Try the band Mr Bungle
@@MrGmonkeywillruleyou Nice try, no comparison.
@@Barefoot433 didn’t say there was. He’s never heard them and it’d be interesting to hear lol. Any of their songs cause they’re so different
They did the song live, 5 band members. One of the most amazing things I've seen. At one point you see the audience members and I wish I'd been there. I'd have looked as gobsmacked as they did.
ua-cam.com/video/NzPtr_n-m8A/v-deo.html
Well done, man. Well done. Listen to the whole album. You’ll thank me later.
You need to listen to the whole album start to finish, it’s an experience.
I listened to it once in the car with my husband and we were chatting etc. and neither of us liked it. Fast forward several years later and I decided to just give it a concentrated listen on headphones and was blown away. I made him do the same and he had the same experience.
OKC is a great experience, yes, but the songs are fine on their own lol.
And a masterpiece!
Exactly!
@@stephanieo2509 I have had similar experiences with some music. My theory is it sits in your subconscious and then when you come back to it the unfamiliarity is gone.
That perpetual motion thing moving behind the record artwork is kind of perfect
It keeps time almost perfectly
Just think about it, you’ve never heard anything like this before…and this came out in 1997. That’s just how far ahead of their time they were with this brilliant album.
Have you ever listened to Siamese Dream?
@@benhenschel145 Yes, another brilliant album imho
@@JeffC26131 Ever hear Scenery & Fish?
@@benhenschel145 lol! Billy's a phony
@@theshizzz someone called theshizzz would say that.
Radiohead is hands down my favorite band. I agree about first listens - sometimes it takes several listens to fully appreciate a song
I probably have more hours logged with them than any other band
When I first heard The Bends I wasn’t sure what tf was going on. Now I consider it one of the best albums ever made.
Amazing creative Era wasn’t it. Miss those raw talented days
I remember buying the album at that time, because it was celebrated in various music magazines and after the first listen I just thought "What is this for a groat?" About a year later I heard the album again, and, well, not so bad. I liked one or two songs. Heard the album again, and again. At some point it "clicked". Today, many years later, Radiohead is for me possibly the most style-defining and interesting band since Pink Floyd, even since the Beatles!
Yep this album came out when I was a teen, at the time had a multi cd stereo and it lived in the thing so permenantly I thought I lost it when I moved out.
My parents, when they decided to throw the stereo out 4 years ago, found the cd still in there.
Was so happy to get it back (even if I had bought a replacement in the mean time).
This is one of the masterpiece albums. I'd suggest listening to all of it at some point. "Let Down" is my favorite song from Ok Computer, but it took my entire life to get there.
I'm torn between "Let Down" and "Karma Police"; it's just so hard to pick on over the other.
Subterranean homesick alien is my personal favourite, and it also took me a few hundred listens 😅.
Exactly its one of those concept albums meant to be listened to from beginning to end.
Loooooove “Let Down”
OK Computer is on my top ten must have if I were stranded on a deserted island albums. It's that we'll conceptualized.
Radiohead is a self-contained genre.
Wait, this is so incredibly true!
Best description of Radiohead… ever
Fact.
Beatles
literallyyyy when people ask me what music genre im into and im like "*snaps finger* radiohead."
Thom Yorke matured as a songwriter in front of the world. Pablo Honey and Kid A, his first and fourth studio albums, are so vastly different they don't sound like the same person wrote them.
Yep, and that was their intent. Successfully executed.
@ISeeGhosts001 not True. You can hear the development through the albums. With The Bends it wasn't the chords which suggested progression, rather the supplementary sounds and the arrangements of the songs. With OK Computer Tom Yorke's melodic footprint is there, just that the starting point has changed. The chords are more complex and the soundscape, bass and percussion, and production are just more complex, well thought of and interesting in their own right.
@@robmaddison8645 I'm assuming the "not True" is for someone else? I was talking about jumping from 1 to 4 without hearing all the progression in the middle.
@@SPGhettus it was responding to ISeeGhosts001
Jonny too
Radiohead songs are never immediate, just about every single thing they do requires a few listens to unlock, but when you do, you will have a song that 'lasts' the rest of your life, no throwaway shit here, no pop songs, no radio-friendly unit shifters that you get sick of after about 10 listens never to return to it.
