Monuments main strength has always been making some pretty great groove riffs. Yea people hate on Djent, but Monuments reminds us that Djent can be musical and not robotic sounding(cough cough Born Of Osiris).
Holy shit. The sound is so pumping but yet clear. Really nice balance. Cant believe the vocals still have so much space in the mix with whats all going on. Everythings awesome about that song.
This song continues the tradition of Monuments always having really solid second songs on their records!! Loving the multiple different vocal approaches in one song! This song has some serious groove!!
“So let it go! We can’t assume control! The only thing to hate is the hate in you!”, is my favourite part in the lyrics \m/ and Barreto’s screams are goddamn fire! Hope they visit Philippines soon!
0:45 Shades of Denis Stoff with these vocals, but with actual balls to back them up. I love Chris' new lower key vocal style, easier on his voice, and allows the grooves to drive the music, and oh lawd they do. I was a bit nervous about A.W.O.L. (didn't stop me from playing it at least twice a day) but hearing this convinces me that Phronesis might just be their best album to date, only time will tell though. Also 3:23 about time he put this in a song, he does it live often enough. XD
To all those who say that they are disappointed in the lyrics of Phronesis I have one thing to suggest. It's called self-projection, and you should learn about it. In fact, I have a slight feeling that the song itself is about self-projection. Peace.
See, I told you all not to worry ;) Monuments always deliver the goods. This is why they are one of the best metal bands out there at the moment. I especially love this song because it's a slightly new sound, but it still has that monuments vibe to it - you KNOW you're listening to monuments when you hear this. Also, that end groove nearly made me dislodge every vertebra in my neck from headbanging too hard.
I don't really get why people giving so much hate on this new album. Yes, songs became a bit lighter and some new lyrics are not that deep as we hope to hear, but the entire album sounds great! Every song off the album has got the good clean vocals and fuck, I've never heard something similiar to vocalist's voice. Its amazing. I met this band with this new album and I can't say that new one is worse. Guys, we have to be thankful for this band, that haven't become a pop shit like BMTH. New album of MMF disappointed me much more. Nothing to complain, IM GIVING A FAT LIKE FOR EACH SONG. GIMME MORE.
Am I the only Honduran 🇭🇳 who liked a song from this underrated progressive metal band? 🎸⚡️🤘 I don't know, but I love it and it's still a great song 🎵. I don't know why it's so underrated. Monuments should more popular worldwide, because their music is really good. Greetings, I'm from Honduras 🇭🇳🔥🎸⚡️🎵🤘.
@@Waltzhybrid92 no, It's only my opinion. I'm the source. I'm clearly speculating. Considering their FB page hasn't been updated in four months leads me to believe that there is reason for concern.
Absolutely lovely! I first discovered John's guitar playthrough, where the mix is biased towards guitar sound, obviously, and now I'm super happy to hear the proper album mix! Great work, Monuments, the wait for MIII seems to have been worth it!
Although it'll more than likely grow on me, on my first listen I'm failing to find something that grabs me by the balls and makes me think "this is fucking awesome" which has happened with like 95% percent of Monuments' songs. Hopefully this isn't setting the standard for the album. Edit: it's Chris vocals man, they won me over haha
I love Monuments' music, but both the new singles were sort of underwhelming for me and took a couple of listens to grow on me. I hope they didn't release the strongest songs on this album as singles.
The two previous albums (especially Amanuensis) are really "inspired" albums. The construction of lyrics and melodic vocal parts in The Amanuensis are very accurate and well contextualized. In these last two singles I found the "classic" Monuments, but only in the instrumental part...lyrics and clean vocals are below my expectations and hear this from one of the best modern metal bands out there really hurts. I think this new record is simply not for me...I hope I can contradict myself in the future...in any case...SICK INSTRUMENTAL!
I agree with the OP. The instrumentation is fantastic, but the lyrics don't really work. It's like Michael Jackson meets 80s glam metal. It's a shame considering how good Chris has been in the past, with amanuensis and his short stint with haunted shores. I love sp0nce though. So I must disagree with this other reply.
mercuryfaith... Amanuensis stopped me in my tracks about 4 months ago. I only came across this band because I was falling down a Periphery rabbit hole and Spotify decided it was time to make some alternative suggestions. :) I’ve been really looking forward to this album and when they dropped the first song I was like... oh no. BUT I did listen to AWOL without watching the lyrics video several times and it grew on me. I am WAY more optimistic hearing this track and I suggest not watching the lyrics as well. I have to keep reminding myself it took me 10,000 try’s to actually GET the genius of 10,000 days and now its my favorite album ever.
mercuryfaith nonono, i primi 2 dischi erano dei fottuti capolavori, dal chitarrista che ha letteralmente rivoluzionato un modo di fare prog con i fellsilent mi aspetto di più, gli ultimi due singoli sono carini ma hanno dei testi terribili..
First time listening: "Meh..." I lost track of how many times I've listened to this song, the chorus is one of the best I have ever heard in a long time
How is even possible this track doesnt have a millions views Already! I guess century forgot how to promote the good shit! Hail monuments the album is dope such as the production!
Can we just put those „i like it/i dont like it” comments aside for a second and just appreciate the sick riffage and overall composition and mix ? Hats down to all the people participating in composing/recording this material. Whether all of you like it or not, it is very nice that there are people down there who produce music with that level of paying attention to details. It took a shitload of hours and litres of sweat to get this piece of music from somebody’s brain to this particular place on youtube. I appreciate it, keep up doing the good job people.
Why do I love this song way more than AWOL? I usually prefer fast and heavy shit but damn this is such a good song and feel myself putting this on repeat for hours at a time. So glad Chris is back!
Olly Steele brought me here Am I the only one here that feels the Masato from Coldrain vibe whenever the part with “I can feel the way you move”, kicks in?

