    I understand the "oof" reaction to long sections of fast double bass, but I don't always want to be comfortable when I listen to metal. That's what things like the "stank face" are about, it's a sort of natural recoil from intensity and chaos. But I don't want to recoil from it completely, I want it to flow around me, as if I were standing strong in a raging river.

    • @aldersmoke1

      I agree with him. I love metal but constant double bass is the opposite of intense or uncomfortable to me. It just turns into a wash and loses its impact. It's like turning everything up to 10. There's nowhere left to go.

    When I hear the machinegun drums, I use it as an opportunity to focus on the other instriments and how they use the backdrop of noise to enhance their sound. I can't keep focusing on the monotony, but using it as a base for other parts is where it's at.

    13:15 There was a glitch in the matrix that revealed Richard to be a hologram!
    Another band that has a lot of poetic lyrics that can probably be analyzed a lot from different perspectives is Be'lakor. They're actually a little bit similar to Gojira to me. I would love to see some Be'lakor on the channel. Songs I'd suggest as starters:
    -Countless Skies
    -In Parting
    -An Ember's Arc
    -Much More Was Lost
    Those second 2 are part of concept albums that tell stories. An Ember's Arc is the start of a story for its album and it's about the fusion in the sun creating a photon of light, so there's no needed context other than "it continues from there". Much More Was Lost is the last song of an album, so just for context the people that the kids come across in their adventures in that song are references to victims of tragic lives in the other songs. It's about the kids losing their innocence and blissful ignorance of the sadness of the world so to speak. The album as a whole is a collection of tragic stories of people living around a mountain over time.
    (I'm gonna keep bringing them up until you guys check them out! haha)

    I had a similar issue with non-stop double bass and all. To be honest, I still don't enjoy Cannibal Corpse or such all that much. But for me the difference always was somewhere around "is it a genre thing or is it a musical thing." If it's just bashing through, start to finish, every song on the album, I'm not getting it. But if it's a color in your palette, then sure.
    For that matter, chunking double bass each bar is not all that different from having it all the way through, say, a chorus (especially when it's not _every_ chorus). The double bass moments of this song are the moments of the most intensity. To me, it's a little like a classical or theatrical thing. You had your chill moments, you have your intense moments. While relistening to this particular one, the structure and the intent are very much audible. That is what separates the greatest metal bands from the "genre" bands for me, whether it be Metallica, Gojira or some obscure one-album black metal act. You either give an emotion story or you don't and just bash the can.
    Great reaction as always tho, and the 50 Cent version was fire lol. Cheers!

    I think whales in this song represent a guiding force that would lead us in the right direction if we learned to followed it. A force of nature, force of unity. But we, humans, have failed nature and forgot the way of the whale. We betrayed the way of nature.
    I strongly believe that Gojira didn't intend to make a simple fantasy song about flying whales since a lot of their songs have similar subjects regarding climate change and the way humans are ruining the planet and hence ourselves.

I will say; I haven't personally researched or looked into the deeper meaning of this song, but I think all of what has been said rings a bell. That said, I find this song excruciatingly difficult to listen to because of its theme and/or meaning, and I'm happy Judson shone a light onto the topic, even if the song has been out for almost 20 years.
    On the topic of the double kickdrum pattern, I think its funny and quaint how Judson put it that it didn't mesh well with his biology, but I do think if used, sporadically, can change the dynamic of a song for the better. I think a huge tip is to expose yourself to the unfamiliarity; and how it that concept can apply to multiple things in life itself.

    these guys opened for Mastodon and i bought tickets to see Mastodon and they stole the show. And a brother connection with Joe and Mario makes it even more interesting. and they started really brutal and have evolved beautifully… still keeping it heavy but more melodic later on. and personally i love their concern for the earth and the damage we do as humans. kinda of metal hippie in a way. pretty cool

      I watch a shit ton of reaction videos (it grew on me) but I wasn’t a fan either… but I realized that it’s someone “reacting” to a song. Needless to say I’m a fan of people’s initial reaction to a song. The pausing is essential in my opinion. It lets them convey their thoughts before they forget.😂😂🤘🤘🤘

    Morbid Angel was a huge influence for Gojira. The pick scrape sound attributed to Gojira came from Morbid Angel.

  • @kahwigulum
    @kahwigulum 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Gmin Dmin and Bbmaj are all related to each other. Metal guitars are usually de-tuned to drop-D, and most of the rock and blues that inspired proto-metal was in Bb, which then carried over into modern metal, so you're probably picking up on the Gmin feeling from that.

  • @blaeser13
    @blaeser13 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    The talk of the DJ that plays too fast got me thinking that you should do a track from Igorrr. I don't think Judson would necessarily _like_ Tout Petit Moineau @ Dour Festival 2014, but he'd probably find it interesting 😂

    If you want to get Judson to bite his teeth into another great technical metal band, why not try Car Bomb? They've toured with Gojira and Joseph Duplantier likes them enough to have done guest vocals on a couple of their songs and even produced their third album, titled Meta, together with the band's guitarist. I would personally suggest Gratitude as a good song to showcase how creative and skilled they are, and it happens to be from the album Meta.

    Agreed with Judson. Blast beats , especially elongated ones, sound to me like I'm listening to music with construction works taking place in the next building.

      @M0rket 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That's fair. For me, it's something I sometimes need. Or want. Or require. Or... crave? The difference is in the structure. Blast beats are structured, whereas construction noise is not. It's just noise.

    i can't begin to express.... how fond i am.... of this interaction of musical genres/styles..... all i wanna say to the Pianist, who im afraid i dont really know the name, is the following: you can't even imagine the amount of micro melodies one can hide within distortion..... and u wont understand that until you go deeper, down the rabbit hole... stuff like "Sunn O)))" .... always give music a chance, all sorts of music... it's no coincidence that there are more chances of finding similarities to Rachmaninoff in Metal than any other musical genre outside classical... Anthony Hopkins composed a Waltz and is a KNOWN metalhead... Sir Cristopher Lee was a metalhead aswell, despite being a well known classical raised gentleman... Blessings upon Ye, sons of men... and give ART a chance 😁

    There are no coincidences. Judson expressed a distaste for the double bass. Considering this occurs during a Gojira video maybe he should give *Where Dragons Dwell* by *Gojira* a listen. It could be interesting.
    I highly recommend the official LIVE version which I linked above. (great quality no worries)

    G minor is the "Black Sabbath" key. It's in our DNA. Also, only 2 flats, and G major is the most popular guitar composition key, so feels kinda familiar, but not too comfy.

    @regeman100 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I never knew the "lore" of the album, i always interpreted that song kind of literally. As if the singer is the person that leads the almost extinguished during flood race of humans. They travel what once was the land but now is covered in water and they look for the whales in the sky (surface of the water) as whales are often swimming near coasts. Basically story of humans trying to find the land thats left on earth.

  • @sharlacher8
    @sharlacher8 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    That constant kick represents where we're at in the story of the lyrics as well. It feels chaotic and unrelenting compared to the rest of the song, which mirrors the chaotic nature of being given these enlightened whales view of humanity and seeing how we're destroying ourselves.

    With his interests in constellations and story, play the duo "From Mars // To Siruis". He'd not only love the music, but the lyrics.
    Also, when Mario is doing the double bass rolls, always listen to what he is doing on the top half. He is often doing patterns and melodies on the brass, or ghost notes and accents on the snare, usually in melody with the guitars. Think of the double bass as a canvas, and the art goes on top.

    I think Judson would like more of the melodic metal. "From the inside" or "sound of the bell" by Orbit Culture. Otherwise we could to go back to the old Gothenburg sound.
