[@thomasmalatesta7331]

This song has to be taken in context with where it fits into the theme of the story. The mood is melancholic because the protagonist ( queen ) is dying. If you listen to the album from start to finish, it bears resemblance to a Shakespearean tragedy. It's a simple 4 chord song, but the genius of the song ( and album ) is its storytelling. Paulina's masterpiece.

[@troyg5439]

nicely put thomas !! that's the thing , this is a album with a start and ending !(hearing only part of the story ,takes soo much away)

[@guitarzerotohero9124]

@thomasmalatesta7331 ... Your comment was spot on! Too many of these "re-actors" only react to these songs to draw in Warning Army fans so they can increase their subscribers! It's should also be noted that these girls composed, wrote, and produced this album when they were 12, 14, and 17! Many of these "re-actors", overlook that fact or fail to do any research on the artists they are reacting to! What I find to be most amazing is that these ladies have opened for some legendary bands who have nothing but incredible things to say about this band. Those same bands talk about the level of skill in the musicianship, their showmanship, and the energy that they bring to the stage, each and every time they play! Maybe it's time to start reacting to the "re-actors!

[@kurokishi-TWA]

No pitchforks coming but here is a fun fact. This song is Paulina’s masterpiece. Paulina put her heart and soul into creating it. Dany does not sing this song. I am glad that you got a chance to hear it. ✌🏿TWA4L

[@RandyTWA]

The 7,300’ elevation of Mexico City was the issue with the vocals. As far as Ale on keys, you saw her do the intro to Survive, speaking of which…patiently (not patiently) waiting for you and your wife’s reaction to that TW classic.

[@AgusRodriguezY]

Agree Randy, not just the elevation. At this point Pau had been beating the drums into submission for 1 hr and 10 min while singling lead in two songs and backing vocals for all others except When I’m Alone. Finally, this was the very first time this song was played in front of a live audience along with the rest of chapter 4. Under these circumstances it was a great performance on my book.

[@Nas_Khan]

Dany had already sung like 15 or 16 songs by this point. The high elevation of Lunario doesn’t make it easy for breath control but regardless Dany killed it during this show. Pau sang Dust to Dust to begin with and finished it off with The End. She may have sung another one but by this point they were already 16 or 17 songs down so considering that Pau did a great job too. Love the way Dany makes her Manson cry in this song. This solo although short is one of my favourites from them. Great reaction as always David 😊

[@Divedown_25]

I respect your opinion about harmonies. But I didn’t hear that. I really like that song, a great ending. Ale here just shy of 14y and performed like a pro. Dany’s solo too short, agree

[@professorg9424]

Love when Pau sings, but for me the highlight here is Dany's performance on guitar. She played with a ton of feeling that gave the song a certain haunting atmosphere. Wish the solo was longer but everything Dany plays fits within the context of the song. And Dany's look at the end of the song, like she was transported away by the music and came back as the last note faded.

[@ellaevansbolt]

David, you really need to find the time to listen to this concert from the beginning with the songs in the correct order. This song is the culmination of a long story of longing for someone, descent into madness, finishing with the suicide of the person who has committed murder of the one she loved. Pau starts it with Dust to Dust and finishingit with this.

[@bigfan007]

That is fine for some people, but in the end a good song must stand on its own.

[@ellaevansbolt]

@@bigfan007 To an extent I agree, but if you take the final chapter out of a book, it will make little sense if you don't know the context of the story. This the final chapter of a Rock novel (called that by The Warning) and although it does stand on it's own, it makes far more sense as precisely that.

[@robhaunui3343]

@@bigfan007 yes,totally agree - every song should be able to stand alone by itself,and if they are part of a concept album,they are just a sum part of the total. Each of the songs on this album could easily be a stand-alone number,if they weren't part of a concept album,and that's the great part of talented songwriting,and playing.

[@edintx]

They also did an acoustic version this, which holds its own. The gals agree that Ale plays piano best, but that said, a number of their songs begin life with Pau writing a melody on the piano. Stay well!

