I have watched several reviews of Jinjer - Pices. I have played drums, Bass, Guitar and Piano for around 38 years. Listening to you take the time to have actual musical input when you stopped and commented was actually quite different than most others. Your insight to understanding the subtitles within the structure of the song was very well placed. As musicians, I believe it is almost natural to find the faults or deficiencies in other players or bands. Also most people who listen and review almost never have an actual musical foundation on which to base their input. By far, you have presented one of the most informative and factual reviews that I have seen to date. Well done!!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Very kind of you to take the time to share your thoughts on my video. It means a lot, I really appreciate it. I'm not quite at your figure yet, but I've been playing piano for 31 years and drums/guitar for nearly as long even though my drumming has taken a back seat in recent years. I live and breathe music and have also taught piano professionally for nearly 20 years now. It brings me satisfaction to know that some others, like yourself, are enjoying what I'm doing here with my reactions. I am toying with the idea of doing some Review type videos too, of music I've previously heard and explaining why I enjoy it. Thank you. 😊👍

Simone Pluijmers ex Cerebral Bore is the Queen of extreme female vocals, I guess Tatiana is more well rounded though as I have never heard, Som, sing any other genres.

[@eqgilethan]

I love Jinjer reactions by musical professionals. I may have heard the song 100 or more times, but I can still learn something. As others have said, Tatiana has voiced her admiration of Mikael Akerfeldt, and Jinjer's bassist Eugene has many times stated Opeth is his favorite band. However, Tatiana's first inspiration to learn what she calls her 'extreme' vocals came in her mid teens after hearing Otep Shamaya and her band, Otep. She assumed they had two singers, a woman for the cleans and a guy to growl and was shocked when a friend told her the woman is their only vocalist. I find it amusing that Tatiana is now making others think that same thing with her performances. After you've heard a few of their songs though, you'll discover their influences are very diverse and from a number of different genres. In case you've not looked them up, they are from Ukraine, with Tatiana, Eugene, and Roman (guitar) being from Eastern Ukraine, so their first language is Russian. I believe drummer Vlad is from Western Ukraine. All four are fluent in Russian, Ukrainian and English. I believe they have only one song that's entirely in Russian (and also entirely in growls) and one off their last album that has parts in Russian. To my knowledge everything else they've released is in English.

[@whrussy]

Cant help but laugh with tears in my eyes every time I watch this because watching people realize what they've been missing in Jinjer for the first time is always an emotional experience. Especially fellow musicians who know exactly what kind of hidden talent is laying within these 4.

[@glebivanov6323]

Great reaction, thanks. There's so called "Jinjer rabbit hole" and "Pisces" is not just a song - it's a common entrance to that hole. It's a deep hole. I personally know a lot of reaction channels with dozens of reactions to Jinjer's songs. And that hole is a tricky labyrinth. If you'll move deeper you'll find there lots unexpected things and there's no proper way which song you should choose next. It depends on your personal preferences and Jinjer can satisfy lots of the preferences variations. Musical skills of the band are obvious but I'd like to ask you to pay attention to lyrics of the band. It's really deep, clever and poetic, dispite the fact that English is the third Tatiana's language (the singer and main lyricist of the band). Pisces is a good example of her writing skills. She is a Pisces (today is her birthday actually) and she sings about herself but also about the duality of human nature. I'd say each of her lyrics has a message and it worth to be heard.

[@JWSoundworks2]

I'm definitely looking forward to more from Jinjer. I will definitely delve into the lyrics. My brain always analyses and takes in harmony/melody etc. first by default. It's been like that forever now, I can't help it. But one of the benefits of repeated listening for me is to finally get into the lyrics! 😊🤘

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks Valerie!

[@macthegov]

That is the traditional order, but I would suggest doing Teacher Teacher (ov) next...a great mix of the band's talent with a wide range of Tati's skills. Then, go to the Who's Gonna Be the One live to hear Tati growl through most of the song. And then, do the Perennial live at Wacken. The reason I like that order is you get to see a lot of aspects of both the band and Tati's vocals, and then in Perennial, you not only hear some seriously tight musicianship (and Eugene tearing it up), but...how do I say this without giving anything away...lets just say, if you thought Tatiana was amazing up til this point, just wait. And, then do the Judgement and Punishment one-take, cuz it's just so cool.

