You can see how Cody Quistad helped write this track easily. Definitely inspired by how he helps write with FIR. I know Cody didn’t help write “Losing my Life” but I hear it so much in certain parts of this song.
@Madden 07 Soundtrack Fan Account [Kendrick AOTY] I like both bands but do you realize Wage War is miles bigger than Currents streaming wise and touring wise
I mean they essentially did what falling in reverse did they did 1 album that was different from what they normally do because they wanted to. Then all of the songs afterwards went back to being heavy as shit. People need to learn that sometimes an artist will do something different and its ok to not like the album. What isn't ok is being an asshole about it like people hated that album with a passion.
This is my favorite song from them in a long time. How its sounds in general is perfect imo but what really gets me is the lyrics, which no one seems to applaud with this song. They speak to me a lot
I thought Last Chance to Dance was a banger from their last album but thought most of the rest was pretty meh. But I love this one, especially for a first song from the album.
Yeah bro right on the money, I thought it was just me. In their prime they were amazing with chorus, but sounds like falling in reverse with the guitar tone break down and auto tune @Madden 07 Soundtrack Fan Account [Kendrick AOTY]
Has honestly got to be one of the most heaviest songs they’ve released since ‘exposed’ from the bad vibrations album, bloody killer breakdown! Loved it!
@@michaelchristy5652 to be honest I completely forgot about that track, very heavy indeed. Nice little hidden gem in a album full of majorly soft songs.
Wow, incredible to hear their sound again. Homesick is still my favorite album and they were my favorite band for 10 years. These last 5 I've drifted away from the alternative and phased into the edm scene but every now and then I still come back to thus. And I'm happy I have here
I think this is a perfect mix of the early feels and heaviness with the more recent emotional lyrics and tones. Just a great mix between old and new while staying themselves. You hear this song and you know it's them right away. And that breakdown was AMAZING. I haven't had a breakdown that made me want to lose it in forever! Makes me excited for what's next
That was a great song. Dynamic - pop punk blended with good metal elements and a well written breakdown. I like bands when they are dynamic. I don’t mind when a heavy band puts In Good hooks or has calm songs. They just need to not lose their edge.
Love your stuff Nik, and THANK YOU for showing praise to Alex. He’s one of my favorite drummers out there. Solid all around and I feel like he adds a big part to ADTR. I might be a bit biased as they’ve been my favorite band since FTWHH but still it’s almost always about Jeremy
As much as I admittedly enjoyed You’re Welcome, I am very happy that this song sounds nothing like anything from it. Excited to see what they have planned for the future with new music
I think it's just classic A Day to Remember. They know what they're capable of and props to them for trying to break out and do different shit but they know what their bread and butter is and this was definitely a high end bop.
@@DanielFreakinAwesome2 If moving on means listening to tired and dragged out choruses like this then take me tf back bro. Melodies don't have an era or age tied to it tf?
@Madden 07 Soundtrack Fan Account [Kendrick AOTY] meh, listen to Sleep Token or Spiritbox or some genre bending band out there instead. This is ADTR, if you can't move on with what their direction just stop listening and move to other band.
I feel like everyone has forgotten about ADTR song “last chance to dance” off of their latest album. That song was heavy af and I have not heard many people talk about it
Best reaction. You actually let the song play while genuinely reacting to it for the first time. Seriously! This is the best reaction video ever in my lifetime! Keep them coming!
Idk I personally think there isn't a song that ADTR has made that I didn't think was amazing. Their music has always been freaking KILLER. From the acoustic soft stuff to the weird pop tracks to the heaviest breakdowns they could come up with. Phenomenal
Some people are pointing out or complaining about their new stuff not sounding like Homesick or older albums, but the reality is that there'll never be another Homesick or CC, their style of music has grown and changed, and that's great. You know, back when Homesick came out, people were also complaining that they changed, which is pretty funny. Just my two cents.
Man I was not expecting that breakdown to just up and punch me in the face like that, but I am so much all for it. I definitely like this return to their sound again.
Cool song and welcome change from their last album, but I'm really missing that legendary pop-punk-metal ADTR sound that we all grew up on, if even a more refined version of that. This sounds less like ADTR, and more like I Prevail (which they do well). Seems like they're having an identity crisis.
