As a massive Currents fan, I didn't have very strong feelings for this album the first time through. Now after about my 1000th listen, I can happily say that they did not disappoint after how incredible TWIE was. I can't separate this from Heavener so for now they are staying tied at #1 for AOTY.
Damn....I really wish I could get into the cleans on Heavener...like I know they're so technically sound and talented but I find the cleans so bland and boring and sometimes just plain bad. I know how unpopular this take will be...but i just cant get into them and I feel like Brian's cleans on this album are just lightyears ahead of that album.
@@AcrossOceansOfficialBand Nah, cleans in Heavener are less buttrock-y than the latest Currents album. New Currents album still good, but Heavener still brings more to the table. This is still a standard metalcore album, done exceptionally well.
An underrated part of this album in my opinion is in ‘Over and Over’ when in the 3rd chorus they flip the drum pattern from the first 2 choruses. It gets me every time. Big fan of Currents and this album is awesome
Idk why but in Guide Us Home it gives me huge The Place I Feel Safest vibes when they have the chanting part going “Hell has come a part of me, when you look at yourself do you look through me?” Such chills
First I should say this is my first time listening to Currents. With this album I’ve found what I consider the perfect balance between cleans and harsh vocals on Metalcore. Whole album is such a masterpiece 👌🏽
@@RachelleReacts yes!! The intro riff with that rolling double bass underneath was just unreal!! Chris Wiseman is a fucking wizard, and Brian shows no signs of stopping his improvement as a vocalist, and he was great to begin with!
Brian went ape shit on this record! I absolutely love the newly high pitch highs in a few of the tracks . This album has been on absolute repeat since it dropped. So riff (metal) heavy, and melodic throughout. INFECTIOUS, overall. This & Heavener are the 2 top of Metalcore for me, thus far, this year.
Absolutely loving this album, so atmospheric. The death we seek is still my favourite track, in fact I'd argue it's some of their finest work, but unfamiliar comes in a close second. Great reaction Rachelle!
This album is a FORCE!!! Every song is so freaking great, but Remember Me grips me so tight and never let’s go. Can’t even process how incredible these dudes are with creating music. So happy they exist 😭🤘🏻❤️🔥
What can't brian do. Loving gone astray. You could say some songs sound a little similar but even better for me since i love the way they went on that album.
Great seeing you listen! By the way Rachelle, something I noticed is the audio level of your voice tends to be quite low, it'd be great if it was a little higher in the mix cause with such a bassy record I find myself nearly waking up the neighbors just to hear you hehe.
i love the album but ngl i was really hoping for chris to do those vocals that he does for shadow of intent in at least one song. His vocals are godly imo. Maybe next album.
Was a bit underwhelmed after the first listen but after hearing it a bunch since it came out it has grown on me a ton. Brian REALLY shined on this record. Still doesn't quite beat Heavener tho...😂
Hey @RachelleReacts, A little late to the party, but I'm right there with you concerning Living In Tragedy. Monster track that just connected with me on so many, many levels. IA and Currents owning my playlist this year!! 🤘🤘🤘
HHahaha I just love that reaction @ 24:20. By FAR my most favorite breakdown and riff on the album. No matter how many times I listen to it, it hits me right how it seemed to hit you in this video :D:D
Vengeance was a track that I really liked when it came out then I found myself really cooling on it and going back to Remember Me and TDWS a lot more. But now within the context of the album, I have a whole new appreciation for that track.
I love Currents and glad to see a fellow fan. Took me a couple listens to get a grip on the album, many times felt like so many layers and instrumental changes were happening so fast it wasn't something I used to hear from them but I love this album nonetheless
The Way It Ends is still my favourite Currents album as it's basically perfect imo, but this album was also super solid and contains some of their best songs
Just saw them in concert a few weeks ago I was so hype and they will be back next month lol I gotta see them twice! They werent headlining last time. Living in Tragedy just hits me so different so many chills it's so good I listened to it so many times before even listening to the entire album lol
I'm not going to lie, I have never gotten so emotional (ugly tears) listening to a metal song the way I did with Remember Me. While that, and many other tracks, are amazing on this album, the title track TDWS is still TOTY for me! Loved hearing your thoughts, as always! Thank you for jamming to this with me 🤘😝🤘
Love this album. It’s officially my second favorite after the place I feel safest now. Always been a bigger fan of the “classic” metal core sound. Maybe I’m just old but none the less they’ve yet to release and album I don’t like.
