weeping to IN THE END IT ALWAYS DOES by the japanese house *Album Reaction & Review* 

LET'S GOOOO one of my favorite albums of 2023. Touching Yourself was one of my most-listened to songs of the year, and "I miss my dog and I miss falling in love, I miss the feeling that you get when someone fits just like a glove" is one of my favorite lyrics ever written.

Amber's EPs are really good too - "Saw You in a Dream" might be my favorite song

1:14 Spot Dog 3:59 Touching Yourself 6:30 Sad to Breathe 8:55 Over There 12:17 Morning Pages 14:32 Boyhood (best song ever to exist) 17:05 Indexical Reminder of a Morning Well Spent 20:11 Friends 22:07 Sunshine Baby (everyone's treasure) 24:44 Baby Goes Again 26:42 You Always Get What You Want 28:41 One for Sorrow, Two for Joni Jones ❤❤

MUNA assisted on the production of this album! Definitely noticeable! It’s one of my absolute favs from the past year.

Sunshine Baby and Boyhood were probably my two favourite songs released last year

george daniel we love you legend

fun lil fact: one for sorrow was a poem Amber wrote peak-breakup and at her darkest, she then brought it into the writing session and had Katie from Muna do the melody part and help her figure that out - this melody then took Amber several tries to do and the take used was two stitched together… pretty incredible stuff!

This album has been in my ribs since I first heard it I carry it everywhere, and your videos are stimulating, appreciative, and alive spaces, I cannot tell you how much I fizzed when I saw you listened to this album, because I wouldn’t expect you to. This album is so personal to me in a way that I rarely feel so strongly with a whole album, I feel it so thoroughly in my body. It’s such a joy and replenishing catharsis to watch you feel deeply and move through the feelings that grow through your body and mind to feel. It helps me sit in that feeling without going through it intensely for when I’m too tired/numb/understimulated to focus on just the music, or when I want to join in and have comedy sprinkled around.

listening to sunshine baby while driving one of the firsts sunny days of spring is an experience i totally recommend

Troy I highly recommend The Last Dinner Party's debut album it's so good!!

YASSS! Please do the other albums!!! We love you AMBER!!!

the way i begged for months for you to listen to this man… i knew you would eat it up 😭😭 THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO BEGGED ON STREAM WITH ME 😭😭

Troy you really need to listen to Mitski's 2023 album, it's just AMAZING

You have quickly become one of my favorite creators. Thanks bro

KNEW YOUD LOVE MATTYS CAMEO

When troy posts, its a good day

I was waiting for this reaction so badly! 😍

oh i’ve been WAITING FOR THIS ONE

You made me fall in love with this album all over again 🥲

Thank you so much!!! This album is incredible and I started listening to it off your 10 best of the year recs!

So so so happy to see you giving this album a shot!

I’m glad you’re reacting to albums which aren’t hugely popular. The production on this album is great. My faves are Touching Yourself, Over There & Sunshine Baby

FINALLY i’ve been waiting for this since the top albums of 2023 video

Can we get a reaction to the new The Last Dinner Party album, “Prelude to Ecstasy”?

Finaly!! Been waiting for your reaction to ITEIAD for sooooo long omg

Yes yes yesss I’ve been waiting for you to discover The Japanese House! Their album “Good at Falling” is also VERY good. The production is so interesting and immaculate 👌

THIS ALBUM CHANGED ME FOREVER, and i listened to it only cause it was really high up in your aoty list back in december. i loved this video so so much

I am so excited! I love this album!

You’re the best man

The way that the intro of "Over There" was sampled in Travis Scott's HUGE song "MY EYES" and it's so still underrated

I been waiting for this one

I really recommend giving the tape notes podcast of this album a listen/watch :) They talk about how it was making/writing/producing this album and it was so beautiful to listen to

YES YES YES YES FINALLY YOU REACTED TO THIS ALBUM

omg i've been such a fan of this channel for forever!! troy, if you're looking for album recs, listen to "fuzzy brain" by dayglow (think a more indie version is harry's house), or listen to any of the lumineers' albums (west coast version of noah kahan) :) have a good day!

I'm glad you are reviewing this one!

