Hey just wanted to say on spotify the album exi(s)t is on another aftists page called reflections you can't find it through your page. And this remix is perfect can't wait for more reflections
I've been a fan of reflections since the fantasy effect, this is honestly a dream come true congrats guys. You guys are by far the only band that I can go to you helped through the toughest of times
No fucking way, I literally just ranted earlier today on how life changing this album was , this band is so beautiful and to see this I almost cried , good shit ❤️
dude...youre in every comment section of every band i like and many other vidsa s well...i feel like we would have INSANELY similar youtube home pages lmao
@@timmykephart Buster was given access to the original recordings, and he re-amped the guitars, bass, made new drum tracks, and re-mixed and re-mastered both albums.
@@timmykephart yep dude got all Vildhjarta vinyl now got 1 original and 2 of the Forte versions buster remix and mastered. This shit is next for the collection !! 🤘🏼
I’m bricked tf up for this. This shit hasn’t got me feeling like this since I first discovered northlane in discoveries and when they finally dropped singularity!
There are vocal passages that I really appreciate on the OG like the lyrics they took out of an artifact. Also the ghost snares on advance upon me are gone. However this is the best redux of an album I’ve ever heard. Bands try and fail. This one killed. Sounds like it came out yesterday. Music, production, and everything in between. Quite literally flawless imo.
I absolutely cannot believe that this actually exists. But, I mean, is reality really realistic? 🤷♂️ hopefully one day, you guys will re-drop that Sandblasted Skin cover 💖
When I first checked The Fantasy Effect I always wished the production was a little better. Just now, I was once again listening to the old version thinking... Damn, this needs a remake and luckily scrolled down the results a bit and saw this! Great job.
Regarding how incredible this album was as a whole for me when I first got into the metal genre, it makes me so happy that y'all decided to do this. Even the redux sounds just as beautiful and heavy as the original. Amazing job to all of you, and thank you once again for this gift.
This album is still in my top 10 all time. I remember watching those play through videos years ago and it motivated me so much in my early years of learning to play guitar. Great to see this one redone👌🏼
God I remember listening to the guitar playthroughs over the psych ward lunch rooms intercom around X-mas of 2013. It feels nice to look back, and to see this now in a much better place. Tingles down my spine.
@@JayFFAFAlesanaES No. The nurse that was there for Xmas let us use RUclips to play our favorite music plugged into the speakers via an aux. I was just an incredibly depressed kid at the time.
Was real sad today as it was going to be the day I finally met you guys as you were coming to London with Humanity’s Last Breath before the tour got cancelled. But seeing this makes things easier. I was not expecting this 😳 I freaking love you guys, hopefully the chance to catch you guys live will come around again ❤️ Keep killing it. This redux is just perfect
Same here, I actually discovered Reflections because they came in to replace Black Tongue for this gig. Haaaaard slaps from them, really wanted to see them live.
Someone fucking tell me why the hell this is the first fime I'm seeing this. Ive had this album on my old ipod classic for like a decade. I saw these guys live in like 2011 or something. It melted me.
Djent's masterpiece I remember the first time I listened to the album and it was something so surprising, simple and made me shocked with how technical and beautiful it was, today listening to this redux I have the same feelings, thank you greetings from Brazil
I listened to at least one track from tfa every week since it came out and now theres just another reason to never stop this procedure. You guys are the fucking apeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex!
Good Push just feels so right with the way they crushed the bridge. I mean, first version was the song defined that album, but this redux... kills it x100000000
Who else thinks that the lead near the end of Rotations should've been louder? :( Other than that this is a great remake, thank you so much guys! Been a fan for a decade
I’ve put this on repeat for work just about every shift. I’m glad you uploaded it in its entirety. There are some parts here and there from the OGs that I miss. But this really does the album I’ve listened to for over a decade some serious justice.
About 8-9 years ago i saw a video of 2 slightly nerdy dudes' video play-through of their song "..And Found". I thought to myself "damn these dudes chugging away hard on their guitars" and hit the Like button. Don't remember listening to more of them. Today YT recommended me this. This is nice.
This album deserved a do over, I loved it back in the day but that mix is hard to enjoy now days, for me at least. So glad y’all decided to do this, SO FUCKING HEAVY
I guess im crazy, because i always loved how tfe sounded. Was a really original sounding production I felt like. But i love that cd so much i cant help but love this one too. Especially driving with the windows down with this blaring.
this was the original tempo! we basically sped every song up by 5-10 bpm before we released original TFE because we played live with no click, so got used to playing all the songs alot faster 😂
The one album that stuck with me ever since it came out. I can't believe i haven't heard it was remade until nearly 1 year later. Words cant even describe the emotion this gives me
@@ReflectionsMN I hope there’s new revamped merch for this specific record too. This was my shit wayyyyy back when. “…and found” and “an artifact” was my first listen from yall.
Whoa how is this album a decade old now? Yall released it when I was in college still, kinda makes me feel old but nostalgic. Thank you for making this redux though. I'm loving the subtle changes and upgrades, especially the amazing production from Buster. It's like I'm rediscovering this LP all over again and I'm all the way here for it.
I remember listening to demos of some tracks from 2006-2007, and it felt quite unusual, almost no one was making this kind of stuff during that era of heavy music. When I rediscovered you guys like a few years ago, listening this was like a breath of fresh air as the music and lirics is so relateble, you were ahead of your time even more than people can imagine. Hoping to see much more incredible music from you in the future. Thall
I think I've attuned to the rotations breakdown so many times my heart beat has me perpetually headbanging I've yet to hear anything more possessing sounds mixed with absolutely gripping blasts in my life *hellish growl while stomping around the kitchen like a feral hell hound 🐺👑
Been listening to the you guys since this first came out in 2011 when I was a junior in high school and here I am 11 years later still listening to you guys 🤟 Been a blast gentleman 👏

