Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

YES! My body is not ready and that's exactly how I want to hear this song live!

This is really funny in my head because I'm 6ft tall 😄 I'd still run though...

@@bsdsuPASTA Probably a good idea to run. She'll either write a song about you or, she's got a mean front kick too....:) th-cam.com/video/ZRpy4jkjSZk/w-d-xo.html

Wow, and here I was thinking Pau is just being very expressive when she plays the drums, but it seems what I was actually seeing was the containment seal of the drum kit stretching to its limit under the pressure of Pau's immense energy! No wonder she only plays instruments that require her to be sitting. If I get a personal diss track I'd consider that a win though.

I'm a huge fan of the approach "do what's right for the song". I want a good overall and cohesive experience from the song (which can evolve, of course) and that's what I usually get from TW. If I want Flex I'll listen to Polyphia, it's part of the cohesive experience of the song when they do it 😄That said, if I had to name one The Warning song where I would expect some shredding it would be Consume, but I openly confess I am a rudimentary creature musically speaking. And I do quite like the solo in this song on its own, especially the more I hear it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard the Arabian/Middle Eastern bits in that solo!

@@bsdsuPASTA When i first heard this song, I laughingly visualized an Arab disco party where someone spiked the punch and everything went sideways.....lol

@@solarvanlife8177 That's a hilarious mental image xD I'll be remembering this comment every time I hear the solo now, and I don't mind that 😄

I watched a bunch of drumming videos just yesterday so I can tell apart the different drums in the kit, so I won't pretend that I know anything about drums, but if she really did the all of the drums for the whole album in under 4 hours I am very impressed! Creativity is certainly in abundance when it comes to The Warning. I, too, would love to be present for the creative process when they make their music. Although I probably wouldn't get much out of it without being able to speak Spanish. Not with my meager understanding of music :(

Someone else in the comments said Pau does the verses and Dany does the pre-chorus & the chorus, and of course they're also harmonizing all over the place so we're probably hearing a lot of Ale too, without realizing 😄 Definitely not a solo lead vocal in this song though 👍

🔥🔥🔥&⚡⚡⚡ they are!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

Yes sir, it is done already!

For sure, it definitely has 'action movie' vibes!

Kind of yeah, actually 😄

❤⚠⚡🤘🖤

❤🤘⚡⚠

Yeah, the combat really wasn't impressive in Legends as far as I played it :(

I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! Agreed, Sharks is amazing! 🦈🦈🤘⚡⚠🦈🦈

It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow refined gentleman with exquisite taste of music on the interwebs 👌🤘⚡⚡

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! I do love how open to interpretation The Warning's lyrics are and how they seem to be enhancing the storytelling of their lyrics with the musical composition itself (although I'm sure at least part of that is just in my head). It's really cool how all of us can listen to the same sounds and come out with something completely different in our heads!

​@@bsdsuPASTAAnd that is what the Warning has said in interviews. That their songs can mean different things to different people.

@@SDsailor7 Yeah, I even recall one of them (I think it was Dany?) said some of their songs mean different things to her as years go by, compared to when the songs were written.

❤‍🔥🤘⚡❤‍🔥

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis! This song hits hard, I would very much like more TW nu metal in future albums ❤ Viva The Warning indeed! ⚡⚡⚡

Excellent reaction👍​@@bsdsuPASTA

@@SDsailor7 Thanks, I appreciate it ❤

Consume and Satisfied are also great, but the whole rest of the album is as well 👌 KMF is all hits as far as I'm concerned! Sharks is definitely the most powerful of the bunch, in no small part thanks to the bass. The whole song hits really hard 🤘🤘🦈

When discussing who sings what I mostly omitted Ale because I was thinking about characters in the song and who's the "main" vocal for certain parts and Ale very rarely does that (although her solo bit in CHOKE is AMAZING). I'm sure she did plenty of backing vocals and harmonies. That's one of The Warning's super powers, they have the sisterhood vocal buff! I would also love to see a live performance of this song so I can see rather than try to hear who sings what, but mostly, I want to FEEL this song live (as in, attend a live performance rather than watch a video). Sharks seems like it would shake my bones in all the right ways!

I think Ale's going to be singing Don't Bleed Don't Bleed a lot in the future. Truly a group effort, but also they've acknowledged that this is the hardest and complicated song to get "right" performing this live. They need a bit of down time to practice this.

@@rebpgh I should hope they'll be singing "Don't Bleed Don't Bleed" a lot in the future! Although, as you say, the first time we get to hear a live version of it likely won't be very soon.

I'm 100% with you there! I went with a very specific interpretation, but this song specifically seems to me like it can fit many, many different interpretations with ease. Lots of sharks in the "ocean" these days, it seems 🤔 I checked the song again for the bass to hear what you're talking about (because unless there's ONLY bass my ears probably won't pick it up) and, yes, that's a mean bass line! But then, the whole song is powerful, mean, and threatening. I love it! As for the misheard lyrics, I think you have managed to make the whole scene a lot more scary!

