This is one of those bands where you get that amazing rush once you first discover them. Like your mind is completely blown away and you can't stop thinking about the music.
Geordie is actually such a great vocalist. The instrumentation got my interest, but his singing is what gets stuck in my head and makes me keep coming back
black midi is something that I didn't know I needed in my life. Like holy shit this scratches an itch that has apparently been lying dormant in me until now. Fucking incredible.
I’m not crazy about the vocals but the instrumental was absolutely incredible. I can see the vocals growing on me though. The band sounds ambitious as hell.
Ngl, I couldn't care less about the math shit going on, but the goddam groove and the weird vocals that for some reason lingers plus the random freakouts is what makes me come back. Man, music taste really is something strange.
This is a masterpiece. A genuine epitome of what music really should be. There literally is so much emotion and substance.... Stairway to Heaven, Dark side of the moon ...Black Midi.
i kinda doubt it. based on the way that they’ve spoken about themselves in interviews they might last a while but go through lots of phases. if they do end up splitting i expect a lot of music to come from the individual members.
This does sound like Les Claypool from Primus with some experimental Fugazi but glad to hear some rock music from the younger generation. Seems as rock is dead these days.

From now on I will be like this all of the time Though I have said that so many times I was under his scrutiny, but oh, he failed to break me He laid out his theories, every one that he got He tried his best to stay strong, and resilient He does not view things as they are But he views them as they fit into his plan He looks prophetic as he theorises my demise But he is pathetic and he is nothing more But he could not break me He could never break me He could not break me He could never break me He could not break me He could never break me He could not break me He could never break me He looks so distraught as all his efforts amount to nothing I sit back and watch his 69 mind in full effect Every quote just eats itself with a different perspective He recycles points with a different tone of voice From a lack of any reaction he begins to become complacent I have the upper hand, now all I need to do is speak I say, "Diagnose if you wish but please first take your hands off your dick Diagnose if you wish but please first take your hands off your dick" He could not He would not He would not He could not He could not He would not He could not He would not He could not break me He could never break me He could not break me He could never break me He could never He could not
I have just been going through months of emotional abuse from my narcissistic sociopath manager. I have finally called her out on her abuse to the company and this is my new theme song. 💪
Great band...bit of Beefheart, some Can bass, Slintesque quiet/loud dynamic, David Thomas of Pere Ubu hanging over proceedings too. Lovely stuff! Diggn it! Thanks!
I remember when I first heard Mac Demarco back 4 years ago I was hooked because I simply didn’t know that Music could sound like what he was doing. 4 years later, my tastes have change a bit and bed room pop no longer sounds original or interesting. The first time I heard BM, I had the same experience all over again. This music just feels so good and so new. So fresh. God damn keep up the good work. You guys seem to really capture the anxiety and anger I feel towards the current state of the world and the catharsis from it feels so good. Such a release. I’m sure other people have different opinions and experiences with BM but I think the joy for me is knowing that I have my own while others have theirs. Can’t wait for the album in the mail, can’t wait to see you guys blow up.
The first thing that I thought in the first verse was Talking Heads...I go to their Spotify and I see that they have an EP titled "Talking Heads". On the money.

I'm yet to actually derive a specific meaning from the perspectives in the lyrics of this song but paired with the visuals, I think it's talking about the cyclical nature of history and our powerlessness in stopping that trend. See the castles get smothered by the cityscape, which then gets devoured by a black hole-turned-lamniscate, which is then replaced by a tower of similar architecture to the initial building. All along the way, we're shown classical paintings which begin to mutate, especially as we near the end of the video, where the depictions of death (or even mass death) become more concentrated and direct. I'd like to understand what the characters represented lyrically are intended to symbolize.
Creatine powder could he be singing as planet earth and hes talking about mans efforts to inadvertantly destroy itself (break him) feck knows its a thinker tho 😂
For me it feels like the “he” that is referred too is the doubting, self destructive, meticulously analytical and evil little ego residing in us all. The adversary at the heart of all conflict.
This band is the Led Zeppelin of our generation. It's like Swans, Slint, Ought, Daughters, Ghost, and Battles with King Diamond vocals and even Frank Zappa-esque lyrics at times. Was this made by aliens? Because it certainly isn't human. This is easily AOTY, maybe even one of the best Rock albums of the decade.
At first I didn't get the King Gizzard comparison here, but listening again I realise this is kinda structurally similar to Altered Beast IV and the heavy parts definitely sound like they could be from Murder of the Universe just with more noisiness and deranged screaming

