Pianist-Composer reacts to "Unravelling" by Muse - a new song finally!

Описание: testing the waters here! muse is a band that's been with me for a long time, and although i'm one of those people who prefers their pre-2006 stuff, i'm still a fan and follow everything regardless of how much it appeals to me. in this video i take the chance to dive into some of my history with the band and my perspective - i'm pretty critical, but out of love. i still get really excited about new releases, so i held off listening to this one until i could try it out on my channel - figured, why not? and i've always been interested in doing reactions to more music i might like but haven't ever taken the time to delve into. this one is on a band i know deeply, but i'm looking to branch out as well. not sure how much it'll dilute the algorithm since i've been happily doing exclusively game music for now, but i figure it's not too distant a topic. there are some channels i personally love that do a mix of all kinds of music, so models exist out there. we'll see whether this gets shown to a new viewing audience, or if it just gets seen by my existing audience who would obviously prefer more game music. let the algorithm games begin!!
