You are not the only person on RU-vid reacting to music, but you are one of the only ones I’ve seen who will honestly say when you don’t like a song or album, and that’s awesome. Can’t guarantee you’ll like it but I’d love for you to react to my fav band, The Pogues, I’d recommend the album If I Should Fall From Grace With God, I know you like lyrics and I personally believe Shane MacGowan wrote the best lyrics in all of music. Thanks for all the videos, keep it going lad.
Yo you should check out CASIOPEA- self titled. Its a gateway into Japanese jazz fusion which is a pretty obscure genre and is their debut. Its joyful music which tickles your ears btw having trout mask replica dead last is based 🦶
Public Strain by Women, such an incredibly underrated album with a cult following that I'm sure you and a bunch of new people will love, it's like if the Beach Boys and Television were locked in an ice cave for years and their only escape was making a very isolating post-punk record
some recommendations Everything Everything - Get to Heaven Justice - Cross Duster - Contemporary Movement A Silver Mt Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms Glass Beach - Plastic Death
The way you described Mellon Collie is so accurate. Moving forward PLEASE do Shed by Title Fight. It is similar to Floral Green. Songs like Where Am I, Coxton Yard, and 27 are CRAZY! Def gotta give it a listen.
wire - pink flag blur - parklife David bowie - Scary Monsters and super creeps The Smiths - meat is Murder the jesus and mary chain - psychocandy R.E.M - Automatic for the People Siousxie and The Banshees - Juju the cure - seventeen seconds Arctic Monkeys - Favourite worst nightmare
You should do the challenge Brad Taste In Music posted a couple days ago and listen to Girl With Basket Of Fruit by Xiu Xiu, there’s a $100 prize for the best reaction
I highly recommend mahavishnu orchestra inner mountain flame as a gateway jazz album. It’s a jazz rock album but definitely more on the rock side. Never heard anything like it when I first listend to it and still haven’t. It gets my blood pumping like no other album.
I love these ranking videos you do every 40 albums! Also, here's some albums I think you'll like :) M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us WillyRodriguezWasTaken - wetdream death's dynamic shroud - Darklife Candy Claws - Two Airships / Exploder Falls
Season 5 Recommendations: Scattersun - Parannounl & Fax Gang Distant Skies, Run Free - Dola (Only on RU-vid) Circle of Veins - Sadness April Sunset - Sadness I want to be there - Sadness Lands of Delight - Alon Mor Within - Alon Mor Long Awaited Journey - Alon Mor
you’re the best reactor right now, been watching you since the aphex twin saw vol 2 video. Here are some recommendations: - Vision Creation Newsun (Boredoms) - Puberty 2 (Mitski) - Uchu Nippon Setagaya (Fishmans) hope your channel becomes more popular. Love from Brazil ❤️
season 5 recs: 0-ichiko aoba talkie walkie- air teen dream- beach house two airships/exploder falls- candy claws flood- boris age of adz- sufjan stevens
Hey Smags, love your reactions and happy you’re enjoying sober Bowie (Low supremacy) I know you plan to do Blackstar and imo there are some albums that are essensial before getting to his death (RIP) I’d say 100% do Hunky Dory and Scary Monsters, they’ll make great reactions for sure and are CLASSICS. Let’s Dance is wildly different and will make a fun reaction I think for someone who already knows Bowie’s classics and it’s also great imo. Outside is also considered a classic among fans but post 80s Bowie is widely overlooked so it would make sense if you don’t want to do those Thank you Smagger! Can’t wait for Blackstar though
Some recommendations based on your previous listenings, but also new ones: The smashing pumpkins - Adore David Bowie - Lodger, Scary Monsters, 1.Outside Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal Nick Cave and the Bad seeds - Skeleton Tree Coil - Musick to play in the dark vol. 1
@@cuteasxtreme I guess it depends if he wants to go back and stay on the same sound or listen to their evolution after Mellon Collie. I prefer Adore to Gish, so that’s why I recommended it. But that’s just a personal opinion.
yes PLEASE listen to the new Beth Gibbons record it’s my album of the year right now it’s gorgeous usual list of recs: Third Eye Blind - Self-Titled Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway Parannoul - After the Magic clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned
some recs for you: This Heat - Deceit (weird post punk) Steve Reich - Music For 18 Musicians (best classical piece you will ever hear) Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I (indie rock/emo kinda?? goated either way) Pavement - Wowee Zowee (their best album imo) Sprain - The Lamb As Effigy (swans is the best comparison) Tim Hecker - Virgins (scary ambient)
@svp6055 he talks about how he really likes the lighter songs on old rock albums so maybe something lighter like love supreme or in a silent way by Miles Davis would be better
@@StanleyDietrich A Love Supreme is NOT light in the slightest, it's one of the most intense jazz albums ever recorded, it's to Coltrane what Bitches Brew was to Miles. For a light pick, Kind of Blue or, I agree about In A Silent Way, works for Miles, older Coltrane stuff is more laid back (My Favorite Things is my personal choice there). He'd also probably really like Head Hunters, since it's kind of groovy and electronic.
