Beach House came into my life a few years ago. The first song I ever heard from them was actually Myth and it blew my mind! And soon after, I discovered Depression Cherry, and it literally saved my life, when I was going through a dark time mentally a few years ago. If you ever listen to that album, you’ll understand the power and magic it has, and I just thank you Beach House, for coming into my life at the right moment ❤️

I envy the fact that you're listening to all these albums for the first time

One of the most magical moments of my life was sitting on a quiet beach, moments away from a storm, wind blowing, waves crashing, listening to On the Sea.

man i just adore seeing others experience music for the first time

myth is literally one of the best songs ever, i always forget just how incredible it is until i go back and listen to it

Welcome to Beach House. You're never the same again once you listen to them.

It’s criminal we have yet to get anymore Beach House

I think you would really enjoy Sufjan Stevens’- Carrie&Lowell. Totally different to his other albums and much more calm/ heartbreaking

I remember hearing this album for the first time back in 2012 and being blown away like you were in this video. Like, this kind of music exists???? wtf They're my absolute favorite band now. They are so consistently incredible

HOLD UP... your comment about Hurricane Irene made me realize that the silence between the main song and the hidden track was like the eye of the storm passing over, where everything was chaos, became still and silent, and then started up again once the eye had passed... idk if that's right, but in my mind it makes sense :)

I always understood Irene being about death. The first half talks about death coming and wanting to stay, then reassuring you that death is a strange paradise with ideas of an afterlife. However we dont truly know what happens after death, and it could truly just be nothing. Nothing but silence. But then the music comes back, because there’s always the chance there is a ‘strange paradise’ waiting, the kind of paradise you like.

Yes other Beach House albums please! Teen Dream is my suggestion

One of my favorite albums of all time, and your reactions were all on-point and such a joy to watch. This is an absolutely brutal breakup album, and so is their album just before this, Teen Dream. One you'll either want to steer totally clear of next time you experience a breakup, or one to sink into and just let those feelings subsume you.

10/10 album!! I love your choices

Beach house is like listening to some nostalgic memories (but you’re listening to it for the first time ) I listened or knew about beach house like three years ago and since then whenever I listen to their albums it’s like I’m listening to the song for the first time again

you're seriously making the best album reaction content on this site right now. i'm not very great when it comes to attention spans but you're able to make any album interesting to me. i know this isn't a lot of people's favourite but by far my #1 beach house record is depression cherry. its stunningly beautiful and is one of the few albums that can take me to another world. i definitely do recommend it. great video as always!

I love The Hours so much, such a chill song 🥰

I’d definitely listen to Teen Dream, then Depression Cherry. Teen Dream was extremely influential in the music world and it’s kinda where Beach House “found” their sound. Kendrick samples a song from Teen Dream and Tame Impala was extremely inspired by this album (“Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” was written as a continuation of “Walk in the Park”!)

waiting on that beach house 7 reaction review king

god i wish i could listen to this album for the first time again 😭

I had thought to recommend Beach House on your Weyes Blood video, and here we are! You should definitely dive into their other albums.

minecraft let’s play would actually go crazy. u gotta listen to jar of flies by alice in chains or in utero by nirvana they are THE fall albums and i think you’d really enjoy them.

Bloom is such a pretty record, loved seeing you react to the album ♥ Would definitely recommend candy claws for a similar dreamy atmosphere, Ceres and Calypso and Two Airships/ Exploder falls are some of my favorite records of all time.

