Hearing brad say this sounds terrible and then watching his expression change is prime quality entertainment
pauline when does he say that?
i was mistified at 13:30
I mean to be fair at the beginning of Ode To The Mets that mix is really weird but by the end it cements itself as my favourite song from 2020
@@hakonhakon9002 me too hahaha
I guess when it had an electronic vibe at the beginning he must've expected something funky and when it was not he thought its terrible. But he right away accepted the song for what it's going to be and enjoyed it. That reactions really really good though 😂
"this sounds terrible"
famous last words
There's a great reference here.
I love how quickly he realizes he in for a journey.
*immediately changes opinion*
D.a.n.i emo b-gone
But intro really sucks tho 😂
Brad: It sounds terrible.
Me in my head: Give it 5 seconds, you're not ready for it.
ikr
I hate the first 30ish seconds of Ode
The rest is amazing
Ignoring that.. I honestly give the album a 10
30 seconds isn't enough for me to take away even half a point from such a great record
zachangle8 that’s the point
Brad: it sounds terrible!
Brad one second later: *NUTS*
I actually love the beginning of ode to the mets
@@lucs028 I don't like when the synth clashes with the guitar, but the mellotron or whatever it is is beautiful
eternal summer has proven that the music world is divided with the brads and the fantanos
mymocs61 agreed.
Yes
Exactly hahahahahaha
I loved eternal summer, fuck Fantano!!! He has no idea what he’s talking about!!!!
I literally thought the same thing. It’s crazy how different perspectives are
“Sounds terrible”- GETS SUCKED INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION
the fuckin beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep and then the zoom at his face got me 🤣🤣
Why does it bring me joy to see someone else enjoying a band you love
that is why reaction videos are so popular, people like when other people like what they like (y)
Music is such personal experience by yourself but there's something extra special about sharing music, whether it's dancing with someone, playing music with other people, or even just listening to music together, which this video is kind of like. :)
@@MusicalRocky that makes sense I'm glad to see that people with good taste in music still exist(:
The relatability. It brings us together. Especially when we feel alone.
That's because you feel like you're not alone
13:29
"This sounds terrible"
3 seconds later:
*Ascends*
Best part of the video 💀💀😂
why would he say that though, it sounds really similar to 2:53 and he liked that lmao
@@faberquidam bc it was extremely dissonant in Ode to the Mets so it didn’t sound good. Eventually paid off though yeah
@@faberquidam because the synth and guitar in ode to the Mets are deliberately completely out of time with each other
D r u m s
P l e a s e

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I love that
That Gives me chills!!!
best
Love that
@Giovanni Paradiso waiting for me
You edited out your reaction to “Drums please, Fab”
"Ode to the mets" is like a wine, getting better and better with every minute. I had the same reaction for the first 15 seconds. It's my fav song of the album, alongside "The adults are talking" and "Eternal summer". There aren't many artists that can convince me to listen to a whole album. The Strokes, Old Arctic Monkeys and Matt Maeson did it.
You haven’t listened to Stone Roses Sec titled album have you ?
Give Tranquillity Base Hotel And Casino another chance
@@mohammedgouigah3094 na fam
Love that you mentioned Matt Maeson!!! Such a great lyricist!
Favourite worst nightmare>Whatever people say i am> Humbug>Am>>>>Tranquility and Suck It and see
Ode to the Mets start:
Brad: Sounds terrible.
Me, twitching because that’s my fav track: Okay.
My fav too
Same, but the way he changes is hillarius
Lol EVERY song on that album is a fucking 10.
Oh, he did not say that! 👿
I'm just here to see someone finally praise Eternal Summer.
Fucking AMAZING song. Literally amazing.
“This is so crispy man!” Lol
@@greghan450 that did make me laugh and i sooo agree that song deserves all the hype the perfect summer song
Psychedelics , life is such a funny journey.......
the album of the year
*Fiona Apple has entered the chat*
@@theamericanviking7291 her music is shit compared to this masterpiece
The American Viking I just listened to her album after watching Brads review and seeing your comment. It’s insanely good, never listened to Fiona Apple before this. The production is amazing, and I can’t say I’ve heard anything really as unique as the album in a long time. The only thing I will say is that there is this confident kind of bang on the wall, spit in your face kind of vibe with the album that I appreciate, but it doesn’t pull on the emotional heart strings like this new Strokes album did for me. But it was still a really great record.
