New KNOCKED LOOSE is INSANE! - “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” Review

Album Review/Reaction - 'You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To'
Join me on my JOURNEY of experiencing this BRAND NEW ALBUM from Knocked Loose - "You won't go before you're supposed to". What an incredible production of music. Quite frankly I think this will sit towards the top for Album Of The Year, at least for me. I have been listening to Knocked Loose since 2017 and it's been really enjoyable to hear them refine and define their sound! I hope you enjoy this Reaction/Review :) I have lots of videos planned for the future so please consider subscribing!

[@detonationcruster]

[Outro] "Why'd you leave?" "I feel like I'vе failed."

[@chonkbadonk]

It's "So it felt like I failed?"

[@detonationcruster]

Sit & Mourn and Take Me Home are my 2 favorites on this album... but the whole album is a masterpiece in my opinion.

[@iaamwaimanse]

YES.

[@rottenamiigo9443]

The fake out blue balls ending breakdown in sit and mourn… Jesus H Christ phenomenal.

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Lord knows that got my ass hahaha

[@JesseDenney49]

Big saaaame

[@MegaLaban12345]

The vocal delivery on take me home is absolutely epic

[@FiftyHandycap]

The St. Anger snare coming back around full circle in the best way is one of my favorite things ever

[@Joose]

It's so much better than St. Anger's snare though.

[@DarkMarkGaming94]

Max from Tallah been using a similar snare for the last 2 albums. Fits this style of hardcore/metalcore so well

[@TheBleZZt]

yo great vid. Brian mentioned in the Downbeat Podcast that he lost a childhood friend to a drunk driver and i think alot of the lyric focus around the grief around that. also pretty much all of "A tear in the fabric of time" is about that

[@iancraig5415]

Tear in the fabric of life is about exactly what happens in the animated video

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Thanks!! I figured there had to have been a loss, very sad :/

[@OhWord3]

yeah that riff in Slaughterhouse 2 with Bryan’s vocals matching the run is incredible

[@epicvee]

had to comment after you said "i wanna see this shit live" I saw them last week of May and holy shit was it awesome. brought my cousin who had never been to a concert before... lol he said it was the best time he's ever had. the entire place was a mosh pit. gotta love Bryan man

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

So jealous!!! I bet your friend had a blast hahaha

[@cj_johnson9915]

I loved these reactions to this record so much, it felt so real =]

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Thank you for watching :)

[@iaamwaimanse]

i'm IN LOVE with how the "dark" catches the lyricist at the end of the song in the middle of the "take me home" and then it's just the oppressive sounds of the guitar as if "dark" surrounds him cinematographic masterpiece

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Take me home is a song didn't really catch my attention at first but you're so right. It really is amazing.

[@Uh-ll4ri]

a lot of Bryan's earlier stuff with knocked loose touches on the overdose he had at a party and how that impacted him and im just guessing but i imagine that could be what hes alluding too with take me home

[@Snakeplisskin440]

We saw them live almost a week ago. It was insane. They've refined their live sound so much. I heard later that there was a mosh pit on the upper balcony at the venue, which is kind of hilarious because it's basically just seats lol. "I never gave a fuck." Followed by the crunchy riff in Don't Reach for Me gets me every time. It's probably my favorite song and Blinding Faith. I think I recall in an interview with Isaac that they're like, layering the guitars in a way to create that "hell tone" they call it. It's so cool what we can do with technology now. I love this album so much. I want to see them live again. Also they're undeniably influenced a bit by Gojira. The pick scrapes, that outro of Sit and Mourn and the outro of The Calm that Keeps me Awake (Explosia like)

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

I love the idea of a mosh pit in the top of the venue hahaa that's just how hardcore they are. Also I feel the same about way but about that 3:4 poly rhythm riff in Blinding Faith, absolutley makes me want to me mosh

[@timonbaumann3438]

I loooove the calm but heavy mix in the outro I first heard it on their closure "permanent" for the "a tear in the fabric of life " Ep ,its so sick 🤘🏻

[@22theryno]

The ending to “The Calm That Keeps You Awake” is surprisingly what I listen to fall asleep 😴😤

[@patfix]

Love a good chug-mantra.

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Might be one of my favorite parts of the album tbh

[@damiendelvallee7256]

This "woh" before the outro 😂

[@massivegamer5200]

This record is really good and your reaction was awesome keep up the great work and that’s cool you got to meet zelli

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Thank you so much! It was crazy meeting him, just on the side of the road haha

[@Akrostix]

30:33 other favorite songs of mine that use that beat are "YDG" - Of Mice and Men & "Echoes" - Tides of Man. Idk what it is about that beat but its so FUCKIN hype

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Any sort of 'gallop' beat like that gets me going hahaha

[@joaogui0126]

26:21 because it is! Brain talked about that in an interview

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Amazing hahaha

[@Wollestar]

On the lyrics. I have heard this album around 100 times now, I still only know the easier to understand lyrics😅. So basically a word here or there. But I feel like I could play the drum parts by now 😁. In the past, lyrics were the most important part for me. Nowadays I don´t even bother to read them anymore. The vocals are just like another instrument and I also don´t question which notes the guitarists and bassist are playing.

