I would absolutely love to see you react to their whole catch-33 album since it's 13 tracks that flow together as one song with 3 or 4 distinct sections. It's only about 47 minutes so it hopefully wouldn't run more than 2 hours of video length and you would be one of 3 people on the platform to react to it. Trust me when I say the meshuggah fans would come out in force to run it up, just like we did when drew fortune did his full reaction. A lot of us believe it to be their best work so far, and while I still put obzen above it, its easily their second best album imo.
Wow, Meshuggah, Elder and Intronaut. I love all these bands. I hope to see more reactions from Elder especially, because theyre such an underated band. Definitely the best stoner rock band out there
I am 100% okay with this format! It is easier IMO to view one longer video a few times a week than try and keep up with watching 4-6 videos when they come out every day. I pick times when I can just catch up during the week.
Would love to hear more Intronaut. Love to hear Danny getting some love on his last album he was with the band. Dude is criminally underrated. The way he plays busy but still modestly, especially using cymbals to compliment the music, is all just awesome. Everything he plays has such clarity, his drums and cymbals sound amazing and it never sounds overbearing. They released one album without him and while the band is still badass, their music has a COMPLETELY different feel because Danny Walker is gone.
This new format is great. Glad you're back. Can you do Meshuggah Violent Sleep Of Reason as the next track of theirs? Absolute monster of a track. Keep on rocking man!
@@Flugmorph theres no track by Meshuggah that's by far better than another to me. I love the band. I just think this track has a standout groove and sound.
Love the new style, my good man. Would love it even more if every one had a song by Elder in it. They're a very special band, I think. Great reactions within a larger reaction!
Love that smile of yours when the final riff/groove hit. That is exactly the way I feel listening to that riff. I could listen to it the whole day. It's awesome.
Intronaut and Elder have become two bands that have been on constant rotation for me since I discovered them a couple years ago. I was stoked to see that you have both bands in 1 video!
I really appreciate your attention to the mixing and engineering aspects of the music. Aside from the great metal listens, it's my favorite thing about the channel. Valuable insights.
5:40 Good ear. In a recent interview, Tomas stated they intentionally made a warmer mix. They said they're getting old and are aiming for (paraphrase:) "less if a truck coming at you" lol
Love the new format..I think you may enjoy the album "I" by Meshuggah...it's a gnarly beast of a song...20min .. it's a banger... Keep up the awesome work
Hi Geebz! Its always a pleasure when someone shows some love to Intronaut! They are freaking awesome. I would love to see you react to a band called BEARDFISH, i would think that you already hace made a video but i think you have not, believe me when i tell you, you will really like them. I really liked the new format, podcast vibes, i like to hear you talk about the music i like. Best of lucks to you my friend 🖖🏻👽
The 50+ minute time was intimidating to me, but I started it and see what you’re trying to do here. For most reactions, if I saw that time length, I would probably not even watch. You have a big fan base, so you can make it work. If you did this type of reaction for say Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss, I’m in. Will have to watch this in bits and pieces since I usually watch reactions on work breaks or lunch break. Much love.
Thank you very much for your thoughts on the format! And yes, QOTSA and Kyuss sounds like it would be a great combo on the new format - Have a mellow day :)
Stop calling yourself a NOOB. You've reacted and heard so much of this music now. Seeing you grow and appreciate it. Is what makes this channel so special. You are a metal head now. ADMIT IT!!
Especially after proving that all of the allegations against him were bullshit in court. I get why they let him go at that point but I really feel like he should be able to join the band again.
As a monster as alex, the last album totally felt for sure the absence of Danny; i hope in the future they can solve it in some way and bring Dany back, Intronaut doesnt sound the same without him.
Your awesome.... just subscribed, you are very talented, very smart Musician! -SOEN! More SOEN- please! You will never be dissatisfied with this band. Watch all your shows- old- New, whatever format, your channel is the absolute best. Thanks to you , because you teach me a lot!🙏
Longform format is awesome! First thing I thought when I saw a near hour long video: “Maybe there’s some hope that Geebz could do a full album review in the future”. Tons of prog rock and metal albums are concept albums and I think it would be immensely entertaining to hear your takes on works like that in their entirety!
