    I only listen to this with my best headphones - the soundscape work is incredible and unironically gives me chills. I can feel how much Jakey cares about carrying the listener's attention from point A to point B without ever "settling" for less. His music's meant a lot to me ever since I heard Not Dead Yet, and I appreciate that he stuck with it despite the struggles of production described in this album. I know how hard working on a solo project can be, and I hope maybe he's identified the part(s) of production that bogged him down so that he might get collaborative help with those parts moving forward. Dude clearly has incredible talent and must enjoy some parts of the production pipeline, it would be a shame for that to get limited by the parts that are annoying for him

      I think the through-line of the "I wanna go ADPI" sample representing the lingering suicidal feelings expressed in Drive Off a Bridge is pretty dope. It lingers throughout the EP in an almost creepy way, and is a major part of how it ends in Fat Head. It's the motif of the EP, I'd say.

    Bear with me, i promise this story is relevant to this album.
    I was in a really, really bad relationship this time last year. I struggled internally for over a month to try and find the balls to end it, and I did once but then she tried to kill herself so I got back with her. There have been very few times in my life that I've been so unhappy as I was in the time between when we got back together and when I separated from her permanently, but a few weeks after I got back together with her I just had this sudden calm come over me, so I went out to my truck (so as not to be overheard by my family, who I lived with over winter break) and called her to break up with her. After I hung up the phone, I walked back into the house and sat on the kitchen floor, and opened CZcams to find something to watch. The date was December 20th, and the very first thing on my homepage was the audio for Pine Barrens. I'm not a religious man, but when I put in my headphones and listened to it on the floor of that kitchen I had a spiritual experience. I knew then that I had done the right thing, and that everything was going to be ok, and in the end it was.
    So, Pine Barrens has an incredibly special place in my heart, as it always reminds me of that day when I discovered that I also have power and individuality. So, when I tell you that hearing that verse and the subsequent chorus harmony made me cry, I'm not kidding nor being dramatic. I never thought I'd have a spiritual journey twice with the same song, but somehow you've given me that, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that Jakey. Thank you and Dog Bless 🙏

    If Jakey's only song was Moby Dick, or Pine Barrens, or Not Dead Yet, or Saintlike, then he'd still be an incredible musical artist. Romcom is the perfect evolution of his style, blending that sincerity and vulnerability that has come to define his style with amazing samples, awesome beats, and great music overall. This album is perfect for shallow listening, as well as deep analysis, and Mr. Snakob Jacob must be proud of his accomplishment. 10/10

    For me it was a tree. On the way to and from school, my dad's house, everything. I saw it everyday. It was this ugly ass oak or pine that stuck right out into the road. There was two red reflectors on it. I swear, coming home at night they were eyes beckoning me. Telling me that the voice in the back of my head was right. It would be easier. Nobody would miss me. The pain would go away. I'm still not great, there's still nights when the voice tells me I should pull the trigger but at my worst the tree practically pulled me towards it in my 2005 subaru outback. "Drive off a Bridge" and "Fat Head" remind of those times so much. It gets easier. Cut your tree, burn your bridge. You can do it. I promise you're strong enough.

    When pine barrens was released I was in a really really really bad fucking place and that song was the only thing that made me feel understood. I tried to off myself several times I was hallucinating constantly but even with as sad as pine barrens is the comfort I found in hearing someone say the words I didn’t know how to say myself kept me from ending it right then. I’m still lonely I still want to die but I’ve been here a year longer than I would have if I didn’t have pine barrens to cry asleep to. This album is insane and I’m so glad that I get to hear all of it now. You don’t know me but I’m glad you stayed another year I hope you go another year after this one too

      yeah jakey is fucking so special. I don't have the bravery to put my story into words here, but I really fucking feel this comment. The music, the community, the Christiansen himself, makes me feel so heard and uplifted. It's worth more than what I could type out here. I remember moments over the summer though where I was so out of hope, pathless and with the reigns taken from my hands, and I knew jakey had it still going, My fuckin idol- and He was giving to the world, making it a better place for so many.. That helped me to get up again and watch for the next chance to make a difference in my world.

    Gonna be real with you Jakey, "Reeboks or the Nikes" legit made me cry. I've been dabbling with music for the last 4 years, making countless beats, demos, riffs and clips, spent hundreds of hours just tweaking some minor, insignificant shit that no one would probably ever even hear, practicing eqing, mixing and stuff, and yet I've never actually released or finished anything. I get so into my head, overthink every single fucking thing and doubt myself. I always make couple of versions of the same song with different presets, different drums, bpm, whatever and always feel like it's not good enough. Like it's not finished and that no one will like it, and yet I want my first song to be *good*, I want to feel proud of it. Sorry I got emotional and overshared, it's just that song really hit home. I never really share these things with anyone in my life because no one would really care about this, but hearing your struggles with the same problem makes me feel like I'm not alone in this. Thank you, this album is a masterpiece

I feel like I felt so many emotions, went through the five stages of grief and couldn’t stop crying at some of the songs, I can’t pinpoint why.

    There is so much that can be said about how good this album is. Every individual track is so well made with so much quality and heart put into them but they all work together to paint a hugely personal and emotional picture. Every track feels so intentional, like each one knows exactly how to bring you to the next while still doing its own thing. The way themes and callbacks are spread out over the album makes it so interesting and fun to listen to all the way through over and over. This album feels so personal, it feels like a story more than just a regular album or even a concept album. I'd like to pick a favorite song from the album but there's so much to enjoy in every track musically, thematically, and lyrically that it's a crazy tough call. This music feels as powerful as it is personal, and I think that's a really special thing that artists have a hard time capturing. Really damn good work, man.

Just those handful of songs used to be on repeat daily for me when I was in high school, and it made it even better to watch you and your channel which I have also repeat binge watched like a sitcom from the 90's since you had 250k subs and to watch you grow, and now you finally released this album and I couldn't be happier for you man.

    I started watching your videos in late 2020, as I feel I've started becoming more and more depressed, from one small event of being rejected snowballing insanely, and so we come to this point, where I'm starting to recover, but I don't know how long it will take. You were one of the only good things throughout that time, and I'm so proud of you for making this, even after 6 years of your problems being overcomed enough to finish this huge project. It may only be a half hour long, but the effects this album will have on me will last me a long while. Just knowing that you're part of what helped me recover, and that you got over some of your own pain to finish this just goes to show that there isn't permanent suffering, and that problems can be solved, no matter how long it takes. I'm not a big youtuber, or a philosophical one, or a good one, at that, but I wanted to be entirely serious and step out of my goofy persona to say this. I'm undeniably proud of what you've created here. The references to old topics and videos are such a throwback to me, and just, oh my god, I can't describe not only how proud I am, but how proud we ALL are of you and your feats over the years. From you making videos about video games having sex, to creating one of the greatest albums of all time.
