What makes “The Loneliest” better is that they played it as their encore on tour, and it started with Thomas doing a guitar solo on stage with a single spotlight for like 10 minutes. So magical.
This is an interesting reaction. A music producer showed how much he appreciates Maneskin, while many people who are not in the music industry were saying that Maneskin sucks...I am with Blake, I love Maneskin's new album 😍
I am absolutely over the moon with this album. I’ve been stoked about Maneskin since the very moment I heard them and watched them perform. PLEASE keep playing them! They need to have all the exposure they can get. Believe it or not I am a 70 year old grandma and this is exactly what I want to hear. I love that they refuse to be changed or influenced to go mainstream! I love that they stay true to to themselves and people that their panties in a bunch over their language, dress style and erotic interactions need to get over themselves it is fucking 2023…you go guys put it out there and bring up to the forefront because this is what’s happening out there. Maneskin everyone of you blow it out of the stratosphere!
at age 70, I want to be like you! I really hope you get the chance to see them live because they really blow everything up! ;) It has been 13 days I saw them live and cant get over it, just gives me so much energy.
I'm 68 and saw them last year in Philadelphia.Their rock is amazing and brought me back to the sound of 30-40 years ago! For us no longer young it is very nice to relive that pure energy that only rock'n'roll can give! I can't wait to see them again next month at Madison Square Garden!
It is so refreshing & cool to see you reacting to Maneskin’s new album like this. Many so called Italian fans have said the nastiest things about wanting to revoke their citizenship bc they’re not dropping a full album in Italian. I’m Italian and hate the way we treat our own artists. Mexico and the US tend to embrace them so much more kindly, and Maneskin is special. They’ve always sung in English as well. Damiano has said it’s a new challenge for him, sound they’ve captured in rush is years above them. This whole album just felt so major and I just know those live performances will be a whole experience.
I think the comments come from the fact that the on the first two albums especially the second there were more songs in Italian. On this album it's the opposite.
Lovely comment! Unfortunately is cultural in Italy they struggle in changing anything really. Critics and nastiness teaching them every day in the Italian TV and children learn that way too.
@@sandraperlstein79 From the start, Damiano has covered some songs in English. Far before Beggin. They’ve been very transparent from the start when they went to record in the US that it would be an album that’s mainly in English bc Damiano said it’s a new challenge for him to tackle as he still struggles writing in English more. Andrea Bocelli and Laura Pausini have also done this in their career. 🫶🏼
@andrearaspitzu7412 il rispetto non esiste più…. Ma poi se pensi al passato in tanti trattavano male I queen…… è il destino dei grandi e i MANESKIN sono GRANDISSIMI
il popolo italiano è incredibile: per una volta che abbiamo un'influenza ENORME sulla scena internazionale tra l'altro con uno scopo così nobile come far tornare la MUSICA SUONATA in auge, ecco che arrivano i dinosauri del rock e i perbenisti a frenare tutto l'entusiasmo. è un evidentemente segno della nostra mentalità ancora molto chiusa che non è preparata ad un evento così grosso e quindi reagisce negativamente. intendiamoci, io non sono un supporter cieco della band, ma mi piacciono (l'ultimo album è davvero bello) e non posso negare quando contento sono di avere dei rappresentanti di musica (pop) rock riconosciuti a livello mondiale
Tom Morello only featured Gossip. The great and emotional solo in The loneliest is 100% Thomas Raggi the guitar player. The Italian songs, Cool Kids (great arrangement) as well as the loneliest has been produced by their Italian manager and probably made for Teatro d'ira volume 2. Even the USA production did a great job, Il dono della vita is for me the best and complex song of this amazing album. A real musical gift from Maneskin. ❤ Thanks I enjoyed a lot you reaction. Always on point.
I've never listened to Maneskin before this besides Begging and I Wanna Be Your Slave but god damn am I happy this is my "first" look into their music. This is, like you said, one of the best albums I have heard in a while. Jesus.
the lyrics of the italian songs will always hit different. it’s sad that y’all cannot understand them, even the translation don’t made them justice. Pure poetry
Even looking through a translation, there's no denying the italian lyrics are just better. But it is what it is, it's extremely understandable that at this point in their career this is what they want to do, and the album is good as is.