[@MattKrogmeier]

I fell down the Jinjer rabbit hole a couple years ago. I was always averse to growling in vocals. Avatar was the first band that got me to actually listen to that style, and Jinjer sealed the deal. Eugene (the bass player) has done a number of Zoom interviews with reaction channels - The Music Shed did a GREAT three part interview that is well worth checking out. I messaged Eugene on Facebook after that interview and asked him for a good starting point if I wanted to check out Opeth, and he immediately said "Deliverance." Through that recommendation, I also listened to "Damnation" and now I'm a fan of Opeth too! There is also a great video of Eugene and Roman (the guitarist) playing Pisces with just the drum accompaniment (no vocals) - so you will be able to see what you are identifying as the keyboard is actually just Eugene's two-handed tapping technique. Cheers, and welcome to the Jinjer Army!

[@jazoon7249]

Opeth is the bassist's Eugene's favorite band, so he would be honored by your reaction.

[@JWSoundworks2]

He has good taste! 😁🤘

[@barefootalien]

So what you were perceiving as a keyboard part was Roman doing a backing track on guitar. Jinjer used to be a bigger band, with a second guitar player. When they went down to a three-piece (plus vocals) they still had to play their older stuff, including Pisces, so they use backing tracks on Vlad's laptop. Since they do that anyway, they are thus not shy about using extra compositional elements in their songs, both studio versions and live as well. And of course, this has _tons_ of extra production on it, including doubled vocal tracks in many places.

The structure, the guitar modulations and melodies, the drums full of ghostnotes, Martin Mendez's bass doing those taps and sustains and of course, Tatiana's voice changes are nailed to Mikael's...they are very good, but you can see perfectly where they suckled from.

No surprise that you're getting Opeth vibes, it's what got Tati into doing growling. More of the band members have mentioned them as an inspiration as well. You're going to love this journey of discovery, since this is a very diverse band with four seriously talented musicians. Without it ever being the intent, Picses has become sort of a portal into the bands catalogue. It was recorded to show off the drummer Vlad, who plays it quite differently from the drummer he replaced. I am sure you will get a lot of requests, but I have always agreed with most other people that Perennial live at Wacken Open Air is a good 2nd song to do. After that you can pick pretty much anything, since all their songs are good, some are even better live than the record version, imho. You won't get any prog length songs, even though I pretty much put them in the prog genre of metal, or at least very close. I think "I speak Astronomy" is one of their longest. The official video of that one is great, and that's recorded with Dimitriy Kim who was their 4th drummer. Vlad is their 5th, but the one who's stayed for the longest period of time, since 2016. Loved your reaction and all the comments, subbed.

Good Luck!

First watch, new subscriber here. I watch Jinjer reactions to watch faces twist up. I like the way you break things down and almost felt bad when she mutated. Yes, your face twisted up with righteous appreciation. Good stuff.

[@Mandorallen1978]

I watched serveral reviews of pisces but you're the only one so far that would announced the "influence" of opeth that's exactly the same that i tought when i hear this song for the first time....good job as everytime👍🏻

[@themadcadder4847]

I know that this is old. I love Jinjer. It made me so happy that you heard Opeth undertones & you named 1 of my favorite songs & favorite album by them. I heard Opeth the 1st time I ever heard this song. I had a huge Opeth phase it was the only thing I listened to for awhile. GHOST REVERIES...YES!!!

[@regorf]

Nice spot about the Opeth influence. Tati has said in a recent interview that Opeth was the band that made her want to do growls when she was in high school, afaik, she recently hit her 30s, so there's for sure early Opeth in Tati's vocals.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks! Early Opeth is where it's at! Everything upto Blackwater Park is sheer perfection to me, still love their stuff afterwards too, but those were their golden years, imo. 🤘

[@chriswicecarver3715]

Welcome! This is a great start. But there is so much more to Jinjer. Teacher, teacher (official), Who's Gonna be the One (Live), Perennial (Live), Introspection (official), and Home Back (official) are all top tier. You really can't go wrong with Jinjer. One of the best things...to me..is that the sound as good Live as they do in official music videos. Some bands live either take off on a tangent or just don't produce the same quality. Jinjer does - consistently. ------------------ Another suggestion I would make is to check out the lyrics too. There's deep levels of thought in this stuff. This is where a 10 outshines a 9....the complete production.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thank you! The quality throughout is really apparent here. Incredible stuff. Good call on the lyrics, too. They're usually a secondary or even tertiary thing for me as a musician. But I will definitely look into them on repeated listens. 🤘

[@gruslava]

I would highly recommend their performance of "Perennial" (live at Wacken Open Air 2019)

[@JWSoundworks2]

Filmed it today - will be up later this week. 👍🤘

[@stylebook6503]

Incredible reaction, your physical responses (stank face and such) and concise commentary are why I subbed. .I recommend “Teacher Teacher” next.. Keep it up! Peace. ✌🏼 Can’t wait for the TOOL / APC / PUSCIFER rabbit hole.

