I wanted Paper Soldiers on here😭😭 but it’s still a great album imo. This man simply can’t miss. His vocals are just angelic

[@psychogod1117]

brent literally dropped a link to this song a year ago to everyone to download cuz sampels werent cleared

[@aivito2521]

i like fytb more i think

[@travismckie]

Facts, Paper Soldiers is ELITE

[@jasonhart1079]

Sike...he misses notes and misses on making good music. I like brent but let's not get carries away

[@chromiesss]

paper soldier is a track from “do not listen” EP not an unreleased track

[@alexguerra1219]

Role Model is soooo good, definitely an outside/cruising summer track

[@zaywop5978]

when i hear it i instantly think of being a runway model lmao

[@notherenomolol]

frr

[@princxlxx3420]

Jon denton deserves a real studio , his the best music reactor out here

[@hfjemini5]

Brent’s real Name is Christopher Brentwood

The best right here 🙌

[@Whodnl]

We love you

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

His music sounds like space in the 80s with a 90s R&B twist.

[@joelkivisto]

thanks g

[@toby2861]

My guy

[@sammcmeekin8897]

This man is quick with it!!! Those skits totally elevates the album to another level🔥

[@xoplace7045]

never listened to brent before but coming from an R&B lover this is easily a 8 and + and it will grow on me i know for sure. Some tracks are 100% standouts but overall the whole album is so smooth. The story of the album is also insanely well connected. wow

[@duggy1710]

The production on this album is incredible

[@ronnypooky]

this album is fucking incredible. 8.5/10 for me, and it'll prob get even better for me. role model is a top 5 brent track of all time by the way🐐

[@2bear5]

Album gives me Batman vibes… closed my eyes an felt like I was in a drama version of Batman love it

[@aqilfatullah7134]

I feel it, or maybe just a rainy, New york, Night😂

[@hizzle8393]

i thought it was only me haha

[@bee-sk3il]

Actually true

[@crisslmndr]

On Angel, I see Batman watching Gotham city under the Rain After a victory.

[@2bear5]

Loose change could definitely be the intro to the movie 😂😂 an gravity makes me feel like I’m on a mission on the motorcycle

[@ajtaylor8750]

Brent might've put himself on the map even more with Wasteland. I was up til 1AM vibing out to this and there's virtually no mises on here from production to lyrics. The theme of the album seems to be that Wasteland is the place Brent is in where his newfound fame is exposing him to things he probably wasn't prepared for, and the world now is a wasteland where all of his toxic ways of life is dumped. Overall, it's an 9/10 for me. Favorite tracks: *Gravity, Loose Change, Ghetto Gatsby, Dead Man Walking, Price of Fame, Angel, Addictions, Jackie Brown*

[@uzladwastaken]

Eh more like a 7, but still great nonetheless

[@joebidenjr5902]

Wasting Time is a masterpiece. Drake killed that shit

[@AvenoirXO]

@@uzladwastaken no way is it a 7 LMAOO, the songs that already came out alone make it a 8 with just the writing alone.

[@uzladwastaken]

@@AvenoirXO it's a 7

[@AvenoirXO]

@@uzladwastaken Price of fame, deadman walking, rolling stone, angel, all mine, gravity, all 10/10 songs production and writing wise lol ur just talking to talk

[@noahsofran5292]

This music is perfect for a rainy day. And you just gotta listen to it with headphones on

[@Vat6ré]

Facts,moody ass album

[@joelkivisto]

thisss

[@justjase10]

I can’t believe “Darling I don’t wish you well” is not here🤦🏽‍♂️

[@lilbonnie1112]

Would’ve been better if it’s called “Wish you Well” instead of the whole thing

[@pet4886]

jon thank you i’ve been waiting on this video exactly, love to the channel you got a loyal fan here bro🤞🏼

[@dejvtoziomal4159]

Fr

[@kodyjoliet9656]

Need this album on vinyl ngl

[@ollie8018]

Another fellow aries fan 🫡

[@stresmaldonado]

You copped it right? Vinyl been out couple months now. Got my 😣😣Got couple copies signed by Brent couple weeks back 😎

[@soccerbeast2946]

Jon the first man I go to after music drops

[@cruzperezjuanpablo1416]

His vocals r perfect, I rlly like the album

[@Emm027]

Initially listening to this album, I enjoyed it and a couple songs definitely stood out to me as songs I wanted to listen to right away again, but agree that it didn't hit has fast as Fuck the World. But, I will say this album grew on me and I listen through it all without skipping songs. Huge fan of his. I appreciate music that can grow on you and the more you listen, the more you appreciate and pick up little things that were missed with the first listens. Enjoy your content, thank you for sharing!

