Unfortunately I can't watch this until the days practically over but like a true pro I'm issuing a prepared statement 😂 In Contact is a concept album, although thankfully each song stands on its own independently. Dream the Dead starts us with a painter who is a struggling to quit alcoholic. Biggest problem is, he just doesn't make the same quality art sober. A couple tracks in we meet our second artist, a musician caught in a very precarious love affair. Then we meet the poet. Savvy but paranoid, he sees the writing on the wall and is trying to warn us of the corruption around us. Finally, the sculpture in the grand finale of Graves. Despite the fact his hands take something as hard as stone and shapes it into beautiful art, he's about to become a father and stepping up to sculpt a human life scares the shit out of him. Phew. Specifically Songs for No One is the musician. It's his job to entertain the people who hosts him, one in particular is a person of much power, and they're in that love affair I had mentioned. As we fall into softest soil Is this one rose enough for you? And who would tend To our garden That no one sees For no one See how the sun over calm ocean Sings, "this is who I am, my rose" Safe from prying eyes, this is who we are Okay okay enough, it's not quite as grand as the story to the poet and the pendulum but dammit it sure means a ton to me :D Slow violence would have been a fantastic intro song, it's super catchy and accessible, but I really wanted you to hit something with depth as I'm not too certain the band will ever be on the channel again! Thank you so much Chase, two month wait totally paid off haha, but such is the price of being a singular voice among masses :P We stay resilient!
First of all, Happy Bday! And second, I would NOT be adverse to hearing more from this band. They sound like they know what they are doing. So, yeah, ask Chase for more. I think he might say yes.
Happy birthday to you sir! Hopefully we can get Chase to hit "Dream the Dead" and eventually "Graves"(my YT name's namesake!) I'd also like him to do reactions for "Rust" and "Dark Hair Down" as those two happen to be my favorite C-Horse songs
The only segment of music they have ever made that just kind of isn't fucking fantastic is the "fuck this city " show tune power up mantra... Other than that I'm perpetually amazed at what they write
You know how Sherlock can take a brief look at how someone ties their shoe laces and instantly knows their personality and habits and exactly what they have been up to in the last year. You are like that with half a second of music. You must have very fast ears. Great reaction as always
Goddamn brother, Caligula's Horse! I love your reactions man, from musician to musician it's incredible watching your videos and how you break everything down man. Love you man!
@@ChaseCarneson there is so much music I want to introduce you to. And by the way, nice shout out to the Broncos! There is a band that I've recently discovered called "Epica" and I found a live version of their song "Sancta Terra" featuring Floor Jansen...my god man, you will be floored if you do a reaction to that song!
Alright, I didn't expect this one! Great reaction! I had the privilege of seeing them last year at ProgPower USA. Glad to see some recognition going their way.
Had a full day before I could get to this, glad I didn't miss it. Great sound, I'll be checking out more of them. Kudos to the engineers, the mix is awesome.
Your Videos are gold! I love how you manage to find things that I have never found on my own, even tho I heard this song countless times. Thank you for improving my experience permanently!
Caligula's Horse = killer riffs, almost all of their songs. You need to check out Valkyrie next or Slow Violence or whatever suggested by other subscribers because they're all good.
My favorite band! They are masters at being melodic and prog at the same time. Got to see them live and meet them at Progpower USA last year. They put on a great live show! Listen to the masterpiece Graves or anything from the new album. Or for similar type prog band I would do Leprous. Glad to see someone enjoys Prog like I do, not enough prog lovers in the US.

