A conflicted masterpiece. This debut collection of amazing EDM tracks features some phenomenal moments that are timeless and full of magic. It also delivers mediocre EDM tracks with strange features as it sets out to do the exact opposite hoping to dismantle the formula of EDM. It ends up in an uncomfortable mid-point.

Heyy i want you to watch the goodbye to a world - animation short film
Goodbye to a world is easily a masterpiece
So happy you appreciated fellow feeling. You gonna react to his new album tomorrow?
boi, nurture is out now. you know what you must do.
Everyone clicks on Goodbye To A World?
goodbye to a world will always give me goosebumps
Such an emotional cut.
Fr I just heard it from the among us Tiktok and my body started tingling like wtf
I always cry listening to the song. Probably doesn't help that my first time hearing it was moving away from all my friends lol
Goodbye to a World reminds me of my aunt and my grandma.
My grandma died in hospital while I was at work, on my lunch break, the one day I had left my phone at home, so instead of getting to say my goodbyes in person I just got to hear the doctor talk through the process of turning off her life support over my boss' cellphone.
My aunt comes in to this by the fact that she still, 5 years later, has a voicemail from grandma on her phone from 2 weeks before she died, where all she does is irritability tell my aunt to call her back so they could work out details for Thanksgiving.
The movie Coco made me a sobbing mess, especially at the end, as I thought about my grandma, and I actually got a copy of my grandma's last voicemail just to hear her voice again (which also reminded me of the Cyanide & Happiness comic with the mom calling her son's number over and over while crying over a newspaper with his obituary).
Goodbye to a World is like someone took all those various thoughts and tidbits from my mind and made a song, where the tape has been played and rewound so much that it's starting to fray, the player is running out of power, and that last connection to someone I'll never see again is becoming nothing more than a glitchy, decayed memory.
And that just took me fifteen minutes to type out, I was sobbing so much. But that's good. It's always better to cry than to not feel at all.
@@justanornalintrovert514 Even out of context its a masterpiece
Finally someone that gave Fellow Feeling the recognition it deserves, its literally a masterpiece!!
It genuinely is!
i cry everytime i listen to it.
So sad that you didn't get Divinity because this song of those that changed electronic music in 2014 (it practically set the direction for future bass, which only recently began to fade into the background) , but i like your reaction and glad that you listened to this album, thank you
I didn’t really know that song had that much of an impact! I don’t really have much experience with EDM besides the radio stuff so the experimental tracks were vastly more impressive to me. Thank you for your comment!
This statement is so wrong lol. Future bass dates back to 2010 where an artist named burial started incorporating modern basses into his normal garage music, then later artists like rustie, RL Grime and Hudson mohawke pioneered the first ever pure future bass style. From then it evolved slowly until artists like flume and cashmere cat pioneered it into the modern future bass we know today. Divinity has nothing to do with it. And the whole story was made up by a bunch of Porter fans lol.
@@marnotreally btw really enjoyed your reactions man. I'm glad you didn't just fawn over every single track just because it's a bit different, like a lot of people do. Its great that you were actually analysing each tracks for what they are. BTW, if you're really interested in actual experimental electronic music (unlike worlds), I'd suggest you check out some recent projects from KOAN Sound. Tbh, artists like Porter Robinson aren't really underrated when you come to realise people like KOAN Sound, Culprate, Ekcle (the new future) and many more exist. Their (KOAN Sound's) Intervals above EP was absolutely stunning. They have such a unique style that I cannot name a single song that sounds even remotely like the ones in that EP. Even if you're not doing a reaction, I suggest you check that out. Also, their debut LP, Polychrome, is also a stellar piece of work, with a few of my all time favourite electronic tracks (Viridian Dream, the zulla, jongmyo & cobalt).
@@jacksonjames6071 lol , you changed the comment and copied it from wikipedia ahahahha, you wrong, because I said that PORTER GIVEN DIRECTION TO THE FUTURE BASS, not creating it, I know Rustie and Flume created this, the future bass of Flume sounds more like the future beat, slow and may be relaxing, the future bass of Rustie has a lot of glitches and synths, they do not accentuate attention to the drop, which Porter did in Divinity, Flicker and Sad Machine, this songs have a Progressive House stracture, he started using stacked continuous SAW chords witj teh Growl Bass underneath and it was this future bass that became mainstream
@@dewkiid5952 dude I literally edited it cuz I wrote "2000" instead of "2010" and that was a typo.
