[@WyattStav]

I honestly wish I had of said more in this reaction... Because I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG! haha. Possibly my fav off the record.... Enjoy my conent? Support the channel - Patreon.com/WyattStav

[@mrlarry1183]

Easily one of my favorite motionless in white tracks! This shit is sick!! Great reaction 🤟😈🤟

[@cryogenocide]

The lyrics make this my song of the year. ❤🤘

[@mrlarry1183]

@Wyatt Stav you're gonna lose your shit when you hear another life. There's so much pain in Chris's voice

[@azriphale9967]

I really love that you *didnt* say as much on this song because the lyrics are so heavy. I understand that you're a drummer so you're listening for that, but I love music for the lyrics first. I feel that sometimes you miss that aspect - especially with "Thoughts and Prayers" because that was brutal and in your face with the message.

[@toyotaecw]

My favorite song by far, best MIW record so far... but they’re still a guilty pleasure band. AngelMaker ‘s new album is album of the year followed by Whitechapel... and both Thy Art and Carnifex have projects coming 🤘🤘

[@pikapika1041]

Idk if it's just me but I feel like Disguise is more "raw" then all the other albums like it has more emotion then all the other albums

[@mrlarry1183]

I feel it! Especially with tracks like another life, holding on to smoke, and thoughts and prayers

[@pikapika1041]

larry stambaugh FYM oh yea definitely for me holding on to smoke and another life hit hard for me lol like don't get me wrong I absolutely love the songs just hits close to home

[@nashgross8658]

Chris said that this album is a trying alot more then the other album to capture his feelings

[@lorenchee1971]

Right I agree with you but time of Grace is awesome as well kik ass band 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@yeetimusprime415]

You can call it emo, it’s very emo, but it’s also amazing

[@ShaggyFox]

My favourite song from the album, played it on repeat so often.

[@Missouri1256]

I still do

[@Antonio-dw5tg]

this is my fav, it just hits the spot with lyrics also, been waiting for this reaction to drop, it was good, i can go to sleep now

[@masonnoyes3966]

This song is just so beautiful it fr fr makes me blush and tear up hearing all the emotions and passion and thought in chris’ vocals

[@spideypool8868]

It’s my favorite song off the album, as well as Another Life. There’s so much raw emotion in both tracks. I’d love to know his influence to both those songs. And to note Thoughts and Prayers, it’s definitely my third favorite. It hits hard which in my opinion shows how much diversity he has in this album. Chris is truly talented

[@collingarvey3008]

This was the first song that I listened to when the album came out and I said "that's Breaking Benjamin" Haha love it though! 🤘

[@peac2397]

"I love Breaking Benjamin" Instantly smashed like

[@WyattStav]

Perfect. :D

[@AustinBruce09]

This song really is sooo good! I agree with the Breaking Benjamin similarities! Im seeing breaking benjamin, chevelle, and three days grace in a couple months. Cant wait 😍

[@WyattStav]

Thats awesome! also I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH TOO!!! I think that like... i didnt talk much cuz i was too taken back haha !!! Also I hope you enjoyed the love stream today brother :D

[@AustinBruce09]

Wyatt Stav thats what I was thinking when I read your comment! Haha. Its just one of those captivating songs you sit and listen to! The live stream was super fun man! Ill be watching more for sure!

[@austinporche6504]

Definitely sounds like “I will not bow”

[@zemino7able]

Fav song off Disguise! So much emotion on this album, love it!

[@ryanclark6506]

I’ve been listening to MIW ever since I could remember, and every record never disappoints, Chris’s writing is like nothing else, never writes a bad lyrics, their Choruses are always insane and catchy, MIW never disappoint, disguise is one of my favourite records.... can’t wait for 2020 MIW

[@scottmoore6642]

SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT! IVE BEEN SAYING THIS RECORD REMINDS ME OF BREAKING BEN! Hell yeah.