If a Radiohead song hits you and sticks, you will never tire of it, no matter how many times you hear it, for me that means they are writing timeless, intelligent music that will stand the test of time.
very well said my friend!!
Bang on the money. Every single Radiohead album led me through the same path: "Oh no, I hate it, they finally came unstuck". Hmm, actually on second listen there's a few bits I quite like....until a few days later...I'm in love again.
Well said!
Agreed. The first time I listened to 'Kid A' I wasn't sure what to think because It was so out there. Now I dig it, of course.
Couldn’t have explained it better. Some of my other “timeless” likes… Dream Theater, The Cure, Mutemath, Our Lady Peace, Duran Duran. I have 526 artists in my library, but only about 50 are worth really having.
I found this song the day my father died I feel like it was his last gift because I devoted the last few months learning this song on basically any instrument I could get my hands on. I wish I could show my dad all the hard work
God bless you brother.
Just sending you some love.
Thats hard brother keep on strong✊🏽
Your Dad will already know. When you next play it just say, "If you are tuned in Dad, this is for you, then just trust he's listening. xx
I’m sure he would be unbelievably proud of you
So I have Paranoid Android as my alarm. Because I think it's funny to be woken by "Please can you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest". It's a nice touch of humor to start the day 😄
This album is in my top 10 greatest of all time. I remember getting this album in 97, and having my 14 year old mind absolutely blown. It still blows my mind when I listen to it. I don't think anyone had heard anything quite like this album at the time. There is a galactic theme that spans the whole album and it's perfection. In my opinion, OK Computer and In Rainbows are the best of Radiohead. I really love some of their really early stuff too. It's very different, but at times you can hear hints of what's to come on future albums.
Yuuup.. also Portishead Dummy around the same time. Mind. Blown. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@TheBeezusjones .. Portishead and Radiohead.
The Brits were on fire at that time 🤍
OK computer is one of those albums that you listen to from the beginning and your cinematic reference holds as listening to it linearly builds like a good movie. One of the best albums of all time.
Paranoid Android (and pretty much all Radiohead) gets better and better on repeat listens. So rewarding over time!
I laughed when you said, "I really haven't been able to pin down Radiohead's signature sound." before playing the one song of theirs that changes signatures numerous times throughout the song. I've always thought of Paranoid Android as Radiohead's Bohemian Rhapsody. That breakdown at 6:29 sends me straight to my happy place every single time. I envy you for hearing these songs for the first time.
'Paranoid Android as Radiohead's Bohemian Rhapsody' very well put
That is funny how you say this belongs in cinema. They were asked to write the closing credits for 1996 Romeo and Juliet. They came up with one of my fav songs of theirs, Exit Music (For a Film), hence the name. I believe you would enjoy it quite a bit :)
My favourite track that they wrote for a film is their inexplicably rejected Bond theme for Spectre. Talk about a masterpiece. 🤯
@@SierraHurtt The song Spectre wasn't actually written for the film, it already existed. which is why it was not chosen to be used. It would have been ineligible for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. So we ended up with that Sam Smith shite instead. Then followed up by Billie Elish, two really lousy songs in a row :(
I love Talk Show Host, that was on R&J as well! ❤
This song actually was used is as the ending theme to the anime Ergo Proxy. So while it's not cinema and obviously it wasn't written for the show as it came out nearly a decade after the song, it still counts and just shows the reach that Radiohead has. It's also a good indicator of the tone of the show.
@@SkarrGaming This isn’t exactly what happened. They originally submitted Man of War, which wouldn’t have been eligible for the Oscar. It is then that they made Spectre, but by then the Bond people had already settled for Sam Smith’s song
PA after almost 30 years STILL doesn’t sound like anything anyone has ever written or played before or since. It still sounds like the future of music. Truly one of the most astonishing pieces of art I’ve ever encountered and I love everything about it.
just say paranoid android bruh
@@fuzzyfreakz Sorry you weren’t able to crack the code, my bad.
Longtime Radiohead fan. They make beautiful music. Yes… ‘beautiful’ is the word I find myself using, rather than great. Such melody and so different. Their work requires multiple takes to really appreciate.
That is how I describe them as well I truly think 40 years from now there will be groups of music fans who will still love their music.
