I reccomend his album from this year "After the Magic" great album with unique atmosphere and also Live album "After the Night" with some of the best live performances i've heard in a long time like Into an Endless Night - incredible stuff, I think you've should check it out if you liked that one, great reaction as always cheers!!

For that last song, Parannoul himself said that it could be interpreted in 2 ways. Either as a good ending (The narrator turning their life around for the better and moving on) or a bad ending (The narrator comitting suicide). It's really up to the listener as to how the album ends. I'd defo reccomend checking out After The Magic, which is the album he released after this album. The lyrics are a lot more uplifting than on To See The Next Part Of The Dream and overall I'd say it goes for a more eclectic and slightly artsier sound if that intrests you.
There are a lot of references to the movie "All about Lily Chou Chou" in this album, starting with the cover and ending with the text. Self-titled song is related to one of the characters in the film - Hoshino, whose nickname on social networks was the Blue Cat I'm very glad that u listened to this album, ur reactions are my favorite so far. Keep going!
the title track's meaning has to do with his first album "Let's Walk on the Path of a Blue Cat" in which a blue cat visits him in a dream. So this track is To See the Next Part of the Dream (the next part of the dream in the first album) That 1st album is all instrumental though, so if you want to keep reacting to him I recommend After the Magic (3rd album) (and the best album of all time)
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SHOEGAZE/EMO ALBUM. ONE OF MY TOP 5 OF ALL TIME. I LOVE THIS ALBUM. ITS THE PERFECT TEENAGE ANGST ALBUM ABOUT BEING A PATHETIC LOSER. I'd recommend the EP "WEATHERGLOW" next! its a great and short 25~ minute minialbum made in collaboration by weatherday and asian glow (another korean diy emo artist that has also worked with parannoul). Its not long but all the tracks are amazing, i really encourage you to put it on your list to react to eventually!
also Parannouls album that came out this year "After the magic" strips back a lot of the noisy elements and is at times a full blown Art rock/Dream pop album, i also recomend that, its REALLY beautiful
12:05 Im so happy you copped how connected Analog Sentimentalism and White Ceiling were lmao I took me a whilr but when I did get it it just hit me bro. Really love your reactions and how detailed you are and your more chill vibe subbing for that
I was obsessed with this album when it came out. Shit is amazing Also here r sum recs Title Fight - Floral Green Alex G - DSU Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill Cap’n Jazz - Analphabetapothology Circa Survive - Juturna Also, do you plan on ever doing streams?
I’ve listened to this album like a million times and for some reason I never thought to check out the lyrics (I think I’m used to shoegaze lyrics not really mattering that much lol), but after watching this video I cannot believe how sad they are omfg. Luckily it seems like Parannoul is in a MUCH better place now, they’ve collaborated with a lot of other artists (originally after this album came out they were very insecure about their music) and their latest album After the Magic comes off as a lot more optimistic (btw please listen to that album next it’s like, the best)
finallyy been waiting for this reaction forever literally one of my favorite albums of all time and white ceiling is one of my fav songs of all time such good replay value fr!
i thought parannoul was a band the first time i heard this album but the fact that it's just one dude and everything was done on a computer is insane. really hoping you check out after the magic at some point, parannoul's growth as an artist (and as a person) on that album is very moving
If ur liking this newer shoegaze sound then you GOTTA listen to the new Jane Remover album. it’s so unbelievably slept on, unique, & one of the best albums of 2023 oh & you said this was the most depressing shoegaze album you’ve heard.. might not be after Jane’s😭
Wow, great that youre listen to parannoul! Another great artist is Jim O'Rourke. His live album "live at japan 2002.9.16" is incredible!! You definitely have to check it out!
Damn forgot how great this album is, I'd love to see a review of Women - Public Strain, its not shoegaze but its got such a unique sound, easily one of my favs, been having it on repeat this past year.
U need to react to the brave little abacus!!! It have that youth feeling like parannoul but they were from Massachusetts. They have two albums with long ass songs like this and it has that raw feeling and not a very pristine production even though the ideas implemented on those records are fantastic. I'd recommend any of their two albums, but my personal favourite is their first, even if their second is their most known
Please do a reaction/review of Cursive's the ugly organ smags. I believe it will be a lot of fun for you and us. Thanks for picking so many great albums so far...you and your audience are helping me rediscover my love of music.
Good to see more people enjoy this album. Pls give his other stuff a chance too! After the magic, Paraglow, after the night. Parannoul is one of the best
