The song was written in response to internet haters who gave Sam lots of grief that they no longer kept to their early formula of 2010 metalcore, as said in he song he received actual threats. So they put as much of everything they have ever done in the song (including the steroetypical blegh) so to say "Are you Happy Now?" to these keyboard warriors. Think they have well and truly raised the middle finger BUT still produced an absolute banger to do it.

[@badgasaurus4211]

People still won’t be pleased. Always have whiny fans

[@infamousinferno2506]

They did the same shit to BMTH and that band responded the same way with not one, but two songs.

[@coldmoonlight6361]

The fact that they used children for the choir give me a good chuckle. It's a subtle, but funny jab at those people.

[@theopinson3851]

Ironically they also wrote their best song in the process since Holy Hell lol

[@NoobMicesters]

I also love the defintely intentionally fake out at the start, where they go heavy, then immediately into their new lighter electronic stuff, as a bait out and then immediately drop it and go back to the heavy

[@ScrewNickk]

Architects needs a Grammy ffs this is a masterpiece

[@Nattu100]

Don't know why would they need more grandmothers but I guess that would be nice.

[@TheDudeOnTheDrums]

Within 20 seconds we have incredible pitch screams, guitar scrapes, tasty lows, beautiful metalcore chugs, a pop-core chant and an almost sarcastically over the top blegh. Absolutely exceptional work from the lads.

[@SeventhCircle77]

"Are you happy now?" I actually am this bangs

[@hippywill]

but if you read the lyrics the song is meant to be sarcastic poking fun at the fans hating on them.

[@hippywill]

@@SeventhCircle77 ya but thats about how people have been hating on him for not adding the blegh to his songs any more

[@AT-mv2mr]

This is one of the best written songs from a Metal band IMO, and I'm into the *heavier* dimension of the genre. @12:55 - back to the chorus is so _damn_ _CATCHY_ And @14:51 back the chorus.. *GENIUS* These guys know how to write

[@d.hodgsky]

Love it! Perfect combo of old and new Architects! 👌 ❤ Sam's voice is so underrated, one of my all time fav vocalists. Also love the not so subtle "eff you" to all the haters haha

[@philippruizlozano]

After years of watching videos about fry screaming you just turned something in my head in the first 3 minutes to finally let me understand it hahaha so it's what happens between falsetto and head voice, that little zone is what they use. This is amazing man. Thank you so much.

[@chrisliepe]

YES YES YES

[@Gee-no]

You're the best Chris. Keep up the great work, bro.

[@naDalous]

Sam is probably the most underrated vocalist in the metal scene. I absolutely love his range. Deep growls to higher pitch cleans, so talented

[@luka_6669]

He's my favourite vocalist too, but I don't think Sam is underrated tbh. Pretty much everybody in the scene knows that he's an exceptional talent even if some people don't like his style of singing

[@michaelwolf5773]

definitely not underrated. he is MASSIVELY appreciated for his voice and tunes

[@DrayNoR1]

I like architects and is not my favorite band, but sam for me is one of the best metalcore vocalist, with noah sebastian

[@Jacksonscarberry101]

There is nothing underrated about sam🤣🤣🤣 he practically invented the genre. Lol

[@Gee-no]

@@naDalous he is amazing but Spencer Sotelo is the GOAT in my opinion. I love Sam though.

[@modern_misery]

It's always very exciting to watch your reactions Chris. You keep it interesting, fun and most importantly you bless us with your knowledge. Very refreshing to see a reaction channel that's not shallow but instead provides a meaningful vocal analysis without ever getting boring. Much love!

[@sgordon57xx]

Never really listened to architects til this year and holy fuck. They're so mesmerizing to listen to because the entire band is full of great musicians. Soo talented and this song is a certified banger. In my top 2 or 3 songs of the year, for sure!

[@ewanmartin7712]

Watched the music video yesterday, turned to my partner and said "Chris Liepe reaction incoming" I was not disappointed

[@draigaur9543]

loving that your appreciation of any music genre ,helps me appreciate them more !

[@TWProductions90]

On a side note, I think you'd do great as a voice actor with how you demonstrate these sounds.

