My dude. This is good. Keep it up. I particularly loved the piano example overlay stuff to illustrate what you’re saying about melodies and chord progressions. That’s brilliant 👏🏻
Thanks for checking it out!! I'm editing an analysis of Take Me Back to Eden and I think I found a better layout for the piano stuff.
Is an unbelievable album from the boys they are my favourite band for a reason. Its such a shame we will never hear Ryan playing guitar ever again really going to leave a big hole in the band. Really liked your analysis of the album mate non bias good to hear!
It’ll be interesting to see the direction the band takes moving forward. They tend to use real-life experiences and themes in their music, and Jamie especially channels a lot of real pain and anger into his vocals. We might see some dark, heavy stuff from them on their next album.
Polaris in my opinion, take the modern metalcore formula and make it as best as it can be, great reaction btw, gives a lot of insight into each song and songwriting.
I respect your opinion. But i love alot of the choruses on the album. Dissipate is one of my favorite of the year.
I agree with Dissipate being #1
Dissipate is track of the year, and Fatalism is album of the year
Awesome video! This was my album of the year, and I think what they're doing for songwriting is refreshing. Big fan of their musicians as a whole
Check out my top albums of the year video if you haven't already. This one was up there
I know you didn't love the chorus in Dissipate but seeing it live changed my mind about it. It's absolutely huge live.
Subbed! Such a good analysis. Good shit, man.
Thanks for watching!
just a great vid man. One of my top 5 bands oat, went to Vienna this March to see them, but they had to cancel because Dan (drummer) got sick... Loved the reaction too, and i like how you explain your criticism, instead of just saying "bad". Keep it up!
Thanks!!
One of the best reactions I’ve seen. Easily my favorite band, would love to see you react to their other albums. Loved how you explained your criticism. New subscriber.
Thanks for checking it out! I've got plenty more coming! A little bit later today, I'm uploading a video analyzing both måsstaden albums from vildhjarta if you're into them
this is old obviously but i will say my personal experience with Polaris has always been that they're an earworm kind of band, i've followed them for over a decade and almost all their albums/songs are good on the first listen but grow on you even more after repeat listens, hope they do/did for you even if your initial thoughts were already positive, glad you liked them.
Enjoy the grind brotha! Love the content 🤘🏽🔥
Thanks!!
Thank you for your solid reaction. It's one of my aoty. What particularly captivated me about this album was basically the message and lyrical layer. I just love what Polaris delivers. I understand it and I find my own experiences in it. Fantastic music to me. "Inhumane" is like a galloping horse 👍
So glad I found this video, love your reaction style! Edit: Completely different genre, but if you haven't heard of Caligula's Horse, I would love to see a full album reaction of In Contact. It's a journey you won't forget!
I'll add it to my list!
Appreciate your Reaction and technical analyzis, I would really like you to react to their previous Album (The death of me) Tapy stuff are very common in Polaris, I love it
I definitely want to hear more of them!
just a man enjoying his music. love it.
Yep that's me
Love your reaction. Not too many pauses! 😊
Thank you!!
Thanks for giving an honest review till the end! Polaris is my favorite band and tbh this album wasn’t for me when it first came out, but over time it’s become one of my favorite to return to almost every day. Songs are weird like that lol
I don't know if you've seen any of my other videos where I've mentioned it, but this album really grew on me over time. It made it into my top albums of the year video
I'm a HUGE Polaris fan... and even with the cons you mentioned, I still loved this review. You were honest with educational background and understanding, but you weren't a tool about it. I really respect and appreciate that!
This album has grown on me a ton since my first listen! I'm planning on doing a monthly "podcast" where I talk about how my opinions have changed on all the music I listened to so I'll be talking about Polaris in that first video for sure
@@coreyclip1 love this! I look forward to seeing this podcast when it drops. Thank you again for this reaction!
@@nikkocostantin8295 thanks for watching!
enjoyed your reaction and genuine thoughts, have you ever heard northlane? their album alien or obsidian are both excellent albums imo, i do enjoy most of the choruses like the chorus for Inhumane but each to their own
I've heard Alien but that's all I've heard from them
Parasites is by far my favourite. I wasn’t sure why but I never got on board with the choruses in many of the songs you had a problem with, involving the sticking to the 5ths. I put it down to them sounding a little too “pop-y” and common for me, but now I know the real reason. I call Parasites the Hypermania of the Fatalism album because it sticks out to me as a much more interesting and intense song compared to the others
So ive waited to watch this because i was worried my views would change about this album which i believe is my top for the year. And some of it is true but you helped me understand things throughout the songs i wouldnt know otherwise. Regardless of the chorus in Dissipate hanging on that 5th note, the lyrics hit me hard making it my top song for 2023. Thanks for your input!
All the songs have grown on me a lot since my first listen. I'm still not a big fan of the 5ths I'm those choruses but I don't really hate them
@@coreyclip1 Just like you mentioned at the end of the video, everyone likes different things and listens to music in their own ways. Currently starting to watch 'The Death of Me' Album reaction. Find me over there lol ✌️
@@ChevChamp35 nice!
Polaris is like my favorite metal band, but I feel so validated finally hearing someone else mention the thing about metalcore bands beating the 5th to death lmao
It's just lazy writing imo
One of the best reactions I’ve watched man great stuff, I don’t know if you’ve ever checked out imminence but their newest song “heaven shall burn” is up there for my song of the year,would like to hear your thoughts
I'll check it out! Unfortunately, I'm going away for the weekend so I won't have any videos out until the start of next week at the earliest, but I'll add that to my list
Judging by what you've said during this reaction (Great reaction btw) I think you'd really enjoy Fromjoy's self-titled from this year. They are different than a lot of other "modern" bands in the genre. The big thing is they don't do the chord progression peeve you have with choruses. I think it happens in one verse thats sang by a feature and not in any of the choruses on the record.
