Really cool to hear you break down the drum parts and how you catch what the drummer does to throw you off. It shows you have a good understanding of not only guitar and bass, but in rythm and music in general. I'm a progressive drummer myself it is easier to lock down and count whatever smart pattern this guy has arranged. But even for me, there are times I need to listen several times before I understand what the heck is going on!!! Nice work!
I"ll be honest. I LOVE Jinjer, but I every song there are always 1 or 2 sections that I struggle with 'getting'. Then after 2 or 3 listens I finally get it - and then I can't get it out of my head! Then once you get it, there are so many little subtle things they throw at you. Like that last time that section plays at the end of the song, I can't help but hear Eugene just tearing it up. Anyway, great reaction as always. So many others focus primarily on Tati (and she is amazing), but I really enjoy hearing your insights on the instruments and composition. Kudos!
You should do the Tatiana one take of this song. I think it would be perfect for you to be able to focus only on her. I am like you and always focus on the instrumentation and vocals only as a melody, but that version really showcases how unbelievable her talent is! 🤘
An interesting side note on their play with time signature is if you watch good vocal coaches, say charismatic voice, they pick that up quickly and marvel at how difficult it is for a vocalist to stay on point with the signature changes and Tatiana makes it seem easy. Whole band is meshed and pure professional.
I wouldn't say Vlad throws me off more than normal in this song. That's not saying he doesn't though, but rather that he always does. I can't even count the number of times I have hit my air-snare completely off Vlad's beat. Really love the way he plays.
I totally agree with this. I reckon Vlad's a high-IQ, low-boredom-threshold, -kinda dude, so keeps things interesting for himself as much as anything!... & imho it tends to make for super-refreshing compositions. :)
I watched this as soon as the notification came up. Loved it! In my opinion you do the best breakdown of artists I've seen. I really appreciate hearing your expertise in music. Of course I was blown away like many on Tatiana's vocals but always thought the other musicians were amazing and it's great to see an expert give them props. I'm not in a position to donate to your channel but will absolutely do so when I can. Keep up the great work! Not sure if Jinjer's (Who's Gonna bee the One) has been recommended to you but if you get a chance it is well worth a listen ruclips.net/video/U6rv5qi8-8s/видео.html All the best, John
Your reactions and analysis are always so spot on! You always make me hear smalll details in the songs that I never noticed even if I listened to them a hundred times!
.....yeah cuz...you are the best ive seen for jinjer analysis......good stuff...have you done "whos gonna be the one" live?....if not please do...my favorite stage performance by them on the tube.....peace......
It's Jinjer time and I will always be here for that. You are correct sometimes I have to listen to a song a couple of times to get it too . But it's jinjer and I love that about them. I like your breakdowns of music and find it informative. Peace from Stan the Alaskan.
Very cool blend of genres by Jinjer and a great reaction as always. Can´t wait for Retrospection, top banger and a favourite! It has something like a very eastern-european sound to it, I can´t really put my finger on it, maybe you can decompose it better! And like people already suggested, try "Who´s Gonna Be The One" live. The audio is great so you won´t miss much from the studio version and it´s a hell of a performance from the four of them, everyone has a spot to shine on it. Great stuff man, keep up the great vids. Cheers.
There are plenty of Jinjer songs where it’s fun to play “guess where Vlad will place the snare hits.” Aside from the reggae bits, the biggest reaction I had to this song on first listen was trying to decipher that “chorus” section and find the placement of those snare hits. Vlad has a very unique clock and makes the resulting music super interesting.
Love to hear the reaction of someone who really appriciate the others in the band, they often are ignored by reactors. Dont worry Tatiana gets enough attention on the other reaction channels 😅
The part in particular you were having a hard time with finding the groove, I never really honed in on that part of it, but my ears as a guitar plyer went strait to the cool sounding cord choices and melody Tatiana does over the top there, those two things always stood out to me first. The beat/drums always melded into the background for me. That part of the song was always about the textures and melody.
I find the "nod" to not change at all throughout the song, but im nodding to the guitar during the part that you were confused by. i think it takes over the beat during that part then goes back to bass and drums for the rest. maybe? commenting on a musician's channel always makes me wary cuz what do i know honestly lol
the strange drum parts add to the chaos i think. almost like dissonant chords, but with timing instead of pitch. interesting how her vocals are easy to follow the beat on the the drums seem so hectic
This chorus is so cool! And I remember being very thrown off by it at first - felt pretty uncomfortable! Now, different story. Nothing but appreciation for the composition.
