Musical Analysis/Reaction of JINJER - Teacher, Teacher! (Official Video) 

JINJER fans - I’ve just released a stand-alone piano arrangement version of PISCES. Arranged by yours truly, and the sheet music is also available in 3 difficulty tiers. Head over to the video below and check the description! 🤘 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8UA5Rw4JpeE.html

God I love watching reactions from people that actually have musical knowledge/ really appreciate whats going on here. Please keep jinjer coming ♡

You are ready. Time for "Home Back"

"oooh, blast beats!!!" your entire face lit up on that, priceless! 😂 Told you in a comment from a previous jinjer reaction you won't be disappointed by this one. Back to the video now, great analysis so far. //edit Finished the video - I'm the same with blast beats, had no idea I like them until Jinjer, they really changed a lot of things for me since I discovered them. Great video as usual, keep 'em coming. 🤘

Your analysis and style is great! You should totally do "Jinjer - Who Is Gonna Be The One (Live) | Napalm Records" next!

Yes, that noise is the bass - They show it in the video but you were looking away both times you played it!

Your musical knowledge and appreciation for the difficulty of this makes it A way better reaction… On the top live in Kiev is going to be another one you’ll love... probably many more too LOL .. i’ve seen them live and I haven’t been this excited about a band since I discovered Metallica in the 80s... 💪💪💪

JInjer's got it all, as you said. But don't miss out on the lyrics, it's just another layer of depth to their music.

Retrospection official video. The guitar groove is so heavy, and to hear Tatiana sing some of the lyrics in Russian is a game changer...

here is something to consider.... when you combine the awesome riffs, the time signature changes, the rhythm the clean parts and constant surprises throughout the song, the operatic almost epic nature of the hook.... is it possible that this is the best written metal song of the last 10 years?... that's the conclusion i came to... unwittingly

This song is by far my favorite of theirs. The syncopated rhythmic transitions and timing shifts are masterful. It’s Funny how myself & every other musician I know have to close their eyes in order to separate instrumental arrangements. The music breakdown was outstanding. The only part that you & I differ on is the vocal segments where you were hearing hints of Rap, I was hearing Reggae. I’m not sure why, that’s just where my mind went.

I as well love watching reactions where the reactor s are actual musicians who are technical and can breakdown the composition of the song itself. I am forever a Jinjer fan and love the journey/musical journey each song provides. Please keep reacting to Jinjer. I personally have no preference of song because each song never disappoints

First time I hear someone talking about Mr Bungle in a reaction video, you have great tastes :D I totally agree with what you said about the importance of rhythm, I'm also pianist, trained in classical and jazz , and I remember struggling with improvisation in jazz a lot, all changed when I realised it doesn't really matter what note you hit as soon as it is in rhythm, it's quite liberating. I love all those bands who play with polyrhythm and/or seamlessly change time signature, and at the same time capable of keeping a great cohesion, complex writing, complex music, but easy to listen and immensely enjoyable. Always nice to hear great technicians serving music instead of using music to show how great technicians they are! (Sorry for my approximate english). Another great reaction, thank you!

Don't worry about the pauses, if it weren't for them we would all be watching the official video ourselves. And if you would have watched the video at the end you would have seen that it is a chord on the bass. Loving your reactions, man. Keep it up. Since you teach piano, maybe you would like to review Jinjer's drummer Vlad playing Rachmaninov? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HHdTmPDR9Z0.html

Lol every time he hit the 🎵 you where looking away 🤣🤣🤣 priceless and you would have answered your question to . Peace from Alaska

I'm new here but I'm loving your reactions so far, very detailed and insightful. I would recommend Pit of Consciousness, live in Kiev. I think you'll like it.

You should give Just Another Official vid a look. I believe it is 2015. The guitar seems to be a big focus. Hard as hell with insane clean vocals and melodies. It's unbelievable to see the evolution of this band over such a short period of time. Found them about a year ago, and was pissed off I didn't find them sooner. New favorite band. Have fun brother.

