Endless when???
Blonde came out 10 years ago today Changed the world 🥹☕️
THERE WILL BE MOUNTAINS YOU WON'T MOOOOVVVVEEEE
Self control is devastatingly beautiful.
Connor in thong mode
this album was so formative for me. its so funny to see kevin craving drums on Ivy because that song, at least to me, is perfection. it’s exactly what it needed to be for me at 16 falling in love for the first time. gives me chills
❤️🩹❤️🩹 your banter in between solo and skyline to made me emotional because i started watching you guys with your Arctic Monkeys AM (one of my favorite albums ever) reaction back in 2022. I was in such a dark place and chronically holed up in my room on youtube. I fell in love with you guys and your humor, I’ve always appreciated Kevin’s transparency about his own mental health and how music effects him and how much joy Conor gets getting to show his dad music that he’s grown up with. Listening to how Kevin’s grown in his musical journey has just shown me how much I have by listening to you guys, music and albums I never would’ve listened to, I watched you guys react to and have such a deeper appreciation for creative choices. Now 3 years later, i’m in such a better mental state, and I listen to y’all at night on graveyard shifts. Much love from Texas! (accepted the fact that i’ll never get to tell y’all this in person) P.S still waiting for y’all to cover ‼️Laufey ‼️ and ‼️Renee Rapp‼️
Wow jolie you seem like a great person and it’s super cool cause I had quite a similar experience with them. I also love(d) AM and their reaction videos which got me into these wonderful guys. And then also experiencing a personal journey while following along with the growth of their channel. Sending much love 💕
Two Blonde reactions and still no Endless reaction 🥲 (Great video obviously I just need to hear how y’all feel I will literally send you the files of a rip directly from the vinyl)
Enjoy the lyrical content as well as the production! Some of the most genius writing and motifs and what not.. one of the best albums of all time for sure
Need this for 22 A Million
1:10:15 Kevin if you would like to hear him really LET LOOSE vocally you should listen to his cover of ‘at your best’
Kanye is on white Ferrari he’s a background adding towards the end he just says “love”
22:00 really puts life into perspective for me, bc I rememeber when you guys first started making vids I was really going through a reactionary content phase. And when I watched the first few vids I could tell that Kev was alot more reserved and "on the fence" so to speak about some of the music being shown to him. Now I feel like I know the guy, he's so bubbly and down for new weird shit. It's given me the courage to show my own father some music, which he showed me a majority of the older gen classics and hidden gems, but is very reserved with his music taste. Hopefully he'll come around, but witnessing this relationship between you both grow over the years has been the next best thing. Thank you guys :,)
Also, I think Kev's ready for Endless
I remember watching the original video thinking this is gonna be exciting… but ended up being bummed out over your pops reaction, but then I remembered I didn’t like blonde my first listen either it. Blonde took me over a year to fall in love with and that’s why this reaction made me giddy and excited to watch … such an experience wish I could re listen to this album again for the first time
Kevin mentions different versions of ivy with drums and they definitely did that while recording, they did several different versions of basically every song had different people on different versions, Zach Hill from DG famously recorded stuff they didn’t use for Blonde. Im p sure different versions exist somewhere online plus he did different versions of a couple songs i remember Nights for sure at his infamous Coachella set that i personally absolutely love
please react to zorb by sycco !!!!!
Ooo yall should do the new Frost Children album :)
react to LATIN MAFIA’s last album guys it’s amazingg
i second this!!!
Hope you read this because i’m not usually a commenter, but have to let you know that i really appreciate you guys. Been following since that mbdtf reaction and have to say that 4 years have gone really fast. But you guys have always been there to brighten me up even in the worst times. I lost my dad at a young age to cancer and he was as much as a music lover as Kevin is. I would have loved to do this with him and i know he would have loved it too. So thank you guys for making it feel like the real thing. Hope you get to enjoy good music with eachother for a very long time. I’ll definitely keep tuning in! <3
I'm so happy that Kevin got to appreciate this album
PLEASE REACT TO BLACK ON BOTH SIDES
Kevin’s voice from 4 years ago sounds like Connor
PLEASE react to Interpol - Turn on the bright lights!!!!
Love your seigfried analogy about the amount of space/people walking into a room 🤣
I think we all would love to hear both your takes on Frank Ocean’s Endless. Released one day before Blond to satisfy his record label contract it’s not available on streaming so it’s less known but just as experimental as Blond but with a complete different vibe. Love the revisit of Blond, it’s such a joy watching you both grow around these albums that mean so much to so many people. ❤️
I’m with you on this. It’s crazy cause for me Blonde will always be my favourite Frank Ocean album, but it’s so heavy and gut wrenching that sometimes I find myself drifting more towards Endless. It’s more digestible in its length. But the emotional outpour into both is quite dense regardless.
