Maybeeee tears for fears first album the hurting. The best sounding pop album of all time in my opinion besides their second album. An album with a surprising amount of depth about abuse and depression and is some of the best bombastic pop music you will ever hear. Imagine Dragons wishes they were as good as that.
19:17 The “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.
First album I ever bought. Definitely agree dental care sucks, but I have too many memories to hate Owl City, and I think that part of the reason this was a success at the time was because of the cheesy earnestness of the lyrics, being a contrast to a lot of the pop music at the time.
@@thevarietychannelofyoutube4769 We must have different kinds of ears or hearing, compared to those who don't like it. I feel the same ways you guys do, but know people who feel like Bradly does about it. Taste can be so varied- shit gets crazy lol. What's good? What's bad? Can there even be an objective standpoint on stuff like art? Fun thoughts this stuff leads me to.
@@KC7Tumblr I feel ya. It was so weird to see him give Meteor Shower a red headphones where it’s a song that I’ve cried to 😂 I don’t listen to Owl City much these days (ignore my old profile pic with the owl city shirt haha) but it played a huge part in getting me into music alongside Relient K back in middle school. It’s really hard for me to judge Owl City now since it’s drenched in nostalgia for me, but it’s probably safe to say that a lot of it hasn’t aged too gracefully. I’m just happy that myself and others were able to enjoy his work.
This album, Of June, and Maybe I'm Dreaming by Owl City were my childhood. It feels so weird to see people listen to it for the first time now, cause it's clouded in nostalgia for me. I don't know if I'd love it like I do if I heard it for the first time today, but it's so dreamy and puts me into this imaginative mindscape that I love. I don't even give a fuck about the positive nature of it, because it's meant to be a fantasy. But, I think the two albums before Ocean Eyes are even better.
I haven’t even watched this yet but as an owl city fan, ik this is gonna hurt because I know he’s gonna hate it lmao. But then again, music is subjective and I respect his opinion:)
I'll admit that I haven't listened to much music in this genre, but something about Adam's melodies and synth choices just does it for me like nothing else I've ever heard. It feels like you got so hung up on the lyrics and the "production" that you couldn't appreciate the actual music. Personally, I think the production on this album is great, apart from Umbrella Beach blowing out my eardrums every time it comes on. Every instrument, every little nuance is audible, and that's really hard to pull off from a mixing standpoint. I think he did a great job with it.
I really enjoyed this album back in the day. I guess I just saw it as owl city cataloguing his lucid dreams, which he’s actually somewhat confirmed. If you really look at everything from the lyrics to instrumentals it’s all very dream like, and I think he really succeeded in creating that aesthetic albeit some overly sugary moments.
In my opinion, this album is really good, I've loved Owl City for about seven years now. I personally think "All Things Bright and Beautiful" is his best work though.
Oh my God I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life😭😭. So excited to watch this in full. Also was wondering if you’ll ever finish your Radiohead series you were so close lol Love the content recently though and I hope you’re doing better!
My love for owl city goes like this. I don't like a lot of their songs, but the very few songs I like from them I love dearly so much that it makes owl city one of my most favorite musicians haha
I remember when fireflies came out and I was just immediately thought “who castrated Postal Service and forced them to make music for grocery stores and pharmaceutical ads?”
1. Cave In 1:09 Favorite 2. The Bird and The Worm 2:07 3. Hello Seattle 4:17 4. Umbrella Beach 5:56 5. The Saltwater Room 7:45 6. Dental Care 9:39 Least Favorite 7. Meteor Shower 11:18 8. On The Wing 12:25 9. Fireflies 14:25 Favorite 10. The Tip Of The Iceberg 17:01 11. Vanilla Twilight 17:59 12. Tidal Wave 19:05
The funniest part about this album is that the best songs on it are remakes of ones from the previous 2 eps he made. The problem is that the originals were a lot more subtle and lofi which is what I love so much about them, they really give off such a nice flow and vibe in the context of the original track listings. But when he remade them he made all of them sound more like umbrella beach which is just all up in your face slamming you with sound, killing the vibe of the original tracks somewhat. This album is 100% where I started to see a decline in the sound and even though all things bright and beautiful is a good album and a lot more cohesive, it was basically the last hurrah for what I liked about Adam Young's music so much and ever since he's put out basically nothing of worth aside from the ultraviolet ep imo.