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Sometimes I hyper fixate on different instruments. Since I'm a drummer and Vocalist I'm inclined to pay attention to those, and I like learning lyrics just to sing/scream along but I get what you're saying haha

[@Wollestar]

@Reaper_Queen_Music yeah, I try to play the drums as well, but not very long as of yet. That is probably why I focus on them a lot, too. But I just noticed I should have added that I understand the drummer of Knocked Loose, not knowing the lyrics 😁.

[@xyoutubearchivex]

Also the end of Take me home makes me think specifically of The Chariot, and its well earned

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

The Chariot?

[@xyoutubearchivex]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6fFapJ3bcR7kNEsi=p7ufo5wJExFe_8co Chaotic, and then the end is a sermon clip. Amazing band and im so mad i missed their farewell tour

[@jrlx86]

​​@@Reaper_Queen_Musicalso check out Norma Jean - Bless The Martyr and Kiss the Child. The vocalist went on to form The Chariot which are also awesome

[@willduron3317]

Welcome back! It’s been a while!

[@OkHenrique]

album of the year with kamasi new album

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

I haven't heard of kamasi, I'll check them out

[@baseballtigar]

The witcher books in the background tho

[@Its.me20022]

Knocked Loose goes absolutely crazy live

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

I saw them at Blue Ridge '22 and '23 both times they killed it

[@_RJ_Z]

Yeah, this is album of the year… easy👌🏼 Lyrics and tone is fantastic!

[@corduroy3219]

new boundaries album got it beat IMO

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

I'll have to give that a listen :)

[@corduroy3219]

@@Reaper_Queen_Music you won’t regret it. Reply what you think when you do! It’s like everything great about 2000s metalcore with hard hitting lyrics and some of the hardest breakdown callouts ever

[@MyNamesRevenge]

i don't think i've ever gone to a concert not anxious so i get it

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Glad I'm not alone 🥲For me I think part of it is always wanting to get up close to the stage.

[@xyoutubearchivex]

Also, gotta ask, the figure at the end of the shelf behind you, who is that? Reminds me of the Burned Man Joshua Graham from Fallout New Vegas

[@misterscarisma]

You mean Ghostface from Scream?

[@xyoutubearchivex]

@@misterscarisma Opposite side

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

It's Tengen Uzui from Demon Slayer eating a rice cake :)

[@xyoutubearchivex]

Hell yeah, reminds me of my fav character from fallout new vegas! Awesome!

[@wideopenwounds]

I can’t get enough of watching people react to this album. The two punch combo of take me home & slaughterhouse 2 is NASTY.

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

It's just SO GOOD

[@garsto9718]

Poppy's joining Knocked Loose right? Right? RIGHT!?

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Pleaseeee 😭

[@rottenamiigo9443]

This whole record is phenomenal but sit and mourn by god. Fuck it. this whole album not a skippable song. First listen I thought I liked laugh tracks more. No, this album takes Laugh tracks lunch money.

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Right you are haha

[@TrueBlueAndrew]

Definitely not a late upload

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Lol

[@sicboi80]

"I feel like i've failed"

[@xyoutubearchivex]

The only comparable album is A Tear In The Fabric Of Life. So good

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

I haven't heard of this, I'll check it out!

[@SwingerPeppa]

DEMBOW beat ! not rgton

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

I used to work with women from mexico, the dominican republic, and colobmia. They played music with this beat (1 a 2 +) and they described it to me a reggaeton.

[@Whopperwhopper420]

Their weakest release yet. In my opinion.

[@cosmicangellgrrll]

I think so too honestly, something doesn't stick as well. That split EP is peak though

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

No hate, just genuiley curious why you think so

[@Whopperwhopper420]

@Reaper_Queen_Music Oh, no worries. I just think it's because the mixing on this record makes every song sound similar. Outside of the singles, sit and mourn is the only stand-out track. A Different Shade of Blue and A Tear in the fabric of life had amazing atmosphere and memorable riffs. If you listen to those records in full then hear the new one, it feels like they spent more time on the older songs. I think they went a little too experimental for my taste on this newer record. I also feel like they tried too hard to go viral rather than write a cohesive front to back album if that makes sense? I was kinda hoping their new release was more in line with the "upon loss" singles as well. Those 2 songs are better than their whole new album. Regardless, its doing great numbers, so I'm happy for them.

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

@@Whopperwhopper420 I can see what you’re saying. I loved the upon loss singles so I was very hype to get new music but I haven’t been drawn back to any songs in particular like I did with those releases.

[@adrianblanchard416]

Guilty pleasure of watching reaction channels, don't subscribe to many, but I did to yours 🙃

[@Reaper_Queen_Music]

Thank you sm!! :)
