Your reaction to Sesh The Seven Seas is better than I could have ever hoped for when I was originally making the demo. Glad you dig it man ❤️🔥👌🏴‍☠️

I love teminite's devotion to his style. Instead of following the trends, teminite has stayed in his own lane. Over the past few years, the only thing that has changed is the quality of his productions. With this album, teminite has showed that he can wrap his style around virtually any genre. Please don't change Sam, just keep getting better.

I hate how some people were writing this off as just a pirate themed bass album that was mediocre. This album could potentially be my favourite released this year, it is certainly not just another album. Teminite's production is above that of many other producers in my opinion and his style is so unique.

Teminite will be the only person capable of inserting a random ass Beethoven themed part into a dubstep and make it work the way it did in The Kraken. I fucking adore that part, simply for the fact that it feels so out of place yet is so fucking awesome. No one will be able to replicate it.

One of the most creative, thematic and branching albums I've ever heard in electronic music. I remember the excitement he had when talking about the album on a podcast with Skybreak months before its release; needless to say that fun attitude presented translated perfectly into the final production. Very inspiring project and was fun seeing you enjoy it all the way through along with myself!

Best dubstep album in a very long time i believe

This album is the culmination of the Piratestep. It has everything: the pioner, bass, glitch-hop,riddim,melodic dubstep and much, much more. Teminite, Kill the Noise & VR's albums show us how they can change the way we hear dubstep normally. And there's no doubt for the next year so many people do tracks very similar to all we heared from those 3 albums

I feel Teminite has always delivered some of the best musicality in bass music since I discovered him with his Hero remix in 2014. The groove is always on point, the melodies always hit those sweet spots, and the whole concept is rock solid. Again, one of my favourite artists delivering a no skip experience

God, this album is over a year old now, and it STILL blows me away. I've only enjoyed this more and more as I kept listening to it. The Deep and Hell Raiders are just absolute masterpieces that will likely always be two of my favorite songs of all time from any genre, in an album where every track is just so good. We need more stuff like this. Just dripping with energy, fun, personality and general love for the craft.

When you listen to this album, you can tell just how much love, care, and enjoyment went into the creation of it. That's why, in my opinion, Teminite is one of the best dubstep acts. His music doesn't feel tied down to a specific genre or subgenre. It just feels like he does what he loves, and tries to make unique and fun music, and you can really tell by listening through his discography. Anyway, amazing album.

Bit of cool music theory for you, the last chord on The Deep actually is the V chord in the key, which sets up a bit of suspense and is resolved in the very first chord of the next song, being in the same key which I think is absolutely fantastic.

I love Teminite (and Omar Varela). There's no question about it. Pirate themed tracks usually make me roll my eyes because of how "cringe" and over the top the "pirate" bit of the track is. But this is absolutely stellar, very exceptional to the ear. My favourite tracks are: -Electroctopi (the "Space Laces" ID, this is like Space Laces with sprinkled in Au5. The second drop just baffles me) -Hell raiders (The Omar Varela Collab. The basses in the drops are so chunky and I love the choir added in the drops that add a grand feel to the track) -RTBF (yh....must I say more?) -Kraken (sound design is amazing and the predrop vocal gives me CHILLS) -Ghost ship (loved the drops alot. I wished it was longer) -Pirate after-party (I missed this teminite style so much) Even the tracks like sesh the seven seas and Thundering typhoons (Which have the overly pirate themed vocals) don't feel left out as they are carried by the amazing musicality that will get stuck in my head. Sail away and plunder are also really good gems.

40:25 never seen so many facial expressions in 10 seconds. Amazing!

This is probably one of the few albums in dubstep and bass music that feels like a consistent story from beginning to end

35:00 in and I finally understand that Teminite himself is in the audience!

37:28 His reaction on plunder was really good to see

both teminite’s brostep and melodic styles are so recognisable the signature growls and the incredible melodies all scream his name and i love it

Wow, this genre isn't really my go to, but holy fuck I'm only on song 4 and this album is absolute fire. I'd never heard of teminite until now, but holy shit you got a new fan!

