There were so many negative reviews after "Human nature" came out, jesus, all that "nightwish is gone", " bring back metal", "album is a disaster". My point is, Tuomas is a Musician, a Composer, this is his nature. He already deserves make music according to his own vision no matter what's gonna others say about it. Just appreciate his talent. Tank, your reactions always true. I'm here on your channel since the very beginning and you doing great job, thank you!
Anyone saying that kind of things don't realize Nightwish is not your usual "metal" band. Nightwish does... Nightwish things. Tuomas, Floor and the rest of the band are in a league of their own. You can't put a label on them, they are true artists. Let's just enjoy them while we can.
*Reminded me a lot of all the negative blabber after MetallicA released "LOAD", "S&M" or later "St. Anger". What had the people expected? That MetallicA would release the "Black Album" over and over again? With tiny, tiny variations here and there....but overall sound the same like in 1991?* 🤔🙄
Tumoas and Floor were having a bit trouble arranging the ending of this song. At the end of the day they weren't happy with it. When floor went home she tried again on her own and came up with this endind all on her own. The first few times I heard this, I cried because I felt that it touched my soul!
It's the song and the video. The earthset from shoemakers perspective with the soaring music at a time when earth is ravaged by covid (even if they weren't to know that at time of production) is so powerful.
50 year old power plant mechanic, music nerd, failed drummer, cry's every time Floor sings. The band is intense, she is Beyond. Great job as always Tank.
I love the thought that goes into this music as well.. Eugene Shoemaker was taken to the southern hemisphere of the moon and his ashes landed in the Shoemaker crater, that was named after him.. but, the southern hemisphere of the moon constantly has the earth on it's horizon.. which would mean from his prospective, on the moon, he would be seeing a forever "earth rise" like the song says.. and the spoken quote from Romeo and Juliet.. That's the same quote that his wife had engraved on the ern that carried his ashes to the moon..
The composition part of Nightwish's songs are the most intricate in my opinion. They focus on the storytelling rather than "Look how good I am" and that's one of the things I love about them.
I know this album is somewhat different than previous ones. That said, the level of topics (and overall engagement) on this one and the musicality is off the charts. Really have been enjoying it.
Floor said that she's recently had a breakthrough with her operatic vocals. That ending was absolutely stunning and gives me chills every time I listen to it. Heck, Tarja's classical voice juxtaposed to the metal sound was what got me into Nightwish in the first place. And now hearing this from Floor? More please! P.S. you should react to Amaranth when you get the chance. Fun fact, the music video is Nightwish's most viewed video on RUclips.
I teared up when i first heard this, and know I'm tearing up again seeing you tear up! Dammit! Nightwish makes you feel greatful for being alive man. This band and their music, especially since Floor joined, touch me in a way not many artists succeed to do. Great stuff!
Sry Tank, I said "Lifetime of a journey" in the Lifechat but its actually called "Lifetime of adventure" 🙈 Its from Tuomas' Solo Project - a really great and beautiful song ❤ Anyway I wish you the best for the upcoming delivery of your daughter ❤ Hope to see you again soon
This song is also for me a very emotional one. Outstanding the combination of drums and heavenly voice, than the cut with the Shakespeare poem by Tuomas wife and finally the climax of an epic as hell ending. Art that touches.
Terve! That's cool man cheers from Finland :D awesome to see so many different nationalities tuning in to this reaction. Sure Nightwish has fans all over the world but it's also great to see how many people this channel reaches, considering so many smaller bands than NW are featured here, Orbit Culture and Insomnium and so on. Nice nice nice
That ending, is going to be so fucking epic live. I also second the comments suggesting you give Sagan a listen to, it's one of those songs you won't get out of your head for weeks.
Great reaction video again tank. That Shakespeare quote from Romeo and Juliet is inscribed on Eugene shoemakers memorial capsule that was put on the moon with some of his ashes 🤗💕
I love that you do the work for a better understanding 🙏🏻 You are absolutely right about the emotions, the laudato gives me the chills every time. Hi from the Netherlands 🙋🏼♀️
The first time I heard this was the day if release and the UK had just had it's worst day yet of covid deaths, there was so much gloom and fear around and the ending to this song just hit so hard as I thought about the thousands who had died upto that point. The ending still reminds of that time nearly a year on.
