I Know The End is one of my favorite songs of all time. The ending is her idea of how the apocalypse would sound in a song, and I think it works absolutely perfectly. The chaos with the screams, the horns, the drums, the guitar, it all just feels like the end of the world and I love it.
I Know The End is one of the best musical experiences I’ve ever had, and if you pay attention to the melody you realize the ending sounds exactly the same as DVD Menu, as Phoebe did that on purpose to have the album on loop. It’s truly an experience
@@ummmdudewtf yes, Demi Moore is very underrated! A lot of people think of it as a drag, but personally I find it to be a one of the only moments on the album where you can feel Phoebe wanting to get better, especially the line "I've got a good feeling / it doesn't happen very often". Its very euphoric
Fun thing during ICU - when she says "I can't even get you to play the drums" all the drums stop for a few seconds. Also, her higher backing vocals at the beginning of the last verse ("I'll climb through the window....") KILL me. Idk why.
Phoebe does such a good job of doing production that serves the song perfectly. I feel like there’s no other way these songs could be heard. This is such a cinematic and atmospheric album. Sometimes the things are so small that you don’t realize how special it is til you listen so many times and catch different things each time.
My friend and I saw Pheobe in concert and when she got to the end of I Know the End, the entire audience screamed the screams for 10 odd minutes that nobody even noticed she wasn't even on the stage anymore.
I know the end is absolutely one of my favourite songs of all time, I had the chance to see it live a couple weeks ago in London and I genuinely started crying because its such an overwhelmingly beautiful song lol
@@jifij89 the crowd experience of I know the end live is truly unique. Far as live shows go phoebe shows are on the quieter side. Then the closing song this and the entire audience collectively at the same moment screams in unison as loud as they can. It’s awesome.
You can’t imagine the atmosphere during the end is here when everyone is literally screaming at the concert. I saw her live in Germany in June this year.
Punisher is one of my all time favorite albums… no skips at all for me. Your reaction to I Know The End actually made me tear up a bit because of how much that song has meant to me and how I remmeber feeling listening to it for the first time. Thanks for listening!
I absolutely love the music theory and knowledge that you throw into these! My favorite videos to watch on TH-cam and you doing that definitely sets you apart, keep killing it dude
I attended Phoebe's concert here in Toronto back in June with my sister. Going into the show I only knew Kyoto and was pretty ignorant to her music as a whole, expected to spend most of the show sitting on the hill at the back of the outdoor venue. As soon as the concert started though, it was magnetic. I was totally sucked right in, and the performance and the visuals blew me away unlike any concert I had ever been to. I left feeling a bit different, which might sound a bit weird to say. Since then this album has been one of my favorites.
for me whenever i come back randomly lmao dvd menu: 1:34 garden song: 3:26 kyoto: 9:34 punisher: 13:34 halloween: 20:21 chinese satellite: 27:45 moon song: 32:36 savior complex: 41:21 icu: 47:30 Graceland too: 51:14 I know the end: 56:35 i know the end and graceland too make me feel smth
Finally some Phoebe Bridgers on your channel, I've been waiting for this day :D Phoebe is one of my favorite artists ever and I just love when more and more people discover her music and lyricism and songwriting, she's so talented
I recommend listening to Punisher again and referencing something like genius to truly appreciate the lyrics. A lot of it is cryptic, but pretty breathtaking once you understand the meaning
loved this just as much as i thought i would! now we need a reaction to her EP with her band boygenius and the other two thirds of the band, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus (both did backing vocals on this album too, and Phoebe and Lucy were on Julien's song Favor and she and Phoebe were on Lucy's song Please Stay), and her band Better Oblivion Community Center with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes (who also did backing vocals on this album)
Your smile during I know the end is everything!! It makes me so happy to see people react to that song for the first time, I wish I could relive hearing it for the first time myself, it's one of my favourite songs of all time
FINALLY! Also, fun fact: the bass backing vocals in Garden Song are by Jeroen Vrijhoef, her tour manager! She's a genius and he does indeed have an awesome voice.
I think you would like Ethel Cain's debut album 'Preacher's Daughter'! It has the same vibe with Phoebe's album except it touches in gothic and christian themes :> (the album has dream-rock, dreampop, country, ambient and more)
Welcome to the Phoebe Lovers Club!! I don´t know what it is exactly, but since I first heard her music I can´t stop listening to Phoebe, with other music after a while it gets repetitive, with her I feel like she´s touching my soul. Luckily I got to go to a concert a couple of weeks ago and for the firts time in my life I got emotional on a live performance (yes she made me cry) No need to clarify that I´m up there in age, so I have listened to a ton of music in my life and been to a bunch of concerts.
dvd menu flows into garden song on the vinyl! its so cool!! also the garden song mv has that transition, you should check it out. I dont know why its not on the digital release of the album tho
This is the only album to come out in the last like 7 years that’s already in my top 10 favorites of all time. I actually saw her play it live before I ever listened to it and it really feels like something special.
