The first time I heard black midi was when 'bmbmbm' randomly came on in a randomly generated playlist while I was peaking on an LSD trip. It definitely ingrained it in my memory for good, an insanely good debut record.
See, I now consider these videos to be additional pieces of art to accompany the albums. That's why I'm not sure about the 'reaction' tag. /yes... I know... I sound pretentious in the extreme! :-D
I really was thinking "man, it's impossible it's his first time hearing this, he is anticipating a lot of things, the timming of the lyrics and stuff" and then you said what you said about hearing a lot of music in you life and things just kinda make sense and yap, i totally get that. Black Midi is kinda that with me, it's organized caos, it's a lot of things happening at the same time but it all makes sense, it all just fits in and complete each other: the brutally talented drummer, the weirdy voice of the front man, the subtil bass lines and the all out madness. It's just beautiful. And you're just amazing! Keep going the great work!
@@mercurialno6 If you dig Spiderland, check out Rusty by Rodan which was likely a big influence on this album. The View From This Tower by Faraquet is a little bit similar too, just more fast-paced and concise.
It’s definitely worth your time to check out some live videos of these guys, their KEXP sessions are fantastic. Once the apocalypse passes, I’d 110% recommend putting in the effort to see these guys live. Maybe the most mind-melting show I was lucky enough to see last year. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this band is how ridiculously young they are - as far as I know they’re all barely in their twenties (they met at the BRIT school). If this is how good their debut album is, I’m insanely excited and somewhat terrified for what their next releases will sounds like. Thanks so much for the video, gonna head to your website and watch the full dis-cover!
Would highly recommend Yves Tumor’s Heaven to a Tortured Mind - soul meets glam meets art rock meets Britpop; all morphed into one incredible record! It’s my favourite of 2020 so far, really blew my mind
On a rewartch I really appreciate your editing. This is a tough album to chop down to half the runtime but you've really captured a genuine reaction from an informed perspective. Double subscribe
Love this album, you should take a look at them live if you haven't already the drummer is crazy. I suggest listening to black country new road, no album yet just two singles but you might enjoy just listening to them off-camera.
Definitely agree, Sunglasses is a must-listen. Maybe one day he'll listen to some of the influences of bands like Black Midi and BCNR such as Slint and Rodan...that would be awesome
@@pc-0343 Yeah they're really great, I suspect that when they do come out with an album (that's assuming they will), they will blow up massively, they're comparatively quite large in the independent British music scene at least.
I feel like you would absolutely adore Lingua Ignota's Caligula. She is insanely talented and there really isn't any good way to describe what she is making nor is there anything even close to it.
"David Byrne with Jim Morrison poking out his backside" You my good sir have created one of my favorite artist comps I think I've ever heard. You're a blast to watch, really happy you liked this album.
They’re afraid of you Mercurial 6! They’re used to mediocracy of other reaction channels, and they’re never expect an explosive, colorful, creative, and enigmatic person like you! Keep going! They’re afraid of your uniqueness to simply enjoy music, since that’s it’s made for ❤️ much love
Second only to “There Existed an Addiction to Blood” by clipping, for me. It’s really nice seeing new rock music getting a lot of attention, just on the merits of their sound and musicianship. Lord knows the genre needs more bands like black midi to keep it relevant.
I just finished watching via your website and I’m so happy I did, to see those messages before and after the album reaction. Your gratitude truly warmed my heart, and I’m so thankful I came across your channel. I haven’t watched all of your videos truth be told, but enough to where I feel I’ve come to know you in some way. Thank you for all you’ve done on this channel, I hope to see you make it to Discover 200 Mr 6 ❤️
Good morning from across the pond! That was intense for my first cup o joe at 6 am....but crazy! The singer reminds me of the lead singer of AC/DC....which of course his name slips my mind cause it’s fricking early. Loved it!!✌️☺️
Best band in the world atm hands down, seen em twice, blow me away all the time. Love em, so talented, incredible. So glad you reviewed this and the slowthai album, hes also out of this world live! 👊❤
The drums on that second track sound a lot like Can’s ‘Vitamine C’ from 1972! Would love to see you check that out! This Black Midi drummer is amazing; good to hear he takes inspiration from all over the place!
