When i heard this song for the first time , Jonah's key solo brought me to tears. This song has it all. Amazing musicianship and a great musical chemistry with each other..
I, like you, have spent my career playing music for over 40 years. And like you, I have listened to a ton of music from every genre and played with a ton of players both in and out of the studio. My first look at "Dirty Loops", I reacted exactly as you do...emotionally. The tears come from joy. These three gentlemen are complete and absolute masters of their instruments and voices. It lifts a musicians soul when hearing music that brilliant. I first saw you when reacting to "Loops", "Next To You". Just found you and will continue to look for you. Great job.
Sir, you are the best reactor on YT! No one else comes across as knowledgeable and as authentic. Mixed with real emotion and perfectly timed humor makes a perfect combo. Keep up the great work!
The joy these guys exude when playing music is just incredible. Live as well. Had the immense joy of seeing them live last summer, and it was awesome. Really nice guys as well.
It indeed is... That is why it looks so fuckin' ridiculous when some comments are like "Well done" or "_There are loads of bands of that caliber..." which is actally not even close to true.
Nice one. I recognise those reactions from when I first saw the clip. I've now seen it maybe fifteen times and it still blows me away. The rhapsodic piano solo kills me, Hendrick's bass tone is up there with Levin's and Aron's drums left my mouth open too.
Oh man, I absolutely adore this song. The chord choices, the bass tone, the dynamics, the absolute technical ability on display.... They manage to be super approachable and poppy, but still throw in some serious jazz stuff.
Great timing for getting back into Dirty Loops! They've just released a collab album yesterday with Cory Wong. You'll love it, the bass is Henrik at his best!
Great reaction. Excellent comments and your enthusiasm was just infectious. Man If you're watching "Work Shit Out" to catch up you have a lot of incredible music to listen to. Best news of all Dirty Loops & Cory Wong and friends have just dropped a collaborative album that is drop dead jazz funk perfection. The two must see (and react to, hint, hint) videos are "Follow the Light" with an other worldly bass solo and a mind blowing cover of MJ's "Thriller." They knock it into orbit. Much looking forward to accompanying you on your Dirty Loops "catch-up" journey.
Thank you so much for your comment! My mind is blown that Cory Wong was added, what a perfect fit. I’m so exited that I get hear new music from them again. I think another reaction video is a comin’!!!
@@StrateleStudios I'd personally recommend any of the following: "Rock You", "Follow the Light", "Thriller", "World On Fire", "Next to You", Henrik and Aron did a four song side project called "Songs for Lovers" Jonah appears on one cut and the project is great but is not really a Loops project. That said very worthy of a listen or reaction. Have a blast and looking forward to what you have to say. Oh and as previously mentioned Henrik has a short but amazing solo on "Thriller." If this doesn't grab you, you might want to check yourself for a heartbeat. Best wishes!!
@@robote7679 Omg this a great! Thank you for the suggestions! I will most definitely be doing reaction videos on these as well. I just got Henrik’s Bass Book yesterday and I’m SO excited! I may be able to learn 2 or 3 bars out of it 😂
Henrik's bass lines here is not of this world so mind totally blowing!! As a huge Tower of Power fan it makes me glad to hear you mentioned the original Francis Rocco Prestia.
Jeff, this is my favorite "go to" review of yours for 2 reasons... 1st, you were pretty new to the DL sensation and 2nd I LOVE this piece of MUSIC for it´s absolute balance of beauty, power and sensibility.
This one is special for me too. I laugh a little because of I had known so many people were going to see it I would have never said Jonah had “Monkey Ears” 😂🤭
I assume you're a musician? I say so because I am. Played professionally for most of career. I listen to these guys and I can 'hear' what they're doing but damn if I could be that good! These guys are sick with talent across the board.
First time viewer of your channel. LONG time lover of Dirty Loops. Great reaction video! You can tell which level on which a reviewer "gets" and understands Dirty Loops. Your real emotion is greatness! You have to react to some of their new stuff with Cory and horn section!! Their Thriller cover is awesome! Did you know they are managed by Quincy Jones?? That explains the MJ connection with Thriller. LIKED and SUBSCRIBED !!
Thank you so much Charlie! At this very moment I finished shooting two more reaction videos and I am FLOORED by their new stuff OMG!!! I didn’t know about the Quincy connect, makes total sense! Ok…gonna run edit these two new ones and WELCOME to the channel! 😃😃😃
Holy smokes that was a cool reaction video! Really hope you do more of their new stuff. This was one of five great song from their new EP. Then they have their instrumental ”songs for lovers”, like a treat for everyone during pandemic lockdown. And now theyve just released a colab album with Cory Wong. Oh my gosh, we are in Dirty Loops heaven now! 😄🙌🏻 take a dive down the rabbit hole and ill join you!