Damn! How dare work and real life interfere with Shoemaker reaction premiere, sacrilege! THIS MASTERPIECE. It will forever remind me of the smell of spring in the air during many walks in nature (everything closed due to Covid), the frustration but also hope this is just temporary - all felt during that April 2020 - and the happiness that at least I had a new Nightwish album to enjoy.
Hello and greetings from Vienna/ austria i just stumbled in your video here, because of that song and wanna say a few things ^^ first of all ... thank you. you did the background resaerch and you learned abaout the story of eugene shoemaker, befor the react. and it was a great react to it. love it gosh! that song! It hit me so hard in my feels! Especially the part with the child like voice, with the shakespear quote, and the laudato si - ad astra part after. Every time, i hear this as a grown man in the age of 41 years old, my eyes almost became a river. In deed, this song is very special for me! beside that i'm a absolutly metalhead since year 2000, i'm a life long science fiction fan in general, big fan of star gate, big big fan of star wars and absolutly hardcore fan of the star trek universe. star trek is as importand for me as the bible for a christian priest, i guess you get the idea. every time i wachted some star trek episodes of one of the show's, or one of the films, or every time i playing a star trek game like "Star Trek armada 2" years ago, or like star trek online, i am there! everything of me, every single cell is out there! in my imagination i was out there! in the cold of space! i was there in my own starship and exploring the galaxy. later when i played star trek online ... it was litterally breathtaking, seen first time the spacestation deep space nine in game with my own eyes. and then standing there, on the promenade deck in the station whith my gamecharacter, where i watched star trek deep space nine so often, that i could navigate complettly blind, i can't tell you how that had fellt, my eyes became wet. for my whole life i was dreaming about getting my one little starship, with all that star trek technology, and travel out there ... exploring and find out what is really out there, waiting for us to be discovered. as you read this, you may get the idea, why this song hit me so hard and my face getting wet every time i listen to it. Eugene shoemaker was one of the founders of the modern field of the planetary sience. And gene roddeberry was the creator of Star Trek! You may will now nod with your head and understand now, that those both men are something like life long heros for me. The fact, that eugene shoemaker is one of my heros i didn't even know 12 months ago. i just found out like 6 months ago about that song through another yt reaction from another channel, and that tha band made a new album, i realized months after that. just through the song i learned about eugene shoemaker. There was only one time that the name „shoemaker“ was in my ears, besides the song from nightwish. It was the year of 1994, when the broken parts of the comet „shoemaker levy 9“ crashed into jupiter. The new reports were all over the world. I still remember the fascination in my mind about that event. Greetings from vienna Wolve PS. I still have to work on my english, so ... sorry if some parts are sound weird, I'm from austria, so my mother language is german ^^ and any tipping errors, i don't need them any more, you can keep them :P
Your English is totally fine, and I wouldn’t have even thought it wasn’t your first language! Thank you very much for taking the time to share all of that. I love that music can bring us all together in so many ways.
@@TankTheTech naaww thnak you tank jep, i fully agree! that's maybee the most beautifull thing about musc. because music is one of the few global understandable laguages, and it brings folks together. Everbody understands it, even they can't follow the text.
Listening to this album after the Marko departure announcement, I can't help feeling like they knew he would be leaving when making this album. You may have noticed, but aside from I think one song, Marko does not have prominent vocals and mainly only does subtle harmonies. And it seems like they made a concerted effort to demonstrate Troy's talents to emerge as a secondary vocalist. Marko is undoubtably an irreplaceable member of this band, but it seems like this album may have been (intentionally or not) starting along the path to moving on without him and showing that the band is still amazing even when he is much less prominent than he has been in the past.
Sight Unseen I agree with you in regards of Marko, my first thought when the CD was released was where's Marko disappeared to, he's hardly on the CD, don't get me wrong Troy has a good voice and plays slot of instruments but Marko is an exceptionally singer, Marko leaving compounds that feeling. I do wish him good luck in the future
You are right. Plus am I just being paranoid or did Marko deliberately use criticism of (mainly) religion even in their previous album - Endless Forms Most Beautiful as an outlet for his frustration? I have read he was the one who put these specific verses in the lyrics. PS when you watch especially Tampere concert, you can see he looks a bit tense when they sing those lyrics. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into that and he was just "in the moment" during the great concert.
