Typical Men React To LAUREL HELL | Mitski(litski) 

You're edging us for Puberty 2

Well, Mitski described stay soft as SEX-DISCO-TRAUMA lmao

And I think the album is hit or miss because her fans were looking for sad girl music when she had her comeback. Her coming with an upbeat 80s sound was not what they were looking for because some see her solely as an artist to get emo 2, + u guys were right most of this album is about her relationship with being an artist esp since she was not going to come back to music and dropped this after a 3yr hiatus

Mitski was a film student for more lore about working for the knife! She didn't pursue it but its obvious in her mvs and I think the knife is just government/modern society.

56:40 That's totally true. Laurel Hell was a very divisive album when it was released mainly because its sound is very different from Mitski's past albums. Lush and Retired from Sad are very piano-based, with more "obscure" sounds, while Bury Me at Makeout Creek and Puberty 2 are more rock-punk and guitar-based. Some people say that Laurel Hell ain't that good because of the overuse of the 80s sounds and the usage of synths kinda misses her sad-girl image. It's funny to me cuz Be the Cowboy already had many synths and it was such an acclaimed album. Another important piece of context is that Mitski went into hiatus for 2-3 years after releasing Be the Cowboy, so Laurel Hell was expected to be her big comeback, and people probably expected something more similar to Puberty 2 or BMAMC, but instead was very different from her previous albums. Personally, I love Laurel Hell. Imo it's great to hear Mitski revolve around different genres and it just feels kinda wrong how underrated Laurel Hell is!

I remember I became a fan right as Laurel Hell dropped and omg??? Like I don’t understand how people disliked it because it was and will always be my #1

yeah guys, u nailed this one. I also love what she did with the instrumentation from some of Laurel Hell songs into her new tour. Like Valentine, tExas. Dammn u should try and listen to one of her The Land.. tour videos. Patrick is still mastering those sounds. He's a maniac.

I love that we can see the difference from when you were listening to mitski for the first time n now. It was just vibin but now u guys r fr tryina figure out the poetry. Also love that we can listen to the whole song w u guys now.

u guys NEEDDDDD to react to puberty 2 it’s lowk her best one

One important thing about The Only Heartbreaker is that she wanted to portray a relationship where she (or the listener) is the only one messing up bevause they’re the only one trying. While the partner isn’t. She said this in an interview, and I definitely looked into it lyrically and I think I only found one instance bc she also said she tried to make it more of a subtle or deeper layer. In the “I'll be the water main that's burst and flooding // You'll be by the window, only watching in” is the lyric I think might be somewhat overlooked but a perfect example where she’s broken and causing flooding, but the s/o is merely watching, not worried, not looking to fix anything

yall digging some of the 80s beats in this makes me think you should look into chappel roan! very fun, feels like something youd dance to, and i think youd enjoy the production of some of the songs! makes you wanna groove tbh

So excited for u listening to Puberty 2. I still think of the music video of Happy its so good

So happy you guys are back with some mitski, we need more pleaseeee 🙏🙏

Mitski ranking: 1. Retired from sad 2. BMAMC 3. Puberty 2 4. The Land is Inhospitable 5. Be the Cowboy 6. Lush 7. Laurel Hell I still like Laurel Hell but Mitski's discography is just too good. Also Should've Been Me is about being cheated on but from a perspective of understanding and when you relisten through that lense it adds a whole other layer to the song

valentine texas is in 4/4 but the drum beat is hard to follow along with at first. once you know it it’s cool though!

this is exactly what i needed

Ranking: Puberty 2 The Land is Inhospitable and So are We Be The Cowboy Bury me At Makeout Creek Laurel Hell

This album is so underrated

puberty 2 laurel hell the land be the cowboy lush bury me retired from sad i listen to mitski alot and i got to say seeing her in concert was the best night ever i literally own all her vinyls i know so much about her lol

9:54 yeah my grandfather has been a mechanic since he was 30, now at 63 hes on social security and still doing mechanic work for his friends and others so we can get by, its a sad truth in america

this her best album u can’t prove me wrong 🙏🙏🙏

Let’s gooooooo yayy

this is lietrally her best album idk why ppl don't like it 😭😭😭😭😭😭

YESS MITSKI!!!! y’all should react to rm he has a new album out (right place, wrong person) it’s very versatile and experimental!!