I loved the reactions where Connor just didn't know what to do or say lol. Reminds me of when he first listened to Vaultage 3. What an incredible album

literally had to double take Sesh the Seven Seas, wasn't expecting such a comedic banger

Edit: Forgive me for this mess of a comment. I've not commented on youtube for over a year or so, so I may repeat or not delve in to some things I said below properly. Does anyone care, nah not really I just thought I would give you fair warning. Genuinely, this album has truly made me reflect on a lot on what I do with my production, mixing and especially musicality and has made me realise the true importance of all of those combined. The sounds are so aggressive, full of flavour and juice like a perfect steak (yummy) but yet are so varied and consistent in delivery and I truly appreciate that so much. A lot of tracks nowadays I feel have way too much of what I somewhat call a citreous sound and lack that bit of needed power in the mids and lows to get you moving (I myself fall into this category). The production presented in this album combined with the flow of those sounds legit turned my arms in to tentacles. The musicality in this album has made me somewhat passionate, jealous and ashamed at the same time. Passionate because the stuff that we get here is fabulous and made me wonder how to achieve such atmospheric melodies myself to really lift up my intro and mid sections. Jealous because... I'm not explaining, listen to "The Deep". Ashamed because I once had an opportunity to have personal piano lessons and while I did take them, I really did not take proper advantage of them, only using them to learn how to essentially play covers and while I could play Fur Elise like a mad man I did not take in the music theory side of things and didn't get the whole point of those lessons. Looking back, my teacher was trying to help me with that but I didn't see it. Lesson is, make sure you're going in to those lessons for the true and correct reasoning and not waisted the professional's time playing "Alan Walker - Faded" on the piano for an hour. The mixing in these songs are what I aspire to achieve. The kicks and snares are so present to the point where they sound like they sit nicely on top of the track rather than being mixed in to the tracks (if that makes sense, sometimes I talk nonsense). I'm just sat here just analysis Plunder and am just in awe in how every frequency spectrum is busy but organised and clean and how the whole drop stays at a very consistent - 5 to -4 LUFS for most of the duration of the drop without any soft clipping device ,from what I've seen using "Schope" (a visual plugin that shows the waveform of the track that it's placed on. Sorry I'll stop sucking up to Teminite but I'll say 2 more things: 1, the theming is fantastic and unique for me at least, I haven't really seen a pirate dubstep track personally but be free to tell and recommend me other tracks like this just in case I'm ignorant. And 2: "Every time I'm in the street, I hear 36:57 2x" sorry "I couldn't resist mate." get the reference there?

My absolute favorite track was Electroctopi. The song in itself is a journey within the journey of the entire album. And the originality as well, mad tune 🙌

I just recently came across this masterpiece of an Album, I've been a fan of Teminite for years and hearing this has just been so 🔥

Def my fav album to drop in a while. Especially The Deep, it gives me a feeling like no other!

Was kind of hoping for a the brig collab

This album is a perfect example of just how great of an artist Sam is. So much style, so much passion. Sail Away and Pirate Afterparty gives off classic Teminite vibes. Such an amazing job

I’ve never smiled so much during a review and that tells you everything about this album!! So refreshing with so many cool and fun ideas!!

54:04 his face says it all

Honestly this album is one of my favorites that has ever came out.

This is literally the greatest album I've heard in SEVERAL years. AAH!! :D Edit: I'm actually CRYING for track #7... WTF?? That's NEVER happened to me before! NEVER! :O

As you said, a breath of fresh air... FUCK this album is good....

It was a pleasure to listen to this reaction and also I could listen the whole album again which was really wonderful. Thanks for the experience that you created with this video. Keep it up dude. :DDD

this is 2010 dubstep with 2021 touch.. perfect

Ghost Ship is honestly the sound that's been missing from EDM for so long. Such a fucking banger. Wish more artists strayed away from the same boring Riddim trends and kept building off of brostep and improving it.

Damn, wish I was here for the stream, that was awesome

Honestly best album he's ever done and its quite a shame most labels are too afraid to allow artists to try something new. I respect Sam for staying true to himself even it means having to self release everything.