I’ve been waiting for this one. I don’t know a lot about music production (learning more thanks to you!), but I knew you’d appreciate this one because it’s just amazing start to finish.💙❤️
Oh ... so Billie Eilish shared a hilarious Phoebe Bridgers story on her "Me & Dad" radio show a couple of years ago. Billie said she was only about 10-11 yo at the time I think, so Finneas couldn't have been more than maybe 14-15? Anyway, Finneas' band The Slightlys was competing in a battle of the bands contest, and young Billie and her Dad were there to support him. But, suddenly, a very young and "tiny" Ms Bridgers jumped on stage with only a guitar, and blew everybody away with the quality of her performance. So much so that, from that moment, both Billie and her Dad were secretly rooting for Phoebe to beat Finneas ... which she did! Finneas was apparently very upset because the contest had been billed as a battle of the BANDS, yet this Bridgers kid didn't even have a band LOL. Billie and her Dad have been Phoebe stans ever since. You can see Patrick wearing his Phoebe Bridgers t-shirt throughout the Blurry doc. Cheers.
Aaaaaaa I was waiting for this!!!! So so happy you got to listen to Pheobe! As always, loved all your comments and analysis! I listened to her live a month ago and it was superior, her energy is impeccable!
Phoebe is my favourite musician of all time. Even beyond her immaculate production, her lyrics connect with me on a level no other songwriter ever has. I remember so vividly listening to this album for the first time on the bus to work and crying at Chinese Satellite and I Know The End
Punisher is one of my favorite albums of all time and I’m so happy you decided to react to it! I am absolutely in love with every aspect of this record but especially the story-driven, very specific, detailed style of lyrics that you mentioned. If you’re familiar with the 2010’s pop-punk scene you might have heard about a band called The Wonder Years who have a very similar lyrical style to Phoebe. If you haven’t listened to them before I would highly recommend their album No Closer To Heaven (and also Sister Cities and The Greatest Generation, but I’m getting ahead of myself). It is another one of my favorite albums and it also scratches that storytelling itch in a very satisfying way. If you enjoy a slightly rough yet high-quality, almost evolved 2010’s pop-punk sound I think you would really like it!
Ever since I first came across your channel I was hoping you'd react to this! It's fucking amazing, and your reaction to the huge ending was spot on! I remember the first time I heard it, it felt like it elevated me to a higher plane of existence lol
From someone who listens to mainly old school hip-hop and metal, this album has helped me cope with my own trauma like nothing before. Lyrics are so expressive and relatable. Also loved your insight dude! Cheers
There were a few songs I slept on but later, became my favorites and now, as a whole, it’s one of my favorite albums of all time. My top four are punisher, moon song, garden song, and Chinese satellite. She recently dropped an acoustic version of Chinese satellite that somehow manages to cut deeper.
Love the musical parallels between the last bit of I Know The End and DVD Menu. The melody in the intro comes back in the outro and ties the whole album together
I like how you connected your thoughts on how the day the music died affected music forever. I love music that grabs you and pulls you to really listen to it as well, which is probably why Phoebe's work is one of my all-time favorites. That really spoke to me. This video is awesome! :)
the sonics of this album perfectly encapsulates the mood and aesthetic of the album cover. it really is an album you’ll listen to at night, like when you’re on a camping with phoebe and a friend and y’all be just sitting there by the bonfire and she grabs her guitar and starts singing
you’ve become my fav music reactor! you seem to be enjoying the music so much, i love seeing your face move with different beats and melodies, you react to music like i do!
Please react to Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There! I think you'd love it and have plenty to say about it! It's definitely an album that's meant to be listened to and not danced to lol. Something different, but I think the theatre kid and music nerd in you will freak out. That album and Punisher are two of my all time favorites
It was my album of the year when this came out, I've heard it so many times. Although listening along with this video I've picked up so many small nuances that really shine through the production of this record. Take 15:15 for example and the lyrics "In plain sight", you can hear the reverb being pulled back for every word to being completely clear and crisp by the word "sight" as if Phoebe is right in front of you. Absolutely stunning creativity.