I Prevail or Falling In Reverse. I hear both in this so much, and it's not bad at all, it's just not ADTR. The breakdown doesn't even feel like an ADTR breakdown. Need more Homesick/WSMFY breakdowns.
All I want is an album that sounds like a combination of for those who have hearts and homesick honestly since common courtesy they've dropped the ball
Ive heard this song way before watching this reaction video, and knowing whats coming next in the song and seeing niks reaction is just hilarious. i love it. nothing is better than break downs.
Literally, everyone is saying that the last album was not good which makes it even more interesting for me to listen to. Because I never really got to know the band before and only got caught by the breakdown of "Miracle". I remember when Linkin Park did "A Thousand Suns" - still one of their best from my perspective. I enjoy bands trying different stuff, so I am really interested in ADTR discography now. :)
I was so so happy when I heard this song the first time. I’m pretty sure people driving next to me thought I was having a seizure from the head banging I was doing from my pure joy and excitement from them being heavy again lol
@@jeremiahhughes4483 hell yeah. it’ll be my first ever concert. i’m not sure if i’m going but if i do i’m really excited to see Ice Nine Kills, Motionless in White, and The Amity Affliction
yes me too! In Amsterdam. Lorna Shore used to be a support act in the original tour that got cancelled, but I cannot find them on any poster/announcement anymore. Would be a great night to see them all, but ADTR/BMTH should be fun enough
The DOOM (Mick Gordon) sound design references in the breakdown is insane. SoOoo many bands clearly played DOOM during the lockdowns. Hearing the inspiration across so many bands right now.
I mean, I have been a huge fan of ADTR since the beginning, its the same thing with Asking Alexandria, when you listen to the previous album you can hear the personality Jeremy put into the songs, it's definitely a journey when you listen to it, but they delivered big time to their harder roots which I always love but I don't hate when band try something new too, Of course we love the hard stuff that's what we love! But music is just a feeling and a vibe, and their previous album brought that too. ADTR is a mood brother! good review, I felt the same way hearing this!
Honestly, that was the best breakdown I've heard among recent metalcore releases. It actually felt heavy and impactful. This song gave me a lot of new Falling in Reverse vibes
everything cody quistad touches has been gold lately. this, most of the new falling in reverse, the new MMF album, let alone all of wage war’s music. and on top of that, i think we can all collectively thank bring me the horizon for releasing post human in 2020 so now every other band is going heavy again LOL.
Nah we ain't thanking BMTH. Usually, your comment would hold true, but the heavy is NOT a trend we're thanking BMTH for. Survival Horror came out at the very END of 2020, there were MADNITUDES of bands going heavy throughout that entire year. The genre was already heading in that direction before BMTH dropped. Like are we just going to ignore Polaris, Make Them Suffer, Kingdom of Giants, Within Destruction, The Ghost Inside, Alpha Wolf, Loathe, Tallah, August Burns Red, Bury Tomorrow, Currents, Spiritbox, Darko, Hollow Front, The Acacia Strain, Fit for a King, Currents, Chamber BMTH are usually trend setters, but going back to heavy was not one of them
@@metalblakedowns bruh ABR is my all time favorite band but nobody is copying them hahaha. BMTH are the trendsetters. they went soft, everyone went soft. they got slightly more heavy, so did everyone else. i’m not saying they’re the standard of “heavy”, but when they go a certain direction, it lets everyone know that it’s safe to go in that direction. it’s just what it is 😂
@@joshgibson7978 I'm not saying anyone copied ABR, but I'm just saying BMTH didn't set the 'heavy' trend Yes they're trendsetters, but this isn't one of them. They were later to the party with it If you wanna talk trend setting from Post-Human, it was the Linkin Park sound that a lot of bands are doing now. That's what came out of that record if anything AND the electronic combination. Mick Gordon's sound kinda thing, after PH, Mick Gordons been all over the metalcore scene. They set that trend as well
I feel like it's always the same formula over and over again: Enter the song with a heavy banging riff, then the chill verse that climaxes in the chorus, repeat, build-up for breakdown, breakdown, final chorus, maybe short reprise of heavy riff. I don't have a problem with this in general, since it's just the standard ABABCB formula of music adopted for metal, but it's so frustrating that after entering the song in heavy mode they all decide to cool it down. What about just keeping the energy up?! Chill parts are great to catch your breath again after slaying it to the first half of the song, but their function as counterpart making heavy parts even more heavy loses effectivness as soon as they're used too often in a song. Those bands are giving me such a hard time by doing so.
