Happy new season of Smags!!! I think Ichiko Aoba's "0" or "Windswept Adan" or any album from Jeff Rosenstock (recommend Worry and Hellmode) would be perfect albums for season 5(?). Excited to watch whatever you react to though!
1:05 She Works Out Too Much 3:47 Little Dark Age 6:46 When You Die 9:54 Me and Michael 12:52 TSLAMP 15:38 James 18:09 Days That Got Away 20:11 One Thing Left to Try 22:37 When You’re Small 24:37 Hand It Over you have to listen to Ariel Pink’s Before Today.
You should try “worry” by Jeff Rosenstock it’s a really good punk record, it’s really all over the place in like the best way possible, for the last handful of songs it takes on the “structure” ig of abbey road it’s just super cool
I think you'd dig Julia Holter's Have You In My Wilderness. It's a chamber pop record with one of the most beautiful string sections I've ever heard. Every song is a banger
Really glad you listened to this one, this one was on repeat a lot the first few years after it came out. I definitely think you should check out their 2nd album Congratulations but also their latest album Loss of Life as that album has been hitting me super hard since it came out and even though its more straightforward on the surface the writing is next level. Also hope you get around to doing more Oneohtrix Point Never like "R Plus Seven" the album after Replica and hope you finally check out Lil Ugly Mane "Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern" cause I know you are gonna love that one.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)
Amazing that you did MGMT Smags! I want to highlight the producer of LDA and the bulk of MGMT's discography, Dave Fridmann. He is also the producer for most of Flaming Lips records, and does an amazing job creating these immersive psychedelic soundscapes. I highly recommend the Soft Bulletin, as you loved Yoshimi and LDA you will probably be amazed by it
If I can recommend a record, you should totally listen to You're living all over me by Dinosaur Jr. ! Still sounds insane to this day,you can tell just how much it influenced noise rock,alternative and even shoegaze in later years! Either that or any Jeff Rosenstock album really, as some comments have already said. His debut, WE COOL? is a great starting point,but his most acclaimed work is his sophomore effort, WORRY. !
Please check out the band Her's! They only put out two albums and I love both of them. Their songs have so much character along with good writing & production.
Bro the new mgmt album has some of the best songs I’ve heard this decade. But the best ALBUM of the decade so far is unquestionably BY THE TIME I GET TO PHEONIX so I highly recommend that for an unforgettable experience
Day 47 of requesting Promises by Pharoah Sanders and Floating Points (come on you have to respect the dedication at this point you’re teasing me too much with this)
When u die is a suuper banger,, I'd love for u to check out Caroline polachek's desire I want to turn into you, she originally came up from the same scene as mgmt!!
my reaction to you watching this needs to be a reaction video itself. im literally yelling screeching at the laptop rn. the album cover is perfect omg its literally bright yellow what else could u ask for in colourful
Everything Between Paint and a Wall by Grandview is worth a listen. A really good, underrated, early 2010s emo revival album, along the same vein as Title Fight.
Keep doing your thing my bro, you’re the best reactor out there, I’ve followed you since the beginning, that Up the bracket reaction would mean a lot, literally there is no video in RUclips about that album although is a 2000’s landmark
Both frailty and census designated are classics at this point, two of my favourite albums ever for completely different reasons! Lots of uniqueness between the two
Please react to the music of: Angel Olsen, Crystal Castles, Grimes, Adrianne Lenker, Wallows, Arca, Mitski, SASAMI, Eartheater, Joni Mitchell, Nicole Dollanganger, Oneothrix Point Never, Bolis Pupul, ANOHNI, Caroline Polachek, Yeule, Grouper, Pet Grief, Moto Boy and Pearl Jam, St. Vincent, The Drums, Duster, James Blake, The Garden and Dorian Electra.
Smags, I think this new season should be full of art rock goodness. Some album recommendations: XTC - Black Sea, Drums and Wires, Skylarking Todd Rundgren - A Wizard / A True Star, Something / Anything? Peter Gabriel I (1977) Peter Gabriel III, Peter Gabriel, and So (more art pop) Talking Heads first three records 10cc - 10cc (self titled), Sheet Music, Motion Picture Soundtrack Also still waiting for the LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening reaction
One of my faves💕. You should listen to Destroyer…either Ken, Kaputt, or Labyrinthitis. You’ll either love him or hate him, but it’s worth a listen. He’s a treasure.
SMAGS YOU NEED TO DO BENJI BY SUN KIL MOON. Benji by Sun Kil Moon is a deeply personal and introspective album that delves into themes of mortality, family, and memory. Mark Kozelek's haunting vocals and poetic lyrics, accompanied by minimalist acoustic guitar arrangements, create an atmosphere of melancholy and reflection. The album's storytelling is raw and unfiltered, often touching on poignant moments from Kozelek's own life, making it a powerful and emotionally resonant listening experience
If you like the darker sound of this album there is a non-album single called "In the Afternoon" from MGMT. I absolutely love this song. Kinda sad that it is not on an album.
This was a surprise! Was listening to this yesterday, my second favorite MGMT album. Me and Michael is perfection!!! Recommending Hurry Up, We're Dreaming by M83 again.
if you liked 'when you're small' you're DEFINITELY gonna like the new album they just came out with, it very much goes in a similar direction to that song
Their new album Loss of Life is fantastic. But it's way more stripped down/slow than this one. I think you will enjoy it given that you like to pay so much attention to the lyrics and think about the meaning of the songs.
Really enjoy some MGMT. Might give re-listens to their albums later. Some recommendations I've given in a previous video were the Deltron 3030 self-titled. Would also like to see a Rage against the machine reaction. Keep it up dude, always enjoying the videos
You should listen to Tyranny by The Voidz, its the most experimental album made by Julian Casablancas. Its musically nothing like The Strokes but it still weirdly gives some Strokes vibes.
know you got a lot to catch up on bro but "the pilgrim, their god and the king of my decrepit mountain" is a crazy undergound album released this year that is really good stuff
shit you listened no way, great vid as always, make sure to listen to their other albums to because they're all amazing especially congratulations (lda is much more synthy than the rest). also future days by can gotta have it someday now
You said you it would make sense for the cover to be more colorful but i think the point of the album is supposed to be handling the concept of depression with dark lyrics in contrast with happy instrumentals. it shows how he’s handling pain by coping i guess
One of my favorite electronic projects, thanks! And what about *M83?* I think their third album *Before the Dawn Heals Us* is just awesome! I'd be interested in your opinion... You might enjoy this mix of post-rock and electronica.
you should listen to blood on the tracks by bob dylan if you haven’t already, and maybe filosofem by burzum though you’d prolly hate it, my two favorite albums ever
![Hunxho - Ball Forever [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nki9ZTF9Uls/mqdefault.jpg)
Gotta do either "Congratulations" or "Oracular Spectacular"also by MGMT next!!!!!!
Congratulations is the best mgmt album
@@neromxxn2252Yes he should really do it!
@@neromxxn2252he literally just reacted to the best MGMT album
I love all MGMT (even the black sheep self-titled), but Congratulations is still my favourite. A reaction would be great!
love your pfp, great album
congratulations better be next
Happy new season of Smags!!! I think Ichiko Aoba's "0" or "Windswept Adan" or any album from Jeff Rosenstock (recommend Worry and Hellmode) would be perfect albums for season 5(?). Excited to watch whatever you react to though!
Heavy on windswept adan
Hell yeah (doubling down on Ichiko)
❤ichiko
Worry would be such a cool listen, I would love to see how he thinks of that second half medley
big love for windswept Adan

