Never would‘ve thought the 15 Styles of Rap guy could make an album that would make me cry. Absolutely phenomenal
When he realized himself that he had this potential and vision in mind, that’s when he took a step back from being the 15 styles guy
This is the first album I have ever cried to just from the instrumentals alone I'm beyond proud to see his progression of corny rapper to literally making music nobody has ever heard before.
how are u crying to instrumentals your just wierd
Right like name this genre
@@Nick-oo5lh How is that weird? Did you listen to the same album? This shit is beautiful how could I not lmao
@@weakw1ll BASED HIVEMIND VIEWER
@@weakw1ll i mean it's a blend of a couple so it's impossible, but you can definitely name the individual influences.
I think the inclusion of dogs is kinda cool because of the whole thing about dogs and cats staring off into nothing, which can be seen as them looking at a "ghost." I'm not great at putting it into words but I think the dogs are there because they are the only ones that can see him.
YES. it’s such a crazy idea. he also says in picking up hands “i tried to call but the dog runs away from me now” which is SO sad and made me tear up because he’s not focusing on the massive burden of being dead and having to watch the world around you. he’s focusing on the small nuances that previously gave his life meaning. the posters in his room, the tree outside, and the dogs. he feels like he’s a stranger in his own home now. it’s beautiful and terrifying.
@@rednebula7612 thank you
@@rednebula7612 wow the way you explained that was great I feel a tear 😰
also the dog still plays fetch with him in one of the videos in the movie, like it can see him but no one else can
@@aquawrld it’s beautiful isn’t it? after doing some more reading this becomes even more apparent. he describes revisiting his childhood home and trying to make his presence known to everybody who is grieving him, but everything looks so different and he’s lost his ability to speak or make contact with the world he once lived in. can you imagine being dead and having to sit in silence and watch your family grieve you? to have to silently observe as they dig through your pictures, replay videos and try to relive memories? and to try your hardest to show them that you’re not all that far away and you can still be with them to no avail? it’s an unbelievable concept. the loneliness must be crippling. it’s no wonder he gets so angry with his mom when he sees her beginning to move on once his birthday hits. he probably feels all of this loneliness is for nothing and he can’t stand the idea of watching the world move on from him without being about to hold on.
Quadeca really produced a Danny Brown verse. Must feel crazy lol especially with how good it sounds.
This album invoked similar feelings that the movie Interstellar conveyed during the scene when Mcconaughey saw the video of his daughter as an adult. Completely heartbreaking yet beautiful.. simply beautiful. I think it’s vitally important to feel and explore these emotions.
I like this comparison lol, it reminds me of the line from the movie "once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future".
This Album remind me of the entire movie "A Ghost Story".
Quadeca just earned himself a new fan this was incredible

Chad
Yep same top 3 albums this year for sure

Is it just me, or this isn’t even music for the first time in 2 decades, this is making me feel an emotion I’ve never experienced, or even know what it is. It’s not happy or sad, this guy somehow created a dream we are all able to step into.
Idk what this is but I’m unable to even move or think of anything else as I’m listening (had to pause just to write).
All I know is I’m grateful. (Btw, this is coming from someone that has no history with this guys music).
The best way I can describe this is it feels like some kind of time machine. I am still in awe.
I don’t think anyone knew they needed this.
It’s like I’m remembering something that didn’t happen to me.
it made me feel a surreal feeling of mortality u dont really think about much, especially in the way portrayed. whole thing just felt haunting
@@ASTRALPROD truly it did!! But haunting in a content way for me
The whole album serves actual feeling and emotion, you can literally feel the emotion inside you radiating from the music & film. It’s crazy. Album of the year.
thats exactly why its my album of the year for this year. it may not be the one im going to listen to on repeat the most but the experience it created is worthy enough

Thanks for this but I’ll be watching the whole thing. Your a W fr
thanks :)
man when voice memos came out i knew he’d end up making some great music, but i never could’ve expected this. really proud to be a quadeca fan.