[@chrisliepe]

:) I've done some voice acting! I really enjoy it!

[@pph3767]

Thanks for the bobcat goldthwait impressions

[@t.almwood3010]

The Chester Bennington hommage - can't be missed.

[@NexTakenouchi]

I love excited you get over... everything. Always interesting reactions, and I learn something every time. I'll be honest, this is the first song from them I've heard (I lived in a cave for 10 years, lol, jk, but that's what it felt like). After listening to a few songs, definitely enjoy their music.

[@Michaelspyt]

Found your channel a week ago and absolutely fell in love with your videos 👀

[@chrisliepe]

Yay! Thank you! Glad you're enjoying!!

[@DaddyDoodleDay]

This analysis is amazing 😂

[@TrueEmergency]

Hell, this song has so much to dissect. Chills couldn't leave ´till the masterpiece was over.

[@thatdudederek1070]

Right before you mentioned Chester, I was thinking that too.

[@Fatalistic_Viking]

It would be awesome if you reacted and analyzed ONE OK ROCKs heavier song "Deeper Deeper" live at Yokohama stadium Mighty Long Fall tour. The way Take What you Want by showed you Taka's dynamic range, versatility, and emotion when he sings ballads, Deeper Deeper does the same thing but on the other side of the spectrum. Taka's harsh vocals are truly amazing. It's incredible how much he sounds like Chester Bennington in this performance.

[@chrisliepe]

OK... I'll do it! Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm excited!

[@Fatalistic_Viking]

@@chrisliepe I can't wait to see what you think. There are so many OOR songs worth checking out it's crazy. Taka raps in one. There are several performances where he sings perfectly while running, jumping, and headbanging. There's a song called Nobody's Home that everyone has to see because it's so personal to Taka almost broke down crying and stopped singing during the second chorus.

[@BaSiL_VS]

@@Fatalistic_Viking the one in Yokohama Arena 2012 right? "Zankyo Reference" IN YOKOHAMA ARENA 2012 right? oh and THIS IS MY BUDOKAN?! 2010 as well

[@Fatalistic_Viking]

@@BaSiL_VS yes that's the one. It's the 2012 Niche Syndrome tour. The OST where you can see Taka with tears in his eyes and really screaming during the woah makes me tear up a bit. If you watch the concert video when they're walking off stage you can see Tomoya consoling Taka. I'm really hoping that they recorded the OOR vs My first story concert. Taka performed the song with his brothers and it's just as emotional.

[@invu4834]

I would love if you could do a video on Jesse Hasek from 10 Years.

[@Nattu100]

Hi Chris! As you mentioned how you like layers in this song, you should check out band called Brand of Sacrifice. My favorite song from them is Between Death and Dreams.

[@この太郎-y2z]

It's probably the most favorite Sout band I've ever heard😊 It's the first band I've seen, but is it popular overseas? I'm addicted lol（╹◡╹） Very coool✨

[@craftiseternal]

Chris you need to react to Depeche Mode and some of there stuff. Phenomenal group, I think you'd like them a lot.

[@leeson865]

Nice one Chris. I'd love to see you analyse Amity Affliction's Ivy (Doomsday) - the pitched screams in there are very interesting and I've not seen anyone else use the same technique.

[@ryan856]

STARSET - Unbecoming live performance please

[@ikrnagexii8748]

Hey, I would love to see you reacting to "Valentine" by Maneskin or other Maneskin songs because I think you could say a lot about the lead singer (Damiano David) voice. Anyway, great content as always man!

[@smash_adams]

Matt Baird of Spoken would be a really good vocalist to check out sometime. The song Through it all has a really cool bridge vocally where he gets really gritty and has incredible power and range.

[@Z3r01ne]

I suggest you analyse something from Secret Band's "LP2". Their vocalist has sick melodic screams

[@smash_adams]

Jon mess!

