@Nik Nocturnal they are incapable of being mediocore, and it shows. Ridiculously good. Everything a 17 year old in the metalcore scene could want in 2006 lol.
music is subjective so i'm not wrong. big erra fan i just don't like this song and think the chorus is boring/a bit annoying. i just found it interesting considering impulse/augment/drift have killer choruses or even "breach" and "ghost of nothing" which choruses shit on this song. to each their own.
@@tromboneman4517 of course, it's just felt like for the past few years bands that used to nail it completely just forgot how to write fun energetic 0 breakdowns. It's quite funny how that's generally the least difficult part of a song to write. Most of the time it just felt like they were trying to skirt around having a fun breakdown even if it feels like it would fit perfectly after a buildup or bridge.
I never was a huge Erra fan as I am no musician and they always seemed "to progy" to me to listen to but now, I went throught all their catalog and I bloody love every single piece of music that they ever put out. It is absolutely otherworldy and I love that. Being a creative driven person their music is able to inspire me and give me energy I´ve not experienced many times before
@@matildagreene It is crazy to me as I put on an album, get to work, listen two songs, zone out and just feel on a wave of something beyond me just gliding above. Until I realize that for who knows how long the album is finished and I´ve been just banging my head to a melody that wasn´t in my headphones while being super inspired
I was the same way I always thought they were trying to hard to be different and then I found ghost atlas Jesse's other project and I really loved it so i gave erra another shot and now they are by far my favorite band.
My ex: I always feel so uncomfortable when I watch this guy listen to music Me: Why? This guy is amazing Her: Cos he always looks like he's having sexual things done to him and he's not sure if he likes it Nik Nok and the confusing sex metal hahaha
Erra fans Architects fans Novelists fans Landmvrks fans Oceans ate Alaska fans ...all the people have different tastes , but all this bands are very creative and the important is that the Rock and Metal have an amazing present and future 🔥🔥🤘
@@adamtrout7711 I’m not saying to literally relax 😆. I mean’t it like woah woah woah relax with a statement like that. Like I said I love me some Erra but blow out of the water is a giant stretch especially if you’re referring to all of wss music and not just the singles.
@@adamtrout7711 I think you’re sleeping on the Sleeps bros Lol. In my opinion their last 3 albums are flawless and hold a special place in my heart so as much as I love Erra’s new album I could never say it trumps the whole Sleeps catalog. But I respect your opinion. Can’t even be mad because it’s Erra. I just hope you don’t give up on WSS, there’s just something special about them man. More than a band.
Before listening to ERRA i was binge watching Nik's video and i was like... "Oh what is this? Era snowblod? I've never heard of this band before" then i watched.. and.. the rest is history. Thanks nik! ❤️
Nik you have to check out a band called Landmvrks! They just dropped an album too. In particular Say No Word. The heaviest on the album. But the whole album bangs!
@@J.00a Because it doesn't fit the flow of the rest of the album. And they recorded it with their previous record label. This album is with a new label so presumably the last one owns the rights to Eye Of God and it's also produced differently.
@@AutomaticDuck300 I'll have to disagree about not fitting the album. I think there's plenty of heavy songs that do justice for it to be part of the album. But since you mentioned the label situation, it makes sense. Well, I'll just download it and include it as a bonus track then.
I love this band to bits. While others are copying each other, ERRA always stand out. Always innovating, masterful and genuine. You can just tell with every release, they're always strive for quality. Always picking up the current cliches in the genre and turn them into something else into a higher level.
He said "are you done??" Lmao bro knowing every twist to this song and then watching for your reaction to every one of them is everything to me 😂 love it
This is The Chorus of 2021! Just came back to Niks reaction once more. Gungrave is Impulse/Augment levels and cannot think of a much higher compliment!
My first show ever (2022 haha) was the Beartooth The Below Part 2 set in Anaheim, Erra opened with this song haha. Immediately got smacked in the face by that intro riff. Followed by Devil Weirs Prada, Silverstein, and then Beartooth. It was sick as fuck.
the guitarist that sings is crazy talented. my dad, who doesn’t like screaming, doesn’t like the band but he lovessss some songs just for the singing and guitar
This is the first album in a while that I haven't been able to stop spinning. I've probably listened to it 3 times a day since it came out. Setting a high bar for the year, and this might be my favorite Erra album, its so good
My favorites on this album change a lot because it's all so good! Great video and EVERYBODY make sure you check out Termina's album when it releases!!!!
I'm constantly surprised but somehow not surprised on how literally EVERY album is better than the one before...not discrediting any of their past albums because I still blast them, but these guys just seem to never stop getting better. I have a hard time avoiding envy when I hear these guys' level of talent.
Funnily enough, Jesse Cash (lead guitar and clean vocals) has said that Anthony Green is a major influence on his singing style. Anthony was the original singer for Saosin.
@@AutomaticDuck300 I can see why, they both sound soo similar. Yea i think he even came back with their newest album (Anthony Green) . It was so fucking good
I can't believe I missed out on this song for so long. I kept skipping it because the intro riff sounded too similar to an old ABR song and they just didn't get my attention... until today. Holy shit, the riffage! It's so sick
*disgustingly good album*
The riffage is literal assault lol. So f’n good.
@Nik Nocturnal they are incapable of being mediocore, and it shows. Ridiculously good. Everything a 17 year old in the metalcore scene could want in 2006 lol.
And yes, your guitars are just starring at you in the background like...."peasant"...
Lol 4:08
I could have sworn you said about a year or 2 ago that you never paid much attention to Erra.
I seem to like every song in this amazing album
Every song is a banger
I think everyone love this album
It seems that this album has no bad songs.
That vocal melody during the chorus took me back to my mid to late 2000s nostalgia
Omg same
Some Devil Wears Prada action.
The melody at "You can leave it all behind" is very close to the line "When you know who you are" from _It's So Simple_ by Saosin.
@@thecrashtestgenius1 yeah so true
@@thecrashtestgenius1 Caught that too!
this song has genuinely one of the best choruses i've ever heard in my life. i really wish it was done at least one more time in the song
interesting. i found this chorus annoying.
@@iwhxiwbdiqbxjdb that’s crazy. didnt know someone could be that wrong