Ooh cool, I'm interested in different stuff! I'll add it to my huge list of stuff to check out, but if you want me to react to it instantly you can request it on my Patreon (link in description). Just if you want to ;)
immediate 3 you should consider doing a vid for (if you haven't heard):
Loathe - I Let It in & It Took Everything
Invent Animate - Heavner
ERRA - (self-titled)
enjoy.
I have vids on all three of those!
Can't wait for the new Silent Planet album review! Also, I'm sure you've already listened to all of Poilaris' stuff, but Masochist might have my favorite melody ever.
I haven't listened to Polaris' other stuff, but I'll be checking them out!
@@coreyclip1 hell yeah! Love your reviews man. Looking forward to more in the future!
Bro reacted the same way we all did to the outro breakdown of dissapate lmao
For me, this band is one of the greatest foundations of Australian modern metal for me, alongside Northlane.
I really am a fan of your analysis, and I like to see you react to Northlane's "Alien" album, they somewhat bent the genre of modern metal, influenced by those dark, techno, electronic touch.
38:20 pursuit of happiness by kid cudi aswell B)
True, I'm pretty sure Pursuit of Happiness is in the exact same key too
If you really want an album with insane transitions, just overall amazing album, listen to The Lotus Chapters by Above, Below.
I'll add it to my list!
Love and hate your opinions 🤟. And that’s what’s great about this music. Hits us all different. I enjoy some cliche same old same old as long as it’s perfected. Don’t want it to dissipate 😉
I've been listening to this record a lot over the past few days and it's really grown on me, especially With Regards. That's probably my favorite song now
@@coreyclip1 Almost every song on the album has grown on me, especially Parasites. Part of it is just how great some of the lyrics are. Also, really agree with your example about staying around the 5th, always bugs me too. However for some reason that didn't bother me at all in Dissipate. I think I just really liked the guitar/drums with the chorus that the whole thing felt better. Rather than the other examples you gave where the choruses felt a lot more reliant on the vocals.
@@pancakesama7614 I always listen to the music the first time around and check out the lyrics on subsequent listens. I have to take it all in in doses to really enjoy it. The lyrics are amazing now that I've given them a proper listen
@@coreyclip1I feel one of the great things about Polaris is that their songs are growers. Eventually you come to love most of their music over time 😊 Dissipate is my favorite off the album 😁
shit yeah your rating at the 17 minute mark is exactly my reaction
10 minutes into the reaction and I gotta say I love your reaction style!
If you want to have your mind blown by a metalcore album from this year - "Heavener" by Invent Animate is a bliss 🤩🤩
Haha I was called out during Dissipate 😂😂
Loooooool I was waiting for that 😂😂 I'm not the biggest fan of heavener but I see why people love it
@@coreyclip1 Sorry dude, I am on the mission to spread the word about Invent wherever I go:D
But it's fine that not everyone can appreciate them. It actually took me 2 albums to start doing it properly. However, now I have arrived at Heaven :)
@@coreyclip1Anyways, another band that I like to talk about is a French band called "Resolve". Their album Human is such a unique blend of everything
@@antonmakovetskyi8350 never heard of them. I'll check it out
As someone who absolutely loves all of Polaris’ work prior to this album I found myself fairly disappointed and even bored during the choruses specifically. Love pretty much everything else but couldn’t figure out why those choruses sounded so generic so I really appreciate you demonstrating how the writing affects that. Subbed😁
Thanks!!
Fit for a kings newer album “ the hell we create” is I think at least really damn good it’s kinda like their older style
Yeah that's a good one. FFAK was one of the bands that got me into heavy music so they'll always hold a special place in my heart
I suggest you listen to (Psychonaut) , they make you crazy, they are a Belgian band ....
CHECK OUT THE WISE MANS FEAR! They have a crazy BADASS story! 🤘😎
I was lucky enough to see Polaris live a few weeks back, these boys are even better live! Jamie is the perfect front man and Jake backs him up perfectly. I had the privilege of chatting to Jake for a bit, such a down to earth dude. If you get the chance, you have to go see these guys, they do not disappoint.
I'd love to see them live after I check out some of their older stuff!
Nice analysis! I've also been feeling disappointed about a lot of the choruses in new releases and now that you've explained it i actually know why it feels that way.
On a side note, i would really enjoy you covering "The Generation of Danger" by Tallah in the same manner. While i dont know if you'll like the general Nu- Metalcore style that record checks off all the things you said you liked about albums (and i personally love it).
Matriphagy is one of my favorite albums ever but somehow I've never heard Generation of Danger. That could be a good one to review!
@@coreyclip1 If you get around to it i'll sure be looking forward to that. :)
@@newpardingam6853 that'll probably be my next album review video
there's no way you don't blow up to 10k subs within a year or two
I got almost 100 subs in the past day from vildhjarta sharing my latest video so that 10k goal doesn't seem to unrealistic!
Architects(2012-2018) are considered as top class modern metalcore
I'm bored with this kind of metalcore as well (the clean/higher pitched chorus thing with the heavier sound), but this album is amazing, great melodies, riffs and songwriting. Guess I'm not the only one! :-)
It's only grown on my since I made this video! I want to do more Polaris
@@coreyclip1 that's cool man, had the same thing. You might have ruined '5th focused' choruses now for me though haha!
Polaris has the “It” factor…forever
Why is the music so quiet? please make the music next time louder, thanks! :)
Yeah this was early on in my channel so things were a bit off. I have a bit better of an audio setup now!