@@tokiwartooth8542 Totally makes sense, that's what I'm talking about. If the melody line of the chorus and the heaviness of the breakdown are the only things worth wondering while listening to a song, it's just not enough. Take Electric Callboy as counterexample, their songs are pure energy from start to finish, and it's not just because of the synths and the wigs.
songs called miracle because its a miracle they have a career still after making a living ripping off paddock park and not being cancelled yet for the things they did to girls in them tour buses
The super clean mix and the massive chorus honestly take a lot away from the adtr vibes in this for me. It's good but it just feels way too clean and artificial to sit in my brain as an adtr track.
As soon as I listened to the new track, I IMMEDIATELY came here cuz I knew you’d have a response and needed to hear what you had to say. Also, I live like an hour from you Nik! I need to meet you one day soon and buy you some pizza or something to say thanks for all your legendary content. 🤘🏼
Heed the warning everyone: This is exactly how the last recorded started too. I want this as badly as the rest, but keep an open mind and enjoy this track for now.
Its one of those songs that is going to be a portal to heavier metal for a lot of people, exactly what they have been for me like 15 years ago. Love it!
I definitely got FIR vibes in 2 spots. One at 2:59 when he screams “I need a fkn miracle” sounds like Ronnie when he screams “I need a miracle” on Losing my Life. Then again at 3:11 going in to the breakdown. I can almost sing “where is your god now?” From Popular Monster’s breakdown. It’s not bad at all, I just got another bands vibes
I really dug bad vibrations and found it funny when people dissed on it then listened to you’re welcome and realized bad vibes was pretty dope. This song sounds like a more natural progression from bad vibes instead of what you’re welcome was. Dope song!
My brother sent this song to me yesterday. I love it. It's like new FIR + Skillet to me. Maybe some more in there too. LOVE the breakdown and chunkk. Great track.
*THANK YOU*
Agree with you, Breakdown 2.0 ftw
Te quiero
hell YES
So you reacted to the new ADTR but no new slipknot???? Why????
М м м, вкуснятина
Nik spoke for all of us with that "THANK YOU, FUCK!" lmao
I felt the years of tension
man lmao
Imagine someone loving you as much as Nik loves breakdowns
breakdowns have to make ms. nocturnal jealous 😂
@plaimuzik! What
Michael?
Impossible
mom and dad
3:48 Nik unknowingly claps in triplets and is perfectly in time and doesnt even recognize it. What a chad!
actually crazy how convenient that was x.x must've low key felt like a deja vu for him, subconciously.
Good catch
I need them to carry this vibe through their next album.
YES PLEASE
You can see how Cody Quistad helped write this track easily. Definitely inspired by how he helps write with FIR. I know Cody didn’t help write “Losing my Life” but I hear it so much in certain parts of this song.

He also worked with MMF on a most of the music from the new album
thats why this genre sucks dick now.
This song gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to it. This song is HUGE for ADTR as long as they stay on this path. VERY excited for upcoming album
Agreed!
I personally loved the "soft" album, but I'm super stoked to see them go heavy again. Hope there's more like Miracle coming soon.
Has Nik ever been so excited during a breakdown that he got up from his chair?
nope xD
Hardcore Keem style lol
@@MrKrunas He did to Darkbloom Reimagined.
@@63517489 we all did
My comment may be really old but he did that with Vikings stp although it was only to get that whammy again 😂
Heavy Falling In Reverse vibes from the melodies and the catchy chorus which then turns into the sick breakdown. What a killer song!
I mean they essentially did what falling in reverse did they did 1 album that was different from what they normally do because they wanted to.

Escape the fate 1st album only falling in reverse sucks ballz
I was just thinking the same thing. This sounds very falling in reverse
Eh, to me this sounds A LOT MORE like I Prevail.
I heard that Cody from Wage War helped write and produce this track. And I think he also helped FIR with "Zombified" and "Voices in my Head".
