When this album was release, Tosin Abasi from Animals As Leaders said on his facebook page that he was not able to listen to something else at this moment. So, I gave it a try... The Contortionist is one of my favorite band ever, now. Even been enough lucky to see them live in a bar (!!!) somewhere in The Netherlands. Magic moment ! Thanks for this one, guys. Peace !
This is one of my favorite albums ever. Everything about it is incredible. You should check out "Ebb and Flow" from this album
Excellent album, every song goes hard. My personal favs are Integration, Thrive and The Source.
that's the hard part about picking songs from concept albums, like this and BTBAM etc.. we need a live hangout for a full playthrough.
My favorite album of all time. Every time I revisit a song I'm like "this one's my favorite!"
@@maxirxf good taste. the parable is criminally underrated also
Got to do ‘Flourish’ from this band. It’s a must. Great reaction. You guys are great. ❤️
Exoplanet is one of my favorite albums of all time. Perfect blend of heavy and melodic for my taste. Plus, the fact it's a concept album bumps it up a lot
Big same@@darkstar8196
Hell yeah you guys. I knew that bass drop was gonna blow it up for you. Such a great album. really good concept album where you pick up pieces from the other songs throughout.
Please do yourselves the favor of checking out more from The Contortionist. I'd also like to recommend Tesseract!!
Yes to Tesseract and I'll add Uneven Structure!
Hang on... These guys haven't touched tesseract!?!?.... Ohhhhh boy. And yes more contortionist! Finally going properly down the prog rabbit hole
TesseracT is the only band that can come close
CARBOMB!
About four minutes in, and a bit before that, I noticed that you noticed what the words were saying. Yeah. It's fucking glorious.
“Our visions detrimental to progressing” is such a fucking banger line the way it’s laid out. I always rewind it 1,000 times when I listen to this.
This band is full of gems.. The Center, Godspeed, Primordial Sound, Reimagined, Monochrome Passive/Pensive, ABSOLVE...
You gotta check out THRIVE off this album, it’s insane
Chump, chump, chump, chump.........
Nice reaction :D, greetings from Chile
Whoaaa!!! Your channel is making me check out so many bands... Try Frost by Uneven Structure.. You both will absolutely love it. 👍
Funny, I recommended this exact thing over at Key of Geebz channel a few minute ago. Great recommendation.
You should also watch the "Rediscovered" live version on your own. Here are some bands that deserve your attention :
Tesseract - Concealing Fate (live)
Entheos - Inverted Earth /Sunshift (live)
One of the best live bands. I’ve had the pleasure to open up for them once in my band. Seen them live 7 times.
I was going to see The Contortionist, Haken, and Devin Townsend. COVID shut everything down literally a few hours before the show started. I was psyched to see DT and Haken, but TC is probably my favorite band and I still have yet to see them live.
Me too ❤ on the 7 times. Never got to open for them. They are truly unmatched
Loving you guys with these reactions!! Especially the Opeth and Porcupine Tree ones. Your reactions are awesome. Much respect to you. All the way from Scotland 🏴 🤘
The Contortionist is a band that I cannot get enough of. And their name is a good fit for them, as each 4 albums are so different. But the thing that remains the same with these albums is that feeling of being weightless and getting lost in the beautiful music.
I HIGHLY recommend checking out more from them. They don’t get enough recognition
Monochrome(Passive)
Monochrome(Pensive)
Clairvoyant
The center
Thrive
Primordial Sound
The Parable
Holomovement
Feedback loop
Causality
Geocentric Confusion
Anatomy Anomalies
Flourish
Contact
Primal Directive
Vessel
Oscillator
Alk my fav songs
I introduced this band to my wife and at the time my girlfriend and she absolutely loves them, they are our favorite metal band. I am a huge metal fan and I've introduced a lot of bands to her and they are by far her favorite
I’m redescovering this album, so long long time ago
How beautifully they encapsulated dualtiy into the title track(s) of this concept album is just unreal. This band is sp special ❤ over a decade later and this record still gives me chills. Joey Baca is literally one and only on drums. Playing his grooves have always been an out of body experience for me. On old and new stuff. Cameron and Joey's brother on guitar too? Oooo 🤤 perfect blend of tech metal and post rock. Lessard's range on vocals is god tier as well
Knocked Loose - A Tear in a Fabric of Life
Bro... i still remember your reactions in your car, im glad to see that you continued with your channel! Much love!
Achingly beautiful !
I am so so so so glad that you guys reacted to this. This band is just... wow.
Anything pre Language Contortionist is solid, anything post Language Contortionist is god tier. This album and Clairvoyance are insanely good.
Didnt thought much about the ep but clairvoyance is a fucking masterpiece
This is the first time I have watched you guys! I love the energy and the way you two feel the music!
The Contortionist is such a great band. Really good live shows too. Check out Dreaming Schematics or Feedback Loop for some heavy jazz, or anything off of Exoplanet next.
lately it seems that your patreon members are using my playlists hahaha i love your reactions!
Y’all turned me on to a new group. Thanks guys!!!! Very cool!!!
