@@Darwinist Tobias is a fan of Phantom and Cats. I think he first saw them as a kid in London and they both left a big impression on him. He doesn't like musicals in general though. I feel the same.

Everyone I know who's seen Ghost live has come away a fan for life. They're amazing that way. I've been to a *lot* of shows over the last 25 years, and Ghost beats them all at making sure that the audience has a fucking incredible time.
@@craigjames1082 I’m ashamed to say I was a major Ghost hater. Then I saw them open up for Iron Maiden in 2017. I was up in the seats for one show and then on the floor for a second show. I left the first night interested. I left the second show a Ghost fan. Just saw them a week ago with Volbeat.. Iron Maiden was my favorite band of all time. Now, Ghost carries that spot. I’m infatuated with them.
My first Ghost show was on their second ever tour, opening for Opeth/ Mastodon on the Heritage Hunter Tour in '12. Been a hard-core fan ever since. I saw them at the Double Door (RIP) in Chicago with Skeltonwitch opening. I was even lucky enough to work with them once when they did a Lolla aftershow at the venue I worked. Amazing every single time!🤘🤘🤘
Very reminisce of Mummy Dust in terms of tongue in cheek, humorous type of thing. Also grows on you, throws you off at first, but it ends up on repeat.
Seeing them again in two weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if they would start releasing the bank notes during Twenties instead of Mummy Dust from now on. We'll see.
Dude, this tour is INSANE. Saw them in Chicago for my birthday, and every time I see them live, it gets better and better. I honestly wonder about Tobias. HOW can one person just have so much...musical intelligence and creativity? Every time I think Ghost has peaked, that they have put out something incredible and cannot possibly top it, Tobias is like, not so fast, listen to this shit. And I like how different the songs seem in relation to each other, there's a variety. Like compare this to Call me Little Sunshine, totally different feels. Just *chef's kiss*
That’s what true artists can do. They can paint a completely different picture for you every time and you will still feel something. The artist is supposed to make you happy, sad, angry, etc. The artist is the consciousness of society. That’s why fascists hate modern art. Art is a catalyst for introspection. Ghost is a piece of art that takes openness for you to fall in love with. If you hate them now it’s because you never understood them in the first place. Ghost is bigger than itself. It becomes a family that spans the globe with a common language. We don’t need meatheads who just want to hear the guitars chug the same riffs all the time while they mindlessly smash their heads against the rail. Ghost attracts the best people in my experience and repells the worst. Tobias Forge is an extremely intelligent, kind, & talented person. His music reflects his view of the World. He says he just likes putting on a show, but he’s telling you about who he is at the same time. The underlying message in Ghost’s music is freedom. Rebellion from the forces that be. It may be dressed in Catholicism, but it’s inherently political.
I don’t think either their old or new stuff is better, it’s all fucking brilliant. The fantastic thing about Ghost is that their style is not stagnant. Every album has its own sound, and I love them all for what they are. I absolutely cannot wait to hear the entirety of Impera when it comes out.
They remind me of a very different kind of Rush. Both always change their sound over the years and incorporate different genres and popular trends while still having a distinctive fingerprint. Imagine if Rush had always stayed a Zeppelin copy.
@@chitoryu12 There are soo many different bands that I hear within their sound. The amazing thing, is that Tobias and the rest structure it in a way that is their own. I am 43 and have been drumming since I was 8. I wish I knew the identity of their current drummer, just to simply give him a barrage of compliments.
The fact they dropped this as a single despite it being a very different feel and vibe then their typical songs makes me super excited for the album This song has the feel of a hidden gem in the track list so I can only imagine what’s in store
I feel like Ghost was never "heavier" to begin with lmao. In fact this album has some of their heaviest guitar riffs. I think what's gone now that people are mistaking as "heavy" is the dark, creepy atmosphere of the first 3 albums. But I feel like that's still present but in a different form.
I love how you react to Ghost stuff lol it's really funny and you never throw hate, lot of people keep complaining that they don't sound 'heavy' anymore but to me they're evolving in a hell of fantastic way!