Please do more Meshuggah! Personally i tend to watch your videos on the bands i like, luckily in this case Meshuggah was first so I saw it in the title but if it was last i may have missed it and not watched at all. I'd prefer many short videos than one really long video, unless it was multiple songs for the same band.
I like either format, they both have pros and cons. Do what works best for you. All three songs in this vid happened to be bands I really like, so it was pretty cool to have them all in one place. But even if there were only one of three that I was interested in, the time stamps make it easy to navigate. Good stuff.
Im loving watching you go through this journey as you are clearly very open minded and understanding of all sorts of music. I like the new format, as long as it works good for you i think it will work.
My only comment maybe make it a lil more clear in title which names are the bands and which are the songs so people that havent heard of the bands before, was a tad confused but fine once i watched obviously
I’m still here mang! Love the new format as I’m of the belief that more of your insight is always appreciated. It may be tough to pull off but you could do them by “themes” - so like a few songs that illustrate a musical concept nicely or a whole suite of songs back-to-back. Or a full album review, like, for instance, ‘Colors’ by Between the Buried and Me. Keep ‘em coming and we’ll keep enjoying ‘em. 🤙🤙🤙
Great to see another Elder track. Such a treat to see and completely relate to your first reactions. Every time they release something new it's such an exciting and engaging journey. I could never explain it but something about their music always felt "right". I've been amazed by it for the 10 years I've been listening to the band. And to be honest, I don't want to figure out what that is. It's just magic.
New format works for me! Nice to have you back; loved seeing your response to the huge moments in Sul Ponticello. That whole album is amazing and that particular track translates really nicely when they play it live.
I really like this idea. It's tough when CZcamsrs I love happen to release tons of videos a week; I simply can't "ring the bell" for them. I'm hoping this not only works out for you, but catches on elsewhere. EDIT: I'm still here lol
Hi Geebz. Welcome back!! Glad to hear you're doing well and keen to continue our musical journey! The new format is a great idea having the option to listen to a group of tunes, but it really depends on what is easiest for you... I'd say the only drawback on this format is that it's harder to sort through people's comments that are specific to the particular band or genre. I often like to read the comments to find out a bit more about the band or other tracks of theirs. Obviously still can do, but just a bit harder this way! Keep up the great work regardless mate! Cheers from London, UK.
Hey Geebz! First of all love the new format, and secondly, in the Meshuggah track, you got it spot on with not catching on the highs. They said in recording this album, they wanted to go with a warmer approach and something that's better to listen back to instead of their older songs, which are more punch you in the face kind of guitar vibes. Overall still love what you're doing and I'm glad you're progressing your ways and learning a lot! Edit: Oops I just saw someone else comment the same thing I'm sorry!
New format is great, good way to get us watching bands we wouldn't usually check out! After Meshuggah I felt like I was chilling with you checking out new Music I'd never heard before. Intronaught is gold. They got a new fan here! Cheers Geebz!
Looking forward to you doing Haken's entire Messiah Complex suite (I - V) with this new format. It's only about 15 minutes in length and has so much depth.
man this was awesome! love the new way of doing this! it felt as if I was listening to a radio show but with more than just music! and the fact that you can go and choose what you want is a great idea too! Meshugga was good! but the 2 other ones were quite a discovery! aaaand I'm still here! good to have you back sir and aaawright! ✌peace to us all!
With this new format, it would be interesting to see you do different eras for one band and compare/contrast. (Early metallica, middle metallica, newer metallica, or any other band)
The part where you talk about Meshuggah not always landing on the 1 sums up so much of what I love about their riffs. Just as you’re figuring out the riff some little change happens and throws you off and maybe never happens again through the track. Can’t wait for the whole new album!
Big Elder fan. You should also check out King Buffalo, they are my favorite in this "genera". 'Shadows' from their new album (12/21) is great newer song. If you go back to older albums check out 'Eta Carinae' off their 2020 album.
I really like the combined approach. As someone pointed out it is like listening to it with a good friend. However, finding one hour in between might be very difficult. This might lead to a more fragmented listening approach to each video.
Geebz! This new format def works for me, digging the variety of bands and therefor styles of music. ...and the way you dissect the music feels like storytelling which sets you apart from all the other channels. Knowledge of- and love for music and being able to share what you hear (and feel) is freakin' awesome! MESHUGGAH will always be one of my fav bands out there! Destroying everything mathematically that's getting in their way! No bullshit, no gimmicks. INTRONAUT, wow, love them too! Great (dark) vibe, technical and groovy! KILLER!!! Keep it up Geebz!