This whole album is an emotional roller coaster. Especially disc 2 with the 30 mins of nothing but epic orchestral music. I highly recommend people who want to hear Tuomas' orchestral compositional chops on full display give it a listen.
I've been listening to this ever since the album came out. The CD is on repeat on a weakly basis (sometimes for days in a row) on the car during commutes to work and back. Might have listened to the album a few hundreds. The ending of Shoemaker still brings tears to my eyes. It does mess up something inside. I agree with you about the composition itself, it's masterful, but man, there is something in Floors' voice. It touches, it releases something. So, Pan next. Yeah, get the baseball cap for that one. It's a rocker! Also Tank, I'm still waiting on that Moonspell reaction.
After 26 years of existence, Nightwish are one big opus. They can't just be lumped into one genre. They are emotions, hight music, talent and a musical phenomenon of this time. Tuomas's talent cannot be pigeonholed into just one genre, he is a genius. It pushes everything further and further. Nightwish are not only for those who recognize pure metal. It is for people who feel music through emotions, whatever they may be. I've known them since Century Child. And during that time, one meets three groups of people who either perceive them as too hard or too soft. These people could never understand it. They only eat their own food. (They only think about their needs). And then there are people who perceive music as such. They can understand it, they can understand Tuomas's talent, his thought. Nightwish are an Epos, it is a poem of epic proportions in a perfect musical performance full of musical Masters. Apologies for google translate if this is inaccurate. It is the treasure and secret of the old continent. It's a message in a unique form.. It's Nightwish. Literally
This band's music offers so many out of body experiences it's crazy. It makes you feel part of a whole. A humble yet significant part of the universe. 🙏
The thing is that ending leaves us all in a blank stare just thinking about everything yet anything at the same time, in awe of an unusual feeling, just thinking about existence! And it's such a strange sensation but it hits all of us at the same core, as if we're all made of the same stuff. It makes you feel nostalgic and alone but knowing we all feel the same is the warmest feel we can ever get
That last visual of ☀️ 🌍 🌕 along with the music/Floor’s vocals is just perfect. That I assume would be Shoemaker’s view from his final resting place...How F’ing cool is that??? Awesome reaction Tank 🤘
When you said you'll be doing the whole Human:||:Nature album this is the song that immediately popped in my head, that I knew it will blow your mind. Some songs take me some time to like, others I like at first listen, but this one...I loooved at the first minute. Beyond the amazing arrangement, the composition and Floor's out of this world vocals, this song (with it's story) is so moving it gets me every time I hear it. This is truly a masterpiece 🌒🌠🖤!!
Interestingly, they also done another tribute song to an astronomer/scientist. It was a tribute to Sagan and was on the "B-side" of Elan. But this song is incredible and even NASA have said it's an amazing tribute to Eugene Shoemaker.
Hello Tank! Normaly I don't like live reactions.... But this one I loved. You did a great job focusing on the important .... music ! Thank you for your good work!
That last perspective of the earth setting over the horizon of the moon and the sun setting afterward. Shot from Eugene's gravesite on the moon! Amazing! totally agree Tank! This new record is done from a whole different perspective. Harvest is next. I think you may love this one.
Tuomas said this album is very organic, nothing was pushed or made up. It just.. Happebed with the feel. Also, Floor said vocaly this album is hardest thing she had to do. So yeah... At some point there will be a religious sounding track with full lathin lyrics and we will eat that sh1t up
Well, you're relateable, seem like a nice and genuine guy and you bring a lot of of technical and musical knowledge to the table, that's why we listen and watch 😘
Music is one of human's best inventions and Nightwish is one of the best products music can offer 😁 Yeah, some bands can shred but that doesn't necessarily means their music is interesting and enjoyable. What makes Nightwish special is the genius of Tuomas, they are all great musicians but he is the one that is absolutely unique and irreplaceable. This album is going to destroy live, can't even imagine hearing this music live, it will be so grand 😍 Pan is fantastic, but I can't wait till you get to Endlessness, for me it is up there with the best Nightwish songs ever, and one of the reasons why Marco's departure sucks so much 😖
I love that song! I am a drummer of 44 years and the first time I played with a click was in front of 1400 people lol. It was strange and hard the first time, now its easy. I like to jam to nightwish at home, on my VDrums or my acoustics. There's a special connection you get from actually playing with the music other than just listening of course, and especially Nightwish! Thanks for the great video Tank!
