Brad is 1st with an Billie Eilish review, before ARTV, Before Spectrum Pulse, Before theneedledrop. Stepping it up, bradley. Keep it up

*is listening to wish you were gay* “the lyrics make no sense” whole fanbase: *quaking*

btw her producer is her brother FINNEAS they literally do their songs together in some bedroom studio that's where all those strange musical decisions come from

I get what your saying and respect your honest opinion but, I think it’s cool when she plays different characters in her writing. She has even said the reason she does that is because she believes that you don’t need to have to literally experience what u write about, for example, you don’t have to fall in love to write a song about it. So when she writes like this “badass” character, it’s not her trying to say she is just soooo angsty like that, it’s simply her playing a character. Btw I love your reviews, it really makes me look at different music with a bigger perspective, I’ve actually learned a lot just watching your channel so, keep it up! Your channel is awesome!

The album’s title looks like a pre-hiatus FOB song title

I love your brutal honesty, I wish more people reacted & reviewed like you

I like how you actually give reasons as to why you don’t like certain parts of the album. I personally love her album. More reviewers/critics should be like you 👍🏽

When shes more mature, I'd say around her 3rd album maybe, if she sticks with the creepy/horror or "dark" style aesthetic shes incorporated into her music she could honestly make a GREAT dark ass album

“i wish you were gay” sounds like the title of a song Kurt cobain would write about himself

Ilomilo is my favorite off the album

One of the greatest channels out there. Keep doing what you do, Bradley- it’s amazing.

kermit is watching me and i am uncomfortable

I’ve listened to this album probably 3-4 times since it came out yesterday just trying to figure out what I think of it. I’ve enjoyed it for the most part but I definitely agree with so much of what you’re saying. You’re an amazing reviewer, keep doing what you’re doing.

Yeah I'm not a fan of her lyrics but her overall sound and production by her brother is fantastic.

I can tell youre either gonna hate it or love it depending on your opinion on the production because I can already tell you’re gonna hate the lyrics lol. I’m split on the production

Missed this format so much!

Not gonna lie I actually enjoyed this album

i definitely agree with you when you say when she strips back, it’s amazing. and that’s why when the party’s over works. her vocals are so good on their own.

Billie has talked about how she likes to put on personas for songwriting ex: Bellyache and You Should See Me In A Crown shes not "trying to be edgy" its her own characters

I agree with your point about her persona being the thing that throws some of her songs off but I also think that the persona is real to her. Since she’s still a teenager and has obviously had bad experiences, she most likely created a tough “cool guy” persona to guard off others. While it doesn’t come off as genuine I don’t think her intention is to publicly look like the “cool edgy girl” it’s just a real part of her that is a cover up for her vulnerability, as seen in her “good” and “genuine” songs

Lemme comment without finishing the video real quick

yOu WhErE dOiNg So gOoD, tHe SoNg WaS dOiNg So GoOd

Am i the only one who thinks he slightly looks like kurtis conner? *_yeeyee_*

Finally my favorite emo cynical fluffy haired music reviewer is back

No lie, its so fucking weird but I love this damn album. Its so different and super just interesting when not many people would do anything she's done in a lot of these songs

Not gonna lie bad guy reminds me of is that your girl and I kinda want someone to make a mashup

once you’ve heard 3 billie eilish songs, you’ve heard them all.

This album lives up to it's hype for me. She's definitely one of the best young talents out there

I think the divide between people who like her and people who don't is whether you can appreciate the symbolism and metaphors that she always has in her lyrics. For me, she doesn't come off as cringe or tryhard whatsoever because I know she is telling me a story or trying to express a feeling. But some people just find that cringe and that's okay. Like even in her videos you can say she is being cringe by playing the monster persona or whatever but for Bury A Friend she is not trying to come off as scary she is trying to visualize what it feels like to suffer from sleep paralysis and I feel like she really captures it. For Bellyache when she pretends to be a serial killer she is just doing that, playing a character. Saying thats cringe is like saying any actor is cringe for "trying too hard to be something they are not"

9:59 Bro Andrew Tate wasn't even a thing back then!!! wtf was that? Brad time traveler confirmed.

Thank you for actually being honest. everyone else who reacts say the same things and can’t say anything bad.

