    Personally, you offer a fluff-free and genuine opinion on cool ass albums dude. You’re open-minded and not only dissect the music, but the lyrics as well. There’s tons of people doing music reactions/reviews on RUclips but this channel has been a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work homie!
    Some other albums for your consideration:
    Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
    Animal Collective - Centipede Hz.
    Animal Collective - Time Skiffs
    Fiddlehead - Death is Nothing to Us
    🍻

    I don't know if it's your style really, but Iliinois by sufjan stevens is an album that I first heard a year ago and it consistently gives me goosebumps every single time.
    Amazing harmonies, amazing lyrics, amazing production.
    For me it's a 10/10

    These comprehensive list videos are a really good idea, and i'm happy to see it looks like they will be a trend for your channel. Music is a medium where you often don't form your final opinion on a song/album until you've spent some time with it so its cool to see where these albums sit with you after some time. This is quickly becoming my favorite music review channel.

    this is a really good list tbh. i think you should consider albums like elliott smiths XO or self titled, dave bixby’s ode to quetzalcoatl, or hi how are you by daniel johnston would be an interesting reaction. thank you for these reactions btw they make my day

    Really appreciate you reacting to some of these albums that don’t get much RUclips coverage, and enjoy the chill vibe you bring. A special request for me is an album called Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain, its a collaborative album made by 2 of the best Japanese post-rock bands, MONO and World’s End Girlfriend, and its my favorite album of all time. Its not a very popular one at all, has almost no representation online, so itd be awesome to see you react to it.

  • @johncampbell756
    @johncampbell756 Год назад +5

    Grace is my favorite album. You need the expanded version of Live at Sin-e. The original ep was 4 songs. The expanded version is 2 CDs/1 DVD with 21 songs plus actually interesting banter. More covers than originals, but just him on electric guitar (and one a capella song) is enough. His version of Strange Fruit starts with a David Gilmore style solo. The Live in Chicsgo DVD is the best complete live performance, plus the original Grace making of oress kit. Sketches has a few great songs on it. .

    Dude - your summary here for all 40 of these albums is probably better than most single reviews of each album. Love your channel, love that you're so passionate...and yeah, Grace is a good shout for number 1 I think. If you really want to geek out, watch Andy Wallace who produced Grace on 'Mix With The Masters' just silently listening back to his final mix of Hallelujah...very moving.

    I found your channel some weeks ago and been enjoying your reactions a lot! You are genuine and open minded to music and you are definitely one of the best music reaction/review channels on this platform. Personal favourites of mine are your Aphex Twin reactions, I am a big fan of his work and its always fun to see someones first reactions to his stuff. Would recommend listening and reacting to Deftones - White Pony album!

    I love these videos, glad you aren't picking the standard react bait even though I'd love to see some Opeth here. Have some suggestions for future listens if you're taking them (no particular order). 1. Voivod - Dimension Hatröss 2. The National Lights - The Dead Will Walk, Dear (make sure you have the lyrics here) 3. Madvillian - Madvillainy (You might have heard this so could check out MF Doom Operation: Doomsday) 4. Burzum - Filosofem (Maybe skip this one but could be interesting) 5. Mastodon - Leviathan (or) Crack the Skye. Oh! Editing to add 6. Mr. Bungle, self titled or anything that looks good to you!

    What a great list! Very insightful and genuine.
    Although a bit sad for Illinois’ ranking (coming from a Sufjan fan), but it’s fine cause it’s honest.
    Hopefully, you consider reacting to his album A Beginner’s Mind with Angelo De Augustine. Basically, each song from that album was loosely inspired from movies. What Sufjan and Angelo did was watch a movie at night, then write a song about it in the morning. It’s really clever.
    Also, Sling by Clairo or Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves.

    It's unfortunate that you didn't enjoy Illinois all that much as it's one of my favorites of all time but I understand the criticisms you gave.