Man, I am so happy that the youtube algorithm suggested me you and chase both at some point during last year. There are a lot of reactors out there who are fun and entertaining but you two are among the best of them all. Thank you for doing all this and keeping me entertained throughout these times :) also I said it multiple times to my friends as well. I think, Human Nature is their worst album they have done. But Human Nature is still an absolutely amazing album. That just shows how genius tuomas really is.
Tank, I missed this do to a doctor's appointment, but I agree with you completely about the way Tuomas uses music to bring out emotions. Great reaction!
...i knew a tier would come in the end...felt the same 1st time listening to it now just never ending chills music makes us feel loads of emotions just insane
before only few know who is e. shoemaker. now plenty people know who he was, sometimes music teaching history and i love it. thanx to great reaction and have great weekend also.
Had to see your reaction to "laudato" ...... Thanks. For me: that part always reminds me of "It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."
This whole album is a 'grower!' In other words, with every listen it grows on you even more! It's a personal favorite for me, tho I am a fan of almost all their stuff from the very beginning! Pan will be fun for sure. Do make sure you have your thinking cap on if you intend to make real sense of the lyrical references on a first go....looking forward to it!! Nightwish are certainly a thinking person's metal band!
Arjen, wrote everything for ayreon with movies in mind. The world covid situation has made funding very unlikely ....please do what you can to increase his exposure to world wide and particularly North American audiences. (Only posted because you mention Ayreon in the chat)
Heyyy Tank! It's now wonder at all, Master Tuomas wants so deeply to meet Vangelis...I really hope for him this one day will be true. Only even more extraordinary artistic top products would be the result, don't you think so too? Thanx for this great upload, man!
watching a replay because a busy workday. Your sound pulled Marko out more for my ears to hear. Almost more than I had heard listening through on the release day. bit mad I had to miss Elisabeth and Chase, but oh well, sound is better at home.
You are 100% right. Floor's voice is beautiful, and all the band members are ridiculously good, but it is the composition by Tuomas which really sets Nightwish apart, IMHO.
Like every other song on this record, it seems to get better & better with every listen. Pretty remarkable considering him much I have spun it to this point lol. Human Nature is certain a departure in a lot of ways, but man it is good.
Pan is glorious, Shoemaker always gives me goosebumps but I love the build on Pan through the verse, it's a pure pristine melody that does funny things to you lol. Yeah definitely lose the hat for Pan, and when you get to Tribal I would let the hair flow that's a chuggy wonder. I believe they have said they weren't going to play Shoemaker, but I would be surprised if they stick by it as it's such a fan favourite. Are you going to tackle the back end of the album in one lump or separately/listen off camera? "All the works of nature which adorn the world" is an experience and a half that I personally prefer to absorb somewhere without interuptions. Great reaction as always :)
Do you hear how tight that guitar and bass is with the snare drum? This is a nightmare of a song to get tight! Then you have floor singing the most difficult lines she has ever had to do in this band. Nightwish is the greatest symphonic metal band in history! No one would ever attempt to duplicate this. In my opinion, this is the hallmark song of the Nightwish era.
I flipping love this song and the ending gets to me every time. Laudato si' (Praise Be to You) Ad Astra (to the stars) A suggestion for what to do with the super chats: start a "college" fund for your daughter.
This one could use few tank facts to explain the lyrics and backstory, superb song and the more I listen to it and learn about it, the more impressive it is.
Hi Tank, thanks again for the Stream Video. It's 5.30 in the morning and I am on my way to Work watching this Video Afterwards. I Always learn new Things about technical Matters in music in your Videos. But where ist the: " Emppu ist playing......."????? 😜😜 I Wish you the best for the Baby. Stay tuned stay crazy stay healthy.
This song actually was my lost played song of 2020. I’m a big NW fan but this album.... it got me through the lockdown and I will forever be thankful for it. Thanks Tank and img Elizabeth and Chase were here I missed them! Next one I won’t miss Pan is just brutal!