I think a lot of what's missing is the context. In today's context it just sounds like good music, but when it came out, EDM was very stale. Porter's music also took a complete 180 with this album and no one could believe it was made by the same person. It was so moving that there were many people dedicated to recreating the live show experience without much of the source material. It probably sounds a bit stale currently because a lot of what's popular now stemmed from this style.
If nothing else, I recommend relistening to this with the visual aspect. The music actually only tells half the story.
You're absoluletly right. Took me too long to make the connection oif EDM pre Worlds and after Worlds. I got to appreciate it alot into my daily life through lots of listening and more research.
Why does goodbye to a world make me cry sometimes it’s just an ending to a album but it just gives that feeling
What makes it special for me is, the whole album gives nostalgic memories, of your life. While Goodbye to a world, Brings back nostalgic memories of listening the album journey, for first time.
this is video deadass the only full reaction to this album on the internet lmaooo
as someone who is been a longtime fan and follower of porter, glad you enjoyed parts of it - the album isn't perfect but for many fans (especially people solely listening to music in the context of massive edm festivals) this album was a game changer ^_^ projects that introduce us to new dimensions of music or new ideas always mean a lot to people no matter how flawed, novelty and nostalgia is powerful drug lmaooooo
Oh this album is amazing, don’t get me wrong. It really is just conflicted. The high points (all the tracks without features) are INCREDIBLE. It is still a game changer and I can see that as someone who isn’t even that big of an EDM fan. Good music transcends genre and this record is a classic, albeit a conflicted one.
Such a fun album and such a fun reaction! Love how in depth you go with what you like/dislike/love about the album, the passion about the music and personality are soooo fun to watch, it’s amazing!
I definitely understand your frustration with some of the more predictable tracks in the album. If it helps, one thing that might help contextualize the poppier tracks on the album is the time period back when Worlds first dropped. Those mid-tempo synth pop tracks definitely resemble a LOT of formulaic edm in recent (maybe the past 3-5) years especially, but back in 2014 the sound felt like a fresh departure from the Festival House and Hard Dubstep sounds that were absolutely dominating the edm scene (and Porter had himself gotten stuck into being expected to dj/make those dubstep & high paced, noisier dance sounds because of how popular his previous Spitfire EP was back then). So at the time, the placement of each track and feature on here, to many, felt a lot more unexpected and imaginative. Not to say it’d all never been done before, but even the anthem-friendly, lyrical, world-building tracks on here felt a ton more “Whoa is this even Porter/EDM?” at the time. Nowadays the more sing-a-long friendly songs on here sound eerily similar to the expected Future Bass formulas that Porter and this album, as well as Flume, went on to inspire (Illenium and pretty much any huge modern edm artist today, while still amazing, come to mind) but seeing it from the lense of being made in a completely Skrillex and Martin Garrix-style dominated era and setting the tone for the rest of the genre’s decade might help make those tracks more enjoyable and understandable
I’ve come to realise that from all the comments! It seemed like I would have appreciated this a lot more if I had contextualised it in the year that it came out. But even then, I didn’t know as much about EDM or even music for that matter as I do now. Isn’t it fascinating that even tho the featured tracks feel a bit stale now, the solo tracks are still phenomenal and untouchable? Wonder why those sounds didn’t catch on. Probably because they’re super unique to Porter.
This is the review I needed in my life. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. So many songs give me chills every time I hear them and the feautured songs, while good on their own, do not stand up to his solo works on the album. This video made me happy
Thank you dude! It makes me really happy you liked the video! His solo material is out of this world.
Sad Machine and Sea of Voices are my absolute favorite tracks hands down. Sea of Voices is kinda self explanatory, it's just an ear orgasm. I like Sad Machine mainly because of its story, and how the music accompanies it so well. I'm probably biased because Worlds was one of the first albums I've listened to when I was acquiring my music taste, but this is one of the best albums and critic scores don't even begin to justify it.
