My most favourite song from this album is “Giants”. I can’t scream my lungs out where I live without alerting the neighbours so it’s very cathartic when Dan screams. It’s like he screams out my pain *for* me, I’m grateful for that. I love all of the songs in this album and I listen them all on repeat ❤️
I thought this album was a step up from Origins. It's interesting to hear other peoples' opinion of the songs because I personally love Giants and Dull Knives. Great review!
when i first saw this, I was wondering why you only had a few views and subscribers when you had such high-quality content. Then I realized it's your first video. I hope you keep growing, and I loved watching this video and I look forward to more content. Dull knives, Giants, Easy Come Easy Go, and My Life are my favorites
Giants has definitely grown on me a lot since doing this review! While the screaming definitely scares people that I share the song with, after the first few times of hearing it, I was able to get over how it sounded and saw the positive effect its got on the emotion of the song.
I've been an ID fan for 8 years now and I think this is by far the most honest review of imagine dragons I've ever seen (including reacts from fanboys and haters) I know music taste and opinions in general are really personal and relative but it's absurd the amount of hate they get for no reason. People just love to trash anything they put out. weird obsession. Im a fan that loves the entirety of this album and honestly if you actually put some songs in the asscheek tier I would still love this review because you actually cared about listening to it open minded, so thank you! really great video!
Thank you for the kind comment! I agree that ID gets a bunch of hate for no reason and it sucks to see people not at least give their newer stuff a try.
Wrecked is very special to me, it reminds me of last September, when my cousin passed away, we were getting close and he was really nice. I miss him from time to time. Tried to be manly about it and I broke when I seen the last video he was in. This song reminds me of him, it hits just right in the feels. Giants and Dull Knives are also favorites on this album, they are both catchy.
As someone who saw the Mercury Tour in concert, I can confirm that the piano build up from the opener (My Life) is absolutely incredible. Best show I've ever seen.
This man predicted the future of The Mercury Tour because he said “My Life would be a good open song with the piano and then boom 💥“ I did she Imagine Dragons live at Shoreline Amphitheater in CA and it did start with My Life song.
Dan really brings the true emotions he wants to convey through his voice. Btw their lyrics are also way much better than most of the pop rock songs coming nowadays.
Giants is my favorite song of all time! Possibly the best song for me out of all the Dragons. I really like the contrasts in this song, everything changes quickly. She expresses those emotions that sometimes you can not splash out. It is a masterpiece
Here's my ratings for my favorite songs of this decent album. Dull Knives 9.4 Giants 8.7 #1 8.3 Easy Come Easy Go 8.1 Wrecked 8.1 Monday 7.2 My Life 7 Lonely 6.7 No time for toxic people 6.5 Cutthroat 6.4 Follow you 6.3 And actually my favorite ID song is Smoke and Mirrors with a 9.8 rating.
Looking forward to the album tier list, and generally the other ones coming up! Great content, I think this is an amazing album, there really aren't any songs I dislike in it. Keep the great work up, you earned yourself a sub :)
The screaming in Giants has some major emotion behind it, but there is actually a "pitch" to screaming and it's REALLY off pitch in it which makes it kind of awful to listen to, which is a shame because the rest of the song is really good, especially that second half of the chorus. Dull Knives I think approaches it a lot better, he hits the notes really well, the head voice note in the chorus is intended for emotion again but it's actually ON PITCH unlike Giants lol, the distorted Dull Knives before that line was up at like C#5 which is insane to get with that much power anyway which is why there was breaking towards the end of the note. Cutthroat I personally think is where his yell/distortion/screaming was the best done, chorus hit hard. I really hope they continue to make songs with heavily distorted vocals but PLEASE do NOT release more songs that have screaming that is so far from the right pitch like in Giants.... ew.
This is a really interesting comment! I definitely don't know anything about singing and definitely cannot sing to save my life, so I definitely applaud Dan and the rest of ID for trying something new.