Totally agree ❤
I heard Street Spirit (fade out) when I was about 11 and fell in love instantly. I scraped my pocket money together to buy the single cd and put in on repeat. Then OK Computer came about, which I got from my 15th birthday money and left in on repeat for months after that. I still have and treasure both at 40 years old. Very very special stuff.
and you got Talk Show Host as the b-side!
The bends was released in 95
Ok computer 97 😅
@@boobjobs4392 Yeah and 40-15=25, OKC came out 25 years ago
This song and album was revolutionary with the mix of guitar elements with electronic/synth effects. Not just having guitars and synths, but making those sounds interlocked and indistinguishable. Also Gregorian chant influences, electronica, folk, etc. These eclectic influences never really brought together in this way before. I remember people calling album the Sgt. Pepper's of the 90s (referring to The Beatles experimental groundbreaking album from 1967).
All those things had already been done with all forms of prog. I'd put this down as their Dark Side of the Moon rather than Sgt Pepper.
@@tonycowin Agreed partially. Prog didn't have an electronica influence as it preceded that genre (unless you count Kraftwerk as prog, but they were only proto-electronica). DSOTM isn't a bad comparison. But the Sgt Peppers comparison was popular in the 90s, made by critics and fans. You'd have to argue with a large chunk of people in the past on that one.
"Paranoid Android" has been referred to as the "Stairway to Heaven" of the 90s: the epic anthem of a generation. It got crazy play back in '97 and the entire album _OK Computer_ is one of the best albums of the century, not just the '90s.
Stairway, Bohemian Rhapsody and Paranoid Android all feel so similar but just in different eras
@@seanpease370
Stairway to Heaven, Jesus of Suburbia, Paranoid Android and Bohemian Rhapsody all do one thing really well- one song split into multiple distinct parts that come together to form something amazing
I felt like an android when this track came out. I was living in Tokyo as an American. I was out of context. This album accompanied me on many adventures through a city that was foreign to this driven and ambitious human. This album is sonically brilliant and hold a very special place in my heart. For the ending of the track, you need to realize that it was never meant to be a single. It's part of a work of art.
I got into Radiohead I was over in the desert during operation, enduring freedom and I went and bought every single Radiohead CD either domestic or foreign copies. Everybody that has listen to my radio head are now fans.
They debuted this song on Jools Holland's Later show. The recording is on UA-cam. When they finished there was a pause before the audience start applauding. Astonishment. RAdiohead aren't an "instant" band, it definitely takes a few listens.
I hope you listen to the entire album. In 1997 I bought the CD, put on a pair of headphones and it changed my life as a 90s aspiring musician. The way they nailed the intersection between sci-fi and dystopian paranoia was unlike anything at the time
Radiohead can be an aquired taste, but once you get the groove they're Great!
This is their best song IMO. The break down is my favorite part of anything ive heard from them
The live performance of this song takes the appreciation to several higher levels. Live version...you'll fall in Love with this!!!❤
It's best to get into Radiohead by listening to their discography chronologically, to hear their evolution from standard Indie/alternative band to where they are now. They're just one of those groups. So many people throw reactors straight in the deep end with this song or something off of KID A and expect them to like it as much as they do.
Took me a few listens to get used to this whole album and I LOVED Radiohead going into it's release. It was just so different. It started to grow on me while I WASN'T listening - I'd think of one of the melodies and pop the CD back in. For the last 24 years I've found new ways to appreciate it - one of my favorite albums. "Let Down" seems to be the "popular" song from "OK Computer." Keep up the great work, POLO!
That thing in the background is messing with my head.
Also, Radiohead is one of the better compositional matrix's on earth.
For non-UK listeners, when he says "rain down from a great height" he is referenceing a common old English phrase "If you don't do X, I will shit upon you from a great height"
I'm sure lots of people have or will make the same recommendation, but Radiohead did a live version of this track on a UK show called Later, with Jools Holland. It's incredible
This album is like The Wall.
Must listen to this album start to finish
I listen to it synced up with "The Wiz" (the wizard of oz remake)
It's not like The Wall in the sense that The Wall is sh*t and Ok Computer isn't, & you're very welcome
@@andrewgreen5892 ok. Where Radiohead made a couple good albums and the rest is shit. Pink Floyd made a couple shit albums and the rest are great. I'm sure when you grow up a bit you will understand. Your welcome and have a good day.