[@damianthayer5988]

Same here, i was listening to it in the car earlier and was hit with mad Breaking Benjamin vibes.

[@victorpaquet756]

It’s the same chorus as I will not bow from breaking Benjamin

[@hydradestroyer1193]

For the first yeah this like Breaking benjamin but at the same time this like architect too

[@Hessian247]

This is my favorite song on the whole album. So painful but liberating

[@TylerCookdrums]

i may bend but i won't break! keep pumping it out brother

[@WyattStav]

Thanks man! :D I hope you enjoyed!

[@browniesghost4934]

This is by far my favorite song on the album. It has some major Breaking Benjamin vibes (which I love Breaking Benjamin). It honestly has fought it's way up to my top favorites from the band. Love watching the videos so far dude! Excited to hear your thoughts about the rest!

[@inessajanzen844]

It's also one of my favourites. This album is just amazing!!🔥

[@Kirkintop]

Commenting on this reaction vid because you mentioned Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin...Wyatt, I haven't watched a whole lot of your videos, mainly just your reactions to this album and a few drum covers, but the aforementioned bands are the exact 2 bands i listened to that led to my MIW fandom. Sick we got a similar music taste, probably gonna watch more of your reactions to other bands and see what else piques my interest. On another note, this is, without a doubt, my all time favorite album because of the meaning behind my favorite songs, mainly Disguise, and the period of my life I was going through when I discovered the album. Disguise was the song that kind of made me put my foot down, stop lying to myself and take back control of my life so even though i know every word and my steering wheel is probably tired of my shitty drumming, thats my fucking jam and its refreshing as all hell to be able to enjoy the same music as someone else (idk anyone personally who listens to MIW). Top 3 songs on Disguise imo: 1. Disguise 2. Thoughts and Prayers 3. Holding on to Smoke/Another Life Torn between those last 2. Anyway, I know im 4, almost 5 years late to seeing this video, but keep doing your thing man. Definitely subbing

[@morgan0805]

the faint scream you hear in the chorus of holding on to smoke reminds me of the scream in hopeless by breaking benjamin, maybe that’s what you were thinking of? the scream reminded me of that but the whole sound reminds me of a mix of breaking benjamin songs.

[@yghostly]

Im so glad you mention breaking benjamin this is the reason why holding on to smoke is my fav song of the album!!

[@oscaryanezzavala]

Same man

[@rileyjohnson1677]

I swear to god that was Ben screaming in the bridge😂😂

[@jamesshilling3063]

Omg it's not just me 😂

[@joshbolen8046]

My favorite song off the album hands down. Been listening to this type of music for as long as I can Remember and it’s by far my favorite.

[@somedogsarecops2354]

This is definitely the best out of the radio rock songs on this album.

[@valkyrieascends526]

Favorite song on the album for sure, for the sound and the lyrics both. Keep doin these reacts man, like every song on this record youve just got this pure joy on your face and its infectious. Also gotta say youre a fuckin awesome drummer, keep tearin it up man!!

[@matt2419]

This song reminds me of “I will not bow” by breaking Benjamin. Love it so much 😂😂.

[@pheeshi]

matthaeus mccoon it’s funny cuz ppl say Reincarnate also sounds like I Will Not Bow but Reincarnate and this song don’t sound similar

[@ChestneyChiller]

I THOUGHT THE SAME

[@lashamumlauri1660]

omg shivers running through my body everytime when i hear this song

[@gagenewman7354]

Waiting for the Another Life reaction. Best song on the album for me 🤘

[@zim2417]

Gage Newman I love that song so much

[@DaveScottBass]

Definitely up there for favorite on the record. Another Life is next! Prepare for the feels man!!

[@GraveYardBoy666]

True man I'm going to start crying when I hear it

[@bellaishereandisaacsouless]

Probably my favorite song off the album

[@MrPasley99]

Perfect melody, beautiful song. 10/10 hands down

[@criscook9166]

STILL IN LOVE WITH THE OUTRO

[@WyattStav]

THANKS SO MUCH! :D :D

[@criscook9166]

No problem dude!