Giants is supposed to be a parallel for withdrawal and addiction. I would expect the vocals to be just as off key as the subject of the song is feeling. It's just my two cents :)
Has anyone considered that the off pitch may have been intentional to make it look like so? I mean the song literally deals with a bit of distortion itself. I enjoyed his screaming because I think it fits in with the theme of the song and of course its my top 2 from the album so I may be biased. Dull knives part tho, I agree it sounds a little uncomfortable, but overall its still a great one. Cutthroat is on spot, agreed again.
my fav is definitely dull knives, drive me tears during the hardest days and I've been struggling with mental health issues so I can really relate with the song, the lyrics, the "screams" so much
I find it hilarious looking at this now after a long time and them actually opening their concerts with My Life and you literally spoke about how awesome that would be
I think I like ID, not because of the songs individually (although I like most of them really much), but of all the differences between them. You've got a song for every mood, not only with words, but different sound usages
So it's been 10 months and my opinions have changed a bit. I can listen to cutthroat and honestly like it now. I still think lonely is my favorite. I used to hate giants, upon rewatching this I realized I like the beginning until he maxes out the mic. I also still hate it's okay
This album feels alot more cohesive then people say. In fact, all Imagine Dragons albums do. People like to go on and on about how there’s little tying the songs together and yada-yada, but I can really hear something similar about songs in each album. Not sure what exactly, but I can instantly tell if a song aounds more Evolvly or Smoke + Mirrory just from listening.
giants to me is one of the best, bc giants to me that scream isnt ment to be like a metal or metalcore scream. its more like pure pain bc if youve been pushed to the point to where all you can do is scream to get it out thats what happens
I’ve found that a lot of ID songs grow on me as I listen to them more. Some people just don’t give songs a fair shake and are not very open minded to music they don’t typically listen to. Awesome video!
Great video! A little bit butthurt about “Dancing in the dark” being asscheeks as its was one of my favs out of evolve. Absolutely hated cutthroat at first but its slowly grown on me. Definitely a nice change with this album. I do miss the old stuff though, but they have to change with the times!
I'm sorry I had to let you down with DITD, I gave it a fair chance during my Evolve tier list! 😂 This album definitely was a nice change and I'm just glad that they were able to put something out for all of us to enjoy.
I actually really enjoyed your ENTIRE review man. Great job and I agree with most of your rates. This is probably one of my FAVORITE Imagine Dragons album from start to finish!
I enjoyed your video, you have a nice setup and mind for reviews. Looking forward to seeing more from you. However, I'd say that you maybe of the group that pretty much can't stand experimentals in terms of screaming into the song structure. But I believe Dans screaming is not as bad as people make it out to be. He's done it before in loud voices like in Rise Up, Sucker for Pain, Original Loser, Natural, I'm So Sorry and they were all good. Even this album, Giants is my absolute favorite and I believe the screaming bridge adds to that through a thematic window. Dull Knives is basically the rock everyone expects from ID but then complains because of a little screaming which definitely doesn’t sound bad- its great imo. And Cutthroat is like the different thing they try in every album and this time only it was perfect with the piano base line, unique outro and an overall dark theme. Other than that, I can see where you’re coming from. Kudos on the good work.
I actually really like #1 not that I have a lack of confidence but because it reminds me of when I, as a student, do everything late but still manage to do a somewhat good job (gaming gets into everything dude).Then I saw my university reports or whatever it's called and I was #1 in ranking. Nothing is impossible, you just try. And that song just makes me keep this up, looking forward to what's next 2021-2022.
My top 5 songs 1: wrecked 2: giants 3: dull knives 4: my life 5: no time for toxic people Wrecked has been my favorite ever since it came out and it's a really important song to me. Giants at first wasn't really my favorite when the album first came out but overtime it grew on me the more I listened to it and now it's one of my favorites, giants and dull knives gives me chills everytime time I listen to it. I personally really like "it's ok" and "cutthroat", it's okay is a song I really needed after going through hard times and cutthroat just sounds cool to me.
