Darko take risks which is awesome for metal. And that means that Darko offers something for everybody. Most diverse metal experience. ❤❤❤ 10/10. This Topped Knockled Loose imo but that is still a sick record too.
I love the ambience of 'The Mother'. It's like you're reflecting on not just the album you heard, but life itself. The talking sounds like a home family video with all your fondest memories flashing through your mind. And then, one final flash of heaviness to close out.
Darko always will be the masters of unique death/metal/aliencore. I will maintain my top 0.1% listener status for sure from this lol. Can't get enough.
This is their best work to date imo. I was concerned it wouldn't justify its run time but I was engaged from start to finish and the inclusion of more chill tracks was awesome. Definitely one of my top albums this year
Ive been saying this is album of the year for me atm and everyone hates says it was shit so i just say thats your opinion 😂 not mine, you hated it thats fine, its not for everyone but i loved it ❤
I’ve listened to this album a lot, and through the first few listens I didn’t get much from Mech Control. Chrome Moon, Shanghai, and Sora were my initial favorites. After listening to each song probably a few dozen times now, and Mech Control is probably my pick for favorite now. It’s definitely a grower.

@@Renix’reused content’ but I’ve been doing the same videos for 6+ years…. Also, they literally granted me access to monetisation when I hit 1K subscribers when my content was the same…😂 I’ve spoken to some people who have had the same issue and it’s been resolved, so crossing my fingers but not holding my breath to get it sorted 🤞🏼
Honestly, for me my experience with this album is that it’s so incredibly dense with heavy ridiculousness that I need to listen through each song multiple times and order to really just like soak it in before I go to the next. so like I have my first album listen and the whole time I just don’t even understand what the hell is going on and then I go through a second wave of listening to it and just slowly take everything in. Overall, however, 10 out of 10 album.
the female vocal wouldve gone so well in 5D and that synth in cry baby has such a porter robinson feel to it imo love your review and such a great album
I had really high expectations going into this album, as Shanghai and Bunny Suit have been a mainstay on my playlist for months. First half blew me away, but I do think I got a little bit fatigued/overstimulated/whatever at the same point in the album as you did, that kind of track 12-14 area. Absolutely rules overall and there are so many standout moments like the Marc Zelli feature, Atomic Origin, Chrome Moon and the last couple of tracks so I'm definitely going to keep going back to it. Could have just done with maybe being 50-55 minutes, for me personally.
I used to hate it when bands would release short banger albums like less than 30 mins. But this album taught me that I also would hate long albums. If you listen to each song by themselves, they are great. But as a whole, the cohesion and breaks are very hard to do. Most of the songs started to blend (no disrespect) as noise and as you stated, you start getting fatigued. Tom, Baby J and whoever produced and mixed this did a phenomenal job. I hope you resolve the demonetization issue Drew. ❤

Normally wouldn't fuck with this style of music but can't stop listening to it

I was so happy to hear Marcus Bridge’s beautiful voice on this Darko album.
The synth breakdown at the end of Chrome Moon was definitely one of my favorite moments on this album.

Dude when the “I love you” comes in. Immediate goosebumps every time

Need Darko Easter egg in next Phas update 🌚😂
@@DrewFortune97 I actually did one before, the old summoning circle textures said "sacrifice your sanity" from one of their tracks
@@cjdxnno way man that’s so sick😂😂😂
5D the best track
Agreed
5D is fawking unreal
Thank you for reacting! ❤
Distant World and Pleasures are my favs of the tracks that weren't singles, Bunny suit is the best and Shanghai comes in close. Wicked video Drew
Thanks man❤️

@@markwilkin1580 I get why some people might not like it but this is exactly what I'm looking for in an album like this
I almost have to listen this album one song at the time to truly appreciate everything, it’s so dense man haha. I love the grooves of Pleasures tbh.
Death Machine and Mech control are my 2 faves that arent single. Enjoyed the reaction!
The 4-5 songs that are absolute bangers! Good review enjoyed it
12:13 Good Lord
Im surprised Mech control didnt do anything for you. Its my favorite track for sure.
Possibly a grower for me!
Same, definitely my favorite

@@devronzea1042 I'm glad it grew on you! It's such a perfect combination of their brutal and melodic side.
Same dude, I love how it sounds so much

There’s moments of brilliance here but as someone who prefers this kind of insanity in small dose, this was ALOT 😅
Yup, A LOT😂😂
Just found your channel and great job dude! Subscribed!
Welcome, thanks bro❤️
Green machine and mech controls are my fav aside from teardrop sunshine and 5D
the female vocal wouldve gone so well in 5D and that synth in cry baby has such a porter robinson feel to it imo love your review and such a great album
Is it me or is the vocal line with Garrett Russel taken directly from Signal? It sounds identical to something from SP
Wish you luck in having the monetization issue resolved. That really sucks :L
Banger album and loved the vid!
Bro did a :L in 2024 😂😂
The WipEout OST in 2024 if the composer had balls
Starfire
Distant world
Death Charge
Chrome Moon
Sora
So many bangers on this album.

drew, have you heard the new heavesgate? banger vid as always btw
Yessir! Thanks man.
Imo mech control is probably the best song on the album with Sora and virtual function close behind
