- After more than a year of showing my dad some of my favorite albums, I'm glad I was finally able to show my dad Illinois by Sufjan Stevens. One of the albums that changed my music taste the most and an album I think he'll like a lot

Thank you guys for watching! Let us know what album we should do next and keep and eye on the RUclips community tab because there will be a vote for the next album on there in the near future!
i NEED to see a reaction of "Trout Mask Replica". i think that album will break him
Any bjork album!
Either deceit or emergency & I
Video 11 of asking Kyle Reid to review Blood Visions by Jay Reatard
break his heart with javalin
Making your dad listen to Soundtracks For The Blind by Swans would be one of the funniest experiences known to man
he'd fall asleep then get disrupted by a loud ass noise
Yes, please.
Idk about that😂
It might be funny for the first few minutes while he like figures it out
But after that they’re just stuck listening to basically static and sexual voice memos for the next 2 hours
DO IT
_Your lipstick smear across your face_
If I had a nickel for every time the song John Wayne Gacey Jr was brought up in this series amid a discussion of serial killers, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Also Sufjan Stevens really read about John Wayne Gacey Jr and said "he just like me fr"
LMAO
Listening to this album while listening to facts about Illinois from your dad is a refreshing feeling.
i was so shocked to hear that sufjan is 48 right now but then i thought about it and im like wait that makes sense but at the same time wtf he doesnt look 48 at all 😭
Ya he does look really good for his age
This is one of my most favorite albums of all time and as a gay boy from central Illinois it really affected me in so many ways. Sufjan’s lyrics are always absolutely incredible, but for me the beauty of this album comes from the sheer amount of sound. The orchestra’s, the symphonies, the range of composition in the album. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t get much out of instrumental music, or like vocals and lyrics make the song for you then I definitely can see how someone wouldn’t enjoy the album, but if you enjoy or are able to appreciate the intricacies of the instrumental composition of the songs then this album just blows everything out of the water. This album means SO MUCH to me and will always be at the top of my all time favorite albums
Really love how your dad was kinda clowning on the album and then you can see him change a little while listening to Casimir Pulaski say. This album has something for everyone because bares the human condition. It’s easy to kind of make fun of it for how grand and important it sounds but there is so much timeless magic encapsulated in it. I really feel like it touches the soul in such an unexpected and disarming way and that is why it’s one of the best albums ever made.
this is literally everybodys dad. this was brave of you to show him one of your favorite albums. I could never.
lol my dad was the one who showed me this album
i would love a video of your dad listening to mr kanye west because the idea sounds funny
excited to watch this! "Illinois" is so damn amazing
Hey micdrop ✌️
every time Kyle Reid uploads i giggle and kick my feet up!
Illinois is such a great album!
Fr fr
The first time I listened to this album was actually with my dad in his car on a rainy day. Amazing experience and it’s an album even my dad holds in high regard
Sounds like a great first listen!
illinois is such a riveting and gut wrenching record, glad to hear your dad liked it. I put a wrench in a 16 year old boys gut in illinois. It was 1998. I was walking near Fulton, and i stopped by the river bend middle school. I broke in, and found the woodshop class. I never had this class in my schools, and I was surprised this elective even existed. I stole a wood wrench, most likely made by a child. It was rigid, crude, and poorly made. I ran out of the school, and thought i would keep this tool for the rest of my life. It was out of my hands thirty minutes later. I kept walking, smiling ear to ear, happy with my find. I saw a van pull into a near by 7/11 and 2 brown haired boys hopped out. One looked under the age of 12, and the other one looked about 16-17. The mother very much resembled her kids facial structure, but she had blond hair. I walked into the 7/11, looking for the candy bar, and thats when my animal instincts got the best of me. I threw the 12 year old and the mother back into the van and forced them to flea. I punched the teen in his nose, severly damaging it, and he punched back just as hard. I raised the tool, but he grabbed it out of my hand and shoved it in my stomach. He yelled “WHERE DID YOU GET MY BROYHERS WRENCH YOU FUCKING MANIAC”, and thats when my heart dropped. I took his brothers wrench. I couldnt believe myself, but i couldnt let the teen win. I pulled the wrench out of my body, leaving me externally bleading, and shoved it into HIS stomach. He died instantly, and i was happy knowing i would too, but i didnt. Im still here. The mom crashed the car leaving the 7/11, and The crime was framed on the cashier working there. Im still here. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
hi dinga
thank you dingus 🙏
All that for 11 likes
Kyle you mouthing along is me, everytime I introduce this album to anyone I have to physically restrain myself from singing along with the entire album
Finally! I was waiting for this
I’m low key obsessed with Kyle lip singing and passion for this album ❤
Yayy, Illinois is such a fantastic album!
Great video I really enjoyed it. A great album to show him next would be age of adz his reaction would be priceless
u two are a duo!!!! great video!