First time listening to this, I was camping with some friends and some fungus 🍄. It was one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever had. This album will always be in my top favorites.
Thats how I react to that song everyday lol
Caligula's Horse - Graves has to be next up for you guys!
Haven’t made it 6 seconds into the reaction yet but you must know - truly one of the most important bands for rock and metal. I love when the rhythm section wins and this band is our champion.
WE ARE EXISTENCE!
Man I was so close to seeing these guys open for Haken and Devin Townsend in 2020. But it was the week shutdowns began.
P.S. New Porcupine Tree single out 'Of the New Day' 🤘
I got to see them open for BTBAM back in 2017 I had never heard of them before that. Soo good live.
Same thing happened to me. Literally 2 hours before the show they shut it down. I love DT and Haken, but I was there for The Contortionist.
my favourite Reaction video on CZcams😂😁
This album is so special
The Contortionist is one of my favorite bands! They put on the best live show I have ever seen!. I came across your channel from some Meshuggah and had to see what you thought about these guys. Ya'all are an awesome couple! Keep up the good work!
Check out the song Goliath by Karnivool. They from Australia, kinda tool vibe
the contortionist is one of the best progressive metal bands
Love The Contortionist. Try Primordial Sound and Holomovement.
Sup guys!! My damn volume can’t get any louder. Lol!! Totally digging this!! Thank you!!
So glad you reacted to this band!!!
Integration from this album is one of my favorite songs of recent times. Jazz/Metal/Fusion masterpiece.
finally, I've been waiting for so long to see this band in this channel. Appreciate it so much! Check all the songs in this album if you want to experience some chills yet groovy.
I flew from London to Sweden to see Tesseract and found out that these guys were playing as the supporting act. I was so pumped for the gig, but then got lost on the way to the venue and missed like 90% of The Contortionist's set lol. I was so pissed.
YES this is my favourite modern prog metal album. So many beautiful moments
Puscifer -
“Grand Canyon” (Live from Hall of Feathered Serpents)
“”Personal Prometheus / A Singularity” (Live at Arcosanti)
“Bedlamite” (Live at Arcosanti)
Ahh!! I’m always asleep and miss my notification for y’all >_
Nice nice nice great
Absolutely love these guys.
never seen a vid from you guys before, but contortionist , plus the my own summer intro, made me sub lol
You guy's should check out a band called Textures.
Messengers is my favorite Textures track.
One of the most criminally underrated bands in metal. Loved their whole discography
You guys should react to flourish by them also you'll love it 🤘
such an awesome song. I got idea's for another one from them on the same album...
their masterpiece is "monochrome (pensive)" by faaaaaaar
❤️
Thrive, flourish, oscillator, clairvoyant. All great songs by these guys.
Oscillator is something else ❤
Flourish by them from their Exoplanet live stream is just brain melting. It's on youtube with rest of the set. Higly recommendable
"Our vision's detrimental to progressing". The physical plane is everything to us, and it clouds the ability to think with intuition. Hence, we should look inward more and stop acting and reacting based off what we see and nothing else. An imperceptible amount of existence is beyond this physical plane and what our receptors take in.
Other Contortionist songs to check out - Return to Earth, Reimagined, Early Grave, Follow, Feedback Loop, Contact.
Yess guyssss finally the contortionist
Try EBB & FLOW, won't regret it :)
I wish i could hear this as a first timer once more...
How can a song be this complex and flowing at the same time?
I mean... talent or what?
When 6 well rounded musicians can get together and incorporate a wide array of influences into one sound. The chemistry also needed as a unit to be open minded enough to take criticism well and be flexible as far as writing is concerned. Ya know stuff big record labels doesnt give a shit about.
You guys should check out Tesseract, if you haven't already.
9:08 😂😂 i love this reaction guys. This album is a masterpiece
Cattle Decapitation - The Unerasable Past
Finally!
Contorsionist : Exoplanet I, II, III 👌
It's been a minute and I've looked around, so I'm guessing no one / not to many people have mentioned the band The Dear Hunter to you? Check "The Bitter Suite 1 & 2" from the album Act II: The Meaning Of, & All Things Regarding Ms. Leading (I believe there was a proposed 6 Acts and I think to this point they've finished 5. And in between full albums dedicated to this series they did a ton of other music. Crazy prolific and crazy good. Check it.
So when is the next Contortionist reaction?? Check out Thrive!
Phenomenal band and beautiful album. Highly recommend anything off of Language but Thrive is a good one.
You guys want a real head trip? They have a song called Geocentric Confusion that pretty much covers every genre in metal.
If you want to do more The Contortionist then here are some good options:
Ebb & Flow
The Parable
Thrive
Flourish
you must check out vildhjarta
chump chump chump
Flourist Live at resurrection pls
KATATONIA PLEASE
React to cavelera conspiracy “ultra-violent
DO PRIMORDIAL SOUND
How about some mOReBit Culture. They're working on new stuff and you guys barely touched their best two albums Nija and Redfog. Maybe one of their different sounding ones: Behold.
This band never has a complete song. The intro to Language 1 is so good. And the song is so good for a few minutes before falling off the cliff of mediocrity.