I recommended this one to you after your first Jinjer reaction because I had a feeling this would be your cup of tea. It’s so great! I would recommend listening to their latest song next...Homeback (Official Video). Then you should perhaps go back in time a bit to see where they came from. Sit, Stay, Rollover is a good start there. I wish I could re-experience this stuff for the first time. They are just finishing their new album too. So there’s something we can all look forward to.

Jinjer is every thing 🖤 I haven’t heard anyone bring up Dog Fashion Disco in a minute lol that’s awesome. And since you brought up Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk dropped a new album a couple days ago 🖤

Vlad ,Jinjers drummer is also a classically trained Pianist

You TRULY have something unique and special to offer the world of Jinjer reactions! Cheers, brother!

Ghost beats, blast beats, clean vocals, growls - a bass riff that slays... guitar to support the bass... What? Yep. Jinjer.

Excellent! Dude, don’t even let anyone convince you otherwise: your next Jinjer song should be Who’s Gonna Be The One, live. You’ll dig it!

Loved this reaction! Lots of people focus on the obviously amazing vocals but I'm glad you highlight the instrumental work so well. Can't wait to see more! I recommend Noah and Sit Stay Rollover as two very different songs that give a good idea of what they can do. Noah is full of complex instrumental work and also I just have a soft spot for sit stay rollover as my favorite jinjer song. Raw talent and aggression)

Awesome reaction/analysis :) I'm definitely liking your commentary. I gravitate to the vocals because I love singing and love to study voice, so it's really nice to hear from a musician/instrumentalist point of view. It makes me appreciate the artistry and music more. I absolutely agree this song is awesome, love the dynamics. It's one of the main reasons I love Jinjer, they change it up within a song and from song to song and they are absolutely excellent at what they do (all aspects - vocals, lyrics, composing, instrumentals, etc). Tatiana gets most of the recognition of the switching between styles with her vocals, but the rest of the band is equally as fluid and impressive...all of the band members together make this band so great and unique. Love them all.

I somehow knew that you would really love this one. Great reaction and I appreciate how much respect you are giving the musicians.

Love Jinjer 😁👍👍 always something different and interesting to offer

My ears always tend to grab a gestalt of a piece, & lyrics almost never stand out in a first listen.... but here when Tatiana pops up spittin bars....! o_O The multi-movement stucture, the brain-engaging choppy angular timings (somehow without losing groove, which I assume must be witchcraft!), the epic chorus, some of the best lyrics I've heard from a heavy band in a while.... all combine to give an impressive package, but the chill section in this one where Roman uses his guitar with long delays & some shimmer to create a dreamy soundscape while my man Eugene comes in with his trademark left-hand-keeping-the-low-end-meaningful-while-the-right-hand-tapping-takes-over-the-main-melody on his bass.... & then Tatiana tip-toes back in with a perfectly tender vocal.... It gets me properly emotional, even after many dozens of listens. And to think that just a minute or two earlier in the same song they had me ready-to-put-someone's-head-through-a-wall -level angry with those blast beat passages!! No wonder this won my song of the year for 2019. p.s. I actually shouted at my monitor for you to look at yours in the closing section so you could see it's Eugene doing a downward rake with his ringfinger to the skinny strings for that extra stab of dissonance! LOL :)

That hemiola on the China cymbal in the…pre-chorus (??) is so cool. A good hemiola in a 3 (or 6) based time signature or a song with a strong triplet sub-division is so engaging because it lets you experience two valid metrical perspectives simultaneously.

You listen to, appreciate and analyze music very similarly to me. Vocals/lyrics tend to come last. Of course Tatiana tends to force the issue. When you said "how have I gone this long without noticing this band", I laughed because I said the same thing in May 2020 in the middle of the Pandemic. Discovering Jinjer was the highlight of my 2020! Looking very forward to your next Jinjer reaction.

Absolutely loving your reactions to Jinjer! The end was like watching a horror movie..."What is that sound...is it the bass? In my head I'm yelling "LOOK OUT...THE SOUND IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE VIDEO"!!!

Great reaction! Like the analysis from a musicans perspetive - great insights for a normal listener like me =). I happened onto Jinjer somewhere around summer last year and instantly fell in love with their music. Got two tickets for their upcomming tour in a nearby city just yesterday - i´m soooo looking forward to it! Keep up the content and pause much more to give us your insights!

