The album that finally turned me on to Knocked Loose

Ask me a few years ago if I'd be into Knocked Loose's music, I'd say probably not. Probably would've been too deep in my ERRA phase at that point. Which, to be fair, was awesome, and I'd give up a lot to re-experience ERRA for the first time. Jesse's vocals are amazing, the drumming is insane, and I was mostly kicking myself for not having listened to them before the self-titled came out. Man, 2021 really was the time of discovery for me. Did you know I wasn't really into Whitechapel until that same year?
Anyway, You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To is awesome.

I've been in love with them since the start..but this album..was freaking amazing. Sit&Mourn tore me up. This album ate my heart. It was fabulous. Your description is on point..

[@ChronicBreakdown]

Sit and Mourn is my favorite on the album. The ending with the guitar riff is so eerie and it makes me feel an emotion I can't even describe.

[@emie1170]

the calm that keeps you awake completely brainwashed me

[@Kalitayy]

Five Nights at Pacsun's 4:46 5:05 6:51 7:35 You didn't talk about him enough, I think his drumming keeps their tracks fresh. He kept changing the drum pattern every freaking minute in Blinding Faith, it's never boring.

[@davidgood1205]

I love it when you give a quick overview of the structure of the album and what each song does for the journey start to finish. Having an outline, especially for an album like this makes it more digestible for me. Definitely gonna give this one another spin.

[@JacobAndrsn]

Credit the band for having an album that was easy to outline tbf

[@davidgood1205]

For sure, and you recognized that, distilled it into an easy to follow explanation that gets me excited to listen and easier to process when I do. That's exactly what I want from a review video. This is the kind of channel I've been looking for to cover modern metal I'm glad I found your stuff 👍

[@wesjaguar]

KL doesnt have a single bad song, honestly.

[@GhostGhoat]

Blown away by the quality of your work here. That sub 1k sub number is a travesty. Well spoken, concise work and I really loved that album overview of what each song is bringing to the table. Subbed.

[@JacobAndrsn]

Too kind dude 🙏🏻

[@EBjeebies1081]

The line in Deep in the Willow “A rat to most… to me, less” goes so fucking hard

[@mansocksjr]

the titanfall bit was so based

[@blackmamba5659]

4:12 perfect description of the album

[@GoodKid]

Glad you popped into my feed with this video. Incredibly well written and spoken, especially for how (relatively) small of a channel you are -- the way you conveyed and described certain components helped solidify my own understanding of *why* I like certain components of this album. Admittedly, I was incredibly amped for this album but was moderately indifferent the first time I listened to it -- but even now I have constantly been going back to it, and it's currently my #1 album of the year. Your direction and communication are very well done, and I hope you grow in popularity as a creator!

[@JacobAndrsn]

Man what the heck thank you 🥹

[@dawmak29]

Same! Sit and mourn is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ManTheRampartsBaby]

Your articulation slaps dude. Subbed. I’d love to hear your thoughts on mirar’s new record: Mare. It’s kinda fuckin insane man.

[@IzhakIb]

Yo the last track is absolute destruction😊

[@sams.4388]

Great review! This album has really resonated with me. I like it more with each listen. I have not been this excited about an album for quite some time.

[@wheelsofmercury]

I was really impressed by the new KL album, too! It’s a tie between that one and the two newest albums from the war metal (yes, that is a real metal subgenre; look it up sometime!) bands Antichrist Siege Machine and Primitive Warfare for the heaviest album of the year so far.

[@MindLess927]

Dude I was recommended this video and was drawn in from the first minute. I love the album and I loved hearing you break it down in your eyes and how you digested it. And then I saw you were under 1k in sub and that blew me away. The quality of your work is amazing! Definitely subscribed

[@Spencer13_]

Absolutely loving this record. It’s my favourite album of 2024 so far, and I doubt anything will beat it. I’m seeing this band live in August headlining for Slipknot, and I hope they play this record front to back along with Deep In The Willow + Everything Is Quiet Now. Here’s my ranking of every track on this record… 10 - Moss Covers All 9 - Take Me Home 8 - Slaughterhouse II 7 - Piece By Piece 6 - Thirst 5 - Sit & Mourn 4 - The Calm That Keeps You Awake 3 - Suffocate 2 - Don’t Reach For Me 1 - Blinding Faith

[@brandonhiebert2012]

Excellent essay and argument for why this album is special! Weirdly this feels like the drop A metalcore album that I wished bands would make in the 2000s that no one did.

[@die-no-mite]

Woo! new uploads!

[@JacobAndrsn]

Moving sucks but we back now

[@die-no-mite]

@@JacobAndrsn great to hear! I was worried you'd dipped lmao

[@FLmetalhead]

Sit and mourn is my favorite KL song I’ve ever heard.

[@justinhumphrey759]

And then one day you finally realize how good the vocals are.

[@vincentbatten4686]

I love this album. I was in the same camp as a lot of others until A Different Shade of Blue. That album brought me onboard, and the follow up EPs were really interesting because you could see the slow evolution into this album, and they really cooked here.

[@FLmetalhead]

Same here. Could never get behind the vocals but this new album hits different and I didn’t mind the vocals as much as before.

