    Every time Silent Planet drops an album they’re guaranteed to drop the best closing track of the year

    • @AustinNygaard
      @AustinNygaard Před 8 měsíci +5

      Yes! This is probably my favourite closer of theirs!

      Elysium on Heavener still lands strong but this is pretty accurate

      @SamuelStudios Před 8 měsíci +2

      @ADifferentShadeOfUtop1a whether you like them or not they are far from butt rock and probably farther from being butt rock from heavener(not shitting on heavener though bc i did enjoy it)

  • @AJNunezMusic
    @AJNunezMusic Před 8 měsíci +94

    The fact Silent Planet could put out the masterpiece that is iridescent and then follow it up with another masterpiece is absolutely insane. The creativity and diversity in both albums is something I’ve never heard any bands do. It’s something new for them but still sounds like Silent Planet. Basically I love this band and can’t wait to see them again.

  • @VulcanicCloud
    @VulcanicCloud Před 8 měsíci +26

    Offworlder is probably my favorite opening to any album ever. That first 30 seconds never ceases to not get my adrenaline pumped and make me wanna sprint for 10 miles. I think I still find the singles as the best part of the album, which is saying something considering how good it all is.

  • @THRyals22
    @THRyals22 Před 8 měsíci +48

    Such an incredible album. The riffage on Dreamwalker was my favorite as well. Also, is it just me.. or does the track SUPERBLOOM have a STARSET-esque vibe?

    • @tomk8350
      @tomk8350 Před 8 měsíci +2

      I second this comment. Right now my aoty is Fatalism, im just infatuated with how crisp the production sounds and how absolutely riffy it sounds. Heavener and Superbloom are tied for second. Absolutely amazing in their own rights.

  • @CasualChaoz
    @CasualChaoz Před 8 měsíci +5

    I've had this on repeat all day and it's making me think long and hard on what my AOTY is. There have been so many stellar releases this year its been so hard to narrow it down. And now there's this, this holy fuck this is insane album.
    I have been blown away several times this year with Currents new record, Veil Of Maya, Invent Animate, Polaris and a couple other's that aren't coming to mind. But holy shit this is just such an album, I can't even relay my thoughts into words on this that's how happy I am with this album.

    They are and always have been my favorite band since 2016... This album was amazing through and through and the only negative I can think of is that I miss Thomas' cleans. Not saying Garrett has bad cleans, just that I really loved Thomas' voice in contrast to the amazing screams of Garrett. These lads deserve all the love in the world with how special they are too... 10/10, along with all of their albums.

  • @hpviolaguy
    @hpviolaguy Před 8 měsíci

    When the end began for sure and still today after listening to the album, maybe it will change even if I strongly doubt it, but I think the album on its own is fantastic and shows a great example of modern metalcore and a good way for Silent Planet to move towards. Nonetheless, as a Silent Planet album I find myself seeing less similarities between old and new Silent Planet which is good and obviously necessary otherwise they would always sound the same. But what I mean by that is that I am finding myself not seeing strong assets of Silent Planet that they used to do even in Irridescent (which I think is a perfect transition between the cycle of when the end began and this new era) I am talking about complex rythm patterns both for instrumentals and vocals, riffage that was very particular to Mitch with big riffs and jazzy elements here and there and a way of writing that was different from other guitarists. I do not by any means am saying that these elements are completely gone or even gone or that it's a bad decision from them. Of course I love their work and this album and strongly support the band and it's probably me being too much of a When the end began fan that makes me think this way. I however recognize that they are more focusing on the experiment modern metalcore side of things now especially with Buster on the mix which can explain what I've told previously. I will of course give it a ton more of listens to see how my perspective changes but this how with a couple of listens done already. Silent Planet is one of the best band in the genre no doubt

    • @hpviolaguy

    If I put together a playlist of "Silent Planet's best songs" there would be a lot of songs from each of their albums. But, gun to head decision, it would have to be When The End Began.

    There are tracks I enjoyed off the record, no doubt. However I didn't connect as i did with Everthing Was Sound or When the End Began. It's a personal taste and not a fallacy. I mearly miss the melody; and wish an end to the endless downtuning