@@abdoabderrahman9861 Jesus chill dude
ShimmiPenguin no u
This guy has gone full Theon Greyjoy with the facial hair
yo i cant unsee this shit now
REEEEEEK
Selfless became one of my favourite songs of all time
Pleasee don't be looong
Ode to the mets is way better
@@danielapardo9776 cuz I want your looooooove

julieta12 the thirsttt
And smoke weed. I know he does, I'm so sure.
@Dan L dan whyre you going on so many comments are you doing okay? Whats goin on buddy?
@@emmanuelotanez4902 he did in fact, but he’s clean now
i’ve been subscribed to you for over a year i think, but this is the most excited I’ve been for a review. did not disappoint.
NIKKI NASTY I KNEW I WOULD FIND YOU HERE
WHAT U DOIN HERE ILY NICOLE
hahaahahhaha Nikki nastyyy wth are you doing in the comments of this video lol ly btw
omg heyyyy
This album is an instant classic. Also, Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus takes more listen to appreciate more. Every song is amazing, perfect vibes.
I agree, I remember not liking BBtC that much right away, and now it's a classic for me
I didn’t like it much the first time either and now it’s my top 2
Eternal Summer is THE vibe song.
Seriously, that track is so fun to dance to. Killer track.
Alternate title: Brad gets high off of music.
Absolutely
Watch his reaction to Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino lmao
@@sanderaser8886 Or Loveless
Who doesn’t?
Watch his reaction to Ween lmao

Hope this is useful. I just love his reactions to the songs and thought it’d be helpful to have time stamps for each song! Idk why but I just enjoy rewatching his reactions over and over :)
You’re a gem
4:57 When the chorus is so good that your shadow-cursed self comes out and vibe with you for a second
Bad decissions is about how some fans want to the strokes sound like his 2 firts album, thats why they say “i don’t take advice from fools” and “pick up your gun, put up those gloves” doing reference to the black latex glove in is this it cocver and the 2 guns in room on fire cover
Holy shit
What about "Moscow 1972", tho?
Howd u know?
wrong
@@ezlu77 Seems like a reference to the Cold War- Nixon met with communist leader Brezhnev at The Moscow Summit of 1972, which is considered one of the hallmarks of the Cold War detente (a period where both sides agreed to disarm).
I've been subed to brad for a couple of years now. And I've never seen him dance like that...
Lmao & then The Strokes dropped a new mindfuck-heartthrob of a record
Well he kinda looks baked. More than normal
And he put just an 8.5, same as tranquility base hotel and casino, I thkbk brad made a mistake, should ve put at least 9
"this sounds terrible"
*seconds later*
Brad: :0
Underrated opinion, "Why Are Sunday's So Depressing" is my favorite song from the album and idk why. Tho every song in that album is just spectacular
It’s like a hidden gem in a pile of precious metals
THE SYNTH IN THE CHORUS AAAA
same w not the same anymore, my fav( the chorus and ending are amazing )
It feels so substantial like you could physically chew on it for months and not be over with it, every time I listen to it I feels like find something new and also… I love you and I’m honest so you know I don’t lie 😤😤
WHEN THE ALBUM DROPPED I GOT HIGH AND LISTENED TO IT WITH MY EYES CLOSED... DUDE NOTHING WILL EVER DESCRIBE THE FEELING I FELT WHEN THE CHORUS OF ETERNAL SUMMER HIT THAT'S HOW I KNEW IT WAS MY FAVORITE
Please do not smoke weed it’s the devils herb you will go to hell
SAME
Your reaction to Ode to the Mets earned an immediate like and subscribe. This was such a fun video to watch for someone currently obsessing over this album.
I hope you don't like Hot Fuss.
@@zynel413 I do 💀
I loved all your descriptions of everything as you're listening, I was smiling the whole way through hahaha. "That's all you need, dude, just need a little bit of a heartbeat" was my favorite for the drum on At The Door. I was so happy to see you react to Selfless the same way I did. Music is a beautiful thing, isn't it?
ohmsix yeah and I really didn’t like eternal summer at the beginning of the track, but then like 2 minutes in it was amazing
I’ve seen so many reviews on the new abnormal but this review is so fuckin entertaining
I don't take advice from fools.
the reaction to selfless was all i needed god that track is so good
This album saved 2020. Love The Strokes. Anyone feeling a bit down just listen to this again and again.