This whole entire album is riff paradise
I mean its ERRA I expect nothing less
@@CathDamienn1776 True, can't argue with that
Really made me want to get a 7 string guitar even more
best metal album of the year for sure!
Definitely 👌
ain't it too early to say that bro? hahahah
lots of cool stuff coming this year
Välde by Humanity's Last Breath would like to have a word :)
@@MatheusGoncalves-ix6mt tbh i think it is too early, the album do be good but idk, feels a bit overhyped lol
какие люди
Whenever I hear an erra song, my whole damn body fills with child like joy
I swear Jesse is single handedly the greatest guitarist in current metalcore. That's not a knock on the rest of them. That's just how insane Jesse is.
Nik is seriously speedrunning all of last weeks heavy bangers
Honestly, all of his Friday stream on Twitch was basically checking out ALL the new music 😱
'Phrost
@@NikNocturnalTwitchClips I didn't get to catch the live but cheers for uploading the reactions, can never get enough Nik
I'm so damn happy they remembered how to write 0s. Crying.
When it’s not the whole song (exception for Meshuggah), it’s cool to have 0-0-0-0 riffs.

@@matildagreene singularly from northlane had the same vibe for me
this band doesn't miss.
Some people don't like Neon, but that album really is fine. Erra just demands so much more.
@@dudeg6967 I love neon.
2024 update - they missed😕
every Erra chorus always makes me feel like I'm listening to a metalcore Saosin.
Wow… I never thought of it that way. It really does sound that like, in a great way
fuck yeah bro, a fan of saosin, and when i heard this song, i went nutsss
I know this is late, but even augment has a TON of saosins sound in it.
My ex: I always feel so uncomfortable when I watch this guy listen to music
Me: Why? This guy is amazing
Her: Cos he always looks like he's having sexual things done to him and he's not sure if he likes it
Nik Nok and the confusing sex metal hahaha
I can't that's too true lmfao
Making Nik sound like he has a Harry Potter type book series named after him. Sequel called "Nik Nok and the Chonky Bleghs" or something lol
Lmao
I wish I didn't read this, now that's all I see 🤣
Lol.. Probably why the Thumbnail of his While She Sleeps reaction got blocked. XD
This is the best progressive metalcore album of years I swear
Honestly at least for me I feel like there’s a slight chance that terminal my compete with them this year
The Controller album of Misery Signals is close in my heart too.
Kings of their domain as always. First band I look for when concerts get going again.
"So good it kind of makes me mad dude" RIGHT. It's just so damn good.
YES soon as this record came out been wanting a reaction to this song
Erra fans
Architects fans
Novelists fans
Landmvrks fans
Oceans ate Alaska fans
...all the people have different tastes , but all this bands are very creative and the important is that the Rock and Metal have an amazing present and future 🔥🔥🤘
All bands above are my fav. Especially OAA ♥
2021 is going to be a brutally awesome year for metal!!!
@@mfadel1012 same!!!
Amen
Currents too
Eidolon is literally my ideal metal song
Heard that
Thank you I agree
That song hits me so goddamn hard.
100% agree
Thats what Architects could’ve been like for their latest album but they fucked up lmao
I literally thought August Burns Red - Barbarian when I heard that intro.
Glad someone else is old enough to notice
Yesss. Been sayin this
Was gonna comment the same thing lol
I thought of the Hit me Baby One More Time cover! Haha
Seth Rollins' WWE theme music :D
This and Electric Twilight are fun as hell.
I am in love with Electric Twilight!
While She Sleeps drops the single “Nervous”
Nik: Double check
Erra and BoO deserved the priority 100%