Yeah this is one of those albums where I can see some things I would have preferred to be done otherwise but, the critics don’t do it justice at ALL.
@@marnotreally definitely... hope to also see you react to Nurture when it finally comes out, or any of the three songs Porter released recently 😊
Love your take on this!
One thing about this album is that it paints a story from the first to the last track, regardless of feature or not. Since release I have well over 100 plays in its completion and cannot listen to individual tracks because to me it is one masterpiece as a whole. I've never even thought of individual tracks as better or worse than each other, the "weaker" ones just add to the overall anticipation and flow of the album. And oh how it has aged amazingly..
This album really is special! It continues to impress on repeated listens. I’ve recommended it to many friends since. I come from a different music background when it comes to narrative album and I still can’t seem to pick up on a decisive narrative.
Could you elaborate on what you mean a track-to-track narrative? That’s one of my fav story telling techniques and many of my fav albums utilise this. I’m just not sure I see it here.
@@marnotreally maybe "narrative" is the wrong word. just the pacing and intensity of the songs :).
although maybe i have created my own kind of narrative after so many listens...
That happens to me all the time dude. I’ve begun theorising and stapling together intense narratives to things that I’m sure the artists didn’t plan. I’m sure they appreciate us loving their art this much hahah
You should definitely listen to his Worlds Commentary on spotify! It gives you a bit more insight into what Worlds is to Porter :D
I also highly recommend listening to his newest songs, as well as his second alias, Virtual Self (It's kind of like a rebirth to 90s - 2000s trance/techno music, it's really really good)
I saw the commentary stuff but had not delved into it yet! Virtual self sounds really interesting though, I could see why he went with an alias.
@@marnotreally VROO you need to check Virtual Self Out, the EP including Angel Voices are just 6 songs, pure euphoria, melody and emotion, i would like to hear your thoughts on it too :)
very cool review, worlds is my favourite album and youre one of the few reviewers who actually try to understand the songs, i can really recommend you to listen to good faith by madeon, its only 35minutes long aswell :)
Going on the list! I still have a hard time choosing what’s worth making a video about and what’s not. Thank you for your suggestion and comment! I try my best because I know how much music can mean to other people.
My personal top three (I’m no music expert just to keep in mind)
- Sad Machine
This was honestly the first song I’ve heard in the whole track, and I instantly fell in love with it before deciding to listen to the rest of the album. The one think I liked about this song are the vocals, the mix of Porter himself singing alongside the robot is a cool concept. Along with that, the main melody is very much catchy as well. Plus it feels like there is a story present in the song. If I were to critique this song in any way, I would say that it does kind of repeat itself a lot, but other than that, it’s my #1.
- Goodbye to a World
Goodbye to a World gives off so many moods for me. Sad, nostalgic, warm, happy, lonely.. I got kind of emotional first hearing it. Especially when listening to it when you’re home alone, looking out the window as it rains outside while sitting on your bed. I cannot describe how much I enjoy this song. It is an amazing grand finally. (Another cool thing about it is how Porter literally decides to kill off the robot as well. Showing that this was the end of an adventure) If I had to critique this song, I feel like the beginning part, along with the vocals are a tad bit too long, along with the actual EDM bit at the end being waaayyy to short. But overall, I really enjoyed this song. #2
- Fresh Static Snow
Fresh Static Snow didn’t really have an emotional impact as much as the first two, however I still enjoyed this song nonetheless. It felt like there was also a story behind this one too, and how there were rough sounding noises pared up with soft ones too. Overall, great song. #3
If I had to put in some honorable mentions, I would say Sea of Voices and Flicker are very good as well.
Man I just smile the whole video, I really like you enjoyed the album, Porter is such a great musician and Worlds is my favorite album period, it just changes the way you see electronic music and it's potential. (Sorry for my bad English :) )
Your English was great! It’s my second language too so please don’t apologise, you’re doing amazing. Worlds opened me up to EDM in a way I hadn’t really considered before. Porter is an absolute talent.
You should listen to Porter's newer stuff, I'd love to hear your thoughts on them!
That will definitely be among the newest videos I make!
