TTNG - This Town Needs Guns "Badger" | Alternative Indie Math Rock Magic | Composer Reaction 

GOD i love this album, good high school memories

LOL no way, I would never expect to see TTNG on here! So cool. This album was huge for me as a teen and really got me stoked on the whole math-rock genre; influenced me as a guitar player for sure. I still remember learning to play the song Crocodile from this album and was so proud. It's been years since I've listened to them. Thank you for reacting, and thank you to the one who recommended them!

Omg I love TTNG, especially their Animals album. Please do Chinchilla, and 26 is Dancier than 4 by TTNG!!!

TTNG, let's go! One of my favorite albums

This album is top three math rock for me. I'm not huge on genre in general but these guys are so good

Great reaction. Somehow simultaneously energetic and peaceful Think you’d dig Minus the Bear as well. Good vibes always

animals is a desert island album for me, i will never get sick of listening to it

You've gotta do something off Lavaland by Piglet. The best mathrock album ever.

Amazing album, amazing musicians

Geebz, you need to get more Math reactions like this. MORE TTNG, Look Mexico, Giraffes? Giraffes!, Algernon Cadwallader, Everyone Everywhere, and so much more

This whole album is beautiful, highly recommend it. They also put out a special acoustic version for its 10 year anniversary, and basically redid every song from scratch as an acoustic arrangement. I almost prefer that version to the original.

Omg I never thought I’d see you react to TTNG much less ANYONE react to them! Nobody ever talks about them 😭. I’ve loved them and this particular album for YEARS. would love to see you do more from them cuz I honestly wish it was a different song you heard.

Glad to see you still making content and enjoying music! This album is very nostalgic for me and basically my introduction to math rock.

Good choice brotha, this town needs guns is great

Ohhh TTNG are such an amazing band! It used to be "This town needs guns" but they decided to abbreviate it and forget about the entire name since they come from Oxford town (I am 80% sure about where they come from haha) and they felt they don't really need guns. so now they are just TTNG :) Each album is similar yet so unique, they are simply an amazing band!!

Great album

I love that you found these guys! If you want some fun with time, check out "26 Is Dancier Than 4" off this album.

I think you’d really enjoy Minus the Bear! One of my all time favorite bands

Thank you Geebz

YES THANK YOU

This album takes me back.

Mathrock is the shit! Monomyth bulletproof tiger stereotype are some of my faves

Coincidently I discovered this band a week ago. Mind blowing.

You should react to Lemur or Chinchilla! I love that album

Definitely check out the whole album on your own time it’s so beautiful

Do the whole album!

Really good album, to put it mildly.

Seen TTNG live and the live show experience is pretty special. You need to check out Tera Melos, specifically the audiotree sessions. It’s like between this and Mr Bungle, lol.

"Dog" and "Gibbon" are my favorite songs of theirs. You gotta do more math rock my man, it's highly underexplored.

Oh man please more This Town Needa Guns!!! Chinchilla or Baboon next!

📣 To everybody who says they sound like incubus, check out "Forever and Always" from their First Demo EP. I thought it was some deep cut incubus cover. Also "Adventure, Stamina & Anger" and "Havoc in the Forum" are insanity. "2 Birds, 1 Stone and an Empty Stomach" is audible butter These dudes seriously jam.

This album takes me back. Shoutout to an old friend “Porky” for introducing me to these guys and other math rock bands. Appreciate your reactions and feedback!

The Sound Of Animals Fighting. That’s it. That’s the comment.

I'd given up asking, but maybe now that you've found yourself to TTNG, maybe NOW you'll finally check out Toe ("all I understand is that I don't understand" or "c") and Elephant Gym ("finger" or "midway")?!! Oh gods I hope so 😭😭😭 PLEEEEEAAAAAAASE

helloween - the departed (sun is going Down)

Saw these guys on the "Super CHON Bros 2" tour - CHON, TTNG, Tricot and Polyphia! I was quite familiar with CHON - and got just what I expected from them, but not as familiar with the others: TTNG was excellent musically (it was shortly after this album was released), but kind of shoegaze-like in stage presence - still, I'd see them again if I could. Tricot blew me away with high energy stage presence, complex music played with excellence, and interesting vocals even though they were entirely in Japanese: the band had learned just enough English to introduce themselves - both they and TTNG made a fan out of me! Polyphia could have been *so* much better - I'm not sure why, but they had some guy doing vocals, and he was a complete train wreck - almost certain he was nearly dead of alcohol poisoning, abusive to the audience, and couldn't sing worth spit (probably because of the alcohol.) It took me a couple of years before I listened to Polyphia again, and was much more impressed! Definitely check out CHON and Tricot - "Inai" is a good start for you from Tricot, while "Bubble Dream" is a good starter for CHON 🙂

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT Uchu Conbini, a math rock band from Japan, check out EverythingChanges from them

Maps and atlases- tree swallows houses is another phenomenal math core album. Very different from ttng but still great and crazy technical. Plus the lead singer is also doing taps and shredding crazy guitar patterns while he sings. That album is special

So I just caught one of your slipknot videos from 2 yrs ago. Since you’re a composer you REALLY need to check out Unlucky Morpheus!! A Japanese metal band. The best way I can describe their sound is classical music in the form of heavy metal. They have a KILLER violinist too! The song I recommend is Cadaver/Redavac. It’s literally Cadaver then after they “rewind” and play the exact same composition note for note but completely backwards. They’ll blow your mind. I promise

I recommend Gibbon or Panda off this album

hey man, i'm a huge fan of your channel, and i have a suggestion: please react to the song "Carousel" by Vylet Pony. it's the titular song of an amazing album by her, and it's perfect in every way i can tell. everything works together better than i've ever heard before.

react to crocodile

Man I’ve been watching your reactions for some time now and CANNOT believe you haven’t reacted to The Ghost Inside yet. PLEASE react to Aftermath you won’t regret it. One of the most emotionally charged songs ever created PERIOD.

This album is actually amazing This isn’t the right song for a first listen IMO

Not their best song, but great band!

lol those comments talkin bout TTNG's match to incubus vibes lmaooo , it's too far different , TTNG is more than that ,
