I believe Mary is a metahphor for marijuana. "leave you to rot", "waste your time", "i wanna feel whatever you think i should" and at the end "'i am real and you are not" are a profound comparisons to weed and addiction.
Sarah has to be in my top 10 songs of all time!! Also, House of Sugar by Alex G is another great album from him. You can hear the refinement of his sound and his improvement on his songwriting and production whilst keeping some of the lo-fi charm. Great artist, his newest album is like if hyperpop, folk and 90s alt rock had a threeway. Would recommend as well!
@@rowanchavez4109The lyrics “I hope - he thinks of me alone” and “I want him so”. I imagine it as a young kid trying to flirt with their first crush but they don’t know how, so they’re mean to them instead
@@rowanchavez4109 Look at the lyrics. Its a bully that pushes Adam down in the snow, and hopes Adam thinks of him alone, the last line of the song is "I want him so". Brilliant touching song about a bully who bullies out of his own internalized homophobia.
yes get sandy with it!!!! i'm biased but i think alex g is one of the greatest living american singer/songwriters active right now; immense discography, musical development while still retaining his sound, and a prime example of how good bandcamp can be. def try digging through his discography, everyone's got their favorites but my personal favorites are Race and DSU also check out Jai Paul - Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones)

I really like your way of commenting on the album. Keep it up!
Its amazing you react to so many albums that don't get many reactions. Love your reactions too. You gotta listen to "Carrie and Lowell" by Sufjan Stevens, or "In Rainbows" by Radiohead
If you liked Change you should check out one of the live performances of it. When he does it live he does an explosive outro that I wish everyday was on the album version. Sounds more hopeful almost, like things changed and that’s alright.
I love trick!! I love the lofi production, feels comfortable. Have you listened to FKA twigs? Her album LP1 is so unique, the production is one of the best I’ve heard. So I recommend checking her out. Great vid as always :)
If you want to listen to (easily) one of the best jazz albums of all time, which also isn't decades long, listen to Karma by Pharoah Sanders. It's AMAZING
I have requested this before, but mazzy star - Among my swan. It’s to me one of the best albums ever. I think you will love it tbh. It’s just so real. Love you’re videos btw 🫶
yet another banger of a video🙏🙏 i highly recommend the album "Red Burns" by Standing on The Corner. as far as i can describe it, its a mix of lo-fi, experimental, r&b and spoken word i guess? either way its a great album and something i think you would appreciate.
I’ve suggested this before, but I’m gonna do it again since there’s now more music lovers here to my corroborate how awesome this album is: you gotta do “Just Got Back From the Discomfort - We’re Alright” by The Brave Little Abacus. Keep up the W vids bro🫡
you should really check out his most recent album- God save the animals! It's by milestone my favorite album of his and one of my favorite of all time. Evey track lands
Your work ethic is absolutely crazy bro! As always i higly reccomend listening to Bloc Party, as their album Silent alarm is an amazing listen. I also noticed during your Pink Tape reaction that you said that you never really listened to chop suey. I feel like you kinda have to listen to System Of A Down. Their album Toxicity is one of the most highly regarded metal records of all time, and the band in general donät really have any bad songs. Keep doing what you're doing Smags!!
One of my favorite albums is rules, and I feel like it’s one of the best albums that he has made so far, so if you plan on checking out any more of his music, you should definitely check that album out! :)
You should check out his albums RACE, DSU, and House of Sugar. TRICK will always be my #1 tho, no kizzy. You should also review Title Fight's album Floral Green, you'd like it fs
Dope video. I reccomend making timestamps for each song. I also recommended the Midwest emo classic ‘Just Got Back From The Discomfort-we’re alright’ by The Brave Little abacus.
Love this album, looking forward to seeing what you listen to next. Do you have a list somewhere of albums you've listend to or a albumoftheyear or rateyourmusic or something? Might be helpful so people can not recommend stuff you've already heard, or recommend stuff based on what you like.
@@smags1082 imo rateyourmusic, it’s more active and has a bigger database. It’s not perfect for a lot of reasons but it’s good for user-made lists and charts based on genres/year/countries (ex: trying to find the highest-rated dubstep album from Egypt in the 2010s). I think it’s worth checking out at least. Also, if you don’t want to give every single album a number rating you could also just use it to catalogue what you’ve listened to so far.
wait what the fuck im confused rn, i dreamt that u had made a video on a album and i added it to my watch later and u never even made the video what the hell!! (the album was "how to leave town" by car seat headrest)

he’s just like me
That definitely makes sense as Alex mentions drugs and smoking multiple times in songs
I love that interpretation of Advice “you’re supposed to trust a fish” 😂😂

adam is about the narrator having a crush on adam and not being able to express it properly 😭
I like this concept, where did you hear this?
@@rowanchavez4109 i think it’s on the genius lyric page
@@rowanchavez4109The lyrics “I hope - he thinks of me alone” and “I want him so”. I imagine it as a young kid trying to flirt with their first crush but they don’t know how, so they’re mean to them instead
he cut out every part that said it too lol

Don’t know if this has been said yet in this comments section, but Mary isn’t actually is not about a girl named Mary. It’s about pot
Man you’re really the only reaction youtuber that i can watch. I love your personality and opinions man. Keep up the good work!!

