Producer Reacts to Måneskin album | RUSH!

[@eagzohio1969]

Maneskin - to me - restores my faith in the future of rock n roll. The band has described their sound as old school rock re-imagined in the modern world (paraphrasing) - but that is exactly what i get from them. And the elements of funk to the sound are also refreshing. The production value of this album in particular blows me away. i've always maintained that recorded music is like adding a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Live music is full by nature - you have volume, presence, background noise of the crowd - no added effects are truly necessary. But to recreate that in the studio, the production requires filler so that a song doesn't lag or experience dead spaces. This album is masterful in that respect. Where there are dead spots - they complement the song. It's a brilliant piece of work.

[@fragel_b9299]

AMEN AMEN AMEN. studio songs with modern beats are great too but they don't hit as hard as old school rock songs bc u can really hear the instruments through ur soul damiano is a great songwriter and vic, Thomas, ethan are awesome band members

What makes “The Loneliest” better is that they played it as their encore on tour, and it started with Thomas doing a guitar solo on stage with a single spotlight for like 10 minutes. So magical.

I am absolutely over the moon with this album. I’ve been stoked about Maneskin since the very moment I heard them and watched them perform. PLEASE keep playing them! They need to have all the exposure they can get. Believe it or not I am a 70 year old grandma and this is exactly what I want to hear. I love that they refuse to be changed or influenced to go mainstream! I love that they stay true to to themselves and people that their panties in a bunch over their language, dress style and erotic interactions need to get over themselves it is fucking 2023…you go guys put it out there and bring up to the forefront because this is what’s happening out there.

Tom Morello only featured Gossip. The great and emotional solo in The loneliest is 100% Thomas Raggi the guitar player. The Italian songs, Cool Kids (great arrangement) as well as the loneliest has been produced by their Italian manager and probably made for Teatro d'ira volume 2. Even the USA production did a great job, Il dono della vita is for me the best and complex song of this amazing album. A real musical gift from Maneskin. ❤ Thanks I enjoyed a lot you reaction. Always on point.

[@annarae2396]

I have seen that also Il Dono della Vita was originally intended for Vol. II.

I love your album reaction. When I saw the band in the final of the Eurovision competition, I said to my daughter, they're going to have a world career. That was clear to any viewer who loves music. the joy with which you discuss the album is contagious. Greetings from Hamburg/Germany

[@lilianajoy]

the reason to why there's a split opinion on this album is because a lot of their older fans miss when they used to do most of their songs in Italian. Their songs in Italian were so gorgeous, the instrumentals and lyrics were phenomenal. Now that they've got a lot more English-speaking fans, they are doing a lot more English songs, and less Italian ones. To me, their English songs are beautiful, but they're missing something that the Italian ones have. I will always love them, even if they only do English songs in the future. However, their Italian songs are what made me fall in love with them, like "Torna a casa" and "Coraline". To me, their Italian songs will always be special because I feel like there's a deeper meaning to them. I still however love the RUSH album, I even went and saw them in concert a few days ago, and I saw them last year in 2022 as well. They truly are a beautiful band all round and will always have a special place in my heart.

[@giordanaorban]

It is so refreshing & cool to see you reacting to Maneskin’s new album like this. Many so called Italian fans have said the nastiest things about wanting to revoke their citizenship bc they’re not dropping a full album in Italian. I’m Italian and hate the way we treat our own artists. Mexico and the US tend to embrace them so much more kindly, and Maneskin is special. They’ve always sung in English as well. Damiano has said it’s a new challenge for him, sound they’ve captured in rush is years above them. This whole album just felt so major and I just know those live performances will be a whole experience.

[@sandraperlstein79]

I think the comments come from the fact that the on the first two albums especially the second there were more songs in Italian. On this album it's the opposite.

[@ste7738]

Lovely comment! Unfortunately is cultural in Italy they struggle in changing anything really. Critics and nastiness teaching them every day in the Italian TV and children learn that way too.

[@whatsupclouds]

@@sandraperlstein79 From the start, Damiano has covered some songs in English. Far before Beggin. They’ve been very transparent from the start when they went to record in the US that it would be an album that’s mainly in English bc Damiano said it’s a new challenge for him to tackle as he still struggles writing in English more. Andrea Bocelli and Laura Pausini have also done this in their career. 🫶🏼

Hi Blake, here for a second watch of your reaction, just after the release of five extra songs on the extended album.

