  • I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get into when jumping into this album. What I found was beautiful. Masterful. Abstract. Emotional. Whimsical. Powerful. Friggin' awesome. It reminded me of one of my all-time favorite albums, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel. This was a worthy listen and will definitely be in my album rotation for a while.

      same. I've watched every single one and still can't get enough. I highly recommend Jon Denton's reaction of Ants and all the other BCNR records if you hvaen't already watched those. But there's so many good reactions out there but he's the first that came to mind rn

      So few of them. The YT reactors are always following each other, chasing viewers and trends. Maybe it'll change when one of the big ones (Justin Hawkins?) jumps in.

    I couldn't stop hearing the David Bowie influence on this album, especially Issacs vocals its wicked. You need to listen to their first album 'For the First time' its my favourite album of the decade easily, its a more sinister post rock album than this one (if you'd call this album post rock im not sure)

    Loved your reaction! If you want you could check out their Live At Bush Hall album, full of new material without Isaac. It's really good.
    Also black midi is another band to check out.

      Totally agree, cant decide if I want him to do Bush Hall or their first album first. The video for Bush Hall is so good though

    I’m so glad you got to this album, it’s one of the most special beautiful miserably enjoyable albums I’ve ever heard, their first album is also amazing just less so in the miserable way and more of an angsty way but because of that it makes for some really fun and more hyper moments that aren’t in Ants From Up There, Sunglasses was their first single for the album and also the song that kinda really sprung their popularity I’d strongly recommend that one if you don’t just listen to the whole album. Love the vids Walter keep it up you’ve been my fav reactor ever since I found you because of Gizz

    I played this album for my parents and they were really into it.
    The intro reminds me a lot of Phillip Glass.

    It was such a pleasure to watch you listening to basketball shoes for the first time. Subbed.

    I'm glad you also got the ItAOtS feel a bit!

    you should react to their first album, “for the first time” its a lot noisier and i think youd really like it :) you should also maybe check out black midi’s album “hellfire” if youd like

    Haldern to me feels like a wide shot in a movie at night of a quarry being run by an Aznazon-type company

    For the first time is also an excellent listen though a bit more experimental

    I'm in my 60's and honestly think we may need to go back to the mid-1970's to find a better album. The repeat listen value of this album is off the scale.

      It was late at night 😂 I’ve actually listened to it quite a bit since.

    It’s not a concept album though. An album having a concept does not make it a “concept album”. The songs fit certain themes, but they aren’t overarching or tell any sort of distinct story.

    • @aaronapitius4775

      the distinct story is about a failing co-dependant Long distance relationship which also is a metaphor about the mental health and reasons behind Isaac leaving the band. Thats the theory.
