Falling In Love All Over Again… 

Thank you for the great analysis. If I can repay the compliment, it's also nice to see your own progression, Drew. You have a great channel, well done. Also, of course I stand by word, G list approved 😜

It’s been 949 days since I uploaded my 1st TesseracT reaction. What a moment this was ❤️

Hearing how much Tesseract mean to you in the intro and knowing how marvellous this song is I got very excited for you to hit play 😁

This is probably the heaviest they've sounded since One

Dan just crushed this song live on Twitch. Absolute banger!

"Grit your teeth and bear it!!" *procedes to try and headbang in time and fails miserably*

The new album is also a concept about two people called ex and el living in an alternative dimension that's molded by the social state of our own world so paying alot of attention to the lyrics this time would be beneficial in future reactions to understand the story being told in the album 😁 the track is a solid 10/10 for me

the final two minutes are jaw dropping. we could have an AOTY contender on our hands.

When I first discovered Tesseract, my thoughts were exactly "This is the shit that I wanna write" they're my favorite band of all time and one of my biggest musical inspirations along with VOLA, Skyharbor, The Contortionist, and Between The Buried And Me

I’m sooooooooo ready for this album I remember us OG TESSERACT fans asking over and over in the beginning to get you to react to them, and look at us now!! One big ass TESSERACT fandom ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏼 love to see it

Been saying that Dans been my favorite vocalist ever since I first heard him 10 years ago and that’s not changing. This is everything I was hoping for and have been playing it non stop since the premier. This band just hits the right spot for me and probably always will

You mentioned that Dan is a gamer. They definitely took some inspiration with the lyrics at the end there from "The Wolven Storm" from The Witcher 3. "To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep" compared to "To dream of flowing locks untwisted And auburn eyes glistening as you weep". Maaybe a little bit too much. Great track though!

I just listened to this song a few days ago. I was hesitant because I wanted to listen in context of the album…but I couldn’t resist. I was waiting for your video. I remember when you first listened to Tesseract. They’re a special band in a similar way to me. (We also have two similar “four horseman” - Tesseract, monuments, the Contortionist, between the buried and me, silent planet). I first started listening when altered states released. They’ve been a top band for me since then. This song to me is the accumulation of all their albums. Each album up till now explored something slightly different… - One- harsh/aggressive/establishing their djent styles - altered states- flow of the album/songs, playing with space - Polaris - a softer atmosphere - Sonder- more modern production, more dichotomy between riffage and atmosphere than Polaris So stoked for this album 🙏🤘

and their bass lines continue to impress me. Amos is pure class

Dan's lows gave me chills

Man what a ways we've come. Great work on this. I've been into the band since Altered States was new but it's clear your passion is just as deep as mine. I've seen them twice.. The first time Dan added me on Instagram after i had posted videos from the show. The second time i actually got to get in mic with Dan, and some how i pocket unfriended him after sending a message..i think during the chaos of the between and buried and me pit. Great times 😅 hope you walk away with the best memory ever bro

8:40 (in your vid)to me is one of the most signature things that TesseracT do. Those are the same sort of grooves that Meshuggah made popular and Acle does the same sort of thing but uses his own trademark tone and it’s just marvelous.

8:40 when that background ambience kicks in with the groove gives me huge Uneven Structure vibes. Also 11:22 I thought there was a random Maynard feature when I first listened lol-huge tool vibes. I can not wait for the album.

I love the sing-screaming so much at the end... So awesome.

This band is just incredible.

Theres nottin' better than the feeling of a band who opened doors for you in the first place to return, and take you into new areas again. The reaction here brilliantly conveyed that. Like seeing yer best mate after a separation, to instantly effortlessly have a chemistry again, a new progressive chemistry fused with foundations from 'fore. Makes you realize all over again why you were close in the first place, whilst moving forward with them aswell. Thats the power of a long term love of a band.

You said the one section towards the beginning with the first real groove section sounded like one… I have a bombshell for you. Listen to that after listening to proxy again :)

I describe that tone as "ethereal." It's like you're floating over a newly discovered planet or drifting through a space scape.

This was absolutely a masterpiece 🥺

My favorite band is back! Definitely going to catch them live on this tour in Tampa.

