Why hasn't White Reaper broken into the top 40? It's criminal. Their mix of pop and rock is unheard of these days.

"Might Be Right" definitely broke pretty big, I've heard it in at least a couple public space mix soundtracks

They're like Delta Spirit, great songwriting but they're a rock band, not pop or trap or whatever's more popular these days
@twillymantheoneandonly5587 Жыл бұрын
@Adderon great comparison! I remember seeing the Motivation Music video back in 2005 or 2006. I thought Delta Spirit would be huge. There were so many of those early indie 2000s bands that couldn't figure out how to break out. The main difference with White Reaper is, theres not that many bands like them, compared to the rock rival indie boom of the early 2000s. Some people say, "they're generic." But that's over-simplify. They channel sounds from 70s power pop, 90s alternative and early 2000s bands on a way that they sound familiar, not generic. It reminds me of Free Energy's "Stuck on Nothing." Imo, that's one of the greatest power pop albums of the last 30 years. Yeah, Free Energy's follow-up album is missed in a big way. But i think they were also oversimplified as generic by music critics. It was misrepresented because of its familiarity with other great bands.

it's basically power-pop, which is a subgenre which has featured some of the catchiest, most satisfying rock music ever but for some strange reason hasn't produced tons of real big hits.
@JS-kb4im Жыл бұрын
It’s because the production on power pop lacks an authenticity vibe. It’s slickly produced. Layered vocals, perfect harmonies. Imagine a late 70s Tom Petty production level, and I think they might resonate with more people.

What a hidden gem in this day and age, just two guitars keyboard, bass and drums..no computers, auto tune ect..it’s like the late 90’s early 2000’, back when we still had real music. Bands like these are hard to find over the past 15-20 years.

Whilst I agree with you here about music like this being hard to find today, I hate to burst your bubble, but auto tune is used on everything you listen to music wise. I used to record a ton, had 2 bands signed to some pretty big indie labels back in the early 2000’s. Every singer, band, and album uses auto tune. No one is ever 100% on pitch with their vocals unless you’re Celine Deon or Mariah Carrey, and even they use it. But Cher introduced using auto tune where they pitch the vocals up and down and gives that stupid effect that I assume you’re talking about. And plenty of bands back then also used computers to play backing tracks and click tracks to keep on time live. Just because you use these things doesn’t mean you’re not real musicians. Sorry for the long reply, no way to say it in a short sentence.
@johnnywildyu6 ай бұрын
are we listening to the same song? there's so much autotune. I mean I love it & wouldn't change a thing, but it's definitely there.
@michaelosullivan84505 ай бұрын
You don’t have to apologize for your response being long, just being asinine. I’m not talking about using auto tune to edit and produce the music. I’m referring to individual artist whom just use computers to generate their music. They provide the vocals there is no actual real music being played with their lyrics. Every song uses auto tune to some extent but a lot of modern music is just computer generated. You missed the point I was conveying.

Lyrics I took a walk back then I had a moment thinking how it's been Between you and me, my dear And we can make it for another year I guess maybe I don't care I wrote it in my diary And all my word is true I even tore out all the pages about you And now I pass 'em out To every stranger on the street that walks on by So I can move along And maybe sleep tonight without me wondering Why are things so complicated? Sensitive and intricate I can't wake up, now I'm feeling petty So I tore them all out And things are colder here Another night that I can walk into alone It makes so much sense The kind of weather you can feel it in your bones And now I'm cracking a smile To every stranger on the street that walks on by So I can move along I get to bed tonight without me wondering Why were things so complicated Sensitive and intricate I can't believe how long I've waited I can't believe how long I've waited I tore out all the pages I tore out all the pages I tore out all the pages I tore them all out I tore them all out I tore them all out

It’s got a perfect mix of tidiness and chaos, rawness with pop sensibility…to top it off you have the catchy melody and lyrics. Everything is on point. It all adds up to produce that classic, undeniable White Reaper energy. We’re all very lucky as rock fans to have such an awesome band around. A joy to hear and see a new song with accompanying video. Stoked for this album!

I turned 60 this past year. I guess I'm officially an old man now. I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Rush...among others. (Played drums in a band you've never heard of) Anyway... I fucking LOVE this song. There's something about the combination of musicianship, energy, and simplistically honest lyrics that shoots this song into that timeless universe of great songs. Also...harmonizing in rock songs is a lost and precious art. And when it's done well, it's a gift from the gods. Have I mentioned I fucking LOVE this song? I've listened to it 8 times in the past half hour. The energy reminds me a little of the The Romantics. It's also slightly reminiscent of Third Eye Blind. But it's definitely original. Fucking love this song.