[@thesuperdak7224]

Great reaction! I was a little shocked to hear that this song originally had a six or seven month wait, while still being relatively close to the front of the line; now I know you're busy, buuuuuuuuuut...nobody's gonna complain about a few more YTs a week. Just sayin'. 😉 Everyone wishes she had done the solo longer, no argument there, but it was actually a songwriting decision -- it's that way on the album, too. They won't do a solo just for the sake of a solo, no matter how much we wish they would; it has to fit the song, according to their standards of "fit'. Anyway, looking forward to the next one!

[@peluchingamarra3127]

You're a good teacher, criticizing with respect is a good thing. We know you love these girls work and totally understand what you mean.

[@shadow_walkerOZ]

This wasn't the gig where Dany couldn't sing, but this was about the 16th or 17th song in the set at that point.

[@abjbusti8586]

🗣Harrumph! Score is fair. 👍

[@Terry_Lacy]

It is always a pleasure to watch your reviews. According to the ladies, Dani has the widest range on both ends.

[@glengibbs1949]

Hey David! "The End" is the emotional finale of the rock opera QOTMS and is the bookend "To Dust to Dust", the opening. Both songs are always performed by Pau, with Dany singing soaring vocals at their completions: bookends. The 3-part harmony "what have I done?" sounds majestic to my untrained ear.

[@agustinmanyari]

This song is amazing! It’s always Pau’s song . The ‘problem’ is The Warning set the bar really high, Choke, Evolve are beyond amazing. Great reaction 🤘🏻

[@thomasjones2377]

What a ending song off of a fantastic album!

[@MaddogJones]

That's a fair score David. This is Pau's song as she bookends the album with Dust to Dust and The End, notice that Dany sings the final notes of each song. This was the debut performance of the songs on Queen of the Murder Scene and was performed in Mexico City 2,240 meters above sea level and at 97 minutes was one of their longest shows with The End being the final song before an encore. The show where Dany was too sick to sing all of her songs was when the opened for Stryper and Ale and Pau helped out and sang a couple of songs each.

[@troyg5439]

true facts!!!!!

[@dorseywhite2084]

this song was at the end of the show and they were in mexico city several thousand feet above sea level witch makes the air thinner . breathing becomes an issue . takes time for your body to adjust .

[@krash66]

What you're hearing in their voices is that this was near the end of a long show, and they are at 7250 feet in elevation! They were EXHAUSTED. They said later that they were fighting to catch their breathe near the end.

[@zamdrist]

I always enjoy your reactions and look forward to them when they come up on my notifications. I appreciate the constructive criticism where called for. There's a lot to like about this song and this performance. No one is perfect every time, and live. Imperfections will creep their way in. Anyhow, thanks for the after-work distraction from unimportant things to much more important things like reactions and The Warning's music.

[@pallenda]

I really like this song, your score is fair. :) In 5-10 years from now I think it will be fun to hear The Warning re-imagine some of their older material. I think this one will be a fun one to see what they will alter a bit down the line.

[@sergiodelatejaytejeda]

This is a masterpiece, which I hope, in time, will be recognized as such. This song has nothing to do with "Dull Knives" except that, when they finish, you are left wanting more, much more. Both are very short! ⚡🎸🥁🎸⚡ 🤘😁✌️🙋

[@doomsdaycun_lmh9341]

In this presentation they was in Ciudad de México at 2,250 mts above sea level (7,382 feet), Monterrey, they home town, its only at 540 mts (1771 feet), this is the last song on a one hour and a half show and they was at 100% more than usual because was the presentation of their second album, they are very tired at this moment, and they not sound perfect but it´s part of the magic of this presentation, the imperfections. In other matter about the little Gene, I´m totally understand you, you can like Kiss or not, but you have to aknowledge that they are great performers, and Gene Simmons highlights above they partners, so, yes it´s a very good complement, at least for me.

[@boulas]

That was perfect!

