E was the first drain gang project i ever really enjoyed - got me to understand the appeal and then go back into their history. lovely & humorous video on a great album!
Best thing about E being amazing is Ecco still has more coming in the future and whenever he does decide to release another full length we all know it will be incredible. He’ll just keep getting better
@@sinaklsindre2831 forsure, he's not afraid to express his feminine side and it's inspiring, the same can be said for Bladee in many ways too actually.
Fun fact about Security is the melody is lifted from Mechatok's track 12 Years and interpreted for E. Theres a really solid mashup of the two that works really well.
I’ve been struggling with drug addiction for several years now and this album has been the most accurate depiction of what it feels like and I always go back to it when I spiral. I’m so happy I found this music and this community, I love Ecco and all of you 🤍
A detail I felt I've noticed about E on the many times I've relistened in the past couple months is how in some places the love and drugs become one in the same. He expresses feelings about both of them being something that he keeps going back to, and is addicted to, no matter how hard he tries to tell himself he can control and regulate. He pleads for his lover not to take him back again the same way he falsely tells himself he can stop the drugs whenever he wants - he needs these things to stop for him because he cannot stop doing them himself. The phrase 'Love is a drug', has never felt clearer than on this record for me, and the duality of these lyrics is what has been so interesting for me as part of the listening experience. Great video by the way :)
I randomly found this album on CZcams and after a couple days of it seeing it in my recommended, I finally clicked on it because it just looked so interesting. When I listened to it my mind was blown the entire time. It was also perfect timing because I was dealing with addiction at that time and this just felt like such a perfect expression of those emotions.
I was kinda hoping you were gonna talk about the bonus track Life After Life. It's my personal favorite track off e and I gotta say how it changes the ending really struck a chord in me.
i saw ecco open for yves tumor in la and met him behind the venue after the show where he was greeting fans, i dont think ive ever like joyfully bawled my eyes out before that night😭, i got to hug him and tell him how much his music has saved me and he was so kind and understanding and gave all his attention to me, e is literally my favorite album of all time, like words cant even describe it, it's an adventure but its so emotionally intimate, it feels unsatisfied but yet what it's expressing couldn't be expressed better, it's like one of those powerful dreams that you think about all day the next day because of how overwhelming and new it made you feel, like i could literally go on and on forever it's just straight up a masterpiece
blue eyes is really bittersweet in a way, like the sun coming up after a long and painful night and finally you can let it all go, but it still hurts to do so. crazy thing with blue eyes that even though there's a lot of screaming and sad lyrics, you feel like ecco should be angry or sad but you can hear that he's smiling during his screams
Peroxide has been my topped listened to song on my spotify wrapped two years in a row :) I can't get enough of Ecco2k. The live set Ecco2k did last year is one of the greatest live things I've ever listened to
this is definitely me when im at the bus stop but likee aaa powerline is a god intro to the album i love it so much. songs to leave ur shower on to. besides that security is one of my most fave too
i'm not sure if anyone's listened to the CD exclusive (life after life), but basically it talks about hope for the future - at least in my opinion. it's both on youtube and spotify (but posted by dose) and concludes the album in a much lighter way than blue eyes
was hoping you would say something about Life After Life as I think that one is the real "closer" here, but its not on streaming services so I guess that's why you left it out?
Good video. I'm ngl, I'm not that crazy about e as I am about GTBSG era Ecco, but it's still a really pretty album that I like a lot. Art pop Ecco is cool but my heart lies with shit like HOLDMEDOWNLIKEGRAVITY or his verse on eBay.

e will age so good over the coming years. Probably ahead of it’s time.
@@deliverus6856 yeah I’m hip to those artists and channel 🔥.
e is definitely ahead of its time
dude watch pixie music will be popping in 4 years
Not really no

Seeing Ecco2k live was practically a religious experience, easily the most compelling performer I've ever seen.
I need to see ecco before I die of crippling addiction
drain gang religion
can't wait to see him in 2 months!!
@@noralie3295 ME TOOOOOOO >:3 will be flexing in Saint-Petersburg eeeeeeeee

thtat shit nevef happening
I don't wanna come off weird, but Ecco, and particularly his music, has genuinely made me question my sexuality lmao.
He kinda defies the borders of sexuality in some way.

