This George Constanza is a pure hater brother. His body language says it all from the beginning "Not interested in appreciating the music nor the band at all".
Patrick's innate ability to talk over the most interesting and best parts of each song absolutely amazes me. Thank you for having self restraint by comparison, Chris. You'll soon need a long broom to knock down all those Godsmack (and various other) jokes that are just floating around since they won't land on their own.
I get it, it's a reaction channel. But holy shit he went on and on listening to Orion. There was maybe 6 seconds total on Orion where he was actually listening. On an 8 and a half minute song
yeah maaan, that Orion talking over pissed me off so much. I appreciate that in the newer reactions Patrick realizes that he gotta control this word leakage though, and Chrises can help him with that by shutting him the hell up.
in every video i have watched with Patrick reacting to metallica, every single time he is in the middle of saying "i dont really like this" he is nearly almost interrupting himself with "oh this is cool"
@@kevinphares5261 Nothing pre-90s about Metallica was remotely akin to Godsmack. St. Anger came close.. However, he should know that comparing any band to generic Alice In Chains rip-off band Godsmack is worse than comparing it to a bull’s shit from an horse’s arse.
@@riphopfer5816 haha yeah what a crazy band to compare to classic Metallica...I get the feeling that the guy on the left thinks that the guy doing the talking is a bit of an idiot.
Speaking about his favourite band, poison black, with no point. Come on! Orion it’s unbelievable, try to guess when and where the bass is the main guitar, and don’t speak over it
It is so consistent, that makes a lot of sense. It also explains Kirk's extra special solos, since Im sure he felt the need to overcompensate a little bit!
This album was recognized by the library of congress as being culturally and significantly in music. Quite an achievement for 20 yr old kids I'd say.on master Kirk was not happy with many solos. He felt the recording times were rushed. Thus, sometimes he'd say it's not there and was told it's fine next ... Good example on song master there is a solo note played by mistake that was kept in. To this day he says it's hard to duplicate it. Crazy , yet true.
Shut up and listen! I don't trust your commentary if your're constantly talking over the music. That being said, you guys are fun to watch and entertaining. As a Metallica fan I wish you'd listen better, but I still enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!
Patrick, an honest (and hopefully constructive) criticism. Most people who click on this video will skip to the parts where you listen to the actual songs, and they'll expect you to not talk over them. It's much better to take it in as a viewer if you pause the songs, say what you gotta say and unpause the song (in a healthy amount, otherwise it'll be too disruptive). People who watch you listen to their favorites will expect you to give a reaction to the crucial parts of these classic songs, and when you talk over them about mixing details and such, they'll be more likely to press the dislike button because you'll miss them a lot, and it kinda looks disrespectful to the idea of "listening to something for the first time" anyways. Just a heads up, take it however you like, and be safe.
I'd agree, he was busy doing anything but focusing on the music while the song was playing. I know that as a engineer he can pick up stuff easy, and I get it, but to an audience member like me it does come out a bit sloppy or "disrespectful". Like watching a film and talking over it, while arguably still focusing on stuff that is important to someone who is specialized in cinematography or special effects.
I can see Ali Kara's point but I disagree. For some reason it doesn't bother me on this channel. Maybe I've heard the songs a million times or maybe just Patrick's personality, energy, etc but I like the format. What I would suggest is that whatever crucial part of a song is coming up, the person who has knowledge of that in those group listening videos should hold up a "Quiet Please" sign like the "Fade Out" sign. Or even just nudge Patrick or give him a heads up he might want to listen to his next cool part. Just a suggestion but I think you live and learn so adjustments will be made as the channel grows. Loving this stuff!
Guy in the left- “I’ve listened to this album 7 million times and I still love everything about it, shut the f$&k up, this next part is amazing, you have to hear thi……. Chatty Pants on the right- “Butbutbutbutbut………” What I would give for the feeling of hearing an album like this for the first time
Indeed! I saw them on the Damaged Justice tour... first time I saw Metallica live... and the very first thing I said was, "Man! They are playing everything faster than on the albums!" heh Cocaine may have been a fueling factor at the time. ;-)
Holy shit dude. Your ability to be unable to read your mate's body language of "shut up and listen dude" is incredible. I swear to christ you love the sound of your own voice 😂
The intro to Damage inc was all bass with lots of effects and layers. There's also a hidden bass track in the bridge. He used the same exact tone as the orion intro. Once you hear it. You can't unhear it.
