Mushroomhead - The Heresy - REACTION

[@synystervengeance3040]

Jackie is an official member now, basically Waylon and Jeff left and were replace full time by Jackie and the new guy Steve. She is probably gonna have a big role on a few songs as she is considered a full time vocalist for the band now. I also personally like both songs, they are both very reminiscent of their Album XIII. Seen it all is similar to Sun Doesnt Rise where its more a straight rock song where both vocalists go back and forth. The Heresy has the same vibe as One More Day which also had a female singer on it. Its piano heavy, slower but still has a heavy sound to it. Matt Wallace produced this album and he produced XIII as well. The videos were most likely filmed during the pandemic which is why both of them don't feature all the members a bunch or all in the room together. Which is why it shows at most 3 people in the room at a time. Theres still 15 more songs to go and Im still excited. I remember when Qwerty came out and I hated it but ended up loving the rest of the album. Got my signed copy preordered 😁

[@synystervengeance3040]

@Kry Kry Stott Same, I've been getting XIII vibes from both tracks and more XIII style music is awesome in my book.

[@j3kwe]

Album is a definite purchase for me.

[@kev.aka-cool]

No doubt love metal which hits heavy but sometimes it's awesome hearing songs like this. Be safe, Stay excellent!! 🎸⚡⚡⚡

[@GoodDealington]

I just imagine Jeffrey Nothing singing Jacky’s parts and it being a good song. Not a bad song, but it’s not blowing me away like some of the older stuff did lol

[@adog4661]

Damn, might've had the song ruined by imagining Nothing singing this instead

[@superbuickm3xiii]

​@@adog4661 pshht nothing against her (no pun intended) but theres a reason the old albums worked. They were written for two multi fashioned singers- they could not only write lyrics, and sing but they both understood what the song needed. Skinny was able to get the best out of them in a competitive way and pack it all in one song at a time. Like Jeff or not he would have filled those lyrics and helped make up for a lackluster lacuna coil jam in the first place.

[@iamlazarusxx66x6]

There's a lot of meaning behind the song tho. More about a message than anything.

[@GoodDealington]

Phuc Chu It’s not a bad song or anything, the song just sounds like it was written for Jeffrey Nothing to sing over. The melodies would have suit him better, in my opinion. It is what it is though. The new album isn’t my favorite, but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard.

[@shawnzeman129]

Music has to evolve radio play is needed to give them the push they need. Today's music is wildly popular with female fronted bands and guttural growls.

[@Benb998Official]

I am somewhat of a new Mushroomhead fan (found them 2 months ago) and honestly I loved this song. Definitely different from their other tracks and I can understand why some might not like it but it went straight on my Spotify playlist!

[@mroddydawg]

Have not been able to stop listening to this song

[@DanTheGolfer]

Honestly this is a great song and sounds good with her as the main vocalist in this change is good sometimes

[@brsusa8891]

That song is good if you are high and start to walk

[@chrissxix]

bro this creepy-melodic and slower type of songs are really rubbing one me, the simpler yet moody songs have as much effect as a hard hitter imo and are opposite ends of the band in a good way, its all about a constant evolution and experimenting its counter productive to stay the same, still appreciate ur guys reaction thats what its for a reaction

[@frankgonzalez1468]

You probably would love holes in the void on the bsfuc album.

[@sammitchell3657]

I liked it. Think the album will surprise us.

[@Jedithedrummer]

Probably the most in depth review you guys done !

[@icorezx14r]

Im sorry boys, but Jackie's vocals make this song. Im glad shes in for more now!

[@mikelaw5965]

Agreed

[@idnem99]

The songs are earlier in the album and comes after seen it all I believe.

[@Stanley_A._Hunt]

3:59 and 4:09 Spark to the eye!

[@Dogerocket]

i absolutely love them both... im very excited to hear what this album is like

[@kimlayman4742]

Really liked this song. The video was a little slow,but picked up as it went along. This should bring more mainstream fans. I agree, this did not feel like a Mushroomhead song. But all the same, it was still an enjoyable song. This almost felt like a duet than a group song.

[@brandonpuckett4089]

You want the song to sound better? Change the Playback Speed to 1.25x. Seriously... Makes the song so much better!

