Best music I’ve ever heard
Oh fuck yeah
literally the best album created bless your ears!
To answer your question about Firstborn, it's not Garrett's personal experience per se but it is the experience a personal close friend of his went through, having to bury a child who died at I want to say about 6 years old.
"My resolve, does it shake beneath a four-foot casket shadow" absolutely destroys my soul every time.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 1000 pit moves, I fear the man who has practiced 1 pit move 1000 times."
- Me at Drew's pit moves during Vanity of Sleep
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Their first 3 albums are connected: The night god slept, Everything was sound, When the end began. Everything was sound is in my opinion their best work, so you are in for a treat when you get to that album!
100% agreed. Psychscape is easily my favorite song.
Is that why Trilogy is called Trilogy? *gasp* dun dun dun
In all seriousness though I could see that and that's what I've thought for a while now. It is both a nod to the past, a closure/end of an era (apocalypse, peripeteia if you will), but looking ahead to a new one.
Would love to see a track by track for Iridescent for sure, though I can understand them leaving it up to interpretation (or maybe it being a personal album). Also interesting as to why there are no footnotes on Iridescent too. There are def a few references in the lyrics that I've noticed though (though they aren't listed). Very lyrically complex and very well done and thought out album, that I think I have an interpretation on, but am still wrapping my head around (dont think I have all the pieces yet).
Everything was sound is a perfect album for me. It’s so good man 😭😭
@@LivingInTragedy it really is. I only started listening to it the last few months. Only listened too the last 2.
This album has a very special place in my heart 💙
I found out about Silent Planet when the single Vanity of Sleep released, and I don't know what it was, but something about that song specifically just gave me something to hold on to during the dark place I was in at the time.
As corny or dumb as it might sound to some people, Silent Planet genuinely saved me, and music in general often does for me 😅
same tho, not corny or dumb at all ^-^
I've had the same experience, specifically with visible unseen. The first time i heard that song I broke down, because i knew someone understood and loved me in a world where i grew up being taught to hate myself for my identity. So glad someone else loves them as much as i do. Big Love
Northern Fires is legit my favorite Silent Planet song. Shit goes so hard
Garrett has a masters degree in clinical psychology, which is why his writing is so introspective and intelligent. Truly a one of a kind writer
He also has a bachelors degree in English and a bachelors degree in philosophy, which explains a lot
Very intelligent guy!
The way Garrett articulates himself and is able to express his train of thought is just awe-inspiring. I mean, those lyrics just go under my skin ever time!
it’s really cool but why? why 3 degrees? to write music better?
@@osmosis8968 I doubt he got the degrees for musical purposes lmao, but it definitely influences his writing.
listening to this album and then watching Garrett's 56 minute explanation of the lyrics was what got me into Silent Planet, It was immediately easy to tell that there's a distinct level of thought and careful calculation that goes into their music
Unbelievable album. Great reaction! 'Share the Body' is one of those songs that on first listen goes unnoticed but it's probably in top 3 off of the album for me. This album never gets old.
Especially the meaning of the song that is drug abuse. Hits home for me
Love this album. Think I remember seeing it in a Reddit comment after the song dropped, but someone described the Vanity of Sleep breakdown to 'getting picked up and slammed down by a Decepticon Transformer repeatedly.' That comment and way of describing it has stuck with me ever since...What a banger of a song and album.
Hahahahaha! What a great simile!
Yeahhh this album goes so hard. The lyrics, the breakdowns, the atmosphere. Its tied with Iridescent for me for my favorite SP album. My first experience with this band was seeing them live in 2018 with ABR, they were the opening band and they opened their performance with “Panic Room” and “Native Blood”. Im also part indigenous and i have a relative who suffers from schizophrenia and Garrett mentioned to the audience that these 2 songs were dedicated to his friend who suffers from Schizophrenia and to all the Native/indigenous members in the audience. It made me so emotional, it made me tear up.
i discovered them for myself during that tour as well and i hope they keep reaching more ears as they deserve it, but psychescape is the song about schizophrenia and panic room is about ptsd they both start with the letter p so easy to mix the names up i get it 😅
Damn, how have I never listened to this band. I'm a huge fan of Currents and there are lots of similarities
Love this album so much, love seeing you give it the appreciation it deserves 👍
Lower Empire is such an underrated song. So unique for them and gets absolutely crazy.
I find it amazing how you recognize riffs from all these bands you've been listening to. That makes your reactions very interesting.
This album is so much about the state of the world - also a great summary... unfortunately I must add.
Lower Empire and Depths III are honestly some of their most hidden gems imo. Afterdusk is probably my favourite from this album, but so many great tracks. Can't wait for their new album. You're in for a real treat when you listen to Everything Was Sound too.
Lower empire is still my favourite silent planet song to date, which is funny because it really is a sleeper track
Seen the Silent Planet boys live a few times. They are just an incredible group of human beings as well as musicians. The thought, time, creativity, and effort they put into their music is unparalleled by most.