I agree. "Le parole lontane" had my heart from the moment it broke it, when I first listened to it. "...Sento l’ansia che sale, Bevo le lacrime amare. Ti prego lasciami perdere dentro all’acqua del mare Che le parole lontane giuro le voglio voglio urlare." ❤
Maneskin - to me - restores my faith in the future of rock n roll. The band has described their sound as old school rock re-imagined in the modern world (paraphrasing) - but that is exactly what i get from them. And the elements of funk to the sound are also refreshing. The production value of this album in particular blows me away. i've always maintained that recorded music is like adding a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Live music is full by nature - you have volume, presence, background noise of the crowd - no added effects are truly necessary. But to recreate that in the studio, the production requires filler so that a song doesn't lag or experience dead spaces. This album is masterful in that respect. Where there are dead spots - they complement the song. It's a brilliant piece of work.
AMEN AMEN AMEN. studio songs with modern beats are great too but they don't hit as hard as old school rock songs bc u can really hear the instruments through ur soul damiano is a great songwriter and vic, Thomas, ethan are awesome band members
0:34 - OWN MY MIND 5:45 - GOSSIP 9:54 - TIMEZONE 14:43 - BLA BLA BLA 22:07 - BABY SAID 25:53 - GASOLINE 31:55 - FEEL 35:48 - DON'T WANNA SLEEP 40:29 - KOOL KIDS 43:50 - IF NOT FOR YOU 48:04 - READ YOUR DIARY 51:06 - MARK CHAPMAN 55:40 - LA FINE 1:00:03 - IL DONO DELLA VITA 1:05:00 - MAMMAMIA 1:10:30 - SUPERMODEL 1:13:50 - THE LONELIEST
I don't know how to explain this in any other way but Damiano's voice is literally arousing. Like I get physically flustered whenever I listen to a new song.
Maneskin's They are a band that continues to surprise me with every song they release...and I am a fan of Trance music and to compliment a band with a different style from what I listen to and simply because they are really good...the which impresses me and the freshness of the sounds and always like something new always leaves me speechless for their ability to propose new and rock songs...and then they are really good despite their young age, congratulations to these guys who have given a novelty on a musical level
This is not an album but a full buffet, a medieval reception, a pantagruelic dinner, a wedding banquet. I would have left out a few songs honestly, the food is good but there's too much of it. Still, it will be something for their fans to feast on for some time.
But the very idea of a buffet (btw I love all your analogies) is to have a range of choices to please the palate of all the guests. So, if you can choose and pick, you can't really say that there's too much of it.
Feel is great dance song. They constantly amaze as to how good they sound live. One amazing group of talented young people. I’m 64 and my hubby is 70 and we love Maneskin. Nice to hear real talent again.
I am listening to this album (and all their other songs) for 3 weeks now. Non-stop. And I've never experienced something like this. Unfortunately I have no one in my personal environment that I can share this with, so watching you in this video, enjoying their music, makes me so happy! So thank you for that! 🙂 I am going to see them live in Cologne in March and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
You’re not alone!!! I’m sure you will meet so many people to share your love for this amazing band with after the concert! I’m looking forward too to see them in Milan on May the 5th!!! I’m going crazy🤪
Hi, as in the previous comment, you' really far from being alone. Personally I feel somehow 'connected' with anyone else in the world who loves this band. Have fun and kisses from Italy 😉
I love your album reaction. When I saw the band in the final of the Eurovision competition, I said to my daughter, they're going to have a world career. That was clear to any viewer who loves music. the joy with which you discuss the album is contagious. Greetings from Hamburg/Germany
This is the first time I've seen you actually squirming out of your chair with excitement and I've seen you get excited on here a lot. Thank you for doing this, such fun :)
This is legitimately one of my favourite reactions ever! Seeing you get so hyped over Gasoline made me so happy - that song especially gives me chills all over, but every song is a masterpiece in it's own way. It's the best album I've heard in my lifetime
This is so affirming to my instincts as a non musician appreciator of rock. I have everything Maneskin has made available to us, LPs and CDs. I LOVE it all. But this release is so ridiculously well produced, and an evolution for their sound, IMO. But I’m unable to explain why. I took my son to his first rock concert in November of 2022- you guessed it, The Loud kids Tour, Maneskin. We are hardcore fans💥💫❤️.
Maneskin is a breath of fresh air in compared to the music we hear all the time🤣 they deserve so muchh more fame. The music they make involves so many amazing parts , instruments..
@@lawrencedreams rock? i'm pretty i've listened to more rock music then you can ever imagine.I'm talking about the present time..personally for me there aren't anynew bands i like ..in terms of pop rock now yes, Maneskin is the best. A personal opinion though.