Great song as the whole album itself! Waiting for the new Wednesday! Oh, man (duuude) check pls maudlin of the Well - They Aren't All Beautiful or smthng else from the Bath. Its a very unexpected and unique music that has no analogues. You will be very surprised i think
May i recommend Shoemaker Live @ Deichbrand 2022? Although it was not really planned to play this live, they do luckily for us ❤️ when Floor kicked you out of your seat at the album version, then absolutely look at this amazing live performance 😍

There were so many negative reviews after "Human nature" came out, jesus, all that "nightwish is gone", " bring back metal", "album is a disaster". My point is, Tuomas is a Musician, a Composer, this is his nature. He already deserves make music according to his own vision no matter what's gonna others say about it. Just appreciate his talent. Tank, your reactions always true. I'm here on your channel since the very beginning and you doing great job, thank you!
I've said it before, but metalheads are far more narrow-minded and constipated than your average bruh-rap-hip-hop fan. NOT ALL OF THEM (c), but most.
Anyone saying that kind of things don't realize Nightwish is not your usual "metal" band. Nightwish does... Nightwish things. Tuomas, Floor and the rest of the band are in a league of their own. You can't put a label on them, they are true artists. Let's just enjoy them while we can.
Tuomas wants to make cinematic music. That’s his passion. When Nightwish are done he will be making movie scores full time.
Yeah. Remember when Metallica put out S&M? Lol. Epic , but the "Metallica has jumped the shark"-bros were all over it. :P
*Reminded me a lot of all the negative blabber after MetallicA released "LOAD", "S&M" or later "St. Anger". What had the people expected? That MetallicA would release the "Black Album" over and over again? With tiny, tiny variations here and there....but overall sound the same like in 1991?* 🤔🙄

That ending gets me every time, no matter how many times I see it. It´s just so majestic and epic!
I think it will always get me. Certain songs from Nightwish and other bands, still get me and I’ve heard those more than a hundred times
"Majestic" is possibly the best word for it.
Every. Frickin. Time.
It's the song and the video. The earthset from shoemakers perspective with the soaring music at a time when earth is ravaged by covid (even if they weren't to know that at time of production) is so powerful.
Same.
Exactly the same.

P.S. you should react to Amaranth when you get the chance. Fun fact, the music video is Nightwish's most viewed video on RUclips.
Something about the Buenos Aires version always hits me. You can really tell how much fun they are having.
It's fascinating how many great musicians are into the sciences. Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics, Dexter Holland has a PhD in microbiology...
This is the song to hand to the "metal is just noise" person.
This was one of the songs on my mothers funeral.... it's so awesome and I still can hear that song.... sometimes I cry but it's OK
I teared up when i first heard this, and know I'm tearing up again seeing you tear up! Dammit! Nightwish makes you feel greatful for being alive man. This band and their music, especially since Floor joined, touch me in a way not many artists succeed to do. Great stuff!
Sry Tank, I said "Lifetime of a journey" in the Lifechat but its actually called "Lifetime of adventure" 🙈 Its from Tuomas' Solo Project - a really great and beautiful song ❤ Anyway I wish you the best for the upcoming delivery of your daughter ❤ Hope to see you again soon

looove that song alot
This song is also for me a very emotional one.
Outstanding the combination of drums and heavenly voice, than the cut with the Shakespeare poem by Tuomas wife and finally the climax of an epic as hell ending.
Art that touches.

Nice nice nice
Troy is featured prominently with the E-Bow in "While your lips are still red" live performance. You should react to it for sure. It's at Wembley.
That ending, is going to be so fucking epic live. I also second the comments suggesting you give Sagan a listen to, it's one of those songs you won't get out of your head for weeks.
Love to see the effect the songs of Nightwish have on people,same to me they take you on a magical journey every time you listen to them💫
By the way! They have another song about a famous scientist - Sagan. And I like it)) It was a bonus track on the previous album
yes that is a very good song
That's one of my favourites!!
One of my favourites!
Sagan is so good! I'm so sad it's not included on the standard album! Definitely one of my favorites from EFMB!
Man, I love your Nightwish videos. They are so human and unforced; a real pleasure to watch.
Great reaction video again tank.
That Shakespeare quote from Romeo and Juliet is inscribed on Eugene shoemakers memorial capsule that was put on the moon with some of his ashes 🤗💕
That ending makes a tremendous ringtone ... as long as you can handle the risk of inconvenient tears!