@@andrewgreen5892how dare you call The Wall shit😢 it's one of pink floyd's best albums...
This album must be listened to in one sitting. Like Darkside of the moon, it is meant to speak to you.
I listened to this album on my Walkman over and over and over for a few years and I believe it messed me up.
Based on your normal music preferences you should try Radiohead - Iron lung!
Or The Bends
Or anything from the album.
Lots of great Radiohead songs to work through. Hope you do atleast one a week. Maybe Street Spirit (Fade Out) next?
Guess I missed the other reactions on Radiohead... Don't know if Polo has reacted to Fade Out (Street Spirit) yet, but that one is awesome. I've yet to see a man be able to sing so high, for so long and that beautifully. Tom Yorke vocals are unique (so is the band in general).
Radiohead is definitely like Pink Floyd. It's multiple listens in different moods and then it just clicks. Weird Fishes is my absolute favorite song of all time. Everything about that song is perfection.
I totally agree with the Pink Floyd aspect. I always thought there were similarities in their way of composing and exploring music, mainly in OK Computer and Floyd's albums from the 70's. Every time I hear the drums opening on Climbing Up The Wall, I can't help myself having Nick Mason in mind. 😅
people discussing radiohead music/issues is the best thing on the whole internet😊
I’m not a hardcore Radiohead fan, i like them a lot, but I’ve never been a passionate fan…..but I honestly think this is the greatest song of all time.
Same!
Yes! Happy ToolsDay. A Radiohead | Tool tour would be a festival on its own.
Edit: Buy a drum kit Polo! You already recognize the time signatures.
Please
I remember hearing this song and loving it. Then I saw the video and was like wtf 😅😅 I dig it even more
This album, cover to cover, is one of my favorites. Believe me, some Radiohead you have to really be into that specific vibe (Kid A for example is a lot of people's favorite but it isn't really my thing for the most part), but I feel like this album was still pretty accessible for most people to listen.
Airbag, Karma Police, Electioneering are all great tracks from this album. Actually I might give it a listen today, it's been a while since I had a full sit down with it.
Almost whole thing is awesome. All those are great and then there’s no surprises and exit music too. Electioneering rocks
OK Computer is such a great album...so many great songs. The first time I heard 'Subterranean Homesick Alien' it really blew me away because of its sonic texture and dreaminess.
Like Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, this one’s best digested and understood if listened to from track 1 to the very end.
Truly enjoy your channel.
The best way to listen to Radiohead is over and over again.
Surely a progressive masterpiece. This song and the whole album.
They are a fkn great band tbh! Not my favorite, but definitely within the favorite ones! In Rainbows still the best album they ever released imo!
Ok Computer is possibly one of the greatest albums of all time. Definitely my #1 choice. It's a modern masterpiece, sonically and lyrically.
Just about every album they put put they drastically change their whole vibe, it's truly amazing how hard they push the boundaries of music every time.
I'm so happy you're listening and enjoying it, regardless if you continue to make videos about them I hope you have fun with it!
Love the video, your vibes are so chill and wonderful, I genuinely hope you have an amazing day❤
“IDK what it is….. but I like it.” Best quote ever. 🎉
One of my all time favorite bands. They evolve and experiment more from album to album than anyone I have ever heard.
Radiohead is so timeless to me. I am so happy you are exploring their music. "Present Tense" and "Daydreaming" are BOTH a must listen:)))
YES! You've listed to all 3 of my fave bands now, Pink Floyd, Radiohead & Nine Inch Nails...
... Don't know how I missed the 1st Radiohead song. I just checked out & came back to this one
Pretty close to my list as well add the Beatles, Yes and Rush and there you go thanks to these reaction channels I am becoming a closet Tool fan.
It's really cool to see people fully bought in before the song even really takes off. You love it and I know what's coming. ;0
Some additional stellar Radiohead tracks: High and Dry, Nice Dream, Just, My Iron Lung... These are all from Radiohead's second album, The Bends, which is near perfect from start to finish.
Yes yes yes!! Me too!!
yeah came here to say the same
Try "How to Disappear Completely" and check out the story behind the song. Beautiful track.