@@sushmitaupreti4076 nothing against them, as an Italian musician I’m also happy they represent the genre worldwide. But I wouldn’t call them “a breath of fresh air”. This album is not even that original sounding or experimental tbh, I like his voice and some of the collabs but it’s basic pop rock with some old influences at the end of the day. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that. I see why they have their appeal. They have good presence and energy and u can easily connect with the grooves. But if u really wanna listen to someone who’s pushing the envelope with rock and heavy music that’s not the case… try bmth for example, they always innovated and been trendsetter for rock and metal but still maintained a distintive and original sound. They experimented with all genres from deathcore to pop and edm and even made mainstream pop artists like Ed Sheeran and Halsey get into metal lol. Or even Bad Omens, Cage the Elephant, Dirty Honey, Polyphia, Muse…
I'm 53 and I just love this band!! Got all the albums and right now I'm really getting into Il balla della vita... great album!! But yeah Rush is something else. It's a masterpiece.. ❤
Thank you Blake. Finally someone in USA giving this album the praise it deserves. Other reactors have talked shit about this album. Someone fiving 3/5 or 6,5/10. Either they are deaf or stupid. You cannot deny their capability to write wonderful songs and playing the instruments to deliver them perfectly in studio and on stage. The lyrics of Damiano and his incredible voice. The skills of Victoria and Thomas. The precise drums of Ethan who is like a swiss clock in the beat. Those who don't praise this album should be ashamed of themselves. I hope it will be top 3 in US and worldwide, but unfortunately it will be difficult because of the bad commercial music that most of people are used to listen. Ciao from Italy. PS: Gasoline is a song already performed in 2022, after the start of the war in Ukraine. The song is dedicated to Ukraine and against Putin (Gasoline is referring to gas, petrol that Putin was selling to Europe). Damiano was also shouting fu*k Putin many times after singing this song in various concerts and festivals. Ukrainians love this song and praise Damiano for it and for the love he showed to Ukrainian people. Finally, the guitar solo in The Loneliest is by Thomas. For Gossip the first guitar solo is from Thomas, the second from Tom Morello who appears also in the music video as the security guard.
@@brainstorm0203 Yes. Tom plays the second when he is playing also the guitar in the video. If you notice first he is dressed differently when he is doing the security guard, with a black jacket. Then when he plays the guitar he has a brown jacket. The 26th Måneskin and Tom Morello will be playing live Gossip and the Jimmy Fallon's.
@@brainstorm0203 Tom Morello when he is doing the part of the security guard is dressed all in black/dark grey. When he grabs the guitar to play the second guitar solo changes his dress to be a guitarist and has a brown jacket filled with stamps/signs.
i'm fairly certain the first solo in gossip is not thomas, the tone and style is exactly like tom morello. even when thomas has used an octave pedal (the loneliest) his guitar tone is different
Apart from me being a huge Maneskin fan: this was the coolest reaction i have ever watched. I watched many of your other reactions but I have never seen you like this and it increased the fun I have with this album even more! As this was also my first listen with headphones I have a new favorite in Gasoline. Honestly I loved Teatro d'ira but this is so much better. Can't wait to finally see them live in march!
the reason to why there's a split opinion on this album is because a lot of their older fans miss when they used to do most of their songs in Italian. Their songs in Italian were so gorgeous, the instrumentals and lyrics were phenomenal. Now that they've got a lot more English-speaking fans, they are doing a lot more English songs, and less Italian ones. To me, their English songs are beautiful, but they're missing something that the Italian ones have. I will always love them, even if they only do English songs in the future. However, their Italian songs are what made me fall in love with them, like "Torna a casa" and "Coraline". To me, their Italian songs will always be special because I feel like there's a deeper meaning to them. I still however love the RUSH album, I even went and saw them in concert a few days ago, and I saw them last year in 2022 as well. They truly are a beautiful band all round and will always have a special place in my heart.
Since the release of this new album I was waiting for your reaction. It’s been so exciting to see all your feelings and appreciations. Thank you. Maneskin are just the best! ❤️😘🤗🤟 Now you have to go to their concert and complete the experience😉
This is the second time I’m watching this whole entire video because for some reason there are not NEARLY enough people talking about this album (!!!!) and also your reactions are so genuinely excited that I just find myself feeling as if I’m listening to the songs for the first time again!
