Hey everyone! Thanks for being here. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Twitter! My handles on both are @Mathew_McKenna . I wanna connect with y'all! Feel free to add requests for reactions in the comments! Much love xx 💜
Everyone has different taste in music but Its refreshing to see a reactor I actually feel is being honest. Some reactors on youtube you just feel that the specific artist is their favorite & it don't matter what the song sounds like they're going to say its good. I'll will be watching more of your vids.
I'm always shocked (and easily irked) when people don't appreciate all the boys of 1D and their skills/talents. I appreciate your honesty whenever I watch your videos, though. (Probably because you don't come off as rude at all and are very kind when you don't like something; 1D fans tend to appreciate that.) A lot of the songs you didn't like were my favorites, but I loved the point you made about albums not having to sound the same. It's what makes Made in the AM one of my favorite albums and I wish more people appreciated the different tastes they all brought to the table. I'm glad you liked most of this (or at least appreciated it)!
Thank you for being honest. 😃 Niall is actually one of the most underrated 1D member and for him to put out himself and just be able to create this album makes me so proud of him so for someone who is a fan of him since 1D I'm still happy you gave his album a shot. Thanks!
I'm a Niall's girl and I'm so proud of him, he absolutely killed it with his album! Please can you do a reaction to Dua Lipa and Little Mix as well as the whole album FOUR or MIDNIGHT MEMORIES by One Direction.
Great reaction !!I think Niall's album is quite simple, chilled and it totally works for me !! I really really appreciate the album.. I think you should check out some of Shawn Mendes accoustic stuff as well..You may like them !!
you should have listened to the deluxe album cause the three extra songs are my favorite songs tbh, like mirrors is amazing....although they are more upbeat so yeah maybe you wouldn't like them :D
i didn't enjoy slow hands on the first listen either, bc i'm not too fond of lyrics that get (too) sexual, but i don't know.. it kinda grew on me, and i actually quite enjoy it now. though my favorites are flicker, mirrors and seeing blind
Mathew McKenna lmao..Well have to do with that then. Btw you did not do the deluxe songs..They're soo good..Idk whether you'll like then or not but they're bombs for me.
I think u only reacted to normal edition of flicker. But You should really listen to deluxe edition. The 3 songs on deluxe are soooo good. Don't miss them. also listen to Flicker on Album coz i love the one on album coz it sounds amazing with many instrument. And I loved the reaction.
Also I just want to say you stop A LOT in between which kinda ruins it. I'd suggest you listen to a good chunk of the music first and then comment so it won't ruin the flow of the music
you should've listened to the deluxe songs as well aaah :P nice video. appreciate the review (even though I dont agree with all of 'em considering paper houses and since we're alone are my favorites ;)
Now i’m definitely gonna listen to the entire album and not just the few i’ve heard already. I need to learn to vary the type of music i listen to and allow myself to learn to like songs and notice the background and the voice itself more properly, and these types of reaction videos have made me realise that
I just found your channel and I've watched several videos. I know you probably don't read the comments, but I already love you and your editor. Your critiques help me look at music I've already listened to in a new light, which I really appreciate. Your honesty makes you easy to watch and connect with, and I love that sort of entertainment. The editing work is beautiful too, so thank you so much. I fully intend to remain a fan of yours, and I think you deserve more popularity. I hope it comes, I'll be there to see it.
That's really sweet of you to say, thank you so much! Funnily enough, I actually read pretty much every comment 😊. Billy is an incredible editor and I definitely couldn't be making content without him. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy the honesty and critiques, I don't see the point in reacting to something if you're going to lie about your reaction, you know? Thanks again, this comment made me so happy! 💜
I honestly expected to comment and never have anything come of it, little did I know I'd hear from the TH-camr as well as the Editor (capitalized for importance :) ). This made my day, thank you guys so much
Flicker is my absolute favourite album and I’m so proud of niall because he never got a lot of singing time and like the album in itself reflects him as a person which is amazing, but then again niall said each song you can interpret it the way suits best
i love how kind you are. there’s obviously nothing wrong with having different tastes, but i hate when people think their opinion is the Only True Opinion, and something can only be good if they like it. you’re honest without being cruel, which is something i appreciate in this age of youtube. thanks for the great videos!
