I remember back when Belcarra came out I saw their bio and they described themselves as Spooky scary but also artsy fartsy. They definitely still hold to that. Love it
I love it when there is an electronic beat under a guitar-heavy song. Not only used selectively as an effect but constantly to create atmosphere and mood. The song is really awesome dude.
I used this song to try to get my wife into listening to some harsh vocals. She was a HUGE Shirley Manson fan when we were younger. I played this for her yesterday and she loved it. Spiritbox has and obviously is going to continue 'crossing over' and getting so many new people into heavy music. Just awesome.
It's always wonderful to hear different styles in different segments of a song. The contrast between more melodic, and heavy sections in any given song, simultaneously create tension and easement, which to many listeners, and musicians themselves, make the heavy sections hit even harder. It's brilliant songwriting and structure. This band is very good at creating an atmosphere of order, and chaos in the same composition. One of the best bands out there right now.
Man this takes me back to listening to Celldweller over 10 years ago. Great mix of genres! Thanks for introducing me to Spiritbox, will definitely check out more of their work.
I'm glad that people are referring to Garbage when talking about the vibe that this track has. Garbage was one of my favorite bands growing up in the 90's so it's cool to see that people are giving them some recognition still.
When i first heard this song my first 2 thoughts were holy shit this song is awesome and i so can't wait to see Tanks reaction to it Spiritbox doesn't ever disappoint and neither does Tank
I’m all for more of this from Spiritbox, it’s apparent that they can run with anything and make it sound good. You should definitely do a Basic Ass Reaction to Hysteria though because that song fucks harder than the Supreme Court to basic human rights hahaha
@@TankTheTech Not a bad choice, all 3 are super catchy and I love the production across them. I really wanna see what Zev can do with a full album of work.
@@TankTheTech If I remember correctly, when Courtney went on The Downbeat with Craig Reynolds, she said all the drums for the album were programmed since they had been sitting on the material for so long, though I’m sure Zev was definitely apart of their touring around then as well. I’ll double check the episode and see if I can confirm it lol.
@@TankTheTech 4:00-7:00 in the episode Courtney explains that they programmed the drums due to a deadline, and trying to make it work with Zev in another country just wasn’t gonna work. She also jokingly says to Craig that he might hate the band because “the drums are all fake” hahaha.
I absolutely love this song. Massive fan of Spiritbox, and for me they never disappoint. I am also a massive Garbage fan, and used to listen to them all the time. Two of their best, and well known songs being "Only happy when it rains" and " I think I'm Paranoid". Yes you can hear the similar sound to Garbage throughout the song, but that is no way a bad thing. "Roto Scope" is definitely one of my favourite Spiritbox songs. Awesome reaction video Tank.
I always thought their experimental stuff was their best, not that anything they do isn't incredible. But when they go for a highly unique sound, they always pull it off flawlessly. The Mara Effect, this, the entire Singles Collection EP; they're just the masters of weird, proggy, electronic metal.
I know one of the band members and became friends with one of them. They told me they where in a band but I never knew how big they where until I started checking out the videos and people doing reviews and reactions of them. In my brain I only associate them in their every day.
Seeing them coming up in Asheville in a few months on the Ghost tour and can't wait! I had never heard of them until a few months back and now I'm hooked for sure.
This is my favorite reaction video for this song. I love that you had the enthusiasm I had watching it the first time. Totally made the workout playlist immediately
This song is sooo good. One of my favorites from Spiritbox thus far. Mike's pick scrapes send me every time I listen lol. Great reaction as always, Tank.
Thank you for pointing out how different each Spiritbox song is. Courtney said herself that they're training the fans to not expect them to do the same song over & over again. When you have a VERY diverse musical palette like they do, you really can't put them in a box. Especially when they're thinking so fucking far outside of the damn box to begin with!🤣🤘🏿❤️🔥🙏🏾
Fun fact: at the Cleveland meet and greet a few weeks ago Courtney said it was inspired by Hella Good by No Doubt which is why they’ve been covering it on tour
Dude, I love you. Besides all the insanely insightful comments you have, just witnessing you tear up made me relive my initial happiness when I first listened to Rotoscope. Thanks for this gift, keep it up brother! You are so sincere, it gives me hope for all of the internet to achive this!
@@rotru4977 Funny you mention Belcarra since it's the first time we get to see Courtney grooving out since... Belcarra. Her tone on that song is top tier.
I always just thought me tearing up at new songs and older more important songs was just a me thing. SO GLAD to see someone else get's that emotion with music.
I agree Tank, this and the other singles with it might be my favorite stuff from em, songwriting is masterful in this track, so excited for their future!
I hear you🤘This one removed the mara effect pt. 2 from a very longlasting and comfortable pole position on my personal hitlist. Heavy and yet effortless, a rare and magnificent combination. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany
Lol I fully agree, the whole vibe is incredible, that groove is just insane and the vocals are absolutely pitch perfect. This little EP they released is brilliant but this is a standout tbf.
Being from Canada and seeing a metalcore band tear it up and just consistently make amazing music like Spritibox does is so cool!! All 3 songs were amazing and are on repeat constantly for me They are easily one of or if not my fav band for sure! Loved your reaction Tank as always and loved hearing more about Aristedes too! I don't know shit about gear of any sort which is probably why I find your gear talk so fascinating! Hope you're doing well and can't wait to check out another of your reactions!
Awesome Review, Tank! I can't get enough of Spiritbox and the freshness they're bringing to the game. It's like they are doing Spiritbox, experimenting, evolving, all while throwing a tribute to some earlier styles. This is a bouncer/banger. LEEEEEEET'S 💪 GOOOO 💪!!!
When I first heard this song I thought " I fucking love how they just do whatever the fuck they want." But after I re listened to Eternal Blue, this song (and the rest of the single release) actually really makes sense with the rest of the sound they've established lately. LOVE IT.
Man the first heard this I had nearly the same reaction lol was sitting around the island in the kitchen banging tunes through our surround sound and this song had me grooving then wanting to headbang lol such a catchy tune and I think it's going to kill it in a live setting. the transitions from groove to breakdown tones are so abrupt but so perfect as well. my humble opinion. Smashed that like button.
I would love to see you react to Warbringer. They are such a tight amazing band. Their drummer is a BEAST! so even if you watch his drum video for "Firepower Kills". Gives me goosebumps.
Love that you teared up. Spiritboxs music always makes me tear up even when it's not sad it's just put together so well it hits and it's like emotion overload!
I love love love your channel! I just found it but I love how you put facts about the music and bands. No one else does that! You got a new subscriber my dude! 🤘🤘🤘
I'm with you all the way. I love how you get emotionally invested in the music that moves you. That's exactly why these incredible artists/bands do what they do. Absolutely love the reactions! Keep em coming! Also wondering if you're going to see Orbit Culture when they come around with In Flames here in the coming months? Happy 4th, brother!
Personally I loved this EP. It just feels like they wanted to experiment with a new sound for fun and so they did cause why not. Its definitely one of my favorite spiritbox songs, the weirder they are the better they are lol.
I really like that their music has a lot of variety, courtney is an excellent vocalist cause she can do the clean singing and the brutal screaming perfectly. The first song I heard was sun killer, which randomly came on while I was listening to spotify, and I really liked it so I checked out their most popular songs and I heard circle with me which is just great; but then I heard holly roller and I was blown away. But I agree with you tank rotoscope is easily one of their best songs.
*As I commented before on another reaction channel : First SPIRITBOX pours sugar on the listener and then they swing the whip.....and vice versa...I love this track. They shirleymanson-ed me with "Rotoscope". Abso-fookin-lutely great.* 🎵🔥🔥🔥🎸😈🎸🔥🔥🔥🎵 👍😎🤘
Absolutely love a song that takes you on a repetitive acid trip w/ the lyrics plus the video matches that psychedelic feel & only courtney. Be stuck in my head now for who knows how long. lol 🎸⚡⚡⚡
To be honest, I was trying to ignore this song completely until I saw you reacting to it... so worth the wait. Holy shit I love this band and enjoy your reactions almost too much. FYI Zev is a boss on the drums 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I really enjoy your reactions, I like that you are not only talking about the music but also about the gear, that is used. I would love to see another reaction to Epica, I think you would enjoy either watching the official live video of the essence of silence or beyond the matrix from the same show as consign to oblivion.
Love ya Tank! Your reactions are fun to watch, and I appreciate the gear commentary. Friend of mine hooked me on Spiritbox just this past week, and it's friggin' awesome!!!
No lie, I have been listening to this and the other two songs since they dropped every damn time in touch music, almost non stop. It's an anytime vibe song, just fantastic 🙌
I love Spiritbox, and I love the album Eternal Blue. That album is going to be my go to recommendation if someone asks me for suggestions to get into metal. The variety this band has is just great and the main thing I love about them. Going from Holy Roller to Secret Garden and then to this is such a treat.
It never gets old watching Tank tear up and lose his mind over a new song. Thank you Spiritbox for turning Tank up to 11.
You know your track is a banger when Tank's hat goes flying across the room
Ho scoperto questo pezzo proprio ieri,la sto ascoltando di continuo.🤘🇮🇹
I'm with you. Has to be my favorite song of theirs yet. It swings... It's the first time I've heard a metal song swing...! Ridiculous.
I remember back when Belcarra came out I saw their bio and they described themselves as Spooky scary but also artsy fartsy. They definitely still hold to that. Love it
I love it when there is an electronic beat under a guitar-heavy song. Not only used selectively as an effect but constantly to create atmosphere and mood. The song is really awesome dude.
This song took me from surprised/confused to elated in a hurry. Loving this throwback industrial vibe from them.
I used this song to try to get my wife into listening to some harsh vocals. She was a HUGE Shirley Manson fan when we were younger. I played this for her yesterday and she loved it. Spiritbox has and obviously is going to continue 'crossing over' and getting so many new people into heavy music. Just awesome.