Awesome reaction, I really liked how you picked out little details! You should definitely listen to them more! In Contact is a genius album (I recommend: Dream the Dead, The Hands are the Hardest, Graves) and they just came out with a new one Rise Radiant (Salt, Valkyrie, Autumn+The Ascent)!
paul gilbert always talks about guitarists just trying to shred without having the feeling behind it and how it makes so much of a difference to put emotion first in a solo, i've always seen c-horse's guitarist (sam vallen btw) as the best example of a guitarist who does both perfectly, even when he's shredding it's a masterclass of emotive note selection, i really cant say enough good things about the band. if anyone wants proof listen to "alone in the world" as well as every other song they've made
Caligula's Horse probably is in my top 3 progressive metal bands. My Favorite song from them is Turntail, if you want to react to it. But honestly, every single one of their songs is amazing.
Peripherium.... Sounds like a Periphery fan as well. Caligula's Horse is one of my favorite bands right now. Please consider either Graves, Dream the Dead or Marigold for your next Caligula's Horse reaction. Another great reaction!! Thank you sir!
@@qmiller9 Haha I'm actually not a big Periphery fan but a giant dork for Tesseract. It's Spencer, and the fact they're more core and Tesseract went more groove and atmosphere. Tell you what I love Bulb though! My user name actually comes from Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift & Dream Theater - Octavatium 🤓
@@paravarium , You're speaking my language really hard! Misha Mansoor's work on Bulb is incredible. And Dream Theater and LTE are 2 of my favorite for a long time now. I'm guessing you're a guitarist. I'm a drummer, and I really think it works be cool if Portnoy, Petrucci, Rudess and Levin got back to recording. I like the new stuff Portnoy has been doing post-DT to some degree, but I miss his crazy prog metal playing. You listen to Plini at all..... Or Night Verses?
@@qmiller9 Absolutely adore Plini. I wish I played guitar, but I just do vocal meanderings. We're getting half those guys for John Petruccis up coming second solo album, so take that as a huge win :D
Its funny I found these guys listening to VOLA on TH-cam music. You do my favorite reaction to VOLA's Straight Lines. Its cool I looked reactions up for this band and found you doing them. This song is a jam.
Yeah I always find it really difficult to do the music and lyrics all in one go, especially on a first listen. I always lean more to the music side of things, but definitely try to look at lyrics where I can.
9:38 No Fenders used. ;) Both plays Music Man 7-string guitars. I think the black one is one of the John Petrucci models. And also bass player uses Music Man.
I DID hear that growl from the guitar!! I think those solos were meant to further the drive of the story. This was VERY refreshing! And oh...is that a Dark Chest of Wonders? ;) ( Runs off giggling)
Jim Gray has been doing this stuff in the Australian progressive rock/metal scene for a long time. I remember when I was practically a kid being blown away by Arcane at the Espy in Melbourne back in like 06. That album Chronicles of The Waking Dream is still a masterpiece.
Just to add, Australia went through a whole largely Tool-inspired rock renaissance around 2000. We had Birds of Tokyo, Karnivool, Cog, Voyager, The Butterfly Effect. It was a great time to be a scene kid.
Didn't know this band, but I really enjoyed. Love your reactions and sharp ear. Please listen to Riverside, a Polish prog metalband , Second life syndrome, you won't be disappointed.
I adore riverside. RIP Piotr Grudziński. Some of his solos, particularly Cybernetic Pillow bring me to tears after what happened. You should definitely check out more CH :]
Their songs "Graves" (from the same album as Songs for No One) is a great listen, aswell as "Slow Violence" for a shorter song off of their new album. "The Tempest" is really really special aswell. This band is amazing and I especially love that there are only clean vocals!
More great songs by them: Graves, Slow Violence, Dream the Dead If you liked Caligula's Horse, check out Haken - Falling back to earth or The Architect
Good morning, Chase! Musical joke for you. What is the difference between Mick Jagger and a Scotsman? Mick will say "Hey, you, get off of my cloud!!", while the Scotsman will say "Hey, McCloud, get offa ma ewe!!"
Hello Chad! I love watching your reactions, would you be able to do the reaction of the band UNPROCESSED the song called “Heaven ”, please, I hope you like it. Greetings from Mexico ☺️🇲🇽
Have you ever reacted to a virtual band before? I have no idea if you're familiar with the game League of Legends, but Riot Games, the producer of the game, basically came up with the band "Pentakill", a band made up of a few of their game's characters to promote new cosmetics for said characters. I know they hired Jørn Lande to voice the lead singer character, and the band has 2 released albums as of today. Here's a link to one of their songs if you'd like to check it out at some point! th-cam.com/video/5-mT9D4fdgQ/w-d-xo.html
Professional analysis :) but this kind of music does not appeal to me. I just heard Eskimo Callboy: Hypa hypa, if you like to have a fun preparing a reaction. They're funny, not stupid.
I find that bands that go the 'progressive' path tend to go so deep down the rabbit hole of 'musical trickery' that the songs start to become more of a 'musical masturbation' scene: the song is just a collection of 'see how many tricks are in my cool bag of tricks' rather than a coherent song. This is not the kind of music I will listen to a lot, but I can say I thoroughly enjoy the melody and the way those 'musical tricks' are in this case in support of the song, rather than all there is to hear... Thumbs up, and thanks for pointing out all those things us mere mortals don't tend to pick up on, Chase!
To anyone reading this comment, Caligula's Horse sucks, no talent, so terrible. Great now that I have your attention I'm kidding, one of the best bands I've ever heard... the MUST listens are IMO songs such as "Firelight", "Dream the Dead", "The hands are the hardest", "fill my heart" "Graves", "Salt" "***Autumn***" (a must), "The ascent" (which follows Autumn). If you're not blown away by that point just donate your ears to someone who can actually use them. Cheers all.
Lol, this autoplayed after Spiritbox so I had a go through the comments 😂 hilarious. They don't make many skipable songs.. just too bad some of the very very best don't have music videos 😖 I wanted dream the dead first haha
It's incredible how different people perceive the same sounds so differently. He's literally probably the best vocalist I've ever heard in modern music. I will listen to them *just* for the vocals! 😅
Unfortunately I can't watch this until the days practically over but like a true pro I'm issuing a prepared statement 😂