I loved the whole album, even the controversial one Cutthroat, and that's just my opinion. I guess I'm a big fanboy of them, so most if not all songs are my instant favorites. I loved the believer album and dancing in the dark, and I know it's not for everyone.
I’ll be honest, I also thought Lonely was average when I first heard it. But I’ve grown to love it, and learning the verses is a fun ride in and of itself.
I wasn’t sure about all the songs at first but they really grew on me. Especially, One Day that grew on me the more times I listened to it. Maybe you could do another video reranking them after listening to them a couple of times
I definitely have considered it! We did a tier list including every Imagine Dragons song last weekend and after listening to Mercury again, those songs have raised up on that tier list.
I'm a year late, but whatever. I love listening to people rating some of my favorite music, and Imagine Dragons is probably my favorite band these days. It's funny you put Follow You up top, because that one didn't really hit me until I heard the song live. That's when I really started to not skip it when it came on. My Life, Wrecked, Monday, absolutely up there as well, so I agree, a lot of those get me moving like crazy. Lonely is my jam though, and they did actually play it live when I saw them last summer. I love that song so much, it's a bop in the car no doubt. Easy Come Easy Go, No Time For Toxic People and Cutthroat are probably those that I would put higher. The first two because I just like the songs, especially Easy Come Easy Come is genuinelly just chill while No Time For Toxic People gets me in a really good mood. I wasn't that big of a fan of Cutthroat in the beginning, but I use it when I'm at the gym, and it really pumps me up. I would otherwise say I agree with the list.
When it’s okay was playing it skips that part where it says “I don’t want this body, I don’t want this voice, I don’t want to be but I guess I have no choice”
I'm a huge Imagine Dragons fan and I honestly respect your opinions and tier listing for the songs on their new album. I really like your album review and I've subscribed to your channel too. If I were to do a tier list , there will not be any bad songs in this album. But here's my tierlist for their new album below. 🔥 - Dull Knives , Follow You , Monday A - My Life , One Day , Lonely , No Time For Toxic People , #1 B - It's Ok , Wrecked , Easy Come Easy Go C - Cutthroat , Giants
The video is good quality but your tier system is absolutely terrible. Firstly, Giants and Dull Knives are BETTER than Radioactive, and secondly, how is Cutthroat average??
I think you give good reasons for all of your opinions, and I respect that alot. But some of my personal takes are that I LOVE "Cutthroat", "Dull Knives", "One day", and I think "It's Ok" should be higher, but not A tier. And I really can't listen to "Follow You", because I personally don't like the whole "I'll follow yoou-ou-ou", and the repetitions like "You know I got your number, number all night" thing. All in all, great video and great arguments for the most part! Keep up the great work
You can definitely tell that Follow You was in a way, designed to specifically be a single because of the song structure and repetition. Thanks for the kind comment!
You need to hear It’s Okay live, it change your mind very quickly, i didn’t loved it either until I saw them two weekends ago ❤️ My favorites are obviously Wrecked and Follow You, Cutthroat and Dull Knives are so crazy too (actually my favorite and saddest lyrics- Cutthroat is about depresión and Dull Knives about his health condition- you can hear his pain in both songs)
All of these songs make me remember my grandma who died 2 years ago from cancer and my moms best friend (basically family) has not long to live from cancer. Like a couple months to a year. She also has 3 kids and they all have severe autism
Great review of the album. I agree with you that “Follow You” is a bop. I also really like “Giants” but the screaming does throw me off. I think the screaming is just something that the ear might have to get used to. I think a lot of songs from this album have good vibes, but my least favorite songs are Lonely, #1, and Cutthroat. Unfortunately, every time I hear “Cutthroat” I get anxiety.
I agree, I think some songs from other artists “does the screaming right”, but I don’t know that I’ve heard anything like what I’ve heard from those few songs on Mercury Act 1. The first time I heard Cutthroat, I too got a bit anxious. Thanks for the nice comment!