❤‍🔥🤘⚡❤‍🔥

Thanks! Can I still access the descriptions from the pre-save page somewhere? I'd love to see what they had written for each song.

Someone else in the comments said that Pau sings the verses and Dany sings the pre-chorus and the chorus (and they sing together for some parts), so yeah, that part should be Dany 👌👍 And yes, this song is amazing 🤘⚡🔥

Thank you for breaking down who sings what! For some reason the lines "Shut your mouth, you know / They're bleeding you out" in the chorus sounded a lot like Pau to me. It's really cool how well their voices work with each other and how good they are at making use of that. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video, comments like these really help get me through the tedious editing process sometimes ❤

I think it's Ale doing the quiet parts of don't bleed and don't. And bones can also be skeletons. They'll eventually fall out of the closet.

@@davejohnston2197 Yeah, it could be Ale, she does a lot of backing vocals. I did consider that the bones could be closet skeletons, but I didn't think to say "skeletons in the closet", which would have made the explanation much easier 😅!

🦈🦈🤘⚡⚠🦈🦈

It really is!

I just listened to a few videos of 2 different live performances of this song. Predictably, the audio quality was not great, but it was good enough to prove that yes, Consume sounds amazing live! It seemed to me in the pre-chorus Dany was also singing, but as a quiet supporting vocal for Pau. Although I didn't hear that so much as I saw it. I'm guessing that's how they did "the effect". The solo is really cool as well, I like it as a piece of music on its own, it just doesn't fit in with my "go fast" image of the rest of the song. And I'll say again, the pre-chorus is the star of this song for me and that's very much the case for the live version as well! It's even better when I can see Pau singing it for some reason 🤘

⚡⚡🤘⚠🤘⚡⚡

Yeah, Dany's distortion pedal has many different buttons that change up the distortion (and presumably Ale's too, but I've only seen the video where Dany goes over hers). Presumably there's hardware & software that can do that for a mic as well. Or short of that, two microphones, as you said. But, someone mentioned in another commend that the pre-chorus is actually sang by Pau, so perhaps they can just filter her mic for the whole song and not have to worry about it. If so, that might even be the reason why she's the one singing the pre-chorus. Clever solutions!

The way art cycles through artists to produce more art is one of my favorite concepts in general. I find it fascinating how everything is made out of parts of other things, and sometimes if art A inspires the creation of art B, B can then inspire the creator of A to make art C. It's like a community of friends unknowingly helping each other, it's lovely 😄 Though I suppose the interpretation you suggest is more insidious than that, but that's only if we assume the consumption of art as a general concept is bad, which I don't think it is (unless I misunderstand what you're saying). I think the problem comes when consumption becomes over-consumption and when "the system" starts preying on basic human programming to stimulate said over-consumption. Looking at the song as an artist talking about labels/TV/etc. is an interesting take that I had not considered. The story of the song in that context definitely reminds me of horror stories I've heard about "the industry". The lyrics of this song are certainly thought-provoking, they've chosen well to name the album after this song and use the theme of it for the cover art in my opinion.

@@bsdsuPASTA yep! the ""hiding"" of that one lyric in this one song and using it as the album name is also :chef's_kiss: unintentional but yet another rewarding coincidence that DPA/TW have done on more than one occasion... for example, the 1st and last tracks on QOTMS create a loop 😜

@@WaldoKitty T H E Y L O O P ? Of course they loop, that makes so much sense :| You say a coincidence, are we sure that it wasn't on purpose? I would not be surprised if it was.

@@bsdsuPASTA they have 3 vlogs in their Videos tab where they talk about the creation of the QOTMS album track by track... it is mentioned in one of them... perhaps something non-musical to check out? TWA has seen them 100s of times and will happily watch them again with reactors 😉 maybe after or during your QOTMS reactions if you haven't done it yet? yeah... there's a lot out there 😹

@@WaldoKitty in the videos tab on their youtube channel? If so, I can't find them. Do you happen to remember what the titles of those videos are? I can try reacting to non-musical stuff. I spent most of my musical reactions yapping about other stuff anyway 😄 A reaction of the QOTMS "musical novel" would be a feat, if I choose to do that I'd have to come up with a battle plan. Which may be in the process of forming in my head as we speak... but even if I choose to give it a shot, it likely won't be soon (which is a relative term, I know).

If they believe that role is to their advantage, why do they call themselves a martyr (failed one)? Also they repeat "it's" 3 times in the first verse as well, would that have something to do with "the masks"? It's an interesting take that tells an entirely different story to what I had in mind!

@@bsdsuPASTA the lyrics: I-I-I, I can't point the finger at you anymore I couldn't die as the martyr, now I've become the Greedy little f___r The role of martyr is refused. It is a lesson learned, better to be the victimizer rather than the victim. But the roles of victim/victimizer may not be the correct analogy. I see it more as developing a symbiotic relationship. Each participant is getting something. If this is a creator/consumer situation the creator is not being consumed, but their product is. They could also give it away or be put into a situation where their efforts are poorly rewarded. This gets difficult if the person is also the product, or inseparable from the product. And I think that is hinted at in the first verse (It-It-It's your machine but I'm the one running it). "I" becomes "it", I am the "it", the thing being consumed initially, before figuring out a way to benefit.