You know what, I literally agree with every single song you liked and didn't like. I think I have a problem with the PRODUCTION this album. If you see Niall perform live, his voice sounds infinitely better. It's like his voice is..."clipped" or something. But live he sounds amazing.
When I first listened to the song Flicker, I repeated it for two days so I can sing along. I was also depressed those two days because that song just.. makes me feel depressed and loved at the same time. I love Niall ❤️
I appreciate that you do such balanced and honest reactions without in any way taking away from the artist's achievement if you don't like something. I think you should listen to the rest of the deluxe version of the album because I am sad for anyone who hasn't heard On My Own.
Okay so I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I accidentally clicked on this video and figured meh I'll watch it. I am glad I did! I enjoyed your review so I subscribed! Looking forward to watching more videos!
it’s funny that you mentioned that his voice sounded edited. i saw him live about a week ago and his voice live is so clean and crisp just like the album. he’s got a great voice.
you should go to one of his shows! i went to one and i swear you wont be disappointed. his voice is HEAVEN and i cried during flicker and fire away lol, i was shaking the whole time because he sounds SO good. his voice is SO SO SO SO much better live
Thanks you for your comments Mathew ! I'm really happy see you again cause you have a really interesting point of view and way to listen ! You are so smily too ! Thanks ! Could you make us discover what songs and type of music you like to hear ?
Thank you thank you for your genuine reaction. My thought is that... I discovered that we have almost the same taste on music. Don't ask for my reaction of flicker because I will only describe using the word: PERFECT
6:27 I agree with your point soooo much. I hate when they add effects to their voices and songs about like sex just make me feel weird. I love most of his songs except slow hands
watching this and the other video (harry's album reaction) is SOO fucking hard cause they're my babies and i'm over protective so i literally have an empty water bottle between my teeth to not scream and lash out on you -LITERALLY-
Okay, that wasn't the deluxe version, and you have yet to listen to On My Own, Mirrors and The Tide, also, that was an acoustic version of Flicker, the album had the studio version. There would be two different sounds there. Anywho, loved the video! It was great! 🙌👍
I don't know if you listen to James Blunt or not, but I'd love a reaction video to him, since he's also been doing music for quite some time, and kind of changed in style during that. Really enjoy watching your videos! :)
Yeah, Niall and Harry are my two favorites of the solo 1D members. Absolutely love both of their albums. Haven't seen Niall yet in concert but I want to. Did go see Harry, and he was epic. He's is an absolute legend at performing live. I know Niall's performance live will be way more toned down than Harry's, but I'm fine with that. I think he will be fantastic live as well.
something that i noticed about the difference between the songs you like and dont like, could it be how legato his voice is? in slow hands and paper house, he seems to almost take a breath between each word. those songs sound almost more choppy. that may have been something you picked up on subconsciously, but im not sure. just a thought!
Another thing, On The Loose now has a music video, and acoustic video. All of Nialls singles(this town, slow hands, too much too ask & on the loose) have music videos and acoustic videos (the exception of this town which does not have a music video) (also, flicker is not a single, but does have both a studio and acoustic version) I apologize, I just went all super fan on you!!! 🤓 I get this way sometimes!!! 😂😛☺️ Have a great day!!!!
Clicked on this by accident. Auto tune? GMAFB. Try watching any of his live performances....no auto tune needed and his range is amazing. PLUS, he doesn't need OTT antics, flashy costumes or schtick to put on an amazing show.
I know I'm late but flicker is my fav of all their solo albums and my most favourite song is fireaway ❤️ There's something i kinda dislike about this album is when they put too many effect on Niall's voice coz when you listen him singing live it's way better and that's the best thing in the world! (Sorry bad english)
Hey everyone! Thanks for being here. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Twitter! My handles on both are @Mathew_McKenna . I wanna connect with y'all! Feel free to add requests for reactions in the comments! Much love xx 💜

Everyone has different taste in music but Its refreshing to see a reactor I actually feel is being honest. Some reactors on youtube you just feel that the specific artist is their favorite & it don't matter what the song sounds like they're going to say its good. I'll will be watching more of your vids.
