he actually had it completed by the end of 95 ear;ly 96...had to re record it..imagine this coming out in january 1996...somehow makes it seem even more ahead of its time @@oliver6530
This album is too huge to absorb in one sitting you did a good job. I hope you go back for more lessons kicked it in the sun is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Love the channel and all the reactions. Here's way too many suggestions: John Maus - We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves Lewis - L'Amour Destroyer - Kaputt Autechre - LP5 Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen Ariel Pink - Pom Pom Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand R.E.M. - Murmur Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica Grateful Dead - American Beauty Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance Loose Fur - Loose Fur Steely Dan - Aja Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible Clinic - Internal Wrangler The Verve - Urban Hymns
Built to Spill is kind of its own thing but influenced many bands they get no credit for. Duster is kind of the same genre in fact two members of duster were in Built to Spill for a while.
One of my favourite albums of all time, I love how Doug Marstsch made an entire album revolving around his struggles with manic depression and the like,only for the very last song on the album to turn to the listener,asking the same question that Doug did throught the whole thing. Just like "Rock 'n Roll suicide" by Bowie,this song cut through to me so fucking hard when I first listened to it. "You don't like anything,0cause you're unlikable,all because you're not interested in you anymore"
One of my all-time favourite albums, here's my recommendation list: The Wrens - The Meadowlands Self - Subliminal Plastic Motives Bark Psychosis - Codename: Dustsucker Bark Psychosis - Hex 12 Rods - Split Personalities
You gotta do a Death Cab album if you haven't already, my vote goes to Transatlanticism or Narrow Stairs, both really atmospheric groovy records that this album heavily reminds me of!
Love this album so much. Top 5 for me. I don’t know what genre but I call it swirly guitar indie rock. I want you to know I appreciate the thought you put into your comments! Especially when it’s a favorite album, one hopes you’ll catch the special verses/sounds/etc and mention it after, and you killed it with this one! Another excellent record they have is Keep It Like a Secret. Similar vibe but shorter, punchier tunes. It’s fantastic. Cheers!
What I like most about your channel is that I can actually discover new music watching you thanks Smags. Allsosome emo would be sick Deja Entendu by Brand New is an amazing experience. I loved this album aswell. ❤️
Built to Spill is the best! Oldie but a banger! Velvet Waltz is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Definitely my favorite live band. Great review, you should check the newest album, "When the wind forgets your name". Its amazing. Keep it up!👍
Some albums i would love if you reacted to: Queens of the stone age - Like clockwork System Of A Down - Self Titled The Clash - London Calling Gorillaz - Demon Days The Voidz - Virtue
Bro you can react to: Clube da Esquina - Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges ★ (Blackstar) - David Bowie Mount Eerie - The Microphones Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown Donuts - J Dilla The Forever Story - JID 22, A Milion - Bon Iver
I was waiting for this one :) Seems like you really got immersed in this album's sound because you didn't comment much while listening, haha. That's not a complaint though, I get it. Keep It like a Secret is their other masterpiece and you should definitely check it out. It's more "normal" structurally and the songs are shorter and poppier, if I can say so, so that's why it maybe doesn't stand out as much in the indie rock scene. In terms of quality it's pretty much on the same level though. It also contains their most popular song! Not gonna name it though, try to figure it out yourself Other legendary indie rock albums that you need to react to are The Moon & Antarctica by Modest Mouse and Emergency & I by The Dismemberment Plan. I've been requesting the first one on your videos from time to time so perhaps you remember some of the things I said (probably not since you get so many requests but whatever). The production on it is not as aggressive as on The Lonesome Crowded West so I'm sure in that sense it'll appeal to you more. For me it's an S-tier album and really, there's not a single complaint I have for it. I don't expect you to be as enthusiastic as me but I have a good feeling you'll react positively to it. It's certainly not a happy