I've been working on this album for almost a year and I'm very excited to share it with you all. All the lyrics can be found on Bandcamp.
This album was written and produced entirely by me

Thank you guys again. I hope you enjoy this one :)
Zach here,
great song
hey i'm only now listening to this and it's not FLAWLESS but really underrated actually, great work dude
I recall MC Ride saying once: “I think… Kyle Reid had played a huge role in my art”
Good job on the album Kyle! I’ll continue listening to it as of writing this comment
I actually remember MC Ride saying this as well
I am MC Ride and remember saying that
Imma be honest, to this day I only watched your videos and never really listened to your music, all because I didn't like getting out of my usual comfort zone of artists I already listen to. but man, was I missing out. this is really really good. I especially like your vocal style.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you took the dive into listening to my music. I'll be honest, I think this album is a huge step up from my other music so it's definitely the right place to start. I appreciate your kind words :)
I know everyone is different and I totally respect it, however I cannot understand the mindset of only listening to the artists you already know. Human beings, experiences and cultures are all so different. And that shows through in music so amazingly. Les claypool is the ONLY person to create the music for Primus. Biggie is the ONLY person to flow with as much specific Charisma as he had. Daft punk were the ONLY artists capable of creating their specific brand of intimately layered dance music. It’s the discovery of unique souls that’s the most fun thing about music in general. I feel like you should try and really branch out homie✌️✌️
@@KyleReidMu ALSO I want to listen to your entire discography, could you tell me how it goes?
Fantastic listen! When the Stars Disappeared is my favorite.
That's one of my favorites as well :) I'm glad you liked it

There is a trance like quality to these songs, this was a great time Kyle, proud of you pal!

Just finished the first song and I’m already enjoying it way too much, can’t wait to hear the full thing. Congrats for the album man, you never failed to impress me with your work and I really hope to see more in the future!
Thank you so much dude, that really means a lot. I'm glad you're enjoying the album so far
this is going straight in my playlist!!
Good album!!🎉

