Seeing all the metal elitists saying "its not heavy enough" is so annoying. It doesn't NEED to be a raging and brutal song to be good! Bands need to evolve to stay fresh and relevant, and Slipknot are absolutely killing it 😊
yeah, i call them the "volume 3 elitists" since the most brutal era of slipknot was the first three albums, people want that era of slipknot but dont want anything that is still slipknots awesome sound
V-Man showed out in this one. Slipknot usually doesn't have a lot of heavy bass lines, but this song is killer. Each member had a small solo section for this song, and it sounds awesome.
Every Slipknot album is like that. Every time you listen to it you're like fuck that bass is good, holy shit those drums, and the way the mixing ties it to together. Fucking chef's kiss.
I actually appreciate that they are going for more dynamics. I love the atmospheric intro and outro. Anyone can be really heavy and aggressive now but, to blend it with unexpected elements and make it work? That's being an artist and not pandering to your fan base. For those saying,"it's not heavy enough", go start your own band and create redundancy.
This song really caught me off guard. It's much different than anything Slipknot has done before and that's not a bad thing, I loved how technical this song was. This song blows "Chapeltown Rag" out of the water imo, I want more Slipknot songs like this! Maggots for life!! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
Well, "much different than anything Slipknot has done before"...the verse is clearly from their beginnings, is sounds a lot like (sic) or My Plague...the structure of the song is something fresh and funny, just one verse, couple of bridges, a solo just after their first chorus...that's "proggy" in a certain way. But definitely I wouldn't say something Slipknot hasn't done before...
I love their earlier stuff a lot like IOWA but man i love the evolution they've done even more. All Hope is Gone and Vol. 3 are mt favorite albums and they have been keeping the style from those and fine tuning it and it's working so well in my opinion
All hope is gone is the best album for them , Paul and Joey puch to the rest of the band to do a better album . But this song still gold , better his last album by the way
Heard this last night on the little speakers at work, haven't had it through the big speakers yet... but yeah, sounds amazeballs. They worked very closely with their early producer, but had enough label support by their 3rd album... to work with Rick Rubin. Vol. 3 is a beautiful album, it's when the flower really started to open. The first albums are brilliant and raw, but lack the breadth. They've since gone to consistently evolve their sound. Over the years of dealing with the loss of key members, they've still show an ability to progress. Anyways, new masks look sic af. 🤘🧙♂️🤘 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
I just started listening to some metal and yeah I don’t remember them sounding like this before. Like he said this is clear while still punching you in the face, if that makes sense. I know it’s production, but it makes it interesting to me. I thought this was awesome 🤘🏼 This world of metal has so many cracks to follow. Heavy, prog, symphonic, I have to say there’s a lot to go through. Some 20-30 years in their catalog of music. I still can’t do death metal. I know why it has a place in this genre though.
Honestly the first time I heard this song, it blew me away with the clean vocals, and the boulder heavy drums and guitars. Even V- Man showed off with his bass in this one. And that's rare for slipknot to show off a bass line. The drummer Jay Weinberg gets better and better with each album, not taking away anything from Joey Jordison, but geez, Jay Weinberg is definitely a close 2nd! Every new album slipknot makes, the production value just goes through the roof. I have a good feeling that this new album is going to be smoking hot and killer heavy. Moreso than any other so far! Rest in peace Joey Jordison and Paul Gray, you guys would be so proud as two of the founding members of slipknot!
For years I've been listening to Slipknot and following their work and I love it their work is constantly evolving! Gotta say, one of the things that's making them stand out is the fact that they do things exactly in the way how they want. They implement what they want and that makes them kinda unique. Geebz keep up with the awesome work!
Slipknot truly are so talented! I dont usually listen to their music, it's not really my style, but I seen them live a few years ago at a music festival and it gave me an appreciation for them. Although I still don't listen to their music, I would 100% see them live again if the opportunity was there. They have an amazing stage presence and know how to entertain and work a crowd.
Never a slipknot fan, not quite my kind of music, but I respect their longevity because it comes from staying true to yourself. Trend followers die with the trend.
I don't usually watch reaction videos but there's something so cool about seeing a "thing" from a different perspective. Would love to see you do the videos for Solway Firth and/or Unsainted. This Slipknot journey has been awesome.
I repeat: Your experience in the field of music and tech helps with how you have an actual solid perspective to talk about and dissect any song intellectually on the fly, unlike all the others "reacting“ to it by just staring blankly at music video or so, occasionally smirking and with nothing to say in the end \,,/
Amazing, I love where this new album seems to be going. Kinda new but also familiar style for them, each song so far takes a few listens to really understand the flow of it, but I love that. You hear something new every time, I know I will be listening to this album for months on end once I can get hold of it!
Loved the video, your reaction really adds a lot to it. Your experience in the field helps with how you can talk about and dissect a song like this off the top of your head unlike all the others „reacting“ to it by just sitting there lol Regarding the song, I actually really like it and am surprised by the direction they’re taking. Just wish the heaviness from the first minute or so came back later on.
If anyone says this song isn’t heavy they are just refusing to accept that the old Slipknot in the past is exactly that… in the past. After the intro when the song kicks in that first verse is one of the heaviest parts of a Slipknot song they have made since AHIG
@@Garotte14 it amazes me all the time the talent and hard work that’s put in for someone to get to that level of skill. I think most of the metal bands I’ve been exposed to over the last 3-4 years have surprised me with the exceptional talent they have. I never listened to metal, been a punk rocker my whole life. And of course there’s talent, metal bands aren’t new, but I couldn’t see it before. To be fair metal/pop music in the 80’s was def not for me (step in leather jacket and Mohawk). I think symphonic metal was the perfect path in for me. The other thing I notice is they are ALL HAVING A BLAST!! There’s no fakery about it, they have a passion to play and perform. More so than pop because metal isn’t mainstream on the radio. Just like the punk bands I listen too. They know that their live shows are what keeps their fans coming back year after year. That real connection they have. Unlike some pop star lip syncing the whole show. It’s really ignited a new passion for me in a genre of music I’d never thought I’d be interested in. Although it’s overwhelming trying to listen to 20-30 years of music from all these bands. So I don’t know all the names, lyrics, songs, or members but I am happily learning. I still can’t do death metal 😂
Geebz, surprised you haven’t done any Nothing More stuff. Especially if you’re into bass tones. If you want something new, “Tired of Winning/Ships in the Night” is a good one. Other good options would be “Friendly Fire”, “Don’t Stop”, “Great Divorce”, “Mr. MTV”, “Take a Bullet”... just name a few! 🤘🏼
Call me crazy, but I feel like this is dedicated to Joey. The way the logo turns at the beginning and end look like the number 1, which was Joey's. Also, the almost kabuki-ish makeup on the cloth in the water looks similar. Just a theory. Love the channel. Much love and coffee from Louisiana
Slipknot never did it for me and I am not big on Coreys singing here but good to see that people are pleased with the track. Would love to hear you reacting to Conjurer - Those Years, Condemmned
I hate to be that guy, and nothing is timeless- just Corey's voice is not as dynamic as it used to be. Even when he lost his voice and relearned how to sing in vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses, he was still very solid and dynamic. The latest songs all seem like they have the same vocals. The rest of the band is absolutely killing it though
There's just something about the drums. Joey could pull the momentum from part to part, and with Jay I don't feel those transitions are as smooth. One of the things I like the most about Slipknot is how their songs flow from start to end, and this song didn't have that flow, and neither does Chapeltown Rag. They just kinda feel mishmashed in that All Hope is Gone sense.
@@DarthPerc I'm not saying he didn't. It just has a different feel to the drums that doesn't appeal to me as much as Joey's style. That's not to say it isn't incredibly complex, because it is. Complex doesn't always mean interesting though. You could be the worlds best drummer, to me it doesn't matter unless you can translate that skill into song writing. There's a reason people praise Bob Dylan and Kurt Cobain, they're great song writers.
@@DudeMcGuybro I agree with you I think Joey was a better drummer by far. I think jay has a different style and that’s partly why a lot of the newer songs are viewed as being different. I also agree with you statement you can be a good drummer but still not make it work like some others do becuase their rhythm and songwriting is leagues above his but I still think this is one of the most technical drums I’ve heard in a long time
I don't particularly care for the effects on his voice at the beginning or the sound of his harmonies in the chorus, however this song is so so so so much better than chapletown rag. C. R. Is part 1 of the new album. New album is coming out in September 30th, gonna be called "The end, so far"