album and has a cold and melancholic sound (accurately conveyed by the title). It should fit the current season though, so don't miss out on it, heh. You'll probably forget about it but one thing that I highly recommend is to listen to the track Night on the Sun off the eponymous EP. It was made around the time this album was recorded and man, this song blows my mind every time. As much as I love almost everything from early Modest Mouse, I don't think anything tops this one The second album (Emergency & I) is also amazing. A great mix of neurotic energy, creative sound and clever and occasionally funny lyrics. Early 20s (talking about your age, not 2020s) is THE time to get into this album, haha. I also have to say that while this album is quite well-known, at least among indie rock fans, the band is kinda forgotten which is unfair. Their next album Change is almost as brilliant but it seems like no one ever talks about it for some reason. If you really like E&I, it'll be awesome if you check it out as well
Everytime I see you upload I'm so happy!! Genuinely this is one of my favorite channels out there. You already know, you should check out Jim O'Rourke "live at Japan 2002.9.16" (thanks to these comments I know the title by heart now, but is it "at" or "in" Japan?). Anyway I'll wait however long to see the reaction I only want you to listen to this album cause I want to share it's beauty!
Love built to spill! Recommendations Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven Arca - Kick I-IIIII
If you're having doubts about the genre I'd say it's indie rock/ art rock. Post Rock is generally caracterized by songs with big build ups and a focus on texture, which to be fair this album has to an extent, but a much better example is what you heard from Swans. Not that any of this matters tho, just nerd shit after all.
It can definitely be put in with post-rock. It’s indie rock primarily but probably post-rock secondarily, the telltale signs being the 1-2 minute instrumental climaxes at the end of pretty much every song and the constantly increasing energy and volume on most songs.
I haven't heard this one but going by the comments in past vids, people love it. Look forward to checking out . Nearly at 10k dude.. Everything Everything - get to heaven or Giles corey will get you there 😬🤟
on the topic of classic early 2000’s indie, check out “Plus, Minus, Equals” by The Velvet Teen. Short, 9 song album with some interesting production and catchy instrumentals/vocals
George clanton put out an amazing 90’s psych pop album this year, filled with lush sound scapes and amazing melodies. I always gotta give a shout out to Parannoul -after the magic
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)
smags u are absolutely hitting every banger out of the park, i know u get a billion recs but if u dont have NFR or ultraviolence by lana del rey near the top i HIGHLY suggest them i think it would be cool to see a genre ive rarely seen u do.❤
yo smags, i was wondering if apart from albums youre up for listening to EPs and singles? you could also like give feedback on your subscribers music (if there is any lmao) i think it would be pretty sick.
brother if you don’t review Brand New’s The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, the sorrow you will bring me is indescribable. Understand the power you hold
Yo Smanta Claus, how about another System Of A Down reaction as a present? I swear I’ve been good this year. Suggestion (I already told you but I’ll just be clear): SOAD - Hypnotize/Mezmerize
Let’s gooooo sorry for being annoying but I really think it’s worth it. My next rec will be Gustavo Cerati- Bocanada as it is really catchy and a very fun listen
![Built to Spill - Time Trap [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mAIVGj8-Z9c/mqdefault.jpg)
In the spirit of 2000s indie classics, emergency and I by the dismemberment plan is beyond essential!
Just realised PFNO actually dropped in ‘97… only goes to show how ahead of its time it was 🙃
Hell yes I recommended it in a past video too, awesome album!
he actually had it completed by the end of 95 ear;ly 96...had to re record it..imagine this coming out in january 1996...somehow makes it seem even more ahead of its time
@@oliver6530
Killing it on choices to react to. These guys are nuts live.
Incredible live!
Doug is a legend man
Their cover of Cortez the Killer they do live is so good
I agree, he had more members when I saw him then the girls he has now though.
Listen to Keep it Like a Secret next. It’s their best album in my opinion.
I’d hurt a fly is pure atmospheric indie PERFECTION
I almost spilled everywhere when I saw this noti 😫
Stop creeping on the poor boy
@@cuteasxtreme ?