This is everything I love in a TesseracT song! I'm glad you picked up on that raw energy in the song and mix (with the drums quite forward). It reminds me of the everyday from Portals! Glad to see the boys back in great form and expecting a great album. Daniel's vocal show such an incredible range and I liked the section when there was some distortion on his voice... Hope to hear more of that. Cheers🤘

This band... is something very special to me. I dont really know how to describe it. It's almost like they've been there to help guide me at really important moments in my life. Makes me want to use that hippie fried term "synchronicity" to be honest. And they have absolutely helped shape my musical taste and my worldview both lol. Ya know those chills people chase with their favorite music and it doesnt always happen? That thing that is why people listen to intense music to begin with? Man i get those chills just talking about this band. This song is so far the highlight of my year i think. (Although im going to do everything in my power to see them this fall. Theyre coming shockingly close to my little nowhere hillbilly town on my best friend's (and fellow tesseract fan's) birthday. I cant fucking stop playing this song, it's like i've found bigfoot or something, Im showing everyone like i used to when tesseract dropped new material. I still often think about the first time this band really sunk in. It was an authentically lifechanging experience. P.S. No, no other band has ever, or will ever djent as well as tesseract. No one will ever out pink floyd pink floyd either. no one will ever out greatful dead the grateful dead. No one will ever out Led Zepplin led zepplin

The high notes at the end actually made me wince on my first listen. As an intermediate singer I don't understand how that's possible.

Been watching your reactions on and off since that first Tesseract video (or around that time) and this is easily the best reaction you've made in my opinion. The production, your choice of places to pause, switching between the music video and your own camera (centered view is based by the way). This song has everything we all love about Tesseract in one glorious package, and I agree when I heard this I thought it has MAD One vibes with a sprinkle of Polaris writing style too, all finished with delicious modern production. Hyped as hell for the album. To say I'm excited for your full reaction to that is a huge understatement. Huge props on this one fella, and again big up from Cork

Been waiting for you to make this video since the song came out🔥

was waiting for your reaction man, glad you really enjoyed it. I agree that this was a real mixture of all their sounds over the years in the best way possible, missed these guys so much

Shits a masterpiece, and this album will be the best of 2023. And Id put my house on that. These guys are NEXT FUCKING LEVEL 🤟

Welcome back brother! I did try to keep all the TesseracT talk to the devoted thread but dont think it worked as well as planned 😅 I absolutely loved this song as well and was not expecting that many screamed parts from Dan, especially that low scream 🥵 The album is apparently going to be a concept album so im wondering if it will flow as one massive song, which also has me wondering if this style of music video will be done for all the singles for the album, as im sure there will be more before September. Good to have you back 😘😘

I wanted to comment before I even started watching the video. I've been waiting for this review for a few days now. This brings back so many memories of when your channel first started and how I discovered TesseracT through you and they are now one of my favorite bands. Now time to watch the reaction!!! Cheers Drew🤘

screams are sounding like architects . this is fantastic

When this song dropped I just searched drew on RU-vid, and despite being a little late but it was like Christmas but santa came with a god tier song

Thing song bridges One with Sonder for me. I hear so much influence from both eras in this. Can't wait for the full release!

that ending!! my friend !! is amazing you are right this is an emotional heavy track!!

The vocals sound somewhat sybreed inspired, you should definately check sybreed out though they have disbanded as of now. Id recommend Isolate or Plasmaterial

The last minute of the song is so unbelievably emotional. What a fucking powerful ending to such an incredible masterpiece. Daniels voice has never been better and more powerful. This is a generational song that will impactful for decades to come.

fun fact : i actually sat at the same spot in malta about 12 years ago. Such a beautiful country :)

I appreciate how much you love this band. I think a lot of us share your love for TesseracT. What a song!

Its a rich peace of music. It took its time, but its growing on me. There are some killer riffs and great drumming from Jay. The bass is powerful and Dan vocals awesome as always. The ambience created by the cleaner guitars are something that I only hear like that in Tesseract songs.

this is 10000% every album combined into one (not the album) its VERY tesseract like its an iconic sound, also dan’s new fry vocal style i heard was siiiiiick

I hope Dan has more growls on this album, he sounded badass

this song was hard to follow at first but, as a lot of their songs, ill find it and understand it and rllllly love it

Dude I’m so glad for this! First time I watched a reaction video of you I saw the TesseracT poster behind you and thought I’m going to like this dude. So I’ve been following you for a while now and when I heard the new track my thoughts went to you immediately… and then nothing, no video for days! 😭 And then you give us this, pure gold, banger song and great video as always! Keep it up man

my first time hearing TesseracT. oh boy.

Dan doing lows is amazing. This song is just incredible. Good lord Jay Postones's drumming on this song is some of the hardest footwork he's ever done.

Jay isn't taking the easy way out! His drumming is as crazy as on One. Crazy ass polywork just in this song alone!

11:52 Thats a great way of putting it.