I was curious what the new format was gonna be. I like this, and I’m really thankful that you put timestamps in the description. This format might have been a lot less user-friendly if I couldn’t pick up where I left off between songs, or skip songs I’m not interested in.
That Elder song is great, Omens and Embers off that album are equally as good. Would love to see a reaction to the song Vero by Somali Yacht Club, definitely one of my favourites from the prog/stoner rock genre.
I'm still here! 1 song per video works better for me. It's easier to find songs, will give you more views, easier to share, doesn't make me go back to find unfinished videos since it's hard to find 1 hour to watch a vid, and it gives each song its own spotlight. Comments won't all be mixed up about different songs too.
i haven't started watching yet but what i enjoy about longer videos is a pick and choose longer videos from my fav channels to catch up with a few times a week. it's my tv time and it's like watching any other tv show or movie. and 100% appreciate the time stamps. SOOOO helpful!
I love a lot of your videos for Tool and some other rock and metal bands. Elder was a mystery when I discovered them late last year, now I don't know how I missed them for so long. Please do more of their stuff, even though they aren't your most popular videos, please? Catastasis off their newest album is incredible.
I would love to see you do Meshuggah's album, Catch 33. It really is best to take as a full experience. That would be one hell of a long video, but I would watch the whole damn thing.
You have to check out Cloudkicker at some point! One of the best riff-writers of the last decade. I recommend "What They Do Is Not Art" from his latest
Love Elder. Similar but different, also try checking out King Buffalo or Elephant Tree. All current and great bands falling under that progressive stoner rock/metal umbrella.
I have no problems with the format. And glad you caught the new Meshuggah track! If this format helps with your algorithm and success as a content creator, then I'm all about it! Seems more efficient
Elder is my favorite band and In Procession is my favorite track by them. I'm so stoked on this channel. I watched your reaction to the Zelda theme orchestra and was sold on the channel with your very wholesome and organic method, but I didn't realize how much music you review that resonates with me so much.
Dude, Danny Walker is probably one of the most underrated drumers walking this Earth (1st time i heard him on this album). The stickman has tremendous groove and discipline.
I love the new format, I think it's a great Idea! To add to the long list of requests, I'd love to see you decompose "Pallid Hands" or "Death Knows Where" by In Solitude.
I really love the new format! It really gives us all the chance to get into the music. It doesn’t feel rushed and it has a much more chill vibe. I think it suits you perfectly!
I really like this new format! With longer video times I can hit play, sit back, and do other things while it plays and listen in. Or, as you said, I can use the timestamps! Options are great. As for the video itself, never really paid attention to Meshuggah, but that backing rift (not sure if it was the bass or what) just kind of thrums within you after a minute or so. Not my style of music really, but it sure did get my foot tapping haha. Really enjoyed it.
You're helping me get even more stoked about this album dropping exactly a month from today! Hope you're got time to check it out when that time comes. Awesome job on the new format btw
I really like this format. I’ve been a fan of all 3 of these bands for years so it’s cool to see them all get a reaction on the same video as opposed to individual ones. Wouldn’t mind more like these even if it’s only done once in a while 👍🏼
After watching the full video, i go to ask if this format is taking away from us the possibility of reactions to larger pieces from bands like between the buried and me, or pretty much any long song that i (and i know that i am no the only one) personally love. Hope you can make it work like some kind of special episode or something like that.
I agree. I believe this new format is worth a valid effort but have apprehensions about it working in the long run (for your reason and others). Maybe such a format would be best served as a monthly "new release" special?
I'm still here baby! Loved the long format. I think this also gets you closer to full album reactions (like Between The Buried And Me's most recent "Colors II"). But for reals, this was a great hurrah back! Keep it coming, Mahalo!
This is actually a great idea. There's definitely been some bands on your channel people have no doubt skipped because they've never heard of them before. In a format like this, if they've already clicked on the video, they can have a little listen anyway and see what it is.
Not sure what the advantages of the new format are... My guess is, you would have more views with the 3 separate videos than you would with a combined one. I'm not 100% sure how chapters work, but won't me watching this only give you one view, as opposed to 3 views if there were separate tracks? Also, tracks would be much easier to find for non-subscribers who are just looking for content on specific bands. Having said that, great vid. Sul Ponticello is one of the best Intronaut tracks.