[@lawrencedreams]

@@sushmitaupreti4076 nothing against them, as an Italian musician I’m also happy they represent the genre worldwide. But I wouldn’t call them “a breath of fresh air”. This album is not even that original sounding or experimental tbh, I like his voice and some of the collabs but it’s basic pop rock with some old influences at the end of the day. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that. I see why they have their appeal. They have good presence and energy and u can easily connect with the grooves. But if u really wanna listen to someone who’s pushing the envelope with rock and heavy music that’s not the case… try bmth for example, they always innovated and been trendsetter for rock and metal but still maintained a distintive and original sound. They experimented with all genres from deathcore to pop and edm and even made mainstream pop artists like Ed Sheeran and Halsey get into metal lol. Or even Bad Omens, Cage the Elephant, Dirty Honey, Polyphia, Muse…

I agree it could have been more cohesive although we all know they had to cater for a very broad range of tastes (Italian, Hard Rock, Pop rock etc...) so that's why this decision to put all sorts in, still looking at every song individually they are singles in their own rights, bangers with Gasoline leading for me!

I first heard of Maneskin mere days before they did a show in near me. I didn't go, and I regret it so effing much.

This band hit me like an absolute ton of bricks, and I can't get enough of them right now. Even their debut had all the swagger in the world, but Rush! is kind of Sgt.

Thank you Blake. Finally someone in USA giving this album the praise it deserves. Other reactors have talked shit about this album. Someone fiving 3/5 or 6,5/10. Either they are deaf or stupid. You cannot deny their capability to write wonderful songs and playing the instruments to deliver them perfectly in studio and on stage. The lyrics of Damiano and his incredible voice. The skills of Victoria and Thomas. The precise drums of Ethan who is like a swiss clock in the beat. Those who don't praise this album should be ashamed of themselves. I hope it will be top 3 in US and worldwide, but unfortunately it will be difficult because of the bad commercial music that most of people are used to listen. Ciao from Italy. PS: Gasoline is a song already performed in 2022, after the start of the war in Ukraine. The song is dedicated to Ukraine and against Putin (Gasoline is referring to gas, petrol that Putin was selling to Europe). Damiano was also shouting fu*k Putin many times after singing this song in various concerts and festivals. Ukrainians love this song and praise Damiano for it and for the love he showed to Ukrainian people. Finally, the guitar solo in The Loneliest is by Thomas. For Gossip the first guitar solo is from Thomas, the second from Tom Morello who appears also in the music video as the security guard.

[@brainstorm0203]

Waaaaaaait a minute! The first solo is Thomas? What???!!! That’s insane!

[@Paolo3480]

@@brainstorm0203 Yes. Tom plays the second when he is playing also the guitar in the video. If you notice first he is dressed differently when he is doing the security guard, with a black jacket. Then when he plays the guitar he has a brown jacket. The 26th Måneskin and Tom Morello will be playing live Gossip and the Jimmy Fallon's.

[@brainstorm0203]

@@Paolo3480 I’m confused. How is the color of the jacket related to who is playing the guitar part? I’m lost

[@Paolo3480]

@@brainstorm0203 Tom Morello when he is doing the part of the security guard is dressed all in black/dark grey. When he grabs the guitar to play the second guitar solo changes his dress to be a guitarist and has a brown jacket filled with stamps/signs.

[@tehlion7430]

i'm fairly certain the first solo in gossip is not thomas, the tone and style is exactly like tom morello. even when thomas has used an octave pedal (the loneliest) his guitar tone is different

Thank you, your analysis is very rousing, enthralling and professional! It's been a pleasure listening to it!

[@pvpablovidal]

Great reaction for a great album I feel full of good energy. I enjoy it all. The power of music!!! Thank you. CIAO.

[@satkafakta]

YASSS!! THANK YOU for this reaction!! I've been coming to your channel every day several times waiting for this video. Amazing and the album is so freakn amazing.