Smashtime precisely what has happened to me
in the past few years black midi and daughters have gave me that feeling more than any other band
i wish i could hear black midi for the first time again, what a feeling that was
i know right
Totally. Felt this way w Tool and Talk Talk as well, personally.
looking forward to the buffcorrell cover

You just said it, duder. Exactly my feelings that you just brilliantly put into words 👏

@@teetoys76 you see, the people who actually understand the joke give a like instead of a confused comment.
I’m not crazy about the vocals but the instrumental was absolutely incredible. I can see the vocals growing on me though. The band sounds ambitious as hell.
Curtis Young Me too; the vocals have definitely grown on me
i was in the same boat at first but the vocals are what have kept me coming back
Ngl, I couldn't care less about the math shit going on, but the goddam groove and the weird vocals that for some reason lingers plus the random freakouts is what makes me come back. Man, music taste really is something strange.
When he said "he could nut" I trully felt inspired and fell inlove with the band forever and ever.
For me,this is a type of song that sounds weird at first but ends up becoming an addiction
Ducter? I hardly KNOW her!
Very good.
This is what it's all about right here. Simply amazing.
I give you a 9.8 out of 10. No- you earned it.
One of a kind music, same old jokesssss
ayyyyyyyy
Goddamn this band's drummer always impresses me
He's an absolute powerhouse.
He made the drums for Injury Reserve - Outside. Very cool
I’m a jaded 47 year old music snob. I came to sneer. They became my new favorite band. They are just stunning. Perfection.
hope that taught you a lesson lol thats a lame mentality to go about things with
ay be more open minded. new bands are popping every once in awhile, just gotta find em!
If you get the chance to aee them live, you will not regret being the old guy at the show.
Same age and ditto. Half heartedly thought I'd have to listen just to cross it off the list then just became spellbound. Magical stuff.
character development is a wonderful thing, glad you like :)
It's like a math rock band with David Byrne as the vocalist
David Byrne/PIL era Lydon/Peter Gabriel/Tim Smith*
Maybe I'm totally wrong but I'm hearing a bit of Les Claypool of Primus as well
if you think that's the case then listen to squid
@@KaedeSmithOfTheKiller7 definitely. Especially in the random outbursts

They made a whole album based on Adrian Belew's idea of the song Indiscipline from King Crimson. With a little of Foals too.
He sounds like Heath Ledgers joker if he gave up on trying to catch Batman and started a noise rock/new wave band
Ben Saad reggae*
Ben Saad He?
sounds like we live in a society
You know that this is the exact kind of music that joker would make too.
Sounds very similar to this

This is a masterpiece. A genuine epitome of what music really should be. There literally is so much emotion and substance.... Stairway to Heaven, Dark side of the moon ...Black Midi.
I’ve never felt so excited for a new band
Quite the introduction to this band back in the day I miss college
9 hours on the come down of a trip and I discover this and it sent me all the way back to the peak
guys this is insane. unbelievable work. like, whoa. please never stop!
My mouth is still open, after 3 times listening to that...wtf²?! :P
Wow a wtf*wtf....:was going to pooh pooh but in the time its taken to write this ive genuinely been moved, like, genuinely!! Good shit
Slinky johnny search black midi full set. Its an amazing lil live show. U see how young these guys are
Come on it's not that good
First time listening to math rock? Haha
it's been a while since I've been anticipating a record release like this, and this only confirms why that is
This and Hatchie are released on the same day, both look extremely good.
Sounds like a band thats going to make two more albums and then retire.
It do be like that sometimes
each wait between record would be about 5 years
black midi really boutta pull a Slint on us huh?
For sure lol
i kinda doubt it. based on the way that they’ve spoken about themselves in interviews they might last a while but go through lots of phases.
if they do end up splitting i expect a lot of music to come from the individual members.
The entire song is awesome, but the intro gives me chills every time
It may just be me, but I keep hearing shades of Primus here, especially in the vocals - Absolutely love it!
its like primus meets pere ubu meets battles meets slint. its amazing
This does sound like Les Claypool from Primus with some experimental Fugazi but glad to hear some rock music from the younger generation. Seems as rock is dead these days.