First time I heard this was in a bar with a group of friends and fellow music nuts on the day of release. We went there specifically because we knew the DJ would have bought the single and play it that night. The whole bar sat in silence for the entirety of the song, and even a few seconds after. It was a really profound shared experience, especially back in the the pre-internet days.
no need to wear Hippie clothing and Smoke Weed to enjoy Radiohead
I disagree. Respectfully. I’ve been known to have hippie like tendencies. I smoke a lot of weed. Have for 30+ years. I would agree with you had you said Phish, DMB, The Dead, even Sublime or Widespread Panic. This is more what I would say is Hipster or protohipster. Just my opinion.
@@thomperkinsStay lifted brother!
Agreed. Tho in all honesty the taking of magic mushrooms or DMT... even just basic weed...takes this song to a complete other level. I can only wish people heard this while under the influence... the beauty and genius of Radiohead seriously comes thru while visiting other planes of existence. It's an honour to discover Thom Yorke while displaced from current reality and the pressure's of every day life... spiritual beyond words. X
@@JacobG093 I wanna talk to Samson!
@@manna6618 Well put. The first time I heard Street Spirit was during an MDMA roll. As someone who has dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts off and on, it blew my mind. Radiohead sober or under the influence is life changing imo.
You have to hear Radiohead’s performance of the In Rainbows album at “From the Basement”. Its professionally shot and recorded live and it’s absolutely masterful.
Please react to Reckoner or Weird Fishes from the basement both amazing performances especially watching them pull these intricate songs off live flawlessly. Radiohead almost always takes multiple listens to digest but when you have your cathartic moment you will probably be a fan for life.
There isn’t anything like Radiohead. They are and always will be the greatest
I know you are going to enjoy this band POLO. Can't wait for you to see a live vid.
Radiohead is EPIC.
One of my favorite bands EVER. Makes my top 5.
Stupendous LIVE! 🎯🤘
One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen was Radiohead when they were touring Kid A. Outdoor concert, late summer, under a clear sky with a full moon.
@@Is.this.thing.on-
Yeah Tool, Radiohead & Silverchair are in my top 5 favorite bands. All three are SUPER tight LIVE, too. They never miss. And they happen to be 3 of the most unique bands ever. In a class of their own, respectively. True artistes... Nobody quite like any of them. Creative geniuses. Thom has such a haunting voice... transports me to a time long since passed. Good Times & memories indeed.
😜🤘
Super refreshing to hear someone say “I could not possibly absorb that song on the first listen”. No idea how you guys react to new music and have any other reaction.
Respect.
I felt similar the first time I heard it, but now I love the song, precisely because of its breaks. Maybe that's because I listen to Radiohead a lot these days, precisely because their music has changed so much over the course of their career. They are all great musicians
Radiohead are just incredible There's a lot to process with this song the first time you hear it. They are nothing like Tool at all musically. I'm a huge fan of both bands though. The whole "Ok Computer" album is just superb. It's Radiohead's equivalent of Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".
Welcome to the world of Radiohead!!.. "Let Down".. "There There".. "My Iron Lung".. you will learn to love this tune!!!!!!! cheers brutha
I've been watching and loving all your Tool reactions. Radiohead is god-tier in a completely different way. What they both have in common is that you can basically pick any album and the entire thing is going to be great. Looking forward to seeing you go through this journey.
OK Computer was one of the few albums I’ve heard that grabbed me immediately from the first listen. I’m glad you enjoyed the song, and I hope you keep coming back to this one to hear additional layers on each listen.
Get really familiar with this and you have one of the greatest playgrounds in modern music available - the more I hear it the more I discover and see pure genius in every note and part!
The video makes this song even more compelling.
And they do it live, as good as this studio version! incredible band!
If you vibe with this... the rabbit hole is deep... so much good music!
OK computer was epic. Love this song.
Love Radiohead. For me, the sounds they were starting to explore here came together in the Kid A album. That album was so innovative when it dropped. Check out The National Anthem, Everything in its Right Place , Kid A, Optimistic, or Morning Bell. There are some great live versions too. It's fun to see how they play some of that stuff.
Kid A didn't cut it for me as much as Massive Attack's Messanine. I much prefer The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows
I remember owning an Accord in 1997, with a discman plugged into the cassette player via adaptor. I had two death metal CDs, and this one, which I couldn't stop listening to. So much depth, thought, creativity and freedom in every track. This entire album is something special.
This was one of the formative albums of my formative years... I feel eternally blessed to have grown up in the nineties, surrounded by such wonderful music.