I agree with this. I personally do not care, because I only watch the videos about bands I know already, and this video for example I only watched the Meshuggah part and I'm fine with that! But I think you're right, it might not beneficial for the growth of the channel. But if Geebz doesn't care necessarily, as I'm sure this is just a hobby for him anyway, then if uploading only 2 videos a week is easier, I say go for it!
This format is a fantastic way to get around to more tracks from bands, and it gives you liberty to (if you wish) cycle through 2 or 3 singles from one album, get to 2 or more "standout" tracks that people have recommended to you (or ones that you know of prior, like TBT or with classic rock & metal,) or in this case, get to multiple tracks within the same sort of genre, or like tracks. Hopefully this will be a win-win for you and the audience, Geebz, cause I could absolutely see this being a great shift in the channel! And like you said, if things start getting to be too much, or if you want to switch it up again, it's all good to me. This channel is a great way for me to experience new bands, and occasionally some new tracks from bands I've heard of before. Thanks for all you do, man, and wish you the best with everything! Will keep watching and riding on this musical wave with ya probably until the end. Keep on rocking!🤙 P.S. - As always, I'm still here!
Geebz you would absolutely love Delta Sleep, amazing technical sound especially accompanied with the thoughtful lyrics. I recommend Camp Adventure or View to a Fill
Hey Geebz! I was really curious what you were gonna do. I want to tell you that personally, I dig it, for what it’s worth. Thank you for putting in so much work, and so much Good work at that. You’re very considerate of your audience as well. Thanks a lot and keep rockin’ brother! 🤘🏻 Oh hey, by the way, check out Alex Terrible’s (Singer from Slaughter To Prevail) Russian Hate Project stuff. He covers all kinds of pop songs with his Insane guttural metal vocals. It’s Crazy!
I`m always still here dude. Liking the new format and if it works better around your life and health then it is definitely the way to go. I think the new style will introduce more people to more new bands which I have always been about and is one of the main reasons I started watching music reactions in the first place. You may lose a few people to attention spans that are starting to decrease every year but most music fans are into longer (album length rather than just singles) listens especially in these genres, but the inclusion of the chapters is a great move to give the best of both worlds.
HELL YEAH MORE INTRONAUT!
I would absolutely love to see you react to their whole catch-33 album since it's 13 tracks that flow together as one song with 3 or 4 distinct sections. It's only about 47 minutes so it hopefully wouldn't run more than 2 hours of video length and you would be one of 3 people on the platform to react to it. Trust me when I say the meshuggah fans would come out in force to run it up, just like we did when drew fortune did his full reaction. A lot of us believe it to be their best work so far, and while I still put obzen above it, its easily their second best album imo.
I came back to Catch 33 lastly; I didn't know this album that much and I have to admit that this is probably the most intense album they did. Cheers!
If you do this I'll buy you a coffee full of cocain, acid and morphine, that way you can hear AND feel the album as you go through 😉🤘
Wow, Meshuggah, Elder and Intronaut. I love all these bands. I hope to see more reactions from Elder especially, because theyre such an underated band. Definitely the best stoner rock band out there
Intronaut's drummer at the time, Danny Walker, is a powerhouse and one of the best syncopated players I've seen.
I am 100% okay with this format! It is easier IMO to view one longer video a few times a week than try and keep up with watching 4-6 videos when they come out every day. I pick times when I can just catch up during the week.
Man what a good choice for an Intronaut track, an immense sonic journey, and a poignant message if you delve into the lyrics.
New format is awesome, really brings out the vibe of chilling with a good friend jamming out to some tunes together! Much love brother Geebz!
Absolutely! Geebz is our bud man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Meshuggah stated they wanted the album to feel "warmer" and more easy to listen to production-wise. You noticed that with your first pause
I saw Intronaut live perform this whole album in it's entirety. I was right in front of Joe Lester, insane bassist.
Would love to hear more Intronaut. Love to hear Danny getting some love on his last album he was with the band. Dude is criminally underrated. The way he plays busy but still modestly, especially using cymbals to compliment the music, is all just awesome. Everything he plays has such clarity, his drums and cymbals sound amazing and it never sounds overbearing. They released one album without him and while the band is still badass, their music has a COMPLETELY different feel because Danny Walker is gone.