Also when you do listen to Lush or Retired From sad, they were both made as projects when she was in college

i love how in i guess she talks about how she will keep this quite after the song and in the end of the song theres like 5 seconds of silence

it departs from her usual sound in some ways for sure but i think it's an amazing album - for sure was surprised when i first heard it bc it was simply not what i was expecting but the mixing and all the sounds she uses are as always amazing. quickly became one of my fav albums of hers - if u listen to her albums in order u can really tell how the quality is gradually getting better and better, don't get me wrong all her albums sound amazing but she's definitely going UP in that aspect with every new release. u can really see her growth both musically and thematically bc she's been doing this for a while which is really cool!

I need Puberty 2 nowww

YESS THIS IS HED BEST ALBOM

Please I've been watching the whole album reacts which were amazing. Yall had nice opinions also. I'm asking if yall can go lower albums which has more deep meanings. Maybe Retired in Sad New Career in Bussines

i NEED you to react to lush. that album changed me

The reason this album was a hit or miss was due to a few factors, This was released after Mitskis 3 year hiatus because she had one more album with her label she was with but after she planned on quitting/retiring. Another fact is some mitski fans are so used to her acoustic style albums like Puberty 2 and BMAMC. This album was more spunky, upbeat and a drastic change from her other pieces of art!!

I think the knife is her career and shes working to sharpen it and make it strongerbut she gets weaker in return and lose ambition

I actually want you guys to search all the meanings of the Mitski song you've listened to

personally its so difficult to rank her albums. i have a different relationship with each of them because the genres are so different from each other. the lyrics hit different too, i swear they change meaning every time i listen to them. anyway so glad yall enjoyed this one!!!

You guys need to listen to puberty 2 now, please!!!!! It's her best album

I found this I think best sums up the meaning of the album name and makes sense with the themes of the songs “Laurel Hell” is named for the rhododendron thickets of southern Appalachia. Campers who have come into contact with these thickets, which are referred to colloquially as laurel hells, describe the blooms as beautiful but the branches as thorny and extremely difficult to maneuver around. Stardom is Mitski’s laurel hell: she loves writing and performing music, but the sacrifices that come with giving herself completely to her art have the potential to destroy her.

shame you missed the music video for Working for the Knife that was such a phenomenal visual

I would love if you guys reacted to Lana Del Rey, 'Born to Die' album! I know last album you guys didn't enjoy it as much, but I really enjoyed your honest opinions!!

my personal ranking of the mitski albums you’ve listened to so far is… BMAMC > TLIHASAW > BTC > Laurel Hell love all those albums but i would insert Puberty 2 2nd in that ranking so you need to get to it immediately! Great video guys.

WOW I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS IM GLAD U GUYS LIKED IT a few things: - I think a couple reasons why a lot of mitski fans didnt like this album that much was because it came after a 3 yr hiatus and it didnt rly fit the sad girl music people wanted to see from her. also, what I see most people complaining about is the production (people say its over-produced, whatever the heck that means. I personally think Patrick did an amazing job) - also, for the only heartbreaker, that song is about how when only one person in a relationship is trying, only that person can make mistakes. here's what mitski said about it in an interview: "[It is about] the person always messing up in the relationship, the designated Bad Guy who gets the blame. It could simply be about that, but I also wanted to depict something sadder beneath the surface, that maybe the reason you’re always the one making mistakes is because you’re the only one trying." - my ranking: laurel hell, puberty 2, BTC, TLIIASAW, and BMAMC - congrats on your new space and primo im sorry about your past relationship :"( - id be interested in seeing your reaction to Conan grays new album found heaven!

