Thank You Scientist - Son of A Serpent (Live at Backroom Studios) 

That solo (improvised, I assume) was just filthy. Tom's one of the best in the business, and easily one of the most underappreciated, especially when it comes to being part of a band rather than the focus of it.

I went to a performing arts high school with a really diverse instrumental program, and just could never find musicians to play more technical/interesting shit. Like I'm only pushing 30, and when I see the rare instance of something unique like what you guys are doing, it makes hopeful I'll still find a group of like minded talented musicians like this to play with one day. You guys are fuckin' sick no joke.

That much talent should not coexist in a single band but OH BOY thank God it does! I fell in love with your music since the first song I heard.

"But I'm sure there's a place To bury the old me and start anew Tired of the things I put me through How much can I lose?" These are such powerful lyrics. This song is such an honest evocation of hitting a personal rock bottom and finding the resolve to push to something better. Thank you for this.

This has become my favorite song by the band

RIP Thank You Scientist

Seriously this song and the whole new album has been spectacular. Very accurate to my life in recent years and thoughts ive had. Its almost like I was meant to find it, and I'm convinced it has helped me massively. I've been listening to yall almost exclusively for weeks. Cant wait to see you live someday!

Cody’s bass lines in this absolutely slap.

The part at 1:25 sounds so goddamn good. I've listened to it like 20 times in a row now.

Cody Mccory is one of the best modern bassist. Every song I've heard stands out so much.

goddamn that bass, that guitar, the drums, sax and trumpet, violin and even the theremin and of course that voice, all in amazing unity, such an awesome band

Listened to this album for the first time during the very first lockdown in my city. Been listening to this album ever since. This song, Anchor, Terraformer, and Swarm being my all time faves. I'm forever cherishing this album, thank you for creating such a masterpiece.

Love this! My favourite from Terraformer 🙌 Can't wait to see you guys Thursday 😁

I love you guys!!!!! come to México peachy marry cones

God dammit I want to be in a band like this.

Absolutely killer solo from Tom!

Thank you Thank You Scientist! I discovered you marvelous musical masters two weeks ago and from the very first listen to Teraformer I was absolutely mind blown. Since then I've committed the whole album to memory and simply can't get over just how spectacular it is. As a saxophonist and a huge prog metal fan this is everything I could ever want in an album. You guys are my new number 1. Again, thank you so much for your beautiful work.

I am already in love with your guys' music and then I heard this and immediately fell in love with it. ive listened to it like 20 times just today. this song is amazing and you guys are amazing. cant wait to see you guys in December when you're in my area

There was a day where one of my bosses tried saying you guys didn't make good music because "they're just showing off the fact they can play." I was just there thinking "isn't that the fucking point of making music? Expressing yourself and showing what you can do?"

This is simply splendid. Just discovered the band and the Terraformer album which I am picking my way through now. Slow progress as I have to keep listening to each track over and over.

This song was probably my favorite for a while. I love every album you guys have put out. I Love Stranger Heads Prevail for its prog rock, and I love Maps of Non-Existent Places for its hard rock, but man Terraformer is just a beautiful mix of both. i really love what you guys do and im a huge fan of the music. I've never seen any band do what you guys do, and i want you to know the music you make is outstanding on a whole other level. Cant wait for the albums to come in the near future!

i can't pick a favorite between this song or swarm, but this live version is pushing me toward the former. amazing work as always!!

them feels when the solo starts....that tease of a few miliseconds ....sigh

And ur music came to Brazil kkkk great job!!! Powerful sound!!! \o

Incrível demais o som de vocês! Abraços do Brasil 😁

Theremin 🔥

I still don't understand how you manage to make two very hard to comprehend music so accessible, truly one of music industry's best kept secret (tho it shouldn't be)

Just found you guys, absolutely wowed. I’ve been a long time prog and metal guy, but lately, heavy does not have much appeal, and this is a beautiful pivot for me. And my goodness, the lyrics are so wonderfully growth based, and exactly what I’m looking for in my next phase. Amazing job gents, a new fanatic is born.

Back in the day I used to do uber eats during quarantine on my bicycle while listening to Thank you scientist. I have a real job now but sometimes I miss those days.

This band has been the greatest discovery I have ever had……simple

this is absolutely fantastic, every song i hear of yours is unique, passionate and mastered beautifully. i couldnt imagine balancing all those different tracks to create such unique tones, not to mention the time you play in. tool can eat their hearts out, this is fuckin righteous

Man these drums

I listen a little King Crimson in your music guys. You're freaking awesome, new fan here!!!!