Do reaction to Harry Styles' X factor performance of sign of the times!

Yaay!!! Thanks for replying:)

BUT SLOW HANDS , THIS TOWN AND TOO MUCH TO ASK HAVE MUSIC VIDEOS !
You know, I actually realised this after the video went up and I felt like an idiot hahaha.
Mathew McKenna also this album has 3 more songs.
NOW ON THE LOOSE

Thank you for being honest. 😃 Niall is actually one of the most underrated 1D member and for him to put out himself and just be able to create this album makes me so proud of him so for someone who is a fan of him since 1D I'm still happy you gave his album a shot. Thanks!

Oh my God! Me too! I love it....
I love mirrors! Especially the message behind the song...
i didn't enjoy slow hands on the first listen either, bc i'm not too fond of lyrics that get (too) sexual, but i don't know.. it kinda grew on me, and i actually quite enjoy it now. though my favorites are flicker, mirrors and seeing blind
NOTIFICATION SQUAD...🙋
you should do Four by one direction..Like the album not just some songs.
YAAASSS Notification squad!!
Funnily enough, that will be going up on Saturday, as a collab with my friend Natalia. We only did about 5 songs though 😂
Mathew McKenna lmao..Well have to do with that then. Btw you did not do the deluxe songs..They're soo good..Idk whether you'll like then or not but they're bombs for me.
Yesssss please do four!!
I think u only reacted to normal edition of flicker. But You should really listen to deluxe edition. The 3 songs on deluxe are soooo good. Don't miss them. also listen to Flicker on Album coz i love the one on album coz it sounds amazing with many instrument. And I loved the reaction.
I did only listen to the normal edition, I didn't want the video to be too long haha. I'll defs be listening to them :)
That cheeky thor ragnarok poster in the background
;D ;D
Also I just want to say you stop A LOT in between which kinda ruins it. I'd suggest you listen to a good chunk of the music first and then comment so it won't ruin the flow of the music
Tiasa Tilak I agree
I also agree
@@ashleysheree7057 I agreee a hundred percent
This town came out last year hahaha it was his first single
Haha god, I live under a rock.
So, I just found your channel a couple days ago, but you're already one of my favorite youtubers. You have a calming presence.
you should've listened to the deluxe songs as well aaah :P nice video. appreciate the review (even though I dont agree with all of 'em considering paper houses and since we're alone are my favorites ;)
Now i’m definitely gonna listen to the entire album and not just the few i’ve heard already. I need to learn to vary the type of music i listen to and allow myself to learn to like songs and notice the background and the voice itself more properly, and these types of reaction videos have made me realise that
Now listen to Liam Payne plz😌😌😌
He's definitely on the upcoming list!
Hell yeah!!!
Yasssssss

Now that's an idea! I've gotten the group chat to cheeky subscribe so you're on your way! Love your work! :-)
Oh and one more thing I love how honest you are about the songs
AWW MATT I WAS HOPING YOU'D LISTEN TO ON MY OWN!!
Gabrielle Acasio Me too! That's my fave

I just found your channel and I've watched several videos. I know you probably don't read the comments, but I already love you and your editor.

Naawww, thank you! ❤❤
Mathew McKenna Thanks Mat ❤
I honestly expected to comment and never have anything come of it, little did I know I'd hear from the TH-camr as well as the Editor (capitalized for importance :) ). This made my day, thank you guys so much
Flicker is my absolute favourite album and I’m so proud of niall because he never got a lot of singing time and like the album in itself reflects him as a person which is amazing, but then again niall said each song you can interpret it the way suits best
Niall is so good in doing different voices
i love how kind you are. there’s obviously nothing wrong with having different tastes, but i hate when people think their opinion is the Only True Opinion, and something can only be good if they like it. you’re honest without being cruel, which is something i appreciate in this age of youtube. thanks for the great videos!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
You know what, I literally agree with every single song you liked and didn't like. I think I have a problem with the PRODUCTION this album. If you see Niall perform live, his voice sounds infinitely better. It's like his voice is..."clipped" or something. But live he sounds amazing.
