And I think the album is hit or miss because her fans were looking for sad girl music when she had her comeback. Her coming with an upbeat 80s sound was not what they were looking for because some see her solely as an artist to get emo 2, + u guys were right most of this album is about her relationship with being an artist esp since she was not going to come back to music and dropped this after a 3yr hiatus
i never really looked too much into mitski's life even as an avid fan of her music, but watching this and listening along to the album with rico and primo with the context of her wanting to retire from the music industry... damn that really puts a different spin on things! and with the land is inhospitable and so are we, im so glad she didnt retire.
You’re absolutely right. Which I don’t understand in general, I think the album captures a perfect balance of edge/darkness and the 80s pop culture vision. It’s ok tho, it’s everyone else’s losses. Laurel Hell is a beautiful art piece.
56:40 That's totally true. Laurel Hell was a very divisive album when it was released mainly because its sound is very different from Mitski's past albums. Lush and Retired from Sad are very piano-based, with more "obscure" sounds, while Bury Me at Makeout Creek and Puberty 2 are more rock-punk and guitar-based. Some people say that Laurel Hell ain't that good because of the overuse of the 80s sounds and the usage of synths kinda misses her sad-girl image. It's funny to me cuz Be the Cowboy already had many synths and it was such an acclaimed album. Another important piece of context is that Mitski went into hiatus for 2-3 years after releasing Be the Cowboy, so Laurel Hell was expected to be her big comeback, and people probably expected something more similar to Puberty 2 or BMAMC, but instead was very different from her previous albums. Personally, I love Laurel Hell. Imo it's great to hear Mitski revolve around different genres and it just feels kinda wrong how underrated Laurel Hell is!
i always think of her albums as like twins. for example lush with rfsncib, bmamc with puberty 2, and be the cowboy with laurel hell. i guess its bcus of the type of music given within each albums
@@pinkupongs I completely agree! I believe Mitski once said that she usually works on two albums at the same time so that's why they seem to be "twins"
I remember I became a fan right as Laurel Hell dropped and omg??? Like I don’t understand how people disliked it because it was and will always be my #1
Mitski was a film student for more lore about working for the knife! She didn't pursue it but its obvious in her mvs and I think the knife is just government/modern society.
yeah guys, u nailed this one. I also love what she did with the instrumentation from some of Laurel Hell songs into her new tour. Like Valentine, tExas. Dammn u should try and listen to one of her The Land.. tour videos. Patrick is still mastering those sounds. He's a maniac.
One important thing about The Only Heartbreaker is that she wanted to portray a relationship where she (or the listener) is the only one messing up bevause they’re the only one trying. While the partner isn’t. She said this in an interview, and I definitely looked into it lyrically and I think I only found one instance bc she also said she tried to make it more of a subtle or deeper layer. In the “I'll be the water main that's burst and flooding // You'll be by the window, only watching in” is the lyric I think might be somewhat overlooked but a perfect example where she’s broken and causing flooding, but the s/o is merely watching, not worried, not looking to fix anything
I love that we can see the difference from when you were listening to mitski for the first time n now. It was just vibin but now u guys r fr tryina figure out the poetry. Also love that we can listen to the whole song w u guys now.
The reason why it’s such a hit or miss because of the massive change, normally her other albums consisted of alt, punk, rock, indie, and some different genres of pop, but laurel hell is consistent of 80s pop, and that’s what threw a lot of people off because it didn’t had any electric guitar in it really and it had more synth then she ever used. Me personally, I like the change, her 80s pop era was the best era‼️‼️
Mitski ranking: 1. Retired from sad 2. BMAMC 3. Puberty 2 4. The Land is Inhospitable 5. Be the Cowboy 6. Lush 7. Laurel Hell I still like Laurel Hell but Mitski's discography is just too good. Also Should've Been Me is about being cheated on but from a perspective of understanding and when you relisten through that lense it adds a whole other layer to the song
curious what yall would think about rina sawayama, specifically the production elements! from a brittney-like pop bop to a screaming nu metal song, i think she has some good variety! also, girl has a whole political science degree from cambridge and ends up making what she does, real interesting!
personally its so difficult to rank her albums. i have a different relationship with each of them because the genres are so different from each other. the lyrics hit different too, i swear they change meaning every time i listen to them. anyway so glad yall enjoyed this one!!!
9:54 yeah my grandfather has been a mechanic since he was 30, now at 63 hes on social security and still doing mechanic work for his friends and others so we can get by, its a sad truth in america
The reason this album was a hit or miss was due to a few factors, This was released after Mitskis 3 year hiatus because she had one more album with her label she was with but after she planned on quitting/retiring. Another fact is some mitski fans are so used to her acoustic style albums like Puberty 2 and BMAMC. This album was more spunky, upbeat and a drastic change from her other pieces of art!!