I'm a metalhead. I'm a swede. Love Meshuggah, Entombed, At The Gates, Opeth, Orbit Culture and never paid much attention to Ghost. But hey - Ghost is fantastic! I'm aware of the "debate" whether they are metal or not. Fuck that discussion - Ghost rules. And Tobias Forge is a creative wonder boy.
This band never fails to impress and surprise me. I just heard the instrumental Miasma, and was struck with stank-face when a rippin' SAXOPHONE SOLO appeared near the end of the track. These guys are a terrific blend of musicianship and theatre.
Typical neck beard Millennial metal fan reaction to shredding. Can’t blame them though when they were unfortunate to grow up in an era with bands who just couldn’t play.
Great reaction. This song is bold, and kudos for Ghost to stretch out, but still sound like themselves. Enjoy the show! I saw the Seattle date, and they were amazing - they are meant for Arenas. Very theatrical, and flat out amazing. Lyrically, this is very pointed, but cleverly ties together the 1920's and 2020's and shows how this type of thing is cyclical.
There’s an iTunes interview with Tobias (unmasked btw, one of the few where he actually shows his face) and he says that he was inspired about 10 years ago by a latino rapper who did extremely aggressive raggaton music. Idk if that means he’s been slowly perfecting this track for a whole decade or if he stuffed that idea in a ziplock baggie and said “I’ll deal with that idea nother time” haha
My reaction when I first heard this song was EXACTLY the same as yours! I was extremely surprised, and I had just read an article about how Tobias Forge came up with that sound, it was actually inspired by something he saw on a Swedish culture channel, about this Brazilian party music, which he described as a rapper, but was more likely some Brazilian funk artist (we call them "funkeiros" here) given his description. And, being from Brazil myself, specifically from Rio, where funk is the most popular kind of music, I thought I knew what to expect from the song. Well, I couldn't be more wrong, that sound completely blindsided me, it was just a perfect mesh of funk and Ghost, and that's insane, because they're just so different! But I guess that's what Tobias does (and maybe that's what makes Ghost so refreshing), even when you know what to expect, he manages to blow your mind, somehow. And that's what I love about this band, always a great new experience!
I will be amazed if they can pull this off live. This wasn’t even the usual drummer for the studio work, and the solo was done by the guitsrist of Opeth.
@@cedricleunen4594 published interviews with TF, and a “personnel” list for the track. If I could post it here, I would. Hux Nettermalm is the drummer on this one, and the guitarist listed is Fredrik Åkesson.
We’ll see with the upcoming Ghost movie! They managed to pull it off live at the two LA shows at the end of the US Imperatour. Unfortunately it wasn’t recorded by the audience because phones were not allowed at those shows due to professional recording for their movie. However those who went to those shows loved it and ive seen and heard good reactions!
No lie, the new Ghost album is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. It's not often I can listen to an entire album and not skip most of the songs. I'm really hyped for the next album, but I'm willing to wait if it means quality.
Thank you so much for this. Twenties was the one song I had difficulties digesting/processing until I watched this video. It really unlocked something in my brain, and now I love Twenties.
The solos in this album is done by opeth guitarist Fredrick Åkesson, he is one of my favourite guitarist of all time 😃😁 glad you enjoyed that solo, i've never heard any song of Ghost before but this is how I got introduced to Ghost music.
Ghost has never been on my daily listening rotation, but every time I hear something they've released I'm always engaged. Awesome to hear they're smashing arena tours in the US.
Agree with everything you said in this video Trey! Ghost has been killing it lately! This song is awesome! Also shocked they can do arenas now, it fits them well! happy for them and their success! well deserved
Listen to “Meliora”. That album will make you change your mind. It’s the most fascinating record put out in the last 30 years IMO. I don’t even think Ghost can outdo themselves if they tries. It’s an absolutely flawless record.
This song like the title states is about the 1920s. The hard beat represents the Industrial Age of machinery moving. The lyrics about raining pennies (the movie "Pennies From Heaven" 1936) and moolah refer to stock market crash in 1928 that brought the Great Depression of the 1930s.