[@alexturner493]

What song is it??

[@bangurowned]

She's so perfectttt. I mean. Good song.

[@kylewhite4150]

song has strong breaking benjamin vibes and a little hint of old AFI and i’m here for it

[@_Kiwis_]

Been jamming to this on repeat for a few days now

[@zacharydavis6017]

One of my personal favorites. Love the reactions man hopefully we get a Upon a Burning Body album reaction

[@JZirn]

In addition to the BB vibes, I was hearing I Am Human by Escape The Fate in the chorus. This is a much better song though lol.

[@keanuk10]

Jacob Zirnheld I honestly thought I was the only one, found myself singing the lyrics to “i am human” at the chorus

[@layawake8168]

3:25 Sounds like the chorus off of Hopeless by Breaking Benjamin Awesome ass song keep rocking MiW🤘

[@Tucker-yc5ye]

HOPELESS! (I’m falling down) GUILTY! ( I can’t wake up) I cannot hold on I will not let go Yep I can definitely hear the resemblance.

[@craigb5067]

The choruses are so catchy and huge because they write the chorus first then build around it.

[@dbbproductions5018]

There is another song on this album called “Another Life” that also sounds like breaking Benjamin

[@ILOVELEGOPRESENTS]

DBB Productions that song is sick!!!

[@batmanbeyondrules6888]

DBB Productions shut the fuck up

[@ColtonAtkins]

Batman Beyond rules what the fuck? 😂

[@ericperry9330]

Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band. Also this is my favorite song by MIW, and of the year, Tool supposed to making a new album, and then there's more songs unheard thats on the new Slipknot album, so this might become my second fav within months to come, its a good fucking year.

[@somersfamily]

you talking about breaking ben. lol funny story my friend married Keith wallen that later joined them . nice guy and love the band. yes this song does sound like bb. keep up the good work bro

[@YodaSmokes]

Yes!!! You said it too. I immediately said it sounded like breaking Benjamin. And it’s my favorite song on the album.

[@justinmosley1346]

Im hearing a day to remember sometimes you're the nail sometimes you're the hammer, etf i am human, and breaking benjamin

[@alexturner493]

My favorite song on the album! I’m so glad you heard the Breaking Benjamin vibes!! I thought I was the only one!! BB is my favorite band of all time and I would die if they went on tour with MIW!!

[@arturogonzalez755]

Love this band already

[@toddjones7143]

I definitely agree with Lindsay, this is my favorite record of 2019 as well. It's everything I loved about classic MIW but just newer sounds and production. Edit: and Chris's voice just keeps getting better over the years

[@mariavitso]

this song........ i don’t have words

[@punkrocker4life9674]

Can’t wait to see the reaction for Another Life

[@mariahriddick506]

Omg i loved this video omg I just heard this song for the first time today and I'm living for this song I totally agree its very breaking bejermen and I was getting that new Godsmack sound and I was picking up a little skillet in there as well it is 🔥.

[@sharkwhisperer9493]

BRUH I FUCKING LOVED THIS ALBUM AND IM STOKED AS FUCK TO SEE OTHERS LOVE IT TOO

[@Digzitify]

On the chorus, I cant help but think of I Am Human by Escape The Fate lol

[@calbarto7803]

Jimmy Jay yes someone else hears it too

[@hydrodrop5457]

That’s the first thing I thought of when I first listened to this song

[@Ecstas345]

Great reaction as always guys! Happy to see the BB comparisons, would be awesome to see you 2 react to The Evening Hate by Red, they dropped it a couple days ago, truly a banger!

[@KB-yf3wt]

I kinda wish you did a reaction to the lyrics and not just solely the instrumentals, however, great reaction as expected!

[@DrixQC]

My favorite songs in terms of the lyric on the album, solid music too!