Brooo, you have to watch the new second sky Porter Robinson performance lol. This video and Fantano's world's review are sampled as a visual during Divinity lol
I mean, it's just for a second, But just know that Porter probably watched this video
fellow Feeling is one of the best songs of that decade.
Hands down. No doubt about it
Hands down. No doubt.
Goodbye To A World is a masterpiece. It's so beautiful and peaceful, even when the music gets really loud and intense. The song feels comforting, but also sad. I can't really explain it. All I know is that this song is amazing.
Top 3 PR songs in my opinion
1: Mirror
2: Flicker (live edit)
3: something comforting
post nurture edit:
1: Trying to feel alive
2: mirror
3: look at the sky
If you think you've felt this album through just the songs, try watching one his WORLDS live performances. Touches to the tracks here and there and an absolutely stunning emotional ride.
I am SO glad I found this video and got to witness the absolutely spiritual experience of hearing Fellow Feeling for the first time :,)
These reactionbs are precious to me for that reason. I still watch Tabby's IGOR reaction from time to time. Music is such a vulnerable, human thing.
Hope you do a stream reaction to nurture man. It's going to be an incredible album considering the meaning behind it. Great to be able to see someone's first reaction to worlds feels like I'm hearing it again for the first time.
The Worlds Live versions of the songs are a totally different experience
So I’ve been told! Can’t wait to experience all of that!
@@marnotreally Definitely check out his Worlds Live set from his Second Sky festival. AMAZING
WORLDS: THE MOVIE is the best one imo
@@ekoms108 that's not official though, is it?
@@oru yes it's official. It's the live version
Honestly in the album goodbye to a world is my favorite
It just gives you a vibe lol
Honestly fellow feeling is where I’m at rn, always have been. What a track.
Man i remember when it came out in 2014. I was fucking 14 years old and I fell in love completely. Still my favorite album of all time.
Also, you definitely have to check out Porter Robinson Worlds live videos, trust me
I've tried re-writing this comment like 3 times because I can't put into words what Porter's work means to me. While I agree, some of the features haven't aged very well, Worlds as a whole changed the way I listen to and connect with music. It came out when I was in middle school and wasn't listening to much outside of commercial EDM, so this was a game changer for me. In the seven years between Worlds and Nurture I expanded to more genres and artists, but this guy just knows how to make music that brings me to my knees. Gonna watch your Nurture video as soon as I'm finished with this one. (Justice for Divinity btw lol)
Just stumbling across your channel from this. Glad you enjoyed it!
I think you should listen to the album ‘Adventure’ by Madeon next. Almost every fan of Porter is a fan of Madeon and it’s actually really heartwarming as to why: they’ve known each other since teenagers (Porter 14, Madeon 12) on an online music forum, making music together, then gaining their own independent success!
Madeon is certainly so fascinating to me. I need to explore his stuff. I recently moved back home again so when I get set up, I’ll get fully back into videos and streams.
I know I'm a little late but die hard porter fan here I wanna bring up a couple points about the album! First of all, since Fellow Feeling is your favorite track I wanna explain the story, for it made it such a better song when I found out about it. As an artist, porter stressed when this album came out, that it was him breaking out of the norm of subgenera (electric house) that he felt he was tied to by his fans. Listen to early releases like say my name or spitfire to hear the style of music he refers to. I think that's what it means when wikipedia mentioned "breaking the formulaic components of edm. Anyway, back to fellow feeling it seems clear to me that the strings in the beginning of the track symbolize what it was that he found beautiful. The track progresses and a voice appears, claiming "now please, hear what I hear" and plays a bit that's very off tempo, and out of key, and fundamentally unpleasing to the ear. I think that part is him expressing how the style of his old music sounded to him. That wasn't the music he wanted to make. The end, combines the chords of the strings, with the electronic aspect that he was tied to (four on the floor, snare on every half, with a classic buildup right before), to create something that still will keep some fans engaged, while staying true to what he finds beautiful. He manages a way to find balance between those two styles. This is shown in the lyrics, "I cried, for I didn't think it could be true. That you and I might have always known one another. And that we can not only evoke, but conjure a place of our own." I think that is super cool he was able to find that middle