golden hour wasn't initially listed because of an inside joke between the band and us fans! they had said they would've probably scrapped golden hour to mess with us and see how desperate we would have been to have it back (spoiler: it worked). they also dropped some hints to it actually being in the ep in the last few days, like wilbur using text on an instagram story to cover the bottom of the track list on the cd!
@@ilincanaftanaila6591that is such a good part, consequences is my fav! Fav part is that one, but more so the continued version “ staying up thinking I will die, this time I’m blaming it on smoking tried it once it wrecked my life”
17:54 Fun fact, that note you noticed in the guitar line is an A natural, and it sounds so crunchy because Scum’s key is Ab major, so we got that clash with the tonal center of all things (excuse my music theory rambling😂)
It's Golden Hour Somewhere is probably my favorite, I love the tempo shift for the chorus. The synth on this album is great, and I love the use of going from half time and back to the original beat in Portrait. I hope they do more weird stuff on their next release!
@@paper4732 honestly same. They could've made the first few lines of the chorus in the final version a bridge before the 2nd chorus instead of part if the chorus as a whole.
Kinda sad to see the trumpets go, but happy there's a replacement for them with the synth adding that extra dynamic. But, I do really hope they bring back those trumpets, they sounded awesome
in case you haven't been told via the comments: the talking at the end of warsaw is Joe! He is the other guitarist in the band! (he does some of the singing parts too) ((also Portrait of a Blank Slate is one of my top favorites from this EP))
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAYYY edit: the bassist is ash kabosu and he didn't originally play bass properly until he joined lovejoy, he is so amazing
@@yogurtyearner according to james marriott he said that ash had only been learning bass for a few month / years (unsure on how long) but picked it up quickly as he mainly plays guitar
The synth on consequences is one of the best things ive ever heard. I loved the song when i heard it live but the synth seals the deal. Got to say i think i can hear more influences on this ep than other things lovejoys done. Portrait Of A Blank Slate has a swim school vibe to it, Consequences reminds me of the Killers and Warsaw's opening is reminiscent of Good Kid. Personally i love that but yeah amazing ep and reaction
My personal ranking as of now would prolly be: - Golden Hour - POABS - Warsaw - CMWYL - Scum - Consequences But it really doesn’t mean anything if a song is rated low cuz I adore all of them so much
I think my current ranking is: -CMWYL (this may just be because it's been out it longer, so I've had more time to love it.) -Portrait of a Blank Slate -It's Golden Hour Somewhere -Warsaw -Scum -Consequences I normally take a while to warm up to music, so the other songs could take CMWYL's top spot in time, but this EP is so good.
I havent really decided yet but we have a pretty similar ranking edit: turns out our ranking isnt that similar for me something along the lines of 1. poabs 2. cmwyl 3. consequences 4. warsaw 5. ighs 6. scum I am certain this will change tho because it takes a while to warm up to music imo
oh, i completely disagree! Of course, to each their own, but consequences is anything and everything but last. scum and warsaw should also be higher, and the top three should go down. 1. consequences 2. warsaw 3. scum 4. poabs 5. ighs (they just havent grown on me yet! as for cmwyl, i haven't included it as it has been around for so long, it feels separate)
@@ilincanaftanaila6591 definitely understand separating cmwyl, thought about it as well. our rankings are almost completely opposite, which is fun. I'm just happy everyone is enjoying the EP
@@tunatuna4710 yeah, i've just had both golden hour & blank slate on repeat for days. feels like they've overtaken cmwyl already. didn't think i'd love these songs so fast lol
I love how unpredictable and interesting the melodies are on this!! When you think the segment will end in a way, it just completely goes to another one, Scum is my favorite from the EP and probably one of my favorites from Lovejoy