@@TomTwentyTwo i was talking to marcus peterson who thinks lonely is the worst, but i like your opinion, i think lonely, easy come easy go, and giants are the best, and like both of you i don't like the screaming either.
Hi from France! I found this album from Imagine Dragons incredible, I'm quite sad about your opinion about Giants because it really is one of my favorites but at the same time I can understand this opinion of yours. An album from Imagine Dragons that you could maybe like if you don't know it yet is "Deep Cuts" it isn't an "official album" but it is really amazing. For a first video it's a very good one, and I will for sure continue to watch you listen to music. Thank you for this great video! 😁
Thank you very much! And don't worry, last weekend, we made a tier list of every Imagine Dragons song (including Deep Cuts), and Mercury songs were definitely ranked higher the second time around.
Can I point out how everyone hates Monday and yet “You are my Monday, you’re the best day of the week” There was a skip in “It’s Ok,” and that’s not ok.
Just a random message because I think Cutthroat is a powerful song So it's July of 2021, the pandemic is still going on and classes are online. I have this final exam of physics but my teacher is so lazy to teach us anything so he just gave us exercises and weird presentations to study and pass the exam, I needed to pass it because it was important and because I had failed his previous test for the first time in all my life. I've always had good grades so failing the previous exam made my parents get super angry and strict towards me so I HAD to pass the exam. Studying physics was hard, not because of the subject but the teacher since I was so angry at him for not teaching us well, so I remember I used to play this song over and over and oof, it was huge motivation, it made stuff be easier to study and get over my anger towards the teacher. Playing the song before I started the exam gave me a lot of courage to nail the exam and so did I and now when I have to deal with difficult stuff at school or with people, I play that song and I feel powerful and like I have the courage to get over it so it's actually nice.
I think this was a great album review , I feel like you really hit the nail on the head with your comments. I love the positivity of this album and I don’t know if you already knew this but he used this album as a journal to deserve his emotions from the past two years - so the off screams in giants and dull knives probably insinuate those feelings - can I recommend you do scales and icy by Twenty one pilots next ?? Keep up the great content 🌟
I will add the Twenty One Pilots to my list! I'm still trying to completely decide what my weekly content will look like, but this will definitely be there soon!
I totally respect your opinion on Giants, but for me that song song is golden. P.S. I know that Dan doesn’t scream as god as Tyler Joseph (TØP), but his screaming of "spine" was on point
I respect your opinion, and a great video as always. I just feel like personally, i would put Ease Come Easy Go in A, and it's ok in B Oh, and I really enjoyed Cutthroat. I would put it in A
when i first listened the album I absolutely hated it, and then I started understanding them and that made me love all the songs with a slightly exception on it's ok-
For me This is the best band of all 2000 century in English ( cuz I hear both English songs and Spanish songs ) (before that I say queen) I really like every of their songs even the ones that a lot of people don't like, like DANCING IN THE DARK
Honestly, Wrecked had me in tears and Giants gave me chills. I loved this album
I’m glad you’re enjoying the album! A lot of the songs have definitely been stuck in my head the last couple of days.
Both are my favorites
Giants was nuts
Get on my knee, is one of weirdest lyrics I’ve ever heard
yeah
YEah.
fk the critics
My most favourite song from this album is “Giants”. I can’t scream my lungs out where I live without alerting the neighbours so it’s very cathartic when Dan screams. It’s like he screams out my pain *for* me, I’m grateful for that.
I love all of the songs in this album and I listen them all on repeat ❤️
Idk why people don’t like Giants and Dull Knives they are amazing
Such powerful songs, I can understand people not enjoying listening to them tbh but I hope many appreciate the songs for their message and passion
Both are the best of the album
They're literally my favorites
The bests songs
Yes!!!
Some people say that the screaming in Giants is off pitch but he’s actually *in* pitch, he’s just sliding smoothly between the notes.