ground. If you like fresh static snow, check out "fresh static snow visual remake" on CZcams. It's a remake by a random producer of the FSS live version he plays at his "worlds live show'. It's is truly wonderful and the only one live version that I like even more than the original (although I do LOVE FSS). Also, Divinity is one of my fav tracks by him. IMO it is one of the key tracks in worlds along w Sad machine, Flicker, FSS, Sea of Voices, Fellow Feeling, and Goodbye to a world. But you have your own music taste and are fully entitled to your own liking (:. Last point, the ending of Goodbye to a World where it sounds like the system is crashing is representative on the symbolism of the "Worlds" album, in that it symbolizes escapism and being able to escape into another world. For porter, one of his key escapes was Starwars Battlestar Galactica MMORPG. At a certain point the game got taken down and the crashing computer sound symbolizes the end of that world in his MMORPG, along with any other alternate worlds that anybody has lost (Like the end of this album for example). Idk if you made it this far but yeee I love porter and I'm excited for his sophomore album coming 4/23! His side project Virtual self is inspired by a whole other style of music, particularly Dance Dance Revolution and is super cool music if you wanna check that out too. Only one EP for Virtual Self. Loved hearing your review and I'm glad you enjoyed the album too! left a like on the vid (:
I always love seeing people react to this album because the listen front to back is so awesome especially the first time through. Also a good reason a lot of songs from the album sound close to modern radio edm is because this album set the trend many of them have followed. Youd be hard pressed to find a modern edm producer who wouldnt call porter an inspiration to some degree
It’s a shame I hadn’t learned about porter earlier. I am starting to see what you mean and tracks that I didn’t care for now seem to take a different light
cool hair. subbed.
p.s. goodbye to a world > everything.
MAN, NURTURE JUST CAME OUT, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT
Video recorded. 1.5 hours of it. I can't wait to put the video out and share how I feel with all of you.
@@marnotreally YESSSS thx
man, re-watching this vid made me realize that i should recommend you his Virtual Self discography (that sadly are just 6 songs for now) the EP+Angel Voices, cause you really seem to like the more experimental/melodic stuff. give it a try before Nurture comes out in the meantime :)
Flicker, Fresh Static Snow and Fellow Feeling are my three favorite tracks from this album. It brings me so much joy to see you feel the same, BECAUSE THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING AMAZING BUT ALL THE GOOD SONGS START WITH THE LETTER F AND WE KNOW IT!!!!!!
Goodbye to a world will forever be one of my favorite songs of all time. Found the song at a very dark time and would listen to it 24/7, everything good now, great reaction btw.
You are now technically a part of nurture live, congrats!
My guy, this was an awesome reaction! Keep up the good work!
Thank you dude! I appreciate the kind words.
i’m surprised you didn’t like Divinity, it’s definitely my favorite on the album. i feel you on the rest of the features though, they aren’t bad but they aren’t as good has his solo songs.
you should react to the music video of Shelter by Porter Robinson and Madeon next!
I thought I’d like it more on subsequent listens but his solo stuff is just too good in comparison. I hope that it’s not the one with all the crying!
Hey man I just seen Porter tonight and your video popped up in one of the segments he did. 🔥🔥
Watching you react to this brought me so much joy. It brought me back to when I first heard Porter Robinson. Worlds was my first experience as well. I'm sad that you didn't care for Divinity, but to each their own. That song has a special place in my heart. The other features I still love because they're part of the full experience. They're not necessarily the best songs on the album, but I say this album is an 11/10. So even if you take away a point for those songs, I'm still saying 10/10 album.
Now go listen to Shelter, Language, Get Your Wish, Something Comforting and Mirror. ;)
It just didn’t really impress on me as much as it would have had I heard it when it came out. The featureless tracks remain untouchable though
I think you'll like madeon's adventure LP
Awesome review and I hope that you listen to Porter's new album nurture that's coming out later this year.
DEFINETLY will be making a video about it! Porter's solo material is incredibly exciting.
Very much appreciate others who have found this masterpiece of an album. Got to see Porter on one of his last shows on the Worlds tour years ago, mind blowing
Great reaction. Anything by Madeon like good faith would be great. Porter and madeon made a song called shelter with an anime attached. It's their most well known song.