I love the Brad eating chips asmr that you've added

“Is That Yo Girl?” is a banger

WATCH OUT FOR THE STANS BUD

I would like very much if you react to Melanie Martinez's "Cry Baby" album

I'm not angry I just... don't understand how the lyrics to Wish You Were Gay don't make sense. She genuinely spells it out for the listener. Just perplexed.

her brother produced and helped co write her album, she has the materials and money now to hire professional producers and all that but i respect that she sticks to her roots. she knows what made her popular and knows what her fans like, a big producer would probably ruin that for her. she’s a kid who loves her edgy persona but also likes to tear it down in slow ballads every now and then. this album is by no means perfect but i respect it a lot more than a lot of other albums honestly.

i'm here for listen before i go, i bet it's your fav. Edit: her brother produced most or all of the tracks in this album

bradley looks like a 30 year old man who’s aging too quickly

holycrap he looks a lot like a young Chris Martin from Coldplay

Tell me why my man lookin like Scott pilgrim live action at 8:14 !? 😂👏

Don’t like her lyrics much at all but I really liked the line ‘...To be talking to you, belladonna// should’ve taken a break, not an Oxford comma’ The implications with belladonna->toxicity and the rhyme with Oxford comma One of the better lyrics I’ve heard in pop so far this year Overall not a massive fan of Billie tho

When the party's over is definitely my favorite song off of this album. Theres something artistic and genuine about the song as a whole. Great harmonies and the message is simple too

I really like how honest you are when you react to things. Which other reacters don't do. I also like how you know what you're talking about when you are explaining the music's structure and texture. I love this video

You look more homeless than usual

Hi, How you Doin P.S I Already Reacted to the Album and I Loved it. I fell asleep right after listening to it because it was like 1:00 AM

Finneas' back must hurt from carrying her entire career

Thanks so much for this brad, keep on being amazing I’m so proud of you and enjoy your work a lot

you used to look like young Tyler Joseph. plsdon'tjudgethiscomment

I like this album personally, but I appreciate your honesty

You went in and I loved it. 10/10

Most of her songs are written from the perspective of a character she’s created so I can see how it seems ingenuine

You’re great you’re literally great you’re unbiased and intelligent you’re so good at explaining stuff and you present it in a really creative and different way I love Anthony fantano and he knows a lot about music but your reviews are more entertaining and more personal in a way we need more channels like yours not too casual and head boppy not too formal and technical Okay I’ll stop eating your ass continue

people deadass are trying to swap out lana del ray with billie as “the queen of alternate” like she’s good but not groundbreaking

7:26 I love that stutter effect they put on her vocals. Really unique and badass sounding 🔥

When the party's over is the first song I LOOOVED of Billie Eilish. It's what made me want to look into her other songs.

I have the same reaction with "when the party's over" and the rest of the album lol, she is a good singer, and I am sure that her future albums will get better and better

I played this in my friends car... her bass is maxed out, so we all got back massages

it’s nice to see an old fashioned album review

she said that for xanny she did that effect on her voice to almost feel like your suffocating like you would in a room full of smoke which obviously relates to the lyrics. i thought that was a cool way of looking at it.

bad guy: “bruised knees”-Billie “sounds like something’s in her throat”-Brad we all know what’s happening here

Are you gonna react to Dookie by Green Day? I think you'd like it a lot better than American Idiot

I love how honest you are when it comes to reviews! I have seen so many people say they like something because they don’t want that artists fan base to attack. 😂 Keep up the good work!

This is definitely the best and most entertaining format for your reactions and reviews :)

That high hat tangent was one of the funniest things I've heard.

Brad you gotta keep these reactions up you the GOAT!

Honestly idc i liked every single song in this album 😭

You look like discount Michael Cera

I actually like alot of her music for the production, different personal, and dark sound. I really can't think of many artist that sound like her, at least not mainstream artist.

the rating scales always make my day

I love billie and this album too and I respect your opinions

I’ve been subscribed since before you hit 1k and honestly you have improved so much in your reviewing. 👍

You made me laugh so fucking hard when you tapped the high hat over the song I love you Brad

Can you please react to the album Broken Machine by Nothing But Thieves or their self titled album?

this makes me wonder what would you think about crybaby by melanie martinez

listening to this album with headphones is an experience lmao that bass tho

I can't unhear that hi hat now lmao

The thing about this album is that I really want to like it. Her voice is nice(when she actually sings) and the songs sound good. The lyrics are just terrible though, most of them at least. It sounds like something I would write at midnight after reading to much fan fiction. I feel like I’d love this album if she just trashed the dark, edgy, I’m a serial killer, I’m not like other girls, creepypasta cringefest and just wrote simple songs that sound good, or a took a more satirical approach to the whole dark aesthetic kinda like on the beginning of Bad Guy.