[@AndyBarkerBass]

Please react to some Enter Shikari, Rou is a master at multiple voices and singing styles, arguing with thermometers is a great song, so is the last garrison

[@DanschersHiggi]

Hey Chris, i like this typ of reaction. Can you do something about Of Mice & Men? Like Obsolet, Into the Sun, Castaway .. something like this. In my opinion Aaron Pauley is a Top 5 Metal-Vocalist

[@fabianschweitzer]

While I listen to a lot of Architects also, I find that you can only digest little bits of this sound at a time. Like oftentimes one track and then I have enough for a while 😂. I think that’s because of what you were saying, sometimes there is almost too much going on.

[@tartaglia..1473]

I REALLY LOVE ADO AND YOUR REACTIONS OF HER VOICE!!! Well, you already reacted to the God of Freedom, Ado! I would REALLY LOVE if you react to the God of the Mixed Voice and high pitched one, Mafumafu!!! I recomend you to use this songs to react because in those songs it's his TRUE POTENTIAL: -Non-Breath Oblige -Umaretta Imi Nado Nakatta -Kamisama no Idenshi -Ototoi Kiyagare I PERSONALLY RECOMEND A LOT NON-BREATH OBLIGE AND KAMISAMA NO IDENSHI BECAUSE IT HAVES A LOT OF VARIETY TOO!! I REALLY HOPE YOU TO DO IT, I WOULD BE REALLY GREATFULL IF YOU DO!!! (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♡

[@inspektorgadget1129]

sam is clearly one if not the most talented screamer

[@1800screwthem]

BLEH! 🤢🥵 we love

[@cades.clips101]

Hey Chris, what earplugs can I wear to protect my hearing on stage with a band but also be able to hear myself without sounding different thinking my inside voice is my outside voice

[@chrisliepe]

Best is molded in-ear monitors... so you can hear the music and your voice directly while blocking out the loudness from the PA!

[@frankunodostres473]

on a technical level this song is amazing. but listening to it is a bit uncomfortable for me. sam is clearly upset with big parts of his band's fanbase and that makes me sad :(

[@CellarStudioProductions]

I think I wouldn't be too amused if I were in Sam's position. Fans have a ridiculous sense of entitlement these days.

[@frankunodostres473]

@@CellarStudioProductions one one hand I agree and hateful/disrespectful comments or reactions are never necessary or helpful. on the other hand art is subjective and every is allowed to like or dislike what they want... the theme of the song is a clear fuck you to those entitled fans. but musically it's their heaviest work in a long time. so the fans who gave them shit for not being heavy got "rewarded" in a way with this kickass song. this is why I'm a bit torn^^

[@thewanderingwolf7116]

@@frankunodostres473 yes everyone can have their opinion, but some fans go too far with how vocal they are about how much they hate the new sound. Sam and the band are only humans and I'm sure it wears on them mentally.

[@StuartJM]

Great video, but man, you demonstrating vocal techniques is SOOO much louder than anything else in the video. Was watching this while working and had to keep flicking back to turn it down every time you demonstrated a vocal technique xD

[@chrisliepe]

Sorry about that

[@crimson4002]

Could you break down Ayron Jones blood in the water,pls 🙏

[@vitokosa]

Can you review anthony green doing get out?

PLEASE REACT TO "ADO - NEW GENESIS"!!! 😍🔥💕

[@ArtmArtVoice]

Good breakdown, but Sam uses not the same technic to create grit in his voice, what Chester used

[@chrisliepe]

He uses some of the same techniques in both his distorted singing and in his pitch screaming... But he does also have some different approaches.

[@ArtmArtVoice]

@@chrisliepe if u interested I can show you differences live)

[@zhongyanli2659]

I thought this was BMTH lol

[@davidcwk01]

All the architects gatekeepers (yes they really do exist unfortunately) have been quiet since this dropped

[@mentalmonk3y479]

It's not unbelievably heavy though. Sure some moments are deep and guttural but it's not unbelievably heavy. These bands are all turning into a BMTH clone, wanting some sort of main stream attention with their soft chorus like sections and the odd deep growl. I want songs from albums like 'Nightmares' 'In the library of Horrific events' and 'This is what the edge of your seat was made for'. This is just boring imo

[@rirukki]

no, its not boring, its something new and bmth started it.