[@yomahmaful]

Great reaction! 🤟🏽 Criticize away, that’s why we’re here.

[@cardmandw]

Great job David as always. As a non musician the harmonies didn't bother me at all. You hear things that I don't (until you point them out). Sometimes you are a little bit like an artist pointing out " well Van Gogh is great but he used too much paint on his brush in this area, and he coulda used a more refined technique in this area." I just see the overall not the details. That being said , I learn a lot from you, I respect your opinion and honesty. Not trying to be critical, just sharing my point of view. You are the best reactor on KZbin, thanks again.

[@markbell4982]

Lunario is not where Dany was sick. The End has always been Pau's song. I was disappointed that you didn't really care for the song 😢. This was my favorite before their new material came out and the song I wanted yoir wife to react to. I just absolutely love the change-up at the beginning of the song that you seemed to like as well, the solo was really pretty (like you, I wish it were longer), and lyrically, I think it's just fantastic. Maybe we'll agree on the next one. 😁

Yes Danis' guitar playing was the best she has played at a concert to date for me she was on fire here .The 7300 elevation certainly took it's toll both physically and mentally , extremely tiring for a show that was over 2 hours long , and surprised David didn't rate it a bit higher really .

[@tomcruise8603]

@@anthonyfisher1670 i believe that if David would’ve known all those details before he did his reaction he would’ve given it a 9+ but he didn’t that’s the bad thing but what counts is that all The Warning fans do know those details well most of us do LoL cheers Anthony

[@robhaunui3343]

Absolutely agree with you on Paus vocals. As much as I'm impressed by how Danys vocals have improved (they were always good),It's Paus raw emotion that she evokes with those "burnt" vocals that do it for me,"Creep" or "Black Holes" being the prime examples.

[@nukchuu1]

Fair fair. Others have mentioned the altitude and last song and such BUT it was also from my understanding, the first time they played the WHOLE album at once as they had released this album in the 4 chapters and also played some of their other songs in between. so very well done and you can really see that they love and enjoy performing. Im sure they also were getting used to dealing with their sound on such a long concert. anyways it would do you well to be able to listen to the whole album in sequence to follow the story and it might make more sense lyrically just my thought. good day bud

[@lolpalolo]

YEAAAH the girls are back! Love them.

[@josephbel7532]

Hello David, this is one of my favorite songs, Pau's voice, Dany's melancholic guitar and above all, the strength of the song, all that when they were practically little girls ... super song ... David, honesty is appreciated And the good review and Ale's, of course it's a compliment. Greetings!

[@Ahluk1]

I agree with you. My only problem with the guitar solo is that it was too short. Still a perfect solo that fit with the song.

[@ultimatelovejunkie4122]

Anytime Pau sings I am there. She writes and sings them so beautifully. 🤘🤘🤘(Black Holes and The End)

[@fredbarnes2049]

Just let me say this Everybody covered everything else in the other comments, altitude, end of concert etc. This was a concert album playthrough so yeah the ladies are tired, last song. Also concept albums are built around their standout songs with bridge songs, intros and outros. This song was meant to wrap it up, a tricky task especially with this album. 8.2 is about what I'd give it all qualications aside. Great reaction, more honest than most.

[@fredbarnes2049]

I think it's probably better overall you go into it blind, you pick up on things I'd always missed( like a certain ex wife of Jack White's inconsistent playing) The reaction channel I'm most often at does all his live stream with some input from the peanut gallery. Is that better? Sometimes if the peanut gallery is being unbiased and honest yes, and sometimes no. I think sometimes some background would help you but too much would confuse the issue. The way you do it works for you most of the time, I give it an 8.5, lol

[@tomcruise8603]

For being the last song played and being played at a very high altitude in Mexico City and being sung by the drummer I would give it a 10 but I respect your score also because you didn’t know about all this things I previously mentioned. But don’t worry about The Warning Army we are not like fans from other bands that only wanna hear good things said about their bands we accept criticism as long as it’s not hater criticism. Cheers David and see you on the next Warning Reaction

[@purpleraventd3]

Another great reaction. Your reviews are always honest and on point. I've never been disappointed with the scores The Warning have received from you. I do agree that it would be nice to hear a longer solo from Dany, most of her solos are short and sweet. I'm right with you that this a great song for Pau to do lead. And take into consideration as well that this was probably the last or one of the last songs of the set. They may have been a little exhausted at that point! Still playing their hearts out though.