They're all the best tracks on the album
This band is absolutely next level. So good.
Jesse Cash will always be one of my favorite guitarist and he is so underrated and not just his guitar playing but his singing as well. 🤘
This song hits everything
Those melodic vocals give me goosebumps like *oooof*. Yes Erra
This whole album smacks hard.. I’ve offered to buy it for several people because it’s the greatest gift I could give someone 🤘
new erra album, i didn't know what we were gonna get but it's so good i swear
album of the year
I'm a horrendous misanthrope who thinks that the human race deserves nothing but death and destruction.
But this album is a good case against that.
i've been WAITING for this vid since the album came out lol
Glad you're that productive, keep them coming Nik!
This album is a masterpiece.
I don't understand why they didn't include "Eye Of God" though. I can understand that QOTSA Cover, but Eye Of God def. deserved to be a part of it.
@@J.00a Because it doesn't fit the flow of the rest of the album. And they recorded it with their previous record label. This album is with a new label so presumably the last one owns the rights to Eye Of God and it's also produced differently.

@@J.00a Because it came out so long ago and was also on a different label. I agree that i could've fit on this album for sure though
@@J.00a why would it be included? It was released in 2018 before they even started recording the new album.
Jesse sometimes sounds like Cove from Saosin, really amazing cleans and then JT destroyyyys. Sick reaction, man!
Last time I checked their page, Saosin was actually one of their listed influences
Jesse has said that Cove was a major influence to his singing
And Anthony Green
That chorus literally gave me chills!!
Been eagerly awaiting you to review this album since it dropped
Whole album nowwww!!
This album might be turning out to be one of my favorite metal albums EVER. Loved erra forever but this might be their best so far
You’re RUDE 😂😂
This was for sure a banger
My favorite song by them will forever be Drift, but I don’t think there is a single Erra song that isn’t a 10/10 to me.
Dude for me it’s Dementia. That guitar outro just...it’s gorgeous.
@@MrVonkliest same here. Dementia is their pinnacle at least for me
YES!! Was waiting for this reaction!!!
I wasn't that into Erra to begin with when they started out but my fucking god this album is by far the best album so far this year
Riff at the end is one of my favorites of all time, pure filth.
i walk through school with my headphones on and when a breakdown happens its hard to restrain myself from headbanging in the middle of the hallway
YESSIR

Greetings from Brazil!
Anyone else watching this just waiting patiently for 4:07 to hit? 😅
Hilarious reaction Nik!

Gungrave is Impulse/Augment levels and cannot think of a much higher compliment!
gungroove
Your content never seems to disappoint me. Love the reactions!
I already loved this band, but this one is a masterpiece.
Alex is definitely one of the more underrated drummers in the genre. The guy is a fucking animal.
I'm hyped to hear what you think about the new Northale ;o !!
Erra really went for the fuckin kill with the album, every single song is tight.
God that riff is so good. Fucking love Jesse
Thanks Nik! So on top of the genre!
lmao, your bands album drops on my birthday, definitely something to look forward boiii
Thanks for introducing me to my new favorite band Nik. You're awesome.
If ERRA had their own flavor of soup it would be Campbell's Chunky ones and zeros with zesty ambient.
I don't know why your mind is on soup, but I agree 🤣

I've never watched him on Twitch. Gonna sub so I can finally catch this stuff live for once.
"Techy boys" that they are, such an amazing album
I think we ALL made that face at 4:30 when JT comes back in
Been waiting for this react since I first heard it. Lol
As a 31 year old who has been listening to metalcore since its inception, this is the best metalcore album of all time.

THIS was the one i was fr lookin forward to seeing Nik’s reaction lol

Your album comes out on my birthday!!!!
You're late to the party. The whole album is an absolute banger
He listened to the entire album minus this one song live on stream on release day, so not too late
Nik said at the beginning of the video that he reacted to the entire album on Twitch. Not sure how you missed that.
Man that clean voalist sounds sooo much like the lead for saosin that i swore it was the same person. Love it
Funnily enough, Jesse Cash (lead guitar and clean vocals) has said that Anthony Green is a major influence on his singing style. Anthony was the original singer for Saosin.