banger suggestions
Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and Small Leaks Sink Ships are my favorite 3 bands.
Built to Spill is kind of its own thing but influenced many bands they get no credit for. Duster is kind of the same genre in fact two members of duster were in Built to Spill for a while.
I love Duster and didn't even realise, that explains why this album felt so instantly likeable and familiar
Amazing album. Would love to hear you check out some Grandaddy albums if you liked this one. Also, gotta do The Moon & Antarctica by Modest Mouse!
Software Slump is the best Grandaddy album to check first imo!
yeah! Grandaddy!
One of my favourite albums of all time, I love how Doug Marstsch made an entire album revolving around his struggles with manic depression and the like,only for the very last song on the album to turn to the listener,asking the same question that Doug did throught the whole thing.

"You don't like anything,0cause you're unlikable,all because you're not interested in you anymore"
One of the greatest albums everrrrr
If you like this album, I recommend Keep It Like A Secret and There's Nothing Wrong With Love by the same band
One of my all-time favourite albums, here's my recommendation list:
The Wrens - The Meadowlands
Self - Subliminal Plastic Motives
Bark Psychosis - Codename: Dustsucker
Bark Psychosis - Hex
12 Rods - Split Personalities
I was rocking Meadowlands today, what a great record.
BrianEno-Here Come the Warm Jets (1974). His best album.
“If there’s a word for you, it doesn’t mean anything” is the biggest burn ever.
You gotta do a Death Cab album if you haven't already, my vote goes to Transatlanticism or Narrow Stairs, both really atmospheric groovy records that this album heavily reminds me of!
Tbh I prefer the postal service but either would rock
transatlanticism or the postal service would be so cooooooool
@@priorbj6562 give up is the best album of all time

OH MY FUCKING GOD, FINALLY.

One of those albums that either changes your life, or it’s just pretty good. Hardly any in-between.

recommending Third eye blinds self titled for a classic 2000s pick.
Bro you’re the absolute goat with these reactions! haircut maybe soon?
lmao
Day 3 of asking I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes
WE NEED THIS ALSO MAYBE FEVERS AND MIRRORS OR LIFTED TOO
also basically everything else saddle creek or anything Barsuk too all of those bands were incredible
@@PrototheDodo he can listen to those after wide awake, I feel it would be too much (even though they are all top 1 album of all time)
Awesome video as always. This album is probably in my top5.
I recommend Texas Jerusalem crossroads by Lift to Experience.
Goateddddd album, i know you reacted to The Lonesome Crowded West, you should definitely check out Moon and Antarctica!
I come again to recommend Chilean indie rock band called Niños del Cerro, specially the album Lance.
PD: I love your analysis, saludos desde Chile

Some of the greatest guitar work I’ve ever heard on this record
Love this album. Heavily recommend Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
Jazz fusion guitar master🎸
love this album, still hoping for a sparklehorse reaction some time
Look forward everyday for a new video. Love the reactions. You should listen to Brighten the Corners by pavement.
YUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSS LETS GO SMAGS
still rooting for broken social scene you forgot it in people!!
on the topic of classic early 2000’s indie, check out “Plus, Minus, Equals” by The Velvet Teen. Short, 9 song album with some interesting production and catchy instrumentals/vocals
not a 2000’s album but this album definitely hold strong against those contenders in that era
You GYATT to do a Yo La Tengo reaction
bro reacts to banger album after banger album, you love to see that
George clanton put out an amazing 90’s psych pop album this year, filled with lush sound scapes and amazing melodies. I always gotta give a shout out to Parannoul -after the magic
Gotta hit Keep It Like A Secret by them next
I think Doug is an underrated lyricist as well, he writes some really cool shit
Gotta react to “KEEP IT LIKE A SECRET” from built to spill. Their best by far
You should check out "keep it like a secret" it's built to spills best album imo
Peak 90s indie!!!
Being that guy again: would love an A I A: Alien Observer reaction/review. Would mean the world.
I love jungkook (LISTEN TO GILES GOREY ❗️❗️❗️❗️)
Please do another Elliott smith reaction and as usual, great vid
You should react to You’d Prefer An Astronaut by Hum! Or their album Downward is Heavenward.
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)
You should do Keep It Like a Secret by Built To Spill!
And also There's Nothing Wrong With Love
I recommend Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we? - The Cranberries
Great fuckin album choices my man
you should checkout orange by fishmans, it was in their more dub era type music but its still really nice :D
smags u are absolutely hitting every banger out of the park, i know u get a billion recs but if u dont have NFR or ultraviolence by lana del rey near the top i HIGHLY suggest them i think it would be cool to see a genre ive rarely seen u do.❤