The logo changed for Load and Reload and then again for St. Anger before returning to their traditional logo for Death Magnetic and remaining for Hardwired and 72 Seasons.
46:37 target audiences in the 80's: stock car speakers and teenagers with boomboxes and at the best, cheap hi-fi units with two-way ported cabinets that have Q values that would rattle for days on a hard kick. So yeah, bass was dialed back a bit. You'll find that endemic, too. Remember it wasn't until the early-mid 90's when the average guy didn't have to literally hunt for music that would legitimately test a decent sound system, because producers knew that 95% of the playback methods out there would be clipping, clacking, gronking, and honking. They didn't want their work to sound like ass to the vast predominance of music buyers who didn't know of or couldn't afford a decent amp that would drive a good 'stiff' low-Q subwoofer.
I don’t need complex and technical lead guitar, and I LOATHE excessive production. If the band can’t reproduce it live, they shouldn’t do it. What I like is good lyrics, dynamic variation, and melody. One of the things that made *Master Of Puppets* sound so great was James and Kirk’s discovery of the Mesa/Boogie C II amp. They each bought one, and those amps became the sound of the record-and the sound of metal for the next 20 years,.
1:18:31 to call these lyrics "stupid" is something utterly stupid for me: the entire "The thing that should not be" lyrics is based on "The Shadow over Innsmouth" by the great H. P. Lovecraft. You just can't interpret this if You don't know about the Lovecraftian theme.
If I have to know an entire history and lore from an old sci-fi writer in order to understand the deep meaning of a song, then that is a negative to me. But as I said, the message of a dong is not why I listen. I listen for the music and the production!
@@PatrickMusilek But if You want to know what the lyrics are about, then - at least in Metallica's case (and a dozen of metal bands case)- You should look it up. Anyway, great reaction, man, no matter what ;-)
@@PatrickMusilek And, by the way, Metallica are heavily inspired by H. P. Lovecraft: "The call of Ktulu", "The thing that should not be", "Dream no more" are just a few examples of that influence. Look it up, man. It's just great ;-)
dude i know you're joking, but dont ever say Metallica sounds like Godsmack, that is a cardinal sin Metallica is the greatest metal band of all time, period
Thank you guys for doing this. I have watched a lot of videos and interviews with guitarists trying to break down what gear was used and interviews with Flemming Rasmusen ( the producer). James recorded the rhythm parts and mostly he used his Gibson Explorer with Gibson "dirty fingers" pickups. He used Kirks guitar when doing the doubling of the rhythm parts ( to get a slightly different/thicker tone). Amp was Mesa Boogie mark IIC++. (the second plus was a mod done at the factory to change/increase the gain). Cabinets were 300 watt Marshalls with Celestion g12t-75 speakers per Rasmussen's studio notes. A common misconception was that the rhythm parts were Mesa's preamps slaved into the Marshall power amps, but that was only done for Kirk's leads.Some of the tracks were recorded downtuned and slower, then sped up to "normal speed" on tape. (downtuned so that when sped up they were at the correct pitch/ and slower recorded speed so it was easier to get the parts really tight etc...) This also had the effect of making the distortion sound unique/different. Most metal bands used Marshall amps at the time, so using the Mesa's really helped them to sound different. James recorded his parts first, then drums were recorded. When it was Cliff's time to record bass, he didn't like headphones. They set up Cliff in a separate room with big speakers playing the tracks, while his bass cabs were miked up in another room. This allowed him to jump around/get a live feel...Credit to Circle of Tone CZcams channel and various interviews with F. Rasmussen.
Also “EFFFin battery”, on Hardwired, “We’re so EFFed, Shite out of luck!”, or Dyers Eve- “outgrown this EFFFin lullaby”, that’s about all I can think of 😂
I have this album on a 1987 Music For Nations double 45rpm DMM LP release. It sounds excellent. I think at the time they still mixed and mastered with vinyl pressings on mind, as there are certain limitations on that medium.
I can only imagine that pressing is amazing as my Blackened pressing is fuc*ing noice. I mean I think these engineer types are hearing sh*t that just doesn't matter
We talked way too much durring this reaction and our Ride the Lightening reaction. But I learned from that and we did MUCH better on our Justice, Black, 72 Seasons, Kill Em All, Load, and Reload reactions (that is the order we filmed them in). So maybe check those out instead!