This is my second listen through now and I have enjoyed it a lot more than the first! The only track which I didn't love was "Gone Astray", the chorus didn't really do anything for me. As for favourites I think "Beyond this Road" and "Living in Tragedy" are my top 2 currently! Will need more listens but this probably will place in my top 10, just need to figure out where! Also, really love that Currents shirt!
Feelings evolving about this album. I was pretty sure is a good album bit. No... It's a great album who stay in my head. Also Guide us Home... That chorus... I can die now. Thanks Currents for job ❤❤❤❤❤
*pauses video* “if I cry, from this album, you owe me your head lol” #djinnmetal2023 #djinngods #guardianofthegalaxyvol5 #djent #metal #The #Breakdown #Paradox 😂😂😂❤
This album is just good to me. The singles had me thinking that this was going to be on par with Heavener but that’s just not the case for me. Living In Tragedy and Over and Over were great but the rest of the non-singles left much to be desired. It doesn’t help that every song pretty much follows the same song structure and there’s not really any song here that quite sweeps me off my feet while on The Way It Ends it felt as if that was every other song. Good effort, but not quite enough variety and a terrible mix. Overall 7/10.
We need to stop comparing this album to Heavener from invent animate it's pretty unfair for currents this album is great all in its own but I will say the way it ends and The Place I feel Safest is still stronger then this one imo anyways
As a massive Currents fan, I didn't have very strong feelings for this album the first time through. Now after about my 1000th listen, I can happily say that they did not disappoint after how incredible TWIE was. I can't separate this from Heavener so for now they are staying tied at #1 for AOTY.
Agreed, those are my 2 current AOTY so far. We shall see what else releases though!
@JINGO at the current time, I'd say Currents is currently my favorite album of the year 😅
Damn....I really wish I could get into the cleans on Heavener...like I know they're so technically sound and talented but I find the cleans so bland and boring and sometimes just plain bad. I know how unpopular this take will be...but i just cant get into them and I feel like Brian's cleans on this album are just lightyears ahead of that album.
My top 2 agreed!

Rewatching this. Miss you Rach.
I thought Living in Tragedy was a Darko track at first with that groove 😂
It gave me a Born of Osiris feeling, mixed with a Motionless in White chorus.
Unfamiliar intro has some Adept vibes to me
@@proggod6118 Definitely. I miss Adept so much, still one of my favorite bands in this genre.
I believe adept is getting back together this year!@tuffenuff12345
An underrated part of this album in my opinion is in ‘Over and Over’ when in the 3rd chorus they flip the drum pattern from the first 2 choruses. It gets me every time. Big fan of Currents and this album is awesome
Good catch, this album may go down as my favorite heavy album
those lyrics too, they hit home.
One of the best songs in this album imo
Idk why but in Guide Us Home it gives me huge The Place I Feel Safest vibes when they have the chanting part going “Hell has come a part of me, when you look at yourself do you look through me?” Such chills
Living in Tragedy did it for me! Best song next to the Death we seek. Great album reaction!
chris is one wise man, being able to write all the amazing riffs and solos (I’m sorry)
The final chorus of Living in tragedy is an absolute masterpiece. My favourite chorus of the year for sure
First I should say this is my first time listening to Currents.
With this album I’ve found what I consider the perfect balance between cleans and harsh vocals on Metalcore. Whole album is such a masterpiece 👌🏽
ooooh, they have a wonderful discography to go through for the first time!
Brian could easily be a deathcore vocalist lol, his highs and lows are nutty.
His harsh cleans remind me of the vocalist from Rise Against. Love this album.
“Over and Over” is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
that intro riff 😩💃
@@RachelleReacts yes!! The intro riff with that rolling double bass underneath was just unreal!! Chris Wiseman is a fucking wizard, and Brian shows no signs of stopping his improvement as a vocalist, and he was great to begin with!
I imagine everyone's shocked thumbnail is their reaction to Living In Tragedy.
i’m pretty sure you’re right, especially as it’s the first non single and that’s usually what i skim to get my thumb 😂
@@RachelleReacts Having just finished your video, that's exactly where it came from for you. Lol
The more you listen to this album, you realize its just as good as TWIE, but with a very different style. Just good music.