Imagine thinking that Dan Reynolds can’t properly scream-sing 🤣🤣. Great comment
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
I love giants
@@alexm.6533 same
No joke, I love the screaming...so much passion...it gives me goosebumps everytime
Are you kidding? That twisting my spine part is my favorite part of the whole album. He absolutely killed it, how dare you!! xD
Don't worry, I realized my mistake and it is addressed in a future tier list!! 😂
@@TomTwentyTwo Haha you rock!
I thought this album was a step up from Origins. It's interesting to hear other peoples' opinion of the songs because I personally love Giants and Dull Knives. Great review!
I'm glad you're enjoying the album! Thank you for the nice comment!
Dull knives is amazing!!
I’m gonna be honest, I actually really like Dan’s voice when he’s super screamy especially in Dull Knives.
when i first saw this, I was wondering why you only had a few views and subscribers when you had such high-quality content. Then I realized it's your first video. I hope you keep growing, and I loved watching this video and I look forward to more content. Dull knives, Giants, Easy Come Easy Go, and My Life are my favorites
Thank you so much! I am also glad you're enjoying the album!
Oh my goodness I didn’t even know 😳, he seemed like some popular RUclipsr I had never noticed, I didn’t even realize it was his first video 😂

Lonely has absolutely grown on me and doesn't deserve the spot it got in this tier list.
@@TomTwentyTwo same, the first listen I was pretty meh about it, but it later became my favorite on the album.
@@TomTwentyTwo Same
Wrecked and Giants are some of the best songs I've ever heard...
I love Imagine Dragons! There my number 1 band! For me, the more you listen to there songs, the more you will love them!
I've been an ID fan for 8 years now and I think this is by far the most honest review of imagine dragons I've ever seen (including reacts from fanboys and haters)

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad that you've got some good memories to take with you. I'm also glad that you're enjoying the album!
I actually like the first line of the chorus of Giants. It's my favorite part of the song, it's so different and it definitly gets your attention
As someone who saw the Mercury Tour in concert, I can confirm that the piano build up from the opener (My Life) is absolutely incredible. Best show I've ever seen.

it's really fun to hear other's opinions, I really love giants and dull knives and my jaw kinda dropped when you put them on B😭

Very true! They also take on topics that not many other modern artists choose to do anymore.
Follow You and No Time For Toxic People are my favorites
Huge respect to you from Russia for this reaction! Particularly for the #1 part because that's my favorite absolutely
So it's been 10 months and my opinions have changed a bit. I can listen to cutthroat and honestly like it now. I still think lonely is my favorite. I used to hate giants, upon rewatching this I realized I like the beginning until he maxes out the mic. I also still hate it's okay

Giants at first wasn't really my favorite when the album first came out but overtime it grew on me the more I listened to it and now it's one of my favorites, giants and dull knives gives me chills everytime time I listen to it. I personally really like "it's ok" and "cutthroat", it's okay is a song I really needed after going through hard times and cutthroat just sounds cool to me.
I think I love giants screaming part so much cause it shows Dan so much. Like it’s a window into his life right now. It’s shows the desperation of it
I loved the whole album, even the controversial one Cutthroat, and that's just my opinion. I guess I'm a big fanboy of them, so most if not all songs are my instant favorites.
I loved the believer album and dancing in the dark, and I know it's not for everyone.
I’ll be honest, I also thought Lonely was average when I first heard it. But I’ve grown to love it, and learning the verses is a fun ride in and of itself.
Nice video. Good luck with your channel!
Thank you very much!
One day is a vibe
Imagine dragons are my favourite band and it's really nice to see someone else's perspective on the album, great job! 👍
Remember me when you’re famous man, quality content right here
Thank you so much!
I love the whole F$@&ing album Wreaked is a 20
I don't mind will forever be my favorite song of theirs 🙏
I wasn’t sure about all the songs at first but they really grew on me. Especially, One Day that grew on me the more times I listened to it. Maybe you could do another video reranking them after listening to them a couple of times
I definitely have considered it! We did a tier list including every Imagine Dragons song last weekend and after listening to Mercury again, those songs have raised up on that tier list.
i love the you critique these songs man, and i strongly agree with you too! personally tho i’m lovin Giants hahaha but great list !