The Through the Never movie was filmed for 2 nights in Edmonton, Alberta and 3 nights in Vancouver, BC. I was at the Vancouver shows and the third night wasn't a full-on concert, rather it was Metallica doing pick ups, so many songs were only partially played, while "Fuel" was played twice in its entirety. While they did play "Ride the Lighting" and the chair descended during the song, the tesla coils were not in operation on the third night. The stage was the most awesome setup I've ever seen, though it was created solely for the movie and was only used for about 10-ish warm-up shows in Mexico before going live before the cameras in Edmonton and Vancouver. What's funny about the movie is it implies it took place in BC Place stadium, but it was really filmed at the neighbouring (and much smaller) Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks. You can see the Canucks livery in the halls, as well. They did, however, play BC Place on their Hardwired tour, but the sound at BC Place is terrible and the shows are always a better experience at Rogers Arena.
@@PatrickMusilek The original mix is BAD. IIRC bad enough for the official metallica channel's uploads of it to be a better-mixed version without telling you. The kicks and snares on the original sound like the tracks got sent through a microwave or something. I do like the music, at least.
I've always been more partial to Ride the Lightning, but this made me realize how much this album improved in terms of mixing and song arrangements. Which makes sense because it was their second album with the same producer and everybody had learned a lot. I think some of the meandering arrangements from Ride were a stepping stone, they have lots of indulgent bits on Master but fewer "repeat a riff 8 times" parts and they bring back intro riffs to tie songs together.
Picture it---- 14 year old long haired rock and roll boy. Hanging with the older kids, Rolling thru downtown Ann Arbor stoned out of his mind. This album is blasting out of the tape deck. Windows down freak flag high rock and roll will never die!
I get that you guys get mad at Patrick because he talks during the best parts but I think he doesn't see this album as some of us do, he listens to the music and the production as a whole. So maybe a cool bridge or guitar part isn't that interesting to him as it is to us. The "only 7 are real songs" comment was terrible though lol That being said, these videos are awesome!
Lars drum tech wore rubber gloves and caught the cymbsls for him in the studio. Well , on "Justice" anyway. He also records the drums in sections of 2 minutes or so. Then they punch him back in. One more interesting fact about M.O.P. they recorded it tuned down and slower. Then sped it up to 440. Thats how it maintains it tightness , speed and overall punch
"Neither can Metallica". Well, once upon a time, they played Puppets faster live than on the record. Dunno if Chris is talking about 2023 Metallica or what, but its not the first time ive heard him slander them live.
Yes, Master Of Puppets is a concept album. The theme of this album is all sorts of oppression, control and manipulation. While the master of puppets is the drug on the song Master Of Puppets, here (when you asked, Disposable Heroes) it´s the military, on Leper Messiah it´s the televangelist (or any other religious guru, if you will), on Sanitarium the psychiatrist, on Battery the anger or maybe the inner animal, on The Thing That Should Not Be, it´s a Lovecraftian demonic entity - Damage Inc might be the only song which could have fit on the first record lyricwise, so it falls a bit out of the line, just as Orion, by which it is seperated from the other lyric containing songs. It might also be interpreted as a reprise of the first track, being controlled by rage, but maybe also the process of breaking free from the oppressive system, (as a reference to the finale of Sanitarium) what would both make sense.
I see Damage Inc more as a metaphoric way to talk about abusive companies, who don’t care about you, they don’t care if you are happy or not, just do what they say, and even if you don’t or you can’t they just throw you away and get another people to do your job “Blood will follow blood” “We chew and spit you out” You can’t tell anyone about the abuse, no one’s gonna care and you could face severe consequences “Living on your knees, conformity, or dying on your feet for honesty” Rest of the song isn’t that clear and may give to diverse interpretations, but that’s my take overall (English not my first language)
Patrick talks about all these weird things he is hearing on first listen that I've never heard after 200 listens but talks over the end of leper messiah where they say "yeah thats it" and misses it completely. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Patrick has a superpower of talking over the most important and integral parts of Metallica songs.