REACT TO RETIRED FROM SAD NEW CAREER IN BUISNESS I BEG

Thanks for reacting to laurel hell. I think this album is usually not the favorite of most fans. My personal album ranking would be : 1. Lush 2. Retired from Sad, New Career in Business 3. The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We 4. Puberty 2 5. Laurel Hell 6. Bury Me at Makeout Creek / Be the Cowboy

Listen to the Glow Pt. 2 by The Microphones 😩

PLS LISTEN TO PUBERTY 2, THAT ONE IS SUCH A FUN LISTEN!!!! to answer your question during shouldve been me, i think that the fans dont view this album as that good because it doesn’t compare to her other ones. I personally love this album but comparing it to the other ones its rly not anywhere near the same (popularity wise). This one has at least 3 repeatable songs where as every other album has basically no skips

RICO AND PRIMO DROP A REACTION TO PUBERTY 2 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

My Ranking: Laurel Hell Bury me At Makeout Creek Puberty 2 Be the Cowboy The Land is Inhospitable and So are We

I love all of her albums, but if I had to rank them it'd be something like this: 1. The Land is Inhospitable and so are We 2. Puberty 2 3. Be the Cowboy 4. Bury me at Makeout Creek 5. Retired from Sad, New Career in Business 6. Lush Tbh they're pretty much on par with each other, but trying to be more "objective" (using quotes since there's nothing more subjective than music) I'd say The Land is her most solid project so far, while some tracks from Lush are a bit boring Puberty 2 was the best before the release of The Land imo, great songs

where did ur billie video go 😭alsooo u guys should so listen to Chappell roan's rise and fall of a midwest princess!!! please!!! and if u do u should also listen to her single good luck babe!!

to me Laurel hell isn’t even a hit or miss, it’s just middle of the pack

please please PLEASE react to when the pawn by Fiona apple 🙏 loved this vid btw

Please do all her albums. Lush and retired from sad new career in business. Please please please.🎉

We know you weren't a big fan of lana, but i think you should give her another chance. You should do Born to Die, Lust For Life or NFR. her most upbeat catchy album is Born to die, Lust for life is more hiphop influenced as it has Asap and carti on it. NFR is a fan and critic favorite, people deem it as her best, however it does have a 8 minute song but its perfect.

Mitski Nerd is perfectly fine! 😂 People hate on this album cuz it's introspective, more 80s, less rock, more dancey- ig that's why... I personally rank this in top 3 from her. Love this album! ❤

What happened to the chappel roan video?

My ranking : 1 puberty 2 2 laurel hell 3 the land is inhospitable 4 be the cowboy 5 BMAMC I love all the albums a lot tho

Bro i know its a lil late but go over the kendrick and drake beef pls 😂

Ranking: Puberty 2 The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We Laurel Hell Be The Cowboy Bury Me At Makeout Creek

my ranking would be: Puberty 2 Laurel Hell TLIIASAW Be the Cowboy BMAMOC

Can you guys do Troye Sivan's album for pride month? He was a youtuber before becoming a huge singer. The album is Something to Give Each Other and it got some music videos

1 laurell hell 2 the lande is inhospitable and so are we 3 be the cow boy 4 puperty 2 5 barry me at make out creek

I already consider myself a fan of yours, I have a recommendation for you, BRAT by Charli xcx

I hate that Camilla song too, she is trying to copy Charli XCX and even Charli xcx and her producer made fun of it. Charli made a tiktok to her song that Camilla copied and AG Cook her producer called her production cheap

Not the same building

Puberty 2 > BMAMC > Laurel Hell > Be the Cowboy > TLIIASAW

Patrik hyland doesnt do everything he just help her with the production

Puberty 2 > BMAMC > Laurel Hell > Be The Cowboy > TLIIASAW