When I first listened to the song Flicker, I repeated it for two days so I can sing along.
I was also depressed those two days because that song just.. makes me feel depressed and loved at the same time.
I love Niall ❤️
You need to react to the rest of his songs on the album: on my own, mirrors, and the tide!😂 Love you Matthew!
congrats on 7k!!!
Thanks so much 💜💜💜
I appreciate that you do such balanced and honest reactions without in any way taking away from the artist's achievement if you don't like something. I think you should listen to the rest of the deluxe version of the album because I am sad for anyone who hasn't heard On My Own.
Nialler love 💖
It’s probably throwing you off that Niall has a more metallic sounding voice, rather than say Harry’s is rougher and breathier
You should listen to Liam’s new songs
@@erinhoran6101 you forgot the r 😂😂😂
Flicker is just beautiful album 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
Okay so I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I accidentally clicked on this video and figured meh I'll watch it. I am glad I did! I enjoyed your review so I subscribed! Looking forward to watching more videos!
Dude I love your reactions so much
i half expected niall to sing "what a feeling" on the first song... right when you paused it the second time before "shes"
it’s funny that you mentioned that his voice sounded edited. i saw him live about a week ago and his voice live is so clean and crisp just like the album. he’s got a great voice.
Niall is so cool and so is this video
Paper houses is my fave song :)
Love that "Get Schwifty" playlist title 😂😂😂
Haha I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that xD
Head got bent over on that haha
you should go to one of his shows! i went to one and i swear you wont be disappointed. his voice is HEAVEN and i cried during flicker and fire away lol, i was shaking the whole time because he sounds SO good. his voice is SO SO SO SO much better live
Thanks you for your comments Mathew ! I'm really happy see you again cause you have a really interesting point of view and way to listen ! You are so smily too ! Thanks ! Could you make us discover what songs and type of music you like to hear ?
My favorite song from Niall is Mirrors♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love flicker so much❤❤ this Album is incredible❤🙈 and Niall too❤
I WAS SO PROUD OF NIALL WHEN WATCHING THIS LIKE THATS MY BABY!!!!💕👏🏼💕👏🏼👏🏼💕
React to Liam Payne's (one direction) new song bedroom floor
And also Louis Tomlinson Just like you
God, do we have different tastes.. No hate, but, SIR! YOU DIDN'T EVEN FINISHED THE OTHERS and..YOU DIDN'T PLAY ON MY OWN MIRRORS AND THE TIDE!!!!
You should listen to Ed Sheeran (his Divide album is my favorite) and Shawn Mendes (both are popish) and Russell Dickerson (country).
I actually love Ed, but I haven't gotten to listen to all of Divide yet. I could do a vid on that. Shawn Mendes should be happening next week! :D
what i most like about mathew its that he respect all the boys
Thank you thank you for your genuine reaction. My thought is that... I discovered that we have almost the same taste on music. Don't ask for my reaction of flicker because I will only describe using the word: PERFECT
I love niall so much I'm seeing his concert soon!
You really should have listened to the deluxe tracks, they are really good especially mirrors. It’s one of my favorite songs.
Since he’s my fave from one direction, I enjoy almost all of them. I’m seeing him perform by himself for the first time this Saturday. Excited.
You didn't do The Tide or On My Own.
This Town is my favorite of Niall's songs.. it always makes me soooo emotional!
6:27 I agree with your point soooo much. I hate when they add effects to their voices and songs about like sex just make me feel weird. I love most of his songs except slow hands
watching this and the other video (harry's album reaction) is SOO fucking hard cause they're my babies and i'm over protective so i literally have an empty water bottle between my teeth to not scream and lash out on you -LITERALLY-
Boi you earned yourself a subscribe just for this video. Also check out Niall’s deluxe album for 3 extra songs that really complete the album.