@@svp6055I agree totally…A Love Supreme is so good but definitely not the album I’d recommend as a first Coltrane listen. Gotta see where he came from first. My Fave Things is a great suggestion. I’d add Blue Train and the album he did with Thelonious Monk. All 3 of those are fantastic but a lighter listen with some covers and jazz standards in the mix. A Love Supreme is focused, serious work…not to be trifled with lightly lol.
a few "out there" recs: yellow swans - going places (drone/noise) steve hiett - down on the road by the beach (ambient pop, not on spotify) also i second flood since i saw someone else mention it. it's more of a single composition instead of an album tho
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)
Ambient reccomendations : Stars Of The Lid - Stars Of The Lid And Their Refinement Of The Decline - for the chillest most 'ambient' like album, this shit heals your soul. Devon Hendryx (or JPEGMAFIA) - Ghost Pop Tape, depressive ambient pop. Honestly anything from jpegmafia would be cool Tim Hecker - Virgins, rather dark and very visceral ambient experience, it is also shorter than stars of the lid one. Also anything by Tim hecker would be very cool
Moon Safari brings me right back to my little Seattle apartment in 1999. Warm music from a cold period (not a great year for me.) Excellent choice for number one.....
Smags my friend Moon Safari is incredible fantastic first choice, their album Talkie Walkie is also incredible and has more lyrics if you're interested
Hey bro love the reactions keep it up! Got a couple of recs for you: Aja - Steely Dan (Jazz rock) By the time I get to Phoenix - Injury Reserve (Experimental rap). I’ve seen others suggest this but it really is worth reacting to imo Ghosts of the great highway - Sun Kil Moon (Folk rock)
My recommendations: Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Sheena Ringo - Shouso Strip Café Tacvba - Re Devon Hendryx - The Ghost~Pop Tape Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs - World is Yours
M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly Injury Reserve - By The Time I Get To Phoenix Tyler, The Creator - IGOR Animal Collective - Feels Weezer - Pinkerton Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver
ive been getting into 70s soul music lately, if you haven't listened to the big Stevie Wonder albums theyre beyond necessary, id start with songs in the key of life and I'd say fulfullingnesses first finale is underrated af
I'm a bit late to this but I have to say that you might be the music reaction/review channel that I watch even if I don't care about the album you're talking about. You're doing great stuff. Also I would highly recommend the girl, the cat and the tree by Lausse the Cat. Lausse has stopped making music but that album holds a special place in my heart. The way he tells a horrifying story of his life through the persona of a fictional cat called Lausse is amazing. Easily my favourite rap album ever.
Some really needed metal recommendations 😁 Tool: Aenima Megadeth: Peace Sells and Rust in Peace Pantera: Vulgar Display of Power Metallica: Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets Judas Priest: Painkiller Faith no More - Angel Dust Deftones - Around The Fur Type O Negative: Octuber Rust Agalloch - The Mantle and Ashes Against the Grain Isis - Panopticon Death - Honestly, every album by them from the 90's is goated, but Symbolic is a very welcoming album for people who have no experience with death metal Opeth - Damnation, Ghost Reveries and Blackwater Park Gojira - From Mars to Sirius These are some very iconic and easy albums to listen if you don't have a lot of prior experience with the genre, i feel it's really important to start with some of these as it can ease you up for the harsher stuff that you'll find by the lots, have fun 🗣️
I love your reactions, best in RU-vid! So happy to see you love air as much as me and I hope you listen to more of their stuff soon. But, for your next 40 I think you should try out a genre called Canterbury scene ( very similar to prog rock) it’s like story music, and I think the perfect album for you to listen to first would be In the Land of Grey and Pink by caravan!
Have you reviewed Jellyfish, Spilt Milk? This is the only album, (and I was a big music snob back in the 90’s) that I’d instantly dislike you if you didn’t love it. The production, the influences, (Beach Boys, Queen, The Beatles) taken to new heights, yes I said it. I love this album more than any of those bands. Crazy right? Review it, before it’s too late for you
Here’s some recommendations for season 5: Ice dancer Bladee A promise Xiu Xiu Dogsbody model actriz Minds buried alive pallbearer Dark superstition gatecreeper Awaken my love childish Gambino
I’m so happy that atrocity exhibition is so high in this list, one of my favourite hip hop albums. I beg you pls listen to a squid album, either O Monolith or Bright Green Field.
