In the spirit of 2000s indie classics, emergency and I by the dismemberment plan is beyond essential!

Killing it on choices to react to. These guys are nuts live.

I’d hurt a fly is pure atmospheric indie PERFECTION

I almost spilled everywhere when I saw this noti 😫

One of the greatest albums everrrrr

This album is too huge to absorb in one sitting you did a good job. I hope you go back for more lessons kicked it in the sun is one of my all-time favorite songs.

Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and Small Leaks Sink Ships are my favorite 3 bands.

Listen to Keep it Like a Secret next. It’s their best album in my opinion.

Love the channel and all the reactions. Here's way too many suggestions: John Maus - We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves Lewis - L'Amour Destroyer - Kaputt Autechre - LP5 Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen Ariel Pink - Pom Pom Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand R.E.M. - Murmur Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica Grateful Dead - American Beauty Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance Loose Fur - Loose Fur Steely Dan - Aja Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible Clinic - Internal Wrangler The Verve - Urban Hymns

BrianEno-Here Come the Warm Jets (1974). His best album.

Built to Spill is kind of its own thing but influenced many bands they get no credit for. Duster is kind of the same genre in fact two members of duster were in Built to Spill for a while.

If you like this album, I recommend Keep It Like A Secret and There's Nothing Wrong With Love by the same band

One of my all-time favourite albums, here's my recommendation list: The Wrens - The Meadowlands Self - Subliminal Plastic Motives Bark Psychosis - Codename: Dustsucker Bark Psychosis - Hex 12 Rods - Split Personalities

Amazing album. Would love to hear you check out some Grandaddy albums if you liked this one. Also, gotta do The Moon & Antarctica by Modest Mouse!

One of my favourite albums of all time, I love how Doug Marstsch made an entire album revolving around his struggles with manic depression and the like,only for the very last song on the album to turn to the listener,asking the same question that Doug did throught the whole thing. Just like "Rock 'n Roll suicide" by Bowie,this song cut through to me so fucking hard when I first listened to it. "You don't like anything,0cause you're unlikable,all because you're not interested in you anymore"

“If there’s a word for you, it doesn’t mean anything” is the biggest burn ever.

You gotta do a Death Cab album if you haven't already, my vote goes to Transatlanticism or Narrow Stairs, both really atmospheric groovy records that this album heavily reminds me of!

Love this album so much. Top 5 for me. I don’t know what genre but I call it swirly guitar indie rock. I want you to know I appreciate the thought you put into your comments! Especially when it’s a favorite album, one hopes you’ll catch the special verses/sounds/etc and mention it after, and you killed it with this one! Another excellent record they have is Keep It Like a Secret. Similar vibe but shorter, punchier tunes. It’s fantastic. Cheers!

phones weren’t allowed during finals but I had to tune in for this reaction🔥finna get expelled🔥🔥

All time favorite album with my all time favorite song (Velvet Waltz) loved the reaction dude. Ill be combing through your other vids 👍

Some albums i would love if you reacted to: Queens of the stone age - Like clockwork System Of A Down - Self Titled The Clash - London Calling Gorillaz - Demon Days The Voidz - Virtue

OH MY FUCKING GOD, FINALLY. Thanks for the reaction bro, one of my fav albums of all time. You should react to some The Doors 🗿

Fugazi - Repeater and The Argument 🔥 Two fantastic albums.. I'll think you'll find a lot to enjoy in both. 🙂

Smags never fails to make my toes curl

One of those albums that either changes your life, or it’s just pretty good. Hardly any in-between.