Same
I sensed talent and dedication to the craft from Quad since he released Insecure. Didn't know he'd end up making this though jesus christ
I am proud to say I watched his fifa videos back in the day, seeing where he is now is crazy
His progression is crazy. Also random question but is your profile pic duster?
@@whorod8895 yupppp, love duster. always cool getting recognized for it lol.
I NEED this on vinyl. Cover art is sick too
Aged well, It didn't have posters or a booklet, but the quality of mine is very good and the second disc's D side had some real cool bonus songs@@mocapcow2933
I was blown away by Born Yesterday when I first heard it, but hearing it in the context of the rest of the album genuinely brought me to tears. You can hear and feel the pain in his voice and the easygoing yet tormented production really compounds this feeling. Quadeca has truly produced a masterpiece with this album
I still believe The Weeknd and Kanye West have far more quality in their discography than Quad. No offence tho!
@@bailey3276 coldest take known to man. i don't know a single human being on earth who disagrees woth that, but i think thst this new quadeca album is on the same level or better then some of the weeknd/kanyes best. but their discog is 100% better
@@bailey3276 boy both Kanye and Weeknd have more than 7 albums in their discography obviously what's your point 😭😭😭
@@bailey3276such a dumb take lmao you're naming artists who've been doing it at a high level for a decade+ while quad is just now finding his sound and production vision on his last 2 projects. Not comparable.
Album explained a little if you are confused:
He dies from taking his own life and he becomes a ghost. He watches his mother grieve and becomes frustrated as he can’t do anything as she moves on rather quickly. Everyone says he went to heaven as he watches in a ghostly dimension. He gets sad, angry, and lonely and turns on the gas stove so his mother can join him. This doesn’t work how he wanted and now they are even more disconnected in this ghostly realm. He can’t even see her, but he can make out her voice. In cassini’s destiny, he finally goes into the void and finds closure as he understands that his mother needs to “let me go and don’t let go of me”. They go into the void together and are forever separated similarly to the gap in Saturns rings (cassini’s destiny astronomy definition)
Wow. I hadn't realized the meaning of the ending with cassini's division. Just outstanding
Learning that about the album made it 1000x times more beautiful to me
Where did you get that he killed his mother? The Danny Brown feature was him personifying the gas that killed Quadeca not his mom.
@@skitz876 I already did for sure. I read the house settling song as him lingering as a ghost and his mother sensing his presence through the cold in the air so she keeps turning up the heat and he's reminded of his own death. When we transition into fantasyworld and fractions of infinity, he realizes that he can't actually move on until he moves on from his guilt and realizes that people have to let him go. That's why cassini's division kicks in and he has to exist in a state where he's always separated via that void of being remembered, but let go. I really don't get how people read into house settling like that.
Can someone please explain to me how it was suicide? I'm totally open to the idea but so far all the lyrics that people say are implying suicide just imply his death.
I wouldn't change one thing about this album. That is one thing I rarely say. It is the best post-humous album I could have asked for. Well-written, well-produced, an absolute gut punch of emotions. Fantasyworld is one of my top tracks of the year. Just amazing. By the way, the place in fractions of infinity is a place in Turkey with nearly 730 unfinished, abandoned castles. It is private property, so Quad had to sneak in to film, with help from an experienced UA-cam explorer who had done it before. I just find that so hilarious.
what does post humous mean? sorry i’m really stupid
@@benbrian9884 After death
@@benbrian9884 posthumous means an album released after an artist's death.
it's a joke within the community that it's a posthumous album, because quadeca is dead inside it.
he's not dead irl, just the album is about that.
fantasyworld Probably best track of the year for me, incredible album. I heard born yesterday and was blown away, but i wasnt too excited for tell me a joke, but i like tell me a joke a lot better now, i guess i was expecting something else.
all of his songs are so vastly different, i preferred tell me a joke from the singles, but i’m not surprised everyone has different favorites because of how different everything is. i will agree tho, fantasyworld is my fav too
fantasyworld is also the highlight for me, it just is so good, the instruments and the second half of the song, just incredible, quadeca really outdid himself with this album
house settling, knots, and cassini's division are easily the highlights of the album. Jesus, I never expected material like this from a "youtube rapper". I guess this project is how Quadeca finally get that "label" off of him and cemented himself as an actual artist.