Thank you for that intense and amazing review. So many great insights! We saw them in Miami last month. They were SO good, and just crazy energy. They sound great live. Thomas did like a 5 minute solo to introduce The Loneliest. Beautiful band, with an all ages crowd that was into every song. As an old Rock fan they so remind me of when I discovered Queen. The same amazing frontman, great band, and one brilliant track after another.
Omg I’m late to the party, but I love this album! I remember when “BABY SAID” happen, and after like 3 weeks of listening to it on repeat, I decided to check out the rest of the album and I’m just totally blow away!
Your reaction is definitely the best reaction I’ve seen so far. It’s evident how you enjoyed the whole album and your comments were on pitch with the soul of this band! Thank you for reacting ❤ and keep going
When Blake is about to click to stop Gasoline and I cried in my room: "Wait! Not finished yet!" and he looked surprise to discover that it wasn't the end! Haha! What a great band and a great album! My dream: see them in Rome or Milan (I saw them in Montreal last November)! ❤❤
Loved your reaction!! I think (and hope) this album will skyrocket them to success cause they deserve it. I think their magic and uniqueness is the live stage so I hope to see more and more people having fun, dancing, singing and crying at their amazing shows ❤
@@sarah.escheiber9973 it is about a stalker who says to love you but if you don't love him back he could do crazy things. This is because Damiano and his girlfriend were stalked by a crazy man, and they had to move away because of this. Also, the title "Mark Chapman" is the man who stalked and killed John Lennon. Anyway, this song is not based on any particular story, but talks about stalkers in general.
HIS VOCALS HIS VOICE IS SOMETHING ELSE! 🔥 HE CAN DO EVERYTHING! HE IS THE KING HERE 🤯🤯🤯🤯 why I LOVE so much this album!!! “La fine” seems a song by Salmo an Italian rapper he also did GREAT stuff! But I LOVE everything here this album is a BOMB!! 🔥 the production! AMAZING!
Hi Blake, here for a second watch of your reaction, just after the release of five extra songs on the extended album. Thank you (and the hilarious chat) for mirroring my feelings when I first heard this album. 1.2 billion streams of the album (so far) on Spotify suggests it is an entirely appropriate response.
Much love from Vietnam bro , currently live here , but i am from india and following your stuff since 3 and a half years , keep it up we are with you all the time , wait for your songs to listen ❤❤
Gasoline is based on the sound of artillery fire… they are called artillery organs (as in the music instrument organ) for a reason. They have made music of the sounds of war and turned it on Putin.
this is probably the best album review i’ve seen in a long time. and this might be the best album i’ve heard in a long time. this stuff makes me so happy
I was originally just gonna browse the album and download the ones i liked but "il dono della vita" convinced me to actually purchase the physical cd, that song is so beautiful i got shivers
I truly enjoyed your reaction thanks,the best.The pure magic and energy of awesome Maneskin,could not love them or this great album any more than i do,utterly proud of them👏🏼👏🏼💕👍
I first heard of Maneskin mere days before they did a show in near me. I didn't go, and I regret it so effing much. I suspect that one of the reasons songs like Gossip and The Loneliest sound so confident and accomplished is that they were playing them live before going into the studio. This band hit me like an absolute ton of bricks, and I can't get enough of them right now. Even their debut had all the swagger in the world, but Rush! is kind of Sgt. Pepper experience, in my opinion.
I saw Maneskin in concert roughly 2 months ago, in december, before this album was released but "The Loneliest" had been as a single, and I could go on forever about how incredible they are! From Damiano's vocals to Victoria on the bass, Thomas on the guitar and Ethan on the drums. Ive only been to 3 concerts, all in the past 2-3 years and Maneskin are, by far, the best performers. They're just sound so talented! Its like listening to the record but they're right in front of you!! So glad I found out about them and made all my friends and family listen to them lol
Oh Blake, really love your reaction and see how genuine it was. I love love all their albums, the first ones because there are more Italian meaningful and poetic songs and this one because is really "fun". I heard other reactions from Americans saying they are loosing their identity and their "rock" here, but I just think they are just experiencing different genres and also they get more influences from other producers, it's inevitable. But still so damn cool. Love from Italy
Thank you Blake. It was wonderful to see your amazement and amusement alternate, exactly as it happened to me when I first listened to the album. Mammamia and Supermodel seem like two foreign bodies to me too, but I thought it was due to the fact that I've never really appreciated them. "La fine", as can be understood from the lyrics, was written about a year ago, I think for the eventual "Teatro d'Ira Vol. II".
