That track means so much to me... My interpretation is connected to my deceased mother. Me and my sister have been having a hard time taking it in. It literally hurts every time we listen to it... Even though I think it wasn't the original intention from the artists. But I'm glad someone singled the song out. All the best my friend.
@@ICanHasMyUsernamemy intention of the song is me from the past telling my future self how much i wanted myself to succeed but i threw it all away. i was so blind and i still don’t know where i’m going but tracks like this make me sit and think for a long while.
"Burden" hooked me on first listen and has grown on me immensely, it's now my favourite track of them all, but... The whole album is amazing. Natural Disaster.. Legion.. Tender.. War of Being.. all irresistible. The concept is also interesting and worth diving into. No matter how many other bands and discographies I listen to (and having been a reviewer, that is alot..) Tesseract is still my absolute favourite band. No other band can keep my attention for as many years as they have done with each release. 🤘🤘
Love this album so much, ive always been a tesseract fan for the instrumentals first but man has Dan outdone himself on this record, and hes my favorite thing about this album which is very different for me but its all so well done, i really feel like the guys wrote this album with dans vocals on the forefront for the direction of this one and im so happy with it, so many memorable vocal moments and the instrumentals just compliment him so well. Also LOVE the lead work Acle is doing throughout its all so beautiful and Jays drumming is just muah chefs kiss. Its hard to pick a favorite but to me its a big 4 way tie tie between Natural Disaster, Tender, War of Being, and Sacrifice. But to me every song is amazing this album really is a masterpiece in my eyes and shows how much the band has matured over the years
This album is very much a mix of everything, war of being has a one feel to it, there are bits of Polaris in most of the Melodies, but some big grooves that sound similar to sonder to me Very good album
I haven't listen to your reaction yet, but, I already know I'll hear and see the kind of things that make me feel connected to other humans in most of the ways that count. Thank you Rachelle.
I absolutely loved this album. I thought nothing would come close to Sleep Token this year, but this album is just wonderful. I get chills every time I hear Legion and Sacrifice, mostly because of Dan, who sound as good as he’s ever sounded in any of his works.
It's been a great year of music. Can we at least pretend that Sleep Token takes the prize this year? This album . . . . wow. But Sleep Token did something to me . . .
I would agree. However, Haken released Fauna, which is just as brilliant but I prefer Haken's style more. Also, Moon safari's Himlabacken Vol. 2 released yesterday. Prog Rock epicness!
Legion has to be my song of the year! False Meridian by Invent Animate is up there as well. This album is a masterpiece what a journey it takes you on. I'm seeing them with some friends in Montreal this month can't wait! \m/
@@Robfnord I kid u not Invent Animate has to be the the greatest metalcore band out there, right up there with Currents. TesseracT is more Prog but man they still up there with this one. Death We Seek and Heavener now have competition for album of the year.
Have had a very hard time NOT listening to this album. But, I must highly encourage you to hear Earthside "Let the Truth Speak". Daniel from Tesseract guest vocals on that track. It is one of the most epic and beautiful rock/metal songs I have ever experienced.
Patiently impatiently waiting for this video drop 😂 Great video and thoughts. I love how they let you marinate in grooves, almost too long but they change it up just in time i feel. Sacrifice is sonic perfection imo, Legion is creeping to tie with Sacrifice for me. Cannot wait to see them, im flying to another province to see their show, last i saw them was 2018, chasing the feeling of having the Smile riff tones fill the room as i was fully immersed in that light show. Was truely something special.
so glad to re-enjoy the album with you it make me feel like if is the first time!! thanks to you Rachelle!! ..that disconnection you had surely will fade out the more you listening to this album!! it goes from to good to perfect!! can you do a re visit to know how this album grown on you? ;D
thank you for watching! i don’t see myself doing a follow up video for this, no. i haven’t even made a follow up video for my AotY. i’ll do my end of the year videos like i usually do, but i’m honestly not sure that this will make the cut for me with releases like Tapestry, Johnny Booth and Fromjoy landing so much higher than i expected them to this year and Heavener being near impossible to be replaced as my AotY.
Thanks for the album review Rachelle! I like what you have to say. I'm not a fan of hardcore metal screaming / growling vocals... can't listen to it. In the context of Tesseract's music, Dan's pitched screams make sense to me. He uses the technique to evoke such a visceral emotional response when contrasted with his beautiful vocals and insane range. I love all the tunes for different reasons but this is the first Tesseract album that has repeatedly brought me to tears. Not an easy feat for a so-called "Prog Metal" band. Kudos to Tesseract! Kudos to you for another insightful review!
So what's your favourite track, Rachelle? My favs are all of them. Number 1 is Tender/Echoes/Sirens/Burden i cant... The least is natural disaster and Legion. I feel guilty. But yeah hahaha