Thank you very much!
I could see a rising channel right here 😁..honestly reviewed .. ❤️❤️
Thank you very much!
I'm a year late, but whatever. I love listening to people rating some of my favorite music, and Imagine Dragons is probably my favorite band these days. It's funny you put Follow You up top, because that one didn't really hit me until I heard the song live. That's when I really started to not skip it when it came on. My Life, Wrecked, Monday, absolutely up there as well, so I agree, a lot of those get me moving like crazy. Lonely is my jam though, and they did actually play it live when I saw them last summer. I love that song so much, it's a bop in the car no doubt. Easy Come Easy Go, No Time For Toxic People and Cutthroat are probably those that I would put higher. The first two because I just like the songs, especially Easy Come Easy Come is genuinelly just chill while No Time For Toxic People gets me in a really good mood. I wasn't that big of a fan of Cutthroat in the beginning, but I use it when I'm at the gym, and it really pumps me up. I would otherwise say I agree with the list.
Good video and loved your reaction
Good luck
This is the best thing i have ever seen
what a good reaction?! good luck boy!
When it’s okay was playing it skips that part where it says “I don’t want this body, I don’t want this voice, I don’t want to be but I guess I have no choice”
I'm a huge Imagine Dragons fan and I honestly respect your opinions and tier listing for the songs on their new album. I really like your album review and I've subscribed to your channel too.
If I were to do a tier list , there will not be any bad songs in this album. But here's my tierlist for their new album below.
🔥 - Dull Knives , Follow You , Monday
A - My Life , One Day , Lonely , No Time For Toxic People , #1
B - It's Ok , Wrecked , Easy Come Easy Go
C - Cutthroat , Giants
That's a good list! I'm glad you're enjoying the album, and thank you so much for the sub!
@@TomTwentyTwo no problem and I hope you're enjoying the album too with your favourite songs. And also , are you a Imagine Dragons fan?
@@Hxnztify I am indeed! Have been ever since I saw them on their Smoke + Mirrors tour!
The video is good quality but your tier system is absolutely terrible. Firstly, Giants and Dull Knives are BETTER than Radioactive, and secondly, how is Cutthroat average??
I think you give good reasons for all of your opinions, and I respect that alot. But some of my personal takes are that I LOVE "Cutthroat", "Dull Knives", "One day", and I think "It's Ok" should be higher, but not A tier. And I really can't listen to "Follow You", because I personally don't like the whole "I'll follow yoou-ou-ou", and the repetitions like "You know I got your number, number all night" thing. All in all, great video and great arguments for the most part! Keep up the great work
You can definitely tell that Follow You was in a way, designed to specifically be a single because of the song structure and repetition. Thanks for the kind comment!
You need to hear It’s Okay live, it change your mind very quickly, i didn’t loved it either until I saw them two weekends ago ❤️ My favorites are obviously Wrecked and Follow You, Cutthroat and Dull Knives are so crazy too (actually my favorite and saddest
lyrics- Cutthroat is about depresión and Dull Knives about his health condition- you can hear his pain in both songs)
All of these songs make me remember my grandma who died 2 years ago from cancer and my moms best friend (basically family) has not long to live from cancer. Like a couple months to a year. She also has 3 kids and they all have severe autism
This might be my favorite album
Love the musical arrangements for this song! Give this song a 10 my life/
Great review of the album. I agree with you that “Follow You” is a bop. I also really like “Giants” but the screaming does throw me off. I think the screaming is just something that the ear might have to get used to. I think a lot of songs from this album have good vibes, but my least favorite songs are Lonely, #1, and Cutthroat. Unfortunately, every time I hear “Cutthroat” I get anxiety.
I agree, I think some songs from other artists “does the screaming right”, but I don’t know that I’ve heard anything like what I’ve heard from those few songs on Mercury Act 1. The first time I heard Cutthroat, I too got a bit anxious.
