Fun fact, this song was mix and mastered by Ben Groose, he's also known to work alongside with Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed and many other big band names out there. Kinda cool innit
I love every song they've put out, for me I get a lot of early 2000's rock/metal feel from their songs in some way or another. This song.. easily my favorite! That chorus is just so damn huge! For real I can easilly see them on stage in front of a gigantic crowd and this being THE song that gets everyone hyped!
Not that you care, but Critikal's biggest vocal influence was Chino Moreno from Deftones. You can really hear that influence in The Gentle Men's song Real To Me. Speaking of, you should react to Real To Me.
Wait holy shit that's huge to me, they are one of my earliest inspirations and still an all time favorite to date. My goal is to create sort of a fusion band that takes stuff from nu-metal, blackened deathcore, prog, math rock, and shoegaze. I really want a deftones meets lorna shore meets dance gavin dance type deal. Not sure if I could feasibly fit all that in one song but maybe I do albums inspired by different styles. I also want to work in the jazz fusion and acapella worlds, since my college minor is in jazz and I have a huge passion for playing trombone and other jazz instruments.
I actually had that exactly happening to me: I discovered there song Real To Me on Spotify. and I've been jamming to it for months before I actually discovered it was Charlie singing!
@@Roguenjosh he's from New Zealand and him and Charlie have actually never met that's why the videos are cut together so you don't actually see them in the same shot lol
Hello sir Roguenjosh! Just wanted to inform you that The Gentle Men have JUST released their brand new 5 song EP on Friday and also released a new music video from the first song on it "What's Next" they'll also be releasing the new videos every week! and was hoping you would react to it at some point! :D
It still is a meme song on the conspiracy theory angle but if you don’t pick up on that right away it’s just super solid but I love all there songs even the super on the nose ones are great
With your bass player background, have you ever thought about reacting to TOOL? theyve got some gloriously impressive songs and every member is at the top of their game id recommend starting out with The Pot or Lateralus (if you like being thrown into the deep end)
Hey mags I’ve been listening to tool for most of my life, they’re a big part of how I learnt to play bass! So yeah, can’t react to songs I know so well!
I think Charlie is really getting a feel for this, like you can tell he is passionate. His screams are solid, but they sound somewhat like I did when I had been just getting into doing that vocal style correctly. That is not an insult in the slightest though, just like regular singing, screams and growls take a ridiculously long time to master, I still consider myself a beginner but I am starting to get a good grip on it and I am finding myself able to project and do some more wild deathcore techniques. You can't expect to sound like Will Ramos or Chino Moreno after a few years of releasing casual humorous songs. You can tell Charlie isn't some guru who's been doing this stuff for 10+ years, but that is perfectly normal and okay. Every new song released I hear both his cleans and harsh vocals getting better and better, he's doing it the right way, singing what he is comfortable with and working his way up. I liked your criticism at 3:09, I found that vocal to be underwhelming, mainly because I am spoiled by stuff like Lorna Shore lately, and I was expecting some massive double layered slam of vocal immortality. I expect years down the line we will likely see Charlie working on his range, he seems to be a natural bass and will probably explore the lower and higher ends of the registers (I can see him getting really fucking low, if he learned things like chest fry and subharmonics he could likely reach ridiculous low notes, another style I am passionate about) and his screams will likely push into more variety, while still being very unique. My favorite thing about it is that Charlie has such a ridiculously unique voice, and I can't wait to hear where he takes it. Edit: I would say that when you talked about the growl vocal and where it belongs, I don't entirely agree, but that is again down to technique and vocal maturity, Charlie doesn't have growls yet that can stand on their own in that context, if that makes any sense. Years down the line as he improves, he could growl all he fucking wants and it would be sick, also again, the mixing may have missed a bit in that moment.
compare to many of Critical's songs this one is definitely the best, but compare to other Metalcore bands, this is terrible and incredibly generic. doesn't mean I will stop listening to it, tho.

That’s awesome
wait... WHAT?!!!
That explains it. The Gentle Men sounds a lot like Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park, so I'm not too surprised
That's amazing!! Breaking Benjamin are the best and they definitely have BB vibes.
This is the greatest title of All Time
This is the greatest reply of All Time
This is the greatest comment thread of all time
This is the greatest unimportant guy of all time
This is the greatest moment of All Time
This is the greatest in-joke of All Time
in my opinion by far the most serious, well executed and emotional songs they’ve done and it really shows the pure talent these guys have

Yeah this is the one for me!!!

DUDE WHY WOULD I NOT CARE
@@Roguenjosh :D
Ive been thinking that some of the songs have resemblances to Deftones. There's a riff in Skynut that reminds me of Passenger by Deftones.

I keep coming back to this reaction it's sick
Thanks so much! I just did skynut on my last stream, I’ll post it here next week! (You can find it in my last twitch stream)
You gotta react to "real to me" by the gentle men next
Fun fact: the Drums in the beginning is a sample of Slipknots “Eyeless” track!
Charlie's growl is very reminiscent of Ed Butcher's vocals on 'Music for the recently deceased' by I Killed the Prom Queen
Fucking insane tune
Oh damn this vid slipped past my radar. Glad you finally checked this one out. Its so good. 😂
I loved it!
Such an underrated chanel, keep uploading reactions to the gentle men and one day charlie's going to react to this and ur going to blow up my friend!

Apparently this was produced by a guy who also produced for breaking benjamin from what I heard
Yeah that’s awesome!
I actually had that exactly happening to me:
I discovered there song Real To Me on Spotify. and I've been jamming to it for months before I actually discovered it was Charlie singing!
Hell yes, i've been waiting for this

@@Roguenjosh he's from New Zealand and him and Charlie have actually never met that's why the videos are cut together so you don't actually see them in the same shot lol
Damn this song has such a great structure!
I'm hoping they put out another album.
The intro of this song is literally eyeless by slipknot lol
💯

LOATHE - I let it in and it took everything (AOTY2020) LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Best Song of 2020 Hands down
‘Hands down’ was also the best song of 2002

The golden days

My top 3 from these dudes have got to be skynut, 2004 breakup and obsession 🤘
God you can't wait for skynut.... It's pretty great
Well you’ve got a great name so I’ll have to trust you
I'm back again 2 weeks later
the song is still kind of comedic if u read the lyrics LOL
The best way I can put this is basically architects ft.m0istCr1tikal

If you like this one you'll love skynut
Such a sick band

First view first like first comment 😬
Luis you’re a legend hahaha
Funny enough this songs still kinda jokey. It talks about the people on the internet that are whacljob conspiracy theories. Like facebook boomers
I am gay of all time
If you look at the lyrics theyre poking fun at the online alt right community and conspiracy theorists
compare to many of Critical's songs this one is definitely the best, but compare to other Metalcore bands, this is terrible and incredibly generic.
doesn't mean I will stop listening to it, tho.