The preparedness for the release of this album has been perfect. If this is all on Tobias, he’s a genius. The tour, the hinting, the quirky vignettes. Simply flawless. As I’ve said on other posts, Tobias is beyond ballsy to take this risk, and to me, paid off…in MOOLAH!
Your channel is one of my favs. "THE GAUDY CROSS" is an excellent song I downloaded and your humor is excellent. Would love to see you react to the whole Impera album.
saw them in columbus and then immediately bought tickets for their cincinnati show. easily the best band i’ve seen live. super excited to see what this album brings
Saw them on 02/23/2022....and they were the best performance of the night. I was expecting Volbeat to be the headliner, but it ended up being Ghost......and I was not disappointed.
I love that they took the reggaetón beat and created something metal around it. It's absolutely amazing too. TBH their earlier stuff kinda interested me, but this album is something I enjoyed listening to.
Got to see them live in Hamburg and it was one of the best nights of my life! I got to be in first row and damn do they make sure you enjoy every second of it! Never had a band this big be this active with the crowd and especially singular people in it. Their music is even better live and they really put on one hell of a show. Can't wait to see them again.
I don't think there's a Ghost song that's been released that I don't like. Tobias Forge is all over the place on the last two albums and I love it. This song has something of a System of a Down vibe in that it's got those weird background vocals and grooving instrumentation. Somehow it all works together very well.
Try with Diablo swing orchestra, you will be surprised, if you liked twenties for the novelty of mixing metal with latin rhythms, DSO does it with much other styles from the region, you will love them
All I want for Christmas is to see Ghost with a live orchestra. "Twenties," "If You Have Ghosts," "Cirice," etc. would be AMAZING with live strings. I can't WAIT to see the recording of the LA shows from this past summer to see the strings/piano acoustic version of "If You Have Ghosts."
I'm with you on the "old" verse new Ghost, whatever that means (before and after the old members left?) But ive seen many comments stating their not the same, not heavy anymore and not like "such and such" band, well I'm new to Ghost and love all of it, different times of the week I want to hear the earlier releases, other times newer, I don't see any separation and wish people would realize that this happens, call it evolution or what have you, I love it. The more you listen to this album EVERY song grows on you, very well orchestrated. Funny, I remember Metallica cutting their hair and having the same convo years ago lol
Same. Just joined in with the new album and even though I'm not even close to being a metal fan in general, I just couldn't stop listening to them. Every album has its story and it's own atmosphere, sometimes I'm more into the heavier stuff. Faith, cirice, mummy dust, twenties, other days I'm more on the Kaisarion, kiss the go goat, majesty line, sometimes the more "evil" ones aka those that are a little bit more mighty and just epic, going for year zero, ghule/ zombie queen, nocturnal me, deus in absentia( one of my favs) and sometimes just emotional sobbing with Bible, darkness at the heart of my love, he is, life eternal and so on. I love all songs, old ones, and the new songs are just incredible and have so many details. It feels like entering a different world for me. The more I dig into ghost, the more I love them. Call the genre they play what you want, it's just straight up good
Hey man, I was there last night too. It was absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately the set was quite short, but they’ll be back as headliners after the album is released.
Great review! Really appreciate how you focus a lot on the positive things without making it feel forced. You are using your knowledge and skills to help us appreciate things more while at the same time mixing in critique. I think its a great format for making your videos very easy to digest no matter what opinion I as a viewer have about the song. I also like that you dont dumb it down so much. I know basically nothing about songwriting but you mention something new for me all the time that Im able to look up and learn. Love it.
This song is completely bonkers and I love it. I was at the Anaheim show as well and my mind exploded. Not only that but I took a piss next to Steve Vai after the show lol. Great video my friend!
In Portuguese, Chulo (n. m) and Chula (n. f) both can mean (informally) a pimp or someone that takes advantage of someone's generosity/good nature, overcharging someone or obtaining funds in an illicit manner, hence the verb [chular] which means doing just that
The songwriting is definitely yuge. But yeah, on a more serious note, I absolutely love the marriage of biting satire and the "between the pandemic and the societal unrest it's the Roarin' Twenties again" memes in a song form, complete with 1920s-appropriate visuals and almost operatic touches. Great to see you like this one, too!