You gotta see them live in concert. Saw them in Miami in December and they truly deliver. The music just explodes through the crowd. It was fantastic! BTW, Damiano recently revealed that, even though he doesn't drink alcohol, he decided to get drunk for recording Kool Kids. That is why his voice is different there. Kool Kids definitely has that Sex Pistols/The Clash punk era vibe. Yup, they managed to transport me transport me to a time long forgotten LOL.
Loved your reaction 😌 I'm so obsessed with this album and it's my fav at the moment🤩 No idea, why so many reviews are literally hatin' on it, like how?! Why?! Are they mad???!! Anyway, I think it's super fun and anyone seeing them love this year is one lucky person!! Songs I tend to gravitate to are: Baby Said, Gasoline, Feel, If not for you. But it's a no skip album!
Many are very shallow and ignorant, they also lack the sense of humour to appreciate songs like blah blah blah and kool kids. I have seen good reviews around like from Kerrang for example and also the album is charting everywhere so .....rubbish it is NOT! I agree it could have been more cohesive although we all know they had to cater for a very broad range of tastes (Italian, Hard Rock, Pop rock etc...) so that's why this decision to put all sorts in, still looking at every song individually they are singles in their own rights, bangers with Gasoline leading for me!
I had the exact same reaction with Gasoline 😂😂 Vic's bass play fucking threw me out of my bed when I listened to it. By fav my favorite song from the album
Hey Blake, I'm so happy that you reacted to this album. Been following you for a while and a Maneskin's fan from the early days. Maneskin definitely woke up the sleeping music soul in me for a long time. What a great reaction, I can't stop vibing with you.
I personally really love their music. I've listened to RUSH! many times before watching this video so some things made sense to me now, more than before. It's soo fun watching your reactions Blake, because as a musician, it's good to know some stuff and hear all kinds of different rhytms, tones, genres... Thanks for that
Well, you can practically check any of their songs - they almost never miss. Almost all of their Italian songs have youtube videos with English translations - but the best of these channels are "ItsValeria" and "LaFabi". In fact another great listen/live performance is LaFabi's "La Paura dell'buio" (Fear of the Dark) - which has a magical acapella ending.
I just remember my classmates bullying me beacause I liked maneskin in 2017 and now I'm just so proud of them! I went to their gigs at the very beggining of their carreer and I always thought they had "it". Recently I went to the loud kids tour and they are just rockstars now... I' ve noticed a huge change and I can't even say how happy I am for them ( and maybe a little jealous my precious secret gem is not so secret anymore) wish them the best! Hope this jump in their career lasts as long as possible
Your reaction to "Teatro D'ira" played a big part in me becoming hardcore Maneskin fan. I was skeptical at the first listen of "Rush", because of their management shift. I was kind of expecting for the band to be driven in a very commercialized direction and I was looking for the signs. Listening the album for the second time along with your reaction allowed me to truly appreciate the professionalism behind this creation. To me from "Own my mind" all the way to "Il dono della vita" the album sounds very cohesive. If I were to make decisions for the album I'd drop the last 3 songs, they have completely different vibe. And also releasing these pieces prior releasing the album, esp. "Supermodel", kind of contributed to my skepticism about the album. But it turned out to be a pleasant surprise and I am happy for them.
an underrated album, it has a texture that is not easy to 'see' on first listen because it has many catchy riffs and a dragging rhythm, and many people confuse easy listening with ease in execution and design. On the contrary, it is a very sophisticated album in every little detail or choice of arrangement and variety of sounds and styles
Hi! Loved loved loved your reaction!! I was so excited to have you react and your reaction was everything! I love Manaskin and everything they do! I’ve listened to this album non stop since it dropped. Thank you ❤
It’s a shame he can’t do it in the concerts 😆 I’ve watched a few live performances of this song and I think the drunk record is absolutely the best. And the video is soooo good too. “Bleah” 😂
@@annarae2396 I'm waiting for "making of" 😁 He really looks drunk in the video 😄 I even think it will be my second favourite their video after Wiwi Jam "I wanna be you slave". They are all kool kids, but Damiano's face is everything to me 😍
@@LainJellyfish, the Wiwi Jam’s IWBYS is my favorite too! I always thought that the Eurovision perform of Zitti e buoni was the spark and the Wiwi jam’s IWBYS the fuel that bring them to the deserved popularity ❤️
YASSS!! THANK YOU for this reaction!! I've been coming to your channel every day several times waiting for this video. Amazing and the album is so freakn amazing.