it's worth noting that this guy was relatively unknown before this album dropped, for him to write such amazing music with such a small audience is genuinely inspirational.
Amazing album. Dude, I just came across your channel a few days ago and have been consistently watching. You deserve a lot of love as your reactions are extremely genuine...as well as your honest opinions. If I was to recommend an album or two it would be Music has the right to children by Boards Of Canada and Happy songs for happy people by Mogwai. Keep it real bro. Hope the channel keeps growing and growing
At some point you gotta do Transatlanticism by Death Cab For Cutie. A leap for the modern concept album and for Midwest emo/indie rock in the early 2000s. Lyrics are unmatched
Is an interesting evolution to see this sound and lyricism compared to his later work in “After the Magic” my 2nd place for AOTY, just below the Jane record.
Please do a Bob Dylan record! Start with either bringing it all back home or highway 61 revisited, his 2 most accessible albums. Other suggestions that would be great would be rain dogs by tom waits, or the swans are dead live album by swans, which has absolutely the best material they've ever done.
Amazing video as always, man. I usually agree with almost everything you say in your videos. An album i really wanna recommend is Lift to Experience- the Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads.
Love me some parannoul, good choice Smarachnophobia! You gotta hear Parannoul’s newest album and/or the live album, ppl are saying the live album is the modern day fishmans album 98.12.28 and it would be cool to see what you think
this is great, glad you're reacting to this album! i think you would enjoy Andy Shauf - The Bearer of Bad News or Aldous Harding - Designer; both very unique voices i'd love to see a reaction/review to
Most of the samples are from a movie called "All About Lily Chou-Chou" and the anime "Welcome to the N.H.K." This video goes over a lot of them - ua-cam.com/video/Rf4Nb6CjRxg/v-deo.html great reaction man been looking foreword to this for a while
still loving the 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)
Hey man, i follow you here from Brazil, I would really like to see you reacting to a Brazilian album, if you are interested here are two recommendations: - "Construção - Chico Buarque" (the most classic and complex Brazilian album, was made in the 70s, a time when we Brazilians lived under an authoritarian system of dictatorship, some artists, like chico buarque, made albums and inserted criticism in some tracks, some more explicit and others more restrained, especially because it was a time when anyone who was against the system was arrested and tortured, there is a good video in English talking about this [ How Brazil's Music Hid Protest Inside Harmony by Charles Cornell ] ) - The other recommendation is the album "Me Chama de Gato que Eu Sou Sua - Ana Frango Elétrico" is the best brazilian album of this year, a kind of modern funk ( fantano give it a 8/10 but in my opinion, is a 9/10 ) Anyway, keep making these videos, I end up discovering a lot of gems here, your reactions are very genuine.
pleasee listen to after the night by parannoul 🙏 literally just his 98.12.28, insane live album where he just does every song better than the studio version, and it ends with a stupidly long but incredible song
Thanks for reacting to this album! A recommendation I have is Finally We Are No One by Mum is a great soothing indietronica album. give it a listen. Also react to Get to Heaven by Everything Everything PLEASE
@@smags1082 Try this playlist maybe? ua-cam.com/play/PLYNXcgRtGK8Ej3BYnkd13dufY4miEU-U6.html It's not mine but I think it's a good one because it contains official UA-cam uploads of the songs. There's also an EP attached at the end but you can skip it. It's solid but not essential
Nice review. It's a little strange to me that so much of your reaction is based on the lyrics because whenever I've listened to it I have had no idea what it was about. I'd looked up enough to know the general mood, but not track by track. I'll.add to all the other comments suggesting following up this video with After the Magic
another asian artist with an amazing approach to sound, tho more textury and experimental, is hakushi hasegawa. No one's really doin what he be doin. check out his album "Air Nini".
I beg of thee to listen to Nurture by Porter Robinson. It's up there as one of my favorite albums and if you did it on my birthday which is on the 13th I could die happy
parannoul’s lyrics on this album are him just beating himself up. even in his interviews he doesn’t think himself as someone “great” or doesn’t take credit for something as amazing as to see the next part of the dream, just check his rym interview ):
![[파란노을(Parannoul) 인터뷰 모음.ZIP] 파란노을의 방송 첫 출연! 그 어디에서도 들을 수 없었던 진솔한 음악 이야기](/img/n.gif)
this album was all done digitally is INSANE
where can i find this out? that's massively impressive if so
@@_ben_miller he said it on an interview on rate your music
@@Waltar100 , ok. thanks
Wait so the guitars are all just midi???
yes@@maxmiller1950
I reccomend his album from this year "After the Magic" great album with unique atmosphere and also Live album "After the Night" with some of the best live performances i've heard in a long time like Into an Endless Night - incredible stuff, I think you've should check it out if you liked that one, great reaction as always cheers!!