[@vasquezovj65]

Fair reaction that said I guess I have to have my ears checked Lol. As for this venue, Dany sang almost all the songs except for Dust to Dust and The End both of which are songs Pau always takes lead vocal on.

[@scottlafleur4148]

Yea, I disagree that the harmonies don't sound good. I've heard the studio version of this and this live performance of this song and I think they kick ass here. Was it pitch perfect. No. I'm not going to give excuses. I just disagree. Still, I like your honesty Dave. Great reaction.

[@bradleyp3655]

As others have mentioned the altitude of Mexico City (CDMX) is 2,240 meters (7,350 ft). This would strain even a seasoned singer. In the studio version of the album Queen of the Murder Scene, Pau bookends the whole album with Dust to Dust and The End.

[@MaddogJones]

It's been awhile since I watched this concert but didn't Pau also sing Copper Bullets that night too?

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

@@MaddogJones Yes. "Copper Bullets" was the encore, and Pau sang it. I think Dany wanted to rest her voice at that point.

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

This is the last song of their album and concert at Mexico City Which is higher in elevation. Ale looked wore out. 8.2 is not a bad score

[@treysalazar7791]

David, great reaction. Pau always sings this one, it's the epilogue just like she handles Dust To Dust which is the prologue. Altitude was an issue for to the vocals, but the still performed beautifully.. actually in the whole set Pau only sings one song that Dany usually sings and that's Copper Bullets. I don't think it was that Dany wasn't feeling well...she just need a break after all the songs prior which was plenty by that time in the show. Really should check out the entire Lunario show. It was done the same day Murder Scene was released. All the songs are performed in order. They perform 5 other songs from their first album, XXI Century Blood, that they perform between each Chapter. A great show from beginning to end. Below is a link to the video To Warning posted of the compete show. First ten minutes is of them getting ready. But the show they do address the crowd in both languages. Worth the time as always. Hell, maybe a reaction would be cool. Maybe not an entire video of reacting to the whole show (Bit you know we'd watch it), but a quick review would be cool. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4fGmohpnLKAi7s

[@BadCowboy67]

I'm glad to see a lot of us are saying that that is a fair score, as normal I would go just a bit higher maybe a 8.4 or 8.5 but your score is not a bad score by any means. As for Dany's singing this is not her song to sing it's Pau's lead always, I think you are thinking about another show where Dany was sick and Ale sings lead on a couple of songs then to give her voice a rest. I see other have already told you that you have seen Ale on keys in Survive but it is easy to not remember every thing since it wasn't just a few days ago. They all can and do play piano in certain spot of their shows.

[@markjames8664]

I do think of this song as kind of an 80s power ballad, although better than most of the ones of that decade. Dany here reminds me of Neal Schon of Journey. And I think one of Dany’s best strengths at guitar is being able to play radically different styles. Some guitarists have a distinctive style, but she’s more of a chameleon, fitting her playing to the song. All three of them are developing the skills of top session musicians, you could throw them in a studio for almost any style of artist and they would figure out what to do. Someday way in the future when they get tired of touring I have a vision of them setting up a studio In Monterrey and musicians would come there to be produced and backed by them (Dany and Pau definitely have producer ambitions; Ale might not have the personality for that but she has the instrument skills to just play bass. She has a great voice but I don’t think she’ll ever really want to do a lot of lead vocals)

[@Highrider_Phil_C]

Most of the time I say Foro Didi is the best performance, but for this song done at Lunario, I choose this one. You can really hear Ale sing in this one, she has such a beautiful voice. I'm looking at you David, you have to admit that for being live, this was an awesome performance. Thanks David

[@lolpalolo]

No, but foro didi has like, someone edited the sound for the video, on dust to dust you can clearly hear Dany's voice when Dany is not singing, thats not supposed to be lip syinc, is just the yt video edited to have a better Quality, im sure it was unecesary because the girls are amazing live, but who cares anyways.

