ash (the bassist) really outdid himself for this ep. the bass is probably my favorite part throughout the entirety of the ep, you can see how much the band has improved since the last time. I can say that my one and only critique is that I wish that the vocals were pushed a little bit more forward in some of the songs. still it’s already going to be on the top of my spotify wrapped. :)
it’s all futile is such a good song, it was originally a song from Wilburs album “Maybe I Was Boring”. It’s one of my fav songs and the fact that it’s so well remade makes me really happy.
fun fact: they wanted to scrap perfume but wilbur’s friend tommy told him to keep it in! tommy is also the one who yells a.m. in the first verse :) jk ive been informed that im literally wrong 😭 tommy had the idea to yell am in the song lol
@@astridarge3750 it could be both. From what I know and also when I've been to some song recordings, people sometimes record multiple people yelling or screaming some backing vocals and then just master it sound the way it sounds. I could also be wrong cause I wasn't there when they recorded it, but the thought of Tommy screaming it is just awsome.
two little fun facts about pebble brain: 1) wilbur was originally going to cut 'perfume' from the tracklist but a close friend (and younger brother figure), who online goes mainly by tommyinnit, proclaimed it was his favorite and vouched for it to be kept in 2) 'it's all futile! it's all pointless' was a remake of one of wilbur's old songs from a mix titled 'maybe I was boring' and prior to writing this ep (idk if his opinion has changed) it was his favorite song that he'd ever written p.s: if you could, I think it would be cool for you to react to wilbur's old music, like 'maybe I was boring' and 'your city gave me asthma'
the moment in concrete where wilbur says, “the people on the nightbus have to LISTEN TO YOU” is my absolute favorite part of the ep, i always replay it whenever i’m listening to concrete 💀
14:54 - Yeah absolutely, What i love most about pebble brain (there are many things I love about pebble brain) is how clearly these songs are meant to be performed live. Like, it’s built in that these songs are meant to be performed in front of - and with - people. The claps, the call and response sections in “perfume” and “the fall”, the messy background vocals as you hear the band mucking about in the studio, the sheer frantic energy of it all. You can just imagine them going ham in a uni bar and everyone having a blast. The music grabs you and it doesn’t let you go. Even alone in your room, you’re going to be dancing and singing along and I love that. Community, experiencing and making music together, is built into the very fabric of this album’s construction on a molecular level, and I love that.
YES im so ready for when live performances can be done freely cause whenever wilbur talks about performing these songs live he's always so excited :'))
I WASNT THE ONLY ONE OMG!!! It does for me too!! Like everytime I listen to it, I can’t not think about it. Maybe they might have sampled it? Maybe it’s just similar? Maybe it’s just the right feel with the right bpm but WHO KNOWS lol
Mark on the drums was honestly incredible and ash with the bass really shined in this album. Of course joe and Wilbur did amazing in this album and I’m so glad on how u reviewed it. Actually fun fact about the last song was it was an redo on Wilbur’s only song It’s all Futile. It’s all pointless in his old album maybe I was boring so it was crazy on how much they improved. I’d highly recommend looking back on Wilbur’s old version of iafiap and comparing it to this new one
my favourite thing about my favourite things i like to listen to is the ✨lack of autotune✨ just a more natural sound and less things created digitally. computers can do a lot but nothing beats the real sound of a band
"you'll understand when you're older" isn't alot of people's favourite. but I love it so much, it deserves alot more recognition! I'M SO HAPPY ITS YOUR FAVOURITE! that makes me really happy :D
During "The Fall" all I could think of was "Fake Tales of San Francisco" by Arctic Monkeys. The call and response, the drums and especially the build in the later half of the song.
That's funny that you mentioned this because Lovejoy have made 2 playlists in which they listed all the songs they listened to when making "Pebble Brain" and "Are you alright ?" and "Fake Tales of San Francisco" is in the "Are you alright?" playlist !
TIMESTAMPS :3 2:18 - oh yeah, u gonna cry? 6:37 - model buses 12:05 - concrete 16:32 - perfume 20:38 - u’ll understand when ur older 26:19 - the fall 30:10 - it’s all futile! it’s all pointless!
CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE FALL, first of all it sounds so much more different than the rest of the album, I can’t quite describe it, it sounds like it has a deeper meaning to it , like some what darker. I just love it sooooo much , just imagine it during a concert 🙄🖐
I believe the meaning is about a cliff near Brighton called "beachy head" its a beautiful white cliff but it also is the uk's highest suicidal spot, I've been there, its nice but not many know how many people have taken their life there
Wilbur has said multiple times that los campesinos is his favorite band and is the main inspiration for lovejoy. Although I do think that you are right in saying it sounds a lot like say anything
i think with wilbur's voice, he has a great chest voice, obviously a great falsetto but his head voice is beyond description. it just sits right and the way the rest of the band just almost fall in line behind wilbur lovejoy should be the next top band with ep's like this and 'are you alright' compared to modern music easily contender for best indie band of all time
I love how the songs are rearranged as well - it starts off so punk rock and then the meaning of the songs become sadder and sadder. IDK abt u but I really like that
There's something about Lovejoy's music that I don't understand. The first time that I hear new music from them I don't like it that much, but the more I hear it, the more I like it
SAME like at first i thought that wilbur’s music was terrible but then i decided to give it another try and the more i listened to it the more i loved it! i think that happens for a lot of songs with me lol
Omg geniuenly same, my friend showed me some of theirs songs a while ago and i didnt like any but after i listened to sex sells a few times more i fell in love with it and all of their other songs followed.
when i first listened to “are you alright” i wasn’t into it at all, but then i listened to it again a few weeks later, and i fell in love with sex sells and one day. when “pebble brain” came out, i listened to it on repeat, and now i’m dying to hear their next EP or album
The Fall is probably my favourite in this EP, in a close fight with Oh Yeah, You Gonna Cry? or It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless! Edit: god Will likes his long titles edit: screw you my favourite is now The Fall
Nothing compared in length to a song by los campesinos called “this is how you spell, HAHAHA, we destroyed the hopes and dreams of a entire generation of faux-romantics”
3 minutess in and I'm glad you talked about the more punk vibe the EP gives out, it's what made me love it even more as that was the one thing I would've changed with the first EP.
leaving this here for myself whenever i randomly come back lmao 2:18 - oh yeah, u gonna cry? 6:37 - model buses 12:05 - concrete 16:32 - perfume 20:38 - u’ll understand when ur older 26:19 - the fall 30:10 - it’s all futile! it’s all pointless! its all futile its all pointless was my favourite in his old album and how hype it is in this album makes me love it infinitely more
the ep has been out for 2 days and I've already memorized all the lyrics to half the songs my favorites 1. oh yeah you gonna cry 2. perfume 3. model buses
I've been watching peoples reactions mainly to see their reaction to the fall and this one...didn't expect a reaction for the chorus part honestly. The reaction was probably cause of the different instrument change. YOU LITERALLY START CATJAMMING- I usually watch the fall for the breakdown in it and to see reactions for that bit. Beautiful reaction :D
It’s such a small thing but I just love the inclusion of the trumpets. It’s such a unique bit in their songs and it always sounds grout especially having them sound in the background, not necessarily front and centre but way in the back and it just sounds so awesome.
Fun fact: I’m currently listening to “oh yeah, you gonna cry?” and I have been since it came out in a loop. Only god came save me. Commitment is real _safe to say I’m addicted_
seeing you react to model buses the way i did makes me so happy, its my favorite song. joe is fucking amazing and the drums are why i adore that song so much dude. the bass throughout the other songs is also sososo good, ash is so amazing and talented ahhhh
Same,at first I wanted to just skip to the fall but I really wanted that buildup to the fall because it's so different from the rest of the ep and unexpected but still blends in with the rest of the songs very well
I’ve been listening to Lovejoy since just after their first ep was released (thats when I started watching the Dream SMP, watching Wilbur’s streams and found about about Lovejoy through him) and I genuinely love their music so much it just makes me happy immediately when I listen to this ep and I can already tell if they ever do gigs or concerts the atmosphere there will be INSANE 🤍
I don't know if you are aware but 'Its all futile its all pointless' is a remastered version of an old wilbur song called "its all futile its all pointless"
@@chastidydunn1404 one time he made an ep (?) titled "maybe i was boring" and the last song in it is "its all futile its all pointless". but in this ep, they remade the song into an absolute banger
@@bananapisz yes, i know that. The person in the comment said "its all futile its all pointless" was remastered in "its all futile its all pointless" i was just confused.