Amazing job you are doing!

Nice man, glad you came back wasn't sure. Glad you like them as much as we do.

ive watched this video so many times but the 7:16 moment when you say "blast beats" and your face lights up, gets me cracking everytime. priceless reaction

Her almost "hip hop" like cadence through that later half with the galloping drums is an amazing touch. Totally unique.

Love your reactions and analysis and on this one, thanks for the laugh for "Okay, I got caught off guard" at the end. No worries, everyone does on their first listen. Since you were impressed with Vlad's blast beats in this one, I'd suggest you check out "Retrospection". It's one of their few I'd suggest the official first, even though their live is fantastic and worth a listen after. What Roman on guitar and Eugene on bass do in and around the blast beats in that one is interesting and sounds great. They do use blast beats fairly often, but I've always been impressed by how the style for each song is different and they always fit within the song. It's never overdone.

Seriously great reaction , Pit of consciousness live in Kiev would be a good one to do .

JW you should listen to official videos of I Speak Astronomy, On the Top, Pit of Consciousness Ape, Retrospection, Noah or Home Back. Very Hip tunes and videos.

Holy shit! I soooooo fucking happy to hear you say Dog Fashion Disco! Absolutely one of my all time favorites! Polkadot Cadaver, Altar Boys... all the projects work Todd and Jasan. Awesome to hear them referenced.

That sound from the bass at the end was a “DENG”. As in the famous meme.. “brr...brr...DENG’. 😂

I’m sure everyone has told you but that sound is the bass. I wondered the same thing til I saw Eugene actually do it. Fantastic reaction to a fantastic band. Love Jinjer!!

You are not alone on regretting that it took so long for you to find this band. I only found Jinjer about a year ago. I have been a metal head for more than 30 years (was still in high school when ".... And Justice For All" came out) and this band has given me faith that metal is not dead. I hope you continue to enjoy your Jinjer journey.

Another Bungle fan! Right on, digging the channel. Would love to hear your take on Protest the Hero maybe Sequoia Throne. Keep up the great vids.

Good reaction, happy to see someine who really kmows music analyse Jinjer.

really like your analysis in all those jinjer songs, great job

The biggest thing reactors do to mess up pausing is not restarting a few seconds back and missing important transitions. You always back up, so it's all good! But you did look away at crucial times - like when Eugene strummed down hard on the (I believe) "G" string to make that cool but odd metallic bell sound at the end. ;-)

hahaha if you watch the screen you can see Eugene hitting the bass string with the nail to make that "klinkkk" at the end... btw, talking about rythm, Vlad, the new drummer, has propeled Jinjer to the current heights they are, imo. Maybe my current fav...

Luv luv luv your reactions, life changing music here

You always raise my Jinjer appreciation level 😎👏 They are totally 110% in every aspect!!!

Way back old school to 1971 with Captain Beyond's Dancing Madly Backwards. 👁️💥

Jinjer - On The Top

Loving your channel! Jinjer is the best band on earth right now. You've got to do their songs "On the Top" and "Pit of Consciousnes" both official videos and live in Kiev, even better if you did double features of both of these songs! Also check out their song "Ape" live at Mystic Festival if you like the blast beats. Hell, just check out every one of their songs while you're at it. You've only just scratched the surface!

Hahahah, "BLAST BEATS!!" Like a kid on Christmas, that was great!

I absolutely LOVED your reaction to this one! Check out 'Who is gonna be the one', the bass on that song is just wild

LOVE THIS BAND

Yes! They are brilliant indeed!

Amazing piece of music! One of their masterpieces! About the vocals, It´s definitely a more "rapping" aproach. She doesn´t do it very often but they thought it would work on this and it really does. Really enjoying your Jinjer videos, very insightful commentary on the music. I´ve been a metalhead for more than 30 years now and it´s been a long time since a band mesmerized me like these guys did and still do, truly special and talented band! You will be flooded with suggestions, all are worth it, but so it doesn´t get overkill I´ll leave my short 2 cents: - Who´s Gonna Be The One" live. Hard as nails banger and an amazing live performance. - "Retrospection" official or live in Melbourne. Just WOW, everything Jinjer just packed in a superb track. - "Sit, Stay, Roll Over" official. Probably their most feroucious, fast and furious track. Killer! - "Judgment & Punishment" official or Tatiana One Take Vocal. A brilliant blend of genres perfectly executed. I guess it´s not that short, but we Jinjer fans (Outlanders) get a bit carried away with these guys :) Keep up the great videos, peace.