One of the best bands out there right now.
Man this takes me back to listening to Celldweller over 10 years ago. Great mix of genres! Thanks for introducing me to Spiritbox, will definitely check out more of their work.
That's what I thought too.
Dude, early Celldweller stuff is still to this day some of my favorite music.
Oh yeah! When she started screaming it remembered instantly of Celldweller... I have to check new content from him.
I'm glad that people are referring to Garbage when talking about the vibe that this track has. Garbage was one of my favorite bands growing up in the 90's so it's cool to see that people are giving them some recognition still.
I LOVE Garbage!! Saw them last month ❤!!
Tickets bought for the show up in Bangor Maine. Looking forward to the show. As always Tank great reaction and much appreciated bro. Tc🤘😝
And this is why I love spiritbox. They make everything sound amazing. Then having Tank along with it makes the first time listen so much better.
When i first heard this song my first 2 thoughts were holy shit this song is awesome and i so can't wait to see Tanks reaction to it Spiritbox doesn't ever disappoint and neither does Tank
I’m all for more of this from Spiritbox, it’s apparent that they can run with anything and make it sound good. You should definitely do a Basic Ass Reaction to Hysteria though because that song fucks harder than the Supreme Court to basic human rights hahaha
Hahahahahaha. Jesus. I think out of the three, "Sew Me Up" is my favorite.
@@TankTheTech Not a bad choice, all 3 are super catchy and I love the production across them. I really wanna see what Zev can do with a full album of work.
Unless I'm mistaken, Zev did all the drums on Eternal Blue. I think he's been on everything since "Holy Roller" first came out.
@@TankTheTech If I remember correctly, when Courtney went on The Downbeat with Craig Reynolds, she said all the drums for the album were programmed since they had been sitting on the material for so long, though I’m sure Zev was definitely apart of their touring around then as well.

