Pure Heroine when I hit *50K Subscribers* 🔥 *Like the video* or you’ll rue the day *Lorde voice* Follow me on Instagram/Twitter: anthony96jr instagram.com/anthony96jr/
that line in the louvre “we’ll be the greatest, they’ll hang us in the louvre, down the back, but who cares? still the louvre” criminals used to be hanged at the back of the louvre, when i found out about it it blew my mind lol
Other people: We'll end up getting in a car accident. Lorde: We'll end up painted on the road, red and chrome, all the broken glass sparkling. I guess we're partying. Her lyrics are so vivid I love it!
The fact that Lorde and Jack didn’t include Anthony’s rap solo as the intro for loveless is an even bigger crime then melodrama not winning album of the year at the Grammys.
I’ve never related more to a song in my life. (Except maybe Liability). Just...”I ride the subway, read the signs/I let the seasons change my mind/I love it here/Since I stopped needing you”?! Like...WHAT?!?!?! How did she KNOW that’s what I needed to hear?
lorde has synaesthesia so basically her senses can be kinda mixed up so can hear colours etc, and so that really influenced this album - apparently the album cover is meant to reflect how she sees the songs & defo similar palate to euphoria! Would love her to do the music for a later season
Him reacting to Liability: “THAT’S WHAT THEY DID TO MY HOMIE WOODY” Me: Oh I wonder who Woody is, I hope he’s okay. Him: “*Woody from toy story pops on screen* HE USED TO BE PERFECT TOY BACK IN THE DAY” Me: YOU DID NOT JUST DO LIABILITY LIKE DAT 💀
Lorde: "The truth is, I am a toy that people enjoy, until all of the tricks don't work anymore" Anthony: "THAT'S WHAT THEY DID TO MY HOMIE WOODY" LMAOOO I CANT STAND YOU
I still feel confused on some things but thank you!! I was a english (literature)/journalism major in school so I guess I can read deeply into things really well
god, lorde needs to come back. i've been listening to olivia's songs, including her unreleased songs and i can't wait for her debut album, but damn... i miss lorde so much.
Sober will grow on you, it's perfectly placed on the tracklist. Also, get those headphones, the production on this album is insanity. Thank you for the videos, Anthony!
absolutely love the fact that even in videos that don't have anything to do with taylor you can't help but throw multiple references about her and her music, if that doesn't show the essence of a true swiftie then idk what else will. keep the good reactions coming!
I love that I already heard the songs that you react a million times before, but how you talk about them makes me feel like the first time with all the details that you pay attention to
I love that instead of only telling us to watch the other reactions, you add clips of them in the video too. Probably a small detail but that's so cool!
Yeah !!!! Yes, Melodrama is really a powerful body of work. Lorde is so unique and Jack is a great producer. Idk if people have mentioned it but Pure Heroine is produced by Joel little, one of the producer on Lover
Ella Yellich O’Connor is my everything, and Melodrama is high art. Poetry, music, and oil on canvas. Heard it for the first time at the end of last year. Much 💕
The way you interpreted that she was talking about herself in liability before "all that a stranger would see, is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek" lyric blew my mind. My dumb ass could never 😂
You are underrated but I also love the small intimate vibes that you give off. Your videos make me feel like we're just hanging out and listening to some jams. So when you do finally make it big time on here, don't change ♥️
the editing and transitions for this are so cool and energetic. you have a lot of charisma and it really shows. plus you have such insightful commentary. i really enjoyed this.
Ok I loved this reaction because I felt it so honest and cool, the bits that you rapped were really nice. And also the thought you put on the lyrics were really good too!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE AND I AM SOOOOO HAPPY IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! Melodrama (in my opinion) is one of the greatest albums. Had no skips and it’s all 10/10. Even Bruno Mars agrees that it deserved AOTY and not him. Anyway, I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!! Thank you for doing this, Anthony. During her tour she covered “Solo” by Frank Ocean and it’s so good. She said Blonde really inspired her through the making of Melodrama. She has synesthesia which is why it takes her so long to make music, she has to see the see the right colors. Anyway! Amazing editing like always! 💙💜
“Broadcast the boom boom boom and make them all dance to it.” That’s her heart that’s why the beat is like her heart.. so Genius ❤️ Melodrama is so magical ✨ I wish i can hear it for the first time again. Album of the Century
You should check out the version of Homemade Dynamite with feats. I can't BELIEVE how people slept on it, its so catchy AND feats were SZA, Post Malone and Khalid! All of them were there. Like... how
You can say you’re definitely super underrated people need to sub because I know they rush back when you pop into their recs anyways! Especially if that means we get a reaction to Pure Heroin quicker. 😌
Story time. I LOVE Melodrama, and the Louvre is my favorite from the album, not only because it’s production and lyrics pulled me in, but because it helped me manage some anxiety a couple years ago. I was working as an intern (for a school project) at this refurbished building, and I had to take the elevator up every day. Now, I’m not a huge fan of elevators on a GOOD day, but this one had this habit of taking forever to go up one or two floors, and you could hear the cables creaking and feel the car swaying and lurching as it moved up. So I’m standing in this elevator, praying to about fifteen different deities that I don’t die today, and in my head, I’m playing The Louvre so I don’t have a heart attack or manifest some “elevator falling” vibes. Obviously I’m still alive, so the elevator kept its schtuff together, but dear lord, I’m never using one again. Long story short, The Louvre is the best song on Melodrama, even with the tough competition.
Was able to see her perform this album (and Pure Heroine) and she's a great performer. She was so giddy when she found out about the OH-IO thing OSU fans do and she'd do it off and on throughout her set. Can't wait for new music and it's concert.
this is one of the most magical albums I've ever heard in my life. Lorde is truly an artist that produces not just a song but an art. A real masterpiece art.
One of my favorite Lorde songs that you should check out is Magnets!! It's a collaboration with the electronic band Disclosure and it's such a good song!