This new format is great. Glad you're back. Can you do Meshuggah Violent Sleep Of Reason as the next track of theirs? Absolute monster of a track. Keep on rocking man!
not to shit on your parade but that track is by far the worst on that whole album.
@@Flugmorph no. Just no.
@@Flugmorph theres no track by Meshuggah that's by far better than another to me. I love the band. I just think this track has a standout groove and sound.
Fuck the people that things that song is bad. It's a very good track and I don't know if you have listened to the album enough.
VSOP def top 3 on that album!
Love the new style, my good man. Would love it even more if every one had a song by Elder in it. They're a very special band, I think. Great reactions within a larger reaction!
Thanks, Albert!
Love that smile of yours when the final riff/groove hit. That is exactly the way I feel listening to that riff. I could listen to it the whole day. It's awesome.

I really appreciate your attention to the mixing and engineering aspects of the music. Aside from the great metal listens, it's my favorite thing about the channel. Valuable insights.
Love the new format and the love for Intronaut. They're a stellar band! Keep rockin' Geebz!! 🤘🤘
You’re killing it Geebs. Thanks for tackling more Meshuggah. There is a lot going on in everything they’ve done.
5:40
Good ear.
In a recent interview, Tomas stated they intentionally made a warmer mix.
They said they're getting old and are aiming for (paraphrase:) "less if a truck coming at you" lol
Glad you said that - thought my high end was dipping out a bit :)
Love the new format..I think you may enjoy the album "I" by Meshuggah...it's a gnarly beast of a song...20min .. it's a banger... Keep up the awesome work

Hi Geebz! Its always a pleasure when someone shows some love to Intronaut! They are freaking awesome.
I would love to see you react to a band called BEARDFISH, i would think that you already hace made a video but i think you have not, believe me when i tell you, you will really like them.

danny walker is a total gem of a drummer and intronaut lost something truly special when they let him go. unreal
Especially after proving that all of the allegations against him were bullshit in court. I get why they let him go at that point but I really feel like he should be able to join the band again.
@@rippindrummer666 oh true, all the allegations proven wrong in court? Far out. It's shame. His style fits Intronaut so well.
Cheers to you, mate! Couldn't agree more.
As a monster as alex, the last album totally felt for sure the absence of Danny; i hope in the future they can solve it in some way and bring Dany back, Intronaut doesnt sound the same without him.
You need to revisit the Obzen album! Pineal gland optics and Pravus are a must.
Pineal gland optics is probably my favorite song. So hard.
Your awesome.... just subscribed, you are very talented, very smart Musician! -SOEN!

New Meshuggah single dropped yesterday "Light the Shortening Fuse" and it slams even harder than this 🤘 Glad to see you back Geebz!

Meshuggah is one of my most anticipated albums of the year. Both singles are crushing!
Great to see Elder getting some love!! You have to do Halcyon off this same album, incredible stuff!!!

Love Elder, Omens is a great album. They also teamed up with another band Kadavar to publish Eldovar: A Story of Darkness & Light
Eldovar has some really special stuff in those few tunes. Two badass bands.
I got that big beautiful beast on vinyl!
Hey Geebz! First of all love the new format, and secondly, in the Meshuggah track, you got it spot on with not catching on the highs.

Think of this:
If you are willing to create 60 minute content, you could do albumreviews.

I was curious what the new format was gonna be. I like this, and I’m really thankful that you put timestamps in the description. This format might have been a lot less user-friendly if I couldn’t pick up where I left off between songs, or skip songs I’m not interested in.
Loved watching you really get into the new Meshuggah track. Thanks for keeping us all entertained
Should have done “The Unlikely Event of a Water Landing” by Intronaut. Love the new format though.
That Elder song is great, Omens and Embers off that album are equally as good. Would love to see a reaction to the song Vero by Somali Yacht Club, definitely one of my favourites from the prog/stoner rock genre.
Somali kicks ass. They are actually Ukrainian, hope they are well. Would be topical for Geebz to react to them.
That whole new album is their best work yet. Claboration with Kadavar is also badass. Elder has become an amazing stoner prog band. Cheers
I'm still here!
