REACTION: The Warning Interview with Ones To Watch (Chef's Choice) 2024 

Yep. And quite often the owner of the donut shop gets the biggest cut. With 7 months of negotiation before sighing with Lava, I'm guessing the girls made out better than that....:)

Polo & Pan is another

You have to listen L'impératrice. I so thankful with Ale because that recomendation Daft Punk vibes and Jamiroquai traces.

It really is possible the best interview I have seen. Not the typical questions you might hear. He really talked with them on a human to human level. It was refreshing.

That was a great interview.

I may need to wait a week or two but I'm hoping to get to that one, thanks!

@@glennandadriansrocktalk you'll enjoy it.

That was one of the better interviews I've seen before this latest round.

That interview was really good, definitely one of my favorites.

@@paulrowe006 True

It's strange. I studied music in the States as a kid in the 60s and 70s, and Do was always fixed to C. Maybe depends on the teacher's history or the era.

@@mexicanopolis9390 thanks 😊

Very thankful their dynamic is not like Oasis :)

The Kinks.

I hope I got your doubt right! 😂🙈👍🏼

I'm assuming we'll get a full blown US tour in Spring/Summer 2025. I'm looking forward to OK & TX dates as well, although I get to see them at Rocklahoma Labor Day weekend.

@@scottinokc Rocklahoma is too far for me. I'm south of Dallas. Plus I'd rather not see them at a festival

@@spidernose Totally understand. As it stands now, I will see them at 4 headline shows and 2 festivals in 2024. If we do get that Spring/Summer 2025 tour, I'll probably be taking a long road trip and attend as many shows as I can afford 😆

@@scottinokc I've not seen them live yet. Really looking forward to it

@@spidernose I saw them twice on their UK tour in April. Those were amazing shows! Upcoming, it's Rocklahoma, MMRBQ, Pittsburgh, and Toronto. I REALLY want some closer dates next year!

I don't understand the Anton hate at all. I always use the Rush example, if Rush never changed their sound/style from the first album, they wouldn't have had the 40+ year career they had. The guys were never afraid to experiment with their music, even if it meant they lost some fans along the way. They made the music THEY wanted. I see that with The Warning. Is KMF different from QotMS or Error? Of course, but that doesn't mean it's bad, just different. Just my $0.02

@@scottinokc It's not so much that the obvious change is not to everybody's liking that bothers me. Taste is personal. It's the blaming and/or bashing of Anton over it that I object to. As respectfully as possible, of course... 🤘🏻⚡🤘🏻

I absolutely 100% concur. All three of them love effects… probably Dany and Ale most of all based on their own experimenting with it on this album and for example Ale’s personal taste in music. I keep starting and never finishing an analysis video on the production sounds in this album.. but i never finish because it gets too long

@@don-music well, editing is also a fine art, isn't it? Maybe ask your son for advice, he seems to know a thing or two... 😄

I don't get all the hate towards him either, so what if you don't like how a song sounds. even my favorites bands have songs that I can't stand, but I still like the bands and don't go bashing producers for having an idea. sure he may have given them ideas and stuff, but in the end it was still their choice weather or not to use certain ideas. over all I think this new album is a banger. I've almost wore my cd out playing it so much. also almost blown out my windows more than a few times as well.

I love when Pau has the SAT words :) it makes sense. She's right, they are English words after all!

Maybe I'm the one overthinking, but based on TW's past as far as depth of lyrics and metaphors and explorations into the twists and turns of psychology, I can't be the only one who thinks that the meaning behind Automatic Sun is about more than just the responses they've given that it's about being attracted or drawn to someone irresistably. I know they said they tried to keep things simple on this album, and that they have always said they want their music to be interpreted and relatable in a way that fits the individual listener, so I suppose they could just intend for psychomatic to mean "not otherwise explainable", but it seems like that is the "light" or "simple" explanation and as often seems to be the case with the lyrics they use they often seem to write them to be interpretable on multiple but parallel levels and/or adjusted to the listener's internal narrative. But at least to me, it sounds like there is also a deeper darker level (and more literally fitting the definition of psychosomatic) of a relationship that is unhealthy going both ways, but which the protagonist cannot give up even though they know they should (insert metaphors re: irrestistable gravitional forces and inevitable unavoidable fate of burning up in a giant fireball here). Agree/disagree? Sound or style wise, from the beginning it has always been clear that they want to experiment with and learn to do as many things as they can, so it is no surprise that at some point they would do some stuff that is a bit closer to "mainstream" and play with more electronics and effects. ANd they are pretty intelligent, so they probably realize that this is a great time on many fronts for them to try out that direction to grow the fan base, especially the younger fan base - part way into a 5-album contract, fanbase growth on a good trajectory, selling out as a headliner on tours= a great time to do some more radio-friendly pop/rock anthems that sooner or later they were probably going to want to have fun with anyway. I don't love the studio version of HYCAD, too "thin" and electronic for my taste but obviously they like music that is more in that vein so it's no surpise they would try out that sound- and the live versions with the bass line all over the place carrying the whole song, and the powerful chorus and harmonic backing vocals and that keyboard hook sound make it sound like a 1980s hard rock anthem so yeah, I like the song as they play it live quite a bit! (and even most of their older stuff sounds better live than studio- which seems typical of recent music (provided it can actually be played live in the first place), but is also a sign of a band that is both a master of their craft and also continually improving and adding those improvements to their live shows. Likewise the co-writing and different production, they tried it and now we'll see what they do next time. Overall I liked more of the material on the previous albums, but live the new songs are still hard and heavy, Ale has some pretty cool bass parts and some new tone (i.e. pick playing right at the bridge) and also a little more prominence vocally than in the past, and Dani has developed (or at least is using, maybe not actually "new") a smoother tone for some of the new songs (which to me sounds a little more generic post-90s pop rather than her previous undeniably-Dani styles of delivery, but another skill is another skill!)- and the older songs and some new ones still see Ale playing with her fingers and Dani taking the same vocal approach as previously so I'm not too concerned that the new sound and different approaches mean anything beyond what they are. Personally I hope they don't continue too far in this same direction on future albums and take what they've learned from the co-writing experience as growing skills and/or options that they can choose to use where they feel it fits. I appreciate that all along they have been trying new ideas and changing things up across genres and approaches and that to continue with their dream project long term there does need to be some strategy involved as well, so as long as they contimue evolving (no pun intended) and don't entirely leave things they've done in the past behind and maintain the fierce guardianship of their ongoing project all is well. No band with a long career and continous exploration in numerous directions is going to make all of their fans totally happy with every song or album they do. The analogies made elsewhere re: Rush etc. are spot on as long as TW can keep the creativity and passion going and not get "stuck".

Re: Dani's voice on some of the songs on KMF- just realized it's actually just a more refined and mature version of how she sang on some of XX1 Century!- we just haven't heard her sing that way much for a while but she's actually had it in her back pocket all along waiting for the right time and place to use it again...

They still did great with the limited time they had, but now more of my generation is gonna be warned ⚡️

Hope not.

Maybe Anton can put his own band together and be called The Harming.

It's a good album, @78Mustang if the goal is to gain new fans who are more accustomed to the pop-dominated sector of the industry, since many of the resources and style that Anton uses in the album are widely used there, gaining shine, but losing depth. I will gladly watch the videos where they perform the songs, because the Villarreal sisters are very good on stage, but it is not an album that I find attractive to listen to.

Anton did exactly what he was asked and paid to do by DPA/TW... put your ego where you mouth is and show us your perfect work... surely it is better than anything Anton has done with the groups and videos he has worked on...