Totally agree with you! Good artist evolve. Tobias got the inspiration from a Brazil musician he saw on swedish tv. Only he could write something like these. Why? Because he is a genious. And yes it's Fredrik. He plays on every song on the upcoming Impera album.
You should hear Tobias talk about how he came up with this song… he was watching a documentary about a rapper playing in a Brazilian Favela and he basically got the beat from that!
What I love is that not only did this album and the previous one take Ghost in a new direction but it was all led by someone outside of the original Papa line bring Cardinal Copia who only gained the status of Papaat the end of their most recent tour. It's symbolic AND awesome
Great reaction. You have a twin in Sweden, called Anders Bagge (a famous songwriter/singer in sweden). 100% same vibe and energy. That´s a compliment for the both of you :)
Perfect intro - I would really love to hear a live version (though Kaisarion is one of my favorites). You wouldn’t know what to expect after this (that’s Ghost!).
Fred from Opeth did all of the guitar for this album. Normally Tobias does it all, but he doesn't play any instrument very regularly because he has the entire band to run and every song to write so he decided to have a professional guitarist do the recording this time.
We just saw the Ghost stadium tour a few weeks ago and Tobias went over to the Guitar Ghoul during a solo and wagged his finger as the Guitar Ghoul started shredding, then pulled him down from the podium. Made me wonder if Tobias had seen your video and was memeing himself. My girl and I laughed our asses off.
Its a very dark broadway type of tune. And it speaks to whats happening right now with the politics of the left echoing the 1930’s leading into the 40’s like our 20’s are now heading into the 30’s. However, if they are following the decade concept, if they do the 90’s, it should get even more bigger and heavier.
Best adult version of a Disney Villain Song yet. They're plenty heavy but I do miss the cheeky "eeeevil" Satanic references. There's no Satan Prayer or Year Zero. Still awesome.
I like your style and I learn so much from watching. I also agree with your comment about Ghost new stuff. I would love to see your take on Darkness in the Heart of my Love.
1 week til Impera! I don't care if it's heavier or whatever, just want it to sound inspired and I fucking love it so far! Also, 3/3? Kaisarion is out too, would love to hear a reaction to that!
Learn to write songs with my course, Complete Rock and Metal Songwriting: bit.ly/CRMSCOURSE
This song is about like a dictator in his country the new albums is about empires so it matches up
Bro you’re a musical prodigy. Love everything you make. Glad I found you.
This sounds like it belongs in a musical as the villain’s song. It’s amazing
Oh yeah. There is a ton of Andrew Lloyd Webber hamminess in this.

I saw Ghost play a large venue and, regardless of one's opinions on their music, it's gotta be the best live show I've ever seen
I've seen Ghost haters turn into full blown fanboys from their live shows. One of if not the best live shows I've seen

Exact same feeling here.
Yes!
Seeing them again in two weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if they would start releasing the bank notes during Twenties instead of Mummy Dust from now on. We'll see.
Precisely how it went for me
I didn't like how abrasive it was at first, then it grew on me suddenly one day and now it's one of my go-to jams

This song has something of a System of a Down vibe in that it's got those weird background vocals and grooving instrumentation. Somehow it all works together very well.
Try with Diablo swing orchestra, you will be surprised, if you liked twenties for the novelty of mixing metal with latin rhythms, DSO does it with much other styles from the region, you will love them
This is a completely new mix of sounds from Ghost. Super cool, Tobias pushing the idea of what Ghost and metal can be!
Symphonyc reggaetón was made first by diablo swing orchestra with their gunpowder chant hehehhe
All I want for Christmas is to see Ghost with a live orchestra. "Twenties," "If You Have Ghosts," "Cirice," etc. would be AMAZING with live strings. I can't WAIT to see the recording of the LA shows from this past summer to see the strings/piano acoustic version of "If You Have Ghosts."