I love your videos, keep up the great work and awesome content

omg it's classic brad, i miss you classic brad

I don't see it as a perona . . . she's a storyteller that likes to tell stories from different point of views . . being a psychopath, a person who's committing suicide etc.

I’m glad you did this reaction and I’m excited to watch your next review! It’s nice to see someone so honest, even if I didn’t agree with some of the things you thought. I think it would be interesting if you reacted to some of her music videos, (bury a friend, when the party’s over, you should see me in a crown) and interviews so you could get a better feel for her personality, she’s actually very genuine. Also with bellyache (the song about her killing her friends) wasn’t her trying to be edgy she just thinks it’s interesting to write songs in character and she thought it would be an really interesting way to approach a song. With wish you were gay, it’s about how she likes someone and he doesn’t like her back and it would be easier to handle if it wasn’t anything personal, that he didn’t like her but if he was gay and just didn’t like girls. It’s pretty interesting the way it’s written it counts down, I’m not sure if you noticed “is there a reason we’re not through? Is there a *twelve* step just for you? Our conversations all in blue, *eleven* heys. *ten* fingers pulling on my hair, *nine* times you never made it fair. I ate (*8*) alone at *seven* you were *six* minutes away.” I thought it was pretty good writing- twelve steps are for people with addictions so it’s like she’s addicted to him. The conversations are in blue because she’s the only one texting him so the whole conversations in blue. I just didn’t think you gave the song enough credit but I didn’t catch all of the clever lyrics until I listened to it a few more times haha 😆

Your review is interesting to me, i love the brutal honesty of what you're not aware of. You're only paying attention to the songs themselves and not the meanings behind them or how the lyrics work to full effect and that's pretty fine! That's usually how most people go into a new artist's music, by listening to the song and taking it as is without any current knowledge to work with. I think most her songs got the rewards they did because of the meanings and stories behind them as you'd do with any other song, not just for it's production but how well it'll bring you in it's story, after i learned the story of each song it made me appreciate them and her even more. (Such as All the good girls go to hell, there can be two distinctive stories from that, Global Warming "Once the water starts to rise" and the perspective of Lucifer/Satan on the whole mess that is the human race "Poisoning themselves now, begging for our help, wow.") It probably just takes a few more listens to get used to the beats and to connect the story yourself with what little you know of it, it becomes a fun theorizing time because a lot of her songs can be interpreted in any way people want it to be while still having it's own small cannon. I'm eager to hear your second part of this review/reaction, so far you've made me notice the other side of people who listens to Billie and helped me love Billie even more than i do now with better genuine appreciation knowing that i can see flaws and accept them instead of blindly loving whatever without first hearing every part of what she gives out and considering it.

I like the new album of Billie Eilish's brother.

i personally love this album and disagree with most of what you are saying, but i respect your opinion.

I can’t wait to look at these comments

6:39, everyone glances at discord

He needs to remember she’s only 17 she hasn’t found her sound yet. Judging someone who is new to music this hard is kinda cold but I mean he’s being honest I gotta respect it.

Loved the vid! (sidenote, would you react to Paramore. like the newer album?)

that thing he said about the nightmare before Christmas vibe: *thats what I feel about all of her songs*

Someone upvote this so he see's it. That vocal effect at 7:09 sounds like a LFO effect chained from the bass (Low-frequency oscillation). It's what's used in dubstep to make a bass wobble. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I would've done it.

Hey brad, can you do a first reaction to That’s the spirit by bmth! Btw, loved the video

Billie Eilish sounds like a sixteen year old doing an impression of Lana Del Ray doing an impression of Lorde

I don't understand, do you expect girls to be fun all the time, this is sexism, everyone feels the pain of humanity, they are human, we are not toys, we are also human.

To think this won aoty at the Grammys

My fav is definitely xanny and I’m so happy you liked it too! I felt very validated considering I really like her stuff and you don’t seem too impressed 😂

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS HOLY SHIT

TBH I completely agree with ur opinion

I really liked the honest review. I think you may have some misconceptions about her personality/persona tho. She's 100% being who she is, she isn't putting any front nor she is a "serial killer"/badass. That's the common misconception of who only looks at her from far away. She's just not "normal". It's weird to see but it doesnt mean she's faking it. And im not the typical teenage chick that idolizes her. Just a grown ass man that loved of the ocean eyes remixes at the time and upon finding out that she was only 13, has been following her evolution. I like some stuff she does, don't like others.
