just filmed my reaction to Teacher Teacher yesterday. Scheduled to go up on Friday. So keep an eye out for it. Stunning!

[@Dark__Thoughts]

One of their talents is also to make technical songs easy to listen to. There are some more technical exceptions, but songs like this one I would easily recommend even for people with untrained ears.

[@MattKrogmeier]

I Speak Astronomy. And Beggar’s Dance, to see a fun side. Hell, the entire King Of Everything album.

[@davguev]

Beggar's Dance is a song almost no one reacts to, but it's one of my favorites. I would love to hear them do a full album in that style.

[@MattKrogmeier]

@@davguev I would love Jinjer to do just an album of jazz standards, with their own arrangements, of course. It’d be phenomenal.

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

Of course we do! "Teacher, Teacher" or "I Speak Astronomy" would be perfect. And then further on "Home Back" or "The Prophecy", two very technical and fast and heavy songs. On the other hand something like "On the Top" or "Pit of Consciousness" would also be good choices, both the studio and the live from Kiev versions! You won`t hear many differences in quality! 😊👍

[@macthegov]

Echoing your recommendations for "Teacher Teacher" and "I Speak Astronomy" for stuido tracks. Especially "I Speak Astronomy" as an older track where it seems they were playing with sounds.

[@saltydroog854]

It's amazing to me that Vlad, their drummer, is the only one with any professional music training, and his training was in classical piano. He only learned drums to play in Jinjer. And he stands out to me as one of the greatest metalcore drummers around.

[@artiemeyer9988]

Not only is Vlad an incredible drummer, he is also an accomplished pianist and guitarist. The band originally had 2 guitarists so Eugene fills in with his bass to make up for the lack of the second guitar

[@saltydroog854]

I think because Roman (guitar) and Eugene (bass) aren't professionally trained musicians, I feel like that lends itself to how well they play together. No one is trying to outshine anyone. They completely depend on each other, combining to be greater than the sum of their parts. True synergy

[@alex.t8910]

They sound like they do on the records. There is no extra in the studio. Yes, maybe 3 riffs with two guitars on the king of everything record. I've heard they say that they want to be able to play it all live like they record it. And there for it souds the same. Incredible!

[@shifty7629]

Eugene (bass) has mentioned in interviews that he uses the 5 string bass to help fill out their sound due to them only having the one guitar. They had two originally, but it's just been the four of them for a while now. Oh, fun fact you might enjoy about Vlad their drummer: He's a classically trained pianist too. They have a video of him playing on their Jinjer Metal Band channel.

[@JWSoundworks2]

I actually checked him out playing piano after someone else told me that fact on my last Jinjer video. Excellent stuff. Eugene's bass playing adds a fantastic dimension to the band, that's for sure. Gives them even more uniqueness.

[@jonathanc8560]

only jinjer tracks that sound similar'ish are the first stuff they released. every track has something new, different or surprising in . wait for teacher teacher and judgement and punishment

[@JWSoundworks2]

Really looking forward to hearing more from this band. Love to see a band showing musical versatility/diversity within their music.

[@eliberdinner4808]

As far as I know, the drummer is the only one who is "classically" trained, and there are recent videos of him playing piano on their YT/instagram. They're all amazing beasts though.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Afaik he's a pianist / composer too, also plays guitar. In regards to his drumming I think he has a jazz background, which would explain his somewhat unique kit and style (very small, very flat, open handed). Pretty rare for me to be hyped about a bands drummer and bassist, but Jinjer has it all.

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

Love the technical breakdown. Oh yeah it's Jinjer time and I will always be here for that 😜. These guys used to be a 5piece if you do older jinjer it's just a little different than the newer stuff but it's jinjer and their songs are all good haven't heard a band one yet. Jinjer is going to constantly trow you off that's why I love them I hear something new everytime I go back to the beginning and listen. Peace from Stan the Alaskan.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks Stan. They're a great live band, that's for sure. Looking forward to diving into some of their studio stuff too! 😊

[@kenny240]

Album version of Teacher Teacher, as well as the album or live version of I Speak Astronomy are great by this band. But, in all honesty, you can’t go wrong with Jinjer. They have such a dynamic sound to them that every song will keep you interested and engaged.

[@johnfish8208]

This performance is primarily the reason I came to like Jinjer and delve deeper into their music 😁👍👍

[@jimmorris67]

I agree with Carrie,I Speak Astronomy is an epic OMV and for some live performances Pit of Consciousness live Kiev and Retrospection live Melbourne

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks Jim. Strong consensus for those ones so I will definitely need to investigate!

