วีดีโอ

your reaction reminds me a lot of my first listen to this album, just insanely cool and catchy tracks across the board!

One of my fave Martin songs is ' Fall On Me' for David Pfeffer which he had by the time I attended a seminar of his.It is such a great song still, 13 years after meeting him. All the best to you.

Love it! Where did you create this Demo Reel? Canva?

Really elegant and heartfelt performance! Looking forward to sharing the stage with you at The Asbury on 4/5!

Part of Your World was part of my childhood.

👏 Don't forget old acquaintances.

❤TONES AND I. Always ♥ Tones. and. i.

i love your reactions❤️ new subscriber here! you should analyze folklore by taylor swift🙏🏻

“You didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor” what a line. Did you watch the Driving Home 2 U version when she uses looping equipment and bangs on a guitar for percussion? Did you listen to her new song Vampire?

This is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time… shoutout to The Weeknd 💯🫡🎶

The first song is so bad I almost did not get to the next one, which is quite good, especially after a minute and a half. Very bad grandmother church choir feel. Fleet Foxes did it so much better.

Meter and structure analysis is awesome and super interesting. I guarantee you, though, that there was zero thought about meter or devices while writing. It's 1000% instinct and influence that is analyzed later academically.

Small note here -- in Emily, Bridgers is employing an AAABCCCB rhyme scheme in her verses, so the near-rhyme you're calling out (talk and Montreal) probably isn't part of her formatting (in which talk is near-rhymed with lost). The near rhymes in that song (concrete/screaming/spiraling) are in fact amazing, which is what matters. I too am obsessed with the record.

So helpful thank you for doing this series.

I just have to add this because it has actually become my favorite part of $20. At the very end you hear Julien belting what kind of sounds like nonsense, but I decoded it, and she is singing: "Wait on me, I'm not ready. I still have to change, have to change, have to... Wait on me, I'm not ready. I still have to change, have to change, have to-" 💔

You're gorgeous and bubbly, i love that ^^

too many TS reactions focus on her personal life and lyric "easter eggs" rather than her musical artistry. as a longtime TS fan i'm grateful to have reactions like yours!

i'm not a songwriter but i like musician reactions and your analysis is easy to understand even for a non musician like me! love your energy and enthusiasm :)

Great album except for the Leonard Cohen song by Lucy :/ Quoting Cohen's own song "Anthem" and using his melody lines, but at the same time calling him an old man (he was 55 when he wrote that song), and reducing his transcendent words to "horny poetry" is so so wrong lol. Also not sure what Buddhists think about Lucy insinuating that going to a buddhist monastery equals having an "existential crisis" as she writes in the song. Maybe for an atheist any spiritual search looks like a crisis. As you can tell this one really bothers me, lol. But I love other songs here.

My favorite album of 2022. Batshit is in my top 20 all time.

Letter To An Old Poet is like a Me and My Dog part 2! The connection is beautiful

Great reaction. Really enjoyed your informed take on the album.

On the vinyl version, the "waiiiiiiiiiting" line is a locked groove so it just keeps going until you stop the record player. It's so creative and really capitalizes on the unresolved musical theme running throughout this album.

I love, love, love how sweet and encouraging your attitude is. As an amateur songwriter you made me feel at home, and I already felt that way with this album! Keep doing you, and I’m subbed and will be following you for the next one!

I really loved your analysis! "We're In Love" is actually a song about their friendship and platonic love for one another which I think makes me love the song even more

So much songwriting tips! Thank you for this!!!!!

i always love your analysis

This is a really great analysis. There was some online drama from another reactor this past week with some really lazy takes, but this really does a great job of highlighting how good some of the songwriting choices are. Instant sub, looking forward to seeing more from you. I love how much fun you’re having with it.

your reactions and analysis are so good i love it <3, btw keep up the good work!!!

Top stuff and a sub from me stay safe.

The 1975 is a White Chick Band...but I like this album.

Just showed an 8th grade class this video, great job Dano, they loved it!

Imagine if MJ was still alive he would most definitely be on this album as well

You're so amazing. I love your content.

Taylor is a songwriter and lyricist before she is a singer, her thing is story telling

Ahhh this made my day! Thank you for the kind words, Dano! Really glad you like it :)

7:14 Wow I didn’t even think about the productive repetition thing in curious/furious. That’s so true!

We want more Taylor Swift contents 💜💜💜

Really loved the album and your awesome reaction :D If you wanna go a bit deeper into heaver-ish songs, you might want to listen/react to I Disagree by Poppy (the album was co-produced by the same producer as the one from coping mechanism).

I love that the album starts with the chaotic piano with The 1975 and ends with the chaotic piano at the close of When We Are Together. Definitely a cherry on top for an incredible album. Also, great video!

the repetition of the first letter reminds me a little of some lines in A Praise Chorus by Jimmy Eat World.