The john wayne gacy song is really more than just comparing himself to a serial killer, its offering some context and reasons (not excuses) for his problems...so also empathy. He reminds us that gacy was actually quite likeable among people who knew him. The comparison of gacy to himself is from the biblical principle that everyone is a sinner and everyone needs God. He made the point that while gacy literally kept his secrets under the floorboards, we all have our own floorboards and our own secrets and the relative severity of them (compared to other people) doesnt make us less sinful.
Such a wholesome video. I miss my dad.
This album really does hit different in your early teens, it changed everything for me too
Yooo i just recently checked out Illinois, and it was awesome
Incredible album
I like the thread idea you can always title it something that comes up in the video
True
Your dad is quite the character
Good combo between you two
Green screen is funny
I
Am entertained
I love this album to death, Sufjan's lyricism alone puts it in my top 3 favourite albums ever.
Also, could you eventually force your dad to listen to Funeral by Arcade Fire?
The lyrics are incredible for sure! Funeral could definitely be a fun one, I'm sure he'd like it
W PFP
Funeral greatest album ever made🤩🤩🤩
@@Dumbmidwestmusic Agreed!!!
This is gonna be fun 😂
Thank Kyle, I couldn't wait for this.
now next, Trout Mask Replica...
I'm scared of this
You are so cute! I just took my mom to see Illinoise on broadway for Mother’s Day. I did not know I was signing up to cry for 90 minutes straight but we both loved it and it and it was so magical!
Also I had a radio show 2004-2007 in Miami and I used to play this on it
Another one I grew up on. Still haven't actually listened to the full thing front to back, because I think it would emotionally destroy me lol
Dude! You need to listen to the full thing eventually
Pull the Thread sounds great! Would love to watch that, no other music reactors are doing anything like that
Also i really hope he has to suffer through Captain beefheart as we all did, one of the greatesr musical experiences a person csn have
I would not have known what to do with this at age 14. I baely knew what to do with it at age 54. But i do hear you. I grew up on blues based rock and roll so sufjan was completley out of my comfort zone....i didnt know how to like this at first but with sheer repetition and diligence i learned to see the beauty in Sufjan's music. So he is becoming a very sweet comfort zone for me.
If you are considering another sufjan album i would try Ascension. 😊
Its important to remember that while Sufjan is super unique, there is always something experimental going on and it opens people's minds to what music can be.
Love this
it has to be trout mask replica, it just has to.
I never made the connection between “The Seer’s Tower” and the Sears Tower until now lol. I also don’t like the song very much, but now I at least appreciate the title a lot more.
kyle please do a soundtracks for the blind or how to leave town reaction or smth
I like the reference to The Seer by Swans on this album
ok I hereby request a "My dad forced ME to watch ...." video
Definitely gonna have to do another one eventually
@@KyleReidMu oh shit ok I'm going to find the first one!
It was Tom Waits :)
need to link dads playlist
Damn.... The Seers Tower deserves more loooooooove from you! It's freakin sacred lol
Anyway thanks for the video =)
You think he will be emotional with Carrie and Lowell, or just bored?
Probably both
Yesssssss!!!
good video friend, Greetings from Mexico
Thank you!
im not sure if you look at comments, this wasn’t an issue for me because i listen to this album religiously, but doing a quick little song title at the top would help a lot for people! just so they knew how far in the album you are and when a song changes
You should do a Fleet Foxes album
Trout Mask Replica let's Goooooo
Definitely listen to Trout Mask Replica with your dad. 😏 And also to Niggas on the Moon disc one. I want to see the confusion on his face. 🤣
One of the best albums of the 2000s.
You should make your dad listen to TPAB!
Captain Beefheart when 🔥
Probably very soon
I need your dad to listen to Since I Left You
I would love to see what ur dad thinks of ''3D Country'' by Geese!
Go to NYC to watch the musical of Illinoise
Fun fact I’m distantly related to Mary Todd
SUFJAN
TRUE
ur so real for this
You skipped the interlude between disc 1 and 2?
Ya I skipped a lot of the interludes for the sake of time and nothing really interesting happened during them anyway
topo chico gang
Topo Chico goated
damn he dgaf😭
Weirdist reaction to any Sufjan Stevens song ever. If your dad didn't appreciate it, it's because of how you presented it.
Thank goodness this wasn't my introduction to Sufjan's music!
Its funny. Showing your dad a 20 year old album. Why didn't he listen to this when it came out?
Personally, I think The Avalanche is better. Which is weird since it’s entirely comprised of rejected songs from Illinoise.
He didn't like it.
as a gay boy from illinois, i dont like this album
L+Kanye better
Kanye fans discovering music that isn't by Kanye:
@@WiloPolis03 cope harder
@@andreiiancu2501 lmao ok
the album is not like a disney soundtrack get outta here
I agree...but I also get that comparison in the sense that this album is a grand, orchestral storytelling experience. There's actually a dance musical version of this show opening on Broadway in a couple weeks.
@@lydia1634 the only movie i will allow comparisons to is fantasia and thats IT lol
Love this