[@enki4589]

Such a great band!!! Great reaction!

[@Rustee42]

You got the Opeth connection spot on. They experiment with so many styles. A superb band.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Cheers dude, I've since done quite a few Jinjer videos now and recently just finished doing every song from Wallflowers too! 🤘

[@BucketOfFail]

I know I am really late to this video but it was a great reaction. I used to watch every reaction to this I could find, but now I will only watch the reactions from music professionals. I the person reacting doesn't know music they almost never understand how amazing the entire band is.

[@martinehermans6661]

Yesss I am enjoying your reactions, love your facial expressions, they remind me of Rinus Gerritsen, (can't imagine you not knowing him for he's been around for over 5 decades, but just in case, bassplayer of The Golden Earring). I've seen so many reactions to Jinjer (always with goosebumps) but yours is the best, I'll listen one more time.. :-)))))

[@JWSoundworks2]

Very kind of you. Thank you. I know of the band Golden Earring but not so much as to know the bassist!

[@christianbinder8409]

I loved your Opeth comparisson becuase thats exactly what the part after the secon chorus reminds me of

[@FEFwest]

Tatiana had 15.3. Birthday, she is in zodiac Pisces, she write all the lyrics, she is amazing ))) best moment for reacting video, hihi, good job

[@goncalocarvalho4917]

great reaction, awesome band

[@Dee-ih2yf]

Finally, a reactor who knows what he is talking about! You'll love your Jinjer journey. Might want to start in the earlier years with "Cloud Factory" or "Who's Gonna Be The One", both live. But work up to anything from LIVE IN KIEV" (key-ev) such as "Pit of Consciousness", "Retrospection", or "On The Top".

[@blindbubba9001]

...nice reaction and comments...the jinjer army will be stopping by to give you all kinds of friendly info and requests.... "perennial" live from wacken will be in the mix...this band is insane cuz....please do more..dig your comments...subbin...thanks...peace....

[@JWSoundworks2]

Loved it right across the board! Stunning! Thanks. 👌

[@roadkill7314]

Nice reaction. Wait til you see them live! Subbed.

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thanks, just filmed Perennial live yesterday - going up later this week!

[@GRIMRPR6942]

"NO NO I WANT MORE....." thats what we all say LOL

[@JWSoundworks2]

😂🤘

[@1gruntusmc]

Subscribed from this reaction! Excellent job 👏

[@JWSoundworks2]

Welcome aboard! Thank you :)

[@housemansson]

Not sure if anybody´s mentioned it but in the bridge, starting at around 9:30, they have layered whispers on top of her singing. Very nice touch.

[@UnexpectedTurnOfEvents]

You're the first reactor I hear that mentions early Opeth's similarities. You're right, of course!

[@johnnybravo5670]

Nice reaction....always good to watch someone who understands and appreciates what's going on. Subbed. I see you've already had a bunch of comments suggesting other songs. Can't disagree with any of the suggestions, however, would love to get your take on "Ape" - it's a short song but a wild ride for sure. Also, "Teacher, Teacher", "Pit of Consciousness", "Just Another", etc.....

[@johndeeregreen4592]

The guitarist is playing a modified A minor chord 1 octave higher, while droning the open A string. But, the bassist is using tapping techniques to capture the lower octave the guitarist is missing. This is how they achieve that piano sound.

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

You need to see them live there's a lot of live videos of Jinjer. Live in Melbourne and live in kiev are the most popular ones this band is special next level stuff enjoy the jinjer rabbit hole. They infuse many different types of music into their sound and it all works well. Older jinjer is more metal core than the newer stuff. This band brought me back to metal after a hiatus exploring other music. Glad to see you enjoying one of my favorite bands. The line up has changed a few times but Tatiana The singer Eugene the bassest and Roman the guitarist have been the core of the band for the last few years. This video was made to show off Vlad's drumming style. Side note Vlad is a classically trained peanist as well . Peace from Stan the Alaskan. Just subbed 😁.

[@LasseHolmqvist-y5k]

Really like your Opeth comparison ! Right On!

[@timprice5747]

Happy birthday to Tati. No keyboards, just Eugene doing Eugene things on bass. Might try Teacher Teacher, Perineal live at Wacken, or Homeback.....but really you can't miss with any of their songs.