Nick: THANK YOU
ADTR: You're Welcome
Underrated. 😂
ADTR shouldn't be allowed to say that in rest of their lives. Definitely a line to forget.

I share in your unadulterated joy. Came through even just listening to the audio with the phone in my pocket.
It's like if Memphis May Fire actually committed to their breakdowns. Love it!
LOL
It's like if the breakdown in Zombified by Falling in Reverse kept going and got turned into It's own song.
I hear you, that last album is really good but the breakdowns are too short unfortunately
BRUH 😂
How tf this is memphis may fire it feels like FIR more
This song is heavy but it kinda feels like they doin heavy just for the sake for doin the heavy and proving that they can do it still.
All I want is an album that sounds like a combination of for those who have hearts and homesick honestly since common courtesy they've dropped the ball
You could try just listening to those albums, might scratch that itch.
Genres change. That’s not what’s popular anymore. Get over it.
Tried reading your comment to the vocal line of All I Want. Kind of worked :D
After Common Courtesy its been meh at best. Rescue Me was probably the best they did when it came to singles and this song tbh
nah, Bad Vibrations is a banger of an album
Ive heard this song way before watching this reaction video, and knowing whats coming next in the song and seeing niks reaction is just hilarious. i love it. nothing is better than break downs.

The super clean mix and the massive chorus honestly take a lot away from the adtr vibes in this for me. It's good but it just feels way too clean and artificial to sit in my brain as an adtr track.
This is how You're Welcome should've been. Utilizes the pop/hip-hop elements during the verses, but still manages to stay heavy with sick breakdowns.
It's kinda generic but that shit works so good, that double breakdown was good af
Amazing Breakdown 2.0! Well done ADTR! Nik, we r still waitin for your Erra - Pull from the Ghost reaction!
Yeah this song is fire, absolutely loved it
Nik, bro you are seriously the best TH-camr out there. I can watch these videos on repeat 😂
As soon as I listened to the new track, I IMMEDIATELY came here cuz I knew you’d have a response and needed to hear what you had to say.
Also, I live like an hour from you Nik! I need to meet you one day soon and buy you some pizza or something to say thanks for all your legendary content. 🤘🏼
"Why do they hate happiness??" Hahaha
Heed the warning everyone: This is exactly how the last recorded started too. I want this as badly as the rest, but keep an open mind and enjoy this track for now.
Wow I'm impressed this actually rips. Their singer is crazy dynamic cleans are good and screams ate even better.
Its one of those songs that is going to be a portal to heavier metal for a lot of people, exactly what they have been for me like 15 years ago. Love it!
I definitely got FIR vibes in 2 spots. One at 2:59 when he screams “I need a fkn miracle” sounds like Ronnie when he screams “I need a miracle” on Losing my Life.
Then again at 3:11 going in to the breakdown. I can almost sing “where is your god now?” From Popular Monster’s breakdown.
It’s not bad at all, I just got another bands vibes
You are not wrong though during breakdown i keep hearing popular monster breakdown 😆
Go on then, ill say it. When did ADTR ever sound like Falling in Reverse? Tell me im wrong,,,please,,,!! Lol
This vid has 106K views rn, the official video has 240K, thats NUTS!! so proud of you Nik! You’re so influential and we 1’s and 0’s love you bro!
I really dug bad vibrations and found it funny when people dissed on it then listened to you’re welcome and realized bad vibes was pretty dope. This song sounds like a more natural progression from bad vibes instead of what you’re welcome was. Dope song!
My brother sent this song to me yesterday. I love it. It's like new FIR + Skillet to me. Maybe some more in there too. LOVE the breakdown and chunkk. Great track.
It sounds like a recent falling in reverse song !
Those lil claps had me laughing for some reason. 2am videos hit different
They always put out a heavy single and that’s it for the album
That’s not true.
@@jakegrenard682 feels like it since Common Courtesy
It's almost like Jeremey learned something from Wage War on the Manic production cycle! Love this!
Cody Quistad co-wrote and co-produced this. Honestly not going to complain if he’s involved with most of the next album.
Big huge falling in reverse vibe in this song
Me dusting off my Cookie Monster snap back and Osiris skate shoes with mix matched checkerboard laces with this song playing in the background.