I was waiting for this one :) Seems like you really got immersed in this album's sound because you didn't comment much while listening, haha. That's not a complaint though, I get it. Keep It like a Secret is their other masterpiece and you should definitely check it out. It's more "normal" structurally and the songs are shorter and poppier, if I can say so, so that's why it maybe doesn't stand out as much in the indie rock scene. In terms of quality it's pretty much on the same level though. It also contains their most popular song! Not gonna name it though, try to figure it out yourself Other legendary indie rock albums that you need to react to are The Moon & Antarctica by Modest Mouse and Emergency & I by The Dismemberment Plan. I've been requesting the first one on your videos from time to time so perhaps you remember some of the things I said (probably not since you get so many requests but whatever). The production on it is not as aggressive as on The Lonesome Crowded West so I'm sure in that sense it'll appeal to you more. For me it's an S-tier album and really, there's not a single complaint I have for it. I don't expect you to be as enthusiastic as me but I have a good feeling you'll react positively to it. It's certainly not a happy album and has a cold and melancholic sound (accurately conveyed by the title). It should fit the current season though, so don't miss out on it, heh. You'll probably forget about it but one thing that I highly recommend is to listen to the track Night on the Sun off the eponymous EP. It was made around the time this album was recorded and man, this song blows my mind every time. As much as I love almost everything from early Modest Mouse, I don't think anything tops this one The second album (Emergency & I) is also amazing. A great mix of neurotic energy, creative sound and clever and occasionally funny lyrics. Early 20s (talking about your age, not 2020s) is THE time to get into this album, haha. I also have to say that while this album is quite well-known, at least among indie rock fans, the band is kinda forgotten which is unfair. Their next album Change is almost as brilliant but it seems like no one ever talks about it for some reason. If you really like E&I, it'll be awesome if you check it out as well

Hell ya. Now you got to check out perfect from now on and you in reverse. All of them are good imo. One of my favorite memories is I bought a new car, took it out - the weather was beautiful- windows down and I was listening to velvet waltz. The a guy who looked to be in his 80s was in a car next to me and hollered “ hey I really like that music, that sounds great” ( in a sincere way). It was very unexpected and it put me in the best mood ever.

please do sunbather next :)

YUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSS LETS GO SMAGS

Everytime I see you upload I'm so happy!! Genuinely this is one of my favorite channels out there. You already know, you should check out Jim O'Rourke "live at Japan 2002.9.16" (thanks to these comments I know the title by heart now, but is it "at" or "in" Japan?). Anyway I'll wait however long to see the reaction I only want you to listen to this album cause I want to share it's beauty!

still rooting for broken social scene you forgot it in people!!

Bro you can react to: Clube da Esquina - Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges ★ (Blackstar) - David Bowie Mount Eerie - The Microphones Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown Donuts - J Dilla The Forever Story - JID 22, A Milion - Bon Iver

What I like most about your channel is that I can actually discover new music watching you thanks Smags. Allsosome emo would be sick Deja Entendu by Brand New is an amazing experience. I loved this album aswell. ❤️

Oh dang didn't expect a BTS album. Definitely for the modest mouse fans !🎉 recommending Third eye blinds self titled for a classic 2000s pick.

Day 3 of asking I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes

Awesome video as always. This album is probably in my top5. I recommend Texas Jerusalem crossroads by Lift to Experience.

the last 3 minutes of i wpould hurt an fly...best piece of music written in 50 years...maybe ever

Bro you’re the absolute goat with these reactions! haircut maybe soon?

Some of the greatest guitar work I’ve ever heard on this record

Let’s fucking gooooooo day made love this album prolly my fav album from the 90’s

please either do filosofem by burzum or more Elliott Smith 🙏

love this album, still hoping for a sparklehorse reaction some time

I haven't heard this one but going by the comments in past vids, people love it. Look forward to checking out . Nearly at 10k dude.. Everything Everything - get to heaven or Giles corey will get you there 😬🤟

Built to Spill is the best! Oldie but a banger! Velvet Waltz is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Definitely my favorite live band. Great review, you should check the newest album, "When the wind forgets your name". Its amazing. Keep it up!👍

You GYATT to do a Yo La Tengo reaction

Goateddddd album, i know you reacted to The Lonesome Crowded West, you should definitely check out Moon and Antarctica!