Greetings from Norway. Came back to this video after watching your Good Faith video to remind you to listen to Nuture once the full album releases. I enjoy your reactions and extensive breakdowns.
Thank you! I try my best to give you something more than just a reaction. As someone who watches a ton of reaction stuff myself, reactions don’t really cut it anymore. I prefer opinions and discussions. Looking forward to Porter’s new work!
When he said "A Talented Weeb" I felt that
Now we want virtual self and madeon, also you should see the shelther video
i'm kind of bias with this album cause if my favorite of all time for the moment, i listened this when i was a teenager, it really hit me, deeply. i can't even tell you how much i love the whole concept, these scenarios... my favorite track is fellow feeling, the way i can't hear it without crying. Anyway, you got a point about the collaborations in this album, but porter did not make this album to be popular, like at all lol, most of critics like you saw were rough with this masterpiece and that's okay
I agree with you that FSS is a masterpiece and Fellow Feeling is the best track in the whole album, but in my humble opinion I consider Sea of Voices, Goodbye to a World or even Natural Light as masterpieces as well, apart from Flicker.
I think there's a general level of artistic mastery and control that the solo tracks have, making them more enjoyable for me as a listener.
Sea of Voices will always my all time favorite. IT just gave me new world. This is what music should be. Move you into the unknown. Befitting for the title.
I remember hearing just the intro violin melody in "Fellow Feeling" for the first time. In the moment, I was convinced it was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard.
As I too am a huge fan of porter, you should definitely give a listen to madeon’s good faith album!! As it’s more dance and I think you’ll like it!
I’m looking into that as well as tame impala for the next couple of videos! Thank you!
Urph no problem! Hope you like them:)
please react to madeon's album "Good Faith"
Is the connection between Madeon and Porter only because of Shelter or is there more to it?
@@marnotreally there was more to it. they were childhood friends. they never collabed until they worked on shelter
@@bastebruno Oh, gotcha!
I feel the need to defend Porter when youre saying that a few of these tracks sound like mainstream EDM. This was not even close to the mainstream in 2013-2014, but he pretty much made electronic music go toward that direction.
Don’t know if you read the comments on this vid anymore but and EDM album I really like is Neo Wax Bloom by Iglooghost, I feel like you’d really like it based on your other reviews and this one.
Keep'em coming. I read as much comments as youtube allows me.
this video is legendary
Enjoyed the vid, hope to see a reaction to Nurture once that's finally out!
Wouldn't even dream of missing that one!
You should see his live set, it's fucking amazing.
There’s a surreal magic with electronic live sets. Nothing beats a good live techno set for me and EDM/electronic channels the same energy.
I will always love this album ❤️❤️ I had the same reaction the first time I listened when goodbye to a world was ending, it’s just a fitting end
it's good to see how the world can make people cry in one go, felt a great sense of connection and relief thanks
A vulnerable moment for me that I allowed to be on here for that reasin. It's honest. Glad we shared this together, so many worlds away.
Now that I finished the video honestly you should check out virtual self (again his alter ego) its friggn awesome but there is soooo little of his music:
You can have too much of a good thing.
@@marnotreally I suppose so but man I when you want to hear a particular genere but cant find more, it can be pretty frustrating lol. People say its akin to ddr.
I don't know why, but everytime i hear this song it's dificult to breath and i cry
ok, i know what an opinion is, and i know that your opinion has much more legitimacy than mine, i'm not any kind of music theorist, i just like it when the porter man makes the wub wub sound.
but i have to ask:
𝘩𝘰𝘸 in the 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧'𝘥 𝘧 𝘶 𝘤 𝘬
do you not like divinity?
Hahahahaah I like the wub wub sound as much as you. There were other wub wub sounds on the same album that appealed more to me. I don’t hate it, I just like it a little less than the other ones.
@@marnotreally valid.
Urph please listen to the singles for Porter's new album "nurture" I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT ALBUM!!!!
I will not spoil that album for myself. Full reaction review when it drops
so glad you got down to all my favorite songs! Fellow Feeling is 11/10 top of the list! i want so badly to see this man live. i've already missed two tours and now covid is making concerts impossible. :c
also, i bought this album on vinyl. dont ask why, i dont know. but i did.