[@boof0569sm]

Awesome reaction! Love watching you two reactions, you guys are super cute. Much love 💕

[@crowcide110]

I Can't put my finger on where I exactly heard it but I believe this album was written on things fans have told them through the years and the messages MIW spread to there fans

[@bt-gq8tc]

I love how you laugh whan you like it xd its soo cute and funny af xxxd

[@XYKOTV]

I have heard a lot of different bands in this Album including Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, and Ice Nine Kills are the top I hear! Overall solid album love it!

[@ChestneyChiller]

I also hear korn, tool, NIN

[@shona5512]

I've mainly heard Breaking Benjamin in Holding On To Smoke, Another Life Slipknot in Thoughts & Prayers Linkin Park in Headache And a number of other bands within the other songs. But being a massive INK fan, I'm still failing to see what song you're hearing their influence in?

[@yourmother6045]

@@shona5512 Prolly Undead Ahead.

[@shona5512]

@@yourmother6045 I did eventually notice similarities to INK throughout the "Creatures" album, but that was more to do with the similar album concepts of songs inspired by iconic Horror/Movie creatures. Not so much the actual sound though.

[@yourmother6045]

@@shona5512 Yeah, they're really known for doing that kind of stuff, that's why people point that out when someone does something somewhat similar. Also I'm surprised you heard Linkin Park in Headache.

[@snowzie8344]

I love this channel I found it about 2 min ago, this is my new fav band thanks to the amity affliction radio on KZbin music lol and when I found this band I was like “breaking Benjamin?” My wife also agreed and when u said that in this video insta like and sub🤗 keep up the great vids!

[@hannahncp5607]

I love it 🖤🖤 agreed, it definitively sounds like Breaking Benjamin, but I'm here for it 😁 also, lyrics and this one hit hard!! Second favorite after thoughts&prayers so far 🤘🏻

[@french1991toast22]

The first time listening to this album I didnt even hear the BB and three days grace influences. Now that you said it he sound exactly like BB. \m/

[@gabrielapolinar7794]

One of my favorite

[@rodney.laur0]

My fav is Another Life for sure, that just hits me in the feels everytime 😄🖤

[@WyattStav]

same here man :)

[@Wittybruh]

First time I heard this song was was getting breaking Benjamin vibes, then the screaming in the bridge was nearly identical to crawl or hopeless and it gives me goosebumps every time, I'm so glad you said that it reminded you of Breaking Benjamin! Good stuff bro!

[@etherealthereaper9891]

I got wait for the final reaction cause Catharsis is my fav

[@v9730]

Big facts

[@brendainteriano1469]

Sameeeee

[@tommycostello1042]

You should def do some reactions/analysis of some Breaking Benjamin stuff. Maybe off of Ember?? or the classic songs?

[@celestialgenocide188]

If yall didnt know the song from breaking benjamin its the chorus of hopeless. Huge breaking benjamin fan. Have their logo tattooed on my wrist

[@Fsunolesnation]

I never fucking thought of BB when I heard this. But once you said It I was like bro....BB my favorite band anyway so it’s great

[@FinalBeta]

This easily could have been a song on Breaking Benjamin's Ember album. 100%.

[@andrewteichroeb8886]

Or any other album that they made. I say that respectfully, I'm a huge fan.

[@eliminati0457]

The Next Song(Another Life) could be there too in my Opinion😂

[@eliminati0457]

In Another Life, the Start reminds me of Breaking Benjamin

[@chrisherzog5136]

This has alot of Head Welch influence in it. Dig it

[@barrysakr9079]

Disguise top fucking disc. Love the melodies

[@BeardedBBQ]

It’s funny because MIW and BB are from the same city Chris said he would go to breaking Benjamin concerts before they became big.

[@jarrettfreewalt1176]

I will not bow! I will not break!