You have the BEST reaction I've seen to I know the end! I knew you would love it because you've talked so many times in reactions to other songs on your channel about how you want them to go huge like that in the end with all the vocals and instrumental and everything, so I was waiting for your reaction to that moment here and it did not disappoint. we love to see it!!!
The first video I've watched from you, and I subscribed halfway through the first song! I'm not a producer, or even someone that familiar with music, honestly, so it's nice to see someone put my feelings into words. It's incredible how articulate you are on camera. I'll definitely be watching more!
I know the end is the greatest song I’ve heard in such a long time. Standing alone it absolutely rocks. But the entire album feels like it’s “edging” towards those last couple minutes. Ugh. So good
Hey, Blake. I love your music reviews. I would like to suggest you a portuguese singer called MARO, for future reviews. Her music and voice are truly hypnotic and transcendent and the last album is... pure magic! ✨
I love this album!!!! It's still winter over here and eeevery time it's cloudy I'm listening: Punisher, Folklore/Evermore and/or Tapestry. EVERY TIME 😆 My favs are: I Know The End (I love it so muuuuuuch🔥), Savior Complex, Chinese Satellite and Graceland Too. On the "Dead Wax" channel (ex professional musicians react) the guys interview Phoebe's producer Tony Berg and guitarist Harrison Whitford and OMG, looove that conversation. They talk about some songs from the album and Tony Berg talks about "egos" while producing (and how he approach producing). I totally recommend that video, it's called "What Makes @Phoebe Bridgers 1 in a MILLION?"
Watching you react to I know the end has gotta be one of the best things I've ever seen...Ever since I heard the song all I could think was "I wish Blake would react to this" because I was so darn sure you would fall in love with the build up and watching you do just that put th ebiggest smile on my face :) PS: Another song I greatly recommend if you liked I know the end is "Build me up" by Cleo Sol, its a goddamn masterpiece
I never comment on anything on TH-cam--I am SO thrilled you did Phoebe!!! She’s the best. PLEASE LCD Soundsystem or The National one of these days 💓 I would melt into a puddle on the floor with my feelings in a good way.
The production on this one is a big reason why this album is an album I would consider a modern classic. On top of that, Bridgers lyrics are soul crushing. Her abstract use of a verse chorus structure but never repeating a lyrical section adds to the tension. She adds bits of her personal life into everything, so it’s hard to tell if she’s just a brilliant writer or if she’s also very broken by things that have happened to her. People often describe her music as “Taylor Swift for girls who have crumbs in their bed,” hitting at that depression angle. Truly brilliant.
blake you did this one for the sad girls ✊ thank you king
Sad boys too
i listen to phoebe and im a boy 😦lol
He needs to react to lana del rey because honeymoon album is the best at production or ultraviolence or even born to die😭
I Know The End is one of my favorite songs of all time. The ending is her idea of how the apocalypse would sound in a song, and I think it works absolutely perfectly. The chaos with the screams, the horns, the drums, the guitar, it all just feels like the end of the world and I love it.
Culture Reset & what a way to end an album!!
That one is my fav on the album too, and an all time fav
I know the end is one of the best auditory experiences ever created. Truly a masterpiece.
It’s a masterclass!
Hearing it live at Red Rocks was transcendent.
No one:
No one at all:
Me: skips right to I Know The End to see the reaction
Nah because i came here to do the exact same thing. Great and devastated minds think alike.
I Know The End is one of the best musical experiences I’ve ever had, and if you pay attention to the melody you realize the ending sounds exactly the same as DVD Menu, as Phoebe did that on purpose to have the album on loop. It’s truly an experience
it’s the same melody but in reverse, from the start you already know the end!
This guy is a master at having no visible reaction to some of the most devastating lyrics ever written
he’s a producer, ofc he’s gonna focus on the production
Blake legit only cares about the music. He is not a lyrics girl hahahaha
I KNEWWWW you would love i know the end it’s such a masterpiece and i get goosebumps every time i hear those screams it’s just soooo crazy good 😭
HANDS DOWN BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM
timestamps
Not all hero’s wear capes 🥹💙
Bless u
please do her first album!!! there are such good songs on there, and it doesn't get enough credit
Demi Moore is supremely underrated imo, would love a reaction to Strangers in the Alps
I love both of her albums so much but I actually think I slightly prefer her first album but I Know The End is an amazing song!!