The funny thing is that with this album, it opened a lot of doors to how electronic music could be made, from using actual instruments, flipping a genre over its head, making grand sounds, and most importantly, adding emotion to an album. If it wasn't for this album, EDM would have never made it as far as it has today.
Here's some EDM albums that I personally enjoyed:
Apashe - Renaissance (this man wrote a piece for an entire orchestra to play, and used it as a sample, combining both trap and classic instruments together to create this badass album.)
San Holo - album1 (Although some of the songs have some sort of commercial sound to em, this album has some amazing moments that I definitely recommend. He did a remix for Porter as well!)
DROELOE - A Matter of Perspective (two artists, one who does 3D art and one who does the music, set their vision out in this album. Although it has a lot of features, every song has its charm to it.)
RIOT - Overkill (this album is as over the top as it gets, as it is a "in your face" dubstep album. However the amount of dedication to each song to tell a story between humanity and a threatening force. Again this album may definitely not be your cup of tea.)
six impala - WFLYTD (6 artists collab to make an album together, and you have the most wild album out there)
Goodbye to a world is where he broke the mold, I love it so much!!!
I can only listen to this album occasionally cuz it makes me just want to cry
such a great reaction vid. instant sub. followed your twitch too. would be interested to see you react to his newer music as well!
Hey man thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Hoping I can focus more on CZcams since my living situation currently isn’t super live stream friendly.
Experiencing Fellow Feeling and Fresh Static Snow live was amazing.
You should listen to the Spitfire & The Thrill & Language on WORLDS: THE MOVIE. You can download it on sound cloud. It's great.
My fav album of all time
Loved the reaction, I'll suscribe ❤️
Thank you for your subscription! I’m so glad you like it!
I've always said 'Flicker' is my favorite song on this album, but in all honesty this is one of the few albums that i listen through in it's entirety. Such a great artist, and an incredible album!
Why am i the only who cry with ONLY this song even everytime i listen it
-me explain good bye to a world to my friends
His live edits on Worlds album is better than original in my opinion
definitely
I think both are so different yet the same. While worlds feels more nostalgic and experimental, Worlds live is the here and now, live the moment thing, a little bit darker and astonishing
I don't count anything Porter does as 'mediocre'. His unique stuff is so good, it just made me see the glory in his more formulaic stuff. It still stands out.
This is cool that you reacted so cool!
I’d like to see you do it too!
Sure!
Porter Robinson is special to me, as weird as it is to say. Most EDM I like because it gets me pumped, because it's good to vibe to. Emotional in the sense that I can feel good and vibe. But his albums break the mold and just get me fucked in so many ways most EDM can't. Obviously I like all the fan favourites (Sad Machine, Shelter, Flicker) But Fresh Static Snow? Something Comforting (from his latest album) and Goodbye to a World along with so many other songs are just raw, evocative and genuine in a way music sometimes just can't. It's not hyperbolic to say I've been moved to tears listening to his music many times because I truly feel a lot of the lyrics and the music, whether pounding and loud or soft and subdued, amplifies the experience. Porter Robinson is such a damn good artist and I love Worlds so much. It's amazing seeing people who have no idea what his musics like reacting to it and being introduced and, I know it's a bit corny, I'm so glad you loved it dude
,,goodbye to a worls,, is one of a kind song that you want to litearly BLAST into your ears
Nurture only has 3 songs out so far and they’re all incredible, easily my favorite Porter Robinson songs ever
I think you're gonna like my next video.
@@marnotreally Oh shit Nurture review, I’m hyped
People forget that EDM is made to be listened on festivals while you socialize with others, thats why its simplistic and formulaic, its built around an experience for the audience, the entire relationship of having the buildups and the drops and the more calm parts is all thinking on the experience of the audience.
If the songs were 100% just a repeating beat, it wouldnt be appealing, same if they were 100% just a populated energetic drop
So it goes up and goes down in energy and sometimes even in bpm so people have the time to concentrate on jumping up and dancing but also being able to talk and to zone out in thw audiovisual experience
EDM has been walking hand to hand with pop for a while not but it is not pop
porter man... everytime i listen to his music its always make me cry :).... so beautiful....