I’ve never heard Terminite until I saw this video… thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥

Teminite always delivers. When he drops a tune, you already know it's going to spank.

This is such a awesome release. It feels like an epic adventure!

Hearing the ghost ship drop for the first time is an unforgettable experience

finally mannn i was waiting for your review of this album......

The pirate them for this album feels like a front for Teminite to make an extremely wacky experimental album and Im all for it

Personally Pirate Afterparty is my favorite. It has the most dubstep type I was looking for, for like 3 years.

im so glad im the creator of the official plumber meme on teminite's twitter it happened on discord and honestly it was the most fun i had with music in a big time !! thanks so Much for Sam creations i love them so much

The year just started. And i already can say, with confidence. That this EP is gonna be one of the best of the year

He's the GOAT producer, in my opinion.

this is the kind of music I can't help but start conducting to when I hear it lol, it's absolutely brilliant

U need to watch the music video that comes with Raise the Black Flag!!! It's on RU-vid! Watch it! Reaction or on your own, either way, you just need to see it! The song and video were practically made for each other!

Hell yeah, this album is definitely near the top of my list for the year! Are you planning on doing a video on SWARM's recent Fight For Your Life EP btw? That's easily another top contender for best release of the year IMO

33:12 I wonder if someone has used this as a pre-drop breakdown yet? Reminds me a bit of breaksh!t

It is really good, damn I got to listen to some more Teminite. Any recommends? I always respected him but never got into his music cause it was associated with toxic rhythm game community most likely, but he is a fantastic producer

Really nice analysis, agree with most of what you said !!! BTW (talking about comeback) Kill the Noise released his new song today ("Don't Look Back") !!

que genial album te teminite, hice mi reaccion junto a ti bro, que geniales reacciones traes a tu canal

NawtyStep, you said before the first track, that its about the music. To me, thats right. HOWEVER - Raise the black flag is so much better with the music video. It amplifies the theme so much. Its an awesome music video

Sail Away is my favorite, kind of a shame you didn’t like it as much as the rest 😅 Top 5 right now would be 1. Sail Away 2.Pirate Afterparty 3.Plunder 4.Hell Raiders 5.Electroctopi

AWESOOOOME

also I love how he totally didn't explain what was meant by sesh

My jaw was just hanging open when I first heard Ghost Ship, couldn't believe it.

Really REALLY missed out on seeing the music video "Raise the Black Flag." P.S: Electroctopi is literally Lofi-Step and I've never heard anything like it and it's my new favorite song now.

My ranking of the album: 1. Kraken 2. Sail Away 3. Plunder 4. Thundering Typhoons 5. The Deep 6. RTBF 7. Ghost Ship 8. Electropi 9. Sesh The Seven Seas 10. Hell Raiders 11. Pirate Afterparty I understand if you disagree, it is very hard to rank them because they are all soooo sick.

1:17:23 after hearing the lyrics he started seeing the light

Pirate afterparty and plunder have dome really heavy Savant vibes here and there

me when the Plunder hits: "Row, row, row your boat~"

Overall I really enjoyed the whole experience but not gonna lie I'm in love with the last part of the album, with this I mean last 4 tracks! (Hell Raider, The Kraken, Electroktopi and Thundering Typhoons) I think it's cuz they're the little experiments of Teminite, don't remember listening to him like this! This was just after my second listen tho. Will probably listen to it again like 5 times before making conclusion but so far that's what I think :D Also would love to know if Thundering Typhoons has influences of Celldweller or am I just thinking gibberish (?)

Song is a, hands down amazing

Best album of 2021 no question. This is exactly the kind of stuff we need more of.

I used a mashup of Plunder and Stormbringer for making one of my characters, funnily enough.

2:06 - Raise the Black Flag 11:25 - Ghost Ship 15:44 - Sail Away 22:52 - Pirate Afterparty 30:07 - Sesh The Seven Seas 36:23 - Plunder 43:35 - The Deep 49:44 - Hell Raiders 59:07 - The Kraken 1:06:48 - Electroctopi 1:13:45 - Thundering Typhoons You're welcome :D

What a highlight

52:35 bro got so focused on the song that forgot he was on live 💀