Brad on Ode to the Mets: "This sounds terrible"
Literally achieves orgasm 5 seconds later as the song starts to blossom and really become one of the album's best songs
Rock isn't dead man its just advanced
@Michael H. You're right I couldn't find a better word but yeah that's a better way to phrase it
Ye
Michael Molina yeah but METAL THO
Michael H. I'm not competely opposed to digital additions to rock/metal. Some tasteful samples can add a lot plus atmospheric synths and stuff, as long as people aren't copying and pasting other music and calling it "samples." But you're right, a lot of people can't just jump in head first into metal, some hard rock albums can be fairly universal tho and can serve as a gateway drug lol. I'm pretty sure metal is one of the fastest growing genres, so who knows, we might have a society of headbangers sometime soon. I guy can dream lol.
@@j.hateshisjob5137 lol
The transition for "this sounds terrible" to 13:38 made my day man
FINALLY someone who gives Eternal Summer the recognition it DESERVES
Can't believe you didn't like Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus, absolute banger.
Facts
Harry Hackman gop 3 or 2 for me
best song on the album
I didnt like it lol
He needs to go another round. This song is so good!
I've learned I can't trust Brad's facial expressions anymore
Could we ever?
@@jrdnsgrarchvs9163 I thought I could but I guess not because by his facial expressions I thought he was hating this at some points
Also, he seemed to think Brooklyn Bridge was the weak spot on the album, honestly I don't think there are any weak spots personally. I actually love that track.
I come back and my original comment almost has 500 likes lol
Don't trust a perfect person
I couldn’t even finish the video cause I had to go listen to the album myself...just hearing the clips of the songs I was falling in love!
How much did you enjoy the album?
M Rivera oh dude it was awesome! it’s slowly becoming one of my favorite albums, i’ve never heard anything like it
@@thomaswilliams2629 have you heard Young Modern by Silverchair?
@@89kilemal nope…is it good?
@@thomaswilliams2629 very good and a bit different also, you should check it out... what about The Voidz?
Your dancing to eternal summer, it’s an interesting song and I enjoyed it a lot too!!
also nice beard
"at the door" its pure magic
At first i didnt liked Brooklyn Bridge, but it grew on me
I feel like this about everything else. I wasn’t super into the album at first, but I liked Brooklyn Bridge immediately.
Davi Schubert this is the only song I skip :/
@@carlossierra2812 SAMEEE
Same
More me this was Why Are Sundays So Depressing
To me, this album is The Strokes "In Rainbows". A great album to show everybody they still got it (also has a similar vibe).
time to listen to the album for the 70th time again
Man, when great bands come back after many years it doesn't usually turn out well, who would say that The Strokes would be an exception. I was very excited with your reaction
I'm almost 60 and I can't stop listening to The Adults Are Talking..
brad taste. absolutely lost in the sauce. he just vibin'
I like your takes
U fell off
After listening to almost nothing but this album for the entirety of the summer, nearly burning myself out on it, thank you for allowing me to rehear it for the first time through you! I feel like I can go back to the album with a fresh set of ears :')
Brad: “This sounds terrible“
Litterally the next second, instantly regrets what he says through facial expressions
Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus is probably still my favorite song on the album. Give it a second listen Bradley, shit grows on you.
Sausage Panda fr
It really grew on me
Grew on me too. Love it now.
mans was vibing throughout the whole album
This was the most wholesome and relatable review i've seen of this album. It was the exact same reaction i had when i listened to the album for the first time!
this guys reaction was literally me the first time i listened to this band. i hated the first seconds of every song and just skipped all of them and then one day i decided to just give it a shot and listen to the whole album and now i’m obsessed with this band. easily my favorite band right now
Grammy-winning album baby!!!!!
they did it ! ..way overdue .
Ahh i love Brad’s vids, he makes his reactions really entertaining
enjoys Bad Decisions
doesn’t like Brooklyn Bridge
*?????*
whats wrong with bad decisions? You wanna fight me?
Brooklyn bridge was def my least favorite song
Keep in mind this is a first listen reaction, over time Brooklyn Bridge kinda set with me and Bad Decisions became the song I tend to skip when listening to the album.
Yeah for me Bad Decisions is worse than Brooklyn Bridge which really grew on me
Jimmy Bonilla brooklyn bridge is my favourite song next to at the door
I’m so glad you’re appreciating Eternal Summer so much lol
fantano was way off on that one
High key upset you didn’t show your full reaction to the outro of “Ode to the Mets.” That shit’s ecstasy
Can we just take a second to appreciate how the lyrics at the end of Ode to the Mets are a series of interlocking sentences? (e.g. at the bottom of *the ocean* now has swallowed *the only thing that's left* is us...)