I need this for In Rainbows! :(
TRIBE CALLED QUEST?!
Breach when?
BREACH
im'a need that breach boys
gotta do breach!
requesting more spanish from yallll 🥹 YHLQMDLG by bad bunny, or any rauw alejandro album!!! feid is also amazing! 😩
Random comment reminding you to do cave World please :)
testing with my favorite song on channel orange, love it.
tim hortons is the best. iced chai latte, everything croissant sandwich.
Since young thug is dropping Uy Scuti this Friday can we PLEASEEEEE get barter 6 before then?
Calling it, 1million+ views like your first Blonde reaction
Tv girl reaction pls 🙏
You guys must react to the 1975 self titled!! So good
Healthy dopamine source = first 10secs of this intro on repeat
have yall considered doing endless? last frank infinity stone at least for now 🥲
PLEASE LISTEN TO WOLF ALICE’S ‘THE CLEARING’ I BEG AND BEG AND PLEAD
Please can you look into PRESSURE - Julia Wolf and Hicky - Royel Otis?
Julia Wolf seems like something connor would really mess with!
Love this revisiting concept! Blonde is my personal fav album oat and it's great to see yall revisit it. Would love an "Endless - Frank Ocean" reaction and a revisit of "TPAB". Considering it was Kevins first hiphop record and I'd want to hear what Kevin has to say about it now with all the listening experience he has.
I will die for kevin
Dijon edged me and Ethel Cain gooned me - Kevin 2025
Please react to Kendrick Lamar EP. 🙏🙏
Seeing Parachutes just sneaking its way onto the screen makes me want a coldplay reaction badly
Dude same!!
Thank you for doing this - amazing re-reaction
they’re saying it’s time for another bad bunny album
You guys should react to some Alex G, he did some of the guitar on this album. I think Kevin would love his guitar work.
PLS REACT TO BREACHHHH
Thank you guys for doing this I listen to y’all’s videos while pushing carts at work and it makes work so much more fun and I’ve been wanting to listen to blond with you guys while working but it wasn’t on here 🙏
i do the same thing except i pick soda and load trucks😂
Lean's only on Godspeed, although I did also believe it was him on Self Control for the longest time, as it seems everyone did lol. So glad you guys did this relisten, can't wait for the inevitable Endless reaction. I envy Kevin for being able to experience that for the first time 🤲 Great stuff as always !
Please react to anything by 5SOS I beggg youuuuuu!
I can’t wait for channel orange rewatch
Pls do hurry up we’re dreaming
When we getting that saheem reaction 🙏
Wolf and Beyonce self titled both feature Frank 👀👀👀👀
can we get a KING KRULE reaction?🤔👀🤞🏽
Car seat headrest reaction im begging😭
I never realised how affordable this patreon was and the level uo from YouTube to this was amazing for someone as big a fan as me, also I don’t know how to get in the discord or how to recommend albums so if someone could help me that would be amazing!
This was awesome! Waiting patiently for data :(
Factssss😭
A Speakerboxxx/The Love Below reaction would be nice 🥺
Not sure if you could get away with posting it on YouTube since the material isn’t on streaming, but his debut mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra would be a great listen lots of 808s influence and just Frank finding his style before Channel Orange. Plenty of classics on there
It’s on Patreon! we tried YouTube but multiple songs were getting blocked
your dad would love endless btw
They need to do Endless🙏
LONG TIME I WAITED FOR FULL REACT OF THIS ALBUM! PLEASE OLSO DO TPAB🙏
Yes TPAB would be amazing🙏
Coloring booook!
barter 6 when 🙏
yes endless next
Meanwhile, 978th day of asking for LOVELESS ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ p.s. 'Self Control' probably the best track Frank has EVER done... omg that lead break "I I I know you gotta leave leave leave"... cries.. 👏🏼
Love this episode!! I always wanted to see the original video but I couldn't find it anywhere. So glad you guys reacted to this again 🙏😭❤️
Connor edged me 😩 and Kevin gooned me 🤩
Aphex Twin when? 💀
now you GOTTA do Endless. Some of his best singing is on that album. So overlooked, sadly… Especially since you were wondering about his upper register and stuff. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I know you guys joked about re-listening to Circles and Swimming (given Kevin has listened so much) but I would love to watch you guys re-listen to albums you’re familiar with - and hear you guys talk about why you love them.
i love this! if you guys ever do this again, i feel like a really fun thing to do would be for kevin to wait for the end of the song to say whether he liked it or not, then have connor reveal his original thoughts!