[@Dark__Thoughts]

@@JWSoundworks2 Retrospection I'd suggest the music video, due to its personal nature to the bands journey. There are a lot of good videos, but I rather recommend the live ones if they're good. You could check out both if there is an official video available, because there aren't really bad ones either. It's just that I try to recommend the good live performances first, unless there is a good reason not to (like here).

[@Module79L]

This wasn't supposed to be the last song of their show but some technical problems with the stage gear delayed their start and they had to cut the set short to keep the day's schedule on time. It's the drawbacks of being a relatively unknown band, a newcomer to the festival and of playing early in the day (this was around 11 AM) on a secondary stage. They played less than 30 mins but still kicked ass. \m/ The intro is in fact a backing track, they have them for some of the song's intros, secondary guitar parts and some backing vocals. However, the vocal harmonies that you heard in the calmer part were not live, they were added in post. Great job! This is the kind of reactions where I don't mind spending 14 mins of my time. : )

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks man, a couple of people commenting that don't seem to be hearing the vocal harmonies at that point. Glad you can hear them too, and makes sense they were done in post. Thanks for the comments! 👍

I'm liking your reaction videos for Jinjer. Subbed :). I didn't have time to comment on your reaction to Pisces, but loved it as well. Yep, love this band and love this song and performance! It's nice watching musicians who know what they are talking about break things down. I agree with others, I Speak Astronomy is a great one to do next. Like many others in the comments, I love everything this band has produced and I'm not a typical metal or extreme music fan. I just love the creativity and musicianship of this band. They are all great and also just cool down to earth people in general. Tatian (vocals), Eugene (bass), Roman (guitar), and Vlad (drums). Here's a list of best quality videos I can find on KZbin (all official videos from Napalm Records or Jinjer Metal Band themselves or official release from a festival) from Cloud Factory LP to Macro LP (in order of older to newer): If I included a link to the music video and the live performance, it's because both are great videos for different reasons. Maybe a double feature would be cool to see how the song changes between live and the studio version/music video and see what the band's artistic vision was for the song? I did not include lyric videos or the audio only videos.

I'm really enjoying your style with your reaction videos. I have just enough musical knowledge to appreciate what you are saying but you are picking up on little things I might have missed. Your comment about the bass player filling out the sound because of them not having a separate rhythm and lead guitar was spot on - actually saw Eugene explaining the way he plays and that being a reason behind a lot of his choices. Looking forward to more :)

[@artursruseckis4242]

Nice analysis there. I love to see musicians doing the reactions, there are lot of interesting insights. I know you want to see studio material from Jinjer so I'll let the others to offer next songs for reaction, however, when you are ready to come back to Jinjer live performances, I would definitely suggest their song Who Is Gonna Be The One (Live) by Napalm Records. That's an amazing live performance, very rich in nuances and each band member really get's his moment to shine. Would love to hear reaction to this song from a musician who can provide all those insights that other reactors normally miss.

[@frankhermansen243]

Great reaction, Subed!

[@Ihatemushrooms77]

They won't block your video. I've seen many, many reactions to Jinjer to all their videos or live concerts and never been an issue.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Good to know Jinjer's management recognises that essentially reaction videos further promote the band. I can't understand what benefit a band's management would attain to have less positive promotion out there. Out of the 25 or so reactions I've done so far I'd say about 5 - 10 were blocked within 2 minutes of upload completion and involved several reattempts at cutting/muting etc. which is soul destroying. By working this way I have a higher chance that it'll be accepted first time. And I'm also getting into the way of this being my style now anyway. I have no issue with copyright claims (which basically every reaction video so far has acquired, as I believe the money should go to the artist) but blocking a video outright takes the fun out of doing it altogether. Cheers.

[@liz_fm]

Great analysis! I really liked how you dissected the song. I don't know much about music so I find the analysis interesting. I hope you can keep reviewing this band. I think "I Speak Astronomy" is an excellent option for you based on what you said in the video. Thanks for the reaction and keep up the good work 👍🏼.

[@zaphthegreat]

I enjoyed the analysis. Thank you. 🙂 I'm glad you're giving Vladislav Ulasevich (the drummer) the attention he deserves. He's fantastic and as far as metal drummers go, his sense of anesthetics and his subtlety in general are rarities. Technical proficiency is common among metal drummers. These other traits are not. Vlad happens to have all of them. I would suggest Teacher Teacher (just the regular music video version) as your next one. I really feel that Pisces, Perennial and Teacher Teacher are sort of a standard introductory trio when it comes to Jinjer. Beyond those, the order doesn't really matter anymore. They have many excellent tunes for you to enjoy, whether privately or in these reaction videos. Enjoy the trip.