Paul De Guzman... Hard chuckle!
I can't believe I have never seen this exact comment before. Well done!
Best comentó ever
LMAO
The D is silent, hillbilly.
I... I can feel the way this song moves.
If that opening riff doesn't get your blood pumping, then you're not alive
Loving Barretos' vocals more and more everytime I listen to this
Yeah but you should listen to them live, not gonna like them😕😕😕
Best live perfomance I've ever seen so far. I don't understand all the hate against Chris?! He's a great guy!
he left. i'm so sad
@@myfaceisonfire6985 Andy Cizek is a fucking beast tho... but yeah sucks that he left but honestly I adore both of them
Man, honestly I like how they are adding different elements into these songs. This one sounds kinda poppy, and I honestly love it.
@jreecefwb Honestly its my honest pleasure, but my keyboard added words into it that i didn't see until now
This sounds like Djent meets Michael Jackson =D
I usually got some MJ vibes from Chris on the Amanuensis. It's cool to see he seems to be expanding on that influence here
Monuments jackson

ruclips.net/video/pIL7UsNXmAo/видео.html this is a bit closely to what you said
That's Monuments in a nutshell
Monuments main strength has always been making some pretty great groove riffs. Yea people hate on Djent, but Monuments reminds us that Djent can be musical and not robotic sounding(cough cough Born Of Osiris).
I use to say that every nine djent act there's a tenth who is actually good. Well, Monuments got the round number.
👍👍👍
Vitalism is robotic but I like it tho.
Oilid They ain’t recording single notes and merging them together in pro tools lol
Born of Billy Ray Osiris
Yea their newer stuff like silence the echo is universally hated lol. They are far far away from their glory days when they had Jason Richardson.
Holy shit. The sound is so pumping but yet clear. Really nice balance. Cant believe the vocals still have so much space in the mix with whats all going on.
Everythings awesome about that song.
Grooviest band ever! Luv u, guys. Forever!
Rhythmic masters. Really digging the different writing styles between Olly (first song) and Browne (this song).
Love that MJ groove, sick song dudes.
Mj groove ahahahahah !!!! Where! U crazy man LoL
no
@@Davide608 The chorus is very MJ-influenced.
@@redskullz1249 for me no
@@Davide608 it literally just sounds like Micheal Jackson it’s not a subjective thing that you can disagree or agree with
John Browne's down picking is other worldly.
Can we just all appreciate how Anup nailed tracking the drums for this song?
3:00-3:40 sounds like 40 Below Summer! Even has Max's garbled vocals, love it.
Yessiirrrr! I got a sick FLAW vibe from the guitars in parts of the song too
This is a great comparison actually, love to see someone mentioning 40 Below Summer. Max's uncleans always had this rawness to them that I loved
That drop at 3.01 is going to get a lot of people killed in the pit 😂
Insurance company heard it and immediately upped the premiums.
ANUS PASTRY bringing the tasty pastry to the table once again
lol he left the band seems before recording
@@user-cb8ls7zz4l And yet he still tracked the drums for this album.
ALSO ; CHIMP SPANNER !!!!!!!!!!
Apun Sayptr
He recorded drums for this album.
This song continues the tradition of Monuments always having really solid second songs on their records!! Loving the multiple different vocal approaches in one song! This song has some serious groove!!
“So let it go! We can’t assume control! The only thing to hate is the hate in you!”, is my favourite part in the lyrics \m/ and Barreto’s screams are goddamn fire! Hope they visit Philippines soon!