Every time I come back to your channel I’m surprised you haven’t blown up yet. Actually insightful reactions to good albums, alway deliver
Thank You!
If you liked this album you should definitely checkout his album Race it is my favorite album of his and it is just insanely good!
I also recommend:
Dean Blunt - BLACK METAL

i’ve been sayin
YEAHHH
FINALLY!!!! MORE ALEX G PLEEEEEEASSE
Its amazing you react to so many albums that don't get many reactions. Love your reactions too. You gotta listen to "Carrie and Lowell" by Sufjan Stevens, or "In Rainbows" by Radiohead
Race was his first album, definitely his best, check it out!
been saying this
Very based comment
He also was 16 when he made it!!!!
@@AphexAndre i know right!! I get jealous that he was competent enough to record and release that album at such a young age.
based
LETS GO!!! Def do Race or DSU. (my personal fav) His discography is worth diving into
So glad that more people are discovering him, his music is so comforting
if you liked this you should definitely listen to race or rules by alex g all the songs are very unique but cohesive and i think you’d like it a lot
If you liked Change you should check out one of the live performances of it. When he does it live he does an explosive outro that I wish everyday was on the album version. Sounds more hopeful almost, like things changed and that’s alright.
Alex G is a cool artist that I need to listen to more of, nice to see this

I like ur reaction to the clouds
yet another banger of a video🙏🙏 i highly recommend the album "Red Burns" by Standing on The Corner. as far as i can describe it, its a mix of lo-fi, experimental, r&b and spoken word i guess? either way its a great album and something i think you would appreciate.
I love standing on the corner 🥺 I would suggest their self titled album too
one of my favourite albums AAAAAHHHHH
songs by adrianne lenker is so transformative, im sure youd love it
You should Listen to Bon Iver's self titled Album Bon Iver, its an absolute indie classic, Another great video!
22 a million is my favourite
More of a “For Emma, Forever Ago” guy myself
@@lizardman7718need this desperately omg

king of consistency! feel like you would love Fiona Apple's Fetch The Bolt cutters
One of my favorite albums is rules, and I feel like it’s one of the best albums that he has made so far, so if you plan on checking out any more of his music, you should definitely check that album out! :)
You should listen to Figure 8 by elliott smith. One of my favorite albums oat and seems like something you would really like
Would love to see a King Gizzard album on here, Nonagon Infinity?
advice is just a song made out of this world
Do Rules from Alex G!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
love the analysis
advice made me get him. song makes me cry on a lonely night lol
Advice so good man
please do dsu
Great video i think if you liked this album of alex g you HAVE to react to his first realesed album "race"
the female vocals are alex g 🤫
All of his other albums have great music; race, dsu, and rocket are my favorites with beach music and god save the animals being really good too
bon iver for emma forever ago, or self titled
this and DCU are similar and probably his best
Happiest Alex G reaction 😅😅
Good video as always
definetly listen to DSu by him aswell his best imo
PLEASEEEE do the mirror might steal your charm by the garden!!!!!! or else.
It’s probably something to note that Alex does his songs like stories. Most are not from his perspective. This is especially important with kute 😭
Good video though
good stuff mr smags
You should check out his albums RACE, DSU, and House of Sugar. TRICK will always be my #1 tho, no kizzy. You should also review Title Fight's album Floral Green, you'd like it fs
please listen to rocket by alex g next, i love you
Dope video. I reccomend making timestamps for each song. I also recommended the Midwest emo classic ‘Just Got Back From The Discomfort-we’re alright’ by The Brave Little abacus.
some PJ harvey pleaseee, I love Let England Shake but I think that’s a bit controversial. I think you’d rlly appreciate her though
Advice is the best song on the album top 5 alex g songs
We need Girl with Basket of Fruit
mary is a metaphor for weed btw
U should listen serotonin II by yuele :)
Love this album, looking forward to seeing what you listen to next.
Do you have a list somewhere of albums you've listend to or a albumoftheyear or rateyourmusic or something? Might be helpful so people can not recommend stuff you've already heard, or recommend stuff based on what you like.

Change is a great song
God Save the Animals reaction when?
my guy mary was about weeeeed 😭

listen to any album of deftones
I second this
Preferably Around the Fur
Not an album but I think under the silver lake would change ur life
Both race and rules by alex g

99% of the time when u hear vocals that sound like a woman in Alex G’s music it’s just him singing higher or pitching his voice up.
Elliott smith self titled