3:55 i think this is my favorite part of any song ever

From now on I will be like this all of the time
Though I have said that so many times
I was under his scrutiny, but oh, he failed to break me
He laid out his theories, every one that he got
He tried his best to stay strong, and resilient
He does not view things as they are
But he views them as they fit into his plan
He looks prophetic as he theorises my demise
But he is pathetic and he is nothing more
But he could not break me
He could never break me
He could not break me
He could never break me
He could not break me
He could never break me
He could not break me
He could never break me
He looks so distraught as all his efforts amount to nothing
I sit back and watch his 69 mind in full effect
Every quote just eats itself with a different perspective
He recycles points with a different tone of voice
From a lack of any reaction he begins to become complacent
I have the upper hand, now all I need to do is speak
I say, "Diagnose if you wish but please first take your hands off your dick
Diagnose if you wish but please first take your hands off your dick"
He could not
He would not
He would not
He could not
He could not
He would not

He could not break me
He could never break me

I'm gonna rebuild that tower
god please don't do a pretentious review of schlagenheim
yo, stEfaan
black midi is probably the most fun ive had in a while
I have just been going through months of emotional abuse from my narcissistic sociopath manager. I have finally called her out on her abuse to the company and this is my new theme song. 💪
Quieter parts kinda seem like a Slint-esque build-up
I get some SOAD - Toxicity vibes during the slow build-up,

This is such a bop. The visuals complement the music so well

He will somehow be disappointed and give it a 6/10.
90% of his reviews are hiphop so i don't see this happening
@@Fajfaj lmao ok pp head
8/10
Not bad
Haha he did exactly that
Sounds like Slint making a midlife crisis comeback, drugs involved.
I got really strong spiderland feelings
Fantastic band and cant believe new bands can be so progressivei'm definitely going to see them in july.
Amazing song, and love the music video... somehow makes me think both of vaporwave and Koyannisqatsi.
Great band...bit of Beefheart, some Can bass, Slintesque quiet/loud dynamic, David Thomas of Pere Ubu hanging over proceedings too. Lovely stuff! Diggn it! Thanks!
I totally get the Pere Ubu thing. Like if DT was fronting Godspeed. 😊
2 year old comment I'm aware, but thank God I'm not the only one who was picking up Beefhart inspiration, specifically in the vocals.

check out spiderland by slint and washing machine by sonic youth
Listen to the band hella.
So nice seeing people giving you recs. Check out daughters latest album :)
It’s funny to see you guys recommending my heavy rotation! Great minds think alike huh?
I have now learned to love ducter...
I’ve been waiting for this one, probably their best song!
Was better live imo! Still a solid tune tho!
this was until you heard 953 im sure
You may not like it, but the last 40 seconds of this song is where music, as a whole, has peaked.
wow ok
I no longer have to imagine what the baby of Adam Sandler and the Kings of Leon guy would sound like.
I just only discovered this band a couple of weeks ago and holy fucking shit. This song gives me goosebumps it's that amazing.
This is very interesting and wonderful stuff❤
swans meets the talking heads
Good comparison. I'd also throw in some Steve Albini stuff like Shellac and Big Black.

I'm yet to actually derive a specific meaning from the perspectives in the lyrics of this song but paired with the visuals, I think it's talking about the cyclical nature of history and our powerlessness in stopping that trend.

All along the way, we're shown classical paintings which begin to mutate, especially as we near the end of the video, where the depictions of death (or even mass death) become more concentrated and direct. I'd like to understand what the characters represented lyrically are intended to symbolize.

this is not who you *want to be* "
I prefer
“Diagnose if you wish, but please first take your hands off of your dick”

This music video looks like its doing a performance test on my graphics card.
i havent immediately fallen in love with a new song this year since since deafheaven's black brick. nice
Genre is almost obsolete at this point! I love it/this.

7/10, needs more unintelligible multilayered pianos at ludicrous speeds. also more bullets, there are never enough bullets in a bullet hell.
music, video and vibe overall amazing. truly makes me something inside
