Funnily enough, Neil also made The Ultimate Showdown.
They missed in Just a baby the line "when I was just a baby, when I was just a boy, I shit my pants".
They're talking over so many gags they're missing them
I love 10000 spoons, the distortion bit of it is the intro to black sabbath's Iron Man.
I also feel like the title of 10000 spoons is a reference to the horribly slow murderer with the extremely inefficient weapon.
Awe, the best part of aaammmooorrreee was cut, oh well.
When you dance down the street cause you had too much **feet** thats amore..
remember to hit the *bells*!
The fan video makes it so much better
even if Mouth Dreams doesn't have the big hits of Mouth Moods (or the nostalgia of Mouth Silence), it has this vibe that I was enamoured with on first listen, making it my fave along Silence. I do also see why people don't really like it as much tho
This is my favorite one of the albums, so goooood, I love the "dreamy" (no pun intended) concept and it's the most atmospheric of the albums if that makes sense
Some songs do go on for a little too long tho
10000 Spoons is my favorite I think tho
I don't consider the last 2 songs to be part of the album, they are kinda extras, to be fair
Personally Dreams is my fav of the series, and I think a lot of people don't like it because it is going for something very different from the other albums, there's less jokes, and less poppy bangers (though the ones that are there are great), but it goes for an overall mood of forboding and anxiety, nightmarish and quite dark.
I think this was made as a theraputic response to the begining of the pandemic, quarantine, and the overall fuckedness of the 2010s into now the 2020s. There's tons of references to death, trauma, disaster, all wrapped in twisted views of nostalgia as if coping with depression.
Tbf, I could be projecting all of this deeper meaning onto the album, but It felt revelatory to me in 2020, and very emotionally resonant while still being very funny.
Side note, I also think this album is Niel's most Technically impressive of the mashups in terms of how well it's produced from a sound designer's perspective. The pitch work, the mixing feels natural, the way the music is interwoven not just in individual songs, but as they transition from one to another. So yeah, it's very different, but I adore it.
It's happening! Lets go!
Heck yeah
A great reaction, here, take my 45 mins of premium watchtime money.
That dinosaur statue looks like someone asked a bad AI to create a dinosaur statue.
9:45 I didn't even know Rick James went to prison. That he was specifically in Folsom Prison has blown my mind.