These days, it's so much harder to find the gems in among all the trash, there's so much throwaway formulaic 'nothing music' everywhere now.
This whole album was amazing from start to finish
its ironic having the perpetual motion sculpture in the background, just like Radiohead you have so many angles moving and coming together forming a cohesive line. a very special band.
This is the first time I've seen a video of yours, but I like your vibe and how, even though you're not yet convinced, you're open to strange new sounds and you have the insight that it might just require another or few more listens. Great video!
I don't know if you have a specific type of music you do for these videos, but I NEED people to react to Tamino more so I'm just gonna drop his name in here real quick if you're interested 😁 He's an artist from Belgium that takes inspiration from his Egyptian roots for his sound. Try either "Habibi" or "Indigo Nights" if you're up for it!
I was a teen when this album came out. Went to the concert on this tour. One of the best sounding bands live, and I’ve been to more than 150 shows.
I’ve always listened to everything so watching you experience these songs is very satisfying lol
Polo, let me steer you to these 3 personal Radiohead Classics
-Packt like sardines in a crushd Tin box
-exit music (for a film)
-where I end and you begin
I can vouch for "End Music (For a Film)". The others are a little more avant-garde; not entry-level.
They have an amazing guitarist!
"Just" by Radiohead is one of my all time favorite songs.
Oh my, just scratching the surface of the incredible breadth of what they do. Buckle up!
Radiohead are phenomenal. A very deep rabbit hole to explore and experience. Enjoy!
Speaking of music in cinema.. Exit music (for a film) is litterally the music used as the credits roll for Romeo and Juliet {the one by Baz Lurhman}
The evolution of Radiohead's sound, their ability to play such a wide range of styles, and their creativity and drive to experiment, is next level, the only bands I can think of that even come close, are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane, but that one's debatable, since they kept reforming under different names and I'm unsure how many of the original band members made it through to Starship, which I'm fairly certain was the last iteration of the band. That and they went from the trippy, timeless, White Rabbit, to 80's adult contemporary, soft rock, so while it is indeed a dramatic change, I doubt anyone would say it was for the better.
While I certainly hope for more Radiohead reactions, I can't wait to see you react to some Portishead, they did an amazing concert in Roseland NYC, where they had a full philharmonic accompanying them. I would recommend the entire concert, but a few highlights are, Roads, Glory Box, Sour Times and Only You. Also, their studio tracks, Humming and Western Eyes, shouldn't be missed.
The whole album’s an experience ma Bro. Love ur work x
Came hear for the Radiohead reaction. Stayed for the wiggling sticks in the back.
You could play any track from this album and be amazed. When OK Computer came out, it blew me away with the sheer creativity. I was already a fan of Pablo Honey and The Bends (both amazing albums in their own right) but this one hit a chord with me. So many amazing tracks. You should listen to the whole thing, start to finish.
Banger!!!
Even radiohead fans have a hard time with some of their songs, they are definitely not an easy listen. Thoms voice is just so unusual and captivating I put him in the same category as maynard. Radiohead started out as a straight rock band but has evolved so much they are almost unrecognizable except for that voice. The fact that fans have stuck with them through all of the changes shows how good they are.
OK Computer goes on every phone I buy. I love listening to it from beginning to end and boy is it an experience! I never get sick of this album.
The record company came to my record store and played this video for me a month before release. Omg, never heard anything like it before, blew all of us away
The Beatles, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead. Upper echelon
So glad you're exploring RadioHead. enjoy the ride.
This is in my opinion top10 of all songs of all time.
I appreciate your reactions man, glad you checked Radiohead, now you're down the rabbit hole (and I'm right because I saw later videos of you reacting to them, I can see they got under your skin).
Now, don't know if you checked Karma Police from them yet, but that would be a good reaction, check the official clip.
Again, I really appreciate you and your videos, I thank you for the entertainment and the revisit of some songs that I had not listened for years (not including radiohead as I listen to all their albums regularly), I wish you the best for the future and if I figure out the whole patreon thing, I would definitely be interested into your channel.
Anyway, peace, hug the people you love and continue your thing, I'll be watching.
The Nightmare Before Christmas reference was spot on. I’ve never thought about it like that. The album came out when I was a sophomore in high school, and it changed the way I looked at music
