I really like the the small shifts between music genres with each new song, memes aside, the instrumentals fucking slay.

[@annestella858]

This isn't a meme it's the most legendary song to be released to mankind

[@shodai2054]

Seriously. The break and guitar solo fuckin slap

[@tanku368]

Everything about this song from the vocals to the instrumental is incredible and even though the lyrics are about killer cummy robots the entire time, they're actually really clever. I really appreciate all the musical talent here from each and every one of you guys. I cant wait to hear the next song you come out with!

[@GPAKOS]

As a person that has never been too much into music, i can finnaly say i found the band, that each time someone asks me "what is your favorite band" , i can asnwer THE GENTLE MEN unironicaly. I love the music you guys create, i love the themes, i found joy and laugh in the lyrics and i am gratefull to be part of this jounrey so early!

[@thegentlemen9616]

That’s great to hear!

[@Alaskanman]

How can someone not be into music? Music is like the universal language.

[@Sg.Oddball]

Can't wait for new songs, The songs are absolute bangers

[@matin2825]

2:00 damn I fuckin love this main synth line, rly cool. Insane production

[@XDBenjy]

I hate that Charlie says his voice is shitty, he sounds like a almost pro metalcore vocalist

[@RobotHau5]

Usually its because the artist always criticizes their own work, because they know where they personally want to / could improve. I'll be honest tho, I literally thought he hired a vocalist till I saw the credits lol I was surprised it was him.

[@richardmartin3908]

Charlie fucking sings it?? My head is gonna fucking explode, thats amazing

[@dutch_vii]

Wait the screams are done by someone else right? If not charlie just got more respect from me than i can give

[@SKULLEDBUICK]

@@dutch_vii Nah. So when it comes to cleans, him & Troy usually share vocal duties. You can tell who's who, most of the time. But when it comes to all the harsh vocals, that's entirely Charlie. In fact, I actually think Troy said he can't even growl, I believe it might've been in their Q&A video. So, that'd rule him out. But yeah, the more you hear the growls, the more you can tell it's Charlie. At least for me.

[@dutch_vii]

@@SKULLEDBUICK Damn, my guy sounds like a proffesional

[@OGM_OriginalGameMusic]

To be fair you're tracks are amazing. The lyrics are hilarious but also super catchy. Charlie's vocals are very deftones but abit more 'core sounding. Your music is very nu/alt metal with modern influences and to top all that off you fuse elements of other genres flawlessly. It has everything im looking for. That said well fucking done

[@Oprea_Cristian]

Holy Jesus! You can't believe how much this video helped me understand mixing modern metal. THANK YOU!

[@SakowskiStudios]

Troy you are a master of music! When I first heard this I was like fuck yes! So good.

[@thegentlemen9616]

Thanks man!

[@israelvasquez7801]

Great mixer, guitarist, and a drummer?! I dig it. I’m interested to know you guitar set up, I’m always looking for ways to improve or learn about tone.

[@thegentlemen9616]

Israel Vasquez thanks! I normally use an amp, Splawn Pro Mod into a boss tube amp expander. But for this I used a Kemper. Troy.

[@mqo1]

you could say it's the song in a *nut* shell

[@matthfu]

My favorite song along with 2019 guy! Ive been listening since 2019 guy and i just found this video existed...Excited to watch my from my favorite band!

[@KaiserSquirrelz]

The Instrumentals on this are masterful, it gives of awesome sci-fi and metal vibes i never thought could be combined like this.

[@gsuhz41]

I like every song from this band

[@scottphillips7795]

That one part reminds me of the official podcast intro tbh

[@annestella858]

Robot Charlie soloed is amazing

[@Umar-br7ul]

This shit is so cool

[@emperoring112]

Despite how “silly” you can say the meanings of each of these songs is, they are each absolute amazing compositions. I honestly wish I could write something as epic sounding as this song is. You and Charlie really make something special together man. I always look forward to the next song you guys put out!