[@Highrider_Phil_C]

@@lolpalolo I've heard that also, but I haven't confirmed it yet, personally, I feel if someone modifies a live performance, it's no longer a live performance. Moreover, I love Foro because of the professional camera coverage.

[@torresilk4277]

Great reaction as ever. Actually for this concert the issue was the altitude and not enough time to acclimatise to it. This is a nice way to end the album with the story that it portrays as a complete work. The score is absolutely fair for the song in isolation. 👍🏼🤘🏼

[@MaddogJones]

It was also their longest concert at the time. The End was the last song of the concert and it was on a school night.

[@torresilk4277]

Haha. Not many bands have the “but it’s a school night” thing to contend with. 😁

[@carlnietoweise4653]

Actually, it was the concert where she sang lead on Hunter when Dany had the sore throat, I think this was the debut of Queen of the Murder Scene album so jitters, this being the last song of a long concert and that Mexico city is at 7200 ft. altitude had more to do with any pitchiness . All three girls started on the piano. When asked who of the three is the better piano player both Dany and Pau point to Ale who started at 3 years old. Now I maybe off base on some of these facts but I'm sure my fellow TWA members will chime in. great review David, can't wait to see how you'll like the new album!

[@fredbarnes2049]

That all sounds right

[@timothytyree8057]

I totally agree with you, reactors should not be untruful or not forthwith about the bands they review. the one thing that bothers me the most are the "reactors" ones that do not do any research, apparently, at all. By some of the comments I see, you have been set straight on a few things. All I will say is if the very last Beautiful Tortured Wailing Notes that Dany sang, as the Crimson Queen, If that wasn't enough to put your substitution theory to bed!?...then you must of been thinking of your upcoming critique, and not heard her...#DPAFOREVER

[@JohnDoe-og1dl]

Hi Dave Welcome back nice reaction. One thing you should know this is the last song on a 15 song concert. With the intensity that these girls give on each song. Ibelieve that voices will be a little off by then. Thanks again and welcome back

[@thancrow]

It was on purpose that Pau sang the first and last song. this was at the end of a 2 hour the concert at 7300'.

[@bocatampere]

Feelin you’ 🙏🏻❤️

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

No. That didn't happen. Dany did not have laryngitis or a sore throat at this show. In fact, the few times when she has had to hand off singing duties, she mostly handed it off to Ale. But that didn't happen at this show. The only issue at this show was that it was performed at 7,380 ft. elevation. The air is thinner at a higher elevation. The effect of that is that it makes singing, and breathing, more difficult. So they did struggle a bit with the singing due to that. But Dany's voice was fine at this show. Now... let me go fetch my pitchfork.

[@michaelcgn1090]

Nope. You are misleaded by your memories. This has already been a Pau song, never intended to do the vocals by Dany. It's the last song on their CONCEPT album " Queen of the Murcer Scene" and is the final bracket around their CONCEPT master piece started with "Dust to Dust", where Pau is also singing lead. Probably it is not as good as a stand-alone-song, but in the context of storytelling it is so well done on pitch. It always reminds me in parts a little of The Cranberries's "Zombie". As far as I remember this was their last song of this concert played in the high altitude of Mexico City. You can see Ale also a little bit exhausted. Not easy to look fresh on stage and sing harmonies on pitch after a 17 song run under such circumstances. So David, give it another try for yourself and probably one day you will feel it is time to listen to the complete QTMS-Album song by song to see how mind blowing this CONCEPT album is written by the future of Rock'n Roll.