I was first attracted to JInjer because of the band and their unique sound. I wonder if it is because they are from Eastern Europe and are somewhat divorced from what is considered "traditional" in western Europe and the States. I recognized Tatiana as a great vocalist but I almost think of most vocalists as different from the musicians. Singers sing and musician's play. I've come to regard Tatiana as a true musician and artist as are Roman, Vlad and Eugene. "Awe"...
I can’t believe you’ve not done Jinjer-Who’s Going To Be The One yet. It’s got a similarity to this song. Addendum: the (live) from Napalm Records with 9.8 million views.
@@JWSoundworks2 No worries at all. Great movie. And you knowing the year it was released off the cuff like that was impressive. I saw it in the theater as a teenager and was blown away.
@@Neal_RUclips I was only 2 when it came out, so I didn't make it to that one, unfortunately 😂. What a movie, though. The first film is unbeatable, so Cameron did exactly the right thing by not trying to do it again but instead go his own way. I sway back and forward between thinking which one of those two is the best!
The point about the song being played on acoustic guitar is great. I think I've heard it before and I'm thinking about The Beatles but I'm not exactly sure that's where I heard that idea. More like some other musician telling that and I thought of Beatles after that.
You just need to watch Roman’s guitar playthrough of Judgement and Punishment to see what is happening in chorus ruclips.net/video/xVOpcz5DSHc/видео.html
Another solid analysis of a Jinjer song- good stuff. Not sure if I'm just being super-picky cos I listen to these thru a discrete Creative soundcard & a decent pair of Sennys, but in this one the levels from yer mic seem a bit shouty, & then whatever noise gate you're running it thru is quite distracting. Like I say tho, it's probably just me, so feel free to ignore my moaning! LOL All the best from sunny Dundee as always. :)
Yeah man, I've been experimenting with my mic recordings. I bought a new rode "podcast" mic recently and I'm struggling to find the sweet spot with it. For some reason it wants to be rode (no pun intended lol) hard. Like, I need to have the input on my interface at pretty much MAX otherwise it doesn't pick me up properly. And so it's kind of all or nothing. I'm also having to use an aggressive noise gate as the heat in my room is so unbearable that I have a fan running incessantly during the video that is wild loud. You'll find the next series of reactions all suffer the same fate, unfortunately (as I managed to batch record quite a few over the weekend). I haven't given up on trying to improve it though!
@@JWSoundworks2 I was guessing you were right up on the mic with a noise gate because you were having to resort to fans just now. Who'd've thunk Scotland & Norn Ireland would be needing fans, eh?! I'm pretty sure most folks listening to stuff on mobiles & cheap wee desktop speakers will hardly notice, so I don't reckon it'll be a problem for you. :)
They play 6/8 measure in the places you struggle. Actually they play 6/8 mostly in this song. In some places Vlad plays two in these threes. It's little bit complicated but it also feels nice to me. Be safe ✌🏻
Pretty sure Vlad is reversing the beat on half steps, once every 3 bars which returns to the start after 12. ( Something like that ) Which is why it feels hiccup-y. I like it tbh, good vision.
I think you haven't touched "Ape" yet. I really look forward to watching your reaction to its tiMe sig nAtuReS. I think the less you listen, the less you'd like and vice f. versa.
If I was a scientist, interested in music and human motricity, I'd "kidnap" Vlad and put him through a battery of brain tests and motion analysis. I really would like to know how that guy can do such a variety of different things with both hands and feet simultaneously, while being completely counter-intuitive at times. :D 13:46 - I'm almost 100% positive that Vlad doesn't resort to samples. He doesn't need to, really, his drums sound so naturally good. What you're hearing might simply be the result of the conjugation of 2 or 3 snare mics.
Hell yes! I discovered Avatar because I discovered Jinjer. Funny how one band can break down mental barriers a person has and expose them to a whole new genre or sub genre of music.
I really want to love this song but those sections where you mentioned her specific vocal affectations to go with the reggae sound just really... rub me the wrong way. Like maybe even borderline offensive. It just didn't seem at all necessary imo. The rest of her performance and the band as a whole absolutely killed it as usual though. Appreciate hearing your thoughts, great reaction!
They didn't bother me, fortunately. But I TOTALLY get you. I've had the same reaction to things like that in other songs - were they are so distractingly jarring that I can't get over it lol. Edit - I'm talking purely about musical inflections (ie. The sound of the singer's voice might sound whiney, or the guitar tone is grating etc.). I wasn't offended by anything.
@@StuTheMoose At this point doing accents from cultures you don't belong to is fairly frowned upon. A lot of cultural appropriation convos online can be over the top and unproductive but they're literally profiting from the use of it. It's not the end of the world, obviously, just felt off and didn't sit well with me. Will still check out their new stuff, would be a bit suprised if they don't recieve a bit of backlash, but I'm way off and spend too much time in leftie circles. Or both lol.
@@chacecampbell2697 the songs 2 years old & yeah.........you’re way,way off. This a seriously bizarre take,it’s like saying the Beastie Boys were offensive because they rapped,lookout Eminem 😆