I was about to flip when he said “this sounds terrible”
Ode to the Mets is my favorite song at the moment. (My favorite song changes every couple months)
that was exactly what i felt with "Eternal Summer"
I think it's the best album I've ever heard in my life
Why did i get so excited when Brad vibed so much to Eternal Summer
When I first heard the album, it brought out so much emotion in me. My favorite track is Why Are Sundays So Depressing?
A buddy at work said to me, "Do yourself a favor, go home and listen to the new Strokes album." My wife and I are always on the hunt for new music, so we came home and gave the whole album a once-through, went in the next room and made love, then came back and listened to all over again. Man alive, do I miss great music. It's therapeutic to the soul. 'Selfless' is an instant classic. Thumbs up on the reaction vid, Brad.
you heard my prayers
edit: pls do more the strokes content pls i love them
I drop by every so often to see your reaction to eternal summer to reaffirm how awesome it is
This album wouldn't have reached me if not for this video. thanks a lot! My favorite videos are the ones where you enjoy yourself.
this made me subscribe just for the sheer taste i’ve witnessed. thank you brad, you prince of a man.
I can’t believe Melon didn’t like eternal summer
I mean, he gave Angelic 2 The Core a Not Good. Can you really trust his opinions.
I’m glad your comment is first lmao
And I can believe this banana didn't like Brooklyn Bridge
I love how in the last third it starts to sound like the Voidz song Johan Von Bronx
@Ludvig B.L. People like validation; it feels good. Don't pretend you've never felt the same lol
13:30 what a great plot twist
I'm glad that we have you around providing content and more importantly company!
Finally, someone who likes Eternal Summer as much as me. Best song on the album next to At the Door.
At the Door also kinda reminds me of an early twenty one pilots song, at least the first half of it, for some reason.
Definitely, both next level and mind blowing...the less they sound like their original sound, the better they get!
It kinda reminds me of Friend Please off of their self titled album
Eeew
I cant even choose a fav. The songs you mentions are very good, but selfless and ode to the metz are masterpieces too. aaaa
true with the tøp thing but also wrong place to mention that
thank you brad. i love people being so passionate about music. i started tearing up when hearing selfless because you made me listen to it like i did the first time. one on my favorite videos on youtube
i love these vids so much cos I just vibe along with you
At The Door is an absolute masterpiece. Fell in love with it at my first listen, heard it a million times and it still hits the same
Amazing reaction, loved your reaction to “Ode to the Mets”. Hopefully you get to react to “Angles” one of these days.
One of my favorite albums that has come out this year so far. I’m glad Brad enjoyed it.
One of the most entertaining music reviews I have seen. I love your energy!
Oh my god. This video resumes all my feelings about The Strokes, my reactions were the same as you, and you made me realize things that I didn't get to understand first time, I love this album and sometimes I wish I could marry it... Is it possible?
Bad decisions is literally the filler song lol. It’s the strokes doing “the strokes” which is not really their sound anymore lol
I agree. Though I will also say I love Bad Decisions and think it’s a great theme song fitting for this year.
My thoughts exactly!!!!!
That song kinda makes me cringe, not gonna lie. I love the Strokes but man it's just such a ripoff.
I think your looking to much into it but musics for the beholder and I sort of agree
White Cheddar88 I agree the album was a bad decision
I come back here every so often to watch him react to Eternal Summer, pure joy
Thanks man. You’re such a down to earth likeable guy. You also make me not feel a weirdo for being so crazy passionate about music
This WHOLE entire album is just a top tier masterpiece!! Still listening to this whole album like if just came out tonight 😭 ode to the Mets was the first track I heard that got me overly OBSESSED with the Strokes ❤️😩 ugh I'm so happy with this review! Loved how you vibed with the album ❤️
"The beating heart of rock."
That's it.
the ode to mets moment needs to become a meme
You seem really happy and in a good place, and that makes me happy Brad. ❤️
Another great review, I love the album so much, Its very re-listenable.
The feel of this album is so dreamy... 🤤 I love it! It may be my favorite Strokes album, and I'm not even sure why, because their older stuff is more in line with my style, but this is just otherworldly...
i love that his first reaction to ode to the mets is the most watched part of this video. I keep coming back to that moment occasionally myself lol
Glad to see you enjoying yourself so much:), you're a good Brad, keep it up!
Brad, of course Sundays are depressing,they're Tyler's suicide days.

So funny.
If I could just get a website that tells me if Brad reacts to songs the way he did Ode to the Mets, I'll be set for life.
Bro! I find your passion for music inspiring... Thanks for reminding me the beautiful joy of just listening to music.
It's so sweet to see you dance hahaha, after all that episode of depression :3 I'm glad you're fine ^^