After about 5 listens, this one really is growing on me. First listen I was not feeling it at all. I am so pumped for 3/11. Hats off to Tobias.
I'm with you on the "old" verse new Ghost, whatever that means (before and after the old members left?) But ive seen many comments stating their not the same, not heavy anymore and not like "such and such" band, well I'm new to Ghost and love all of it, different times of the week I want to hear the earlier releases, other times newer, I don't see any separation and wish people would realize that this happens, call it evolution or what have you, I love it. The more you listen to this album EVERY song grows on you, very well orchestrated.
Funny, I remember Metallica cutting their hair and having the same convo years ago lol
Same. Just joined in with the new album and even though I'm not even close to being a metal fan in general, I just couldn't stop listening to them. Every album has its story and it's own atmosphere, sometimes I'm more into the heavier stuff. Faith, cirice, mummy dust, twenties, other days I'm more on the Kaisarion, kiss the go goat, majesty line, sometimes the more "evil" ones aka those that are a little bit more mighty and just epic, going for year zero, ghule/ zombie queen, nocturnal me, deus in absentia( one of my favs) and sometimes just emotional sobbing with Bible, darkness at the heart of my love, he is, life eternal and so on. I love all songs, old ones, and the new songs are just incredible and have so many details. It feels like entering a different world for me. The more I dig into ghost, the more I love them.
Call the genre they play what you want, it's just straight up good
Hey man, I was there last night too. It was absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately the set was quite short, but they’ll be back as headliners after the album is released.
did you find your taint
I just love Ghost so much
Great review! Really appreciate how you focus a lot on the positive things without making it feel forced. You are using your knowledge and skills to help us appreciate things more while at the same time mixing in critique. I think its a great format for making your videos very easy to digest no matter what opinion I as a viewer have about the song.
I also like that you dont dumb it down so much. I know basically nothing about songwriting but you mention something new for me all the time that Im able to look up and learn. Love it.
greatest live show i've ever witnessed; no one beats Ghost live
Im a new ghost fan and this is the first time i heard them shredding
I love these reaction videos because you take in the whole song rather than starting and stopping over and over! Love these videos
Diablo Swing Orchestra has a few songs that sounds like that, I love them .
Tobias is a fountain of new sounds and the hits keep coming ! You referencing Oingo Boingo vibe is spot on . Love your in depth analysis of Ghost .
Ghost is so funny. I love how they look like a black metal band but sound like pop. Love them
Ghost has invened the most melodic low brass melody EVER!! As a trombone player, i rellyed enjoyed it im gonna learn it :)
Best Twenties reaction so far! The song is a Masterpiece!!!
This song is completely bonkers and I love it. I was at the Anaheim show as well and my mind exploded. Not only that but I took a piss next to Steve Vai after the show lol. Great video my friend!
Do more Ghost!!!
I saw, Ghost on Halloween night in front about 300 people in, Little Rock, AR with, Chelsea Wolfe opening. Great show!
you are truly becoming my favorite channel...thank you man
Amazing review! Your review was the first I watched for Twenties, and I'm discovering and really enjoying your channel :)
Good react man well done
I ain't heard of you till now but subbing now
They played this at the Kia Forum and it was AMAZING 🫶🏼
In Portuguese, Chulo (n. m) and Chula (n. f) both can mean (informally) a pimp or someone that takes advantage of someone's generosity/good nature, overcharging someone or obtaining funds in an illicit manner, hence the verb [chular] which means doing just that
Loved your reaction!! 🤘🤘🤘 I can't wait for the new album. 😍
The songwriting is definitely yuge. But yeah, on a more serious note, I absolutely love the marriage of biting satire and the "between the pandemic and the societal unrest it's the Roarin' Twenties again" memes in a song form, complete with 1920s-appropriate visuals and almost operatic touches. Great to see you like this one, too!
Totally agree with you! Good artist evolve. Tobias got the inspiration from a Brazil musician he saw on swedish tv. Only he could write something like these. Why? Because he is a genious. And yes it's Fredrik. He plays on every song on the upcoming Impera album.