WOW I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS IM GLAD U GUYS LIKED IT a few things: - I think a couple reasons why a lot of mitski fans didnt like this album that much was because it came after a 3 yr hiatus and it didnt rly fit the sad girl music people wanted to see from her. also, what I see most people complaining about is the production (people say its over-produced, whatever the heck that means. I personally think Patrick did an amazing job) - also, for the only heartbreaker, that song is about how when only one person in a relationship is trying, only that person can make mistakes. here's what mitski said about it in an interview: "[It is about] the person always messing up in the relationship, the designated Bad Guy who gets the blame. It could simply be about that, but I also wanted to depict something sadder beneath the surface, that maybe the reason you’re always the one making mistakes is because you’re the only one trying." - my ranking: laurel hell, puberty 2, BTC, TLIIASAW, and BMAMC - congrats on your new space and primo im sorry about your past relationship :"( - id be interested in seeing your reaction to Conan grays new album found heaven!
it departs from her usual sound in some ways for sure but i think it's an amazing album - for sure was surprised when i first heard it bc it was simply not what i was expecting but the mixing and all the sounds she uses are as always amazing. quickly became one of my fav albums of hers - if u listen to her albums in order u can really tell how the quality is gradually getting better and better, don't get me wrong all her albums sound amazing but she's definitely going UP in that aspect with every new release. u can really see her growth both musically and thematically bc she's been doing this for a while which is really cool!
i like u mentioning the theme of fire in our lamp it's definitely an ongoing theme in her discography, personally i really love how it's used in "a burning hill"(puberty 2)
my personal ranking of the mitski albums you’ve listened to so far is… BMAMC > TLIHASAW > BTC > Laurel Hell love all those albums but i would insert Puberty 2 2nd in that ranking so you need to get to it immediately! Great video guys.
Please I've been watching the whole album reacts which were amazing. Yall had nice opinions also. I'm asking if yall can go lower albums which has more deep meanings. Maybe Retired in Sad New Career in Bussines
I would love if you guys reacted to Lana Del Rey, 'Born to Die' album! I know last album you guys didn't enjoy it as much, but I really enjoyed your honest opinions!!
puberty 2 laurel hell the land be the cowboy lush bury me retired from sad i listen to mitski alot and i got to say seeing her in concert was the best night ever i literally own all her vinyls i know so much about her lol
PLS LISTEN TO PUBERTY 2, THAT ONE IS SUCH A FUN LISTEN!!!! to answer your question during shouldve been me, i think that the fans dont view this album as that good because it doesn’t compare to her other ones. I personally love this album but comparing it to the other ones its rly not anywhere near the same (popularity wise). This one has at least 3 repeatable songs where as every other album has basically no skips
where did ur billie video go 😭alsooo u guys should so listen to Chappell roan's rise and fall of a midwest princess!!! please!!! and if u do u should also listen to her single good luck babe!!
Mitski Nerd is perfectly fine! 😂 People hate on this album cuz it's introspective, more 80s, less rock, more dancey- ig that's why... I personally rank this in top 3 from her. Love this album! ❤
Thanks for reacting to laurel hell. I think this album is usually not the favorite of most fans. My personal album ranking would be : 1. Lush 2. Retired from Sad, New Career in Business 3. The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We 4. Puberty 2 5. Laurel Hell 6. Bury Me at Makeout Creek / Be the Cowboy
I hate that Camilla song too, she is trying to copy Charli XCX and even Charli xcx and her producer made fun of it. Charli made a tiktok to her song that Camilla copied and AG Cook her producer called her production cheap
I love all of her albums, but if I had to rank them it'd be something like this: 1. The Land is Inhospitable and so are We 2. Puberty 2 3. Be the Cowboy 4. Bury me at Makeout Creek 5. Retired from Sad, New Career in Business 6. Lush Tbh they're pretty much on par with each other, but trying to be more "objective" (using quotes since there's nothing more subjective than music) I'd say The Land is her most solid project so far, while some tracks from Lush are a bit boring Puberty 2 was the best before the release of The Land imo, great songs
We know you weren't a big fan of lana, but i think you should give her another chance. You should do Born to Die, Lust For Life or NFR. her most upbeat catchy album is Born to die, Lust for life is more hiphop influenced as it has Asap and carti on it. NFR is a fan and critic favorite, people deem it as her best, however it does have a 8 minute song but its perfect.
please do puberty 2 im at top 1% of mitskis listeners and istg when you listen to like the album retired from sad or listen to thursday girl, youd get why its not a top favorite like dont get me wrong i love dancing to this album but its not as good as be the cowboy.
I kinda find it Emberising that y'all are so concerned on puberty 2 but not lush or rfsncib and some mitski fans don't like Laurel hell because it sounds more up beat then the others
Can you guys do Troye Sivan's album for pride month? He was a youtuber before becoming a huge singer. The album is Something to Give Each Other and it got some music videos
@@RicoandPrimo Also, Charli xcx just released BRAT the album and it been highly critically aclaimed and Camilla Cabello has been copying every move from Charli and she even copied the simple cover design to promote her album 😭. Fantano gave it a 10
As a Mitski die hard, my rankings for the albums would be (from best to least) Laurel hell Puberty 2 be the cowboy TLIIASAW BMAMOC Lush and RFSNCIB are both equally tied and I can’t give them a proper ranking 😭
You're edging us for Puberty 2
I know it's actually killing me
Well, Mitski described stay soft as SEX-DISCO-TRAUMA lmao

yeah guys, u nailed this one. I also love what she did with the instrumentation from some of Laurel Hell songs into her new tour. Like Valentine, tExas. Dammn u should try and listen to one of her The Land.. tour videos. Patrick is still mastering those sounds. He's a maniac.
Patrick is goated
Mitski's albums are so storytelling both audibly and with the amazing lyrics, she has yet to miss every album is amazing. Cant wait for puberty 2
