"Snow Globes" Black Country, New Road Fantano Reaction 

True his twitch chat is the part of his fan base that always agree with him but also only listen to drake lmao

Twitch is generally younger and sadly, that just means they only mainly listen to Hip Hop.

@@AngusKhaw True lmao. Teens only listen to either hiphop, indiepop, or classic rock.

I at one point saw someone say "Trump Supporter music" - which is so hilariously off base.

@@antiallison7321 this is such a bad generalisation, bcnr, squid, and a lot of amazing bands are just a few years off of being teenagers. there's a reason this scene exists, and its the support and passion of young people for music

Rare Twitch chat W

Tbh, the album deserves the praise it gets, BUT. What are fantano fans…. Like…. He’s just a dude giving his opinions… form ur own

They always say some shit like "oh yeah I listened to this, is a 3/10 btw" and then fantano says some positive things abt it and it's like "💯💯MASTERPIECE, HOLY SHIT"

theyre all braindead and follow the leader

Exactly, might as well just like the hook in a song.

ah I see now

Amen. Great song to go on a night walk to.

i genuinely wonder what these people are listening to if 3 minutes is too long for instrumental part of the song

Fuck yeah-I totally got GSYBE vibes from this track and Basketball Shoes. Stellar album.

this song is a screaming crying sing along in your car

also the moment drums stop the song has this empty feeling to it that is really highlighted by the violin. its like a calm after the storm and i love it

@@daytripper1849 I love that because I imagine the drums as thunder in the weather analogy

I love how the repeating guitar carries the rhythm (as opposed to typically drums) and it allows the drums to take center stage with its crazy building, much like the metaphorical snowstorm in the song.

They're normies who are only exposed to ass rap

Ye stans

@@karlmarx5313 shut up rap is awesome, BCNR is awesome, you can like both. These people just aren't exposed to this type of music, it takes time to get into it.

@Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart thanks for keeping the peace and settin the record straight, Mozart

@@jaredandell126 For these.... Mozart is the best artist hahaha

It's gonna be incredible

probably

Fr tho

it will be great i assume but not of all time no lol

omg are you guys serious

me too

Nearly cried listening to it for the first time. Shit is a great song.

Lmao no this song is shit and the drums completely ruin it

@@Top10Dylan The drums are the best part

@@Top10Dylan Local man unable to appreciate anything unconventional. The drums are beautiful, like, how do you not appreciate the catharsis of that moment?

@@man4437 They're not beautiful lmao they sound like they were played by a retarded 8 year old.

For real I think that might be their best song like holy shit it goes so hard

I've already spoiled enough of Ants for myself, so I have been purposely avoiding good will, place where he inserted the blade, etc. More excited for this album than any in a long time.

@@justink8156 You're in for a treat then. Those two and Basketball Shoes are incredible and I kinda wish I could undo hearing them so I could hear them for the first time all over again.

@@TheSLATEcleaner Oh Basketball Shoes is insane, it might be their best song, that's one of the ones I did spoil but thanks! Sad news today huh?

Yeah. Pretty sad. I'm glad they had the output they had though and I'm looking forward the group continuing forward, even if Isaac has to take a step away.

@@TheSLATEcleaner Well said and same. It sounded like he needed to do what was best for his health. Do you watch the channel "Professor Skye's Music Reviews?" If not I think you would dig it, he got very into BCNR only recently and has been discussing every single from Ants so far. He made a nice video about Issac leaving and why it makes him happy as well as sad. I'm hoping Fantano notices him, his channel is unique and he puts in a lot of work.

Idk how to feel about this track, it sounds almost too similar to lift your skinny fists, Absolutely loved everything else on this project though. I’d give it a 9.5/10

i swear when i first listened to this i thought i accidentally put a gybe song on queue. I dont mind the long intro that much imo. And just like a gybe sogm, the build up is worth it. This song is so magical, I love it.

Modest Mouse - World At Large has the same guitar in the beginning.

I agree but I do think it can take a few listens to fully get that and appreciate it.