If you like American football I’d recommend Hold Your Horse Is by Hella. It’s an essential math rock album, just guitar and drums. The drummer from death grips Zach Hill is on it, you should check it out! Love your content btw
Love to see Mellon Collie and Third get some love and make the top 10. MC is a bit of a trek to get through the whole thing but they ease you in…the first 7-8 tracks are all bangers before it starts to meander towards the “double album” type stuff. Third is just awesome…I remember when it first dropped that it immediately hit me as my favorite of theirs and still is. Awesome old-school synths and great instrumentation (especially the guitar…dude is always on point even though it’s not guitar-forward music). Dummy gets a little time capsule-ish to the 90’s to my ear with the DJ scratches and synth patches. Still great, but Dummy does make me cringe a bit at some of the en vogue stuff for the time it was recorded.
Putting Air's Moon Safari as number 1 is such a great choice. I really hope you do a couple more Autechre releases in the next 40, specifically the albums LP5 and Amber. I'm fairly confident TriRep will be your least favourite going forward into their discography. Thanks again for all your videos, here's to another 40!
XXX needs to be the next Danny Brown album and you should listen to a very well deserved critically acclaimed underground/experimental rap album from last year, Maps by Billy Woods with producer Kenny Segal
recs: abbey road - the beatles (you never give me your money to the end is an entire medley from start to finish!!) gizmodgery - self spilt milk - jellyfish
You should listen to Homework from Daft Punk. Although it is quite raw (it was their first album), it really is such a sick album, one of my favorites of all time!!!
for season 5 ill recommend: adore by the smashing pumpkins nevermind by nirvana automatic for the people by rem blue lines by massive attack crooked rain crooked rain by pavement the earth is not a cold place by explosions in the sky to bring you my love by pj harbey is this desire by pj harvey jar of flies by alice in chians the velvet underground without you im nothing by placebo
Please do Serotonin II by yeule it’s easily my favourite ambient pop record. The production is incredible and their vocals on that album is some of my favourite vocals ever
Hey Smags! If you love prog rock, Moving Pictures by Rush is so good (as a Canadian myself), but Songs by Adrianne Lenker is also amazing and i highly recommend it
I love your number drawings so much!!! >w< If I were to recommend you a record, it would be “Caligula” because of how much I would love to hear your thoughts on it, and just to bring awareness of it to you like this since it got snubbed in the community poll >.< Anyways, great videooooo!!!!!!!!
you gotta check some latin rap, I hope you enjoy Muerte by Canserbero. It's a very special record for latin culture as it shows a lot of Venezuela's and Latin America's stories. I think you would love it. Canserbero it's the absolute GOAT of latin rap
I think you would like ''Ray of Light'' by Madonna and ''Walking Wounded'' by Everything But The Girl, both albums are kinda of similar to All I Need by Air and Fly to You by Caroline Polachek. If you love those two songs I think you would really enjoy these two albums, I love your videos :) !
Trout Mask Replica is fucking awesome. But from the first time I heard it, it was YEARS after that I liked it... But I didn't keep going back on anything like that. I just got deep into jazz.
Keep up the great work! My recommendations: The Wrens - The Meadowlands 12 Rods - Split Personalities Bark Psychosis - Codename: Dustsucker Self - Subliminal Plastic Motives
Don't give up on Autechre. Tri Repetae is one of their most accessible, least adventurous albums. The production on their music from 2001 onwards is really unique, and has had an influence on music comparable to that of Aphex Twin, just less talked about. Check out this talk SOPHIE had about Autechre and their influence on her: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M3clF7gQhv4.html . I'd suggest checking out Confield or Exai next if you decide to go back to them.
Lmao, I knew Air would hit #1. I KNEW. Still happy that you like it too. Hope we get to see you enjoy their other albums too in due time. Also, I hope you check out 'Kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions', the perfect album to chill to in the summer, all I'm sayin'
Check out Everythig Harmoney by the lemon twigs. Ik you love the beach Boys and this album takes the beautiful harmonisation of the beach boys but with crisper production and even better singing
I don’t have a ton to recommend but one album I LOVE is It’s Album Time by Todd Terje. Awesome synth pop/dance album. Super danceable and all synth sounds were made MAINLY with an ARP 2600
