[@dtdthesloth9575]

Little fun fact for you: The spoken word part, on the album version, is done by the vocalist from a band called Sikth Named Mikee Goodman. However, Spencer has his own version he can do in the live versions which is also pretty deep and growly just like the recording. Sikth was a big influence on many of the members of Periphery including spencer so that collaboration was very special for them.

[@DrAgNZRX]

I would have never heard of SikTh if not for Periphery. Such a great band once you get into their rhythm.

[@Bill-Door]

First time listening to this song and I was thinking, these guys must have been influenced by Sikth, then at 18 minutes in "these guys are REALLY influenced by sikth" then at 18:30 "either these guys got Mikee to guest on this song or someones gonna get sued". It's weird to think that weird little band I saw supporting mad capsule markets in 2002 ended up influencing so many bands

[@ShonnDaylee]

I adore Sikth. I'm a sucker for groups with multiple lead vocalists.

[@Youshallbeeatenbyme]

Sikth doesn't get the recognition they deserve when it comes to influencing a shit tonne metal bands. And as well along with Meshuggah, Sikth was one of the influences of the djent sound.

[@paramourcat]

In reference to your comment at 32:46, at the very end of the song Satellites, the closing song on this album, there is indeed a message from the band to the audience. Satellites is another must from this album. In my opinion, it's Spencer's finest vocal work

[@CrazybassistGaming]

I don't think that was meant for the audience in general. It was just a way to direct something at the people who leaked this album a week before release. If you find a copy that doesn't have that message, it's an illegal copy or a pre-released version.

Hit me with that “TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios)” reaction! You’ll probably love it

[@hailstone.]

Honestly, even though I personally like their heavier albums like “one” and “Polaris” a little more than “altered state”... Altered state is THE album to start with for a new listener in my opinion. It will get you hooked looking for more, at least it did for me. Interesting note ab the singers: Altered state has a separate singer from their other albums. Both singers are great in their own ways, much like each of their albums as overall sonic pieces of work, respectively, they are each pretty unique from one another, yet still tremendous! Tbh, I didn’t vibe with them too much at first, but now I literally don’t skip any of their songs when they come on shuffle. This is definitely one of those bands where their most popular songs aren’t my favorite, but I still love all of their music, if that makes sense lol. Thanks for reading. Cheers!

[@hailstone.]

Also I know it’s definitely a longshot buttt.. I’d definitely watch every single video, if you decomposed their entire discography. If you did this, I’d recommend doing a few songs together, as many of them flow together seamlessly. 👍

[@codynelson-ross3497]

If you want know more about the band, they have released a few documentaries focused on their respective album. I think you would find the HAIL STAN documentary the most interesting as they talk about working with live studio musicians like the string and choir in reptile. Somewhere in one of those videos is Misha geeking out over his synths and playing around with pads and such.

[@escher2112]

Geebz - if this is your thing.... you need to check out their double album. Juggernaut Alpha / Omega. That is a complete journey. Super dark, super emotive... hard to listen to at times, but redemptive in the end. Basically its the journey of a cult member from the time of a child, through adulthood - realizing its wrong, trying to break away, being damned to hell, clawing his way back to punish the evil leaders and eventually being "reborn/redeemed". Its probably my all time favorite prog metal album. Not saying you should react to it - but you will enjoy it for the journey... but be prepared - it is super dark in places. ....... Made it to the end - Reptile AWWWRIGHT!!!!

[@ZolFox]

It simply can’t. Even reaction channels with 1mil+ subs who especially focus on music will never be able to monetize their channels cuz every single video of his gets copyright striked, which isn’t a penalty or anything, it just means that the label is now allowed to place ads and collect that revenue. It even happens to my channel and I have less than 200 subs and I’m covering the songs on guitar, playing over them at a pretty loud volume and sometimes even adding my own parts for songs that for example have no guitar riffs in the verse or something and I still get claimed. So we (this channel and mine) can never monetize with the use of Adsense or any mid-video ads. But yes, he should have a silver KZbin Play button by now and it’s fucked up that he doesn’t. KZbin pretty much sucks balls. Oh he is getting to the point where he can get sponsored, like by Raid Shadow Legends...I know that everyone reading this has seen a video sponsored by them lol.