If you ever do a tour across the Midwest, maybe come somewhere close to Colorado? My friend told me you all had a new album out because I had bought the other two and the EP. This track was the first that played when I followed my friend's link for Spotify. This track literally had me in tears because things have been difficult: "Don't know why I feel so low..." That lyric hit really hard partially because I have diabetes and I'm not saying that diabetes and depression are best friends, but I am saying that diabetes doesn't mind inviting depression over even though it knows I don't have the room to entertain. Low sugar; feeling low -- they kind of become synonymous, and it's not like the USA does anything to help people who are struggling (side note: props for putting out Life of Vermin). Rambling, I know, but I love the new album because it contrasts nicely with the darker elements in Stranger Heads Prevail and confronts struggle while still finding joy where it can. I love your work. This comment may mean little to others, but I appreciate the opportunity to say something, and I hope you keep writing and playing new stuff and just thank you for doing the things.

I always love seeing Joe's shirts! After Pun Pun and Cat Bus, looking forward to seeing what the next anime/manga one is haha. Thank you for the video, it's a fantastic performance - looking forward to the next time you hit Western Canada =D

These guys are great live!!

I think i found a new best band

3:03 is everything

I didn't know Wil Wheaton had mad guitar skillz!

Seeing these boys in 4 days!! Mad hype!!

You are great! Your music is the best thing that happened to my ears this year. 😁😂✌️

I'm in love with the soloist's tone

More! More! More, please! Thank you so much Thank You Scientist

Just..... Amazing!!!

Awesome!

yoooooo that theremin though :0

This is my favorite band of all time. I love you guys. You guys are my biggest musical influence. Hopefully one day I can write songs as good as you guys can. Listening to Tom's guitar playing has inspired me to practice more and become a better guitar player. Seeing you guys at motorco was the best concert I've ever been to in my entire life.

I really love you guys, thanks for this beautiful work

I found this band a week ago on my Coheed Station on Pandora... I'm so very in love with their music 😭💕

Bass is on fire!

So good! Thank you all for the great music, and a big hug from Chile (South America)

This is so good. SO good. Obligitory: "Right out the windooooooooow"

You guys are absolutely awesome. so much talent it's incredible.

I found y'all just yesterday, and I'm thoroughly mind blown with how profoundly gorgeous and bad-ass your music is. Thank you. Greetings from India.

You guys are amazing! Greeting from brazil

EPIC

Amazing guys! Love this song. Saw you guys in Hamden, CT.

Killing it as always. Tom especially murdered that solo. Smooches from San Francisco!

Absolutely the best band to come out in a loooooong time! I just got my double lp of this album in and am blown away by your music every time I hear it. Easily top 5 best albums of all time for me. I hope to see you guys next time you're in Nashville!

I was listening this on the bus, just to see this in my notifications when I got home.

Bumped onto Swarm at random on RU-vid last year and became a fun instantaneously. Exceptional musicians, creativity, feel and balance across the board! Kudos to one and all!!!

Well well. i like this.

Insane

God this song is good, would love to see you guys live some time if you're ever in the west coast

Your music makes me feel better in this pandemic times. Thank u to us for make amazing music

Best band ever

Please come to Europe anywhere around Luxembourg. France, Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands, I don't care, but somewhere I can drive to. PLEASE

Very nice drumming!!!

Que capos son!

Favorite song on the album. Also, AJ could effin get it

the solo was better than the album version here

Proper af!!!

Drummer is absolutely fucking loving it. Gonna see your asses live les goooooo!

That was pretty epic.🐛

Totale Könner ihres Faches, alles Virtuosen in dieser Band. Amazing, mindblowing. Die Synchronisierung des Sängers mit dem Gehörten könnte besser sein. Unterm Strich: großartige Musiker, denen es wohl nicht um das Kommerzielle geht.

YEAH TOM

this is a mtfucking art !!!

4:00

'Like' for the unexpected ending 😂

I found out about Thank you Scientist a few weeks after your concert in St. Paul. You guys are one of my favorite bands now. I wish I'd discovered you guys a month earlier.

I was gonna watch a video about a game, but the algo recommend me this so I'm gonna go to Spotify now

Tom, you're using Boogie now. That's cool 😊 and with that solo, it was creamy amazing 😊

1: you guys are awesome 2: the drummer looks like rupert grint (ron weasley)

Loving this new album, my dudes. Thank you guys instead of the scientist.

Come to Peru!!
