Hey just wanted to say on spotify the album exi(s)t is on another aftists page called reflections you can't find it through your page. And this remix is perfect can't wait for more reflections
I've been a fan of reflections since the fantasy effect, this is honestly a dream come true congrats guys. You guys are by far the only band that I can go to you helped through the toughest of times
No fucking way, I literally just ranted earlier today on how life changing this album was , this band is so beautiful and to see this I almost cried , good shit ❤️
I’m bricked tf up for this. This shit hasn’t got me feeling like this since I first discovered northlane in discoveries and when they finally dropped singularity!
@@timmykephart Buster was given access to the original recordings, and he re-amped the guitars, bass, made new drum tracks, and re-mixed and re-mastered both albums.
@@timmykephart yep dude got all Vildhjarta vinyl now got 1 original and 2 of the Forte versions buster remix and mastered. This shit is next for the collection !! 🤘🏼
dude...youre in every comment section of every band i like and many other vidsa s well...i feel like we would have INSANELY similar youtube home pages lmao
I absolutely cannot believe that this actually exists. But, I mean, is reality really realistic? 🤷♂️ hopefully one day, you guys will re-drop that Sandblasted Skin cover 💖
When I first checked The Fantasy Effect I always wished the production was a little better. Just now, I was once again listening to the old version thinking... Damn, this needs a remake and luckily scrolled down the results a bit and saw this! Great job.
Regarding how incredible this album was as a whole for me when I first got into the metal genre, it makes me so happy that y'all decided to do this. Even the redux sounds just as beautiful and heavy as the original. Amazing job to all of you, and thank you once again for this gift.
Was real sad today as it was going to be the day I finally met you guys as you were coming to London with Humanity’s Last Breath before the tour got cancelled. But seeing this makes things easier. I was not expecting this 😳 I freaking love you guys, hopefully the chance to catch you guys live will come around again ❤️ Keep killing it. This redux is just perfect
Same here, I actually discovered Reflections because they came in to replace Black Tongue for this gig. Haaaaard slaps from them, really wanted to see them live.
This album is still in my top 10 all time. I remember watching those play through videos years ago and it motivated me so much in my early years of learning to play guitar. Great to see this one redone👌🏼
God I remember listening to the guitar playthroughs over the psych ward lunch rooms intercom around X-mas of 2013. It feels nice to look back, and to see this now in a much better place. Tingles down my spine.
@@JayFFAFAlesanaES No. The nurse that was there for Xmas let us use TH-cam to play our favorite music plugged into the speakers via an aux. I was just an incredibly depressed kid at the time.
Djent's masterpiece I remember the first time I listened to the album and it was something so surprising, simple and made me shocked with how technical and beautiful it was, today listening to this redux I have the same feelings, thank you greetings from Brazil
About 8-9 years ago i saw a video of 2 slightly nerdy dudes' video play-through of their song "..And Found". I thought to myself "damn these dudes chugging away hard on their guitars" and hit the Like button. Don't remember listening to more of them. Today YT recommended me this. This is nice.
This album deserved a do over, I loved it back in the day but that mix is hard to enjoy now days, for me at least. So glad y’all decided to do this, SO FUCKING HEAVY
Good Push just feels so right with the way they crushed the bridge. I mean, first version was the song defined that album, but this redux... kills it x100000000
There are no words on gods green earth that could possibly describe how spectacularly erect I am right now. Loved this album as a teen, still love it like the first time I heard it in my adult life. Bless you guys for blessing us with this kick ass nostalgia album❤️王
I fell out of love with Reflections because they deviated so far away from TFE. It was so tech, had absurd bounce and big emotional moments. This remaster is the best thing Reflections has put out and now I'm a fan again 🖤
I listened to at least one track from tfa every week since it came out and now theres just another reason to never stop this procedure. You guys are the fucking apeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex!
I guess im crazy, because i always loved how tfe sounded. Was a really original sounding production I felt like. But i love that cd so much i cant help but love this one too. Especially driving with the windows down with this blaring.
Been listening to the you guys since this first came out in 2011 when I was a junior in high school and here I am 11 years later still listening to you guys 🤟 Been a blast gentleman 👏
I commented on Facebook a long time ago about your last album posting saying about how I do like that you guys digidrop low af but that I still missed the old melodic days of Reflections, one of the guitarists responded saying you guys were working on older more melodic stuff like that. You guys definitely delivered. Thank you! I love the melody you guys added in it, though there aren't as much cleans that's fine
much love brother. this won’t be the end of it either. we are working on music that is in the style of TFE/TCC and also Willow/Silhouette. we have a lot to give and hope you enjoy it along the way!!
This takes me back to some good times. Amazing how much music brings back memories of your life during that time. All the best you boys are absolute legends
Man, this is unequivocally better than the original in every concievable way. Thank you for doing this, it is hard finding music like this anymore. Hopefully we see some new stuff from you guys in the coming years.
Whoa how is this album a decade old now? Yall released it when I was in college still, kinda makes me feel old but nostalgic. Thank you for making this redux though. I'm loving the subtle changes and upgrades, especially the amazing production from Buster. It's like I'm rediscovering this LP all over again and I'm all the way here for it.
omg this is so fire. Ive always loved this album so much, the only thing that held the original album back was the production because Reflections was such a small band back then. This sounds SO GOOD omggggg
I remember seeing you guys in Green Bay with BoO years ago not long after this dropped. It's been one of my daily listeners ever since, never got old once. Thanks so much for this. You guys never disappoint!
Who else thinks that the lead near the end of Rotations should've been louder? :( Other than that this is a great remake, thank you so much guys! Been a fan for a decade
I was literally listening to the color clear, and exist all the way through today and even tho I absolutely love fantasy effect something told me just wait. Then bem. Thank you!!!
The original album was with me through the hardest time in my life. I’d listen to it before sleep and when my heart couldn’t take life. But the music kept me going. Helped me rebuild through loss. All the following albums are dear to me as well. This remake has shown me that my pain was real and that I truly exist and have survived the suffering. Thank you so much you guys. My heart truly goes out to you for allowing me the pleasure of listening to this album.
Someone fucking tell me why the hell this is the first fime I'm seeing this. Ive had this album on my old ipod classic for like a decade. I saw these guys live in like 2011 or something. It melted me.
The one album that stuck with me ever since it came out. I can't believe i haven't heard it was remade until nearly 1 year later. Words cant even describe the emotion this gives me