1 song per video works better for me. It's easier to find songs, will give you more views, easier to share, doesn't make me go back to find unfinished videos since it's hard to find 1 hour to watch a vid, and it gives each song its own spotlight.
Comments won't all be mixed up about different songs too.
i haven't started watching yet but what i enjoy about longer videos is a pick and choose longer videos from my fav channels to catch up with a few times a week. it's my tv time and it's like watching any other tv show or movie. and 100% appreciate the time stamps. SOOOO helpful!
I love a lot of your videos for Tool and some other rock and metal bands. Elder was a mystery when I discovered them late last year, now I don't know how I missed them for so long. Please do more of their stuff, even though they aren't your most popular videos, please? Catastasis off their newest album is incredible.
Definitely dig this format! It might be neat to use the longer format to highlight one band or artist and show how their style evolved over time, too
All great bands and tracks. Love the new format!
Glad you enjoy it!
I would love to see you do Meshuggah's album, Catch 33. It really is best to take as a full experience. That would be one hell of a long video, but I would watch the whole damn thing.
Wow a 3-piece? Nice to see you experiment with new formats. Great content as always!
I like this more than their other stuff. Same reason I love Gojira, melodic, powerful and nuanced
I made it all the way through. Excellent selection of bands for this one. I really enjoy all three of them.
You have to check out Cloudkicker at some point! One of the best riff-writers of the last decade. I recommend "What They Do Is Not Art" from his latest
Great release. Favourite song is still "I" thou. Would like a reaction to that.
Love Elder. Similar but different, also try checking out King Buffalo or Elephant Tree. All current and great bands falling under that progressive stoner rock/metal umbrella.
Definitely King Buffalo
King Buffalo is absolutely ace, but holy shit does Elephant Tree hold a special place in my heart.
I have no problems with the format. And glad you caught the new Meshuggah track! If this format helps with your algorithm and success as a content creator, then I'm all about it! Seems more efficient
Elder is my favorite band and In Procession is my favorite track by them. I'm so stoked on this channel. I watched your reaction to the Zelda theme orchestra and was sold on the channel with your very wholesome and organic method, but I didn't realize how much music you review that resonates with me so much.
Love this format, watched the whole thing and its even more enjoyable than just one somng at a time :D
enjoy your coffee, cheers
Dude, Danny Walker is probably one of the most underrated drumers walking this Earth (1st time i heard him on this album). The stickman has tremendous groove and discipline.
when I saw Intronaut live perform this album, the dude just calmly walked out on a dark stage to his drums and played flawlessly...
I think the new format works just fine, it is easy to figure out and use. I always enjoy your content so very much! All my best to ya, Geebz.
I m loving the format. U can can actually do whole album reactions with this. I m down for the journey
I love the new format, I think it's a great Idea! To add to the long list of requests, I'd love to see you decompose "Pallid Hands" or "Death Knows Where" by In Solitude.
Please, listen to Diablo Swing Orchestra. My personal favorite is "Justice for Saint Mary" great song, great arrengements and great sound engineering
He would be the absolutely perfect reactor for DSO. That band needs more recognition. As well, I would die to see him react to Unexpect.
I recommended Superhero Jagganath during the livestream, but I don't think he saw it. Would love to see him decompose DSO though.
Wow you are missing on a lot. Listen to "Stratosphere serenade"
Hell yes DSO!
I really love the new format! It really gives us all the chance to get into the music. It doesn’t feel rushed and it has a much more chill vibe. I think it suits you perfectly!
Love Elder! One of my favorite bands right now.
I really like this new format! With longer video times I can hit play, sit back, and do other things while it plays and listen in. Or, as you said, I can use the timestamps! Options are great. As for the video itself, never really paid attention to Meshuggah, but that backing rift (not sure if it was the bass or what) just kind of thrums within you after a minute or so. Not my style of music really, but it sure did get my foot tapping haha. Really enjoyed it.
Intronaut is one of my favorite bands and so massively underrated, IMO. Thanks for helping me find new joy in an old favorite!