Yeah exactly, the singing being swallowed by the chaotic drums is pretty much symbolic of what the song is trying to say at its core

@@jakee3368 yesssss oh god it's so good

@@danielblair2684 yes i agree, the singles have all been strong growers, even having listened to the live versions. think fantano will like the album

@@jakee3368 What do you think it’s trying to say. One of the things I love about Isaac Wood as a vocalist is his style which to me sounds like a blend between Chris Martin and a serious conspiracy theorist in a dystopic world, and his spoken word is very intense, but it takes me a few listens to understand what he’s talking about. What do you think he’s talking about lyrically in your mind?

I'm a year late, but what in tarnation is "as appose to" lol

Worst fanbase

true

People complain about that but love Runaway by Kanye West going for 3 minutes too long,

any span of instrumental longer than 1min short circuits their brain I swear. zoomer attention spans i guess

Interpol is amazing

I think isaac is even better than Paul IMO

He will be deeply missed

He reminds me of Win Butler, especially in the new album.

@Apollo 21 Savage same!

No.. i didn't tamper with the audio at all

Damn I thought Chance the rapper released a new song

(this guy doesn't know snow globes don't shake on their own)

@@man4437 based

It clicked with me on my second listen. It’s definitely a more accessible, straightforward direct. However, I don’t think the group loses their idiosyncrasies by refining their sound doing this. I would say this feels more focused and tailored for the band specifically. It might be a grower for you, but I definitely prefer this to the debut.

It's a grower for me as well but still excellent in it's own right. Think the angst of FtFT just clicks faster for me

Well, appreciation for any given singing voice is going to be largely subjective. Some people think Jeff Mangum's voiced is filled with emotion, others think he just sounds whiny. In Isaac's case, he's technically perfectly competent, being able to sing clearly and effectively at different volumes, but what most fans like is the emotion behind it. Of course if it isn't your thing then it isn't your thing. As for the instrumentation, it isn't an overload for no reason. Consider the act of shaking a snow globe. You start at a point of lowest energy, where everything is settled. Then it's shaken, reaching a point of highest energy where the snow is flying everywhere. Then as it settles it returns to the same point of lowest energy it started at. This is what the song recreates, by starting with a single guitar (the point of lowest energy), transitioning into the the drums performing a free jazz esque improvisation(the point of highest energy) and then returning to the original guitar line (the same point of lowest energy). Further, the drums are so high in the mix to purposefully drown out the vocals, even once Isaac starts screaming. The song deals with ideas of futility, much like screaming into a blizzard. Also consider that Anthony is always on the lookout for song using interesting music ideas, and the idea of having the normally melodic instruments perform the role of percussion and harmony while the drums are the ones that perform the melodic element is an interesting idea he was bound to appreciate. TLDR: As a means of putting a symbolism ladden concept into practice purely through the use of music, this song achieves that to the best degree possible. Another song that comes immediately to mind that does the same thing is Heroine by the Velvet Underground, though you can find a lot of great artists doing stuff along these lines.

what does being a fantano stan and not liking this song have to do with each other?

​@@wyntresnephew8552 cause his chat is cancer and I just wanted to say I'm not part of that, idk man Edit: I don't agree with this anymore. I'm more of a Brad taste in music gal myself, but I fucking hate when people claim chats just sheep lmao

@@gilly_axolotl lol fair enough

@@danielblair2684 genuinely great analysis

it defiently grows on you, I like post rock and thats mainly why

I personally loved every single second of it

I disagree personally but see where you’re coming from

they're definitely leaning more into the GY!BE style post-rock side of things here, which I personally love but definitely isn't everyones cup of tea

@@wyntresnephew8552 What if it was 4 minutes?

@@tyunpeters3170 depends on how they spend that extra minute but if you are familiar with really any Godspeed You! Black Emperor albums, you know that some extra time to build up the instruments to a satisfying climax isn't something novel or a huge deal.

Just think of the drums as a snowstorm drowning out the singing. It is about snow globes after all

It's absolutely immense. Perfect juxtaposition against the marching quality of the rest of the music

I have changed my mind, it is good actually

Also, this is a very sad first listen to Ants From Up Here. We will miss you Issac, and will keep supporting the band in their next endeavour.

Good thing that there's no god. The drums are awesome.

the drums are fucking crazy dude what