[@dkev001]

Fucking love this song and video.

[@MetallicaKing48]

Skinny's first was the featured backup harmony in XIII. I guess including Jackie is paying her respects to her passing, if I'm not mistaken?

[@lukeprocopio3584]

I appreciate them experimenting with different sounds, and as a fx artist/ mask maker i was def more grabbed by the song with the video because of Jackie's look (badass) but I did enjoy the calmer nature of the matter of factness of us feeding the war machine, cool message.

[@DraylianKaiju-zy7nc]

The only issue I have with this video along with the Seen It All video is that they're both shot from a single camera angle. I'm a film student and ive done about 6 music videos and while the song of the video is what really drives the video, the shooting style is still important cuz that's what gives the song visual life. Again the video if fine but when you compare the videos for The Heresy and Seen It All to videos for songs like Sun Doesn't Rise and 12 Hundred, the latter just have way more dynamic and they both gave a real signature look and style. The videos for The Heresy and Seen It All incidentally were directed by Skinny and it just felt like he left the camera in one spot with just slow pans and lots of slowmo. Again I'm not hating just voicing my artistic opinion and vibe I got from these 2 videos.

[@Spitfire_2600]

One of my favorites. Ms. Jackie is incredible.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

You guys going to review the new The Ghost Inside album?

[@TwoToeTags]

Might be doing that one next week.

[@oneweirdlife913]

If the album has 17 songs like Tvfish said then they are saving better songs and videos and giving you only this quiet song to prepare you for a big experience explosion. At least I hope. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@crimsonking8811]

We're all going to have to get use to the new sound from mushroomhead. But I still think the album will be good. I can't wait. Thanks for the honest review you guys. 👍

[@stephensivik2337]

It kind of reminded me more of a Lacuna Coil type song than a Mushroomhead song. I don't hate or love it, just 50/50 on it now.

[@corydean5772]

Skinny is a big fan of them I dont want mrh to sound like a mainstream chick band🤦‍♂️

[@joshalan5125]

Same here, I got a mad Lacuna Coil vibe, as well.

[@adamreece9384]

Reminds me of heavens a lie.

[@ECW5320]

I think this video was made during the pandemic, hence why all member aren't in the video.

[@ReekeMoyel]

Love the simultaneous nose scratches!

[@Chigen_Atomic]

Now we just need a vid/song with all three vocalists. Jackie also had a pop-up cameo in Seen It All, akin to what Steve did here. It felt odd not to have all three. All in all, I enjoyed the new song musically but it didn't have the oomph Mushroomhead is known for. They might be holding off and that's what's making me want to get the album. In the hope there's something a bit harder and more MH than this. I'm essentially waiting for another We Are The Truth.

[@tj_hikes]

Give the whole album a listen since it released today. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised

[@jesussgoddess1971]

thanks shannon and chris

[@alabamared2568]

I'm new to 🍄 head..found them a month ago ive seen them on ads on KZbin and I've heard of them but never really listened to them after hearing this song I listened to qwerty cool af but this song actually gave me goosebumps I totally love the look ..I did follow the knot but not they changed there look and got rid of a certain member..they have went down hill in my opinion..well I just found a kickers replacement. Mushroomhead for the win!!!!

[@atomovedin3970]

i personally dig this one, not so much seen it all tune. it's ok but heresy is killer i think, i really dig their keyboards anyways. i'm from around their way so i seen them a lot back in the day.

[@youtubetrollking1880]

Very happy with the new album. It took a couple of listens to appreciate some of the songs. Typical mushroomhead, very eclectic sound throughout, and as much I miss Jeffrey nothing, the new vocalists do a great job.

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Gonna admit... Not the biggest MH fan, but THIS song is fucking great ✌️

[@agres_evo6170]

You guys should check out Currents new album The way it ends it is top tier Metalcore 🤘🤘

[@Jedithedrummer]

J man with the paint

[@politicalgamer9956]

Personally I liked this song sooooo much more than Seen It All, which I think is typical radio trash. Something tells me this song was written while Jeffrey was still in the band and Jackie ended up taking that spot.