This track is incredible - and I think you are spot on regarding this being a complete mix of their entire discography, which also makes it sound like a new direction for them. Also, how do they write stuff like this???? Being impressed is an understatement from me; so excited for the new album's arrival! Keep up the fantastic reactions m8 - also excited to see your reactions on the entire album some time after September :-)

My favorite part has gotta be “always….DESPERATE”

God damn I cannot wait for this album.

Love how your taste has been shaped over these last few years man haha. Was there when you dropped the first Tesseract vid, anxious to see if you'd like it. I am obsessed with trying to get people into djent 😂😂

I thought the same as you. I could here the history of the band with and without Dan . i hope i don't get too much shite for it because this is my go to band for great musicians . i'm lucky to have seen both singers live. They were both fantastic.

Can't wait for the TOP 10 of 2023 video!

Members from Monuments and tesseract came from a band called fell silent if didn't know now you do.

Got big One vibes from this immediately as well. The rawness of One with the production that started with Altered State. If the rest of the album is at least half as good as this song it'll easily be my favorite Tesseract album of all time. Incredibly thankful I will be taking a 4 hour roadtrip with some friends to see them live for the first time on this upcoming tour.

Great review. This song definitely combines elements from thier prior albums and Daniel sounds as good as ever. Very strong vocals. The entire song is brilliant!

Beautiful piece of music. Chills. So good. ❤

This track is sick. Somehow this is still the year that keeps on giving for music (at least for my tastes).

Tess is my favorite band by a mile, so I appreciate a reactor that actually "gets" the band and can appreciate the sheer musical genius from these guys.

How dare you ignore us on the discord!! haha. I am so excited to officially be a part of the hype for this band, I was like a little kid in a candy store throughout this song until the very end when the goosies and tears started.

Tesseract imo is a band that doesn’t really experiment too much to evolve their sound too far away from their original sound. They created their own unique sound and each album they dont really evolve much but always improve what they already do well with each new release.

Every face you made during the music was my exact reaction. Is this band exciting or what?!

Just saw them this past Friday in GR Michigan; with intervals and alluvial. I'm glad I've been to a lot of other shows before seeing tesseract. They ruined me. Nothing will ever move me the same way. In dealing with acceptance and all of the things this song and album portray; it couldn't be more perfect timing for me. My mother is passing away, and all I can do is watch and comfort her the best I can. Her and I took care of her mother (my grandma) until she passed and the feelings are eerily similar. I know what I will soon come to terms with. No matter how gutting the thought of it is, after flipping this album front to back; I feel better prepared to deal with what will come.

Welcome back to TesseracT! And for Drew to get back to them as well! Nice job!

Been waiting for this video

Your reactions say it all! Respect man! 🤙

Loved this reaction, I followed much the same path did when it came to 'modern djent' - like meeting an old friend :')

Looking forward to the Dublin show! Tesseract live shows never disappoint

🎉 TesseracT is BACK! 🎉

27 min vid gawd damn🔥

Their best song to date! My band got to open for them when they had Elliot Coleman. Fucking dream come true! Sucks because I really wanted to meet Dan lol but I'll take what I can haha!

WE WERE WAITING FOR YOU, MY GUY!

Great reaction video! It’s going to be an absolute amazing album, I have no doubt. Tesseract never disappoints, never. Now O have to go back and check out your other Tesseract reactions! Btw, you have the nicest smile.

This is gonna be My AOTY. And I thought that was for IA or ST, but man, this song hits every spot I didnt know I need it

Your first guitar was a 7 string that’s sick. I just got my first 7 string

I've seen them live back in 2009. They have grown a LOT. Absolute legends.

From the moment I heard concealing fates, this is what I'd imagine Tesseract would become. Not that their other stuff is bad, but it just didn't feel like it reached the potential this band has. This track does. 10/10

Sounds like Behind the sun by Meshuggah

Masterpiece.

Just an amazing song and i cant wait for the new album! Tickets for their show in Oslo already secured🤘 you should definately check out Unprocessed at some point, who will support the UK/EU leg of their tour, if you havent already!

If the other songs of the album are as good as this one..

YESSSSSSSS

🤘🤘

Drew do you write music? Are you in a band??

Dude, pss! Try change nail scissors to general curved nipper. It's better. (Somehow, you wouldn't want to bite your nails anymore).

Good video, but you´r recent videos have a lot of room echo with the position of the mic. Your older videos didn´t have this problem. Love your videos! The music video is incredible and its a crime to not show it the whole reaction.

I'd fuck with this track if it had less cleans and more harsh vocals, its kinda hard to be headbanging to cleans ☠️ but thats just my opinion, so much great music out these days in the metal scene uts a good time to be alive

Altered state is my least favourite. I didn't really like the vocalist and was sooo happy when they got the original guy back.

Never heard of them before but DAMN this song is insane
