on repeat, all day, every day. I never thought the day would come that an album would finally dethrone Augment by Erra as my favourite album of all time. absolutely insane work, and some of these tracks hit so much harder now.
masterclass by Daniel Furnari on this album. The guitarwork of Polaris gets so much credit and rightfully so but for me Dan steals the show on the kit - his creativity is unmatched
@noahjohnston9174 I haven't listened to near as much Currents as I should have but I've liked everything I have listened to. Didn't know they were gonna be touring together, I'ma have to check into that. Thanks for the heads up lol
I stumbled my way onto this band I was listening on Spotify to Fury By Wage War and I had shuffle with recommendations on and it stepped me on Landmine by Polaris and was blown away. From then on I kept up with them. Fury was my first Metal/Metalcore song ever but This album Fatalism in my opinion is AOTY!!!!!!
Guess its gonna be a four way tie for 1st this year. Heavener, the death we seek, fatalism, and superbloom. This year has been something truly special for metalcore. Also, the architects comparison is spot on. Polaris was touring with them for holy hell and now it's gonna be a parallel with the tragedy of Ryan's passing.
This is a slow burner. I wasn’t into the singles, when they came out. I recently listened to the album from start to finish for the first time. Only one song stuck out to me: The Crossfire. The rest I wrote it off as OK. I clicked on this video, because I wanted your reaction to The Crossfire. And to be honest, I felt the whole album much more this time. More songs were touching me. Dissipate is sooo good. So, thank you for posting the whole reaction. I found a new appreciation for this album. I will give it a second chance. Heavener + The Death We Seek are still in the top 2 spots, but this might be #3 soon. I love that there are 3 bands right now, that put out great reords (I am definitely an album guy.) The last 2-3 years were extremely great for my taste of music.
I thought it was their worst album they’ve made after the singles and first listen when it dropped. Another handful of times after that I have it as better overall than The Death of Me but not as good as The Mortal Coil
New silent planet I have a feeling it’s gonna be amazing and give this album a run for album of the year. It might be the only album coming out this year that will be competition
interesting to hear different opinions about fatalism! i LOVE polaris and this album was incredible, though i’m really not a fan of the chorus for fault line- ironic that was the moment you said they’ve been stepping up with their choruses hahah but i do agree with that statement! the crossfire is without a doubt my favourite, followed very closely by parasite. absolute bangers 💪💪
FINIALLY someone else mentions Parasites. It’s so underrated and under appreciated when imo it’s the hardest and most powerful of the album. The whole thing is just RAGE RAGE RAGE. No one can deny its certainly different to the others
Got a new sub man, I love your reactions and this one in particular, we can see how happy you are discovering this album ! It's gonna be really hard to pick an album of the year but I can say for sure that this one is a REAL contender.
Invent Animate and Silent Planet are absolute juggernauts in the metalcore scene this year. Also excited for the new Dying Wish album which is dropping on the same day as the Silent Planet record.
God, this album is mixed terribly. How do you listen to those drums, as a drummer, and NOT ask the mixing engineer to dial back the parallell compression by like 50%. Not gonna comment on the uninsipired songwriting in depth, because for some reason a lot of people like this album and wanna defend it.
Love this album....Masterpiece
Dissipate is far away the best song on this album maybe their best song ever
That and crossfire. Those are my two favorite songs on this album. I think it’s two of their best in my opinion.
@centralia832 aftertouch, parasites, fault line, all in vain. Hard to pick a fav
@@MoeBro07 All in vein is now by far my favourite track after some relistens. God damn this album is good.
@@Crotes1990 ridiculously good
Thank you 👍 I jammed whole album for a bit but always come back to dissipate still. Driving late night to this song just feels right 👌
on repeat, all day, every day. I never thought the day would come that an album would finally dethrone Augment by Erra as my favourite album of all time. absolutely insane work, and some of these tracks hit so much harder now.
Drift, for me, but same
Self titled and Fit for a Kings recent album for me
This Album is on repeat....this is without a doubt The Album of the Year
Heavener is 1 for me, then TDWS, TMBTE and Fatalism 4th. But we still got Silent Planet that could take everyone's number 1 spot
Same here every work day starts with pressing play on Fatalism
masterclass by Daniel Furnari on this album. The guitarwork of Polaris gets so much credit and rightfully so but for me Dan steals the show on the kit - his creativity is unmatched
I'd put him up there with Alex Ballew for best current metalcore drummer
not to mention he also writes all the songs
@@MoeBro07 Alex is awesome and also a giant fan of Matt Young of Currents. Very pumped for this Polaris/Currents North American Tour next month lol
@noahjohnston9174 I haven't listened to near as much Currents as I should have but I've liked everything I have listened to. Didn't know they were gonna be touring together, I'ma have to check into that. Thanks for the heads up lol
Yeah this is Dan’s shining moment in his career. Just flexes all over this album.

The death we seek is the closest in comparison
Just hearing the "woos" from you in Harbinger makes me so anxious to see the reaction for the drop in Aftertouch 😂
The drop in Aftertouch is the most underrated on the whole record. It’s so dark and beautiful
The drop in Aftertouch made my stomach turn. It just gets so dark.
Album honestly caught me off guard in life in general. Thought for a minute I couldn’t be impressed/infatuated with an album anymore and fuckin BOOM

@@geraltoftexas7631 same.
This entire album is disgusting! Straight FCuking FIRE 🔥 Still waiting for the new Silent Planet & Of Mice And Men❤
So sick!
New silent planet I have a feeling it’s gonna be amazing and give this album a run for album of the year. It might be the only album coming out this year that will be competition
@@davidpwolfe I forgot to ask what’s ur top 3 on the new Polaris album here is mine #1 The Crossfire #2 Dissipate #3 Inhumane
2023 AOTY contender
For me it already is the AOTY
There’s some seriously stiff competition tho
Periphery V
Sleep token
Silent planet to name a few

parasites and dissipate are going to share the #1 spot for my favorite polaris song because I refuse to choose between the two
Great reaction David! Next you should do a reaction to Oktaf Kanis - Come On, thanks 🔥
Got a new sub man, I love your reactions and this one in particular, we can see how happy you are discovering this album !
It's gonna be really hard to pick an album of the year but I can say for sure that this one is a REAL contender.
Niiiiiiice reaction, dude, really fun to watch) love your videos, greetings from Ukraine❤
Thanks for watching! Glad you're here! 🤘
Between this, Periphery V, and Take Me Back To Eden, I'm going to have a lot of trouble picking my favorite album of the year.
Oh yeah, it's tight at the top this year!
Don’t forget silent planet drops in November!
Invent Animate and Silent Planet are absolute juggernauts in the metalcore scene this year. Also excited for the new Dying Wish album which is dropping on the same day as the Silent Planet record.
My first listen I was a bit disappointed, but damn this album grew on me!
Got a new sub I enjoyed your reaction!
Thanks! 🤘
absolutely high 9. Thanks for the upload!
Fault line is the best song.
Anyone else get Tron Legacy vibes with synth at start of first & last song??
On first listen to the last track I instantly thought of tron. That movie had such an awesome soundtrack.