We need to change the lyric "Move" to "Groove" in that chorus, goddamn this is great.
This has to be one of the best songs I have heard in 2018
This is the song I was waiting for after hearing this riff teaser in the studio updates!
Another Metalcore band that’ll be stuck in my head forever
That's not really metalcore

totally thought that was electronically produced lol. who is iirc?
Shit I even thought it was Denis LOL
Oh my god yes. Super excited for this record!
so much groove. this is why monuments fucking kills.
the mix is the best yet
The riffs in this song are so groovy. Such a killer song
I'm a simple man. I see a new Monuments song; I click Like.
Much better than the last song
I really hope it's gonna get even better
The teasers from the recording episodes sound pretty tight.
Cristian Filip who knows it might end up great
opposite IMO
i totally disagree but it still rocks! i love this band!

This is fantastic. Very excited on this release
Dang it! When is Ever Forthright going to make more music? This song is baller, but I need me some jazz metal
Ever Forthright might be finished. Too much talent for too little recognition/reward. It's a fucking tragedy.
You have a source on that?
@@Waltzhybrid92 no, It's only my opinion. I'm the source. I'm clearly speculating. Considering their FB page hasn't been updated in four months leads me to believe that there is reason for concern.
The clean vocals are the standout, along with those awesome riffs.
DAAAAMN this is a good surprise!!
Heavy and groovy AF!!!
This might be my favorite song. This album sounds so good!
Monuments is Legend.
‘OH BUT ITS NOT YOUR FAULT’
Deffo my favorite part of the song
m3 is going to be a solid 15/10
1x10^(infinite+)/10
these two singles didn't deliver imo so I hope it gets better than this.
definitely gonna have this track on repeat all day long!
Hollyyyy really liking the riffs this time, heavy and almost nu metal like but with brain and more groove, shits HOT
Sean Brown guitars are gnosis-era. First song oli and JB made together or some shit like that. It was on facebook
Mans not hot
I'd have to agree. It's got a NU metal vibe to it.
Nu Djent
I cant wait to you Monuments ! We meet at Robot in Budapest ! ;) ! :D
We won't haha, new venue :P
Awesome song! Can't wait to play with you guys in May!
This is incredible. This is art.
I sob at the thought of The Amanuensis having this level of production quality. This song rips
Absolutely lovely! I first discovered John's guitar playthrough, where the mix is biased towards guitar sound, obviously, and now I'm super happy to hear the proper album mix!
Great work, Monuments, the wait for MIII seems to have been worth it!
Guitar tones are perfect
having a relationship with the replay button
Would love a colab song with Howard jones and sevendusts singer. All 3 of your guys vocals together could shatter souls.
Fantsastic Work, Monuments :)
Mr. Browne, this is some heavy shit, mah men!
I’m so glad you all are coming back😩😍
Although it'll more than likely grow on me, on my first listen I'm failing to find something that grabs me by the balls and makes me think "this is fucking awesome" which has happened with like 95% percent of Monuments' songs. Hopefully this isn't setting the standard for the album.
Edit: it's Chris vocals man, they won me over haha
with your periphery thumbnail? i thought you'd love it on the spot
@@adamland12345 haha on about the 3rd listen I loved it, can't stop listening to it now dude
Honestly their music always seems uninspired. I only like the debut when it came out, can't listen to it now
If you haven't, go watch John Browne's playthrough. You'll gain a new respect for this song.