you have to listen to Ariel Pink’s Before Today.
What's with the audio for track 2 haha? Is it just me or is it some weird instrumental?
pom pom preferably tbh
BRO GOES FUCKING HARD @@APAL880
@@APAL880The track got his video blocked, so he put royalty free music on top of it
Mr Bungle - California
Faith No More - Angel Dust
The Jesus Lizard - GOAT
heeeaavvyy on the Mr.Bungle
He needs to hear Self Titled before California. Who tf starts with California.
@@vertyisprobablydeadme it’s way more accessible
You should try “worry” by Jeff Rosenstock it’s a really good punk record, it’s really all over the place in like the best way possible, for the last handful of songs it takes on the “structure” ig of abbey road it’s just super cool
just saw jeff live last night. Absolutely one of the best artists working rn, NO DREAM is my fav tho fs
he's got 2 do this
I think you'd dig Julia Holter's Have You In My Wilderness. It's a chamber pop record with one of the most beautiful string sections I've ever heard. Every song is a banger
Great choice
YESSSSSSS
Also so enamoured with her new record, what a gift ❤
Love to see an Everything Harmony reaction by the lemon twigs. My fav album of last year
smags my guy, you need to hear Virtue by The Voidz
I second this, was thinking about how much he’d probably love Human Sadness but I still think Virtue over Tyranny
@@Kablistikai Yeah Virtue first, then Tyranny
Really glad you listened to this one, this one was on repeat a lot the first few years after it came out. I definitely think you should check out their 2nd album Congratulations but also their latest album Loss of Life as that album has been hitting me super hard since it came out and even though its more straightforward on the surface the writing is next level.

would love to see mercurial world by magdalena bay, blends synth pop with indie and even shogaze at some points, feel like youd love it
YES
this
Awesome! Please do their album, "Congratulations" 🙏
when you die is my absolute favorite off of this album ♥︎♥︎♥︎

