Seeing that you liked the production so much I’m excited for when you get to I’ll Sleep When Your Dead. It’s more digestible with more streamlined song concepts. It’s his greatest work and one of my personal favorite albums of all time. Trent Reznor has an amazing appearance. Found your channel a month ago and I’m loving every reaction!! I never thought about how out of place Dr Hellno is 😂 seeing you pissed off was a first but you definitely had a point coming off of TOJ
I hope one day you do "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" its EL-P's opus imo
Absolutely
In regards to Stepfather Factory, El-P wrote an accompanying article for Vice which explains where he comes from: https://www.vice.com/en/article/stepfather-v9n2/ Company Flow - Last Good Sleep is well worth checking out as well.
There's never been a better time than now than to say: You should definitely check out Cannibal OX - The Cold Vein as well!
Underrated album
Returning to recommend roc marci, you liked Pray for Paris so I'm like 96% you'll fw Roc. Excited for when you eventually get to him
Oh man I think you’ll love King of Hearts by Camu Tao It’s a posthumous release that El-P finished after Camu passed from Lung Cancer It’s such a haunting and unique experience
this is probably the closest we will get to a JMT / AOTP / Non Phixion type reaction lol
Yo Bob you need to do the rest of El-P's albums. They get more accessible after each album, imo, trust me. I'll Sleep When You're Dead and Cancer 4 Cure are some of my favorite albums period. I love Fantastic Damage but it's definetly an aquired taste.
LETS FUCKING GO
Back 2 back great albums
WEEK 18 OF ASKING FOR A TAME IMPALA REACTION
I audibly shouted out when Mr. Lif popped up, haven't heard him in a minute! That inspires me to pull out the I Phantom CD. This album really takes me back to the early aughts scene: Aesop, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Sole, etc.
Fuck yeah Bob, you got Gold in the vault.
Open Mike Eagle actually has a great podcast where he interviews some of his favorite artists—including El-P there’s a whole episode about Fantastic Damage, so definitely check it out if you want to hear more about how it was made and what it means https://youtu.be/kAdqi3d9-e0?si=5vRhmyvA0e5EBKw8
Reading El-P lyrics without context is like trying to figure out the Pythagorean formula without reference; this is an album that greatly benefits from annotations and context. Just know it all has a meaning and purpose; some people struggle with finding the rhythm with Tool songs- now you can at least sympathize with their plight Bob!
Don't worry, I don't understand what he is talking about either.
We still love it
GODLY PULLL
First Scarface and now El-P? We are on a roll, boys!
i just saw RTJ last night this is awesome
Excited to listen to this! Now we need The Cold Vein 👍👍👍👍👍
I SECOND THIS
Aesop Rock fans dying out here 😅
HELL YEAH 🙏😭