I'm always super glad to hear those first 6 words haha. Welcome to the family! I'll definitely be listening to those songs
I've listened to this album thousands of times and love it. Niall is super talented, and you are super critical. If only you had that much talent!
Sameee this is my fav album especially when I'm sad ❤️
Okay, that wasn't the deluxe version, and you have yet to listen to On My Own, Mirrors and The Tide, also, that was an acoustic version of Flicker, the album had the studio version. There would be two different sounds there.
Anywho, loved the video! It was great! 🙌👍
Hii, I love how you express what you feel when listening to a song so well!!!
Ever listened to The 1975? React to them if you haven’t 👌🏼
Marie Claire omg ... yes!!!!
I really love the album. Would have been even better if ´so long´ was on it, but all the songs show what an amazing singer/songwriter Niall is.
I don't know if you listen to James Blunt or not, but I'd love a reaction video to him, since he's also been doing music for quite some time, and kind of changed in style during that.
Really enjoy watching your videos! :)
You don't hear the best 3 songs! The Tide, Mirrors and on my own
Yeah, Niall and Harry are my two favorites of the solo 1D members. Absolutely love both of their albums. Haven't seen Niall yet in concert but I want to. Did go see Harry, and he was epic. He's is an absolute legend at performing live. I know Niall's performance live will be way more toned down than Harry's, but I'm fine with that. I think he will be fantastic live as well.
why did you skip the Mirrors by Nialllll
I Love Niall's music
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!
Also, you should listen to 5 seconds of summer covering drown by bring me the horizon! It’s amazing!
Welcome Notification Squad member, your presence is appreciated 💜
Yassssssss, my favorite. Paper house, on my own, and mirrors are my absolute favorite.
I just found your channel and I love your content! Pleaaase react to On My Own, Mirrors, and The Tide from the deluxe version!!!
You should react to Louis Tomlinson
You should have listened to the deluxe version, the three songs on the deluxe version are actually my three favorites!
something that i noticed about the difference between the songs you like and dont like, could it be how legato his voice is? in slow hands and paper house, he seems to almost take a breath between each word. those songs sound almost more choppy. that may have been something you picked up on subconsciously, but im not sure. just a thought!
everyone had a problem mishearing lyrics with nialls accent at one point or another
Another thing, On The Loose now has a music video, and acoustic video. All of Nialls singles(this town, slow hands, too much too ask & on the loose) have music videos and acoustic videos (the exception of this town which does not have a music video) (also, flicker is not a single, but does have both a studio and acoustic version)
I apologize, I just went all super fan on you!!! 🤓 I get this way sometimes!!! 😂😛☺️ Have a great day!!!!
I love all of Niall’s music
LISTEN TO 5SOS'S COVER OF DROWN BY BMTH (on BBC Live Lounge) PLEASE
LARRY STYLINSON yessss please!!
Too much to ask and You and me are my favorites😍
Do you listen all the way through when you listen to the songs?
Where was Mirrors??
The song Flicker makes me cry A LOT
Clicked on this by accident. Auto tune? GMAFB. Try watching any of his live performances....no auto tune needed and his range is amazing. PLUS, he doesn't need OTT antics, flashy costumes or schtick to put on an amazing show.
Niall's voice is just very unique so he's not using any kind of auto tune
omg if you like the country elements you should listen to on my own by niall !!! it’s my favourite from the album
Please listen to the deluxe songs as well on the deluxe version of this album.
My favorites are slow hands , too much to ask , this town, flicker, seeing blind , mirrors
I know I'm late but flicker is my fav of all their solo albums and my most favourite song is fireaway ❤️
There's something i kinda dislike about this album is when they put too many effect on Niall's voice coz when you listen him singing live it's way better and that's the best thing in the world! (Sorry bad english)
What about The Tide and On My Own?
And then flicker literally made me cry my eyes out
youre the only reacter that aren't fake to me no hate tho to the others 😂 im such a sucker for this town omg
THANKS!
I really hope you listen to Mirrors from Niall's Deluxe album soon💕