It's almost 2024 now, and they have yet to top this song. Simply the best.
I love spiritbox BECAUSE they mix it up so much, they're so creative and they kill it every time

Completely agree, this is my favorite song by them
I totally agree with you on my favorite spiritbox song. This just goes to a whole other level.
One of the things I love about metal is that you can rarely judge a band by their biggest hit. Spiritbox is a fine example.
I'm with you on this. Easily my favorite Spiritbox tune. Love it when artists stretch their vision.
When the hat comes off it’s party time! I started head banging like a maniac with you! Thanks for bringing the good vibes! 🤘🏼
Seeing them coming up in Asheville in a few months on the Ghost tour and can't wait! I had never heard of them until a few months back and now I'm hooked for sure.
Definitely one that grew on me over time. I do like how they don't let themselves fall into one box.
Spiritboxes 😆
@@taylorcoyle33 I hate how I laughed at this
Thank You. I'm glad others see the genius of Spiritbox.
I'm with you Tank, one of my favourite spiritbox songs
This is my favorite reaction video for this song. I love that you had the enthusiasm I had watching it the first time. Totally made the workout playlist immediately
🤘🤘🤘
definitely I will put this song into playlist!!!! What a banger dude!!
Finally, I've been waiting for this!
This song is sooo good. One of my favorites from Spiritbox thus far. Mike's pick scrapes send me every time I listen lol. Great reaction as always, Tank.
I agree this is my favourite from them as well.