As we fall into softest soil
Is this one rose enough for you?
And who would tend
To our garden
That no one sees
For no one
See how the sun over calm ocean
Sings, "this is who I am, my rose"
Safe from prying eyes, this is who we are
Okay okay enough, it's not quite as grand as the story to the poet and the pendulum but dammit it sure means a ton to me :D

Happy birthday, dude! Near flawless album. What did you think of their new one?
Happy birthday to you sir! Hopefully we can get Chase to hit "Dream the Dead" and eventually "Graves"(my YT name's namesake!)
I'd also like him to do reactions for "Rust" and "Dark Hair Down" as those two happen to be my favorite C-Horse songs
Like others said, Graves is a masterpiece. I assume it's haunting as a yt react channel to do a 15 min song but I assure you it's worth it.
Now we're talking. This whole album is damn near flawless.

they're melody kings
Dude, you have to do Graves by Caligula’s Horse. Greatest song, EVER
Never heard of this band, but I really enjoyed this song. Might have to look up more of their stuff.
Go for "graves"
Dragonfly is a masterpiece too.
I discovered this band a few years ago and forgot to check up on new material. So thank you for reminding me!
Alright, I didn't expect this one! Great reaction!
I had the privilege of seeing them last year at ProgPower USA. Glad to see some recognition going their way.
These guys are musical geniuses. More please.
Nice, one of my favorite bands!
Would be cool if you also did their song 'Graves'
Had a full day before I could get to this, glad I didn't miss it. Great sound, I'll be checking out more of them. Kudos to the engineers, the mix is awesome.
Aaah yes! Love these guys so much and Jim Grey has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard!
Please please pleeease do Bloom & Marigold!
this Sam Vallen is kinda genious on writing riffs, melodies and rithm stuff

Um...would you be Canadian by any chance?
Please do a reaction to "Bring Me The Horizon - Parasite Eve", that track has so many different elements to it. I think you'll love it :D
Also, is it the same lonely door that appears in loads of different music videos? If so it must have loads of stories to tell. I hope it is.

Check out the band "Chaos Divine" song, Landmines!
You gotta do "graves"
So how DOES a ginger springbok in Blighty get to be a Denver Broncos fan??
😂😂😂 Always been a Broncos fan. Think it started with Madden 98 or something silly.