You're helping me get even more stoked about this album dropping exactly a month from today! Hope you're got time to check it out when that time comes. Awesome job on the new format btw
This format is awesome
I really like this format. I’ve been a fan of all 3 of these bands for years so it’s cool to see them all get a reaction on the same video as opposed to individual ones. Wouldn’t mind more like these even if it’s only done once in a while 👍🏼
After watching the full video, i go to ask if this format is taking away from us the possibility of reactions to larger pieces from bands like between the buried and me, or pretty much any long song that i (and i know that i am no the only one) personally love. Hope you can make it work like some kind of special episode or something like that.
Thank you for that - good point :)
I agree. I believe this new format is worth a valid effort but have apprehensions about it working in the long run (for your reason and others). Maybe such a format would be best served as a monthly "new release" special?
If it's this kind of amazing lineup of musical artists then I have no problem with this new format!
Glad to see you check out Intronaut!!
I'm still here baby! Loved the long format. I think this also gets you closer to full album reactions (like Between The Buried And Me's most recent "Colors II"). But for reals, this was a great hurrah back! Keep it coming, Mahalo!
This is actually a great idea. There's definitely been some bands on your channel people have no doubt skipped because they've never heard of them before. In a format like this, if they've already clicked on the video, they can have a little listen anyway and see what it is.
new format forced me to listen to tracks i wasn't here for in fist instance. thanks! i didn't knew Elder before, now i want everything :D
Not sure what the advantages of the new format are... My guess is, you would have more views with the 3 separate videos than you would with a combined one. I'm not 100% sure how chapters work, but won't me watching this only give you one view, as opposed to 3 views if there were separate tracks? Also, tracks would be much easier to find for non-subscribers who are just looking for content on specific bands.
Having said that, great vid. Sul Ponticello is one of the best Intronaut tracks.
Same thoughts. I guess he just finds it harder to upload every day or so. However i support him to do whatever he likes to do
I agree with this. I personally do not care, because I only watch the videos about bands I know already, and this video for example I only watched the Meshuggah part and I'm fine with that! But I think you're right, it might not beneficial for the growth of the channel. But if Geebz doesn't care necessarily, as I'm sure this is just a hobby for him anyway, then if uploading only 2 videos a week is easier, I say go for it!
I’m of the mind that he doesn’t care about views, rather just wants to get content out.
I spy with my little Abysmal eye something cool! Thanks for reaction 🙏🏻
This format is a fantastic way to get around to more tracks from bands, and it gives you liberty to (if you wish) cycle through 2 or 3 singles from one album, get to 2 or more "standout" tracks that people have recommended to you (or ones that you know of prior, like TBT or with classic rock & metal,) or in this case, get to multiple tracks within the same sort of genre, or like tracks.
Hopefully this will be a win-win for you and the audience, Geebz, cause I could absolutely see this being a great shift in the channel!
And like you said, if things start getting to be too much, or if you want to switch it up again, it's all good to me. This channel is a great way for me to experience new bands, and occasionally some new tracks from bands I've heard of before.
Thanks for all you do, man, and wish you the best with everything! Will keep watching and riding on this musical wave with ya probably until the end. Keep on rocking!🤙
P.S. - As always, I'm still here!
Whoa whoa...three absolute BANGERS in one video?? Bravo, sir.
Geebz you would absolutely love Delta Sleep, amazing technical sound especially accompanied with the thoughtful lyrics. I recommend Camp Adventure or View to a Fill
New format is very nice, I stayed with you throughout. Cheers man!
Hey Geebz! I was really curious what you were gonna do. I want to tell you that personally, I dig it, for what it’s worth. Thank you for putting in so much work, and so much Good work at that. You’re very considerate of your audience as well. Thanks a lot and keep rockin’ brother! 🤘🏻 Oh hey, by the way, check out Alex Terrible’s (Singer from Slaughter To Prevail) Russian Hate Project stuff. He covers all kinds of pop songs with his Insane guttural metal vocals. It’s Crazy!
I`m always still here dude. Liking the new format and if it works better around your life and health then it is definitely the way to go. I think the new style will introduce more people to more new bands which I have always been about and is one of the main reasons I started watching music reactions in the first place. You may lose a few people to attention spans that are starting to decrease every year but most music fans are into longer (album length rather than just singles) listens especially in these genres, but the inclusion of the chapters is a great move to give the best of both worlds.
I am still here! I really like this format. Please continue.
Bigger episodes?!?!?! Sold on the new format and we're only just kicking on.
Sir, you are my favourite reaction face over Meshuggah, ever !! Love it ! Excellent