That ending is nearly perfect, the build up, the feel, and emotion, perfect
I love that you do the work for a better understanding 🙏🏻
You are absolutely right about the emotions, the laudato gives me the chills every time.

One of my favourite Nightwish songs. Simply because it’s epic.
Ending part touches every soul. It just gets so deep, intimate, private, raw

You are right. Plus am I just being paranoid or did Marko deliberately use criticism of (mainly) religion even in their previous album - Endless Forms Most Beautiful as an outlet for his frustration? I have read he was the one who put these specific verses in the lyrics.
PS when you watch especially Tampere concert, you can see he looks a bit tense when they sing those lyrics. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into that and he was just "in the moment" during the great concert.
"I didn't except this" well, it is NightWish, except anything and everything...
I haven't watched the video yet and I assume English is not your first language, but I think you mean 'expect'.
This whole album is an emotional roller coaster. Especially disc 2 with the 30 mins of nothing but epic orchestral music. I highly recommend people who want to hear Tuomas' orchestral compositional chops on full display give it a listen.
I've been listening to this ever since the album came out. The CD is on repeat on a weakly basis (sometimes for days in a row) on the car during commutes to work and back. Might have listened to the album a few hundreds. The ending of Shoemaker still brings tears to my eyes. It does mess up something inside. I agree with you about the composition itself, it's masterful, but man, there is something in Floors' voice. It touches, it releases something.
So, Pan next. Yeah, get the baseball cap for that one. It's a rocker!
Also Tank, I'm still waiting on that Moonspell reaction.
I have heard this song like a thousand times, tears me up again and again and especially watching with you. Thanks for your sharing
Dude, you need to listen to AURI (Tuomas, his wife and Troy)
This song is a masterpiece.
The songs have so much emotion. The ending music & operatics are so very beautiful and powerful - makes me tear up everytime.
After 26 years of existence, Nightwish are one big opus. They can't just be lumped into one genre. They are emotions, hight music, talent and a musical phenomenon of this time. Tuomas's talent cannot be pigeonholed into just one genre, he is a genius. It pushes everything further and further. Nightwish are not only for those who recognize pure metal. It is for people who feel music through emotions, whatever they may be. I've known them since Century Child. And during that time, one meets three groups of people who either perceive them as too hard or too soft. These people could never understand it. They only eat their own food. (They only think about their needs). And then there are people who perceive music as such. They can understand it, they can understand Tuomas's talent, his thought. Nightwish are an Epos, it is a poem of epic proportions in a perfect musical performance full of musical Masters.
Apologies for google translate if this is inaccurate.
It is the treasure and secret of the old continent. It's a message in a unique form.. It's Nightwish. Literally
This band's music offers so many out of body experiences it's crazy. It makes you feel part of a whole. A humble yet significant part of the universe. 🙏
Your best this far, tears smile . Kiitos.
The thing is that ending leaves us all in a blank stare just thinking about everything yet anything at the same time, in awe of an unusual feeling, just thinking about existence! And it's such a strange sensation but it hits all of us at the same core, as if we're all made of the same stuff. It makes you feel nostalgic and alone but knowing we all feel the same is the warmest feel we can ever get
That last visual of ☀️ 🌍 🌕 along with the music/Floor’s vocals is just perfect. That I assume would be Shoemaker’s view from his final resting place...How F’ing cool is that??? Awesome reaction Tank 🤘
Lets Gooo. Epic Performance as allways. I just love your reactions. Love from Sweden.
When you said you'll be doing the whole Human:||:Nature album this is the song that immediately popped in my head, that I knew it will blow your mind. Some songs take me some time to like, others I like at first listen, but this one...I loooved at the first minute. Beyond the amazing arrangement, the composition and Floor's out of this world vocals, this song (with it's story) is so moving it gets me every time I hear it. This is truly a masterpiece 🌒🌠🖤!!
Same here! Couldn't believe my ears when I heard it first time 😂
@@sylwia5595 I know that feeling, I was completely in awe ❤️🖤
Interestingly, they also done another tribute song to an astronomer/scientist. It was a tribute to Sagan and was on the "B-side" of Elan. But this song is incredible and even NASA have said it's an amazing tribute to Eugene Shoemaker.
Trouble is you can't really find Sagan anywhere, some kind of region lock or copyright issue or something.