Thank you for your honest reactions. I love your little gene reference! I understand what you are saying about Dany's "rock voice" but I would recommend that you listen to her "non-rock" voice. She will from time to time post videos where she plays acoustic guitar or piano and sing in a sweeter voice non TW songs.

[@balthusT1]

Good score - 8.2 (I knew it would be in the 8s). BUT HERE COMES THE FORK (pitchforks are way too big) - an excellent final track to an excellent album, when listened to in order, or viewed in order but reacting to just a 'song' without context does hurt if you don't think its good (or as good as others) since you have literally no point of reference (granted a good song should be able to stand by itself, but this is a concept album with a defined story). As a finale piece, this track is perfect (other comments have filled you in and this is my opinion) and sends you back to the start (Dust to Dust) just as Dust to Dust sends you to The End (very, very smart song writing) with everything in-between ('a constant loop inside your head' so to speak. You remember that Dany was ill (which is a good thing) but not at this concert, that was another on the QotMS trail - Lunario is 7300ft above sea level, and 18 songs in causes strain. AND it was also the 1st time performed live at the unveiling of the 4th Chapter. This is Pau's song to sing, like Dust to Dust is Pau's song to sing (the 1st and 13th song on the album), and Dany and Pau share vocal duties on the other 10 songs (Crimson Queen is also Dany's). Personally, them being off is a good thing - it shows they are live, and tired (especially Ale who was 13) - it shows they have given everything they could. I'm disappointed with the score, but also very understandable without knowing the complete story in order, separated by weeks or months of reactions to another part. AND - it is actually a very important song in the evolution of Pau (as a writer) and DPA as performers/artists. I sincerely hope that one day you take the time to just listen to the album (in order) or watch Lunario so that you can get that complete story and appreciate the work that they did as teenagers in writing a very adult album (I know you appreciate them as artists and writers, but in my opinion - this album is special). Anyway mate - Cheers from OZ and onto the next one 😀

Hopefully soon, we're dealing with some real life stuff at the moment. We're gonna try to film her reaction to "Survive" sometime this week if we can.

[@TimberWolf762]

@@THEDavidHeretic No pressure! Gotta deal with the RL stuff first!

[@rufuspanjaitan5759]

It certainly is a PAUer ballad!

[@robertkrawitz8237]

You have seen Ale play piano before, on Survive (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5vMoqyImZ2or6s). Although they're very different songs, both start with same introduction (Ale on piano, Pau singing). All three play piano in concert (Pau on Black Holes and Show Me The Light, Dany on Stalker) and Pau and Dany sometimes play piano on informal videos. As you haven't reviewed Show Me The Light or Stalker, I won't say anything more about those songs. Hard to argue with the score. Listening to your disclaimer I thought it was going to be lower, but 8.2 is on the low end of "great" on your scale, and this was certainly not perfect (as noted, it was near the end of a very long show at altitude); the low end of great fits it. It has always been one of my favorites, and I don't usually like ballads. Dany's solo is simply sublime. It perfectly fits the song, which more than anything is her style. It's also why I don't particularly like the acoustic version of this, since she can't play the solo on acoustic guitar. I think that a better acoustic combination for this would be a piano quartet (violin, violin 2 or viola, cello) or quintet; I think the solo would be playable on violin or viola. I do suggest that at some point when you decide you've reviewed all of the individual songs that you intend to, you go back and listen to the album as a complete work. While there isn't really any musical continuity between the songs, the story line's very strong and some of the songwriting and performance decisions will make a lot of sense in that context.

Poor Ale, so tired here and to put it in context She was only 13 years of age. I wonder what most of us were doing at that age, certainly not walking the fretboard like she does that’s for sure 👌

[@fredhinckley8630]

I heard Ale say once, that she was exhausted while singing PSYCHOTIC, which is two songs before this one. I believe that she needed to rest for a week, or two, after the concert.