the cat is a catjam, its a streamer thing xD also on the best and oldest song technially. i loved that wilbur chose to redo it cause it sounds amazinggg and its my favourite xD
fun fact (besides the fact that ash and mark are the greatest) It's all futile! it's all pointless! was a revamp of a song he posted awhile back and listening to them back to back is like listening to someone heal and become happier is so cool
Their new cover of Crywank’s “Privately Owned Spiral Galaxy” has a lot of that screaming you were anticipating. I also really enjoyed the breakdown at the end of that track, I think you’d have a nice time analyzing it 👍
dude this is why i love these videos so much. i can always tell exactly what you're about to say before you say it, even if it's not something i noticed the first time. like that one part in You'll Understand When You're Older, i picked up on the feedback, which i didn't hear originally, and like three seconds later you pointed it out. your smile all throughout the video is contagious. i can tell you really enjoy hearing new music and picking it apart. it's awesome to see the band being analyzed by such an amazing mind. plus your reaction to the catJam at the end was so funny. love to see it
okay, ill be honest this was just in my recommended and I only watched it bc of Lovejoy, but genuinely this dude is so cool. Like I love all the stuff I learned from this and he seems like such a nice person, idk it made me smile
They really outdid themselves with this EP, i love all the songs because even though some of them have really different vibes from eachother, they work so well together!! I am very happy that you enjoyed it aswell :)
fact: they made a playlist of songs thy listened to while writing the ep like good kid, delta sleep, the wombats, two door cinema club, ttng, los campesinos!
I haven’t fully watched but I’m so excited for his take on the fall it’s my absolute favorite and unique Edit after he’s listened to the fall: the call and response mark was adorable, also the tension buildup 🤩, THE PART, his reaction to it was the best!!! YAY!!!!!
There is actually a live session of Wilbur singing his band's songs with him and only his guitar on Twitch which is a livestreaming app/website, incase if Blake doesn't know this yet!
I feel like Wilbur's vocals get buried by the rest of the instruments in a LOT of the tracks, but it doesn't seem to on their previous EP? It just seems like it's lower in the mix half the time, to the point where I have to read lyrics on some of the tracks to understand them???
@@juliaklaassen2247, I was actually mad about that when I was listening to pebblebrain. Will was noticeably softer, and in the first EP I thought his vocals were at a good volume level.. Pebblebrain is still an amazing EP, but people really did not need to complain about the volume in Are You Alright
The entire band are really close. They all went to see Hamilton with a bunch of Wilbur’s friends. Tommy (one of Wilbur’s friends) has said that he loves the members of the band. I think that is amazing
seeing someone else react to lovejoy makes me so happy. Seeing something that i have loved ever since it came out being loved by someone whos a professional and isnt a like- die hard fan honestly makes me soooooo happy
before the reupload, I commented around an hour after the upload and I come here to reiterate, seeing you laughing about the cat is genuinely so wholesome, it really does improve upon the EP vibes on its own, I loved the reaction so much dude
I was so happy when you said that Perfume might be your favourite. It almost didn't make it into the album but Tommyinnit insisted that they put it in.
Thank you for reviewing this one, i'm glad to see it made you happy!! Btw, have you ever listened to Zach Callison's Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak? It's been years since it's released, but I'm really curious how you would react to that one! Most likely that's a no on that one, and that's fine, too, but just wanted to put it out there in case :)
I did not come up with this, but I saw a comment that could not have said it better: Lovejoy feels like a messy room where you know where everything is.
I've watched the MV for Concrete and I couldn't stop laughing but feeling second hand embarrassment! I SWEAR!! Him just trotting in the bar and chaos and being thrown out by security just made me laugh and cover my face from embarrassment- T^T he HAD to be drunk PLEASE!! FEAR LORD PLEASE!
Holy SMOKES. Im just listening to this (enjoying jt immensely) while i work and to hear someone just MENTION Motion City Soundtrack in this day and age was a shock I had to look at the video and be in awe as LG FUAD played. FOR A VIDEO ABOUT LOVEJOY, MY CURRENT FAVORITE BAND.
You should definitely react to Good Kid. Lovejoy was inspired by a few of their songs when making Pebble Brain. I can't express how good all their songs are. They have two albums, and they're DMCA free too!
Also, I'm doing custom requests on my Twitch stream today at 4:30 and a

I've been watching peoples reactions mainly to see their reaction to the fall and this one...didn't expect a reaction for the chorus part honestly. The reaction was probably cause of the different instrument change. YOU LITERALLY START CATJAMMING- I usually watch the fall for the breakdown in it and to see reactions for that bit. Beautiful reaction :D
listen to this hidden gem song called miss me by the impures
is really goood :)
its warms me so much to see how happy wil's music makes people, literally makes me smile everytime I listen
It’s such a small thing but I just love the inclusion of the trumpets. It’s such a unique bit in their songs and it always sounds grout especially having them sound in the background, not necessarily front and centre but way in the back and it just sounds so awesome.
