@@phantombreadreacts The album "Hot Rats" is really great. I figured youd like it because you liked this so much. It has the same kind of bizareness and humor to the music, while being very complex and technical.
I didn’t understand black midi when I watched their first kexp show. Holy holy not only got me interested in black midi, but got me excited about music again. I haven’t been this excited about an album or artist in some time. Also, geordie is a cutie
BRAT SUMMER IS OVER, BONGO SEASON IS HERE I definitely had a very similar experience listening to this, thank you for uploading so I could experience it all over again. This time with a cute cat and cute girl. Good luck with your budding youtube endeavors. Long live emperor Greep!
Thanks for the great reaction! I particularly appreciate your analysis of as if waltz and its comparison to the character in Holy Holy. I feel like that type of character is in most songs in the album. I think the re-contextualization of "If You Are But A Dream" alongside all of these pictures of pathetic men is really interesting.
thank you! yes you’re 100% right about the cover - these characters are content to literally live in a dream/fantasy/illusion because they’re too afraid of the isolation of their reality - perhaps the only way they can survive - so great
Your responses have been more insightful than any male RU-vidr’s. It’s nice to hear from someone who gets how literary these character sketches are and who understands irony. Plus, you clearly love the music. A joy to watch.
I take it you’ve listened to black midi’s best friends in Black Country, New Road? Ants From Up There or For The First Time or even Live at Bush Hall reaction would be stellar! Love your insights here.
already love your vibe girl! would love to see your thoughts on no hands by joey valence and brae! super fun and danceable hip hop album from this year
maybe its the recency bias but this is my favorite album ever and the magician is up there with my favorite song ever, and the fact that its not even the full album is insane cause theres extended mixes and bonus songs on the vinyl and japanese versions INCLUDING the magician extended which will be my goal to listen to when i can. i listened to this with my friends in a vc and when i was in there we were all losing our fucking minds especially me
If you like the kinda beachy sound a couple of these songs have, try crumbling by mid air thief-or maybe ceres & calypso in the deep time by candy claws
Greepin out so hard, also of you like witty and entertaining lyrics (esp Father John Misty) listen to LCD Soundsystem, they’re also very sonically similar to a sorta modern talking heads in style
I'm not a simp but seeing you, I may as well become one of the characters on Geordie's next album cus wow pretty. Also fun reaction of course, you seem to know a lot about music
