Crazy how he references three of the most heartbreaking songs on the first official full length track- “Billie eilish eyes”-good will hunting “A concord will fly”-Concorde “Ignore the hole I’ve dug again”-Haldern It’s like he was warning us of what he was going to tell us about, what he had been through.
You're absolutely right about how these tracks will grow on you. I had pretty much the same thoughts as you on first listen, but can confirm every single song has a very special place in my heart a year down the line. it takes time for you to understand what each track is trying to do and once you understand its incredible
would love to know what you think of this today, I wasn't the hugest fan on first listen, it was around a high 7/low 8 for me at the time, but it's genuinely grown on me to the point where it's my favourite album of the decade alongside Wolf Alice's Blue Weekend and Kendrick's Mr Morale
Watching this I can't help but feel pure jealousy seeing you hear it for the first time. Such an original, amazing album. I just wish the absolute best for Isaac.
I remember one day last year looking at RYM charts before embarking on my 2 hours circular countryside/beach/countryside walk. I chose to try AFUT on Spotify. I can virtually remember the place where I heard each track for the first time. And thumbs up for your last sentiment. It hurts.
Very few albums ripped my face off first listen and cemented their place for me. Last one I remember being that impactful was "Against the Grain" from Bad Religion. Glow on, Turnstile is one to watch very closely, incredibly fresh, yet familiar. I can't stop listening to it, "Don't Play" is my favorite track.
This album was the soundtrack to my family's life when dealing with my 10 mo daughters cancer treatment.. She had a major surgery(removal of right kidney & huge mass attached) followed by chemo & radiation, we drove 3 hrs drive 4 days a week for her treatment. She is 1 yr cancer free at the moment, praise the Lord! Cancer is not natural, 1000s of mummy autopsies, ZERO cancerous tumors!!! These fuckers have us swimming in a pool of toxins & poisons. Regardless, this soundtrack was what we listened to on our constant long drives & brings a flood of emotions when i listen to it. Our sweet baby is almost 3 now, & she has a brother, almost 5. Let music you resonate with, teach you, inspire you & guide you. We've been lied to, deceived on every level imaginable. Make babies, seek the truth & enjoy this experience & grow. Life is beautiful & beyond this is an upgrade, if you make the cut. Tell others, in whatever medium you excell at... do your thing & share it, dont be shy!!!
Have you checked out king gizzards PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation ?
hey could you do another king gizzard and the lizard wizard reaction they recently had a new album come out that is all heavy rock called petrol dragonic apocalypse
Your reaction totally mirrors my experience. There are only a handful of albums where I clearly remember my first listen. This has joined the list. A stunning, beautiful, emotional masterpiece. Many of these songs bring me to tears. This will be a future classic.
I cried watching this. Ive had a rough time not feeling stable joy for 8 years leaving me disconnected from the world. Being able to listen to music that i like and seeing how others feel the same, there's not much like it. Well done, Jon.
honestly, i cried watching you react to concorde. i love watching album reactions because it's like, as close to hearing the album again for the first time as i can get. but your reactions are especially touching because of how deeply you feel the music and how evident that is in your facial expressions and sparse commentary. i don't have many friends, and even fewer who like the same music as i do. this video made me feel like i was sharing a very special album with a close friend. thank you!
I wish I could go back and listen to this album all over again for the first time. It's stunning in every way possible, a modern masterpiece without a doubt
It only takes several transitions of riffs to make a very good or great song epic. Son of Darkness has that potential, but it has those monotonous riffs, though great ones.
If you'd told me that after first hearing fontaines dc that they would become the band I listened to most since, I would never have believed you. First fell in love after listening to a heroes death, but am all over them now. Also loved Grians track with Leftfield, and his new album, especially Fairlies 👌❤️ absolutely love his voice. Loved watching the reaction to this, great content thanks