[@darenhayes7506]

I way missed boat not listening to MIW til this yr... They are sick but I've looked at there way older stuff..They have gotten way better now he kills it every time...He's got range In his voice and knows when to use it anyone can scream

[@TopFlightCJ]

Loving all the reactions to this album! All 100 % bangers,and love the album,listen at work on repeat for two days now, Wyatt Stav which one you going to cover first? Disguise and then Thoughts and Prayers! ? !

[@leagueoflemons6844]

The chorus is almost identical to I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin. I love it

[@Sh1ne42]

That one part that you said sounded like breaking benjamin. That was exactly what I thought too.

[@lashamumlauri1660]

Amazing to know that you guys also love this kind of rock music and you also catch that Breaking Benjamin vibes

[@daloco6664]

Fuck I love this song

[@Mauve222M]

This is my favorite

[@barrysakr9079]

I have this song on repeat in my car stereo and master of puppets by Metallica that's all I play

[@shadychills8000]

This is definitely my favorite off the album, which is saying allot because I really like this album as a whole. So much power and emotion in this one. The Breaking Benjamin influence really comes through here, but I feel like they've incorporated some of that into their music since Reincarnate, which I really dig since I love Breaking Benjamin. This album is a nice blend of Alternative Rock, Nu Metal, and Metalcore. Though I wish the Metalcore elements showed up a little more, this is probably my favorite album by them. There is only one track on here that I don't really like and you haven't reviewed it. Really curious to see your reaction.

[@GeneralCba]

Love these, you didn't talk a lot but its cuz you were sooooo into listening to it It's one of my fav of the album, along with disguise, thoughts & prayers and another life (fuck it all of them)

[@WyattStav]

Awesome to hear ! :D

[@Ztallerence]

I wish you would do parkway drive album reaction. Just to see what you guys would say.

[@freedomwatchdog2495]

Really good.

[@ILOVELEGOPRESENTS]

Can you record reaction video to their another song “Another Life” from the same album?🙏🏻

[@gunner1592]

Lexx303 he’s recorded a reaction to all of them he just hasn’t released it yet

[@SynergyPaintball81]

When I first heard this song I too said it sounded like I will not bow by breaking Benjamin, the chorus at least

[@johnnycaution1769]

Definitely Breaking Benjamin vibe. It gives kind of a Skilelt vibe as well in a sense. Like Comatose era Skillet.

[@Sethykins23]

Bro low key y’all need to do a vlog channel

[@WyattStav]

What would we cover on it? :O

[@Sethykins23]

Anything and everything. Y’all seem cool as hell!

[@charlieh5773]

110% agree it would be so good 🖤

[@lidorkalai]

I love this song but The chorus sounds like the chorus of I'm human by escape the fate

[@daxtonhincher7616]

Y'all should react to Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus!

[@andrewmclaren9218]

Code (chorus) sounds like chorus for numb by linkin park.

[@wheetbread1]

Your channels fire but Lindsey is so fire! Especially with the grey hair style. 🔥

[@Onhaey]

Favorite song on the whole album. Not as fast or hard but still good

[@johnnydiaz8100]

Hey Wyatt if I could make a suggestion, when you do your videos playing the drum covers of songs can you do one of Mark Tremontis solo project Tremonti

[@johnnydiaz8100]

Specifically Dying Machine or Cauterize, songs that have a lot of foot work

[@Bulsky]

Motionless in White is like Breaking Benjamin Rammstain and little bit of Linkin Parkish child. I can clearly hear these influences

[@HoboCharnas]

I really hear Breaking Benjamin in this one and I love it

[@oscaryanezzavala]

Esta es mi favorita del nuevo album

[@canexfex5325]

Está buena, el álbum se quedó en un buen álbum aún que haya querido que fuera muy buen álbum pero Bueno espero a su siguiente álbum

[@xarowheadx7896]

The chorus reminds me of I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin

[@cracked6772]

The guitarist is actually the one screaming in this one

[@motiondrummer7661]

J'ai beaucoup aimé vos réactions à cette album que j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé J'espère que tu reprendra les DrumCover prochainement