@@mocapcow2933 deadAir is building up an insane roster of boundary pushers, quadeca fits so well on there
How dare you forget to mention fantasyworld
@@mocapcow2933 Didn't know either of them were on a label. Jane remover and quadeca colab would be sick.
He has made his own genre and it is amazing, personally fantasyworld is the best track for me and I’m also not to big of a fan of knots but I still like it, insane album
He’s on deadAir they’re amazing
Love Joji but Quadeca just blew his project out of the water. Loved Nectar, LOVE IT. New one wasnt it, I digress. This feels like the next logical progression for emo rap. From the origins of Lil Peep to here, it's insane how this can be described as the same thing, but it can. Combination of the Microphones indie folk type sound with the emo rap sound is mesmerizing on here, not to mention the incredibly creative production choices, this is definitely an album that will be talked about for a long time.
It’s funny because I could’ve seen peep collaborating with quadeca, I know that sounds crazy, but both their styles really do mix to me in some sort of way with their grungy themes 😫 rip peep I listen to that dude every day still after like 3 years
This album absolutely annihilates anything Joji’s done imo. And I love Joji. But not really any reason to compare the two, very different artists.
I would say this album has the folktronic and avant-folk elements found on bon iver’s 22, a million
@@14.69-h4s it’s 22 a million + crumbling by mid air thief
@@dfkdb6249 didnt think of mid-air thief but i can hear that, my brain also draws a bit of comparison to porter robinson's recent album with the way he does the folktronica elements. very exciting to me how that sound is starting to creep into the mainstream.
fantasyworld is easily an 11/10 song and for me is up there for the SOTY
AOTY aside, jon bobbing his head to static at the end is priceless
Listened to this album twice today and I’ve been in shambles all day just in complete tears all day absolutely beautiful
Fucking hell what a baby, crying over some sounds 😂😂
I don’t care for emo rap and I wouldn’t classify this as that. I just see this album as Quadeca portraying how he feels inside. It’s not any genre. It’s just art to me. Every time I come back to it, I’ll find something new. The thing that makes it so good is he didn’t intend for it to matter to me. But it does. That’s the best art imo
That is very nice message about art I agree with but he’s rapping about emotions “emotional rap” “emo rap”
@@stevensilver2880 I’m just saying there’s no reason to try and pigeon hole this album with discussions of genre or style. To truly enjoy this album, all one must do is listen. No presuppositions are required
This is folktronic really, wouldn't say its an anything rap album
@@jacobbonetti6335 very true I agree !
If Quadeca was more well known this album could win so many awards
The production was incredible, I love quadeca so much what an album
something about watching someone else enjoy an album just as much as you can really elevate the experience of absorbing an entire project
I’ve never been so proud for someone I don’t know personally.
I was not at all hot on the singles, thought they were cool but didn't really have any desire to come back more than a couple times. Damn damn damn has the full album brought those songs to life for me. Can't wait to live with this thing more over the next few months, really special project
My first listen of this album was the film (without the lyrics) and it was absolutely stunning.
On my second listen I had the lyrics pulled up on genius, and it was an absolute heart wrenching experience.
Cried multiple times during it🥲
rewatching this video again, and cassinis division is still unlistenable to me becauss it just makes me cry uncontrollably. incredible album.
Its crazy how alot of ppl cry at this album even without knowing the meaning or story.
funnily enough this was the most haunting album i've ever listened to
I rec soundtracks for the blind if youre looking for a truly haunting experience
@@kiyosh1199 bet, thanks for the recommendation 👌
@@kiyosh1199 or "for Emma, Forever Ago". That album hit something deep within me, especially when I learnt why/where it was written
Usually this isn't overly my sort of music but holy this is just beautiful. The last time music outside my kind of interests made me feel this way was death grips - exmilitary.