liability is where she kills me
@@debora_aguirre she killed me at Liablity but was kind enough to bring me back to life only to kill me again at Writer in the Dark
@@AnthonyAikenJr When will you be reacting to songs from Julie and the Phantoms? ☺️
you should listen to the louvre with headphones...tbh this album give you the full experience with headphones
Bruh this so shoulda been album of the year. But it went to 24k Magic? Wut?
Melodrama not winning a single Grammy just shows how useless the Grammys are. this album is a whole experience
When a song like yummy gets a nomination we cant take the Grammys seriously
Cardi performing at the Grammys shows how far they've fallen.
@@dubrob210 not really
@@idontevenhaveapla7224 Yes really
Y'all need to stop talking about the Grammy's at all to be honest, the more attention you give to them the more important they think they are
I always envy people listening to Melodrama for the first time in their life.
me too i miss that 😭
Same
oml, I miss that
Yeah me too! I kind of regret listening to it back in 2017, but I’m glad I was earlier than most people hahaha
Yes :(
that line in the louvre “we’ll be the greatest, they’ll hang us in the louvre, down the back, but who cares? still the louvre” criminals used to be hanged at the back of the louvre, when i found out about it it blew my mind lol
woah...
Reminds me of Swinging party line (not Lorde's original song but still) "If being afraid is a crime we hang side by side "
I love how i'm learning something new everyday even though melodrama was released a long time ago...
WHAT
This album works best on headphones or when you're super drunk.
transcendental in headphones
This album is so euphoric when you’re stoned
@@Misaelito1991 yes
I get drunk with this album, I truly do, no drink needed. I love that magic.
@@jepokacor definitely
i will never get tired of people reacting to melodrama
period
Facts
it's such a wonderful wild card!!
Other people: We'll end up getting in a car accident.
Lorde: We'll end up painted on the road, red and chrome, all the broken glass sparkling. I guess we're partying.
Her lyrics are so vivid I love it!
Ikr, stanning lorde, taylor and lana are one of the best things I have ever done. I am a sucker for lyrics
Melodrama was nominated for AOTY at the 2018 Grammys alongside with DAMN by Kendrick but both lost to 24k Magic. It still haunts me today.
that’s actually scary
The fact that 24K magic took album of the year in 2018 will never sit well with me
I agree actually. I can literally name 4 albums better than 24K magic.
@@AnthonyAikenJr melodrama, DAMN., 4:44, "awaken, my love!"
@@AnthonyAikenJr yep the other 4 albums that was nominated at that year lol.
The fact that Lorde and Jack didn’t include Anthony’s rap solo as the intro for loveless is an even bigger crime then melodrama not winning album of the year at the Grammys.
Jack Antonoff is the king of making music for when you want to be a main character in an indie film
writer in the dark reaction is just pure gold
I’ve never related more to a song in my life. (Except maybe Liability). Just...”I ride the subway, read the signs/I let the seasons change my mind/I love it here/Since I stopped needing you”?! Like...WHAT?!?!?! How did she KNOW that’s what I needed to hear?
@@impish_snake3526 omfg same
@@impish_snake3526 she;s literally narrating my life wtf
@@impish_snake3526 we don't create our story, lorde does
this album is still one of the best albums from the last 10 years
Can't believe this is just a 2 people project . Also LORDE IS A PRODUCER and a singer/songwriter. This is atleast 70% lorde's producction.
Sometimes less is more
I think Tove Lo also cowrote Homemade Dynamite but other than that it was all Ella and Jack
NFR, Melodrama and Folklore = Best albums of all time (Jack Antonoff is in every single one)
ahhh the holy trinity
so true
Gotta give credit to his AMAZING engineer Laura Sisk who engineered all these Album + 1989 & reputation
yes also all of them are AOTY nominated albums
YES
fun fact: they recorded her heartbeat to use in the instrumental for the louvre so u were right about the heartbeat
2017 was one of the best years for music period
Right?!! So many good albums