Great reaction Sir! I think you should definitely check out Home Back as one of your next Jinjer reactions.

This is probably my favorite Jinjer song.

Hahaha, good reaction,This band another level, Next "homeback" 🤘 Vlad the drummer play classic piano since kid, search in RU-vid video from him play classic piano with a SEPULTURA t-shirt, u can see him play guitar very good, gojira cover, and another from slipknot

It is so refreshing to watch someone react to this particular song that hears EVERYTHING going on in it and understanding how amazing and unique this band is.👍 Just discovered you recently and immediately subscribed. Your opinions and analysis are spot on and I appreciate them as a fellow musician and lover of music myself. Thanks for the great reactions and keep them coming🤘

Mr Bungle... Faith No More... Pantera... Opeth... Cannibal Corpse... Textures... Bob Marley too.... all in one... and more. I recommend ""I speak astronomy" and "On the top" vídeos to see the contrast... and "Judgement & Punishment"... she sings reggae!!! Congratulations for your analysis!!!

Like you said : "Absolutly perfect".

Jinjer - one take - Judgement (& Punishment). You can see a lot about her vocals.

I love that you mentioned Mr Bungle, California is one of my all-time favorite albums. I would love to see a Mike Patton/ Tatiana collaboration, it would be insane.

California is an amazing album! Retrovertigo is my ultimate relaxation song.

This freeze on Tati high-kicking is just the most unlikely thing I've ever seen.

Man, I just checked out your music video for "Behind The Façade", I LOVE IT!! It's like a mix between Diablo Swing Orchestra and Pain of Salvation, two of my favorite bands. Great Jinjer reactions as well, outstanding work!! SUBSCRIBED!!

Yes! Spot on! There's not a single word you said that I don't agree with 100%. I discovered Jinjer about a year after King of Everything was released. They are now my favorite band. I have all their recordings with the exception of an early EP. Their first full album, Inhale Don't Breathe, is a far different sound from their latest recordings. This band has evolved tremendously.

I enjoy your channel! Quickly becoming one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!

that noise at the end you were asking about was actually shown in the video right at the second you weren't looking. It was the bass yes!

The sound you asked about near the end of the video was a harmonic thing played on the bass. I've been going crazy trying to replicate it on my bass, but no luck yet.

Jinjer - Pit of Consciousness (live in kiev) is one of my favorites.

I really like your reactions man !! You notice all the good details and are spot on with your comments 🤘

Jinjer-Sit, Stay, Roll Over and Outlander are both really good.

You should check out Shadow Of Intent. I'm a big fan of these 2 bands because of their technacality, diversity and mix of several genres. They're so many great bands out there. I can't wait to go to concerts and festivals when this pandemic is over!🙌

I recommend their song “Ape” for lots of time and sound changes. It’s a shorter song, but they pack a lot into it. Enjoying your Jinjer reactions. 👍

2:31 Primus! Thank you! I've been trying to work out what that bass sound reminded me of, I was thinking Rage Against The Machine or maybe even Chili Peppers (bit of a stretch), but it's Primus that describes it really good. Again, thanks for the very good reaction video, I like all the musical details you notice and explain that make me apprechiate Jinjer even more than I alreaedy do.

Dude you're the only one I've ever heard say anything about Mr bungle, I love them, goodbye sober day is what made the musician I am, and dog fashion discos acid memoirs is a classic

Another good review, keep'em coming. Monochromatic Black is kinda similar to this or Vintersea. Monochromatic black only has about 6 songs all are good, Phosphenes is a favorite. Vintersea the Host is good, but if you want something with variety check out Crack of Light, pretty unique. All kinda of twists and turns.