I highly recommend watching the interviews from Cayeminterviews with Garret Russel. He explains the meaning behind the lyrics of all the songs, some very deep stuff.
I am the wind, the Be and the Still
I am the Depths, the immeasurable Will
And when I awoke in that garden
Lord, did you see me as I was dreaming?
Getting to meet Garrett on SP's Australian tour was easily one of the best experiences in my life, such an incredible person and all such incredible musicians
Silent planet is such a good band and they're killing it live.
You need to put Resolve - Between the man and the machine in the core poll , awesome metalcore album you'll love for sure and they're getting some new fire stuff
One of my favorite albums. Would love to see you cover their album Everything Was Sound. It’s really incredible
Very solid sound, I’ve always been interested in these guys and have seen a couple videos, but this album definitely has a great vibe to it. Very similar to ERRA, which you actually got me into. But Drew, I’m gonna keep championing the band The Ocean to you bro. And I appreciate you’ve thrown them into your prog polls for sure man. If you want something to “dip your toes into” just so you have a feel for them, try Hadopelagic I: Omen of the Deep, into Hadopelagic II: Let Them Believe from the Pelagial album. Heavy, melodic, prog, synth goodness
Take a look at the Iridescent album by Silent Planet. It is a masterpiece.
All-time favourite album 🙏 No album I enjoy listening to front to back more. Thr Way it Ends is a close second but the lyrics and emotions in every tune is unmatched.
Mate this album is so close to my heart. Best album ever for me and none has topped that yet. Together with Currents, this band is my fave band ever🤘🏽
@@jerryjenn3370 we are one in the same both bands just hit me so hard emotionally. get me through all the good and bad times.
@@tyrussleightholme7261 same goes for me man! Had a rough youth with my parents splitting up and that really hit me emotionally, this album got me through everything. Now i made this album and band a part of me after tattooing the brailles '⠱⠢ ⠮ ⠢⠙ ⠆⠛⠁⠝' on my ankle🤘🏽 (if you ever need a person to talk to or whatever, hit me up dude!)
@@jerryjenn3370 hell ya brother same experiences myself. That's a sick tattoo idea I love that 🤘
Legends ❤️🙏🏻
another 12/10 album and also a band that never misses
Not sure whether you already have but check out their most recent single ":Signal:". It's absolutely insane
This album and iridescent are so good ,…all time fav albums …..
Visible Unseen is SO damn good.
Sorry very late. But still the best track they've written 😂
@@airsicklowlandr 11 months and a new album later and still true. It has it all - rippin riffs, solid lyrics, heavy af, catchy chorus
@@rareformx didn't fuck with the new album as much. Lyrically pretty shallow compared to WTEB and EWS
You gotta react to Uneven Structure Februus soon man. That album is absolutely golden. Such an epic debut.
Oooo lord yes. This album was my introduction to them and I’m so happy you listened to it.
So cool for you to check out this album. Collin will always be in my heart. "Don't you know me by these scars" - Share The Body
Alex is so underated as a drummer.
Hey Drew, have you ever heard of Norma Jean? Are we lucky enough to get some reacts on their music?👀
This band has a special place in my heart. I ve discovered them with The new eternity and I was completely mind blowned by the song writing, how talented these guys are musicians and of course by the best lyrics I red in my life. Garrett's lyrics and delivery make him one of the best lyrics writer and vocalist in the scene
Other thing, a track by track of Where the end began is available on the UNFD channel for those interested in lyrics insights and the meaning of each song on this album
I’ve seen Februus by Uneven Structure on there for a while. I know it’s not as popular as most of the stuff that’s on there, but I promise you Drew, you must listen to it. It’s kinda like “One” era Tesseract but with more ambience. It’s also very close to One as far as tone is concerned. They have very similar guitar tones.
So glad to see you do this record. When it came out, i was at the lowest point i'd hit in my life, dealing with my identity and growing up in the church and a society that hates who i am, which is what the song Visible Unseen is about. This record absolutely saved my life, will never stop loving these guys.
Firstborn is my favorite song of all time... Makes me cry every time I hear it... Was bawling when I saw em play it live. The song has single handedly made me decide that kids probably aren't for me. I'd be devastated if I lost one.
The riff on norther fires sounds like an invent animate song off Greyview.
I wanna give you the heads up in future SP songs to pull up lyrics from somwhere not spotify related, purely because there's a lot of context listed in the footnotes Garrett leaves in the original texts.