@@ummmdudewtf yes, Demi Moore is very underrated! A lot of people think of it as a drag, but personally I find it to be a one of the only moments on the album where you can feel Phoebe wanting to get better, especially the line "I've got a good feeling / it doesn't happen very often". Its very euphoric
@@ummmdudewtf u get me!!!
yes!! you missed my heart & georgia are underrated masterpieces.
Fun thing during ICU - when she says "I can't even get you to play the drums" all the drums stop for a few seconds.
Also, her higher backing vocals at the beginning of the last verse ("I'll climb through the window....") KILL me. Idk why.
just like scott street
I love the high backing vocals
AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS, MAN YOU SURE PICK THE PERFECT MOMENTS TO PAUSE THE SONGS 😭
he always does lol he just can’t help himself
Also can we talk about how in the beginning he was pouring his tea and sipping like it was asmr but it oddly went along with dvd menu 😂
Phoebe does such a good job of doing production that serves the song perfectly. I feel like there’s no other way these songs could be heard. This is such a cinematic and atmospheric album. Sometimes the things are so small that you don’t realize how special it is til you listen so many times and catch different things each time.
My friend and I saw Pheobe in concert and when she got to the end of I Know the End, the entire audience screamed the screams for 10 odd minutes that nobody even noticed she wasn't even on the stage anymore.
Can you believe she didn’t get a Grammy? I know the end is one of the best ever written and produced songs ever
i wish she won best new artist
The song Punisher is actually about Elliot Smith, who is her favorite artist and probably where she gets most her inspiration.
I know the end is absolutely one of my favourite songs of all time, I had the chance to see it live a couple weeks ago in London and I genuinely started crying because its such an overwhelmingly beautiful song lol
did everyone scream at the end?
@@jifij89 yeah they do lmao
I was at london night 2, seeing i know the end live is truly one of the best experiences of my life
@@jifij89 she said the final night in London might have broken the audience volume record on her four. We screamed like demons. It was incredible.
@@jifij89 the crowd experience of I know the end live is truly unique. Far as live shows go phoebe shows are on the quieter side. Then the closing song this and the entire audience collectively at the same moment screams in unison as loud as they can. It’s awesome.
You can’t imagine the atmosphere during the end is here when everyone is literally screaming at the concert. I saw her live in Germany in June this year.
Punisher is one of my all time favorite albums… no skips at all for me. Your reaction to I Know The End actually made me tear up a bit because of how much that song has meant to me and how I remmeber feeling listening to it for the first time. Thanks for listening!
I absolutely love the music theory and knowledge that you throw into these! My favorite videos to watch on TH-cam and you doing that definitely sets you apart, keep killing it dude
Thank you so damn much. You have no idea how much that means
Finally! This album is like in its dark atmospheric bubble. Such a masterpiece
Ooh, that's a lovely way to describe it.
AM I DREAMING OR BLAKE ACTUALLY REACTED TO THIS ALBUM MASTERPIECE??!
I attended Phoebe's concert here in Toronto back in June with my sister. Going into the show I only knew Kyoto and was pretty ignorant to her music as a whole, expected to spend most of the show sitting on the hill at the back of the outdoor venue.

I left feeling a bit different, which might sound a bit weird to say. Since then this album has been one of my favorites.
That's an awesome story! I'm jealous of the experience, there is something special about discovering a great artist live.
i just know ur not ready for "i know the end", deeply iconic

It’s so cool seeing you immediately notice things that I eventually noticed after several listens.

Agreed!

i've been dying to see your reaction to this album! definitely a masterpiece and very underrated. phoebe is a genius
I really recommend you to listen to a band called the backseat lovers. Theyre an indie rock band and their lyrics and production are honestly unreal!
YESS
Lol TH-cam recommended this right after watching “growing , dying” live
I can’t wait to hear a studio version
Yesss love them
how are yall liking the new album?
oh my god blake im so glad you're finally reacting to this album !!!
I’d love to see the 1975 album reactions. The first is great but the second and third album are even better
Man I love this album- thanks for the reaction these videos always help me understand the music I enjoy so much better
love the way how you post uncut reactions on TH-cam as well thank you so much and love your reactions! Also this album is so good.
dvd menu flows into garden song on the vinyl! its so cool!! also the garden song mv has that transition, you should check it out. I dont know why its not on the digital release of the album tho
If Blake ever reacts to Stranger in the Alps i’m gonna cry
This is the only album to come out in the last like 7 years that’s already in my top 10 favorites of all time. I actually saw her play it live before I ever listened to it and it really feels like something special.