@@steveboguslawski114 I might be attempting math that's too simple here, but if "I" becomes "it", then "It's, it's, it's your machine, I'm the one running it" would become "I'm, I'm, I'm your machine, I'm the one running it"? Everything else makes sense, including why "I" can become "it" with the context you have provided, but that last part I don't understand 🤔

@@bsdsuPASTA I think it is a viewpoint shift within the lyric. I'm running the machine but am an "it" from your perspective.

@@steveboguslawski114 Right, I see! Thank you for explaining it. It's cool how we can view the same song in such different ways 👌

⚡🤩⚡

I second this notion!

🔥🔥🔥🤘⚡🤘🔥🔥🔥

The Warning - not a PG band anymore! 😄 Surely most parents would overlook one tiny small little word (which is part of the second most sing-able line in the song) :) Surely! I do want to see a live performance of this. The pre-chorus goes so fast and I want to see Dany's face singing words at that pace 😄 Her expressions are usually on point too, that's bound to be interesting to see as well.

⁠@@bsdsuPASTApre-chorus is being sung by Pau!

FWIW: they can easily clean it up and replace the F-bomb with another word that fits the lyrical pattern... when this was released a few of us listed numerous words that would fit but none have the "impact" the F-bomb carries...

@@johnkennedy963 wHAT? That actually makes sense, I kept thinking while listening to the song that the pre-chorus sounds like it's being sang by a different person. I couldn't place it as Pau though (I didn't even consider that), my mind went straight to "oh, that's so different it's like someone not from the band is singing", which is why I thought it might be a filter. Now that you've opened my eyes and I've gone over it 10 times, I can kind of hear it! Well, here I'm hoping for a good drummer cam for that part! Thanks for letting me know.

@@WaldoKitty That's possible, but given the plethora of options why did they go with the F-bomb when writing and recording the song? I've heard Dany say somewhere that they don't mind using "bad words", but they have to be the right words to use, rather than just thrown in there for giggles (I'm heavily paraphrasing here). So, presumably they care about the word being an F-bomb? They might opt to replace it for live performances anyway, given how many very young fans they have, but I'd be surprised if they do.

The solo is quite interesting indeed, but I personally couldn't fit it with my feel of the rest of the song. Which makes me think I might be missing something obvious in my interpretation or I inserted something that wasn't meant to be in 🤔 For example, I definitely did not consider this being a song about a romantic relationship, as you see it. Does the speaker also become demanding in the second pre-chorus where she says she has become the greedy little [___]? That's an interesting way to look at the song!

It's about people in general. Pointing the finger. Blaming them for the situations they are in. Then coming to the realization that they are equally a part of the situation themselves

@@JED-DogsBestFriend Yeah, I'd say that sounds about right to me 👍

They do say that they read, so maybe! I've never heard them mention what sort of things they read though, I wish they'd talk about that sometime.

"Numb" is not a word that pops to me from verse 1. They mention ache, need, torture, feel and stimulate, which don't sound like numbness to me, but it would make sense if what is described in that verse is due to keeping it all inside. If by "second part" you mean verse 2, yeah, that would make sense 👍

Yep, that's one of the interpretations that I also went through!

I had a goofy mental image and it spilled into the explanation 😄 I couldn't pick what songs I would like to hear live over the others, they all go in such different directions that I'll always feel like I've missed out if I don't hear all of them. You're welcome, I'm glad you've enjoyed the video :)

Yeah, I imagine on most tour stops that have smaller venues or are part of festivals they can't really use a piano, but for bigger venues that may have a piano handy or for local shows they can have something arranged. I seem to recall them getting an orchestra just for Black Holes in a show in Monterrey. Alternatively, as you said, a backing track or clean guitar are probably the go-to. I do expect a piano for the CDMX shows, however. For some reason I imagine "home turf advantage" will allow them to pull off pretty much anything they want 😄

Yeah, I do wonder how much time they had to rehearse the new songs. It might be until Feb 2025 at the CDMX shows before we get to hear some of the songs, but if that's how it is then that's how it is.

I agree! The Warning manage to do that often enough that I've come to expect it now 😄 That's the thing that gives me the warm and fuzzy feelings inside. When everything fits it's just *chef kiss* Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the analysis :) 🤘⚡🤘

You mean that... they could be any one of us? 😮 I never considered that angle, but, as you say, the lyrics can work with it.

Yeah, I got to social media nicknames in the third interpretation near the end of the video. That's my headcanon interpretation, as some of the other lyrics also make more sense with it, such as "Hands always move on their own, self-inflicted torture" referring to furiously typing on a keyboard/phone while engaged in an online argument that you recognize as pointless and infuriating but you just can't stop yourself. My teenage self knows what I'm talking about very well 😄