Fun fact: I’m currently listening to “oh yeah, you gonna cry?” and I have been since it came out in a loop. Only god came save me. Commitment is real
_safe to say I’m addicted_
I am absolutely obsessed with this EP as well, ever since it came out i've just had it on repeat lol
@@dinosaurcola same ;v; it’s just _to_ poggers, ya get what I mean?
Yes it's my favourite song I listen to it like 10 times a day I know all the lyrics already
listen to this hidden gem song called miss me by the impures
is really goood :)
@@likeweuse27 alr! I’ll do it now :]
ash is so fricking good wtf esp in you'll understand when you're older
and the D R U M S
They did hella good in model buses too
the whole album gives me shivers and ive heard such a variety of music that i never get that feeling anymore
they all really outdid themselves w this album and oh my god it sounds so good
seeing you react to model buses the way i did makes me so happy, its my favorite song. joe is fucking amazing and the drums are why i adore that song so much dude. the bass throughout the other songs is also sososo good, ash is so amazing and talented ahhhh
I was literally sat the whole video WAITING for u to hear The Fall
Same
Same,at first I wanted to just skip to the fall but I really wanted that buildup to the fall because it's so different from the rest of the ep and unexpected but still blends in with the rest of the songs very well
I’ve been listening to Lovejoy since just after their first ep was released (thats when I started watching the Dream SMP, watching Wilbur’s streams and found about about Lovejoy through him) and I genuinely love their music so much it just makes me happy immediately when I listen to this ep and I can already tell if they ever do gigs or concerts the atmosphere there will be INSANE 🤍
I know I can’t wait until they do concerts and tours in the us
When they do do one, he talked about it in his recent stream, I’m just excited to hear “The Fall” because that will be amazing
I don't know if you are aware but 'Its all futile its all pointless' is a remastered version of an old wilbur song called "its all futile its all pointless"
It's remastered in the same song?
@@chastidydunn1404 one time he made an ep (?) titled "maybe i was boring" and the last song in it is "its all futile its all pointless". but in this ep, they remade the song into an absolute banger
@@bananapisz yes, i know that. The person in the comment said "its all futile its all pointless" was remastered in "its all futile its all pointless" i was just confused.
@@bananapisz but i realised that exist so 👍
@@chastidydunn1404 yeah sorry I'm not very good at wording :/
Wilbur streamed an album performance on twitch which he did with just his guitar! It was really amazing! :)
the cat is a catjam, its a streamer thing xD also on the best and oldest song technially. i loved that wilbur chose to redo it cause it sounds amazinggg and its my favourite xD
fun fact (besides the fact that ash and mark are the greatest) It's all futile! it's all pointless! was a revamp of a song he posted awhile back and listening to them back to back is like listening to someone heal and become happier is so cool
i watch this atleast once every 2 months
Their new cover of Crywank’s “Privately Owned Spiral Galaxy” has a lot of that screaming you were anticipating. I also really enjoyed the breakdown at the end of that track, I think you’d have a nice time analyzing it 👍
dude this is why i love these videos so much. i can always tell exactly what you're about to say before you say it, even if it's not something i noticed the first time. like that one part in You'll Understand When You're Older, i picked up on the feedback, which i didn't hear originally, and like three seconds later you pointed it out. your smile all throughout the video is contagious. i can tell you really enjoy hearing new music and picking it apart. it's awesome to see the band being analyzed by such an amazing mind. plus your reaction to the catJam at the end was so funny. love to see it
yesss a fellow you'll understand when you're older fan. i fell in love with it since the beginning bc of the instrumental
okay, ill be honest this was just in my recommended and I only watched it bc of Lovejoy, but genuinely this dude is so cool. Like I love all the stuff I learned from this and he seems like such a nice person, idk it made me smile
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE…. TURN IT UP!
mark was amazing on the drums this ep holy shit
Concrete and Model Buses... the start instantly gives an old Green Day vibe like “whatsername”
They haven’t been on a live as a band but Wilbur has done just himself and just his voice on some streams if you want to real his voice plainly.
They really outdid themselves with this EP, i love all the songs because even though some of them have really different vibes from eachother, they work so well together!!
I am very happy that you enjoyed it aswell :)
listen to this hidden gem song called miss me by the impures
is really goood :)
My fav is ‘you’ll understand when your older’ i being a guitarist and singasong writer I seriously love the guitar! It sounds so amazing
I've waited so much for this ep I'm so happy rn
the wait is definitely worth o7
fact: they made a playlist of songs thy listened to while writing the ep like good kid, delta sleep, the wombats, two door cinema club, ttng, los campesinos!
wait really? where do i find it?
