That Intro SLAPS | Drag Me Out - Crystal Arms | Reaction

[@Hellavit]

Massive props to Denis for sticking around for a second album. I really feel like Drag Me Out is his true calling especially considering he and the guys couldn’t make D&D work.

[@christianlgrey_]

It’s silly we need to give props for staying with a band past one release haha, but yeah I’m glad they’re sticking together and doing more music. I’m excited for the album.

Finally we get the true sequel to The Black album

[@christianlgrey_]

I only liked a couple tracks off The Black and I like those ones more than the DMO stuff but it’s cool that it does feel like a continuation of that era of Asking. Just not entirely sold on the overall direction but I like certain elements a ton.

@@christianlgrey_ The Black is my absolute favorite so I can't wait for this album.

[@Luca-re9zn]

I can't stop listening to this song I love the growth of the band, each song is better than the previous one. I think they will reach the level of "move it". So excited for this album and the future ones

[@chrisjacobs4793]

Christian I agree with you! I kept waiting more with another breakdown. I definitely don't mind what I'm getting because I'm happy with whats coming out so far. I can't wait for the new album.

[@kotat9972]

I’ve been a huge fan of Dennis since he was in MakeMeFamous. Love this sound! Pumped for another release from him 👍 you guys sound so fucking similar BTW lol

[@Lord_Burrito]

For the most part, I think the song itself is fine, but the effects they used in production for the clean vocals don't do them justice. Pressure's cleans were amazing, cause the filter they used was very simple and sounded far less 'produced' or overdone. It was basically just like hearing a clean-cut version of his vocals with almost no editing, but the cleans on this record seem to be produced a little too much for me. Denis is an absolutely fantastic vocalist, but it's kinda sad to see them mask his cleans with those effects.

[@christianlgrey_]

I can hear what you’re saying on the singing, you mentioning that made me think again about the screams too and I like how those are produced however almost every scream is layered to hell lol kinda makes it all muddy/sound the same. Where layers usually make certain parts stand out or emphasize certain phrases. When everything’s layered / “sounds big”, then none of it actually sounds that big. IMO.

[@Chizuru94]

Hm, this would explain a lot for me. I like the stuff, esp. this new song, but like Chris said, smth seems to be missing :o This would partially if not fully explain it for me. And I liked the first DMO album a LOT.

[@brandonredboy4514]

I loved Denis since above92 I feel like he was only used in Asking Alexandria to make Danny's return more memorable.

[@christianlgrey_]

That’s cool you’ve known him for that long. I don’t think that second part is true at all

[@brandonredboy4514]

@@christianlgrey_ you probably know more than me, just kind of a big coincidence that Denis left before their 10 year anniversary and Danny returned, but hey! I loved you in down & dirty, was that you in heaven sent alternative version?

[@jeux2322]

@@brandonredboy4514 their 10th anniversary ? it was the label not the band

[@YYesImCrazYY]

Haha you can really tell you had certain parts in your head to follow up parts on the song and they didn't deliver on that. I'd love to hear what you imagined at those parts and if I would have preferred it to the original song (I bet I would ;))

[@christianlgrey_]

At the end of the day it’s all just preferences and opinions but yeah def parts I personally would have done a lot differently for my personal taste for this kind of music. But that’s a part of music I love is that everyone’s different and writes with their preferences. As long as the band is stoked on their stuff that’s honestly all I really care about even if some parts lose me because I don’t like the direction the songs take at times haha

[@Chizuru94]

@@christianlgrey_ Agreed :)

[@tszfung0583]

I like that shirt.

[@Dzhuster]

Nice reaction

[@mikeormoab]

What happened? Lol, the production and energy on the main riff is at 100 while the rest of the song is at 60

[@christianlgrey_]

The genuine rush of adrenaline I felt when hearing that intro was unreal haha. But yeah rest of the song was cool, but didn’t blow me away to the extent that riff did. Even though you could argue the riff is basic/generic but I don’t care. Sounded fucking awesome to me haha

[@Zjay_Cortez08]

Next review IN DYING ARMS DARK DAYS 🔥💥🙏🙏

[@riverseeker]

This is just Move It by Down and Dirty remixed

[@Chizuru94]

I can't see it, but the riffs etc. def. got D&D vibes :)

[@ronal7214]

Love the song but i feel like it was quite too short or the heavy parts wasn´t that enough unfortunately , but it´s amazing tho🔥

[@LaGGyXdm]

I only have negative things to say when it comes to Denis and this band sadly. I really wanted Drag Me Out to be really good. I liked what he did with D&D and AA.

[@christianlgrey_]

You didn’t like the riff on this one? 😳

[@Chizuru94]

​@@christianlgrey_ I loved the Riff also and it really stood out to me :) Can't echo what Jay said, but I agree with a lot of your "critique" :) But yeah, hyped for the album and loved all the teasers he dropped occasionally on social media/from KZbin video, so hope the album will have those songs on it and deliver.

[@anthonyvinci2869]

Do a cover 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@christianlgrey_]

That’s a lot of work hahah and I don’t think I can hit some of those notes he did

[@julan5384]

My main issue is how predictable the song ends up being and also how samey it’s sounding with their previous track. Solid song tho

[@muhamadriski9104]

Reaction new song drag me out Hymn for the wicked

[@shilliday]

formulaic and predictable. boring. no neurons firing.

[@christianlgrey_]

I have no problems with music being predictable or having a simple formula if I like how it sounds. Probably why I like pop music so much despite it being super predictable musically

[@shilliday]

@@christianlgrey_ for sure, people like what they like. But for me how it sounds is based on how it stimulates my brain. Formulaic music is ,for me, like talking to dumb people.