Thank you so much! I can really be a goofball with my reactions but I can’t help it, hahaha. I’m definitely doing another one very soon (heck I may do a few of them now that I know they have so much new stuff I haven’t seen!). Again, thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it.
Watching you felt like I was watching myself see this for the first time. All the same reactions that I had to a "T". I too hoped for a bass solo. Reminds me of the fusion jazz from the 80's that I grew up with......I guess they worked shit out didn't they!!
Enjoyed the reaction man! I just found DL this evening and am floored. I can tell you are a lover of music and composition, so can I recommend The Flashbulb (Benn Jordan). Large catalog ranging in styles, but I would start with Piety of Ashes. Looking forward to checking out more of your reactions!
@@StrateleStudios Enjoy man! Drummer here, (who attempts to play the guitar poorly). You've got some skills man - and a great collection! You may have heard it - but the album Focus by Cynic is also an oldie but goodie and worth checking out.
@@MeursaultYT thank you so much! Do you have any of your music online that I can hear? I’ll definitely check that out! Man it’s so great hearing new music that I can get excited about!!!
@@StrateleStudios Not really man. Played in metal + punk bands growing up and have a lot of stuff on my hard drive. Maybe I'll upload some stuff at some point :-) While I am spamming you with music: Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon has one of the best voices I've heard in a while. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/1ZW25hXzNV4/w-d-xo.html
@@MeursaultYT you obviously have killer taste in music so I welcome anything you deem worthy of a listen. If you wanna check out my current band, Hollander, we just released a new tune… th-cam.com/video/x05XsSyLVus/w-d-xo.html
Btw... the piano solo part is highly influenced by the compositions of Pat Metheney and Lyle Mays. Just a brilliant rendition. I subbed because of you having the same "on point" fun as me hearing good music ;-) To give you same level of goosebumps you may give Snarky Puppy "Lingus" a listen, that thing is also burning like hell.
Oh wow, I didn’t even make that connection with Metheney and Mays. One of my all time favorites from them is “Last Train Home”. I am forever haunted by it. Oh ya, “Lingus” is INSANE!
@@StrateleStudios I grew up with and stole everything from Mark King, Casiopea bassists, Mezzoforte and other freaks from other galaxies on the bass. It was "important" to show some skill with the thumb back then. Then it became "too much" and I picked up the likes of Billy Sheehan (and Brand X, Dream Theater etc.) ... oh dear ... Enough material to work on in the rehearsal room for a few hours! 😁 Then I developed my vocal and went into more pop-ish entertainment/dance type of music: More gigs = more money in the pocket! But I never gave up admiring these superheroes: Henrik Linder somehow makes it look fairly easy to be the rock-solid "base" ... yeah, well ... as a bass is supposed to ... but at the same time put in all the "flashy stuff" without suddenly taking over the overall picture of the musical landscape. I don't know if that is even English or if you understand what I mean. He is sooo down to earth, fulfills the role of a stinking tight funky bassplayer but is at the same time capable of all the neck-breaking make-the-ladies-scream-or-faint ... stuff ... Okay. Let me try this: He is absolutely outstanding! 👌👌👌
@@stefanholbek2449 very well said! I totally understand your journey and you are dead right about Henrik as I mention all the time how he “flies under the radar” with the runs. Simply masterful. Don’t forget he had a different starting point than you and I did. This makes a huge difference and why he is as good as he is. Your experience is priceless. Even though you may not play like him your talent and ability is forged solidly from years of absorbing incredible music and you have a voice of your own. Keep doing what you do, brother!
I really like the way you reacts to DL videos, its fun to watch! Please react to "Bitten by the Kitten" for some base playing. Check out Henriks crazy frets on his Mattisson base, he also does some really fast triplets. Bonus: Some "I´m A Man" vibes from 1967...

N.b: a 6-string fretless, and he has the best intonation I have ever heard. Great reaction! Cheers from Italy.
Italy! Yay…I so want to visit, never been! That bass is heavenly, wow.
Check out Jaco :)

Totally!

"Is that is?" - Gets smacked in the head by The Drumsolo...
They actually bring tears to your eyes, they are that good! The best musicians i have heard in 30 years ....easy!
I can't wait to hear more from these guys...wow
Love how you let it play and react over the top. I completely parallel your reactions. Goosebumps on top of goosebumps.
Thank you so much for saying that. I think reactions work better that way. The music is more important than I am!