@@aluminium9678 it’s on their created playlists on their Spotify profile
I love these reaction videos so much! It’s super cool to see how lovejoy has improved with every song
i was WAITING for you to say "call and response!" when The Fall came on!! cheers!
i always love seeing your opinion on my favorite artists’ works :)
I haven’t fully watched but I’m so excited for his take on the fall it’s my absolute favorite and unique
Edit after he’s listened to the fall: the call and response mark was adorable, also the tension buildup 🤩, THE PART, his reaction to it was the best!!! YAY!!!!!
Sameee!!
I’d really like to see you go back to Wilbur’s Your City Gave Me Asthma EP/album (?) to see what you think of where is voice sits on those songs!
I think he did a reaction to it on his patreon
i really love your reactions! :D
omg MASYANA
hellow :)
There is actually a live session of Wilbur singing his band's songs with him and only his guitar on Twitch which is a livestreaming app/website, incase if Blake doesn't know this yet!
I feel like Wilbur's vocals get buried by the rest of the instruments in a LOT of the tracks, but it doesn't seem to on their previous EP? It just seems like it's lower in the mix half the time, to the point where I have to read lyrics on some of the tracks to understand them???
In their last ep. People said it was to loud for the instruments. so i think they lowered it but they made it to low.
It gets easier to understand on repeat listens, they are pretty good tunes though
People said Wills vocals were too loud on Are You Alright? so I think they turned them down a bit bc of that
@@juliaklaassen2247 Which is weird, they're at a good level. Generally when I mix stuff I make sure the vocals are the loudest part of a song.
@@juliaklaassen2247, I was actually mad about that when I was listening to pebblebrain. Will was noticeably softer, and in the first EP I thought his vocals were at a good volume level..
Pebblebrain is still an amazing EP, but people really did not need to complain about the volume in Are You Alright
Im gonna be having this ep on loop for weeks
The entire band are really close. They all went to see Hamilton with a bunch of Wilbur’s friends. Tommy (one of Wilbur’s friends) has said that he loves the members of the band. I think that is amazing
Ash and Mark absolutely kill it in every track
seeing someone else react to lovejoy makes me so happy. Seeing something that i have loved ever since it came out being loved by someone whos a professional and isnt a like- die hard fan honestly makes me soooooo happy
"is that the end? they keep doing this to me" LMAOOOOO
before the reupload, I commented around an hour after the upload and I come here to reiterate, seeing you laughing about the cat is genuinely so wholesome, it really does improve upon the EP vibes on its own, I loved the reaction so much dude
Bro this guys smile makes me smile :D
Listening to the fall with headphones on is beautiful! 😌
I was so happy when you said that Perfume might be your favourite. It almost didn't make it into the album but Tommyinnit insisted that they put it in.
Thank you for reviewing this one, i'm glad to see it made you happy!! Btw, have you ever listened to Zach Callison's Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak? It's been years since it's released, but I'm really curious how you would react to that one! Most likely that's a no on that one, and that's fine, too, but just wanted to put it out there in case :)
i freaking LOVE the drums on this . just . !!!!!!!!
I did not come up with this, but I saw a comment that could not have said it better: Lovejoy feels like a messy room where you know where everything is.
I’ve been looking forward to your reaction to this ep! I’m so glad that you loved it as much as I did :D
I've watched the MV for Concrete and I couldn't stop laughing but feeling second hand embarrassment! I SWEAR!! Him just trotting in the bar and chaos and being thrown out by security just made me laugh and cover my face from embarrassment- T^T he HAD to be drunk PLEASE!! FEAR LORD PLEASE!
They really outdid themselves on the last 3 tracks :)
I think everything is so good that I think a lot more people would like to listen to it a lot more
You should do CaveTown next!
Omg yes!I've been listening to Cavetown for a long time and he is so talented
I’ve been waiting for u to react to this omg, I’ve had it on repeat ever since it came out
Same
Holy SMOKES. Im just listening to this (enjoying jt immensely) while i work and to hear someone just MENTION Motion City Soundtrack in this day and age was a shock I had to look at the video and be in awe as LG FUAD played. FOR A VIDEO ABOUT LOVEJOY, MY CURRENT FAVORITE BAND.
26:45 the expression change from there, just-
went from ok to pog to wtf is going on to catjam lmao-
You should definitely react to Good Kid. Lovejoy was inspired by a few of their songs when making Pebble Brain. I can't express how good all their songs are. They have two albums, and they're DMCA free too!
I was WAITING for this...
Like i’m waiting for the main people to react on the EP
Always love your analyses and breakdowns. You make it very easy to digest and understand just what's great about these tracks!