19:27 That "oof" face is my reaction everytime I hear that part.

[@cypher16x75]

Native Construct- Mute Between the Buried and Me- Disease, Injury, Madness Mastodon- The Czar Some more great long songs that I think you’d appreciate! Love the content man!!

[@sylvestercalzone1003]

Getting to see this full song played live and while being in the photo pit was one of the most visceral and amazing experiences I’ve ever had at a concert.

[@revanchistz]

REPTILE AWWWRIGHT! Glad you got through this song and genuinely enjoyed it

[@gabrielbuchanan8156]

bruh....youre an absolute hoot to watch! and I totally respect your opinion/background. your energy and willingness to dissect so many genres is much appreciated. I'm a recently turned 50 prof rocker myself. it's so funny to me that the older I get, the heavier and crunchie and more downtuned I get.

[@hailstone.]

Great choice man love the channel

[@ryd21]

I come back and watch this video about once a week 😄 I genuinely feel this song is one of the most incredible pieces of music ever composed and would just love to see so many more people of music composition knowledge hear it for the first time and share the amazement. As said by many others, I would love to see you react to "satellites" which is ALMOST as good as this

[@seancameronrooker4923]

Happy to know I'm not the only one that does this haha. agreed on everything else you said too.

This song live with the guys up there and lights blaring to the outro chuggs, is pure cannonballs

[@PinkMyr]

REPTILE, AWWWRIGGHTTT Love this song, love this band. So happy I got to see them live a few years ago. They played with Animals as Leaders and Dillinger Escape Plan, was an epic show. I imagine Devin Townsend would have something similar to this. Hes got a huuuuge library of work. Daily recommendation to check out Dillinger Escape Plan's song: Farewell, Mona Lisa ;)

[@grizzlywarehouse7138]

So cool you got Misha commenting on your reaction to his/his band’s song! Too cool! Keep up the good work Geebz!

[@cheekz7371]

REPTILE! AWWWRIGHT! So pumped you enjoyed it!

[@dainarose8272]

Reptile, Awww Right! Such an incredible track. Before watching you, I never really realized that Periphery's composition/arrangements is one of my favorite aspects of their music.

[@gonzoe123]

It's interesting that you mentioned "theory". The guys in Periphery have commented several times that they do not know theory. They know chord shapes, voicings, and arrangements. They write what feels good and sounds epic.

[@Groovejourney]

Chord shapes, voicings, and arrangements are all music theory. It's similar to saying that you don't know grammar, you just know verbs and nouns.

[@willpianista]

nahh c'mon. Let's not do a scarecrow over music theory!

[@Jefftarnish]

That's more Misha I remember hearing in an interview once he's not super fluent in theory.

[@gonzoe123]

@@Jefftarnish Misha, Mark, and Jake have all commented about not knowing or practicing music theory

[@MrZReeves]

@@Jefftarnish Yeah but he means compared to Beethoven.

[@Creaturish]

Reptile Awwwright! So glad to see you reacted to this one, this song is a masterpiece in my opinion. It's awesome to see you so into it!

[@buralex3176]

I think you should listen to Periphery -- Absolomb Beautiful song, great journey as well. Thanks for your reactions! It's really nice to see a man not just headbanging and stuff, but also analysing and decomposing the music, giving a deep personal reaction. Your videos are inspiring in a way. Keep it up, Geebz!

[@StevenKrug]

My favorite Periphery song, hands down.

[@NiklasMeads]

@@StevenKrug Same! I love that song so much

[@caseykins__]

Rick Beato’s breakdown of Absolomb is my favorite video on this entire platform.