James records basically EVERYTHING and Kirk pretty much only records the solo’s and some of the separate lead stuff but all main riffs and rhythm is all James. Also MOP (the song) was recorded at a slower tempo and de-tuned for the sole purpose of speeding it up to make it sound ridiculously tight at that speed. That’s why it’s sliiiightly out of tune and it’s basically impossible for anyone covering the song on guitar to play it as tight as it is on the album unless they do the same thing
@@jwasikowski1 And on St. Anger, of course, else he wouldn't be on that album. I believe he returned to doing (nearly) only leads with Death Magnetic and onward. From watching the making-of docs, a lot of the time it seems the decision of what parts Kirk will play on the record has to do with wanting his guitar TONE to fill out the mix.
The bad word line Damage INC is "Fuck it all and fucking no regrets", the sound in the Orion intro is Bass guitar recorded from a Leslie rotating speaker in a cabinet.
i hate reactors that are heavily into the music like know guitar and insturments and audio and stuff cuz they always wanna talk insted of the suiprised just raw reaction just shut up and listen pleaseee 😭
Middle part of Orion... Cliff, James and Kirk making magic... This guy talking no sense stuff over it. I think you should keep in silence to learn how to make one of the greatest albums of all time.
Hate to be that guy. But please dude. Orion mid section with something epic happening and you talk through it. I'd even understand if you were talking about something in the music, but you kept on going about random irrelevant stuff. Love the channel, but take it as constructive criticism. There's a time and place for all that talk. The intent for the viewer is also to see someone's face light up when they listen to it for the first time. Keep a notebook with you, jot down short hand points and let's discuss them in detail after the song is over. Cheers.
How the fuck does anything on this album sound like Godsmack? Also, as a production nerd, how can you not tell the difference between organ and bass guitar?
Oh my gosh! I checked yesterday and I was at 971! It's only been going up by a few a day! WOOHOO! I was thinking about doing a video for 1000 subscribers where I talked about myself and some of the projects I have worked on! I can also use that as my "welcome to my channel" video that pops up when someone clicks on my page...
Based on the kind of things you guys seem to like I recommend checking out Glow On by Turnstile! I would love to y’all’s reaction and commentary on that record.
This is their first album using the mesa boogie mark llc+ amps. James had his modded marahall from rtl stolen and kirk called him to try out the boogie amps. Theyve been playing thwm ever since. The rythym tone on this album made mesa boogie a household name in metal.
Can you explain why Metallica sucks live? I think sound pretty good for the most part. Try listening to them live Seattle 89. The Black Album era concerts are pretty good too I thought. I’m just confused.
@@klmrk9961 lyrics arent very important to me that is true, but vocals are essential! It's one of the reasons I enjoy listening to music in languages I don't speak.
This is 2 hrs 34 mins of Chris wishing Patrick would stop talking and just listen to the damn album.
amen brother
No kidding
Jajaja literal
That was the worst comment ever “ You make 8 songs and only 7 are real songs”. Shut up and listen and let the music take you on the journey.
That annoyed the fuck out of me

The original of course, not the remaster. They only accept the real original versions.
To be fair, TTTSNB solo was made in 30 minutes and was an amazing solo
Not to be a hater but, just talks about another band all over the top of one of the best metallica instrumentals

1:53:26 “I know I’m not paying attention to this & I should be. So I will starting right now.”
Continues to talk 13 seconds later 😂
TALK AFTERRRRR YOU HEAR THE SONG!! THEN GO BACK AND LISTEN TO THE PARTS YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!
Disposable heroes feels like one of the earliest tracks. It sounds very RTL more than MOP
According to Bob Rock, Kirk didn't start recording rhythm guitars until the load/ reload era
Got this album long long time ago.i was only 17 years old.miss the ol days long hair and lots of beers lol
during Orion harmony he just talks and talks and talks
Death Magnetic won the loudness war
Not having heard it, I would be shocked if it was more compressed than In This Moments's "A Star Crossed Wasteland"!
@@PatrickMusilek The original mix is BAD. IIRC bad enough for the official metallica channel's uploads of it to be a better-mixed version without telling you. The kicks and snares on the original sound like the tracks got sent through a microwave or something.
I do like the music, at least.
Yes, Death Magnetic is brick walled. Compressed so much that the audio waves look like a brick wall. Barely any difference between quiet and loud.