I've been a fan of reflections since the fantasy effect, this is honestly a dream come true congrats guys. You guys are by far the only band that I can go to you helped through the toughest of times
Omg that’s who mixed it?? Buster has been blessing us recently
Bro I should've known it was Buster
"Mix and Mastered by Buster Odeholm"
Legendary x1000000
No fucking way, I literally just ranted earlier today on how life changing this album was , this band is so beautiful and to see this I almost cried , good shit ❤️
Good Push*

One of my favorite albums of all time and simply a great rework....thank you Reflections
Hell yeah great to see you guys back at it !
Crazy seeing you here bro!
The one, the only... bXd
Hell ya stoked to see you here bXd. Makes me like you and your channel even more lol
dude...youre in every comment section of every band i like and many other vidsa s well...i feel like we would have INSANELY similar youtube home pages lmao
First it was Måsstaden and Thousands of Evils, and now this?? Buster has been absolutely killing it lately.
Once I saw his name on the post I had to look this up! He has been a busy man. Very talented.
Wait... They vildjharta re did those albums too? Or did buster remaster em?
@@timmykephart Buster was given access to the original recordings, and he re-amped the guitars, bass, made new drum tracks, and re-mixed and re-mastered both albums.
@@IntelCorei9-7980XE how did I not know this?! I follow every member on multiple different platforms 😭 guess I got a bunch of music to listen to lol
@@timmykephart yep dude got all Vildhjarta vinyl now got 1 original and 2 of the Forte versions buster remix and mastered. This shit is next for the collection !! 🤘🏼
Buster is a treasure amongst mankind
This Album changed my fucking life. Thank you for remaking it
I’m bricked tf up for this. This shit hasn’t got me feeling like this since I first discovered northlane in discoveries and when they finally dropped singularity!
This is so much better than the original. It really shows how much Jake has improved on vocals
cant back that statement
There are vocal passages that I really appreciate on the OG like the lyrics they took out of an artifact. Also the ghost snares on advance upon me are gone. However this is the best redux of an album I’ve ever heard. Bands try and fail. This one killed. Sounds like it came out yesterday. Music, production, and everything in between.

Such a banging Album, glad I stumbled across this today.
I absolutely cannot believe that this actually exists. But, I mean, is reality really realistic? 🤷♂️ hopefully one day, you guys will re-drop that Sandblasted Skin cover 💖
That would be so sick! Such a good cover!
The likelihood of reality being real is about as likely as it isn't. Both states are the same. :D
When I first checked The Fantasy Effect I always wished the production was a little better. Just now, I was once again listening to the old version thinking... Damn, this needs a remake and luckily scrolled down the results a bit and saw this! Great job.
Second half of And Found still makes me wanna cry to this day bro
🖤
Is reality really realistic?

We need a Reflections Guitar plugin, now!
fortin nameless baybee
i discovered this band last night and my mind has been blown by how devestatingly heavy this band is
❤❤❤❤ I loved this album. now that it's remastered, it is so perfect. a Djent masterpiece classic
Very beautiful work 🤝
25:08
The buildup to the breakdown here, is so fucking chill inducing. I’m about to start bouncing around in the aisles at work man. FUCKK
I already do in the aisles at work 😮💨
One of the best parts of any song ever.
So dope

Never expected you to be here Kunjora. You have some great taste in music
Oh damn. I hadn't heard of that gig. Guessing they will rearrange at some point?
Someone fucking tell me why the hell this is the first fime I'm seeing this. Ive had this album on my old ipod classic for like a decade.
I saw these guys live in like 2011 or something. It melted me.
I can't believe this album is a decade old already.
I remember jamming out to this on the way to work everyday, good times lol.
I’m so happy they kept the Ron Burgandy clip
Rotations just melts your face off.
Djent's masterpiece
I remember the first time I listened to the album and it was something so surprising, simple and made me shocked with how technical and beautiful it was, today listening to this redux I have the same feelings, thank you greetings from Brazil
br00tal!

