UNDERSCORES - WALLSOCKET [ALBUM REACTION] 

Comment your favorite and least favorite song from the album!

The part where you finally understood what johnny johnny johnny was about. Its certainly not the type of song you'd expect to tackle such a confronting topic.

Shoot to kill, kill your darlings is probably my favourite song on the album. Not understanding the obsession some people have with wanting to go to war and kill is something i also share, especially when someone is well off and has all the opportunities to do whatever they want and have a good upbringing why are you so excited and willing to throw yourself into the line of fire.

Johnny johnny johnny is the kind of song that relentlessly drives you to groove and dance while making you feel HORRIBLE about doing so. Such an important and brilliant song. Even down to the Johnny Whoops chant being a children's game. Just, ugh. Don't have a least favorite, this album is that good, but my favorite has gotta be Geeze Louise

16:20 The lines spoken throughout the song are sampled from Dance Dance Revolution 4thMIX’s results announcer, specifically when failing a stage.

Henhouse Gabby Start and Underscores were all in the same group Papaya & Friends a while back if anyone wants to look into their stuff more

the final bit from uncanny long arms was actually an interpolation / kinda remix of one of the songs off her first album fishmonger! would love to see a reaction to it sometime lol its insane too

9:23 you are actually right. she and her friends(she is in a band called"six impala"and there are five of her friends and she making cool hyperpop shit) said that they are huge fans of skrillex my favs: cops and robbers, johnny johnny johnny, you don't even know who i am (very underrated in my opinion) old money bitch ,seventeen dog years, shoot to kill,kill your darlings, locals (girls like us)and good luck final girl

idk if you looked at this but shes only 23, she dropped (and debuted) on soundcloud when she was just 13 making dubstep

I recently discovered the album is also a massive concept album. It's a story that takes place in a town called wallsocket. There are fictional websites that entail events from songs in real time. It's absolutely mind blowing how much thought and care went into the creation of this album.

there are so many great moments on Wallsocket that it's hard to pick just one! Cops and robbers, Locals, and Old money bitch are all fun as hell pop-rock tracks. Geez louise suddnely switching into a square dance song is wild in the best way. Uncanny long arms is beautiful and SO cathartic. everything else brings a sense of darkness and/or sarcasm that Wallsocket just would not be the same without, and every single song on the album feels necessary for the worldbuilding going on within. but if i HAD to pick just one moment that's my favorite, i would probably have to say Shoot to kill, kill your darlings/Horror movie soundtrack. the intro on Shoot to kill just does something for my brain, and then the beat fades in and it GROOVES SO HARD. the melodies and chord movements are SO catchy too, plus i share the sentiment of not understanding the "war prudes". it hits especially close to home for me because i was friends with one of them for a few years in school. i always thought it was weird how obsessed he was with wars and weapons, but let it be because it takes all kinds... until he treated my body in way that was unacceptable to me. all else i'll say about it is that i have not talked to him since. anyway, Shoot to kill ends with the repeated and increasingly glitchy "i just don't want you to die" which is somehow simultaneously cathartic and anti-cathartic. and as a six impala fan, i LOVE that sort of stuff! then it blends SEAMLESSLY into Hms, which is one of the most angry, brooding, and dare i say deranged songs i've ever heard. the narrator is OUT. FOR. BLOOD. i can smell the blood and sweat and gun smoke just from listening to the song, it's titled so perfectly and the atmosphere does NOT disappoint. i feel both songs in my whole body; the first part of Stk,kyd just makes me MOVE, and the drop of Stk,kyd and Hms make me feel those feelings as if they were my own. underscores has been a favorite artist of mine for a few years now, and i cannot express how happy it makes me that she managed to avoid sophomore slump so well. criminally underrated artist, and i'm very very glad that more people are not only discovering her music, but enjoying it as well! (hi Daisy!)

she goes to work at the cracker barrel 🔥 (hi daisy)

my favorite is "you don't even know who i am", saw underscores live in D.C. and her performance of the song was absolutely stunning there. for the studio version I guess my favorite is "geez louise" as it has so many different things to enjoy! least fav is "horror movie soundtrack", doesn't have a ton that keeps me bringing back but i don't dislike it. just the sorta song i would only listen to while doing a full album listen through ^^ hi daisy :D

Loved this album so much. Uncanny Long Arms is definitely my favorite track and I guess if I had to pick one Horror movie soundtrack is my least.