Man, I remember having the exact same red sound box as a kid and annoying the living hell out of my parents with it. Anyways, amazing reactions, this was one of the top albums of 2019!
Now everytime i wanna sit down and relisten to an album I think, damn it's kinda lonely in here so I go on the "interweb" and look you up to see if you've done a video for it and it just takes the experience up to a million kajillion times better. I FUCKING LOVE YOU NO.6, YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND I'VE NEVER HAD!!!
aw man i love the way you react to music. sometimes you add your own vocals and sounds and it makes tracks I've heard before sound fresh 😂 keep it up man ur amazing
They fun thing is that everyone cites different influences for this band. I thought The Fall and Wire, King Crimson maybe. Fantano said Primus. Then they did a cover of their own song in the style of Primus lol. You said Miss Saigon! check mate. The drummer is a beast of he Southern Wild , TBH.
Have you ever heard anything from Tropical Fuck Storm? There are parts in this album you reacted very positively to that remind me of their style. A Laughing Death In Meatspace is a good starting album.
you might not read this but what if you put your currently listening albums into the sleeve where Igor is? i feel that would be a nice little touch. i also love how into the music you are its so great, might be worth giving the rest of their discog a listen, its different but its incredible in its own way
I like to come back and rewatch this video from time to time lol Now that their new album "Cavalcade" is out I'd love you to react to it. I think you'd like it
God I love you dude, you are by far my favorite music reaction channel, I've watched and had a good number of your videos on in the background as I did art in the last few days and you're the greatest. 23:14 they actually released a dance track I have some great suggestions but none of them have vinyls so I feel like they wouldn't fit the format of the show
Okay but now you've gotta listen to Cavalcade. Black Midi somehow became twice as chaotic but ten times as beautiful. Cavalcade is the undoubted best record of the year, maybe even of the decade.
@Annoying Elitist I kinda like The Glowing Man better that TBK but I'd still say Cavalcade is a contender. Also the entire Swans trilogy was last decade, so as this one goes on I think Cavalcade will be a contender. Its luscious soundscape and delicate but adrenaline filled production is so amazing that I think it could still go toe to toe with some of Swans' material.
Dude.. Been following your channel for two or three years. Still remember your 3000 subs. You keep getting better with time and you'll get 100k subs in no time. Anyway, this is probably my favourite reaction video. Bloody love it. Cheers
I've been listening to these guys for months now and never made the Genesis connection before. But one you said it I knew exactly what you were talking about, great call!
I love Black MIDI and came across this review of Schlagenheim and have been pissing myself laughing at your reaction/comments/copying - it’s a crazy album and a crazy reaction. You have a new subscriber!!
I’m instantly a subscriber after this, you should react to more modern weirdo shit. The talkies by girl band, you won’t get what you want by daughters, and caustic by primitive man are my recommendations. You’re awesome man, keep doing your thing!
The first time I heard black midi was when 'bmbmbm' randomly came on in a randomly generated playlist while I was peaking on an LSD trip. It definitely ingrained it in my memory for good, an insanely good debut record.
Wait a minute - you comment on a bunch of Swans' videos!
@@thegamingmachine9316 sounds like something I'd do!
That must have been a pretty terrifying trip hahaha
Mr. Mercurial, you react with such a magnificent purpose
Love how much effort and production quality you put into all of these videos
See, I now consider these videos to be additional pieces of art to accompany the albums. That's why I'm not sure about the 'reaction' tag. /yes... I know... I sound pretentious in the extreme! :-D
i gave this record to my grandpa to spin bc he is a drummer and i thought he would appreciate it, and he just said "it scared me"
Played this album to my mum. She didn’t much approve
Get a new mum
@@HelloHello-vk5ob 😂😂😂😂😂
Experimental/Avant-garde music aren't easy to listen to,
lol, I showed it to my mum, and she really enjoyed bmbmbm.
Not a joke, she really liked it.
I recommend Daughters album You Won't Get What You Want (2018)
I really was thinking "man, it's impossible it's his first time hearing this, he is anticipating a lot of things, the timming of the lyrics and stuff" and then you said what you said about hearing a lot of music in you life and things just kinda make sense and yap, i totally get that.

