I wonder if people realize how difficult of a song this is vocally? It’s like each syllable he utters is a different note, all up and down the scale! Josh’s vocals are outstanding on all the songs in this album, but this one and Caravel are probably the most vocally challenging. Obsessed!
EXACTLY....All those vocal inflections....very difficult. Josh's voice has been getting better and better. Crossing my fingers when touring starts he stays healthy, cause the vocals throughout this album can take a toll night after night.
“The Battle at Garden’s Gate” is, unequivocally, one of the most immersive sonic experiences I’ve had in a long while. Very, very few bands can truly pull this off nowadays on this level. At slightly over 1 hour, this is one massive album, and the songs are simply epic. The opening track sets the tone for the whole, and the last one, The Weight of Dreams, (not to mention Broken Bells, Age of Machine and Tears of Rain) rivals the best songs in rock music. That’s a bold statement, but I think it’s apt. The album as a whole, in its unity and complexity, is a very powerful statement indeed. Kudos, guys. 🙌🙌🙌
I agree with you 100%. I do a radio show every week and I have been saying for months, this is the best rock album of the year. Nothing comes close. Saw them a few days ago in Connecticut. The very young to the very old , loved the show. They G.V.F. have truly something special.

@@jaimealvarado4421 They've busted down the doors of Rock & Roll in the 21st century. They're a beacon of hope that tells us that this is still possible. They've sparked something special among the youth of today, including myself.

