getting weird with WALLSOCKET by underscores *Album Reaction & Review* 

his whole reaction with johnny johnny johnny was so relatable **starts dancing** "OH NO! THIS IS HORRIBLE" **keeps dancing**

Troy trying to bop but then listening to the horrifying lyrics and getting icked out was so relatable

album of the yearrrrrree cmon

Underscores reaches a unique level of genius in this album, the attention to detail and small decision making make it a masterpiece!

IT'S OVERWHELMING HOW GOOD THIS ALBUM IS

9:40 it's a reference to a pavement song that starts with "pigs, they wiggle when they walk" which in turn is about cops. He's introing the exact same way and maybe pointing out a cop depending how you take the rest of his verse. You can definitely hear the pavement influences on this track in it's own weird way so its a really cool, on the nose touch.

Was looking through the comments and had to point out as I hadn't seen it. The final section of Uncanny Long Arms, is actually a reprise of a verse from Kinko's Field Trip 2006 from her Fishmonger EP. First time I heard that callback I nearly fell off my bed

I would LOVE to see a Jane Remover album reaction!!!

was definitely not expecting this album review but it’s sick that you checked it out!

This is dangerous because when I'm singing 'arms body legs flesh skin bone sinew' to myself in the grocery store someone might call the police

You should definitely listen to Fishmonger and Boneyard in full too, whether for videos or just for your own personal enjoyment. I enjoy both of those previous works a bit more than this new one due to the shorter song structures and more replayability, but I do think she matured as an artist really well on this one!

I know you have never shied away from the subject but I absolutely adore and appreciate your inclusion of queer music! This album is amazing!! Thanks for introducing me to it!! Also I think u should give “I Love My Girl, She’s My Boy” by BETWEEN FRIENDS a listen if you haven’t!

Fr this video is so theraputic, you have the same reactions i had to each song but you have the words to explain exactly why it's scratching that itch in my brain, what exactly in the technicalities makes it so good. I really appreciated that! Also- your editor is insane wth this is so good?!

WALLSOCKET sure is a masterpiece all on its own. You won't be able to find another one like it.

underscores, brakence........ now we need some quadeca reactions!!!! (and maybe jane remover)

as a trans woman i really loved this album and I’m glad you liked it too!

hearing your interpretation of the lyrics was so so cool to me beacause I realized how the lyrics make perfect sense within the wallsocket arg with all the characters, but also have these insane hard hitting themes, all these interpretations, all of them valid and a valuable analysis of what April created (the pony up mother and father thing was so insane to me also that is just sick)

I swear watching your reaction to this is like holding a MIRROR to my GODDAMN SOUL, man! This album, along with "hypochondriac" by Brakence (thanks for the hearted comment on that vid, again), are just such a VIBE on the first couple listens, and, y'know, they stay vibin, but they get EMOTIONAL. it's like an onion. it has LAYERS. Your reaction to Johnny Johnny Johnny is like, the physical MANIFESTATION of how I mentally coped with the dissonance between the very, very f*cked up story of the song, and the absolute BOP of everything else about it, and Uncanny long arms... to put it lightly: got me f*cking sobbing. The ending of that song was clipped from Inlaws, a demo track that eventually became Kinko's field trip 2006, my favorite song from the Fishmonger album. It's a song about insincerity, the pain that stems from that, the desire to just be yourself around other people... y'know, being trans and not being out yet. With that ending being paired with the rest of the song, which, while definitely being entrenched in the Wallsocket ARG lore (there's lore man, like I said, this sh*t has LAYERS), is so strongly about dysphoria and the feeling of not being _right_ in your own body, is just... I've been struggling with my own gender stuff for a while now, so, to say the least, it hits *different*, and by different I mean like a *TRUCK* to the *HEART* (or perhaps a _shot to the chest_) (okay so this actually took me three entire hours to write, since I went back to double check absolutely everything I wrote, and went back and listened to the songs too [and watch like two video essays because I've got ADHD and can't focus on one thing at a time] so....) Thanks for this, HT.

i got see her live recently and your reactions are literally mine. i can confidently say it slaps even harder live

Such a relatable reaction to this album. Makes me wish I could listen for the first time again

This album ended up being one of my favorites of all time ngl

Me: *expects 1989 tv* Troy: ha. You fool.

im actually so hype to see you cover this album

this is the first review i've seen from you, and I absolutely LOVE the way you break down the tracks as you're reacting. appreciate how much attention you pay to every little detail, especially. keep it up man, big fan!

seeing these lyrics be analyzed outside of the lore of the ARG is interesting actually

This project honestly was one of my favorites of the year also got to see her perform live about a month ago absolutely amazing!! Thanks for shining a light on them they deserve all the recognition

I watched this on stream, thank you for introducing me to what is atm my album of the year. I love that you cover "smaller" artists.

been obsessed with this album since the first singles dropped, and it’s awesome seeing someone appreciate just how good the songwriting is I saw her perform live with my girlfriend and it was one of the best moments of my life thank you for giving this record a shot and thank you for being so respectful and fun ❤

love discovering new artists through your videos

I never knew there was an album by someone I didn’t even know existed until today possibly beat out all other albums I’ve ever heard

Wow, this is one of the best reviews I've seen in the last year maybe, love it! And shout out underscores!!

been waiting for this! I love this album sm

Oh fuck yeah! I've been loving this album and I'm excited to see more people covering it!

first time viewer, fantastic review. really loved your commentary. my album of the year for sure !

