This album is one of those that is unanimously agreed to be something truly special within the metalcore community. Holds a really special place for a lot of us
This album has made its way into probably my top 5 of all time. They struck absolute gold with it, and imo it stands as by far one of the most unique recent metalcore albums.
The Dark Pool - Sundowning - I Let It In And It Took Everything… George Lever produced masterpieces back to back to back. Words cannot suffice how brilliant that dude is. All 3 projects will stand the test of time, and one of them (Loathe album), is my favorite record of all time, while Sleep Token are my favorite band of all time (that album being what got me into them). The entire feel and ethereal ambience and atmosphere he created in The Dark Pool is so damn beautiful, eerie, and unique. I hope more people give that guy his praises sooner than later for the colossal classics he’s produced for the scene. Man is a genius🔥
@@jctheii ahaha indeed bro. he is my favorite mix engineer by far, and with the sleep token, thornhill, monuments and loathe albums he produced he is going to get so much eyes on him in the recent future
@@sonio90theyre not gonna do another one, theyre planning on releasing new music but its not gonna be something theyve already done. theyre young with hella creativity, and theyre gonna do whatever they want
Yeah viper room for me didnt do it. The Dark pool and butterfly ep are true thornhill. If you haven't checked it out already they have an even older ep 13 its pretty good. Plus you got limbo and temperer wich are still top notch. Dark Pool 2 needs to happen though.
This album is amazing. Their sound is truly unique. When I'm craving something technical, ethereal, deep, and chunky there is nothing that satisfies like this album. The lyrics are unbelievable as well. Ever time I listen to WWGWWD I get full body chills and nearly cry. That song hits deep...
What a surprise! Where we go when we die was the first track, I ever heard of them. After this, the album was recommended by the algorithm and I listened to it while working and it immediately found a place within my soul. This album was one of my top 3 discoveries last year. (Currents - The Way It Ends was another one. And Polaris - the Death of Me All are amazing in my book.) It is heavy, it has sick riffs, but the cleans are vibey and dreamy and not standard over-polished metalcore. You mentioned the shoegaze elements. I love them in this arrangement. My biggest love in this kind of music is when voices go high. Jacob does a fantastic job with including his head voice so effortlessly. And the sound scapes in combination with Metalcore are also something, that I don’t get very often. I love the electronic influences. They add to the uniqueness of their sound. To me this is a modern classic album, because I love to listen to it from start to finish. If I had to decribe my absolute favorite sound, this album would perfectly summarize it. All the elements just work perfectly together. Thanks for this surpise of happiness. I was singing along to almost all of the songs. I started writing down my favorite tracks, but every time a new song starts, I’m like: Ok, write that down. The whole album is so good. Red Summer, In my skin, Lilly and the Moon, Coven Human and Where we go when we die. I could talk forever about how this album makes me feel, but I’ll let it be for now. Where we go when we die is a banger final track. Dreamy and filthy. Love that combination. I see why you want more aggression sometimes. To me this album is great because all the not-harsh elements are usually used less in other bands and this album gives me a lot of it and the harsh parts usually hit a little bit harder. Sure, they are not as hard as the current Currents album.
I agree with you on how the aggression hits harder because they don't use it too much. To me it makes it clear that Thornhill does care about genres or labels. They are going to make the music they need to make and stay true to their inspiration. That approach is what allowed them to craft this masterpiece.
The crown jewel of the twilight of the 2010s. TDP is one of the best 1st full lengths ive ever heard, and honestly LPs in general. Cant believe it took you this long to experience this masterpiece 😅
This album got me through such a dark time, A real cover to cover listen and experience. I'd check Currents-The way it ends and Polaris-The death of me
The dark pool is my favorite album of all time, hopefully Thornhill makes more like this. Heroine is an amazing album, i just miss this sound from them.
I haven’t been this excited for a video in a long time and I already know it’s going to be a fucking banger! Edit: if you love a perfect song transition David, you’d love the transition from Melting Amber into Reprise (basically one song cut into two)
You NEED to check out “I let it in and it took everything” by Loathe. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I feel like I can connect to it so much and I’d love to see you react to it!!
Coven was the first track I heard from them on a twitch stream, I had to watch the vod and use shazam to find out who they were. Still one of the best tracks on the album I think, also by far the heaviest.
I have seen them live. They supported "The Butterfly Effect" in 2022 during their Heroin release period. They were really good live too. Its great when a band is amazing live as well as their album music. Check out the "The Butterfly Effect" Begins here.
That opening riff for lily and the moon is top tier, doesnt get much better than that, the way it hits coming from the softness of the prior song, too good!
Check out their EP 13 for the gut harsh Vocals. This band ks absolutely insane and their journey from absolutely raw sound to Viper Room which is very almost poppy. Its incredible.
I love your reaction, In Fact a very very nice record, one of the best i heard, but beside, i like your hair and voice, also the camera you were shooting...which model is , by the way? Kiss
This is a good album, im not at all a fan of their new album which sucks for me i guess 😂 But for real tho, i must've missed the poll for currents, that album needs priority u will be blown away. What happened? How did ppl not vote for that one? Was it in the poll? How bad are ppl at voting?!?!?!