Goodbye to a world give me a vibe of suicidal
I was not prepared the first time I listened to goodbye to a world, it DESTROYED me.
Goodbye To A World and Sad Machine are my absolute favorites.
4:19 I couldn’t agree more! I would have loved a Vocaloid-only album, but that’s also my own childhood bias coming through too lol
I know this is an old video now, but the cultural impact this album had that went almost completely unnoticed, is astounding. Tracks prior to this release always sound flat and bland and predictable. Worlds sounds incredibly big, emotional and thoughtful. Then you turn your attention to modern tracks after Worlds and the entire dynamic changed and everyone started improving their mixing and ideas in their tracks. Porter Robinson is the EDM underdog that barely anyone knows about. He stays out of pop culture intentionally, yet he managed to change the industry for good. Pretty impressive really.
It is a 10/10 album WITH the features included, you just need time to process how good they are.
I was crying his whole worlds tour set. Most amazing set ever
Come on, Polygon Dust is an absolute masterpiece... Lemaitre's music is amazing, and this combo with porter is just incredible.
I do think you are a bit confused, maybe.
Divinity, while great, wasn't what broke the Album out. Sadmachine was.
Man the negative guy in the chat had me groaning. I listen to edm but i. General I will get tired of the same songs after a while but ive been listening to porter for years and I STILL listen to it regularly.
His music honestly inspired me and im sure it inspires many others.
What bums me out is that we don’t have more music like porters or his alter ego virtual self, which is even harder to find music like it.
Also was surprised by those review scores being so... average...
I don’t know much about music critics since I don’t watch or read music reviews, but it really makes me feel like music critiques are pretty snobby lol.
I definitely see what you mean. I’m moved towards not scoring albums in my recent reviews and even when I do, its to be taken with a grain of salt. A critic’s opinion is merely an opinion, it doesn’t reduce the power, impact or meaning of the creative work. It really is just based on feeling. This album in particular was amazing, and I’ve returned to so many tracks dozens of times from my own playlists. Some people just don’t like EDM the same way some people just don’t like hip-hop (my goto genre).
I’m so glad you found inspiration in this wonderful music. You seem to be on the right path of not letting critics shape your opinion on music and that’s really amazing.
Only a few months ago did I start listening to albums without reading reviews and found that I often disagree with critics. It’s why I didn’t want to see WORLDS reviews and was sad when I accidentally glanced them. I still feel like I was able to come with my own opinion though. I still think the tracks without features are timeless masterpieces and the ones with features to be great but not much more than that.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment and I hope you keep going with not letting people’s opinion hinder your enjoyment. We could all take a page from your book. When I do these videos it’s more about the passion of sharing excitement and having a deeper thought about the stuff we consume without being pretentious, snobby or disrespectful.
@@marnotreally no yeah it was totally fun to watch you react to the whole thing. By the way I found if funny that you look like you could be the cousin of a friend of mine lol.
@@JustGromski the main reason why Worlds got an average rating is because of the poor production quality. Some tracks were clean but overall the mastering was horrible (A lot of sounds used were grating on the ears and in some tracks, the volumes of each components were too much on the same level, which kinda resulted in some sounds being drowned by the others.). Besides that, everything is good.
am I crying ?
No, I was.
Give flume album skin a listen or madeon's adventure
Goodbye to a word makes me feel like running away and freeing my self from this world and pain...
URPH LESS THAN 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!
A bit late to the party but, I needed my time. Video recorded and I'm editing it now. Nurture!!
Divinity is Power, raw and undiluted
Sad Machine is Hope, raw and fresh
Years of war is Rage, painful and intense
Flicker is Escapism, free and wistful
Fresh Static Snow is Loneliness, deep and consuming
Polygon Dust is Confidence, healing and energetic
Hear the bells is Understanding, fulfilling and wholesome
Natural Light is Joy, gentle and uplifting
Lion Hearted is Defiance, righteous and protecting
Sea of Voices is Wisdom, non-judgmental and guiding
Fellow Feeling is Serenity, relaxing and therapeutic
Goodbye to a World is Acceptance, calming and sorrowful
This song makes me cry