Tender is such a great track. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
thank you for watching! 💙

I feel exactly the same
Burden is too damn good. I cannot stop listening to it.
Burden’s groove had me good, and sacrifice just a perfect closing to an album. The album is 🔥🔥🔥
I really like every song on this album. There's some truly great section in all of them.
Tender and Legion are my favorites, that said the album is a complete banger.
What an amazing album this is!
Sacrifice is my Fav song on that album. The CHORUS is so powerful!
i checked hundred times. theres no track called 'Scarified' 🥲
@@AngkasaRentung I mispronounced it lol it’s called Sacrifice. On the new album!
Love this album so much, ive always been a tesseract fan for the instrumentals first but man has Dan outdone himself on this record, and hes my favorite thing about this album which is very different for me but its all so well done, i really feel like the guys wrote this album with dans vocals on the forefront for the direction of this one and im so happy with it, so many memorable vocal moments and the instrumentals just compliment him so well.

Burden is probably my favorite. It juts has such a damn good groove to it I cant get enough of it.
This album is very much a mix of everything, war of being has a one feel to it, there are bits of Polaris in most of the Melodies, but some big grooves that sound similar to sonder to me
Very good album
Legion is my favorite song of all time, Tender and Sacrifice are 2nd favorite from this album
Now it's time to listen to One xD
Love this album and love your reaction thank you
thank you for watching! 💙
This album has fundamentally changed me as a person
I haven't listen to your reaction yet, but, I already know I'll hear and see the kind of things that make me feel connected to other humans in most of the ways that count. Thank you Rachelle.
Edit: great reaction. Shout-out to Dan indeed.
thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to watch! 💙

Can we at least pretend that Sleep Token takes the prize this year?
This album . . . . wow.
But Sleep Token did something to me . . .
Your eyes @ 31:42 realizing that it’s just a sad song.
Tesseract I feel like is a good gateway metal band.
Sacrifice made me cry, what a song…
Same here. The whole album is just so 🥺
Such an amazing album. Maybe my favorite of this year.
I would agree. However, Haken released Fauna, which is just as brilliant but I prefer Haken's style more. Also, Moon safari's Himlabacken Vol. 2 released yesterday. Prog Rock epicness!
Legion tho omg still can’t get over it! ❤️ album is 10/10 for me
Legion has to be my song of the year! False Meridian by Invent Animate is up there as well. This album is a masterpiece what a journey it takes you on. I'm seeing them with some friends in Montreal this month can't wait! \m/
Never heard of invent animate but if their track is half as good as legion I better check them out thanks!
@@Robfnord I kid u not Invent Animate has to be the the greatest metalcore band out there, right up there with Currents. TesseracT is more Prog but man they still up there with this one. Death We Seek and Heavener now have competition for album of the year.
So much stank face. Amazing album.
this album is bonkers

i’ve already heard it!
@@RachelleReacts ❤️ no reaction though? If you did one and it's on your patreon I'll join just to hear it... Lol
nope, no reaction! sorry!
Patiently impatiently waiting for this video drop 😂

I'm so in love with this record, Legion and Sacrifice are my favs but the whole album stand out as a whole and it was an incredible experience
They made another masterpiece. That’s all they ever make. God I wish they would just make ONE bad song/album. Nope. Not one.
Good reaction, from Argentina
This album kicked so much ass! I loved loved loved Sacrifice!
Thanks for the album review Rachelle! I like what you have to say. I'm not a fan of hardcore metal screaming / growling vocals... can't listen to it.

Well said
I love this album!
Does Tesseract have the best vocalist in the game atm?? Every song he is brilliant and showed so much range and diversity?
I would pay good hard money to have a full altered state reaction on this channel, lmao. Great reaction, great album.
That groovy ambient section in sacrifice reminds me a LOT of uneven structures
So what's your favourite track, Rachelle? My favs are all of them. Number 1 is Tender/Echoes/Sirens/Burden i cant... The least is natural disaster and Legion. I feel guilty. But yeah hahaha
I would say that The Grey or Sacrifice would probably be favorites for me!