Tobias did say that this album was about building and tearing down empires. The lyrics are so pointed. It’s awesome.
The Reggaeton beat generally bugs me but this is certainly an intriguing piece.
You should hear Tobias talk about how he came up with this song… he was watching a documentary about a rapper playing in a Brazilian Favela and he basically got the beat from that!
Ooooh. So it IS Brazilian funk. I was wondering why the beat is so familiar. We hear this lot in Brazil. Cool
During the song writing:
So how do you want your song Twentiees to start?
Ghost: So, have you seen the anime Attack on Titan?
What I love is that not only did this album and the previous one take Ghost in a new direction but it was all led by someone outside of the original Papa line bring Cardinal Copia who only gained the status of Papaat the end of their most recent tour. It's symbolic AND awesome
Deliverance by Opeth have a section with reggaeton vibes too
"IF YOU SHRED YOU'RE DEAD" I'm crying rn omg XDDDD
I love how excited you look haha
Great reaction. You have a twin in Sweden, called Anders Bagge (a famous songwriter/singer in sweden). 100% same vibe and energy. That´s a compliment for the both of you :)
Hope you had fun at the Ghost show.
Between the Buried and Me had a reggaeton bit in one of the songs from Colors II
Perfect intro - I would really love to hear a live version (though Kaisarion is one of my favorites). You wouldn’t know what to expect after this (that’s Ghost!).
They shred quite a bit on this record. They got Fredrik Akesson from Opeth do them leads on the record....and it's fucking amazing!
I like it too! 😁
Fred from Opeth did all of the guitar for this album. Normally Tobias does it all, but he doesn't play any instrument very regularly because he has the entire band to run and every song to write so he decided to have a professional guitarist do the recording this time.
It's so different! I need to listen to this again.
GHOST JUST DROPPED A LIVE VIDEO AND A NEW SONG IN THAT LIVE VIDEO PLEASE REACT TO IT! The new song is called “Spillways.”
I cannot upvote your comment enough and I agree!!
I thought I loved Spillways....and then I heard Griftwood. And I was like JFC each song is more addictive than the last. 😆
You nailed the description of the music vibe perfectly!
So excited for the album release! I know I'm not alone in this sentiment.
nemA! 😄🖤💀
We just saw the Ghost stadium tour a few weeks ago and Tobias went over to the Guitar Ghoul during a solo and wagged his finger as the Guitar Ghoul started shredding, then pulled him down from the podium. Made me wonder if Tobias had seen your video and was memeing himself. My girl and I laughed our asses off.
The instruments reminds me a bit of Diablo Swing Orchestra. Sounds neat.
This song is great, but first thing that this reminded me of is "Death and Resurrection Show" from Killing Joke
You should check out their other song Darkness At The Heart Of My Love. Wow😮😮
That song has a hook - it just requires an arena to shout "Twenties!" back
This track is amazing! Thanks foe your reaction!
I am so glad someone else loves this song as much as I do!
Symphonic Metal inspired Reggaeton... I'm ready to do it to the floor baby... yeah!!!
the "if you shred you dead" reference killed me
I love your fun responses, Trey! You remind me of a metal "Josh Gates".
After listening to twenties for 5times it grows on you
Its a very dark broadway type of tune. And it speaks to whats happening right now with the politics of the left echoing the 1930’s leading into the 40’s like our 20’s are now heading into the 30’s. However, if they are following the decade concept, if they do the 90’s, it should get even more bigger and heavier.
Best adult version of a Disney Villain Song yet. They're plenty heavy but I do miss the cheeky "eeeevil" Satanic references. There's no Satan Prayer or Year Zero. Still awesome.
I said that the second I heard TWENTIES I said it's a Disney Villain song...
I like your style and I learn so much from watching. I also agree with your comment about Ghost new stuff. I would love to see your take on Darkness in the Heart of my Love.
i love it. my fav from the new album so far. perfect mix of old and new ghost.
1 week til Impera! I don't care if it's heavier or whatever, just want it to sound inspired and I fucking love it so far! Also, 3/3? Kaisarion is out too, would love to hear a reaction to that!