You have absolutely no clue how long I’ve waited for this, thank you Blake, you blessed us 🥰🥰
I just knew you were going to absolutely love "I Know The End" and fall in love with the album as whole.
thanks for feeding us by reacting to this masterpiece
IVE NEVER CLICKED FASTER I’VE BEEN WAITINGGG
you’ve become my fav music reactor! you seem to be enjoying the music so much, i love seeing your face move with different beats and melodies, you react to music like i do!
Please react to Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There! I think you'd love it and have plenty to say about it! It's definitely an album that's meant to be listened to and not danced to lol. Something different, but I think the theatre kid and music nerd in you will freak out. That album and Punisher are two of my all time favorites

I know the end is even better (if that's possible) live. It's AMAZING. I saw Phoebe last month and it was the best
omg so did i, brixton n1
omg now this is what we needed
Blake I've been waiting for this one thank you
You have the BEST reaction I've seen to I know the end! I knew you would love it because you've talked so many times in reactions to other songs on your channel about how you want them to go huge like that in the end with all the vocals and instrumental and everything, so I was waiting for your reaction to that moment here and it did not disappoint. we love to see it!!!
I've been waiting for you to finally check this out! 🖤🖤🖤
The first video I've watched from you, and I subscribed halfway through the first song! I'm not a producer, or even someone that familiar with music, honestly, so it's nice to see someone put my feelings into words. It's incredible how articulate you are on camera. I'll definitely be watching more!
Now waiting for you to react Five Seconds Flat by Lizzy McAlpine
YES
Finally! I was waiting for this one ❤ hope you're doing better
I know the end is the greatest song I’ve heard in such a long time. Standing alone it absolutely rocks. But the entire album feels like it’s “edging” towards those last couple minutes. Ugh. So good
ALWAYS SO EXCITED TO SEE PEOPLE REACT TO I KNOW THE END OF FOR THE FIRST TIME
im so happy u reacted to this!! punisher is one of my favorite albums, very excited to hear ur thoughts
OMGGGG I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS THANK YOU 😭
Hey, Blake. I love your music reviews. I would like to suggest you a portuguese singer called MARO, for future reviews. Her music and voice are truly hypnotic and transcendent and the last album is... pure magic! ✨
Fun fact! DVD menu is the last song off her first album in reverse
I love this album!!!! It's still winter over here and eeevery time it's cloudy I'm listening: Punisher, Folklore/Evermore and/or Tapestry. EVERY TIME 😆
My favs are: I Know The End (I love it so muuuuuuch🔥), Savior Complex, Chinese Satellite and Graceland Too.
On the "Dead Wax" channel (ex professional musicians react) the guys interview Phoebe's producer Tony Berg and guitarist Harrison Whitford and OMG, looove that conversation. They talk about some songs from the album and Tony Berg talks about "egos" while producing (and how he approach producing). I totally recommend that video, it's called "What Makes @Phoebe Bridgers 1 in a MILLION?"
yess I’m so glad u reacted to this :)
Watching you react to I know the end has gotta be one of the best things I've ever seen...Ever since I heard the song all I could think was "I wish Blake would react to this" because I was so darn sure you would fall in love with the build up and watching you do just that put th ebiggest smile on my face :)
PS: Another song I greatly recommend if you liked I know the end is "Build me up" by Cleo Sol, its a goddamn masterpiece

No idea if anyone has commented this, but the song Punisher is written about her love for Elliot Smith!!
god i love i know the end. all the build up from this record finally exploded into this beautiful clash
I never comment on anything on TH-cam--I am SO thrilled you did Phoebe!!! She’s the best. PLEASE LCD Soundsystem or The National one of these days 💓 I would melt into a puddle on the floor with my feelings in a good way.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
if I can't have Love I want Power by halsey is also a concept album that is lovely!

I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE I KNOW THE END. Definitely one of my top fav songs of all time, so glad you enjoyed it!
omggg I've been waiting for this!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE
loved this! you should definitely react to more of the 1975, they have an album coming out in october x
I'm so glad that Blake's loving it🥺💖
The production on this one is a big reason why this album is an album I would consider a modern classic.
On top of that, Bridgers lyrics are soul crushing. Her abstract use of a verse chorus structure but never repeating a lyrical section adds to the tension. She adds bits of her personal life into everything, so it’s hard to tell if she’s just a brilliant writer or if she’s also very broken by things that have happened to her. People often describe her music as “Taylor Swift for girls who have crumbs in their bed,” hitting at that depression angle. Truly brilliant.
Yesss can’t wait to watch! Been waiting for this one 👏