Appreciate that, Leo. Cheers, man! 🤘
Totally true. I may be a virgin to this prog/multilayered music until Jinjer, but damn it's feels good peeling those layers as they sink in.
...so true...i like every one of their songs off the bat....then listen to it a thousand more times to find out why...best band on planet earth....

Metalcore + reggae + prog metal ? Im used to it, such a awesome song. Love your explanation on the drum pattern/section.
Can't wait for retrospection! One of my favorite tracks by them
You shan't have long to wait, Kieran. Already filmed it :)
@@JWSoundworks2 Nice! Can't wait for that one

Was going to comment myself, but you covered everything I was going to say, so yeah. What this guy ^ said :)
Thanks guys. Appreciate the support and kind words! 👌🤘 😎
Yes, definitely do "Who´s Gonna Be The One" live, the audio is top notch, the song is a banger and every band member has a part to shine.
Your reactions and analysis are always so spot on! You always make me hear smalll details in the songs that I never noticed even if I listened to them a hundred times!
That makes it worthwhile then! Glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for the appreciative words!
I've never seen this official video before...It's fucking bananas
There is a one take vocal performance by Tatiana of this on RUclips you may wish to see for your own enjoyment! Stay safe 🤘✌
Yeah. Puts a whole new perspective to the song.
.....yeah cuz...you are the best ive seen for jinjer analysis......good stuff...have you done "whos gonna be the one" live?....if not please do...my favorite stage performance by them on the tube.....peace......
Not yet, dude! Cheers!
After the line “put it to the test”… it reminds me so much of Faith No More King for a Day….
Don't forget to listen to the live version of The Mara Effect by Spiritbox ;-)
It's Jinjer time and I will always be here for that. You are correct sometimes I have to listen to a song a couple of times to get it too . But it's jinjer and I love that about them. I like your breakdowns of music and find it informative. Peace from Stan the Alaskan.

I came back! Great work you’re musical iq is very high I like the way you explain things
Love how deep you go in these analyses, great job. Looking forward to Retrospection!
I struggled exactly the same way as you did in those parts haha, took me a couple listens to "get it".
I appreciate the note on the deftones. I love when music, for some reason, reminds me of a random other song.
I think Vlad does like to make it complex to keep it interesting, some of his cymbal work in Vortex was also very puzzling the first few listens
I find the "nod" to not change at all throughout the song, but im nodding to the guitar during the part that you were confused by. i think it takes over the beat during that part then goes back to bass and drums for the rest. maybe? commenting on a musician's channel always makes me wary cuz what do i know honestly lol

The silly figurines doing their stuff is a fun touch, a bit autoironic. Appreciate your insights as always, JW.
I like the OMV for this song. It explains the lyrics and the reggae parts. Never had any trouble catching the beat.
This chorus is so cool! And I remember being very thrown off by it at first - felt pretty uncomfortable! Now, different story. Nothing but appreciation for the composition.

Which is best, Alien or Aliens? Yes.

This part, after a blast, resembles a bit of fascination with the classic death or brutal death like a Cannibal C.
Thx for video
Their playthrough without Tatiana are really awesome. In few of them, they are together, but they have all own videos, really hypnotizing!
You just need to watch Roman’s guitar playthrough of Judgement and Punishment to see what is happening in chorus