I prefer the Rollercoaster album from Red House Painters but hell yeah
I'd prefer him to do Shed but hey
@@smoshbooz Me too dw, but Floral Green is the more popular pick here fs

You def have to check After the Magic next, the difference in mood and quality from album to album is inspiring
Brother, you keep picking GREAT albums and they're all unique, your viewers have good taste or wherever you're picking from. keep it up🤘
i thought parannoul was a band the first time i heard this album but the fact that it's just one dude and everything was done on a computer is insane. really hoping you check out after the magic at some point, parannoul's growth as an artist (and as a person) on that album is very moving
BEAUTIFUL WORLD HITS SO HARD BCS I RELATE SO MUUUCHHG
If ur liking this newer shoegaze sound then you GOTTA listen to the new Jane Remover album. it’s so unbelievably slept on, unique, & one of the best albums of 2023
oh & you said this was the most depressing shoegaze album you’ve heard.. might not be after Jane’s😭
I was looking for someone to say this
Wow, great that youre listen to parannoul! Another great artist is Jim O'Rourke. His live album "live at japan 2002.9.16" is incredible!! You definitely have to check it out!
fr. he really should do that. great album
한국 음악시장이 건강해지는 게 느껴짐
Please check out Sky Hundred and After the Magic, the soundscapes are so beautiful
NOW THIS IS A ALBUM.
Damn forgot how great this album is, I'd love to see a review of Women - Public Strain, its not shoegaze but its got such a unique sound, easily one of my favs, been having it on repeat this past year.
Public Strain is one of my favs too, absolutely unique album. Love me some Cindy Lee too
This is my favourite Parannoul album! Glad to see it getting the recognition it deserve

Dude you gotta hear 13 by Blur its an amazing album, kinda gets Radioheady at times
Please do a reaction/review of Cursive's the ugly organ smags. I believe it will be a lot of fun for you and us. Thanks for picking so many great albums so far...you and your audience are helping me rediscover my love of music.

Parannoul is one of the best
it's worth noting that this guy was relatively unknown before this album dropped, for him to write such amazing music with such a small audience is genuinely inspirational.
I hope you would try out Panchiko’s Deathmetal and/or Ferric Oxide! I don’t know if you have, but there’s some good songs in those projects
bro, I recommend the album Just Got Back From the Discomfort-We're Alright by The Brave Little Abacus. It's a very interesting emo band
Yes he gotta react to this. I'd love to see his thoughts on Demo? as well just because of how insane that album sounds.
Amazing album. Dude, I just came across your channel a few days ago and have been consistently watching. You deserve a lot of love as your reactions are extremely genuine...as well as your honest opinions.
If I was to recommend an album or two it would be Music has the right to children by Boards Of Canada and Happy songs for happy people by Mogwai.
Keep it real bro. Hope the channel keeps growing and growing
This album is so so good and got so much better when I realized the cover is a drawing of a shot from All About Lily Chou Chou

You NEED to do a reaction of After the Magic. DO IT. I DEMAND.
Drop The Rubber Soul Reaction, King (you are the single most consistent youtuber that doesnt have like. a production congrats man)

i recommend reviewing Kazemachi Roman by Happy End. rated #1 japanese rock album of all time for a reason

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)
definitely check out after the magic!!!!
Hey man, i follow you here from Brazil, I would really like to see you reacting to a Brazilian album, if you are interested here are two recommendations:
- "Construção - Chico Buarque" (the most classic and complex Brazilian album, was made in the 70s, a time when we Brazilians lived under an authoritarian system of dictatorship, some artists, like chico buarque, made albums and inserted criticism in some tracks, some more explicit and others more restrained, especially because it was a time when anyone who was against the system was arrested and tortured, there is a good video in English talking about this [ How Brazil's Music Hid Protest Inside Harmony by Charles Cornell ] )
- The other recommendation is the album "Me Chama de Gato que Eu Sou Sua - Ana Frango Elétrico" is the best brazilian album of this year, a kind of modern funk ( fantano give it a 8/10 but in my opinion, is a 9/10 )
Anyway, keep making these videos, I end up discovering a lot of gems here, your reactions are very genuine.
LOVVVVV IT

Nice review. It's a little strange to me that so much of your reaction is based on the lyrics because whenever I've listened to it I have had no idea what it was about. I'd looked up enough to know the general mood, but not track by track.
I'll.add to all the other comments suggesting following up this video with After the Magic
You should listen to The Stranger by Billy Joel next
another asian artist with an amazing approach to sound, tho more textury and experimental, is hakushi hasegawa. No one's really doin what he be doin. check out his album "Air Nini".
yuuupppp quality album choice as usual
please check out jane remover frailty and / or census designated. shes an amazing artist and i feel like her music would interest you a log
I beg of thee to listen to Nurture by Porter Robinson. It's up there as one of my favorite albums and if you did it on my birthday which is on the 13th I could die happy