SCRAPYARD IS OUT JON!
Whatever this genre is he’s so good at it. Genuinely a musical master piece 😫
It's mainly folktronica, but with some art pop and experimental hip-hop mixed in
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 if this is folktronic can you suggest some other albums that compare to this one? i’m obsessed with it
@@stankguac yeah, for sure!
22, a Million by Bon Iver
Crumbling by Mid-Air Thief
Nurture by Porter Robinson is similar but with more EDM influence
Person Pitch by Panda Bear
I,I by Bon Iver
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 it’a crazy man it feels like it own genre
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 crumbling is so good
Still can’t believe this was the guy who disused JJ
Quadeca should honestly compose movie soundtracks at this point
"I don't fade to black, I cut to static"
With what sound does the last song end?
What is, "static"?
Been a fan of yourself Jon ever since rock reacts but I can’t express how much I love that you have now fully embraced not just rap music but also every type of music. People around where I’m from don’t look at music that deeply (well at least openly) so I love tuning in to see your reactions and it seems we have similar taste!! Wish you the best of luck in the future Jon!
Cause the amount of work you put in, no one can argue that any success you achieve is not well achieved (I don’t know if that made sense but sure look just thought I’d finally comment and say that.
I miss rock reacts ☹️
I swear to god I hear new things everytime I relisten the album it's soo good
the amount of details is beyond insane
People who don’t like quadeca don’t like music
fax
Sometimes his lyrics don’t hit for me, but without a doubt he is in the top three instrumental music producers alive 100%
what about his lyrics don’t hit?
Anyone think this sound like if pheobie Bridgers and frank ocean had a baby? Obviously not comparing the talent here but just the vibe that’s what I get
THIS IS AOTY
JUST INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL
Album of the year. I had high hopes but man this blew me away
Light 6.
@@bailey3276 ur not fantano bro
AOTY without a doubt. Quad really set the bar to an unreachable height
AOTY is a big stretch but it's still beautiful.
@@clack1727 naw its easily aoty contender, its just that nobody wants to admit it because he's not as popular or well kown in the industry, they still see him as the "youtube rapper kid" when in reality he just made a masterpiece and nobody wants to admit that to themselves
i still feel like it has a small amount of missteps that i don't hear in albums like the forever story, hellfire or ants from up there
it's my favorite out of all of them but that doesn't mean it's better than these other three
@@swimsvg1855 I have little knowledge on the fact he's a "youtube rapper", nothing wrong with my statement as it stands. I simply prefer other albums over this one. Would say the same if he had 10x the popularity.
@@clack1727 its all good i wasn't speaking on you specifically, i was just making a general statment about how others might perceive him and the album, personally i think it might be my aoty
This album is legitimately unlike anything I’ve ever heard so if anyone even brings up the fact he came from UA-cam as a criticism they cannot be taken seriously. This is some serious shit right here
Now the last piece of the puzzle is the fantano review.
Then I can have my opinion
NOT GOOD
"The production is immaculate, the songs are catchy and the beats are beyond anything we've heard this year. I am feeling a light to decent 4 on this one."
anticipating a 7 dk why, i don’t think he’ll like the outro
@@liamburke66 maybe, but I feel that if he understands the story of the album, he might appreciate it. Idk tho, I'm feeling anywhere from a strong 7 to a 10
Insane album, was waiting for this video to drop
Strong sigur ros and Bon iver influence, and at times weirdly death grips (most notably knots)
Bon Iver + mid air thief + m83
Yes to all three. Getting a lot of panda bear / early animal collective as well. Some discovery in some textures. Big jonsi vibe though. You're on the money with Sigur ros. A lot of the mv reminds me of Sigur ros videos as well.