Yes, this. 100%.
that over and over track sounds like invent animate inn the first 30-45 seconds . still crazy track tho
Brian went ape shit on this record! I absolutely love the newly high pitch highs in a few of the tracks . This album has been on absolute repeat since it dropped. So riff (metal) heavy, and melodic throughout. INFECTIOUS, overall.
This & Heavener are the 2 top of Metalcore for me, thus far, this year.
Absolutely loving this album, so atmospheric. The death we seek is still my favourite track, in fact I'd argue it's some of their finest work, but unfamiliar comes in a close second. Great reaction Rachelle!
This album is a FORCE!!!
Every song is so freaking great, but Remember Me grips me so tight and never let’s go. Can’t even process how incredible these dudes are with creating music. So happy they exist 😭🤘🏻❤️🔥
What a album. The last song hits me so hard.
Remember me and guide us home are definitely the best songs.
What can't brian do. Loving gone astray. You could say some songs sound a little similar but even better for me since i love the way they went on that album.
You know that its Chris singing in that Gone Astray chorus right?
@@thewretch4081 yeah I just wanted to say that I love the song, about Brian was just for the album in general.
@Best Riven EU yeah he sounds awesome , this album is definetly his best work
@@thewretch4081 You can clearly hear Brian there underneath him, though.
Over and over becames my new fav song... Gimme chills ❤
18:24 is my new favourite thing. We need a gif/clip of that. 😂
Much love, Rachelle!
Such a great band . Found them a few months ago & couldn't be more happy
"my hands are sweating" literally me with Living In Tragedy its so fucking sick
ooo, I hadn't heard of this band until just now! Thank you!!!
💙
Album of the year.
Thanks for the reaction Rachelle!
Yep, album of the year without a doubt... probably even one of the best Djent / Metalcore albums EVER!
thanks for watching!! 💙
Maybe if Heavener didn’t exist.
Yeah if Heavener wasn't released this year I'd agree
Great seeing you listen! By the way Rachelle, something I noticed is the audio level of your voice tends to be quite low, it'd be great if it was a little higher in the mix cause with such a bassy record I find myself nearly waking up the neighbors just to hear you hehe.
my fav song off the album right now is gone astray. something about it just hits.
You do such a great job with your channel, Rachelle! I love Currents, love this band! Keep it up!
thank you so much 🥲 just went to their show on Saturday and it was my favorite set i’ve ever seen from them! these songs live are killer
Only just discovered Currents and damn I’ve been missing out. What a band! Cannot get enough of the chugging these guys give out 🔥🔥 killer riffs
Gone Astray may replace Kill The Ache and The Place I Feel Safest as my favorite Currents song.
The chorus in Gone Astray are sung by Chris btw! :)
yes i know!
Been waiting forever for a new album from these guys! One of the best bands in the game.
i love the album but ngl i was really hoping for chris to do those vocals that he does for shadow of intent in at least one song. His vocals are godly imo. Maybe next album.
he sings on Gone Astray’s chorus!
@@RachelleReacts oh crap! Honestly I couldn’t even tell. He sounds so different.
love the reaction to this great fucking album and band..ty for showing the love! \m/
Was a bit underwhelmed after the first listen but after hearing it a bunch since it came out it has grown on me a ton. Brian REALLY shined on this record. Still doesn't quite beat Heavener tho...😂
Heavener is insanely beautiful.
This was a return to form for them. Might be better than The Place I Feel Safest, but will only know once the "shiny new music" effect wears off.
Hey @RachelleReacts, A little late to the party, but I'm right there with you concerning Living In Tragedy. Monster track that just connected with me on so many, many levels. IA and Currents owning my playlist this year!! 🤘🤘🤘
Alongside Bury Tomorrow's The Seventh Sun, definitely up there as an Album of the Year!
To me Invent Animate's Heavener is still in the game, too
HHahaha I just love that reaction @ 24:20. By FAR my most favorite breakdown and riff on the album. No matter how many times I listen to it, it hits me right how it seemed to hit you in this video :D:D
This is the Album of the Year for me, and Gone Astray is my #1 song from the album
just saw them play this live over the weekend and it was daaaamn good!!