E is probably the best Drain Gang project tbh
Its definitely the most accessible, definitely top 3 for me
@@poofithing what your other 2 favorites?
Tiger is another impeccable project.
i wouldnt agree with it being most accessible, but fs the best @@poofithing
Definitely

why do i relate to this comment so much oh my god...
This dude is in love
E is definitely my favorite pop album of the 2010s, it really is in a league of its own compared to other drain projects.
album that will be remembered as one of the greats over time for sure
I was kinda hoping you were gonna talk about the bonus track Life After Life. It's my personal favorite track off e and I gotta say how it changes the ending really struck a chord in me.
Definitely the best beat/instrumental
was about to comment this. It really ties the album off on such a different note.
blue eyes might be my favourite off of the album even though its so intense its also really melodic
So much music has already been inspired by this, I’m hearing samples left and right, and even the mainstream has picked up themes from this project.
who in the mainstream
In the mainstream? Any proof

So glad to see this pop up. PXE music was amazing as well
i cant eat but its nothing
cant go to sleep but its nothing
always something but its nothing
out of nowhere into nothing
😊
‘Time’ is 100% my favorite track on the entire album, and one of my favorite songs ever.
Listening to Ecco2k is like drinking Ice cold water At 3AM
Best description of his music
Great video man, I've never really payed much attention to the lyrics and I feel way more connected to it now
the final song is Life after life it's not avaliable on streaming platforms but you can listen to it on soundcloud/yt or on vinyl
The e symbol has been my insta bio and WhatsApp status since this album came out.
Can I get a trophy please
yes

loved this video, you are the like only music video essayist who's videos don't make me want to kill myself.
God i love this video so much, I love you
Love you too 😘
unbelievable, i was literally hoping to find a video with this exact title and not only did i, it was made by u the very dude who introduced it to me
ngl I be listening to this album at least once a week since it dropped
hell yeah, perfectly timed this video for the height of my obsessive drain phase
I love the intro and the song on it, a true hip hop fan
this album just gets better after every listen
e is one of the strangest and most creative albums ive heard in a long time and i absolutely adore it
Sugar & Diesel is the song that stuck with me the most off the album
e was q breath of fresh air for me
He is back!
That one synth on Calcium (sound desigm similar to Climbing by Thaiboi) gives a welming feeling of stress
beauty sleep e and pxe will forever be some of the most important pieces of music to me ever, and i think ecco is probably my fav artist ever
℮ is a top 10 album of all time
this is definitely me when im at the bus stop
but likee aaa powerline is a god intro to the album i love it so much. songs to leave ur shower on to. besides that security is one of my most fave too
Why is that Viper quote about lyrics a legtimately great quote to go by?
can't believe its been 2 years already wow
I'm glad people start to understand e and give it the credit it deserves
Bro I was JUST listening to e this morning as I took a shower how
I can’t wait till you make one of these for my music.
BABE WAKE UP 108 MICS DROPPED A VID ABT DRAIN GANG
Aaa powerline and peroxide has made me transcend since I first heard it.
e is a fucking modern classic
ecco2k video essay. my favorite genre.
This video is a masterpiece! Now I can show my friends this video instead of me poorly explaining it!
Cant wait for the next projeckt
My favorite album
Very good music from Ecco, hopefully more peeps will listen to it soon 😎
e is a mathematical constant and it will constantly be godly. Truly the future of music
I got my hands on an E CD at the beginning of 2021 and it was the only thing I listened to for months
drain
E is prolly my favourite Draingang Album.
@vague W
blue eyes is my favorite song in a long time
How has it been over 2 years already lol...nuts
it truly is
The Calcium Show me love remix is the best song ever, objectively
Been listening to it a ton recently. Wish Fruit Bleed Juice was a full song + Hi Fever should have been on it.
got that 2nd burn yuhhh
yes
yes. e is a fucking masterpiece
Yes
The best DG LP
from the first time i listened to calcium and sugar diesel i know it would be my favorite songs ever
E truly is a masterpiece