[@alexandrae7755]

You are my favourite KZbinr/streamer from now on… I never found anyone with the EXACT same feeling about Måneskin, THANK YOU 🥹

[@alexandrae7755]

Oh and never have I ever actually watched such a long video, I was as excited as you 👀

[@jenniferlewis8954]

Hi! Loved loved loved your reaction!! I was so excited to have you react and your reaction was everything! I love Manaskin and everything they do! I’ve listened to this album non stop since it dropped. Thank you ❤

[@lilise3965]

This is not an album but a full buffet, a medieval reception, a pantagruelic dinner, a wedding banquet. I would have left out a few songs honestly, the food is good but there's too much of it. Still, it will be something for their fans to feast on for some time.

[@vxlnxrxblx]

I love the analogy 😂

[@zacksit5776]

But the very idea of a buffet (btw I love all your analogies) is to have a range of choices to please the palate of all the guests. So, if you can choose and pick, you can't really say that there's too much of it.

[@susanlovendahl9803]

Awesome review! I love this. How sweet to hear some good rock again.

[@LucaScavolini]

Thank you Blake for your reaction for this album. Ciao from Italy ;)

[@teodoragabrovska7253]

Thank you soоо much Blake!! Finally, to face an objective, well-intentioned and extremely professional opinion. Argued, emotional, detailed. I really appreciate and follow your reactions, because they are exceptional and the only ones that are precise, without malice and ugly qualifications, such as I have seen from Italians. Thanks and keep going because I need it. Greetings and good luck with your endeavors, which I believe will be successful.💜

[@solidsnake1069]

Teodora Gabrovska If they were Americans or British, these Italians who speak ill of Maneskin would say that they are phenomena. A lot of envy in Italy unfortunately. 🤦

[@leno_o17]

​​@@solidsnake1069 true. There's nothing more to this really. For something to be objective, there must be randomisation of the group, meaning that the effect must be similar among different kinds of people. If something, like in this case- the hate and critic, comes vastly from one country, it means there's nothing objective about it. Therefore it's not worth any attention.

[@darcelburkhalter9617]

Never heard this group before but love it.

[@peterheck2728]

Well, you can practically check any of their songs - they almost never miss. Almost all of their Italian songs have youtube videos with English translations - but the best of these channels are "ItsValeria" and "LaFabi". In fact another great listen/live performance is LaFabi's "La Paura dell'buio" (Fear of the Dark) - which has a magical acapella ending.

[@brainstorm0203]

One of my faves! Torna a Casa & La Paura. Now w Mark Chapman, 3 songs I can never stop until they end.

[@francescaabate3113]

Try and Listen to Morirò da re, Vent’anni, In nome del padre

[@stormeygroenhuijzen319]

I had the exact same reaction to Gasoline, it's a masterpiece!! As is the whole album.

[@yeoxxsangie]

Hi! Don't know if you noticed but Måneskin just released a deluxe version of rush with five new songs. I would love to see your reaction

[@gaelle4328]

Gasoline is based on the sound of artillery fire… they are called artillery organs (as in the music instrument organ) for a reason. They have made music of the sounds of war and turned it on Putin.

[@prusila_]

Il Dono Della Vita just gets me every time. If they did a full album in Italian with more emotional guitar ballads like this please.

[@jasbri90]

Thanks Blake great video as always! Great album! Maneskin...amazing!!!!

[@mariaiannuccillo4699]

Thankyou very very much for giving them all the credits deserved!!! The album is absolutely Fantastic and even who never have heard of them before will not be disappointed buying it!! The guitar solo in The Loneliest is by Thomas, Morello appears just in Gossip! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🇮🇹

[@MissElaine286]

I LOVED every single one of reactions and I LOVE that someone is so happy and passionate about their songs, I always wonder how do people only listen and not react like this 😂🤞

[@fanciot]

an underrated album, it has a texture that is not easy to 'see' on first listen because it has many catchy riffs and a dragging rhythm, and many people confuse easy listening with ease in execution and design. On the contrary, it is a very sophisticated album in every little detail or choice of arrangement and variety of sounds and styles

[@danyelena9782]

I love the album...fav tracks: il dono della vita, baby said, feel, dont wanna sleep and the loneliest...damiano is a vocal master,.such a versatile voice, so strong and distinct, he can rap and also can belt out the hardest notes