You nailed it. Perfect. 🤘😎

Love you reaction bro

You see, just for "knowing" bands like Cannibal C. & Emperor, etc. you have a sub Btw. Jinjer is a new style, new music, new emotions. P.S. They (I don't know if only Tatiana or all of them) are fans of Cypress Hill (& Opeth too) :) And they are also great musicians

Dude, it's so validating when actual musicians love a band/song as much as I do! I don't know jack shit about the actual music making process, I just know what I like when I hear it. It's cool seeing people who know how the sausage is made pick apart songs, and finding out that they love it for the same reasons that I didn't have the musical language/knowledge to articulate. I'd love to see you do "I Speak Astronomy", seems like it gets a bit overlooked in the usual lineup of Jinjer reactions. The music video is great, though there's sadly not a great live version on RU-vid, at least not that I can find.

You should have at least 100k subs! Great enthusiasm and musical knowledge! Cheers!

Can't wait to see you react to who is gonna be the one, 🥰

great breakdown! loving your content. i hit you up on IG

Fun fact, the drummer Vlad is an amazing guitar player.

AND - they sound THIS GOOD live!

I totally get that rap-ish feel on the lyrics at the beginning. It feels like an another percussive instrument rather an extra layer on the music

I need a new album. I'm dyin' ova here!

It's Jinjer time. Great reaction. You where talking about frequency and I think you are right jinjers sound for me is special so pleasing to my ears. I like aton of other music and bands but there's two artists Jinjer and Tom MacDonald both have a message in the music. Don't feel bad I found them last year at the beginning of the pandemic. Been hooked ever since. Oh by the way it is going to get better 😜. peace from Stan the Alaskan

Love Love LOVE this band it really has everything. As for the lyrics wait till you dive into them Tatiana is an amazing lyricist with deep and meaningful things to say in every song. Note her voice and vocal styles pair up with lyrical meanings within the song. They also mesh perfectly to the music. So damn glad they are back on tour this year pumped to see them again live.

10:43 You will get many more "favorites" the more you delve into the Jinjer rabbit hole. From the instrumental perspective my favorite Jinjer songs are 'Ape' & 'The Prophecy' but t.b.h. I love them all ! They have no bad apple on their tree.

Another band worth checking out, a band that needs more attention from the Metal Reaction Community IMHO: KVELERTAK. This a Norwegian band who sings entirely in Norwegian, but their music is an infectiously catchy and seamless blend of Hardcore, Punk, Rock n' Roll, Classic Metal, Black Metal, Blues, Country and 70s Prog. They'd have been counted among the most important bands in Metal if they were around in the 80s because their music is a tapestry of the history of Rock and you'll see what I mean if you give songs like "Apenbaring", "Trepan", "Nattesferd", "Blodtorst", and "Sjohyenar" a listen. 5 songs among MANY great ones they've written over the years.

The word you were missing is FLOW :)

If you like instrumentation you should check out Who is gonna be the one. Eugene is a beast in that one ;)

please dig deeper, they are around from 2013 and they evolved a lot but even in the pas they had a genious stuff , try ''sit, stay,roll over'' ''beggars dance''(completley jazzy song), they have song implementing reggae...you can see the hip-hop vibe here in Teacher,Teacher...they ended ''Who is gonna be the one'' with 30 seconds reggae outro, just brilliant stuff

Love your reactions bc they are so similar to what I was saying when I first “discovered” this band about 2 years ago!!! I’m with you too as far as the having little to criticize about this band! I’ve been listening as I said for about 2 years and it’s amazing that I haven’t burned them out yet!!! I change up with different bands and even styles of music but this band just does almost everything I love about heavy music!!! Progressive, technical, unpredictable and also brutal!!! I’m an old school metalhead that’s been listening to heavy music since 1980 and I have been so disappointed with the direction of heavy and progressive music ( my two favorites styles) for the last 10 years or so ( save for a few bands of course) but between these guys ( and girl) and Gojira my faith has been restored in heavy music and much like you said I’m embarrassed that I didn’t discover them earlier. Anyway subbed bc I look forward to your journey with this band and I’m quite positive they’ll soon become one of your favorite bands!!