I’m pretty sure “Over There” was a collaboration with Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver

Omg! I remember being so pleasantly surprised when this album popped up in your best of 2023 video but I didn't think there would be a reax video for the album, this was great! ITEIAD was also one of my 2023 favs. In fact it still is one of my favs, I was listening to it on my commute today, I'm kind of obsessed haha. Thanks for the vid and sorry that Joni Jones got you so good, it still gets me good. 🐶❤

This reaction literally made my week :)

Was not expecting this recation!!! Seene them Twice live and they are Amazing!! Amber is just as insane live!! 😢❤

Always love ur reactions! And i finally decided to comment on here lol because im surprised you havent reacted to alexander 23 Maybe you can check out his aftershock album or his newest song! Very good songwriter and producer who has also worked with some pretty cool people like Jeremy Zucker, Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez and more so yeah :D

I discovered this album a month before ending a 5 year relationship and it’s wild how personal this album feels. I love it so much even though it makes me cry most of the time. Lol

YESSSS!!! I'm so glad I went to her concert in Toronto :) MY FAV ARTIST EVERRR

MY FAV BAND LETS GOOOOOOOO

manionz 2 came out back in october and i totally think you should do a video on it! i remember you reacting to the first album and i would love to see what you think about manionz2

My favorite album of 2023, even got the cover art tattooed. It's just SO good. And this review is *chef's kiss*

Beautiful

you NEEEEED to do an album reaction to clairo's album immunity it literally comes in second for my favourite album after this one

Okay, we have a top tier reactor FINALLY reacting to my favorite artist of all time. Liked, subscribed, watching over and over. Thank you sir.

one of my fave albums of 2023!

i saw her live in november and sobbed in the crowd when joni jones played🥹🥹🥹

the way my wrapped for last year was Sunshine Baby and Touching Yourself didn't even phase me. they're just SO good.

Troy! Please please please do Last Summer by Mikey Rose and the Flower People. Pretty underground but genuinely the greatest album I’ve heard

you need to listen to her debut album 'good at falling' as well, so good

PLEASE DO SLEEP TOKEN NEXT. ANY ALBUM. PLEASE I LOVE YOUR COMMENTARY AND THEYRE SO EXTRAORDINARY AND GENREBENDING. You’ll never hear anything like it. Love you dude

i was lucky enough to see this in concert (their first US show for this album) and it was so magical and warm, loved it

Another album you may have missed from last year that also have a track remix with muna is Holly Humberstone - Paint My Bedroom Black !!

@HTHAZE chloe kraemer also produced ITEIAD, which is where a lot of the strings/violin influence comes in. this album means so much to me and i loved watching your reactions!! the tape notes podcast (some of which is available on youtube but all of which is available on apple music) goes into amber's process with george and chloe. if you have time it's definitely worth watching/listening to!!

one of my favorite albums of last year! would love to see a reaction to gus dappertons “henge” album

oooooh hell yeeeah!

This is everything that I want from someone I’m sharing my favorite album with. It felt like I was watching a friend react, and it made my heart soar

LMAO THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH 😂

I saw the Japanese house last year and amber made sooooo much eye contact and life hasn’t been the same since

You're a legend ahhahaha Imao

You should definitely check out How To Let Go by Sigrid, it's a great album

YESSSSSSSS

please please please listen to prelude to ecstasy by the last dinner party, it’s so good and their sound is pretty unique, i think you’d really enjoy it!! love your videos btw❤️

YOU SHOULD ALSO TRY NIKI'S SONGS, THEY ARE SO GOOOOOOD!

good at falling is in my top 3 favorite albums and its also by amber I AM BEGGING THAT YOU PLS LISTEN TO IT

best artist ever

I've really wanted you to react to Marianas Trench!!! I'd love you to start with the song Who Do You Love and then the whole album of Astoria. You're reaction and commentary is needed in my life!!!!!!

you really need to do the last dinner party’s new album

THIS ALBUM IS SOOOO GOOOOOD

Hoping for a Melanie Martinez deep dive and eventual Portals revist. I really wanna see you start the Crybaby journey with the first album and yes, get into the deluxe tracks too. 👀

I saw her live and it was the best show ever

Please listen to Relient K 'Forget and not slow down' that album is an amazing piano rock punk ballad album, I transend everytime I hear it!

The Band Camino might be a fun discovery for you! Also, Maisie Peters!

i have no clue if you've listened to good at falling (her first full length lp) but you definitely should!!! its a classic

Madison’s Beer album Silence Between Songs was really good. Sonically it took a different direction from most of herself but I feel that it really paid off and elevated the vulnerability she expressed. I think it would be really cool if you wanted to check it out :)

hey troy, can you react to Be The cowboy by mitski? its an 2018 album but in my opinion is one of the most chilling that she has, i would love to see what you think of it :pb