[@FTWworlddomination]

I always kinda skipped over knocked loose but never cared much till this album then holy shit every day I had it playing

[@kevinseccia2476]

1. Blistering Thesis Statement 2. My favorite groove and song on the record 3. Excellent collab and that Reggaeton breakdown… 4. Slightly more traditional two chorus ass kicker 5. 46 seconds of what the fuck did I just listen to? 6. Song that slows things down, but amps up the terror 7. Another good collab with a more melodic structure 8. Creepy drums and a beat switch on the breakdown 9. Blinding Faith 10. A dope example of what happens when hard-core brained musicians make something a little more melodramatic

[@ConspiracyRangr]

took me a minute with the vocals but not years. They are INSANELY badass

[@serious_goose]

My favorite siege analyst. I remember meeting you at a I wanna say the devil wears prada performance can’t remember what band exactly, I go to too many concerts. Anyway, it’s nice seeing you make music content.

[@JacobAndrsn]

Wait that was you at the ABR concert in 2021??

[@serious_goose]

@@JacobAndrsn ahh yes ABR! Yeah I felt weird following up givin it was right when Kix pasted away but I just had to go up and say hi. It’s been awesome seeing your progression through the siege scene!

[@LexiPixeL_]

Somehow you found your way onto my recommended, and I'm happy for it. This video was a great overview of my favorite album this year. I love your style and the sense of humor throughout kept me engaged. Totally agree on the Chris feature btw. It's a great track, but much like you said, his style doesn't fit *as much*. Subbed to ya, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[@JacobAndrsn]

Appreciate it a lot 🥹

[@wapiti89]

It was the same thing for me ! The same f***ING thing Journey like you XD.

[@user-mq8cp6jz6d]

Underrated channel bro hope you get big

[@ChronicBreakdown]

The main thing that kept me from loving Knocked Loose were the vocals as well. Then something just clicked. Knocked Loose is a band that just oozes emotion and anger.

[@jesusdelarosa1204]

Same here... I didn't like at first and then.... You can't stop listening to this band

[@benans6819]

i agree, poppy's feature is an absolute masterpiece. brian and her fit so well together!

[@alexkenley1]

eh if you're an Architects fan and have aquired a taste for the higher pitched vocals then KL/Bryans vocals aren't much of a stretch to get into. It can take some time to become accustomed to it though

[@darko9926]

kickstar charm goated, much respect

[@kordell8199]

What's weird is that I was super hyped for this album, I listened to ATFL and really loved it, but honestly I only really liked the singles they put out ahead of the album release along with slaughterhouse 2. I dunno I guess I loved 4/10 songs from the album, and liked maybe 3/6 of the other songs so generally a positive score. I just felt like a few of the songs on the album were just too indistinguishable and as an experience it flowed a little weird. Still like the band and am excited for what they do next!

[@_Rat06]

Noticed the kixstar charm at the bottom, rest in peace

[@bathsaltshero]

bro i never could get into them cuz brian's vox but idk - it fucking slapps but i tried the previous album and it did not blew me into stratosphere like you wont go.

[@PoetryAndTofu]

I feel you on Slaughterhouse 2. I'm not big on either but it seems like Bryan was over the moon about having him again so happiness was achieved for someone nontheless.

[@ElJuk3B0X]

Rip Kix❤️

[@princessmigo]

I listen to it at work and sometimes 27 minutes can actually be too short. I just play it again. I'd rather it didn't morph into something else.

[@harrisbueller]

I would recommend a revisit to A Tear In The Fabric of Life, else I'll file you as someone who doesn't like Titanfall :)

[@harrisbueller]

Nicko's first work with KL was on A Tear in the Fabric of Life, they talked about coming out of working on the EP wanting to do the same thing at the album level. To me this really makes You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To is the natural culmination of this phase of their sound. Can't wait to see what they do next.

[@ashenone4349]

Great album, definitely a masterpiece, but let's not forget alpha wolf, bmth, darko Us, like moth to flames...

[@MantasticHams]

he said drop z lol

[@fliproleluwu5602]

Better Lovers vinyl is a massive W

[@JacobAndrsn]

That one’s the super exclusive one too

[@Waatheuz]

Thank you for explaining why I love this album so much because I'm an uneducated moron 😂 my ears were telling me "DIS IS 10!" from the get go, but now I can make more sense of why that is

[@MegaLaban12345]

"Drop Z" is what he meant.

[@JacobAndrsn]

Woosh

[@CrypticlyEncrypted]

Check out the new CANDY record. Similar vibes but it mixes more metallic hardcore vibes with industrial electronic stuff.

[@Rachel8260]

fantano didnt say drop C at the start lol, he says drop Z

[@JacobAndrsn]

That’s the joke

[@TheAlex4019]

And for me, the album that made me quit the Knocked Loose train. I even can't finish this album, I hate the mix

[@jag-stang29]

he said drop z not drop c 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Pandamonium626]

The only song I dislike is Slaughterhouse 2. The song isn't bad, but it doesn't fit the flow or feel of the album imo. If you listen to the album from beginning to end without that song it feels much more cohesive.

[@Awton]

Idk man. I just can stand his growling. It's like he's stuck in headvoice and can't get out of it.