This song is heavy. People are just dumb.
People should be thankful at all that Slipknot has stuck to their roots and is still going strong.
Slipknot was always like that. They had a great balance between hard and smooth.
I agree and even in the debut album slipknot had clean vocals and slow songs.
The more I hear this the more I like it, the production is top tier, and that bass line is freaking awesome!
Yeah I been waiting for him to break out something for a few years now and finally he murdered it
V man is sickkk
V-Man showed out in this one. Slipknot usually doesn't have a lot of heavy bass lines, but this song is killer. Each member had a small solo section for this song, and it sounds awesome.

I haven't listened to Slipknot in a long time, but I see 20 years hasn't slowed them down a whole lot!
They're like a marathon runner catching a second wind and pushing the limit, giving it all for the win.
Couldn’t agree more. Think it’s shown with losing 2 members through death and one quitting they haven’t slowed down and never will 🤘🏼

Too much hittin' on the bowl... "cereal" bowl.
He just put that bowl there to throw you off.
@@1848revolt my first thought too lol
I coincidentally was having a bowl of... cereal... when theis video came across my feed😂 always love getting the new uploads Geebz
that comment at the start "Its not what you think guys, I can't, I hack too much these days" is such a wholesome stoner side comment hahahahah
He's looking pretty glazed too haha champion

it's the last album of their roadrunner records contract, will be interesting to see what the future holds for them

This is actually really good. Probably their best work since IOWA.
Hell yes.
Wanyk+ is good Ahig- is good
Let's not speak about The Gray Chapter
Was hoping you'd get on this, super quick awesome stuff!
Man, this is a super sic track. AWWWRIGHT!!
@@KeyOfGeebz Slipknot are back man, I'm pumped let's go!
New Alter Bridge song this week as well. “Pawns and Kings.” Great production, you should check it out.
Joe Barresi on the production and mixing! He's an absolute beast.

