  • The albums finally here and WOW did it blow my expectations away! All these songs that weren't released as singles are INSANE, I mean I guess technically this one is a single now but still haha. Such a great mix of all their previous works in my opinion, they just keep getting better and better. Interesting that we have another 6 string song here, these riffs are KILLER and remind me a lot of songs like The Place I Feel Safest, Forget Me, and My Disguise, which are some of my top favorites from them. Not sure which song is my favorite yet, but this one is definitely up there! Any way, feel free to discuss the album below and let me know what some of your favorites are! I do want to cover more from this album, but I also want to actually enjoy and absorb it before going crazy into working on that as to not burn myself out or burn out the enjoyment of the songs while they're fresh.
    Thanks for stopping by, and if you enjoyed, make sure to like, subscribe, share - all that fun stuff!

      Funny story - when the I Let The Devil in EP dropped, I covered My Disguise and The Rope that same weekend. The following week I tagged the band in some clips of them on IG, and Brian commented on it saying something like they were all watching it the other day on CZcams and good job and all that, which was cool enough on its own. Two weeks later I see them in concert, and Chris starts mingling with the crowd and my friend goes “hey this is my friend, he loves you guys and covered some of your new songs!” Chris ponders for a moment and goes “oh yea, Alex right?” I was fucking MIND-BLOWN and incredibly humbled, a moment I’ll never forget. Super cool dudes, this band is

    fucking insane brother, you're always the first one to cover these Currents song. This album is a masterpiece from start to finish, you have to cover the whole album !! This song and Gone Astray are my top for this album, absolutely phenomenal. Probably album of the year for me, every songs are absolutely insane
    -Edit: Damn that's a 6 strings, might learn it when some tabs drop, one of the sickest opening riff of the album

    • @alexweinmuller
      @alexweinmuller  Před rokem +3

      Much appreciate my man’s! And I agree, this album crushed my expectations! Like I mentioned in the bio, I wanna absorb the album and not rush it like I did with The Way It Ends but these songs will definitely be covered 😂 I’m itching to do Over And Over or Beyond This Road next, I still have to listen to Gone Astray and Guide Us Home more. I thought it was pretty cool how they gave Chris a spot on vocals for Gone Astray! And yea another six string song! I was shocked by that considering all the riffage, and slightly upset bc I wanted to use my new seven string for such a sick song 😅

      @@alexweinmuller I dont own a 7 string (for now) and i'm really happy to see that currents put out this kind of riffs on 6 strings, So Alone doesnt have that much sick riffs, its a lot of 0's so a bit less interesting to learn imo, but definitely gonna learn this song when tabs will pop on youtube, still fucking amazed that you can figure out these riffs by ear and so quickly !!

    • @alexweinmuller
      @alexweinmuller  Před rokem +1

      Haha dude I almost didn’t get on covering So Alone right away due to that fact, it sounds sick but not a whole lot going on except for that one little quick riff thrown in there 😂 and definitely do it man! It’s such a fun song, and thank you as always! Developing the ear for it just takes time, I’ve been figuring out songs for a long time now, it definitely helps understanding the way a band writes though and techniques they like to use, so covering all of their songs in the past helps MASSIVELY!

      Haha an old ear maybe! 😂 it’s just from years of practice from learning by ear and learning/studying various genres of music, also massively helps having a decent number of Currents tracks under my belt prior to this - kinda helps understand their approach to writing/patterns they tend to lean in towards. Thank you though, I appreciate 😀🙏🏻