Love watching your reviews. Love watching you just groove to music. You’re absolutely adorable
This album just reiterates why I fell in love with this band when the way it ends dropped. I listened to that album religiously lol.
Hey Rachelle, nice reaction greetings from Germany
Vengeance was a track that I really liked when it came out then I found myself really cooling on it and going back to Remember Me and TDWS a lot more. But now within the context of the album, I have a whole new appreciation for that track.

The Way It Ends is still my favourite Currents album as it's basically perfect imo, but this album was also super solid and contains some of their best songs
My exact thoughts
This whole album is ridiculous...what a great band!
I wonder if she’s gone back to Beyond This Road because that song is heckin cool too 😂 That second verse makes me want to run fast
DO YOU HATE ME?!
yes I have!! immediately on my second listen to the album I was like oh nvm this is going. now I can hear that intro in my head like it's nothing
@@RachelleReacts VERY GOOD! 😂 God I love these boys. Glad you enjoyed!
Брайан красава! Вторая песня меня просто убила, эксперимент удался(необычное звучание). Альбом топ!!!
That first track is just such a pounder with its unexpected lows and harmonics overlaying. Amazing record!
Just saw them in concert a few weeks ago I was so hype and they will be back next month lol I gotta see them twice! They werent headlining last time. Living in Tragedy just hits me so different so many chills it's so good I listened to it so many times before even listening to the entire album lol

Over and over is an absolute banger
STRONG Sam Carter vibes in Gone Astray.
CURRENTSS 🐐🐐🐐

Awesome react thanks ❤
thank you for watching! 💙
The entire album is a banger, definitely album of the year for me
Living in Tragedy might be the best metalcore song to drop in the last 5 years
Currents: Do you like heavy music?
Us: Yes!
Currents: The Death We Seek
I listened to this album this morning at gym 😁
Over and over has been on repeat… over and over
Album Of The Year for sure.
Feelings evolving about this album. I was pretty sure is a good album bit. No... It's a great album who stay in my head. Also Guide us Home... That chorus... I can die now. Thanks Currents for job ❤❤❤❤❤
Over and over is still my fav from then funnest to play..mad emotion..this album really hits home for me...
Crazy solid release. Heaviness unbridled
Usually takes about 55 minutes to mow the grass. Took 26 minutes while listening to this album today.
What a band..... My Lord... What a Band Currents
does anyone else get old old as I lay dying feels from some of those riffs or just me?
*pauses video* “if I cry, from this album, you owe me your head lol” #djinnmetal2023 #djinngods #guardianofthegalaxyvol5 #djent #metal #The #Breakdown #Paradox 😂😂😂❤
This Album is a grower!!! AOTY for me!!!
yes.
I thought the two previous albums already were the band's peak, but I was so wrong....
yeah, living in tragedy is something
Обожаю вокал Брайана.
Living in Tragedy best track.
Vengeance is 🔥 on top of 🔥
Someone help me out....the intro song to Rachels vids....name of it is on the tip of my tongue...
it's not a released song so there is no title, the info of who wrote it is in the description of every video.
@@RachelleReacts thanks. I swear it sounds like something i know lol. Either way,I'd jam it if it were released 🤟😁
Living In Tragedy is insane!!!
Rachelle please, have you seen Currents in live ? Brian sang really good or it's a computer patch to modulate voice ? Thanks
Brian can really sing, you can tell it's him live. Have seen them 6 times and will be seeing them for my 7th next weekend
Vengeance is the most Currents aggressive song. Imo
This album is just good to me. The singles had me thinking that this was going to be on par with Heavener but that’s just not the case for me. Living In Tragedy and Over and Over were great but the rest of the non-singles left much to be desired.

Living in Tragedy!!
Your mic is super quiet 😅
had to buy a cloud lifter today, should fix it for stuff I film going forward
Yo i wish you check out dropearth.
i do request streams every single week
We need to stop comparing this album to Heavener from invent animate it's pretty unfair for currents this album is great all in its own but I will say the way it ends and The Place I feel Safest is still stronger then this one imo anyways
who is we? I typically don't do stuff like that in my videos
It's OK 🤷♂️ every song kinda sounds the same to me
Greatest band ever ...in my opinion
I like your channel, but there's a lot of folks on Reddit with wrong opinions and stuff.
what do the folks on reddit have to do with my channel? I am confused