[@DonFranko84]

Nice reaction! A couple of my personal favorites from their latest album "Macro" that I'd strongly recommend: "Pit of Consciousness" & "Home Back". Satisfaction guaranteed.

The drummer “Vlad” is bad ass for sure watch the Studio drum one take of “Under the dome”. Also Tatiana Shmailyuk the singers studio one take of “Judgment and Punishment”. As far as songs their old stuff they had two guitarist & different drummer I’d suggest “ Outlander” then I’d say “Captain Clock” live Resurrection fest “Who is going to be the one “ live resurrection fest. “Teacher Teacher” official video it’s cleaner then the Sydney live version. But typically their live stuff is the best. “Retrospection” official you’ll love the complexity of this and “HomeBack” official vids it’s about their war torn Ukraine upbringing.

I enjoy watching you break down the composition Teacher Teacher and I speak Astrology the oficial videos are the best and great ones to do next. If and when you do judgement and punishment please do the one take. I actually love the live performances the best

[@arc6017]

Great reaction, really good musical breakdown for noobs (like me). Awesome performance, these guys are special. Try the amazing "time signature shifts" party that is "Teacher, Teacher" official video, it´s a masterpiece!

I know that one! Love me some Leprous! Have only done one reaction to them on my channel though. Bilateral was the first album I heard a few years back. Thanks!

She just uses backing tracks to backing vocals all the rest is her. Strandkorb fest 2020 you can check her vocals in a cleaner way, just delay/reverb

[@horsehollerer]

Love your reactions … so many great insights … one thing I pity you for tho, a big part of Jinjer’s appeal to me is the impact of the transitions, and because you have such a good musical ear you stop at every single one. … and kinda ruin them! So I can only imagine what it looks like when you listen again off camera without stopping and see what you’ve been missing. 🤣 Cheers, and don’t stop stopping btw!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Haha, I get your point! Usually I can predict (9 times out of ten, let's say) when a musical phrase or section is nearing it's end and so you're probably find I pause at the those moments a lot as I'm actually trying to get a word about the section before the next one starts. But you're right in that on repeated listens I get more out of it. You should check out my Wallflowers Jinjer series. I listened to all of the songs off that album in their entirety first and then did the analysis on the 2nd run through. I also did the album in order apart from one or two singles that came out before the album, I think! It's been a while!

[@horsehollerer]

@@JWSoundworks2 LOL that’s both hilarious and a little sad. Thank you, I will def check out the wallflower series. That’s such a dark heavy record! I have it on vinyl and I need to get better acquainted with it. I dropped way too much cash on the micro EP at the same time as I got wallflower and so I just played micro to death. Because perennial, teacher, ape etc! Cheers!

Great reaction. I see you've done a reaction to Steve Vai. If you like guitarists you should really check out Jeff Healey. An amazing talent that BB King once called the best he's ever heard.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Hi Michael, thanks for the comments. The Steve Vai video I have there is me playing one of his songs not a reaction video. I know Jeff Healey, my dad had a couple of his albums growing up. Pretty sure he was in Road House movie and I love the live performance of See The Light that was recorded in 1988. That is one of the best guitar performances I've ever seen. Good taste, man. Please check out my Vai performance if you're into guitar playing 😊

[@michaeltabor4176]

@@JWSoundworks2 oh okay. I just saw the thumbnail. I will definitely check that out. I had The Good Fortune to see Steve Vai along with Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson for one of the G3 tours. Amazing talents all around

[@JWSoundworks2]

@@michaeltabor4176 that's class! I had that on VHS back in the day, and that was my introduction to Eric Johnson! Seen Vai live several years ago but never Satriani. I seen recently that Mike Keneally is still putting out solo stuff too, recall him being Vai's second guitar/keyboardist in the original G3 lineup.

I think you might like to know that you can use your cursor keys to skip back and forward in five second increments.

Lol, good call. I've a terrible memory for shortcuts. I'm the same when using Logic and Final Cut. I'm a damn mouse fiend.

[@eckligt]

@@JWSoundworks2 Learning about shortcuts made my life so much easier. But all you really need to remember is left-arrow, right-arrow and space. Good luck with your channel, which seems to be a refreshing take on the reaction genre. I appreciate the detailed and knowledgable insights. Are you planning on doing a lot of different musical styles, or to focus on metal and metal-adjacent? Greetings from Norway.

[@JWSoundworks2]

@@eckligt thank you. I'm doing various styles already. And intend on doing more. Some of the previous reactions on my channel range from Tori Amos to Bliss to Gentle Giant to Whitney Houston so if you're into different styles you may find some more of interest. 👍

[@basboerboom9328]

I think those harmonics on the vocals are just from the delays. Maybe she purposely wrote the melody and delay to get a specific harmony.