@@Linklegacy77 Yeah, people have posted videos with the song in on youtube, but it's not on the Nightwish channel.
I’m here only to see your in tears 😬
All the best, dude.
Hello Tank!
Normaly I don't like live reactions....
But this one I loved. You did a great job focusing on the important .... music !
Thank you for your good work!
Thanks!
Tuomas loves Epic!
He will connect & unite the world with his music. 🌎 ✨
NW makes it happen!
That last perspective of the earth setting over the horizon of the moon and the sun setting afterward. Shot from Eugene's gravesite on the moon! Amazing! totally agree Tank! This new record is done from a whole different perspective. Harvest is next. I think you may love this one.
Tuomas said this album is very organic, nothing was pushed or made up. It just.. Happebed with the feel.
Also, Floor said vocaly this album is hardest thing she had to do. So yeah...
At some point there will be a religious sounding track with full lathin lyrics and we will eat that sh1t up
Well, you're relateable, seem like a nice and genuine guy and you bring a lot of of technical and musical knowledge to the table, that's why we listen and watch 😘
Music is one of human's best inventions and Nightwish is one of the best products music can offer 😁 Yeah, some bands can shred but that doesn't necessarily means their music is interesting and enjoyable. What makes Nightwish special is the genius of Tuomas, they are all great musicians but he is the one that is absolutely unique and irreplaceable. This album is going to destroy live, can't even imagine hearing this music live, it will be so grand 😍 Pan is fantastic, but I can't wait till you get to Endlessness, for me it is up there with the best Nightwish songs ever, and one of the reasons why Marco's departure sucks so much 😖
I love that song! I am a drummer of 44 years and the first time I played with a click was in front of 1400 people lol. It was strange and hard the first time, now its easy. I like to jam to nightwish at home, on my VDrums or my acoustics. There's a special connection you get from actually playing with the music other than just listening of course, and especially Nightwish! Thanks for the great video Tank!
I LOVE heavy Nightwish! \m/
And nomatter what song it is, it's always beautiful and emotional!
Man, I am so happy that the youtube algorithm suggested me you and chase both at some point during last year. There are a lot of reactors out there who are fun and entertaining but you two are among the best of them all. Thank you for doing all this and keeping me entertained throughout these times :)
also I said it multiple times to my friends as well.
I think, Human Nature is their worst album they have done. But Human Nature is still an absolutely amazing album. That just shows how genius tuomas really is.
Love the emotion dude... its what music should be all about!
Tank, I missed this do to a doctor's appointment, but I agree with you completely about the way Tuomas uses music to bring out emotions. Great reaction!
Another awesome reaction! "Pan" is probably my favorite off of Human II Nature, can't wait to see what you think of it. It's kick ass.
loving this mini series so glad to see you are enjoying this album looking forward to keep seeing this more and more this album is legit so good
...i knew a tier would come in the end...felt the same 1st time listening to it now just never ending chills music makes us feel loads of emotions just insane
before only few know who is e. shoemaker. now plenty people know who he was, sometimes music teaching history and i love it. thanx to great reaction and have great weekend also.
Great reaction Tank, loved it just as i love this band and song.
Also the genious of Tuomas is that the shakespeare quote is written on shoemaker'ssearn that is on the moon..GENIUS
Had to see your reaction to "laudato" ......
Thanks. For me: that part always reminds me of "It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."
I cried with you brother, they touch our heart
I've heard this ending a hundred times and it still pulls at me on the inside 😍 What a fucking tribute
It's happened many times on many different tracks. Tuomas has brought me to tears and every time I'm happier for it.
This whole album is a 'grower!' In other words, with every listen it grows on you even more! It's a personal favorite for me, tho I am a fan of almost all their stuff from the very beginning! Pan will be fun for sure. Do make sure you have your thinking cap on if you intend to make real sense of the lyrical references on a first go....looking forward to it!! Nightwish are certainly a thinking person's metal band!
Arjen, wrote everything for ayreon with movies in mind. The world covid situation has made funding very unlikely ....please do what you can to increase his exposure to world wide and particularly North American audiences. (Only posted because you mention Ayreon in the chat)
Yep it's ridiculous! ... I always cry 🥺❤️
the best to do it live: if all the band joins in the "ad astra" parte, including Tuomas, Kai and Emppu (and whoever replaces Marco)
Heyyy Tank! It's now wonder at all, Master Tuomas wants so deeply to meet Vangelis...I really hope for him this one day will be true. Only even more extraordinary artistic top products would be the result, don't you think so too?