Julian Vargas. Oh yeah he is! I honestly feel like every one of them is striving for their very best efforts, and I know all of us who appreciate their work are feeling the love lately.
so many people leaving hate in their facebook comments about how he’s “over singing,” but that harsh, raw sound is why I love his voice so much. It adds so much power to anything he sings.
they’re just mad because all of their favorite artists under sing. i’d rather have these beautiful inflections over a monotone whisper. their idea of over singing is absolutely divine in many other’s opinions
@@shartmaster25 meaning they can't sing. It's irritating rhat they have to come here and hate. Maybe I should go to all rhe "singers" that I don't care for and leave some hate. Shit on what they love. But I won't cuz I'm a grown up🙄
Some people seem to have forgotten that music in an art is there to express emotions. Here there are true emotions, real feelings vocalized. Funny thing, all the perfect smooth technical rendered and undersung songs in pop started to go on my nerve. Glad I discovered Greta
Not sure if you've been to one yet but when you do your life will never be the same. I am not a fanboy I loved Greta before I went to the concert after I went to the concert I sold my soul to them.
JUST WANTED TO SAY TO YOU GUYS... NEVER LISTEN TO THE STUPID CRITICS, JUST DO YOUR THING ALWAYS, HOWEVER YOU FEEL. STAY TRUE TO YOURSELVES AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE AND PERFECT 👑
I'm 23 years old and this band makes me feel nostalgic for times that I never knew. Thank you Greta for giving something good to the new generations. So much love from México
Man they're awesome. Something special is happening in this group. I just hope they stay on the straight and narrow, and they don't let the entertainment elites take them and twist them up into something they're not. Stay true to your music boys... the rest will take care of itself.
I am sure they will remain to their integrity. They are very special souls that have come to resurrect the music scene. Lol 😅I love them. A cross between zep and journey and rush with some cosmic angelic dust.
that's so refreshing isn't it? the time we wait for the songs to be made is worthwhile. when they deliver - they deliver. almost any other artist will maybe sometimes showcase a 3 min mashup of the whole album or a 30 sec snippet... and we have only just begun!
@@kemdo123 You don’t know all the things they do, they send cards and flowers to their fans, they made a listening party of the new album with everyone, never seen any band do that.
Beautiful! I love this song. Can't tell you how many times I listened to it. WHY aren't these songs played on the radio? I think we should all call our favorite stations and request GVF. I JUST found out about them and that was because my friend caught them on You Tube and told me. Now a fan. I'm one of those 60 yr olds. Led Zeppelin is still my favorite band and I'm so happy for GVF to bring that 70's sound to all of you. Also happy that they don't mess with and change up a song while doing it live. There is so much talent here it's explosive. Good luck guys.
Yes, I shuffle between South Carolina and Michigan…I want to say, it may have been a station in upper Michigan where I heard one of their songs,….. can’t remember what station, ……
His vocals are so amazing, there’s artists today that can’t even do live performances without having backing vocals. His voice is just beautiful and raw
If they make a few consistent albums where all their songs are as good as theses, they will go down in history as one of the most musically talented rock bands in history - mark my words
A singer has to be a musical genius, magician and true artist to carry a bands vocal ALONE which this beautiful man does. Idk any band that has a lone vocalist. It’s the best thing I’ve heard in years. They sound like seasoned musicians and they’re just starting out. Insane
Yeah, definitely my favorite. The entire album is amazing. But I'm obsessed with this song. Don't know how many times I've listened to the live version. Josh's voice is just phenomenal 😍
The song just makes me feel like I’m floating through the wild without a care in the world. I feel truly at peace when I listen to this album and I am an just a ball of anxiety and stress. This band is the reason that I’m able to calm down and just be at peace with the world. Thank you boys so much, not only for saving my life, but for saving so many others as well with your angelic music. We are eternally grateful for all of you☮️💜
Amazing how good this almost stripped down performance is. No string section, Sam on bass for most of it, and yet it still sounds huge. Epic song and epic band.
So, this is what it was like in the late 60's and early 70's when people were experimenting with LSD and the bands said "Hey, listen to this. It will blow your mind!". Well, MIND BLOWN!!!!!!!!
I think I've never loved an album the way I'in love with the battle at the garden's gate. Light my love,broken bells,heat above, stardust chords... Perfection! That's why it's almost impossible for starcatcher to be at the same level, but I'd love to be surprised!!!
Judy in Nanaimo BC Canada ❤....love, love, love this tune. The vocals are simply yet crazily complex, rich with magic.....I am so happy to have discovered GVF in my old age 😊
I hate to compare sounds of bands (the similarity is obvious and intentional which is totally fine) but I have a lot of friends here in Nashville that oddly enough don't get it. The way I usually explain GVF to someone that has dismissed them or just not heard of them before I have them sit down and listen to them in my control room is this - Imagine that Led Zeppelin had been able to continue and mature as a band together...getting tighter and even more skilled for the last 43 years...for me, that's GVF. Great band.
And this ladies and gentlemen is the beginning of our best rock and indie bands and fuckin everything. Welcome back 70,s-90,s spirit my god have we missed you
You know how great bands have a weak link - a band mate not up to par with the others? Well, GVF is an all-star band. Everyone is a master of their craft and it shows!
I wonder if people realize how difficult of a song this is vocally? It’s like each syllable he utters is a different note, all up and down the scale! Josh’s vocals are outstanding on all the songs in this album, but this one and Caravel are probably the most vocally challenging. Obsessed!
EXACTLY....All those vocal inflections....very difficult. Josh's voice has been getting better and better. Crossing my fingers when touring starts he stays healthy, cause the vocals throughout this album can take a toll night after night.
some of the guitar parts are very challenging as well
Agreed, heard some of these songs on the album and was like, there’s no way he could replicate this in a live performance... proved me wrong lol
As a vocalist, I never once thought of that. Damn.
I think Tears of Rain is the most vocally challenging of all
One of the best on the album. That intro is angelic.
That's the Stardust Chords with the God's voice... ops, Josh's voice!
It's my favorite
Yeah my fave off the album
Agree Magical… Super Rock Stars 2022!!! Our generation🕯🎶🤍🎶
Definitely one of my favorite songs
60 years old and have not wanted to buy an album in 30 years. This one I have. Great work
What was the last one you bought before, 30 years ago?
Me too!! Bought all 3
63 here and GVF my new fav band!
Yeah!!!!🕯🎶🤍
I agree.
They really do be spoiling us with these live performances
Not gonna complain tho amirite?

Agreed!!
Honestly it just comes off as a little pretentious. They don't have the charisma like queen to pull of the classic european grandeur look imo
If the best anyone can do is compare them to bands that are 30+ years old, there must have been something missing from music the last 30 years.
Nailed it, Urban. Really. This album is a MASTERPIECE!!

God damn, it's been many, many years since I rewound a song instantly to listen to it again. Greta Van Fleet is beyond ridiculously amazing.
"beyond ridiculously amazing." Yep. Couldn't put it better myself.
Josh really shines in those higher registers. In the past I feel like he has tried to stay lower but man he belongs singing those high notes.

1:03, and we're all like "oh snap, Sammy hopped up off them keys and swapped for his bass. It's time to GET. FUNKY."
The absolute best rock and roll and soul band to hit the 21st century. Their vibe hits home on so many levels. Come back to Canada or Seattle soon!!!
Without a doubt the best vocalist of our generation.