[@vinnievidivici4442]

I think you were fair here. When you have time, they also did a pretty good acoustic version of this song that showcases some nice 3-part harmonies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmHcoqpooMllfNk You don't need to review it; just thought you might like to hear it.

[@brettc190]

Well, 8.2 is not bad really. Only people busting your down down would be The Warning themselves (Judging by a video they put out the other day) lol.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Uh oh...they didn't post a video where they jumped on me did they?

[@brettc190]

@@THEDavidHeretic No lol. It was about their new album and there's a part where the producer didn't like one of their songs, and he said they were right in his face about it. But, you gave them an 8.2, they might forgive you.

[@TWA_HoleKutter]

Did I hear a Borderlands reference? That's my favorite game franchise, played through all three many times. Fair reaction, however your off base on the whole Dany vocals thing. That wasn't this show.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Borderlands 2 is still one of my favorite games of all time. The storyline, the script, the characters....it's just sooooo much fun. Tiny Tina and Mister Torgue are just absolutely 2 of the best characters ever created for any media, movies, television, video games, you name it. Their DLC's were both super fun as well.

[@vladp7405]

What...!? This song is amazing! And breathtaking! (In my opinion ;) But really, it's one of my favourite TW songs. Kind of slow and dynamic at the same time. And as a song finishing the story-telling album it perfectly fits. BTW I think it was actually Pau who was indisposed here. If I'm not mistaken she had been food sick and I think she even was in hospital shortly before this show. And then the already mentioned high elevation, of course...

[@guitarzerotohero9124]

How can you honestly react to this vodeo when you didn't listen to the entire album? This is the last song in a concept album and IMO is a very fitting conclusion to the album, wonderfully written, sung incredibly, and performed masterfully!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Did you read the first sentence you wrote? It's because I didn't listen to it, that I am able to do an honest reaction.

[@guitarzerotohero9124]

@@THEDavidHeretic So what you're saying is your only reacting to the music ... not to the song. IMO the only way you could honestly react to the song is to understand the concept of the album ... realize that it's telling a story ... which without saying ... would require you to listen to all the songs before this one to understand the concept (it is a concept album after all) and how the final song (chapter? ... ending?) completes that concept.

[@atostzolkin]

I do not agree at all in the qualification. I believe that to make a judgment you should investigate the circumstances further so that you are in context. However, I respect your opinion (I insist that you do not share it) because you are always honest and judge through your knowledge and experience. A long BOOOOO for your rating and a big round of applause for your person.

[@artefakto.9yearsago301]

Unlike most here, this is not one of my favorite songs. Conceptually is a very cool album as it starts with Dust to Dust and The End both songs sung by Pau. It comes full circle, it is like an ouroboros, the alchemic serpent that devours itself.

[@tonycook1624]

Great reaction and fair score :) However totally wrong about Dani's singing - you are refering to an entirely different gig. So all your conclusions about "only 2 days to practice" can be scrubbed. In fact at this gig Dani sang the majority of the tracks (as she normally does). Pau always sings this song (she wrote it too)

[@paulhutchinson6552]

I'm in the Warning Army and not mad at all at your score. I think you had it too high. Not their strongest tune but not at all bad. 7.5 is my score. Evolve is their best yet .

[@paulhutchinson6552]

Though I will piss off the rest of the Army because I think that new Metallica cover mama huevos. They did that shit so much better when the bass was taller than Alejandra, Daniela wasn't a woman yet and Kirk Hammett himself said Paulina "kicks maximum ass" and she was only 12. 12! Please do a reaction to Evolve. Either the video version or the live with this dude from Spain called ShaunTrack. Both are kickass.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I've actually already done a reaction video to that song, here's a link to the reaction video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHenlY2Np5hmask

Rips off cranberries zombie in every way.. You could sing it over this song

[@fredbarnes2049]

The pace and the beat are somewhat the same yeah. But that's true of a lot of songs. Cranberries fan myself, and never thought rip off. My opinion, shrugs

[@eljohndoe6109]

awesome song. I give it a 10. Awesome album