I assume the reason is because Amanuensis is heavily a concept album hence the lyrics are so deep and poetic. Maybe Phronesis wont be another one
I like the vocals! (And the everything else)
Lots of 90s/early 00s nu/alt vibes in this song and I like it. Music goes around, you know!
0:09 B R Y E H
Makes a difference from "Bleurgh!"
First time listening: "Meh..."
I lost track of how many times I've listened to this song, the chorus is one of the best I have ever heard in a long time
WHAT A BANGER 🙌🏻
THAT IS SICK ! BUT MY EYES GONE
This is Straight Fire.
Well done! Absolute banger of a tune! So much energy in this one!
Yehhhhh This Is Damn AWESOME
Really Kickass!!!!!
One Of The Best In 2018 ...
love the oh its not your fault. such sass such badass
In my opinion MONUMENTS is the best band
The first time on YT I followed an add to it‘s origin and honestly I am glad I did!
This is amazing.
I really wish there was a club near me that would play this, i would destroy that dance floor! See you in Manchester!
They're proving that they're at the same level of periphery
I need more of this Rythym, This Guitar-Drum play is Just F-ing awesome
From the first second you can tell this is going to be good song. What a song to ride to! Thanks guys🤘🤘

@@damianciupinski2614 fuck sorry my man....it been a rough month to say the least 😂 what ya think though 🔥🔥🔥
I want this album asap!
Wow, there is so much Sikth in it, I love it!
That drum fill at 1:27 cut in so quick I was sure it was a glitch.
This sounds like a Flux Conduct song, but slightly better. I can dig it.
Top quality dah-jent
That ending riff makes me grit my teeth and want to shove my head through the wall🤘😤
I get the feeling that although I'm gonna enjoy this album sonically, the lyrical content is gonna really let me down
The vocal delivery makes up for it plenty. Just pull an Amaneusis and try to figure out the lyrics by ear instead of reading some official lyrics
Even the instruments, it all sounds the same. I get bored listening to it. Shit music to be honest
It's not even about comparing the lyrics to that of the previous album...they're just so safe and empty in my opinion
Moisés Figueiredo what a pathetic piece of garbage you are, to come on a newly released song that you don't like and post your shit opinion.
this is the internet
Amazing !
Why do I love this song way more than AWOL? I usually prefer fast and heavy shit but damn this is such a good song and feel myself putting this on repeat for hours at a time. So glad Chris is back!
I love it!!!
Should be a UFC walkout track 🤘🤘🤘
The "Now place your bets" part really solidifies that statement lol
Now we’re fucking TALKING!!!
I like this better than the previous song reminds me of early monuments
this is gold!
Sick song!! Can't wait to hear the Álbum. Respect lml
Congrats John and Monuments, sounds killer!
More grooves than a goddamn vinyl record.
have to be grateful for listening MONUMENTS'S NEW SONG!

Still on repeat!
ready to go...wooooooo
Very Good!!!
Straight fire!!! The bridge has fucking epic groove to vocals!
WOOOAH EPIC AS ALLWAYS....
Goddamn the groove is fucking contagious
Definetly buying this album!