@@ajesco Hello Seattle, The Saltwater Room, and On the Wing. Hello Seattle is from his first ep: Of June from 2006 and the other two are from his second: Maybe I'm Dreaming from 2008
I couldn’t agree more tbh. Ocean Eyes was desperately mediocre. The only good Owl City album is Maybe I’m Dreaming imo, and Of June was decent having one of the best Owl City songs (Swimming In Miami), but above all else though, Adam’s Sky Sailing Project (An Airplane Carried Me to Bed) is my favourite thing that Adam Young has done by far. I wish he had done more than 1 album for it, but yeah it was a masterpiece, and something that only true fans will most likely know as it was very underrated.
Please PLEASE give his next album, All Things Bright And Beautiful, a chance. It's my favorite Owl City album along with most others that don't care for Ocean Eyes. It doesn't feel extremely over polished and trying to force you to feel a specific emotion during the entire album like Ocean Eyes does. It has much more care and emotion behind it which in turn makes it feel way less forced.
@@julian.retherford.musicc cinematic is still owl city's good album imo, idk why I could even say it's higher than ocean eyes (OE still won bcs of the nostalgia tho), probably cus some of the production in that album is good
@@michaeltagor4238 yeah I mostly like cinematic because of his voice. It sounds a lot cleaner because the auto tune is less noticeable. The production is also way better, but I agree with you ocean eyes just carrys a lot of nostalgia and will never get old.
Owl City was my favorite musician of all time in high school. I remember buying this album at target on my birthday and then posting fan art on myspace for it lmao. I have too much nostalgia to hate his music but if I came across his music now, I probably wouldn't be a fan either.
I think Owl City's big appeal to me is the lyrics? I listened to you not getting into the songs and saying "the lyrics suck" but I find them very fun and highly quotable. I think this is why Dental Care, of all things, is my second favorite song on the album. IT IS ALL PUNS. I am 100% into puns and it is so incredible. "I've been to the dentist 1000x so I know the drill" is a masterpiece in lyric writing. This is the sort of thing I strive for. However, if that is not your style, then I get it. Also, Saltwater Room is my least favorite on the album because it just KEEPS GOING.
Still to this day despite a couple mid albums one of my favourite artists of all time. I love this album for how different it feels to pretty much everything I've ever heard in pop and electronic music.
I bet this dude thinks Wonderwall is peak music. He decided he hated the album, so he didn't even give it a chance. All the lyrics went over his head and he tuned the music out the entire time he was "listening". Overall I'd give this review video a "red headphones"
You are an absolute word smith when you comment on tracks that you hate. It makes me literally laugh out loud at some of your responses and is probably my favorite thing about watching your videos. Lol
Gee… you’re mean. Adam Young is such a kind soul and the world needs more people like him - Umbrella Beach is a good song. Also, if you have nothing nice to say about him/his music, that’s cool, not your style, but then don’t say anything at all!? You just spent like 30mins shit talking the hard work of one of the kindest people in this world. 😬 YIKES
I once described owl city as being like an experiment gone wrong, like the first robot with human emotions who just turned out way too sentimental to function
@@Jesusislord543 don’t mean to yuck your yum- just funny to imagine that maybe they wanted the AI to be emotionally sensitive and emotionally healthy, but their sentimentality was just turned up 11/10
This album just puts a big dumb smile on my face man, it's so engrained in my brain from when i was a kid and this was my favorite artist ever, it's so fun to see a bitter guy reviewing it love u brad
I wasn't expecting this at all. But yeah I have it on CD and used to listen to it all the time in middle school. The whole thing sounds like a Finding Nemo score. I actually love "All Things Bright and Beautiful" more than this album.
Honestly i dont think that brad gets enough credit in the way that he presents himself. He doesn't sugarcoat anything and expresses his feelings in a formal, conisise but open minded manner, that may not seem like much but it really goes a long way
I've never listened to Owl City, but I've been meaning to listen to one of their albums. So this is going to be a first time for me, seeing you react to it. I'm excited for this.
Owl City was such a major part of my adolescence. Ultraviolet was the first music I ever bought on iTunes. It was the closest thing I had to "secular music" besides my parents' 70-80s rock albums. I was super Christian and didn't know what good taste was. Now, as an older agnostic, I look back fondly on younger me waiting for music updates from Adam Young. If he ever releases music again (I don't think he's done anything since 2018), I will check it out.
Believe it or not he’s been teasing stuff on social media these past few weeks. There’s a countdown on his website that ends on 08/16/22 so I’m guessing either new music or an announcement of said music then. I had accepted that we probably weren’t getting any more owl city so it was a nice surprise to see haha
I love this whole album fantastic childhood memories from 90% of the tracks probably just hard core nostalgia Cus I listen to scarlxrd now so idk if u could say it moulded my taste in music (cave in is my fav)
Please react to the postal service, it has the same vibe but the sound is not obnoxious and the production is super good. It's overall a very satisfying album
Hey Brad, great video! If you're looking for an album to react to next, I would suggest Jackson Square by Arkells. The record is a surprisingly fantastic pop-rock album that is solid throughout the entire 42-minute runtime. I think that you would enjoy it!
