Hey Dru, thanks for an honest and detailed reaction to this new DLoops tune. Personally, for me, coming from classical music and jazz, this HAS got to be one of the catchiest and most addictive songs by DL, ever…. it’s funny how perspectives can vary so wildly, and there simply is no way of arguing about taste ;) So Jonah’s playing, the way he creates counterpoint and countermelodies in both hands simultaneously, the contrasting sections in the song, that badass drop there before that bridge section, -it’s just all so dope for me, not just on a music nerd level, but as a deeply satisfying musical experience. But hey, each to their own. And I really appreciated your breakdown of some of it. With these new releases from their upcoming album, I feel that “Run Away” was Henrik’s spot to shine, this one here was Jonah’s, and I’m guessing the next one will be inspired by Aron Insanity! Would love for you to break down/analyze more DLoops 👍 howbout some of their earlier covers, or “Work…”, or their Samsung Galaxy ringtone version? That would be awesome and super interesting! Cheers 🤟🤘✌️
Forgot: Henrik’s frets on both the basses which he plays here, are True Temperament Frets, custom made in this case, for him by Mattisson Basses, and designed to give an allround better result on intonation on his bass, -a general problem for guitarists playing with frets, since the pitch of one note can be severely out in chords, in certain keys, as well as when playing higher up on the instrument. Henrik said that it’s not perfect, but better than normally-fretted basses…. As a string player, you can’t win with intonation, ever 😉 and he’s had to retune his older basses, sometimes for every single chord or key change, on his earlier recordings.
Wow thank YOU for the detailed comment and analysis! I’m realizing I need to hone in more on Jonah’s playing and take that all in. And crossing my fingers that the next one will have Aron pulling out all the chops!
OMG they have done it again ..Fantastic !! if this not the new Bond movie theme then this should be, even the title for a Bond movie fits , James Bond in 'When the time is right'...they need to be commissioned to write a Bond Theme or some other Epic movie score...best band on the planet at present.
I sorta get you, and i realize, in my case, extremely high hopes have a tendency to let you down a bit, however -this also grows on me with every listen, i find
They always have a lot of credits... The song is wonderful, I totally love it! Each for his own. Maybe you search for the next note to much? That is what makes it so interesting and mind-pleasing for me, but I am not a musician, so...
I get the feeling of underwhelming but for me it’s more that it feels cut short. Its so epic and it was building and building. Should have been a 6 minutes song, even if nothing new was added. Just let us stay in the moment and feeling a little bit longer. Also feels like they are exploring. Jonah has said in interviews that he would like to pursue film scoring. So this to me felt like a song with that in mind. Not there best or most typical song but still love it and love that they have the courage to go on a journey and explore. Keep us guessing and keep us surprised and amazed! 🙌🏻
They always leave you hangning - wanting for more! Loved your reaction! But the song actually doesn't stop with the subtitles - if you listen to it on iTunes f.ex. the music from the subtitles is a part of the track ;-)
@@ellenstergaardgravesen1011 The way the strings belatedly come back in reminds me of "It's all nothing until it's everything" on Knower Forever, (which also climaxes in an insane piano solo).
You need to have a few listens before you understand. This song showcases Jonas’ piano playing and love for classical music. To me it’s a brilliant composition, not at all disappointing.
Been a fan of DL for maaany years and absolutely LOVE all their stuff. This was the first time a new song didn't really do much for me. They're insanely skilled, but this was too much blipblop and six hundred different piano chords for me. Matter of taste, of course.
I agree, it’s not my favorite DL song. My take is that they are trying to evolve in different directions. I know Aron has done quite a lot of classical music composing/arranging lately in a side project, that he probably is now trying to incorporate into the DL sound. Not what the audience expected, but still kind of refreshing. I appreciate that they are trying to do something that THEY like, and don’t just do things for the “likes”. We are all here for the cool stuff, but they have to feel inspired as well, and after almost 15 years of doing what they do it’s normal to explore other styles and expressions.
Good point! They definitely aren’t chasing likes or validation with their music and we can tell, they’re simply staying true to themselves. I respect that!
This was Jonah’s showcase …as a composer and keyboard man, and Dirty Loops fanatic, this was anything but underwhelming! It’s one of the shortest pieces by them, but they packed so much into it…I’ve watched it a couple dozen times and will likely watch/listen to it many more times.
You just don't get it, man! 😭 You got a bad case of drummearosis.
@@andrewgilman8835 you’re right 😔😂

That would be epic! It is truly a spooky piece of music!
incredible blend of classical music and ... Dirty Loops. Crazy chord changes, maybe not a drummer thing, but a piano player's dream
That seems to be the consensus! Time to expand my horizons 🎹
Regarding the frets on the bass, search for True Tempered frets.
Learned something new today 🎸

That seems to be the consensus, that it grows on us after multiple listens. I’m gonna keep it in rotation 😎
They always have a lot of credits... The song is wonderful, I totally love it! Each for his own. Maybe you search for the next note to much? That is what makes it so interesting and mind-pleasing for me, but I am not a musician, so...
You might be right, maybe I’m being too critical and need to listen again with fresh ears. Thanks for watching!
Loved it. They always leave me hungry.
I definitely wanted more at the end. It’ll keep me coming back!
FYI: Their logo is a Capybara
Touché!
I'm about 10 reactions in and still waiting for somebody to correctly identify it LOL... Not a super well known animal so I don't blame anyone though!
@@MusicalJackknife I should know better 😂
Agree about the toms…first and only comment I have: they should be just a tiny bit louder so that you hear the hits.😃
Exactly! Or maybe tuned slightly higher to cut through more? 🤔
Amazing guys 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
They still rule!

And maybe the cutting short is intentional… to give us a feeling of tension that can only be remedied by listening again. And the cycle repeats 🤔
1:35 ok that bass tho

Ooo nice call out! I’ll re-listen without the video

That’s a fair point! It’s definitely a song that is more like a hearty meal than ear candy. I’ll keep listening
Loops FTW ,and the next Bond Theme...?
Oh hell yeah 😎

Respectfully, I don't agree with you at all. Great song!!! Super cool feel and great melody.
Thats fair, thanks for watching!
Let it play
Tutti skippano la parte migliore..... Si i Tom più forti, hai ragione

I’ll keep listening! My drum-centric ears need to expand their horizons!
It felt underwhelming for me also but then a few more listens in it grows. But we are all different :)
Indeed 😄 I’m sure it’ll grow on me too
If Rachmaninov came back in the 21st century and formed a rock band, would they sound like a) Dirty Loops b) Muse or c) other (please suggest).
A 100% 😎

@@edogg2020 Yep just what I thought, obviously.
@@edogg2020 Interesting, but not sure I get the connection
This is not my fave DL track....yet.
This is a salad that has too many ingredients that it almost cancels itself out.
Digging the reacts!
Thanks for the kind words E Dogg! Fully agree with your salad analogy. But a lot of people have said it grows on them so maybe that’ll be the case!