Oh man! Let's do it!. Last time you did a 1am reaction was to Meshuggah clockworks. 🤘👍
First time song listen for me. I love it. It reminds me of the music that were making 20 years ago. The music that made me a forever metal fan.
I can tell you were really enjoying this one! Always been a Slipknot fan.
that intro was hilarious, keep being you Geebs 🤙

They sound incredible.
I was waiting your reaction Mr. Nice video you got a new subscriber !
Bring the Knot and us maggots will come🤘
Already got my pre-orders in 🤘 This song gets down 🤘🤘 LETS GO🤘🤘
That was so quick. Thought of you when I saw it not too long ago as well. I'm super excited for this new album.
love the raw 1am exitement you exuded here haha
Hell yeah brother, the new album actually comes out this September 30th. Just in time for Halloween!
ok, ok, ok, great way to react, new tracks from epic bands from my FAVORITE reactor!!!!

Yessss!!!! This is the second single from their new CD coming September 30th. Can we get Alter Bridge Pawns & Kings next please?!?!!
I want to hear floor and Myles do a song together. 🤘🏼
Alter Bridge is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Tremonti is my guitar idol.

Hell yea got on this one quick. I just got done with a bowl too so I feel you bro!
This is the most technical track by slipknot for the last 7 or 8 years
Listened to it about 20 times now!
Hot Damn Geebz! You're really jumpin on the new release, right on!
Can you hold up a green beer bottle and say, "I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis."
"I just got finished with a bowl *cough* *cough*... of Cheerios" yeah sure Geebz lmao
"Honeynut Cherrios" eh? Is that what the kids are calling it these days 🤔 lol
Love them late nite HoneyNut Cheerios!!
W/ banana of course!
Awwwright!!🤙
"I had a bowl" then you cough and swear you meant a bowl of cereal😂 not so believable
Yes Geebz! Thanks for doing this one right away!
Go easy on those Honey Nuts, man. Shit'll get you all messed up.
Sir, you're so cool! I wanna be like you when I grow up.. 😎🤙
Fantastic reaction Geebz, I love me a big bowl before I dive into some music as well! 😉 Keep up the great work!
honey nug cheerios.
Review "Yen" - It will give goosebumps as it's every emotion wrapped into one
I just finished a bowl *COUGH COUGH COUGH* of Honey Nut Cheerios. - Geebz 2022
The intro is almost Lothe, it's interesting to hear the cycle of influence!
If someone says this is not heavy enough needs a psychic exam. I love this sh!t.
Thanks for another get critique.
A catchy Slipknot song? Nice!
I thought We Are Not Your Kind was as good as it gets from these guys, but I'm happily being proven wrong.
You should check out Exu, by Aric Importa (ft. Justin Chancelor)
Similar visuals, though need an even bigger warning on strong flashes haha
Alter Bridge - Find the Real. Myles voice will blow your mind
Definitely check out yen. An amazing song from the album.
Time is a face on the water.
Slipknot never did it for me and I am not big on Coreys singing here but good to see that people are pleased with the track.

Hey suggestion - I think you might enjoy the production on some Amon Amarth sometime
Need to do more on muse, maybe exogenesis symphony parts1,2&3
You gotta do the new track Miracle from A Day To Remember. They just took a breakdown and went ham with it. Thanks!
Love this one !
I had a lot of fun doing a cover on my channel 😁
My favourite band, one of my favourites from the album. Not my favourite album though, don't think anything can beat IOWA IMHO. Great song though.
There's just something about the drums. Joey could pull the momentum from part to part, and with Jay I don't feel those transitions are as smooth. One of the things I like the most about Slipknot is how their songs flow from start to end, and this song didn't have that flow, and neither does Chapeltown Rag. They just kinda feel mishmashed in that All Hope is Gone sense.
Jay literally fucking destroyed the drums on this song
@@DarthPerc I'm not saying he didn't. It just has a different feel to the drums that doesn't appeal to me as much as Joey's style. That's not to say it isn't incredibly complex, because it is. Complex doesn't always mean interesting though. You could be the worlds best drummer, to me it doesn't matter unless you can translate that skill into song writing.

Can you listen to and critique the song Maeva... Or Celestial by the band Skyharbor?
You shud check out the new muse releases :D
Produced by Joe Barresi, who also did the latest tool record ;)
Ruins every album he touches
TIL I can absolutely pass on Joe Barresi. Please Joe, stop fucking with my favorite bands.
U have to react to The Devil in I
Hey Geebz man, if you haven't checked it out you need to react to Heilung- Anoana, I feel like you'd really like. Later! 🤙
You should react to the key of evergreen from the devil wears Prada
I don't particularly care for the effects on his voice at the beginning or the sound of his harmonies in the chorus, however this song is so so so so much better than chapletown rag. C. R. Is part 1 of the new album. New album is coming out in September 30th, gonna be called "The end, so far"