Hey, this comment might get lost but I really think you would enjoy Spiderland by Slint. Definitely worth giving it a listen
No comment is ever lost.
The Mercurial Number Six YES
Oh man. You've got to listen to it. Most influential album of the last 20 years.

His work is definitely unique. Not a go-to for me, but god damn it if I'm not enamored every time I listen.

From your comment you probably do appreciate how 'technical' it is to cut and splice these albums! Ha ha! Cheers!

Best reactions out there brother, nothing but love.

Your channel is criminally underviewed, man, you put a lot of effort in this videos. Glad I found out about it.
I think you'd enjoy the 13 minute Do Ya Thing by Gorillaz feat. LCD SOUNDSYSTEM and Andre 3000

10:57 greatest visuals to a black midi song ever
I saw these guys in concert around this time last year. Best concert I've ever went to, they are so explosive and they killed it!
Good morning from across the pond! That was intense for my first cup o joe at 6 am....but crazy! The singer reminds me of the lead singer of AC/DC....which of course his name slips my mind cause it’s fricking early. Loved it!!✌️☺️
Bon Scott? Yeah, he does!
The Mercurial Number Six oh thank you! Not enough caffeine in me yet!
THIS IS THE COOLEST MUSIC COMMENT SECTION IN THE WORLD, SO MANY COOL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MUSIC TASTE
Check out Hold Your Horse Is by Hella!
YES
I’ve been waiting for this video, thanks
Amazing album, but even better live! The drummer does some even more crazier falling down a cliff stuff live. Go see them if you get a chance!!
No one will ever do a better reaction to this album than you. Cheers, from New Jersey. The latest LP has such a magnificent purpose.
:-)
Was so hard waiting to hear his reaction to bmbmbm
FINALLY! Been begging you to try this album out for almost a year, cheers mercurial!
Best band in the world atm hands down, seen em twice, blow me away all the time. Love em, so talented, incredible. So glad you reviewed this and the slowthai album, hes also out of this world live! 👊❤

Just a live taste, that doesn’t sound like anything else from ‘72, does it? ruclips.net/video/X2aTsd8JP6s/видео.html
Yea, I totally hear Vitamin C
Morgan is incredibly talented,like all 4 of them
man, check out death grips - bottomless pit
100%, the Ring A Bell riff is godlike
Patiently waiting for a Cavalcade reaction
@@renatocfrancisco shut up
As of this moment, you have become my new favorite music reviewer youtuber
you singing along to reggae simply made my day. 10/10
Man, I remember having the exact same red sound box as a kid and annoying the living hell out of my parents with it. Anyways, amazing reactions, this was one of the top albums of 2019!
react to “for the first time” by black country, new road
I thought I was the only middle aged man who sits in his chair and adds flair to the jams.
Your reaction is brilliant and made me smile the whole way through because I too get the feeling to scream with the frontman, but I’m always at work.
Whenever I hear this I think “ah yes, Frank Zappa is smiling in heaven”
Nah, he’s playing jazz in hell
Just want to say that you’re brilliant and you made me very happy by reacting to this record. Thank you for your content!
Make sure you order their new album Calvacade!
11:24 that timing xD
Now everytime i wanna sit down and relisten to an album I think, damn it's kinda lonely in here so I go on the "interweb" and look you up to see if you've done a video for it and it just takes the experience up to a million kajillion times better.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU NO.6, YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND I'VE NEVER HAD!!!