It can be really helpful to understand the songs even deeper
Love the album and loved the video, cheers drew as always 🤘 edit: Garret is no doubt a GOATed lyricist on the same level as Kendrick Lamar
Visible unseen is probably one of the best songs ever. I also really like the clip to that song. It really fits and the visuals are amazing! Crazy song! ❤️
So glad you liked it! Just to comment on the last 4 songs, they definitely are songs that don’t have a wow factor for first listens, but they come back when you listen to them a couple more times. Firstborn, I believe, is about Garrett’s friend who lost a child. I believe Garrett does a breakdown of each song’s lyrics. I know he did for the album before this “Everything Was Sound”. I feel like SPs style is almost chaotic on a first listen, but once you start to learn the songs they just keep getting better and better. Hope you listen to it a few more times and update us on how it hits you later!
Ever done any Phinehas reviews/reactions? Metalcores heaven I reckon. Nice SP reaction, the 3 before the latest one were something special indeed
When you do The Night God Slept…do the (redux) version boss! Much better production all around💯🤘
Def a band to pay attention to with cross references within their own works (aside from other footnotes, they will often nod to past songs/albums, Currents and Architects and others do this too).
[[Was just about the answer with that riff you found so familiar from Northern Fires. Scorpion Hymn by Erra around 1:17. But it seems you got it already. Nice. Man starting to know his stuff, safe to say you're becoming a metalhead now. Come a long way in since you first started. Maybe safe to say you found your favorite sound or vibe in metalcore (specifically prog metalcore) (though I love both core and non-core metal)]]
Also multi part or connected songs across albums too. Depths trilogy is the big one of course. But also check for First Mother, First Father, and Firstborn. Firstborn being from this album.
*also when you get to the first album, def recommend the redux (rerecorded/remixed) version of the album. The original is great too, but the redux really brings the potential/greatness of that album out even more (it's up to you though).
One of the first bands that got me into metalcore.Unfortunately still underrated.
Love Silent Planet!
If you board the train to Riff City some say you'll end up stopping at Phineas - The Fire Itself 🔥
Their live show is amazing as well
If I'm not mistaken with firstborn basically a fan went to a concert who loved the band and his child was dying, just sitting at home hooked up to a machine and invited the band to see the child.
NOT ATLANTIC IN THE BACKGROUND DURING THE PUPPY PART 😭
IIRC Firstborn is about parents having to bury a child but not Garrett's own story. I seem to remember it may be about a friend of his losing a child but i'm not 100% sure.
This album was insane, my AOTY for 2018 easily.
When you started throwing down on the Vanity of Sleep haahhaha their drops make you wanna injure someone then read them a dictionary
is that Atlantic i hear at the start? great video lad
Correct sir. Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻
You should definitely listen to the new Norma Jean album. They are a underated classic metalcore band
Will Putney is great and he also mixed After the Burial’s Dig Deep album btw
It all makes sense now
@@DrewFortune97Ya your gonna love the production for Fit For An Autopsy, especially they're new record. Sea of Tragic Beasts Production is very similar to When The End Began but they're newest record, Oh What The Future Holds has the best sounding drums and guitar tone I've Heard since ERRA's Self Titled record. I think your gonna really enjoy the FFAA albums when you eventually get to them.
Poetry Core
Finallllyyyyyyyyyy which is your fav?? From the album
11:09 wouldn’t be ERRA - Scorpion Hymn would it?
Edit: just keep watching hahaha I thought that was it
"I think therefore I am" is solipsism in a nutshell. It's a school of psychology.
Garretts phd level intellect bleeding into his lyrics yet again.
There is an hour long interview with him on the old YTs with him breaking down this album lyric by lyric. Really worth a watch.
sorry i have to butt in but theres a couple things i wanna note here:
"Cogito Ergo Sum" or "I think therefore I am" is a proof of existence which states that one exists because a being capable of thought must, necessarily, exist.
This is slightly different from solipsism which is belief that the self is all that can be known to exist. Slight differences but important to note in epistemology.
It's also Rene Descartes teachings in philosophy, not psychology.
I highly recommend you check his writings out though. Epistemology is the study of knowledge (how we acquire it, how we can trust it etc.) and Descartes is one that we study first amongst others.
@@imaginedbywestfall upvote
Visible Unseen is such a beautiful song man. Youll never forget it
Only thing to mention is this came out in 2018 not 2014***
When people tell me metal is just screaming, I show them Silent Planet and show them the lyrics
Also when will we be seeing a Hotel Books reaction?
You should checkout SOREPTION- JORD!! really impressive new tech death album.
I got serious ERRA Vibes frommsome of this.
The Uneven Structure spam continues, i know februus is coming one day, hopefully soon🙏🏻
11:15, i think you might be referring to Trilogy, but Yeah i agree with the erra comparison as well
Will Putney has produced probably 75% of good music in the scene. He’s the absolute goat of music production 🐐
My favorite their album is EP Come wind come weather, please check it, not tipical album for this band
ok i am on the first song, it would be an amazing song but the singers are not living up to the song, the post process on one of the guys is cringe, the other one is just decent but nothing amazin compared to the rest of the music :( I hope it gets better