This album the best forever. RFT first band me the Djent song. Wonderful happy
Who else thinks that the lead near the end of Rotations should've been louder? :( Other than that this is a great remake, thank you so much guys! Been a fan for a decade
And Found always hits so different man
While i miss they rawness of the original its nice to hear the clarity in the notes
These solos are insane
I’ve put this on repeat for work just about every shift. I’m glad you uploaded it in its entirety. There are some parts here and there from the OGs that I miss. But this really does the album I’ve listened to for over a decade some serious justice.
so many different things going on i love it

This album seems like a dream, 10 years memories ballanced by distance
Yes
Thanks!
OMG BRO IM CRYING
why has no one even ssaid anything about this, holy fuk this is top teir!!!!!!
the powers that be don’t like us getting any attention. so glad you enjoy it 😁
This album deserved a do over, I loved it back in the day but that mix is hard to enjoy now days, for me at least. So glad y’all decided to do this, SO FUCKING HEAVY
please release this on vinyl its the best djent album ever made and EVEN BETTER now
we did!! it sold out very quickly 😅 will look into doing more variants!!
@@ReflectionsMN oh boi if y'all do, then y'all already got my wallet lol. Super upset at myself for missing that run
So pumped this album was redone. The original was fantastic so getting this is a real treat.
God damn, boisss 💀💀💀🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Holy fuck what a fenomenal work. Thank you so much for this, i'm gonna enjoy this one for another 10 years.
awesome
Fuuuuck yes! Hope to see Reflections live again someday! 🙌🔥🔥🔥🤟
I'm constantly listening to the older albums, pure gold 🙏🏻
I guess im crazy, because i always loved how tfe sounded. Was a really original sounding production I felt like. But i love that cd so much i cant help but love this one too. Especially driving with the windows down with this blaring.
this is one of if not my fav album. so this is so bad ass.
Yasss!
The intro had me head banging like a crab 🦀 ❤️
NO WAYYYY
Good Push slowed down sounds really good
this was the original tempo! we basically sped every song up by 5-10 bpm before we released original TFE because we played live with no click, so got used to playing all the songs alot faster 😂
Holy sh*t, I'm late to the party!
Like many, I'd only dreamed for this to happen. Glad I found this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
yaaass what a sound duude! guitars are CHONKY, vocal skill's INCREASED, drums are literally KILLING DEMONS right there
SO GLAD THIS IS A THING. BRINGS NEW LIFE TO SOMETHING I'VE LOVED FOR SO LONG
The one album that stuck with me ever since it came out. I can't believe i haven't heard it was remade until nearly 1 year later. Words cant even describe the emotion this gives me
I need a physical copy of this, 🔥🔥🔥
So Good, So Good!!
more info coming later today!!
@@ReflectionsMN I hope there’s new revamped merch for this specific record too. This was my shit wayyyyy back when. “…and found” and “an artifact” was my first listen from yall.
Damn, this takes me back.
I just woke up from a nap and seen this, am I still dreaming?
Yes!
woah
Good Push man what a throwback to high school and good times not worrying about anything
A masterpiece, the production of this remaster is insane 👏🏼
Wow this Redux goes hard. Absolutely love this album. Never gets old. And now we have a new version of each track to enjoy!! Yes haha!
Whoa how is this album a decade old now? Yall released it when I was in college still, kinda makes me feel old but nostalgic. Thank you for making this redux though. I'm loving the subtle changes and upgrades, especially the amazing production from Buster. It's like I'm rediscovering this LP all over again and I'm all the way here for it.
YO!!!!!!
Anyone else feel like "Lost" got way heavier I'm this redux? Huge fan!!
Arguably their best instrumental offering thus far.
Good timing, fellas. Just checked my subscriptions :) Hell fucking yeah.
I cant tell you how much we needed this.

Never thought this would ever be redone, but omg this is so amazing!!!! So grateful for Reflections and that they actually did this!! Love them
OMG one the most beloved albums is reduxd!!!! JEsus!
I think I've attuned to the rotations breakdown so many times my heart beat has me perpetually headbanging
I've yet to hear anything more possessing sounds mixed with absolutely gripping blasts in my life *hellish growl while stomping around the kitchen like a feral hell hound 🐺👑
Thank you guys! What a fantastic album!
My love for you guys will never change.
This snare is crushing. As the rest of the mix as well omg
I fucking love you reflections. 10 year anniversary tour for sure. I’d have 20 heads pull up to that show
Been listening to the you guys since this first came out in 2011 when I was a junior in high school and here I am 11 years later still listening to you guys 🤟
Been a blast gentleman 👏