I'm very glad you reacted to their new ep!:D My ranking is currently this: 1) Consequences 2) Portrait of a blank slate 3) Scum 4) Warsaw 5) CMWYL 6) Golden hour
1. Portrait 2. Golden hour 3. Consequences 4. CMWYL 5. Warsaw 6. Scum I haven't found anyone else who shares this thought tho (I love Warsaw the others are just fdgcncydtfy so good so I had to do it a little dirty)
not sure if this is helpful or not but for future reactions i thought id mention the bands names 😋 lead singer + guitar - Will Gold / wilbur soot lead guitarist + backing vocals - Joe Goldsmith bassist - Ash Kabosu drummer - Mark Boardman
my current rankings (they're all so good so it was hard to choose): 1.) its golden hour somewhere 2.) portrait of a blank slate 3.) call me what you like 4.) consequences/warsaw (can't choose bc i like warsaw more in general but "you're just so PAINFULLY PUNCTUAL" scratches my brain) 5.) scum
I loveeeee consequences however im predicting that the most critically acclaimed song is going to be Portraits of a Blank Slate However my rankings rn is Consequences Warsaw Scum CMWYL Portrait of a Blank Slate Golden Hour And just to say CMWYL is one of my favorite songs of all time so the fact that I’m putting 3 songs from the album above it is saying just how good this album is And the only reason why Portrait of a Blank Slate and Golden Hour are so low is because I listen to music while doing other tasks and the vocals not being as forward make me not able to really listen to the song and dissociate and make a full opinion on it
here’s my ranking from worst to best bc i felt like putting it here 6. call me what you like 5. scum 4. consequences 3. portrait of a blank slate 2. warsaw 1. it’s golden hour somewhere i still absolutely love cmwyl (along with the others i ranked lower), i think it’s just that i listened to it so much when it came out that i’m now desensitized to its greatness lmao
@@gvnlessktchn im so glad im not the only person who has that desensitised feeling for cmwyl cause like i know i love it but i haven't like enjoyed it fully in a while. The spotify singles version however has one of the best choruses
My current rankings 1. consequences 2. its golden hour 3. POABS 4. CMWYL 5. scum (although its basically tied with CMWYL) 6. warsaw but i LOVE every song so much-
My ranking rn is: Poabs, ighs, and warsaw are tied for first Consequences Call me what you like Scum (it eats you alive) I love all the songs though :D they’re all really good!
saw them live the other day! current ranking: 1. its golden hour somewhere 2. scum 3. consequences 4. cmwyl 5. portrait of a blank slate 6. warsaw but i truly love this entire ep
This is gonna sound funny considering.. yknow, *Lovejoy,* but I really love the genuine joy on your face as you listen And yesss the EP's friggin amazing
its here bois boutta blast this in the car no ones stopping me >:D rip my voice and my mother and fathers eardrums. OH I ALSOTHOUGHT ID ADD A RANKING TAMBIEN 1. portrait of a blank slate 2. IM SCUM IM WASTEEEE IM WHAT, U WANTT (scum) 3. warsaw 4. its golden somewhere 5. honestly i dont wanna put one in last place SO BOTH CMWYL AND CONCEQUENCES ARE IN 5TH this ep is so good (and sad) im crying
I feel like scum is underrated, i love the ending part. anyways my ranking is POABS SCUM is tied with the start of "ighs" IGHS WARSAW CONSEQUENCES CMWYL all would be in number 1 but i put decimals
HOLY COW YOUR RANKING IS MINE TOO💀💀 I ORIGALLG WAS OBSESSED WITH SCUM BUT AFTER LISTENING TO POABS ON THE PLANE TODAY ABOUT A BILLION TIMES I GOTTA PUT IT FIRST🙌🏻 i also learned how to play concequences and golden hour in guitar back when they first came out but they just cant compare to poabs and scum ALR IMA SHUT UP AND SLEEP NOW U HAVE AN AMAZING DAY :D
Dude, I love your stuff! Super high quality reactions and commentary, and you seem like a lovely person. I was genuinely surprised that you don’t have like 100k subs. Keep it up 😊
if you like Lovejoy, I got another band you should check out! Los campesinos! has inspired Will since before he was first playing. 'My Year In List', 'You! Me! Dancing!', 'We Are Beautiful', 'We Are Doomed', 'Knee Deep at ATP', and 'Death to Los Campesinos!' are all great starts! Since Lovejoy covered their song Knee Deep, they've gotten more attention (which is a great thing) and as a long time listener of LC! I just wanted to share them with someone.

