There really isn't any other metalcore album with this sound. I persoanlly love it

This album is by far their best work. Lyrically, theme, feel. Man this changed me when it came out.

When The End Began is my personal favorite of theirs, its similar sonically and lyrically, but has more variety, softer moments, more sing-y choruses, etc. And Depths III alone makes that album a masterpiece for me. Please check it out at some point 🙏 I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit more

Great pick, one of my faves from one of my favorite bands! Definitely recommend you check out the track-by-track interviews Garrett has done with the channel Cayeminterviews if you want to learn more about what this one as well as the album before (The Night God Slept), and the one after (When the End Began) if/when you get to those (for The Night God Slept I'd recommend doing the redux version, but's up to you, also watch for vocal features on that album). Also fun fact, all the first 3 albums' titles are meant to be added up to read a sentence, so as each album came out, more of the sentence was revealed. And the song Redivider is a palindrome in lyrical and musical form that divides the album's first and second half, so that's pretty cool 🤘

You have to look into the thought process and lyricism of this album. The color wheel on the album cover represents different mental illnesses, and the songs are written from perspectives of people who deal with them. It’s one of the deepest albums writing wise I’ve ever heard

If his brain is exhausted, should we tell him about the footnotes in Garrett's lyrics... 😅🙃

@winterunterseher8937 Ай бұрын

Haha exactly😅 such a cool aspect of the band I discovered when I got into them. I also love when bands do callbacks or references to past songs like Architects, Currents, Erra/Ghost Atlas. Holding Absence, Casey, and others do.

The last album I absolutely loved front to back from SP. Also the Spencer Chamberlain feature was done before there was even a whiff of a rumor of Underoath coming back. I'll never forget when I heard his feature for the first time.

Man this album is incredible. Probably best planet has been but they don’t write bad music ever. I’m really surprised you have never heard of panic room since it’s probably their most popular song besides triology and the meaning behind it. Such a sick track. Garrett truly is a 1 of 1 unique vocalist

@theopinson3851 Ай бұрын

Their best IMO. Panic Room is the GOAT. I think it does take a few listens to really appreciate.

The video is an absolute masterpiece.

I love Silent Planet so much. One of my absolute favorite bands. "Everything was sound" really feels like their most poetry-core album of the bunch and it still hits to this day.

@lukeherndon Ай бұрын

Redivider is so insane man. I could not fathom writing a song that is a palindrome

@SteveOGRock Ай бұрын

Yeah that has blown my mind when I found out about it afterwards.

They are coming to our tiny little town next year supporting ERRA in March. It’s a pretty big deal for us. Recently had Coheed with Intervals two weeks ago and Northlane two nights later. Some good gigs for us here in Tasmania. Which reminds me I have to pick up the giant Coheed & Cambria tour poster I won from the venue!!!! Cavalera and also Jack White in Jan/Feb. Saves travelling all the time ( just did Pearl Jam for the last show of world tour in Sydney and we got Hunger Strike! First time played in ten years and first time since Chris Cornell passed). Biggest surprise for me was just how good Twenty One Pilots were the following night for their last show of world tour. Impressed. Flying out again to see Korn headlining Good Things festival next weekend and then the Killers the weekend after. Busy busy. Love ya work Steve, keep it up. Stoked to hear Trilogy live soon though from Silent Planet.

When I first listened to this album, I didn't really think much of it musically but as I explore lyrics and went through the a lot of personal soul searching, slowly the vocals and lyrics ended up making the instrumentals click for me. I don't give 10/10's but I never had albums that made me empathize with people's struggles and made me self reflect as much as Silent Planet's albums has. I love this band to death

@SteveOGRock Ай бұрын

That entire song palindrome lyric is absolutely wild to be fair.

@caidenjones918 Ай бұрын

This album is a lyrical masterpiece. My appreciation for it grew massively after spending a lot of time taking it in. For example, Redivider repeats itself, but backwards at the halfway mark.

I really appreciate these backlog reactions. I'm usually too much of a modern mix elitist to bother going back myself, but this was great, and the mix mostly holds up. I can tell it is the Silent Planet I know, while also being really different. I'll probably be blasting Inherit The Earth and Panic Room.

Love this album. The first 3-4 albums are all my jam.

I can completely understand that it is too harrowing to really like it. I've been listening to Silent Planet for multiple years, and the earlier albums I onlybreally revisit when I'm in a very introspective mood. Absolutely a technical, lyrical and emotional masterpiece, just not an everyday listen.

Interesting. The earlier albums up to Irredescent are an everyday listen for me.

"Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner" basically means "to understand everything is to forgive everything." I'm glad you really appreciate the drum work here. I've been saying for a long time that Alex is an absolutely peak drummer that I feel goes underappreciated. Their first three albums form a sort of thematic trilogy that have a "plot" in a very vague sense. The Night God Slept has stories of women that have suffered in various ways (mostly around WW2 but not entirely). I'm sure there's more to it but I just can't remember the framing at the moment. Everything Was Sound is after TNGS (the very first lyrics "After the fire, After the rain" is specifically referring to after the last song of TNGS) is about 9 people who have suffered in various ways (Nervosa is about someone suffering from an eating disorder, Panic Room is about PTSD, No Place to Breathe is about police brutality, etc.). Garrett framed this album as entering a panopticon where you witness these 9 people's suffering with him destroying the panopticon to set them free in the end. When the End Began is after EWS and the framing here is that Garrett basically falls into a black hole where he witnesses many "apocalypses" but not in the traditional end of the world sense. More like a sharp change in the status quo that marks a end of one era and the beginning of the next. This can be personal (Visible Unseen is about an LGBTQ+ child escaping an abusive family), societal (Northern Fires is about the Spanish Civil War which was really a turning point in warfare to modern weapons and tactics), or metaphysical (The Anatomy of Time is about the movie Arrival which describes how perception of time itself can be altered by language). There are track by track interviews with Garrett that go into way more detail but if you know what to look for you can piece things together a bit more like some common lyrical phrases ("Seven Sisters" refers to the women in TNGS while "Nine Lovers" refers to the people in EWS)