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SO SO BAD, TY TROY

Ive never watched any of your videos but im for sure gonna check them out this was really great dude. Im in love with this album and it was really cool seeing different interpretations of it. Loved seeing how into it you got 🤘

been hoping and praying for a reaction since i saw this on ur aoty, really glad you enjoyed it!!!!

Woah this is my first time listening to any of their music, and its so cool! never really listened to anything like it before :) That reminds me will you be continuing the series where you react to small artists? I thought it was really cool and a fun way to listen to some new music!

Never watched your channel before but I love how emotive you are in your reactions! Gotta hit that subscribe. I would really recommend Census Designated by Jane Remover if you need a new album to check out. It came out very recently and she always puts out some serious gems.

this is such a good reaction/review video, thank you so much for reacting to this album!

Your energy in this review is amazing! New fan :]

love u for this

nevershoutnever reference was a deep cut. making me feel old as hell lol. loved this album!!

ALBUM OF THE YEAR ‼️😤

I love during duhhhhhhhhh someone in stream chat was like “she is mothering “ 😂❤

LOVE LOVE LOVE that you're covering less mainstream albums!!!

If you liked this one you should REALLY check out her previous album fishmonger. It made incredible waves in hyperpop when it first came out and its just as amazing as wallsocket.

"yeah she was ALWAYS the final girl dude! she was ALWAYS the final girl!" idk why this part makes me tear up sm lmaosjdjsjx hes so wholesome

yeeeah 😮😮😮 underscores!!!! Didn’t expected you to react to her new album

subbed, this is awesome, one of my fav albums

This is easily my AOTY, glad you enjoyed it. Would love to also see a reaction to Jane Remover’s new album, Census Designated

this came out of nowhere but i’m so down, underscores is incredible!!!

5:36 the jeopardy bit with the reversal on the editing is amazing, had to rewatch it a few times! In fact the editing for the entirety of Locals is INSPIRED. So fun to watch someone hear it for the first time, and then it's just kicked it a notch.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING THIS ARTIST RECOGNITION!!!

I saw underscores in concert and people were crying between fucking jammers where they were dancing their asses off

this album is so fuckin wild i'm really glad you listened to it on stream

Moshing to this album at a live show was truly an experience

36:42 funny enough she gave her parents a shout out at the Los Angeles show because they were there 😭

18:27 that is such a great interpretation!!

I like this 🥰 and We're waiting for your 1989TV reaction 🫡

My friend just introduced me to this album what a coincidence!

Could you do a reaction to Jane Remover's FRAILTY Album? That would be amazing

the underscores slander in the chat makes me sad omg tysm for reviewing her i love her music

9:43 “stereo” by Pavement. The very first line of that song is “Pigs the tend to wiggle when they walk” and to me that can only be a reference to that

Is that a GODDAMN BANJO?!? 🤯 27:18

YASSS UNDERSCORES :D

i fucking love this album, I'm obsessed

def gotta react to fraily and census by jane

Troye please do Troye Sivan’s new album something to give each other!!💓🙏🏻🙏🏻

Underscores review what!!??? YAAAAS!

underscores love forever

"OH NO OH NO OH BUT ITS SO BOPPY"

you dont even know who i am is about parasocial relationships and how scary and possessive fans get when it comes to celebrities. its defo up for interpretation tho when i first listened i thought it was abt being in love with someone who doesnt want the same thing.

I hope u react to fishmonger one day! It has some of my fav underscores songs on it. Thanks for this great video!!

Could you possibly do a Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good album reaction please. It came out 4 months ago but it one of the best albums of 2023! (in my opinion)

Petition for more Ethel Cain 🤞🏻🫦

YEEEEEES

bro you need to do a mansionz 2 review video right this instant, it just dropped last night.

You have to listen to Stephen Sanchez’s new album Angel Face!!

You should check out Peter Mcpoland!! He released an album this past summer and would love hear your thoughts on it king!!😛

will you ever react to madison beer?? both her albums (life support, and silence between songs) are bangers and i hope to see your reaction!!

PLLLLLEEEEAAESSSEEEEE WEYES BLOOD

You should really listen to the album I Love You by Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers. Its not a very popular band but they are so good and deserve so much more recognition

i know you constantly get requests for things so i dont expect anything, but underscores just released a deluxe for this album, i think youd really enjoy to revisit it :)

46:01 that last verse is an interpolation of a different song from her previous album, which i am very sentimental of. Hit me like a truck.

i feel really indignantedI feel very indignant that this video has so few views!!! too underrated

My man I’m still waiting for your Demi’s REVAMPED reaction😭 is it ever coming??? Just wanna know if I should wait or give up

I've started to go through the highest rated and best selling albums of the year for my best albums list, and this is so far my number 2 behind only Sufjan Stevens' Javelin.

Please please please listen to Frailty by Jane Remover. Life changing stuff

you should listen to jane removers (featured on uncanny long arms) new album census designated it just came out and it’s incredible

we need a The Rest reaction!

bro you have to listen to “i didn’t mean to haunt you” by quadeca, you’ll cry so much

I would say Fishmonger and Boneyard is more hyperpop driven. Love Wallsocket for that rock grunge feel tho

44:22 "oh no she can't do the Chappell Roan dance then" is so funny lmaooooooo

NO WAY IM GONNA EAT THIS VIDEO UP

AM I DREAMING WTF YAYYY

PLEASE DO SCARLET NEXT

she dropped the deluxe :3

plsssss listen to sawayama by rina sawayama, or emotion by carly rae 😭

brooooo please do census designated and frailty both by jane remover