[@blueseadye]

haha i don't know anything about music but i found the break down of the song super fascinating it's so cool to see all that went into making the song im just beyond amazed :o

[@scr.ote08412]

Dude the amount of attention and detail he put in to this hot damn this good right on

[@eddox94]

Charlie's guturals are absolute quality

[@drewconleymusic]

I love when you can see how unprofessional musicians are at heart. This is not a jab at Troy at all because it's literally all musicians, including myself. When you look at the pros you think "Oh yeah they must have the most perfect, efficient and high tech stuff possible and it's all amazing and perfect in every way." The session is called "skunut 2020 mix", there are wonderful quotes such as "The guitar sounds very cheap, not great at all... but the vibe was really cool so I just left it." and "That's just the bass guitar, I just plugged it into my interface I think i just put a, I can't remember which plugin I put on it." The thing is, it's the stuff like this where it's just slapped together that sounds the greatest. When things are overproduced it just sounds plastic and it sounds the same as a million other things that were made just like it. I did a performance with a few other dudes not too long ago and it was fantastic, even though we had one 3 hour practice session to put a 45 minute set list together, I never got any of the chord charts and we'd never played together as a band before in our lives. We also had no idea where what part of the venue we were supposed to be performing in until about an hour before we were due to start. But really great musicians make it work and get it done. Troy and Charlie are a really great pair.

[@user-fs2mh7wk8t]

This song is been flying inmy head for the last few weeks and i love it

[@plangelier]

Yeah these songs have become my new favorites and I listen to them everyday... somehow they even fill me with inspiration lmao

[@autismosis69]

I think the most impressive part of this whole thing is seeing pro tools work reliably on windows. Jokes aside, amazing work and I can't wait to hear what you guys have coming up

[@ValorGlory]

Man, you guys fucking go all out for these songs, it is awesome.

[@rib7236]

big props here troy this probably one of my favourites in terms of music, just love that synth

[@borazillaalt]

the music and the artwork fits so blody well to each other on the video. amazing job on the song dude. im probably not the first one who will say this but, you definetly deserve more subs and reputation.

I'm trying to improve my production skills, so this was cool to see! Thank you!

could you do a session on the other projects? like She's Real and 2019 Guy? please

[@Brandon2940]

I really love chorus of this song! What chords are being played during the chorus?

[@stepankrikava5449]

I i played it on piano and it seems to be: Dm - Dm - Bb(A#) - C or: D5 - D5 - Bb5 - C5 the whole song. And the dissonant note in 2nd chorus after every chord is Eb(D#) There may be some minor differences :D

Could you do one of these for "Real To Me" as well?

[@BeefGeneral]

love the song. what plug-ins do you most often use for guitar?

[@thegentlemen9616]

Beef don’t us any amp sim plugins. Normally use a real amp. But for this I used a Kemper. Guitar processing plugs are usually just EQ and some mild tape saturation.

[@straightbusta1886]

Is it possible if you could give us the music... but in a program so we can listen to specific instruments being played.. Like in the video?

[@chunknorbis4576]

I really want to start making music like this. I wish I could write lyrics, but that’s my biggest weak point.

hey this is a great breakdown, just a question, is there any particular reason for using pro tools instead of another daw?

[@vincentus420]

please do me the favour and make the project file public, got some many ideas, that would fit into the song

@@pastproject4932 nice

[@GlassyVI]

the only thing I didnt like was the vocals at the start, I get it that is some kind of shiposting and everything, but its a bit funny if you get what I'm trying to say, they just sound a little bit unpolished, maybe add something like just a 33-77ms delay and get rid of the autotune, not too much things going on (the song is already out so whatever lol), not trying to sound like hate, just constructive critisism, thank you for making this song

[@thegentlemen9616]

Broken Amethyst the vocals have 3 different delays on them. And no autotune. It’s a vocoder to get a robot effect. Everyone has different taste.