[@cylos_mx8524]

I feel like their trying to find something ... I cant quite put my finger on it.

[@jesussgoddess1971]

i did spots in the past...plus its not jackie its shannon...and chris.

[@Car1Sagan]

I dont mind looking at Jackie at all.

[@wmc128]

7/10 ,the message was very thought provoking "we feed the war machine" the song was too slow for my taste and I like acoustic guitars. This MRH era will grow on me for sure.

[@martinplachky9372]

[@Weshighlights24]

Love your reactions! I dig the new Mushroomhead. But miss Jeff’s vocals!

[@glowingmonster]

She doesn't wear a mask cus she's claustrophobic. Kinda made me laugh. Then again I wear masks 24/7 prepandemic anyway, being a monster cosplayer.

[@mikeg2385]

Love the new mushroomhead album. Jackie and steve added to the mix makes it sound good. Of course we miss jeff and all. Ut reality the left they have to make do.

[@DigitalValiance-qv6wf]

I thought it was a good song. Not super mind blowing I dug the costumes and the message they are trying to convey. It was a good change from what they normally do and it does suck that so many good band members left. But hey, we just need to try to accept them for what they've become without their original crew. J-Man has been, gone, and returned, that was good to see. I think she's a great vocalist I can't wait to hear what else she can do with that strong voice of hers.

[@ECW5320]

Think you guys can react to Bacteria by Hide (pronounced he-day)?

[@joshalan5125]

I havent listened to anything Mushroomhead have done since their 2004 album which I thought was pretty mediocre. It looks like I haven't really missed that much. I'm not saying they're terrible, I just personally never thought they were that good either. In other words, "they're just kind of there."

[@TheAnimalhouse96744]

Being a true fan of the band, I think every album they have all sound different. Jackie’s voice is phenomenal and Jmann is still the best at what he does. Yeah it sounds different, but how can they progress by sounding and having the same sound every album?

[@TwoToeTags]

Different =/= good.

[@synystervengeance3040]

@@TwoToeTags Different does not always equal bad either though. The Waylon era was different than the Jmann era and it turned out fine. I think to many people are blowing off a 17 song album because of 2 songs. I can count on one hand the amount of albums I like where every single song on them is good.

[@DrJohnAZoidberg]

its like a modern pop song its so catchy becuse of the repetative chorus

[@darkkinggaming7988]

J man still got it

[@corydean5772]

Ive seen them live 72 times I got a mushroomhead tattoo long before jackie started forcing her way in and now they are no longer unique in sound but now they sound like every other chick metal band!

[@cwosbyjones1550]

my only complaint is it takes too long to start

[@synystervengeance3040]

The first 2 minutes of the video aren't actually part of the song. If you listen to the album version its actually only 4 minutes long and kicks right off.

we don’t really get good music video visuals anymore so it’s a plus

Jackie and Jmann sound good together. But. I wish they had the other guy Steve song too.

[@MoSweiti666]

I'm a bit disappointed about this song. :\ However Jeffrey Nothing released a new song (Never Enough) a few days ago, it's freaking heavy! Please react to it, guys!

[@WillsonT011]

Nobody can deny that J.Nothing can still do music, the problem with him is, can he sing it "live" without too much backplay.

[@mattclover431]

Again, decent, but doesn’t even sound like Mushroomhead. I’m hoping these are “lesser” songs and we’re gonna get heavy hitters once it drops.

[@randystull1502]

Blame skinny for jackie being the lead vocal.....only reason she is even there. She's cool and all but has created so much dissention. Waiting to hear more before I can say yes or no

[@BREN153]

Jmann kinda screwed up the vibe of the song if it was just her it would have been amazing

[@nemesis8140]

This song literally put me to ZZZZ it's so boring worse decision was adding Jacky to the band imo

[@toltaldominationx7183]

3 out of 10 for me. Then again Mushroomhead is a hit or miss band for me.

[@stolenhal0]

i didn't hate it but it was just meh

[@jsincreel6085]

Lyrically repetitive, guitars lacking , too much Jackie ..She is the yoko ono of mushroomhead ...Nothing is definitely missed ..Maybe with them being on a major label Skinny won't fire anyone else..