[@chrisp.14]

I saw them at the end of 2019 in Berlin and they opened with this song. And oh my. Yes, they are able to reproduce their fantastic songs. And Spencer is a beast.

[@sawdust07]

it would be really cool if you could check out "A Night On the Town" by The Dear Hunter, they're a progressive rock band that incorporate lots of orchestral elements into their music and that particular song showcases their versatility and great compositional skills. also it's a 9 minute track so it's a bit of a journey itself.

[@JohnSmith-fl4bj]

for sure, The Dear Hunter are worth checking out

[@darkphoenix2]

I've thought about recommending TDH, seems like a perfect fit

[@Shenaniman]

Geebz this video introduced me to what is now my favorite band. Many thanks!

[@TheLegendofGumby]

Ughh I’m so geigh for this song it’s unreal. It’s my go to song for when I effeminately march on a treadmill. Such a kids bop!

[@dereklawless9915]

This reads like it’s from one of those sub 70 iq mid 40 year olds who only likes tool or something.. hardcore comment bro, show those “kids”👍

"geigh"? "effeminately"? Xuxifneif?

[@ulfingvar1]

A brilliant composition from a great, great band!!!!!

[@nsjohn130]

I’ve always agreed- Periphery needs to headline a musical written around Juggernaut or Reptile.

[@HauntedShoresDC]

This was so entertaining to watch! Thank you for the kind words :)

[@danielseale9636]

Please, please, please react to ERRA-Dementia. It's another Epic piece like this. I've listened to it more times to count and it never gets old

[@cjh-bk4pn]

any ERRA from impulse or Augment

[@yashchavan9268]

I'm so sad for the lack of reactions/reviews for dementia. I hope he reacts to it

Incredible song. Great suggestion

[@lucasanastassiou2241]

[@samanthac323]

still hoping for you to check out The Dillinger Escape Plan - Farewell, Mona Lisa

[@camhorejs]

@@JD_13 I always recommend One of us is the killer as a first exposure to Dillinger. It slaps but it’s not a sledgehammer to the side of the head like some of their other songs! Haha

[@camhorejs]

@@JD_13 Dillinger is one of my favorite bands, but they are also one of the least accessible bands to introduce people to! Lol

[@camhorejs]

@@JD_13 I remember reading a review for Miss Machine in Decibel magazine, and Came across it in a listening station at my local record store. I had no idea how to process the noises going into my ears. It made an impression though!

[@tomdoesntplaymusic]

that blues lick caught me big time the first time i listened.

[@albert3466]

I highly recommend Periphery- Garden in the Bones :)

[@Aaron-ui9tj]

Hey! Thanks for checking this track out. Being in my thirties now I sort of figured finding new “favorite” songs was a thing of the past. I bought this album when it released, and I was totally blown away!

[@trowabarton222]

Such an epic song. You would love Between the Buried and Me - Extremophile Elite (Live)

[@gokepsgo]

Was nice hangin with a cup of coffee and hearing a simpler but deep reaction to amazing music. Loved it, keep em coming!

[@nathanlempar4283]

Hell yes!

Speaking of intervals..have you listened to the band Intervals? Lol would LOVE to see you check out their song Fable!

[@ImCannibalOfficial]

I have that thought every time he says intervals

[@zeal2407]

I'm so glad I got to see them live before the pandemic. They opened with this song and it was amazing

[@dodgrblu]

Reptile awwwright! "I'm havin a blast" if you want this to continue, do Have a Blast! ;) featuring Guthrie Govan! Also Scarlet, their catchiest song. As interesting as these more elaborate compositions are, I find that the most memorable Periphery songs are the shorter catchier ones like Make Total Destroy and Marigold (and my 2 suggestions), and they are the ones I play again, unfortunately it's a short list.

[@mikolajorzechowski2423]

oh to hear this song for the first time again. what an experience