On the jane remover and quadeca stuff, jane came out with a new single a few days ago and the music video is directed and edited by quadeca

Im pretty sure April has mentioned that skrillex is her biggest inspo in music.

idk my blood type either LOL

i'm pretty sure the sample used in "You don't even know who I am" is from dance dance revolution, it's directly translated from Japanese which is why it sounds a little off

This album is so fucking good. Combines every genre I absolutely love (not so much rap/hip hop, but yknow a tinge). The noise, hyperpop, punk, rock, COUNTRY, fucking everything all melded together. It was so fucking good. I’ve been searching for an album like this that just blends everything just right it’s so good. Also the aesthetics r insane. The aesthetics really just fit so much of what I enjoy. Love love love this underscores album and even tho I was already a fan from past music I’m a massive fan now Also hi daisy!

Great I finally found someone reacting to this album. Lets gooo

underscores is so so underrated

idk how tf you got into my recommended, but this made my day. I've been a huge fan of underscores for a while now, and I love that this album is getting so much media attention.

I'm absolutely in love with the lyrics on these songs I agree with them being all silly at times and I love that but then she just hits so hard with all this meaning and purpose I don't know what to do with myself (hi daisy)

This album is for sure my album of the year and while writing this I have listened to the album over 200 times (trying to get it into my spotify wrapped) If I had to pick a favorite song it would have to be between Locals and You don't even know who I am, but Horror movie soundtrack is starting to win me over. My least favorite is probably Seventyseven dog years just because of how lore-heavy the song is and if you don't get the concept of the album the lyrics don't make as much sense. But overall this is one of my favorite albums ever so thank you for spreading the word and reacting to this album!

Imo my fav has gotta be Geez louise. For starters, I’m a HUGE fan of longer songs in albums where most of the songs are pretty short (and just long songs in general), so I took an interest even before listening. Secondly, I’m a huge fan of the production quality on this one. While it’s not the absolute best of the album (Shoot to kill, kill your darlings imo takes the cake for that), it’s really something to just marvel at especially when listening to the instrumental. And finally, I just love how many turns and switches it takes throughout the song, because it keeps it much more interesting than just 7 minutes of the aggressive electro-punk stuff of whatever it was at the beginning, so bonus points for making it worth listening the full way through. I adore the fact that underscores is able to not only conceive of making something like this (she did enter production on the song knowing what it was gonna be like), but also make it work and flow so well together despite it seeming like 3 different songs in one. One of my favorite songs probably ever. In terms of my LEAST favorite, I’d say either You don’t even know who I am or Seventyseven dog years, because as you said at some point in the video (I forgot lmao), some of the songs could definitely be cut short a bit. While it’s hard to pick least favorites because each of the songs has something special and unique to each of them, those two are the ones that stick out to me the most, if at all. Overall, one of my top 3 albums of 2023, would recommend.

hi daisy!!

So You don’t Even Know Who I Am can be interpreted as a trans allegory, it can be read like their trans self talking to themselves before realizing they are trans. At least that’s how I read it.

I know you mentioned youre gonna listen to Jane's new album... which im hyped for, but just curious, have you listened to her first album Frailty?? it is one of the best things to come out of the hyperpop scene probably ever... and if you havent listened to it in full front to back, i would highly reccomend you do. it is an experience. Especially if you were a fan of IDMTHY... theyre kinda in similar categories of just insane sounding music.

hi daisy :3

a deluxe for this album just got released!! would love if u revisited it :)

Hi Daisy

9:20 yeah hi daisy

hi daisy

Hey Daisy :3

You dont even know who I am😶👍

What's good daisy

You dont even know who i am, I believe is about her trans journey, her not knowing her new self.