New Type Of Sound For Me, But I Can’t Lie… This Is One Of The Most Beautiful Pieces Of Art I’ve Heard In A While. { Recommend Listening With A Headset }
Stop using capital letters for the start of every word

The evolution from his old UA-cam rap to Album of the Year is insane
Amazing body of work, just imagine how hard that was to make in all aspects. Really touched me on a deep, highly emotional level where I’m questioning my whole existence
The production is almost Phoebe Bridgers / Frank Ocean Level, aswell as for the storytelling
I hope quadeca is doing okay fr, he seems very different to the kid we saw just years ago
Just wanna say cut picking up hands is my favourite song.
That song is about seeing his mother after he has died and reminiscing about his childhood. Also how he wishes he was able to talk to her, live with her and just let her know he is there Theres a lot more too it have a look on genius
Quadeca absolutely killed it this is beyond amazing
This was the first album to genuinely give me chills and also make me emotional holy shit

If JMX has done anything for me is getting me to know quadeca through the disstrack he has done With him, and I can't lie i knew he had it in him since the beginning but it is very satisfying to see it happen
Fractions of infinity is my favorite song. That melody is so fucking amazing. Wish it was used more throughout the song tbh 😌
Either if you like it or not, this might be his most sincere album by far, and I appreciate that
I can't fully understand the concept but when I do, I know this'll probably hit me as hard as tpab did when I figured it out somewhat. From future me; thank you for this experience Quadeca, and ily Jon.
I don’t think you guys realize, the noise is intentional. It has to be, paranormal entities communicate through inconsistent means. The overproduction is intentional. They’re just out of reach communication wise but they can manipulate radios and things that have EMP frequency. That is found in old houses. I think a lot of people let that kind of go over their head. I’m tired of people saying that the lyrics aren’t great, they’re from the fucking perspective of a ghost they’re supposed to be inconsistent spread thoughts.
Once I heard Born Yesterday when it dropped I knew this album would be something special from Quadeca.
Sorry wtf have I just listened too. Almost feel bad not listening through him but I couldn’t stop watching your reaction as seeing how the production effected you was also a gripping emotion for me to feel as well. Mind blowing.
Just gonna say this now.. Sorry4dying is his best instrumental and opening track of all time.. crazy
you should react to pixel path and chaos now by jean dawson its amazing and currently my aoty and pretty similar to this in a sense
Guys, no one comment. There are 420 comments.... (wait..)
Danny brown killed his verse way more than he should’ve
this project just transcends me, makes me feel like I'm in a luca guadagnino movie... literally obsessed w the sound he created w this
YESSSS the reactor I was waiting for!
Fantasyworld was INCREDIBLE
Don’t give me that he’s a UA-cam rapper kind of criticism if you’re judging or scoring the album on that premise. Quadeca just went full super saiyan and with this album, he probably has cemented himself as one of the god tier artists of modern era. This album is straight FLAMES 15/10
Quedeca's Progression as artist is so fucking unreal.

This album was such an enjoyable experience first time through and I’ll still be floating on the 100th listen
This is my first time ever listening to a song by him and I’m an utter mess rn
why does no one talk about how "knots" is one of the best songs of 2022
It’s ok
you can watch the life leave his eyes as the album go on

beautifully haunting album
Been waiting all day for this to drop hahah
I think I am gonna employ the only listen to one single if that before listening to the album. I think it might lend to a better listening experience for the album. Thanks for the idea!
So voice memos is regular rapping
From me to you is melodic?
IDMTHY this is Folk?
Its all art
Album of the year. Its just that simple.
quad is officially one of the goats now
Definitely the best artist to ever come from UA-cam. In general, he’s in my top 5 at the moment.
I listened to it this morning, never really paid attention to Quadeca before but I’m paying attention now
thank you quadeca for this incredible album, and thank you jon for the incredible video
Lil Rosie helped shoot w quadeca for the films

it’s such a beautiful piece of work
QUAD DID
Can you please react to RAYE her new song with 070shake is so good
Don’t mind me was a heartbreaking listen, hits hard with the lyircs
Been a fan of his since a chrismd diss track in like 2017. I knew there was something special there but I didn’t expect this. He’s reaching something untapped here. Love to see it
This better get a light to decent 8 at least from the melon