Hey Smags, great reaction. You’ve already reacted to some of my fav albums of all time, so thanks for doing so! If you loved Bloom then you’ll love the rest of Beach House’s discography as well. They are one of the most consistent bands in their sound I’ve ever heard, and every album is quality. I suggest trying out “The Resistance” by Muse, I think out of all their albums this is the one most up your alley! (You’ll have fun with arpeggios 😂)

Love this review, the man is vibing as I was when I first heard it. In my top 5 albums ever for sure

YOUR REACTIONS ARE EVERYTHING TO ME AND EXACTLY HOW I FEELLLL

lets fucking go! you're a real one for reacting to this! Bloom is my second favorite BH album and I love it so much, but my personal favorite BH album is their debut/self titled, the reason being is because of the nostalgia I get from it and theres this melancholic cozy warm aspect to it that just makes it my personal fav so i highly recommend to give it a listen if youd like. The album is also very underrated and many people dont really care for it but idk maybe youd like it. Keep at it your vids make my day man!

Why is it so funny to watch people reacting quality music, while they are trully enjoying it. Loved it!

Bra you about to listen to Teen Dream for the 1st time?… I’ve never been more envious

BTW Irene has a hidden track, its only 6 or 7 minutes but another song comes on.

Yes! Great album to start from them too. Looking forward to watching this when I get off work cause I know you're going to love it

This is my favorite album of all time. I believe they said this album was an exploration of abstract ideas and feelings they had while touring on their breakout album Teen Dream. My favorite track is for sure Other people, the way I interpret it is how beautiful connection and community is and that fact that we can just connect with other people is something we can take for granted very easily. If you liked this is definitely recommend listening to Teen Dream, Bloom definitely back pedals on the sound of that album but Teen Dream feels more lush while Bloom feels more electric

Wow a beach house reaction out of the blue ❤ The sounds on this album just hit all the right receptors of my ears and brain.

This is my comfort album and comfort band, would love to see you do other beach house :D

New Year is one of my favourite songs ever

For me, Bloom is the best album out of all.

what a great review , love the content ❤️

good stuff! you definitely gotta check out Depression Cherry if youre wanting to listen to more Beach House (this is the album with Space Song :) )

Nice never too late to check this album out. I first heard this about couple of years ago and probably is the best Beach House album. Wild is my favorite

Figured I'd finally dump some suggestions: Tears for Fears - The Hurting (New-Wave Synthpop) PJ Harvey - Rid of Me (Rock) The Postal Service - Give Up (Indie Pop) The Antlers - Hospice (Indie Rock) The Decemberists - Picaresque (Indie/Folk Rock) My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade (Emo/Rock) Also just more Bowie and Sufjan Stevens whenever you can get to it.

I found you recently and I love your reactions and the choice of albums you react to. I feel like your music taste aligns with mine more than any other reactor out there. I tried this album about a year ago and loved it, but I haven't gone back since. I watched this and it made me go back lol it's amazing. I'll throw in some more albums to check out if you haven't yet: Origin of Symmetry - Muse Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys Cat Heaven - Roy Blair The Forever Story - JID The New Abnormal - The Strokes Broken Machine - Nothing But Thieves

Haven’t listened to this album in a while…it was great for a time. It’d be super dope to see you jump into some mewithoutYou. They have multiple 10/10 records but Brother, Sister is a great place to start 🍻

A reaction to slide or ooh rap I ya by George clanton would be amazing 🙏

One of my favourite albums! I highly recommend M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming if you want more of that movie grandiose soundtrack style!

Love Beach House. This is a great album. I'd recommend two of Cut Copy's albums. 'Bright Like Neon Love' and 'In Ghost Colours'. I'd also recommend a newer album by The Blaze called 'Jungle'. Also, I like the album backdrop!

at the drive-in - relationship of command

idk if you have but if you haven’t, you should listen to Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins. One of Beach House’s influence is Cocteau Twins and you can hear it in songs like New Year imo.

‘The Girl, the Cat and the Tree’ - lausse the cat OR ‘Mourn’ - Corbin, my commitment is unwavering

One of my favorite comfort albums 😊

If i remember correctly Crystal Castles sampled Other People on Kept, a single that was only available on the fiscal copies of their album Amnesty (I)

One of my favorite Beach House Albums!!

I love other people. Listened to it way too much this year

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU I NEEDED THAT REACTION

Have you heard Depression Cherry?