I'm with Chris. Battery is my favorite Metallica song of all time. It's crazy how brutal it is and in standard tuning!
i wish i could mute that guy
I've always been more partial to Ride the Lightning, but this made me realize how much this album improved in terms of mixing and song arrangements. Which makes sense because it was their second album with the same producer and everybody had learned a lot. I think some of the meandering arrangements from Ride were a stepping stone, they have lots of indulgent bits on Master but fewer "repeat a riff 8 times" parts and they bring back intro riffs to tie songs together.
Picture it---- 14 year old long haired rock and roll boy. Hanging with the older kids, Rolling thru downtown Ann Arbor stoned out of his mind. This album is blasting out of the tape deck. Windows down freak flag high rock and roll will never die!
Need to read some H.P Lovecraft to understand the thing that should not be.
I get that you guys get mad at Patrick because he talks during the best parts but I think he doesn't see this album as some of us do, he listens to the music and the production as a whole. So maybe a cool bridge or guitar part isn't that interesting to him as it is to us. The "only 7 are real songs" comment was terrible though lol
That being said, these videos are awesome!
Battery 52:05
Lars drum tech wore rubber gloves and caught the cymbsls for him in the studio. Well , on "Justice" anyway. He also records the drums in sections of 2 minutes or so. Then they punch him back in. One more interesting fact about M.O.P. they recorded it tuned down and slower. Then sped it up to 440. Thats how it maintains it tightness , speed and overall punch
It’s so cool watching you sound guys talk about these iconic albums we all grew on! 🤘🤘
Jesus F#### Christ on a bike dude. Just …chill. This is a listening event.
"Neither can Metallica". Well, once upon a time, they played Puppets faster live than on the record. Dunno if Chris is talking about 2023 Metallica or what, but its not the first time ive heard him slander them live.
Yes, Master Of Puppets is a concept album. The theme of this album is all sorts of oppression, control and manipulation. While the master of puppets is the drug on the song Master Of Puppets, here (when you asked, Disposable Heroes) it´s the military, on Leper Messiah it´s the televangelist (or any other religious guru, if you will), on Sanitarium the psychiatrist, on Battery the anger or maybe the inner animal, on The Thing That Should Not Be, it´s a Lovecraftian demonic entity -
Damage Inc might be the only song which could have fit on the first record lyricwise, so it falls a bit out of the line, just as Orion, by which it is seperated from the other lyric containing songs. It might also be interpreted as a reprise of the first track, being controlled by rage, but maybe also the process of breaking free from the oppressive system, (as a reference to the finale of Sanitarium) what would both make sense.
Oh, great information!
I see Damage Inc more as a metaphoric way to talk about abusive companies, who don’t care about you, they don’t care if you are happy or not, just do what they say, and even if you don’t or you can’t they just throw you away and get another people to do your job “Blood will follow blood” “We chew and spit you out”
You can’t tell anyone about the abuse, no one’s gonna care and you could face severe consequences “Living on your knees, conformity, or dying on your feet for honesty”
Rest of the song isn’t that clear and may give to diverse interpretations, but that’s my take overall
(English not my first language)
@@Aaron-ts4ym ah ok, interesting! Maybe I should have a look on these lyrics again
And he also said he didn't like call of khtulu how can you say such blasphemy
I would call the middle of Puppets an "interlude" which sounds a lot like a classical piece. Love it.
Patrick talks about all these weird things he is hearing on first listen that I've never heard after 200 listens but talks over the end of leper messiah where they say "yeah thats it" and misses it completely. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Patrick has a superpower of talking over the most important and integral parts of Metallica songs.
The intro to damage inc is also bass
Patrick got that ADHD lmao.
James records basically EVERYTHING and Kirk pretty much only records the solo’s and some of the separate lead stuff but all main riffs and rhythm is all James. Also MOP (the song) was recorded at a slower tempo and de-tuned for the sole purpose of speeding it up to make it sound ridiculously tight at that speed. That’s why it’s sliiiightly out of tune and it’s basically impossible for anyone covering the song on guitar to play it as tight as it is on the album unless they do the same thing
There are exceptions but like 90% of what you hear outside of solo’s are James
I love recording tricks like that!
Kirk started to play rhythm on the record on load and reload.
@@jwasikowski1 And on St. Anger, of course, else he wouldn't be on that album. I believe he returned to doing (nearly) only leads with Death Magnetic and onward. From watching the making-of docs, a lot of the time it seems the decision of what parts Kirk will play on the record has to do with wanting his guitar TONE to fill out the mix.