Melodrama
果笑
they used liability in an episode of euphoria, so everything in the edits is coming full circle lmao
I think I've watched every single Melodrama reaction video on UA-cam no lie
Lorde is seriously so good! Been listening to Pure Heroine a lot recently. Another great, underrated artist is Carly Rae Jepsen!
God your so smart with your analysis of the lyrics! It usually takes me a couple listens to understand a song's meaning haha
I still feel confused on some things but thank you!! I was a english (literature)/journalism major in school so I guess I can read deeply into things really well
I loved this reaction so much.
Lorde made an announcement last year that she's been working on her new album with Jack! I think it'll be out later this year.
also it was lorde's heartbeats being played during the louvre's chorus !!!
I LOOVVEEE when you breakdown the lyrics!!!
ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!!
god, lorde needs to come back. i've been listening to olivia's songs, including her unreleased songs and i can't wait for her debut album, but damn... i miss lorde so much.
i first heard lorde when royals came out and i’ve never stopped listening to her since, literally i’m in love
IM EARLY AND MELODRAMA IS SO GOOD YESSSS
when sober 2’s beat kicks in, i explode
Sober will grow on you, it's perfectly placed on the tracklist. Also, get those headphones, the production on this album is insanity. Thank you for the videos, Anthony!
VERRYYYY HYPED AND VERY MUCH BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
absolutely love the fact that even in videos that don't have anything to do with taylor you can't help but throw multiple references about her and her music, if that doesn't show the essence of a true swiftie then idk what else will. keep the good reactions coming!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AAAAA
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!! one of the best albums of all time
the fact that melodrama didn't win aoty at the grammy's will forever haunt me :(
ur the best youtouber of music reactions. Periodt.
Ahhh I listened to this album for the first time a while ago and it’s literally life changing
BRO I LOVE HOW YOU ADDED ALL YOUR OWN THOUGHTS TO IT IN THE END IT MAKES THE REACTION ALL THE MORE MEANINGFUL
I said it in the other video. We stan Melodrama Album of the Decade!
the freestyles are so cool man wtf
Damn I’m just now getting to this album..bro..this is a masterpiece..I might be late but I don’t regret it..hits different in 2022
The way you understood liability so quick, damn impressive Anthony
I love that I already heard the songs that you react a million times before, but how you talk about them makes me feel like the first time with all the details that you pay attention to
Yesss I hope you'll do pure heroine too!!
Glad you finally reacted!!!
Finally wow💜 probably one of my favourite videos from you! Melodrama is breathtaking ✨ The Louvre, Hard Feelings, Liability... just wow
Yessss. This is up there for one of my most favourite albums in the previous decade.
Your "Writer in the Dark" reaction sent me XD Yeah, we all felt that. This album has been in my rotation for years at this point, it never gets old.
bro, this was very fun to watch! your personality is amazing
I love that instead of only telling us to watch the other reactions, you add clips of them in the video too. Probably a small detail but that's so cool!

Yes yes yes ✊🏼 I love this reaction! waiting for pure heroine

@@AnthonyAikenJr my favorites are 400 lux, ribs, team, glory and gore there are just 💯💯 can't wait for you reaction!

Yesssssssss your reaction was mine to a T. Melodrama is one of my all time favorite albums and I didn’t discover it until just last year. 100/10
Ok I loved this reaction because I felt it so honest and cool, the bits that you rapped were really nice. And also the thought you put on the lyrics were really good too!

I wish i can hear it for the first time again.

Loved this reaction, no surprise, I’m obsessed with Lorde and I’m obsessed with you so it was a given
you're my favorite album reactor. hope you had a good day!
"THAT'S WHAT THEY DID TO MY HOMIE WOODY" i died
your reactions are so charming. really refreshing compared to a lot of reaction channels out there

Elite music taste bro, and you understand and break it down well. sick content.
Clicked so quickly when I noticed the video on my page. Great reaction! ☺
why did the end of Liability get me choked up I've heard it so many times
Sober is definitely a grower. At first it was one of my least favorites but now its one of my favorites off the album.
been waiting for this one man, thank you.
Oh you put the iconic lorde clip when she shushed he entire crowd to sing writer in the dark alone . 😄
OH MY GOD YES IM SO EXCITED THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO EVER EXIST
this is one of the most magical albums I've ever heard in my life. Lorde is truly an artist that produces not just a song but an art. A real masterpiece art.
Absolutely fantastic review.
Writer in the dark and Liability are the best songs on the album.
I listened to Melodrama for the first time last week so I’ll be bopping to it for months along with you
THURSDAY AS PROMISED I'M HERE, YESS!! Another amazing video Anthony, sending you good vibes only!
God I'm glad you're back! Your content is just the best! ❤
And your freestyles are always 🔥
You are one of the most positive person in online🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 big live and hugs from Russia ♥️♥️♥️
the louvre outro production makes me nostalgic like how
It’s dreamy
