First you listened to deftones and now you listened to Deafheaven I’m so happy rn they’re literally both my favourite bands

[panasonicyouth]

Dream House is a song that will stick with me forever, one of the only metal songs that brings a genuine, cathartic, raw emotion from me every single time. That one song alone is a journey in itself - a great contrast between the edge of the unknown, and the restraint of love and being that keeps you grounded. Flawless song!

[TheseBitchesWantNikes]

The ending of Dream House is unbelievable.

I remember I was at work one day just listening to The Pecan Tree in my earbuds, and when I finally understood what the lyrics were saying at the end of the song, along with the instruments, I bursted into tears.

"The vocals are definitely used here to complement the instruments". A brilliant quote being the first time listening to Deafheaven, you rock!

17:04 "I love when bands don't care about genres" Funnily enough, Deafheaven faced alot of hate from mega fans of traditional Black Metal who claimed Deafheaven were 'posers' and stealing the sound of Black Metal to make what they considered too 'happy'. Some people care too much about genre and that prevents them from enjoying the music. Glad Deafheaven hasn't bended to the hate mobs.

This album is so amazing that it’s actually rare for me to get past the first two songs (not counting segues). Deafheaven is like if Deftones did black metal

[supahspartan]

Whoa hey, I love this format of content. Listening to a whole album with live commentary, edited together for brevity. Awesome! Subbed.

[bitbat]

Saw Deafheaven perform this album in its entirety in 2014 and it blew my mind. One of the loudest and most intense shows I've seen.

[BEFOREYOOFALL]

This album changed me mentally. I also teared up at the part in please remember when I first heard it.

[mavisevelyn]

one of my favorite albums ever. truly transcends genre to the point where I wouldn't call it metal or shoegaze or anything, its just beautiful

[gustavosantos]

This is an incredible album, I'm so excited for their new one!

[varthvarth]

This is such a great video. Sunbather is probably the most beautiful album I’ve ever heard regardless of genre. Listening to it takes me to such a transcendental and ethereal place that barely any other songs/albums can. I mean, hell, I have the words “I want to dream” permanently tattooed on me because I love the opening track so much. I loved your analysis and thoughts on everything. You come up with the perfect words to paint a picture of exactly how each song is, especially with how you described the Dream House as “a release of energy”. And yeah, their drummer is a fucking beast.

[SterlingJergens]

the first time hearing Deafheaven is when I got the record and played it on my turntable. I thought it was some of the heaviest sludgiest stuff I've ever heard and really dug it. I didn't realize until playing it for the 3rd or 4th time that I was playing it at 33RPM and it was pressed at 45RPM so it was actually too slow. It's still a good album, but 33RPM hits different.

[solaymanbelfaquih]

I remember when i listen to this album. I'm more of a rap listener but i love also every genra. But god this hit me hard, and i was like wtf is that in the first song and then the magic operate with the melodic. I was like i don't understand what he is saying, but it's just beautiful, and then... The album stops...it was an experience in a lifetime. I told myself i freaking love this and i want to listening to it a second time. Now it's an album i recommend everyone, and i feel sad when they don't understand it, but i understand also if you don't like it. Thank you for sharing that with us, almost every moment on this is a blessing ❤️

[JacksonThornhill]

It’s like a mix of converge, my bloody valentine and mayhem.

[eversosleight]

One of the best American black metal albums of all time. An album to play to front to back every single listen. I can usually do without interludes but I can appreciate them here. Tension and release throughout.
Thanks for reacting ❤ Wonderful thoughts, I especially liked when you likened the vocals to standing at the edge of a canyon and screaming out into the void.

[agustinlopez]

You should check .neon by Lantlôs.. That's an awesome album too

[tingkagol]

I've forgotten about this band. Thanks to this I plan to revisit this album.

[Jason-tocs]

The lyrics are really great. I recommend looking them up. Great reaction! This album is a classic.