I'm with you Tank, this is the BEST SPIRITBOX!!!!!!!
Best reaction to this spiritbox song goes to you man 😁👍🏾
Thank you!
Another top reaction mate. Digging the shirt!
I love this song so much and I think it might be a favourite as well. The chorus is amazing and Courtney's screams are always super good!
Omg I forever feel like I'm hoping that they'll tour here. With every band. Getting stuff down here is exxy I guess
Also my fav spiritbox's song and my fav song this year so far
Fun fact: at the Cleveland meet and greet a few weeks ago Courtney said it was inspired by Hella Good by No Doubt which is why they’ve been covering it on tour
Dude, I love you. Besides all the insanely insightful comments you have, just witnessing you tear up made me relive my initial happiness when I first listened to Rotoscope. Thanks for this gift, keep it up brother! You are so sincere, it gives me hope for all of the internet to achive this!
Canadian band on Canada Day 🇨🇦 Tank the Tech on a holiday equals perfection. This song is growing on me. Gives me 90s Garbage vibes.
Very much 90:s Garbage, it's nothing I have been listening to since then but it was still instantly recognizable.
@@armandthevagabond8641 I'm not mad at it. I still prefer Spirotbox heavier stuff (like Belcarra is probably my fave track) but this is a fun song!
@@rotru4977 Funny you mention Belcarra since it's the first time we get to see Courtney grooving out since... Belcarra. Her tone on that song is top tier.
@@primebreaker6628 ha! Good point!!
Awesome reaction man! Pure emotion here and that´s what music is about :) Congrats! Great great song
Saw them at rockfest last week, thousands of people just hard grooving to this was the best moment of the weekend!
This might be one of the best songs I've heard from Spiritbox - and they've made plenty of astonishingly good songs!
I always just thought me tearing up at new songs and older more important songs was just a me thing. SO GLAD to see someone else get's that emotion with music.
I agree Tank, this and the other singles with it might be my favorite stuff from em, songwriting is masterful in this track, so excited for their future!
I love this so much. the guitar....the vibe....best spritibox song!
I'm a fan of Spiritbox and their older songs, but this definitely has to be my favorite song now. It's great! Especially that first scream verse.
Dude, we need this right now! Hell yes
Totally agree, sooo good.
Also.... Top Shirt mate!!
I hear you🤘This one removed the mara effect pt. 2 from a very longlasting and comfortable pole position on my personal hitlist. Heavy and yet effortless, a rare and magnificent combination.
Keep up the good work!
Greetings from Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany
Loved your reaction as always Tank ! and shout out to the Frequency / Amplitude mentions ! Those where the good times :)
Lol I fully agree, the whole vibe is incredible, that groove is just insane and the vocals are absolutely pitch perfect. This little EP they released is brilliant but this is a standout tbf.
We boutta mosh on the neon dance floors with this one babyyyy
That song is awesome in all the possible ways.
Thanks Tank for showing me some new music that I can enjoy. And if you like that, you should definetely check Ankor.
I have become a massive fan. Huge. And I love every song they have ever done. I adore the variation of the band.
Being from Canada and seeing a metalcore band tear it up and just consistently make amazing music like Spritibox does is so cool!! All 3 songs were amazing and are on repeat constantly for me They are easily one of or if not my fav band for sure!

Top three for me for sure. Love the vibe of this song. Spiritbox does not disappoint.
Ooohhh, you just listed some of my favorite late 90s bands! I didnt hear Fear Factory at first, but I do now!
I would love to see you react to Warbringer. They are such a tight amazing band. Their drummer is a BEAST! so even if you watch his drum video for "Firepower Kills". Gives me goosebumps.
I'm glad someone still remembers Fear Factory!
I love you! I love this song! I love Spiritbox!
Love that you teared up. Spiritboxs music always makes me tear up even when it's not sad it's just put together so well it hits and it's like emotion overload!
I swear to God we have the same taste in music you're spot on with this and the malevolence stuff rock on dude
I love love love your channel! I just found it but I love how you put facts about the music and bands. No one else does that! You got a new subscriber my dude! 🤘🤘🤘

Yeah i had basicaly the same reaction its really good this song speak when you listen ,nice review too 👍
Love this song!
Love this track!
Many say Garbage but when I hear this I also hear more of the Fear Factory element
This is 100% my new favorite Spiritbox song, thats not crazy at all.
I missed you bro. This made my heart happy, can't wait to see you do the other 2

If modern pop music were more like this, I'd listen to alot more of it.
Hell ya man! Richard Janvrin and Metal Birb had similar reactions. People from the cloth know man. Such a cool sound.
Love ya Tank! Your reactions are fun to watch, and I appreciate the gear commentary. Friend of mine hooked me on Spiritbox just this past week, and it's friggin' awesome!!!
As an addendum, I was on the highway when this one hit, was definitely a fast driving song ;)
I love this song
the vibes with the new EP are freaking amazing!! What a band!
never mind the song Tank, your camera quality is looking crisp as hell oh my god
content is forever getting better and better!!
No lie, I have been listening to this and the other two songs since they dropped every damn time in touch music, almost non stop.
It's an anytime vibe song, just fantastic 🙌
Haven’t checked in with your vids in a bit but I love the new camera! Huge upgrade man! Gratz on all your success
I love Spiritbox, and I love the album Eternal Blue. That album is going to be my go to recommendation if someone asks me for suggestions to get into metal.