When the stars disappeared is perfect
Great job Kyle
Wow thank you! I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised
RUclips jokster and singer/songwriter, Kyle Alexander Reid, strikes a balance of intense ambition and accessibility on his sixth full length release. From the fifth floor provides an intensely large creative pallet in comparison to his earlier work (take 2017s strictly indie rock in pieces). Instead of falling into one category, kyle cohesively mushes a dozen or so genres into one 10 track 50 minute release, while still making it a relatively easy on the ears listen.
On the opener, “The Parking Lot Kids”, Kyle delivers poignant lyricism that gives a good description of the subject matter presented on the record. He speaks on him moving to Portland (which is where I live), in September of 2020 for college. The entire record is based on his experiences in Portland over the year and some change that he lived there. Its a vague and uninteresting concept at first glance, but Kyle’s lyricism and storytelling gives the concept a very human atmosphere.
Kyle keeps this concept heavy in mind on “Halloween or Something”. The chunky car seat headrest guitars and drums, mixed with Kyle eerie vocals and lyricism combines into an immensely interesting listen. I must say, however, I find the vocals on this track to be slightly intolerable. Kyles almost halloween esc vocals (get it) make the track relatively annoying. For example, one of the sonic highlights on the record appears on this track. The instrumental breaks down and turns into this beautiful wall of sound, but its over the most ANNOYING woaaahhhs on earth. It distracts from how brilliant the instrumental is and knocks points of the track. That being said, the ending turns Kyles vocals into a part of the wall of sound, and its a brilliant ending.
The records consistency and accessibility is at a high point towards the middle of the record, weather that be the post punk mayhem of big beautiful dance, the female vocals and hypnotizing samples on New Light, or the surprisingly tuneful vocals and alt rock instrumentation on Skater People. Kyles lyricism is so specific and reliant on very oddball phrases, that its almost haunting. For example, the “I am afraid to dance, its the only thing I haven’t done yet”, line on big beautiful dance is said so eerily thats its almost disturbing
The longer tracks on here are occasionally harder to swallow. This record is immensely sample based. The problem is, when the sample is something you don’t love, it makes the longer tracks a struggle to get through. For example, the last track, while greats, drags on 2 minutes longer than it should, and because its the last track I cant fall into it.
Wow, not bad. Safe to say kyle has made his mark on RUclipsr music, cause this is one of the best records made by a RUclipsr yet. Its spotty and occasionally jarring but god damn he really put effort into this. The subtler cuts on the record really leave an impact on me. Some of these tracks really blew me away. Keep it up kyle
80/100
Stellar review! Thank you for taking the time to write this up, I really enjoyed reading it :)
Great review but being a hivemind fan does sadly invalid your entire opinion
@@KyleReidMu no problem mr reid!! Loved the record ❤️❤️
This sounds great!
Thank you!!
The vocal effects are getting in my head. Literally have big beautiful dances first line stuck in my head 😂
Your album is really amazing. I feel like I'm back in my 20s as a college student again. It is very experimental but comfortable. So far i like hollowen or somehing the best. It sounds like franz ferdinand and the strokes. I think I will listen to it all weekend.
Great stuff!
Thanks!
that was amazing the last three tracks I'm gonna get there and parking lot kids were my favorite songs on here. I loved how it sounded like an electronic album without electronic instruments, and how it did not sound like much that came before you truly did your own thing i cannot wait for the next album. That was a treat i loved listening to it :)
Thank you Anthony for listening! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the kind words :)
@@KyleReidMu you are very welcome Kyle keep up the good work because you are doing great and fantastic :)
this was great! i can't wait to hear what you have next and where you take this
Thank you!
The last 3 tracks absolutely blew me away
Thank you!
Amazing album
Thanks!
LET'S GO!
Big dismemberment plan vibes from the vocals
Let's go!!!
I feel like I've been in this position before. I was getting out of high school, and I had a 4-track. I played guitar, I owned a bass and a drum machine, and I had a clutch of effects pedals. I wrote an entire album, blending influences and styles, and going out of my way to write songs outside of convention. I experimented, played/fucked around and came up with songs I was happy with at the time. I think you're drawing on what I consider better influences, and you have much better tech to bring your thoughts to reality. Lots of potential here, and I hope you keep going.
THATS HOW WE DO WORK AROUND HERE KYLE THATS HOW WE KEEP IT PUSHING
YES SIR
mmm damn
goat
congrats for the album! didn't gave it a full listen yet but i will definetly do it when i have time! so far i love it a lot, standout to skater people, amazing vibes
I'm glad you're liking it so far :)
new light is fucking amazing
Cool shit
neon bible arcade fire reference!
Hey man, it's me from the Discord.
Hey!
We’re you at all inspired by talking heads for this? I’m hearing some major David Byrne stuff in your vocal work. Great job on the album btw it’s really great stuff
Actually I wasn’t but there’s been a lot of people saying that it sounds like I was which was interesting. I’d say that the biggest influence on my vocal style would probably be the singer from Ought, which I wouldn’t be surprised if he was inspired by Byrne. I’m glad you’re liking the album :)
this album is ugly in the best way possible. all of the songs have this sense of uneasiness, helped especially by your vocal style, and I love it! great job Kyle!
Thank you :)
wheres the lyrics guy when u need him
(i love this album tho very nice work)
All the lyrics can be found on Bandcamp!
@@KyleReidMu ok thank you
When will it be on Spotify?!!!
When your local time hits midnight :)
@@KyleReidMu so excited! Congrats and thank you for excellent CSH vids!
The production on this is intriguing... you recorded this yourself?
Edit- Rodney Mullen is a god.
Yup! All recorded myself aside from the samples that I used. Also Rodney Mullen is indeed a god
@@KyleReidMu sounds quite polished! Do you have any equipment recommendations?
I used the focusrite scarlett solo audio interface. I've had it for like 6 years and it's still kicking!
@@KyleReidMu cool man! I've got some songs written but have never used an interface for recording.
ableton resonator
there's not enough, it doesn't sound good yet
also drop on spotify
It'll be up on Spotify when the clock strikes midnight
I can see the Radiohead influence
love the instrumentals! they are very cool.
Would work on vocals a little more though, heard a lot of off key singing.
good job
Ya vocals have never been my strong point. I feel like they've improved a lot since my earlier albums though. Always room for more improvement. I'm glad you enjoyed some of it!
album
make ur dad react to this
Reaction already filmed and being edited right now. Should be up next weekend
@@KyleReidMu congrats on the drop! hopefully i'll get to one day turn my ideas into a reality. Since when have u had the idea for this album? Did u have the track names already in ur head and have the general sound/idea of the album figured out?
I had the idea for the album about a year ago when I started recording it. I wanted to make an album based on my experiences living in Portland from mid 2020 to early 2022. I didn't really have anything figured out going into the recording process. It all just kind of fell into place as I worked on it