Thanx for this great upload, man!
watching a replay because a busy workday.
Your sound pulled Marko out more for my ears to hear. Almost more than I had heard listening through on the release day.
bit mad I had to miss Elisabeth and Chase, but oh well, sound is better at home.
You are 100% right. Floor's voice is beautiful, and all the band members are ridiculously good, but it is the composition by Tuomas which really sets Nightwish apart, IMHO.
Great job, as always Tank, thanks for sharing.
This is by far my favorite song on the new album. From start to finish just an absolute banger.
Again, amazing reaction. Laudato si
Like every other song on this record, it seems to get better & better with every listen. Pretty remarkable considering him much I have spun it to this point lol. Human Nature is certain a departure in a lot of ways, but man it is good.
Wow, Tank...some of the BEST of the other reactors are joining this live review! Chase (of course), Elizabeth (Charismatic Voice) et al ! WOO!
Great people.
Pan is glorious, Shoemaker always gives me goosebumps but I love the build on Pan through the verse, it's a pure pristine melody that does funny things to you lol. Yeah definitely lose the hat for Pan, and when you get to Tribal I would let the hair flow that's a chuggy wonder.
I believe they have said they weren't going to play Shoemaker, but I would be surprised if they stick by it as it's such a fan favourite.
Are you going to tackle the back end of the album in one lump or separately/listen off camera? "All the works of nature which adorn the world" is an experience and a half that I personally prefer to absorb somewhere without interuptions.
Great reaction as always :)
This is the track on this'll album where you can just hear Toumas flexing 💪🏻 🎵🧠
Great reaction mate. Especially love the “going all Chase” mention and the palm muting mentions. Shoutout palm muting gang!
I've been with NW since literally the beginning and I can honestly say this is my favourite album to date. Absolutely 100%
I’ve always thought of drummers as the heartbeat of the band.
Literally. 🤘
Shoemaker is one of my favorites from this album! 🤘
I agree, it's their best album
Greetings from the Netherlands 🤘🇳🇱
Do you hear how tight that guitar and bass is with the snare drum? This is a nightmare of a song to get tight! Then you have floor singing the most difficult lines she has ever had to do in this band. Nightwish is the greatest symphonic metal band in history! No one would ever attempt to duplicate this. In my opinion, this is the hallmark song of the Nightwish era.
I flipping love this song and the ending gets to me every time.
Laudato si' (Praise Be to You) Ad Astra (to the stars)
A suggestion for what to do with the super chats: start a "college" fund for your daughter.
This one could use few tank facts to explain the lyrics and backstory, superb song and the more I listen to it and learn about it, the more impressive it is.
Congratulations on your newest member of the family fabulous...
We watch this channel simply because your awesome and a great guy 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you!
Hi Tank, thanks again for the Stream Video.
It's 5.30 in the morning and I am on my way to Work watching this Video Afterwards.
I Always learn new Things about technical Matters in music in your Videos.
But where ist the: " Emppu ist playing......."????? 😜😜
I Wish you the best for the Baby. Stay tuned stay crazy stay healthy.
This song actually was my lost played song of 2020. I’m a big NW fan but this album.... it got me through the lockdown and I will forever be thankful for it. Thanks Tank and img Elizabeth and Chase were here I missed them! Next one I won’t miss Pan is just brutal!
Pan is next! My favourite from the album! Loved this reaction! Keep up the good work!
Nightwish is what feelings sound like.
Great song as the whole album itself! Waiting for the new Wednesday!
Oh, man (duuude) check pls maudlin of the Well - They Aren't All Beautiful or smthng else from the Bath. Its a very unexpected and unique music that has no analogues. You will be very surprised i think
May i recommend Shoemaker Live @ Deichbrand 2022? Although it was not really planned to play this live, they do luckily for us ❤️ when Floor kicked you out of your seat at the album version, then absolutely look at this amazing live performance 😍
And she nailed it live.......thats.....incredibly good...love it!
Why do we watch the channel? Because you're Tank THE Tech. ;)
Saw that wipe. ;) :P Me? Tears (at the beauty of it) *every* damn time! :)