The last track after the silence is actually a separate song called "Wherever You Go"

Awesome to see you review this. Great album, but I'm always exhausted after I listen to it. I always preferred Teen Dream personally. If you like this kind of cinematic music, I think you'd love M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

I dont recall if you've already reacted to Weyes Blood but youd undoubtedly like her music :)

Teen Dream album will blow you away!

another banger video but i am back once again to reccomend aia: alien observer by grouper......... her other album dragging a dead deer up a hill is much closer to the sound of this beach house record, but much more folky and ambient. i think you could really love her stuff, its very pretty.

Please I would love you to listen to Entertainment, Death by Spirit of the Beehive. its not really a classic but the sound of the album is so unique and I think you will enjoy it:)

I have recommendations that are perfect for this time of the year: The Wrens - The Meadowlands (indie rock) Bark Psychosis (any album - post-rock) Keep it up!

React to their most recent album Once Twice Melody next. It's truly an adventure!!!

Love the videos! A few recommendations: Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan or White Pony - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)

Feels like yesterday I congratulated you on 5k and now you’re already close to 6? Nah you’re getting too good at this 🙌 Suggestion: The Money Store by Death Grips. Just kidding, not yet. Obviously Silent Alarm by Bloc Party

My favorite album ever made, and my only 10/10. Loved the review, that exact same spot in On The Sea kills me too

You should react to Four of Arrows by Great Grandpa. Really cool blend of rock and shoegaze with some country notes, cool songwriting about family and nature and has cool harmonies.

oh this gonna be a banger for sure.

Would definitely recommend listening to Interpol's second album Antics. Very good album.

Beach house end up changing your life in the way they sound, Bloom is a superb album, but not their best (in my opinion). Urgently check out Once Twice Melody, their latest album, it transports you into a void, a world only yours. I hope you will eventually react to as many of their albums as possible

Victoria's singing is definitely more raw on Teen Dream, the music is bold and poppy like Bloom, but not as smoothly produced and the songs seem more diverse. Bloom is where they started to become a little pigeonholed in their sound imo. This could be nostalgia talking, I remember seeing them tour right before Teen Dream came out and hearing Norway for the first time

yeah i really need to listen to this one! rec: red house painters (rollercoaster) - red house painters

I've always interpreted the final line in on the sea to be about being born, and how weird it is "to be anything at all" - jefy gumgum

i think you might enjoy “digital spool” by jazz emu, its mostly satire, but it unironically sounds amazing.

I really think you'd dig the ethereal/instrumental stuff in Judgement by Anathema. And the lyricism in Reconstruction Site by The Weakerthans Also how you feel about checking out some metal albums? There's some pretty atmospheric stuff there

they were my favorite band around the time teen dream came out.. i haven't listened to this album that much

Frances the Mute by The Mars Volta pleasseee!!

I think you would like "Somewhere City" by Origami Angel. It's a really fun and catchy album. Definitely a change of pace from this album

Loving your channel and subscribed! Loving your reactions to albums. You give really great, honest, candid reactions. Would love to see your reactions to: "Dragonslayer" by Sunset Rubdown "Shut Up, I Am Dreaming" by Sunset Rubdown "Apologies to the Queen Mary" by Wolf Parade "Fevers and Mirrors" by Bright Eyes "Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground" by Bright Eyes

please do Lost and safe by The Books - one of my faves

Arcade fire funeral plz!!

Time for that minecraft lets play

Check out Sleep by Flatsound! It's similar to The Glow pt. 2. It's got that lo-fi acoustic music, only more acoustic, with more ambiance.

You would enjoy Frailty by Jane Remover

Oh Goodie

based on the sea love

Great vid! I recommend listening to "the idiot" by iggy pop. Great record

if you ever need a break from music that makes you want to cry Ceres and Calypso in the Deep Time by Candy Claws is a 10/10 that just turned 10 years old