It’s so funny, I’ve always enjoyed these songs, but I haven’t ever listened to the album in order and back to back like this. I think I enjoy more hearing one of these tracks popping up in shuffle. You can always tell what album it’s from and it fits the vibe. My favorite song on the album is 0If My Heart was a house” because the cheesey lyrics work well with a grand declaration of love, which the song is.
You should try some stuff off of his other projects. Port Blue, Sky Sailing, etc. And his instrumental stuff he just puts under his name, Adam Young. He is one of my favorite musicians, mostly due to my favorite songs from these other projects, and how impactful/captivating they are for me. Love your reviews, I feel like most reviewers just try to say what most people would agree with but my boy Bradly don't give a fuck! XD Always nice to see actual genuine opinions being shared in a review. Keep it up!
I can't explain why I like this record. I know in my heart that yeah, it's not very good, and yet there's something about the guy's earnest and naivety that keeps me around
My favourite Owl City song is actually on the deluxe version called Strawberry Avalanche.. idk why.. I just like it. No particular reason.. my brain do be like dat some times
There are some excellent melodies on this record...but yeah, there's a good few bad songs to go with the good ones. Also, the bonus tracks Hot Air Balloon are Strawberry Avalanche are imo at least as catchy as anything else on the main record. Favourite songs: Cave In, On the Wing, Fireflies, Tip of the Iceberg Worst: Umbrella Beach, Dental Care, Bird and the Worm
If you can't understand poetry or art (which clearly you don't) then stop making album reviews like these. It takes a lot to understand an artist and what they are trying to convey through the music. I don't know if it's because of your ADHD but I couldn't help but cringe when you kept yawning at some of the slower, less upbeat songs. Pay attention to the production and the lyrics a little more when you review songs and maybe, JUST MAYBE your album reviews will start to become a lot more informative and un biased.
So what’s next?
Maybeeee tears for fears first album the hurting. The best sounding pop album of all time in my opinion besides their second album. An album with a surprising amount of depth about abuse and depression and is some of the best bombastic pop music you will ever hear. Imagine Dragons wishes they were as good as that.
Maybe cover another NIN album? This time it would be The Fragile.

There's an obscure Jerma remix of Cave In, and that's how I heard about this album
CLASSIC
Bro this album was everything when I was in 4th grade
Wow the owl city Stan’s are in the house!!
Yes we are
im so sad i love this album so much-
You should listen to Owl City's next record, All Things Bright and Beautiful.
Talking shit about some of my favorite songs
This album in unique. It may be corny but I love it
i think fireflies is about Ambien. sounds like it too.
All things bright and beautiful
man out of all of Owl Citys albums, All things bright and beautiful would have been the better place to start hahahaha
Vanilla Twilight> Fireflies
There are some excellent melodies on this record...but yeah, there's a good few bad songs to go with the good ones. Also, the bonus tracks Hot Air Balloon are Strawberry Avalanche are imo at least as catchy as anything else on the main record.
Favourite songs: Cave In, On the Wing, Fireflies, Tip of the Iceberg
Worst: Umbrella Beach, Dental Care, Bird and the Worm
yo i really like the tip of the iceberg
I got a toothpaste ad right at the start of dental care and didn’t notice for a whole 10 seconds
cant believe people like this exist
Now you gotta do a video on the postal service
If you can't understand poetry or art (which clearly you don't) then stop making album reviews like these. It takes a lot to understand an artist and what they are trying to convey through the music. I don't know if it's because of your ADHD but I couldn't help but cringe when you kept yawning at some of the slower, less upbeat songs. Pay attention to the production and the lyrics a little more when you review songs and maybe, JUST MAYBE your album reviews will start to become a lot more informative and un biased.
Couldn't have said it better myself, I LOVE Owl City, Alligator sky no rap is 100% one of my favorite songs ever
Damn don't insult Meteor Shower like that
All things bright and beautiful has some amazing songs. React to that one next
Listen to Give Up by The Postal Service
Yes
This was hilarious. Haven’t laughed this much in a while lol.
Umbrella Beach's chorus is one of thr best melodies ever
19:05 no way gd reference
Wasn't expecting this.
Fireflies is my favorite song because of what it talks about. I have had sleep issues.