Thanks for the nice comment!
lonely is bad?
@zcrrcw I don't think it is! About halfway through the stream, I ended up making a B tier above Average and moved Lonely up there. 👍😀
@@TomTwentyTwo i was talking to marcus peterson who thinks lonely is the worst, but i like your opinion, i think lonely, easy come easy go, and giants are the best, and like both of you i don't like the screaming either.
@@TomTwentyTwo i listened to giants again and at this point i think he's just bragging that he can scream
Act 2 is coming out on July 1
Hi from France! I found this album from Imagine Dragons incredible, I'm quite sad about your opinion about Giants because it really is one of my favorites but at the same time I can understand this opinion of yours. An album from Imagine Dragons that you could maybe like if you don't know it yet is "Deep Cuts" it isn't an "official album" but it is really amazing. For a first video it's a very good one, and I will for sure continue to watch you listen to music. Thank you for this great video! 😁
Thank you very much! And don't worry, last weekend, we made a tier list of every Imagine Dragons song (including Deep Cuts), and Mercury songs were definitely ranked higher the second time around.
@@TomTwentyTwo I will for sure watch this!
Can I point out how everyone hates Monday and yet “You are my Monday, you’re the best day of the week”
There was a skip in “It’s Ok,” and that’s not ok.
My top 3:
1. Lonely
2. Wrecked
3. Dull knives
Just a random message because I think Cutthroat is a powerful song
So it's July of 2021, the pandemic is still going on and classes are online. I have this final exam of physics but my teacher is so lazy to teach us anything so he just gave us exercises and weird presentations to study and pass the exam, I needed to pass it because it was important and because I had failed his previous test for the first time in all my life. I've always had good grades so failing the previous exam made my parents get super angry and strict towards me so I HAD to pass the exam. Studying physics was hard, not because of the subject but the teacher since I was so angry at him for not teaching us well, so I remember I used to play this song over and over and oof, it was huge motivation, it made stuff be easier to study and get over my anger towards the teacher. Playing the song before I started the exam gave me a lot of courage to nail the exam and so did I and now when I have to deal with difficult stuff at school or with people, I play that song and I feel powerful and like I have the courage to get over it so it's actually nice.
I think this was a great album review , I feel like you really hit the nail on the head with your comments. I love the positivity of this album and I don’t know if you already knew this but he used this album as a journal to deserve his emotions from the past two years - so the off screams in giants and dull knives probably insinuate those feelings - can I recommend you do scales and icy by Twenty one pilots next ?? Keep up the great content 🌟
I will add the Twenty One Pilots to my list! I'm still trying to completely decide what my weekly content will look like, but this will definitely be there soon!
@@TomTwentyTwo if you do them i highly recomend Trench, really good album
I totally respect your opinion on Giants, but for me that song song is golden. P.S. I know that Dan doesn’t scream as god as Tyler Joseph (TØP), but his screaming of "spine" was on point
25:40 it sounds like he says loom what I've become, you can even hear the "m" at the end, I think genius messed up their lyrics.
Foreshadowing???
I respect your opinion, and a great video as always. I just feel like personally, i would put Ease Come Easy Go in A, and it's ok in B
Oh, and I really enjoyed Cutthroat. I would put it in A
when i first listened the album I absolutely hated it, and then I started understanding them and that made me love all the songs
with a slightly exception on it's ok-
after you finish rating all their albums, will you do an album tier?
That is indeed the plan!!
L opinion the “twisting my spine” part in dull knives is amazing
i like Lonely the most
I normally don’t like it when Dan screams like that, but Dull Knives is awesome
For me
This is the best band of all 2000 century in English ( cuz I hear both English songs and Spanish songs ) (before that I say queen)
I really like every of their songs even the ones that a lot of people don't like, like DANCING IN THE DARK
I am sorry!! 😂😂
@@TomTwentyTwo no problem bro
Great video
My top 3 are
1. One Day
2. #1
3. Easy Come Easy Go
Giants is straight 🔥