Please redo Circles by Mac Miller again I feel like it has so much emotional impact
I audibly gasped when I saw that notification 😭😭😭 I can’t believe I was here for the first reaction 4 years ago
Shouldn’t skip the Futura Free interviews - important part of the album
Mbdtf redux would be great. That album is truly incredible and I feel like Kevin wasn’t in the right mindset or hadn’t really adapted to hip hop yet.
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
This is the only musical evolution that matters. 👏🏼 I remember being so excited to watch the original video when it dropped and was devastated that Kevin disliked it. But seeing him be so receptive this time around is so amazing!! Thanks for revisiting.
I thought to myself that surely Kevin would return to the album and enjoy it and appreciate it, because ive seen that in many off my friends who started off disliking it but Now are running around saying its the best album oat
I remember when your original reaction came out. I was 16 starting my last year of high school now Im 20 and graduated university. Weird. Didnt feel like that long ago
endless guys 🫣
I swear yall have done Blonde before
FINALLY IVE BEEN WATING SOOO LONG!!
i used to pray for times like this 🙏🏻
Hell yeah! Super pumped to hear you guys are doing Beach House - Bloom next <3
Yall really need to do ENDLESS - Frank ocean album he release in an 40min video for his label because they were rushing him to release and the next day he released BLONDE under his own release not for the label and he made 20million somthing like that Anyways ENDLESS is also would Be such an interesting and fun reaction!
Endless one of these days will feed families.
and if not Endless by Frank, I would love to hear Honeybloom by Choker.
We need Jon Bellion's "Father Figure" album reaction next and this year will be complete for me
Endless pleasaeeee😭
i know you guys havent fully finished his main discography yet, but would love to see you guys react to larry lovenstein and the velvet revival at some point—imo its a great display of mac’s versatility and creativity as an artist and i think kevin would really love it. love you guys❤️
this was an album that I listened to early in my exploration of music and I really didn't get it at first either, It's now by far one of my favorites but it took a while to get there.
Yessss!
4 years and nobody but me has recommended to these fine gentlemen the brilliance that is Alt-J’s music?
this feels like christmas i’m so excited to watch this
Y’all gotta check out the Stevie Wonder performance that was sampled on Close To You, especially considering all the similarities you noticed between him and Frank.
exactly!
y'all doing breach tomorrow?
i hope so 🤞🏻
PLEASE do endless by frank, a lot more experimental but my personal favorite from him
YOOO OMG
Fuck yeah, time to smoke a j
Swag 2 next? I think it’s a step up from the first swag
Endless next? 🙏🏼
just got to the part where Kevin mentioned Frank not singing in his upper register too often. great reason to do endless to hear his cover of at your best you are love and higgs
Wolf Alice please
We needed this today 💙
Lfg
Could you please do Jazmine Sullivan next! Heaux Tales Deluxe was her last full project
if you haven't, please check out ruby by jennie. very mixed bag of goodies in that album !
Would be sick for y’all to do a reaction to El Cousteau new album Dirty Harry 2. Very good up and comer finding his sound
Love the concept of relistening to albums after Kevin's journey has come so far
You should react to kneecap - Fine Art
great time to upload just got done with work :) listening to you guys really makes me feel like I'm right there with you.
Frank Ocena
Please do Sunburn and Immunity (Clairo)!
Franklin where have you gone😔
I feel like White Ferrari gets such much praise but only at such a surface level for sounding good (which is okay) but that song is so much more. Idk how to explain it but imagine the og/demo version of the song is how the song is supposed to sound like in real life but the version released on the album is how the song sounds like when youre intoxicated and youre very free, youre next to your lover, and your both just embarrassing that high together. There isnt a lot directly said but like he says “I didnt care to state the plain, we’re both so familiar” is so beautiful because sometimes for me whenever i get high i get super paranoid sometimes so having that security of someone’s embrace and understanding that they love you is so beautiful. I really cant explain it with words but this song is so unbelievably beautiful.
embracing **
Legendary video drop ♥️🔥; can’t wait for twenty one pilots this weekend!
Nikes to me feels like its a lifetime long, like someone’s entire life is flashing before their eyes and the music video only helps solidify that, no other song has put me in such a haze / dream like scenario where i feel like a life has played through me.
kev you're my goat, can't wait to see how this new geese album is
FINALLYYYYYY
Do the Marshall Mathers LP and the blueprint 3 PLEASEEEEEE
REDUX EPS START NOW

I can’t wait to see this. He might deny it but Kevin wasn’t really feeling it the first time around… but neither was I first listen.😂 So cool to see yall revisit such a masterpiece