Was waitin’ for this. The whole EP is just a intense rollercoaster of emotions
Seems like a dark collection of songs
I know, from PoaBS, to Consequences, to Warsaw, to Scum, to IGHS, they're all so different! I can't pick a favourite
@@ilincanaftanaila6591my personal favorite is Portrait of a Blank Slate! Then Warsaw and then Consequences.
@@ilincanaftanaila6591that is such a good part, consequences is my fav! Fav part is that one, but more so the continued version “ staying up thinking I will die, this time I’m blaming it on smoking tried it once it wrecked my life”

No we absolutely love music theory ramblings here!
It's Golden Hour Somewhere is probably my favorite, I love the tempo shift for the chorus. The synth on this album is great, and I love the use of going from half time and back to the original beat in Portrait. I hope they do more weird stuff on their next release!
I really prefered the live version over the studio one, due to the changings they made in the chorus part.
@@paper4732 honestly same. They could've made the first few lines of the chorus in the final version a bridge before the 2nd chorus instead of part if the chorus as a whole.
@@pizzarellayt Exactly! That's literally the only reason It ain't my favorite song from the album. "Portrait of a Blank Slate" took first place lol
SAME
the lines "i wont announce my sheer decenr but holy fuck there will be signs" made golden hour my fav over warsaw
I fucking love Portrait of a Blank Slate. Its by far my favorite. I've had it on repeat.
honestly i think scum is probably my favourite song but i love the bridge in warsaw, but overall, i've just been listening on repeat lmao
Kinda sad to see the trumpets go, but happy there's a replacement for them with the synth adding that extra dynamic. But, I do really hope they bring back those trumpets, they sounded awesome
in case you haven't been told via the comments: the talking at the end of warsaw is Joe! He is the other guitarist in the band! (he does some of the singing parts too) ((also Portrait of a Blank Slate is one of my top favorites from this EP))
FYI the bass player is called Ash, the drums player is Mark bad the guitarist is Joe :) (my pfp is Wilbur with a wig)
i love the lyrics in its golden hour somewhere ‘we’re all on a cfit, so take what you see fit’ like that is so clever wilbur is such a good lyricist
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAYYY
edit: the bassist is ash kabosu and he didn't originally play bass properly until he joined lovejoy, he is so amazing
huh,didn't know that about ash. he picked it up pretty quickly
Wdym by didnt play bass properly? He def is more than a couple years into bass. Had he just not played with a band before?
i think it’s golden hours somewhere was hidden as a surprise and that’s why it’s not there
golden hour is at the end it like pops up at the end
@@yogurtyearner according to james marriott he said that ash had only been learning bass for a few month / years (unsure on how long) but picked it up quickly as he mainly plays guitar

Portrait Of A Blank Slate has a swim school vibe to it, Consequences reminds me of the Killers and Warsaw's opening is reminiscent of Good Kid. Personally i love that but yeah amazing ep and reaction
I was getting arctic monkey vibes from portrait of a blank slate, at least in the verses
I was getting måneskin vibes from the music in portrait of a blank slate
@@cathal_account9815 true yes
@@stacyvalentine5018 huh ive never heard them so i wouldn't know
Speaking of influence, I'm pretty sure Portrait of a blank slates intro is based of the song "under control"
My personal ranking as of now would prolly be:
- Golden Hour
- POABS
- Warsaw
- CMWYL
- Scum
- Consequences
But it really doesn’t mean anything if a song is rated low cuz I adore all of them so much
Is this going down or up

love how you released your reaction so quickly! it’s an amazing album and i love your reaction as you help to decipher the details in each song

4.) consequences/warsaw (can't choose bc i like warsaw more in general but "you're just so PAINFULLY PUNCTUAL" scratches my brain)
5.) scum
Scum is probably my favorite
There's just... Something about it. The dissonance is definitely a big factor, but it's not all of it
I loveeeee consequences however im predicting that the most critically acclaimed song is going to be Portraits of a Blank Slate
However my rankings rn is
Consequences
Warsaw
Scum
CMWYL
Portrait of a Blank Slate
Golden Hour
And just to say CMWYL is one of my favorite songs of all time so the fact that I’m putting 3 songs from the album above it is saying just how good this album is
And the only reason why Portrait of a Blank Slate and Golden Hour are so low is because I listen to music while doing other tasks and the vocals not being as forward make me not able to really listen to the song and dissociate and make a full opinion on it
(Oh and I recommend listening to Los Campesinos! if you like Wilbur because they influence a lot of his writing)

Golden Hour is on the ep, you just have to wait until Scum is over and then it shows up
So... When's the Pebble Brain reaction? Their best ones imo
I think he has already
I ADORE Paintings of the Blank Slate ❤ It’s my favourite
portrait of a blank slate* not PAINTINGS of THE blank slate, lol.

Los campesinos! has inspired Will since before he was first playing. 'My Year In List', 'You! Me! Dancing!', 'We Are Beautiful', 'We Are Doomed', 'Knee Deep at ATP', and 'Death to Los Campesinos!' are all great starts!
Since Lovejoy covered their song Knee Deep, they've gotten more attention (which is a great thing) and as a long time listener of LC! I just wanted to share them with someone.
Yippee you post so early the fuck