"How many things is the bass doing in this song?" (Regarding Orion)
Yes. The answer is yes.
Who the fuck has never heard this???
The bad word line Damage INC is "Fuck it all and fucking no regrets", the sound in the Orion intro is Bass guitar recorded from a Leslie rotating speaker in a cabinet.
Is there booze in those drinks? I feel like he talks more towards the end lol
You can't talk about Poisonblack in that Orion section...come on man...
“The lyrics are kinda stupid”. If that’s the case, then Bad bunny “sings” stupider stuff, dude. At least, I appreciate your honest opinion about it.
i hate reactors that are heavily into the music like know guitar and insturments and audio and stuff cuz they always wanna talk insted of the suiprised just raw reaction just shut up and listen pleaseee 😭
Bro. Give him a bong
Damage Inc has a line that says ‘fuck it all and fucking no regrets’…..so yes there’s a naughty word or two.
Intro to Orion is bass guitar..not an organ
Middle part of Orion... Cliff, James and Kirk making magic... This guy talking no sense stuff over it. I think you should keep in silence to learn how to make one of the greatest albums of all time.
Hate to be that guy. But please dude. Orion mid section with something epic happening and you talk through it. I'd even understand if you were talking about something in the music, but you kept on going about random irrelevant stuff. Love the channel, but take it as constructive criticism.
There's a time and place for all that talk. The intent for the viewer is also to see someone's face light up when they listen to it for the first time. Keep a notebook with you, jot down short hand points and let's discuss them in detail after the song is over. Cheers.
I agree 100%! I want to do a re-listen to Orion sometime!
Imagine talking about another band while the Orion interlude is playing. Get a grip.
1:47:05 The cheek to shush the man after all your guff 🤦🏼♂️ Keep er lit!
Master of Puppets isn't a song. It's a COMPOSITION.
bros name is just patrick music expects us not to notice
Rhythms and harmony leads etc. are 100% James on the first five albums I think
Yes I believe Load was the stopping point until Death Magnetic!
He needs his mouth taped shut so he can actually hear the music
How the fuck does anything on this album sound like Godsmack?
Also, as a production nerd, how can you not tell the difference between organ and bass guitar?
Congrats on 1k Patrick+Co...Recently subscribed and loving these videos
Oh my gosh! I checked yesterday and I was at 971! It's only been going up by a few a day!
WOOHOO!
I was thinking about doing a video for 1000 subscribers where I talked about myself and some of the projects I have worked on! I can also use that as my "welcome to my channel" video that pops up when someone clicks on my page...
@Patrick Musilek thats would be perspective wisdom that we could all definitely learn from. Do it!!
This is a reaction? Not
Talking all over the Orien bridge about another band.
Can you please save your comments till the end of the song? Your LITERALLY talking over the best parts of each song
I love that you heard Orion and immediately knew it was organ, a ton of people believe it is cliff Burton but it is 100% a hammond b3 organ
Everything you like about Kirk’s lead tone is from the Mesa Boogie c+ amps
Based on the kind of things you guys seem to like I recommend checking out Glow On by Turnstile! I would love to y’all’s reaction and commentary on that record.
This is their first album using the mesa boogie mark llc+ amps. James had his modded marahall from rtl stolen and kirk called him to try out the boogie amps. Theyve been playing thwm ever since. The rythym tone on this album made mesa boogie a household name in metal.
Can you explain why Metallica sucks live? I think sound pretty good for the most part. Try listening to them live Seattle 89. The Black Album era concerts are pretty good too I thought. I’m just confused.
It's a nonsense opinion
Took back the like. Dude talked way too much over the best parts.
Thanks for giving it a shot!
You should go to a concert with him.
dude new album or not I'm always up for a good Metallica video
Heck yeah! And we still have Kill Em All, Load, Reload, St Anger, Death Magnetic, and Hardwired coming up eventually!
Dude, you just kept talking over the best part of Orion...
Yeah I know! Upon listening back while editing I really liked it, but instrumental songs have to fight real hard to keep my attention!
@@PatrickMusilek You don't really seem to pay attention to the lyrics when there are some though.
@@klmrk9961 lyrics arent very important to me that is true, but vocals are essential! It's one of the reasons I enjoy listening to music in languages I don't speak.