Good Push*
dude fucking same i was just talking to my wifey about this album earlier this week. i’m so happy haha fuck.
"Mix and Mastered by Buster Odeholm"
Legendary x1000000
This goes so hard. I’d be dead if Exi(s)t ever got this treatment.
Thall Gods will come down to earth to listen it
It doesn't need it. This one did.
@@ULTRAWIDE. Agreed.
the mix on exist is already insane
More like "The Fantasy Erect."
One of my favorite albums of all time and simply a great rework....thank you Reflections
I’m bricked tf up for this. This shit hasn’t got me feeling like this since I first discovered northlane in discoveries and when they finally dropped singularity!
First it was Måsstaden and Thousands of Evils, and now this?? Buster has been absolutely killing it lately.
Once I saw his name on the post I had to look this up! He has been a busy man. Very talented.
Wait... They vildjharta re did those albums too? Or did buster remaster em?
@@timmykephart Buster was given access to the original recordings, and he re-amped the guitars, bass, made new drum tracks, and re-mixed and re-mastered both albums.

This Album changed my fucking life. Thank you for remaking it
br00tal!
I absolutely cannot believe that this actually exists. But, I mean, is reality really realistic? 🤷♂️ hopefully one day, you guys will re-drop that Sandblasted Skin cover 💖
That would be so sick! Such a good cover!
The likelihood of reality being real is about as likely as it isn't. Both states are the same. :D
When I first checked The Fantasy Effect I always wished the production was a little better. Just now, I was once again listening to the old version thinking... Damn, this needs a remake and luckily scrolled down the results a bit and saw this! Great job.
This is so much better than the original. It really shows how much Jake has improved on vocals
cant back that statement
Such a banging Album, glad I stumbled across this today.
Buster is a treasure amongst mankind
❤❤❤❤ I loved this album. now that it's remastered, it is so perfect. a Djent masterpiece classic

Very beautiful work 🤝

The buildup to the breakdown here, is so fucking chill inducing. I’m about to start bouncing around in the aisles at work man. FUCKK
I already do in the aisles at work 😮💨
One of the best parts of any song ever.
i discovered this band last night and my mind has been blown by how devestatingly heavy this band is
Djent's masterpiece
I remember the first time I listened to the album and it was something so surprising, simple and made me shocked with how technical and beautiful it was, today listening to this redux I have the same feelings, thank you greetings from Brazil

Anyone else feel like "Lost" got way heavier I'm this redux? Huge fan!!
Arguably their best instrumental offering thus far.
Man, this is unequivocally better than the original in every concievable way. Thank you for doing this, it is hard finding music like this anymore. Hopefully we see some new stuff from you guys in the coming years.
I legit had tears in my eyes when ceilings kicked in. Im so happy
While i miss they rawness of the original its nice to hear the clarity in the notes
Never thought this would ever be redone, but omg this is so amazing!!!! So grateful for Reflections and that they actually did this!! Love them