Love built to spill! Recommendations Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven Arca - Kick I-IIIII

bro reacts to banger album after banger album, you love to see that

Great album! you should check out Emergency & I by Dismemberment Plan

If you're having doubts about the genre I'd say it's indie rock/ art rock. Post Rock is generally caracterized by songs with big build ups and a focus on texture, which to be fair this album has to an extent, but a much better example is what you heard from Swans. Not that any of this matters tho, just nerd shit after all.

I come again to recommend Chilean indie rock band called Niños del Cerro, specially the album Lance. PD: I love your analysis, saludos desde Chile

If you happen to do another Animal Collective video anytime soon…Centipede Hz., Time Skiffs, or Isnt’t It Now? 🍻

Great fuckin album choices my man

I like this band more than Radiohead

Yooooooooo let’s goooooo

Love this album. Heavily recommend Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame

I love jungkook (LISTEN TO GILES GOREY ❗️❗️❗️❗️)

Gotta hit Keep It Like A Secret by them next

YES

never missing.

Velvet Waltz give me goof bumps 😝🎸

I Would Hurt A Fly >>>>

Please do another Elliott smith reaction and as usual, great vid

Peak 90s indie!!! Being that guy again: would love an A I A: Alien Observer reaction/review. Would mean the world.

Let’s get that third eye blind album rolling

George clanton put out an amazing 90’s psych pop album this year, filled with lush sound scapes and amazing melodies. I always gotta give a shout out to Parannoul -after the magic

I think Doug is an underrated lyricist as well, he writes some really cool shit

Gotta react to “KEEP IT LIKE A SECRET” from built to spill. Their best by far

Bout to busss

Love me some BTS on a Thursday afternoon 4eva is a Mighty Long Time reaction WHEN 😭😭

oh you GOTTA hear their latest album

My duuude.. Tom Waits - Rain Dogs 🔥

Day whatever of asking for Ys by Joanna Newsom!!

Look forward everyday for a new video. Love the reactions. You should listen to Brighten the Corners by pavement.

Mirror might steal your charm by the garden (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

I recommend Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we? - The Cranberries

on the topic of classic early 2000’s indie, check out “Plus, Minus, Equals” by The Velvet Teen. Short, 9 song album with some interesting production and catchy instrumentals/vocals

smags u are absolutely hitting every banger out of the park, i know u get a billion recs but if u dont have NFR or ultraviolence by lana del rey near the top i HIGHLY suggest them i think it would be cool to see a genre ive rarely seen u do.❤

oh my god yes

yayay

You should do Keep It Like a Secret by Built To Spill!

Bluffer's Guide To The Flight Deck- Flotation Toy Warning

yeeeaeaah thanks soft bulletin next???

You should check out "keep it like a secret" it's built to spills best album imo

brother if you don’t review Brand New’s The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, the sorrow you will bring me is indescribable. Understand the power you hold

yo smags, i was wondering if apart from albums youre up for listening to EPs and singles? you could also like give feedback on your subscribers music (if there is any lmao) i think it would be pretty sick.

FINALLUYYURDJFSA!!!

still loving the videos my guy a few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

DAY 4 OF ASKING FOR PET SOUNDS PLSSS

Day 17 of asking for Slide by George Clanton

This albums great but keep it like a secret is my favorite

You should react to You’d Prefer An Astronaut by Hum! Or their album Downward is Heavenward.

day 13(?) of requesting twilight by boa, love the content

Because of your age and interest in making music, I think you'd really dig Sebadoh - The Freed Man.

Let’s gooooo sorry for being annoying but I really think it’s worth it. My next rec will be Gustavo Cerati- Bocanada as it is really catchy and a very fun listen

you should checkout orange by fishmans, it was in their more dub era type music but its still really nice :D

Please react “just for a day” by slowdive

Can you please react to mbv by My Bloody Valentine? It is a very good album I think you will like.

Day 9 of asking Smags to listen to: Portishead - Third King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland

Day 13 of requesting Promises by Pharoah Sanders (pls i need to see this on your end of year list)