Red House Painters - Self Titled
Tell Me About The Long Path Home- Newfound Interest In Connecticut
In My Own Time - Karen Dalton
someone has taste
It’s crazy, this is a genuine 10/10. Such a consistently mind blowing experience.
Bro the new mgmt album has some of the best songs I’ve heard this decade. But the best ALBUM of the decade so far is unquestionably BY THE TIME I GET TO PHEONIX so I highly recommend that for an unforgettable experience
Day 47 of requesting Promises by Pharoah Sanders and Floating Points (come on you have to respect the dedication at this point you’re teasing me too much with this)
Fantastic album. He'd probably dig it it's very vast and beautiful
Amen
Oh hell yes!
i fw the synthwork at the start smags
When u die is a suuper banger,, I'd love for u to check out Caroline polachek's desire I want to turn into you, she originally came up from the same scene as mgmt!!
Glad you listened to this! You should listen to “Congratulations” next.
my reaction to you watching this needs to be a reaction video itself. im literally yelling screeching at the laptop rn. the album cover is perfect omg its literally bright yellow what else could u ask for in colourful
Station to station -Bowie or Figure 8-Elliott smith PLESSE🔥
This is easily one of my all time favorite albums, glad you liked it.
You should listen to The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads by Lift To Experience, it’s one of the most unique albums of all time imo, it is a heavenly listen
Great reaction! Congratulations by MGMT is very different but a severely underrated gem!
You have to listen to their newest album, Loss of life. It’s a masterpiece
Unreal album
If youre so inclined to check out more Modest Mouse, I think you would dig The Moon & Antarctica
Their album oracular spectacular is perfect
Ariel Pink worked on this album. His albums Pom Pom and Dedicated to Bobby Jameson are excellent
Everything Between Paint and a Wall by Grandview is worth a listen. A really good, underrated, early 2010s emo revival album, along the same vein as Title Fight.

Talking Heads first three records

I love this album. Favourite album 2018. Never gets old for me.
One of my faves💕. You should listen to Destroyer…either Ken, Kaputt, or Labyrinthitis. You’ll either love him or hate him, but it’s worth a listen. He’s a treasure.
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not
my granddad always talked about how awesome war was when they had little dark age playing on the speakers good review
Highly recommend Everything Harmony by The Lemon Twigs, esp if Pet Sounds was your number one

Would like to see what you think of their album congratulations, one of my favorite albums atm 🙏
Nice choice but hey u shld check out 'symbolic' by death
🚨don't give him the synthesizer🚨
love this record! The new MGMT album also really good. Probably my favorite from them besides this one.
Maybe my favorite mgmt album lets gooo, also I still rep Man it Feels like Space Again - Pond
if you liked 'when you're small' you're DEFINITELY gonna like the new album they just came out with, it very much goes in a similar direction to that song
"The Acrobats" by Helvetia
Day 57 of asking Smags to listen to:
Portishead - Third
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
OH YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

Merzbow pfp is inspired

Ham Sandwich REACTION/REVIEW
Try telling him what you want.
Recommandation : Aqualung, very lovely flute solo's
yessir
Their new album Loss of Life is fantastic. But it's way more stripped down/slow than this one. I think you will enjoy it given that you like to pay so much attention to the lyrics and think about the meaning of the songs.
You have to give ARCA a try i swear youre gonna be tripping and will get into a new world of music
I laughed at 7:34 knowing it was about to become less chill immediately
Really enjoy some MGMT. Might give re-listens to their albums later.
Some recommendations I've given in a previous video were the Deltron 3030 self-titled. Would also like to see a Rage against the machine reaction. Keep it up dude, always enjoying the videos
Patti Smith 'Horses' when you do 1975 please. Xx
You should listen to Tyranny by The Voidz, its the most experimental album made by Julian Casablancas. Its musically nothing like The Strokes but it still weirdly gives some Strokes vibes.
new season waiting for the classical music and glenn branca arc🙏🙏🙏🙏
In a perfect world, you’d react to underscores wallsocket one day…
know you got a lot to catch up on bro but "the pilgrim, their god and the king of my decrepit mountain" is a crazy undergound album released this year that is really good stuff
"Kind of a friendship thing going on" about James is funny seeing as one of the lyrics is "my little doll"
LETS GOOOOOO SMAGS W PLZ DO CONGRATULATIONS NEXT
Smags my man you gotta check out Turnover’s “peripheral vision” - will hit you in the FEELS

Bro When You Die has such a fantastic music video, recommend giving it a watch somepoint! It's so trippy
Hey Smags you should resct to Clic Modernos by Charly Garcia, he is another argentinian artist who levels Cerati
You said you it would make sense for the cover to be more colorful but i think the point of the album is supposed to be handling the concept of depression with dark lyrics in contrast with happy instrumentals. it shows how he’s handling pain by coping i guess
0:10 it’s beautiful……..
Finger of death by heathers is probably one of the best albums of 2023 imo it would be dope if you reacted to it as they don’t get enough appreciation
One of my favorite electronic projects, thanks! And what about *M83?* I think their third album *Before the Dawn Heals Us* is just awesome! I'd be interested in your opinion... You might enjoy this mix of post-rock and electronica.
This new season you need to listen to Lingua Ignota man
Great album for the start of Smags Season 4? I think it’s season 4
Currents - Tame Impala!

Could you review "Psycho Tropical Berlin" by french group La Femme (it's a banger that mix surf rock, electro, synth-wave and psychedelic)
What song was playing over Little Dark Age?
No clue but RUclips said no to that
you should listen to blood on the tracks by bob dylan if you haven’t already, and maybe filosofem by burzum though you’d prolly hate it, my two favorite albums ever
10/10 record for me 🤌🏻 Imma be watching when we all the way to szn 20…you should listen to Sports (the duo)
Frances The Mute by Mars Volta please!!