@@mercurialno6 Yoooo can a TOOL album get on your backlog/to do list pretty please
Producer loses his damn mind to black midi*
Listen to their second album, Cavalcade.
aw man i love the way you react to music. sometimes you add your own vocals and sounds and it makes tracks I've heard before sound fresh 😂 keep it up man ur amazing
Screaming so magnificent along to the end of Bmbmbm was something else. Loving the content man 🤙
Radiohead meets Tropical Fuck Storm meets Joy Division?
I bought the vinyl right after seeing bmbmbm live on RUclips.
my got i cant imagine your reaction to cavalcade
They fun thing is that everyone cites different influences for this band. I thought The Fall and Wire, King Crimson maybe. Fantano said Primus. Then they did a cover of their own song in the style of Primus lol. You said Miss Saigon! check mate. The drummer is a beast of he Southern Wild , TBH.
I like that at the end of the last track, it literally looked like ‘black midi’ notation
Have you ever heard anything from Tropical Fuck Storm? There are parts in this album you reacted very positively to that remind me of their style. A Laughing Death In Meatspace is a good starting album.
Please, react to their new album. It's sublime. So glad I found your channel. Keep up with the good work, man.
you might not read this but what if you put your currently listening albums into the sleeve where Igor is? i feel that would be a nice little touch.
i also love how into the music you are its so great, might be worth giving the rest of their discog a listen, its different but its incredible in its own way
Snapped ankles - Stunning luxury
Don't hear many people talk about that album
I like to come back and rewatch this video from time to time lol
Now that their new album "Cavalcade" is out I'd love you to react to it. I think you'd like it
same feelings with first Mars Volta album, some years ago. Lover this guys, Mercurial. Cheers!
AMAZING ALBUM and big respect that u can actually appreciate what they did on the album!
This is my second watch, but you really do have to react to their second album Cavalcade!
this album suits your personality, and I like the album
Just watched 2 videos of yours and I think you have the best music reaction channel I've ever seen.
My new favourite comment! :-)
@@mercurialno6 Thanks for the reactions dude. Brings a smile to see you react the way you do.
A+ editing , my new fav reaction channel... also - you would dig the self-titled Viet Cong album
God I love you dude, you are by far my favorite music reaction channel, I've watched and had a good number of your videos on in the background as I did art in the last few days and you're the greatest.
23:14 they actually released a dance track
I have some great suggestions but none of them have vinyls so I feel like they wouldn't fit the format of the show
Correction I do have one that has a Vinyl and you haven't covered, Swans - Filth, I'd liken their production to The Velvet Underground and Black Midi
Finally saw these guys live last week and It was the most fun I’ve had at a show in years!!
cavalcade is probably gonna be AOTY
Would be awesome if you did a reaction of their singles, crows perch and talking heads!!!!
Sweater and 7-eleven are pretty awesome singles too
Okay but now you've gotta listen to Cavalcade. Black Midi somehow became twice as chaotic but ten times as beautiful. Cavalcade is the undoubted best record of the year, maybe even of the decade.

this is my first video of yours and... i've never related to a youtuber more. instant sub lmao ❤❤❤ also your metaphors are amazing
Welcome. :-)
One of my favorites
this review is amazing! love the energy!

Indeed!
NEW ALBUM GIVE IT A LISTEN ITS BETTER IMO
Have you done a cavalcade reaction yet?
What a show ! great achievement indeed.

Ridiculous chops
Love your air bongos bro

You should definitely check out Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) if you haven’t already. It’s an essential 90s hip hop classic
YES THANK YOUUU I LOVE YOUUUU
10/10 for david bryne. same as it ever was.
check out john maus's "we must become the pitiless censors of ourselves" great album

You vibe so hard on the singer, check out Body Lens, from Lethbridge, Alberta. They channel the B-52 energy exactly how you want it.
Yeah I checked this one out before you and I dug it. Haven’t listened to it since though, but I’ll listen to it again with you.