[@ramialejel]

Shit had me floating. What an album 🙏

[@hizzle8393]

Definitely a moody and more mature sound than before, his debut Sonder Son is still my favourite Brent project but the evolution from that to this sound is very interesting, departing from the guitars of Sonder Son and changing it up with the plucky synths and Raphael Saadiq-esque strings. I would love to see a Sonder Son reaction from you Jon, I highly recommend it (and maybe even Sonder's Into EP which is concise but hard-hitting)

[@TheDominiqueBallou]

His vocals and storytelling 1000x better on WasteLand

[@hizzle8393]

​@@TheDominiqueBallou Agreed, although his vocals were not bad on Sonder Son, that album just resonated more with me on a personal level with songs like Missing Out, Needed, Burn One, Gang Over Luv, All I Want and So Far Gone / Fast Life Bluez

[@TheDominiqueBallou]

@@hizzle8393 i just love how this is different. Its an experience I haven't had since Channel Orange. Its an album thats takes you on a visual IMAX journey, through the music. Then Wake Up Call is just beautiful written, and detailed. The skits elevated the album which is rare and its done so well I dont skip em.

[@hizzle8393]

​@@TheDominiqueBallou Yeah I think this was the perfect time and opportunity for Brent to switch up his sound, there is not much production from DPat and LosHendrix and none from Atu, who were all over his earlier projects. The skits did a great job of tying the whole album together. This album was like a screenplay and a journey through Brent's mindstate after achieving fame, while I would say Sonder Son was a more abstract collection of songs that described Brent's situation in that period of his life where he was just on the verge of fame but still struggling to make ends meet. Both albums are excellent

[@TheDominiqueBallou]

@@hizzle8393 I battle with being in love w introduction albums. Its a lot that agree w your take of Sonder being his best album, is it his best? Or the nostalgia of when majority found Brent.

[@kayqurty]

In my opinion the top three tracks are: FYTB, All Mine, and Jackie Brown

[@holly_7394]

I've been wanting this video, this guy never misses 🙌🙌 We need a sonder son reaction, best Brent album imo. Great vid

[@cloudedbot]

i was waiting for this video since the album drop thank you❤️❤️

[@dark7593]

this album had me floating dawg, the intro made me feel like a villain 😂, this album is a 9/10 best album of the year tbh

[@bensnyder9776]

💀bro what

[@brodykuemin3912]

@@bensnyder9776 what?

[@Reed_Rages]

We need that Sonder Son or Into reaction 🔥🔥🔥

[@mead0wsgates]

Angel is one of the best album closers I've heard

[@nds1116]

One of the best songs I’ve heard this year

[@96flows73]

Jackie Brown. My god what a vibe

[@danielmerriman8118]

This album definitely needs time but it was fantastic on first listen

[@TheDominiqueBallou]

This is an visual experience via music. Amazing album.

[@RR-dh5gr]

Amazing album. Very close to being as good as FTW for me personally, and i think much better than Sonder Son. Hes only improved over time, and his storytelling is incredible on this album.

[@averygarrett5304]

Idk man sonder son still feels like his best body of work to me but this is a close second to me

[@JonathanGonzalez-ty4vh]

I think he’s still figuring out how to play this thing he’s turned into. The people now have painted him some sort of way and he’s trying to match it. sonder son was different before all this attention he’s been getting. I just can’t wait for sonder album to drop

[@hizzle8393]

Sonder Son still his best to me but this tops FTW imo

[@Omairipr]

@@averygarrett5304 yeah for me too, alongside with Lost EP

[@joelkivisto]

I think the stuff with Dpat and Atu is better than FTW imo but fax

[@maso4u]

It gets more and more beautiful with every listen… I can’t stop listening to it

[@animextra9558]

Top 3 definitely angel, role model, and dead man walking

[@Aphexia]

In before John realises Dead Man Walking was released in 2020…

[@ZaaRaphz]

This album only gets better with multiple listens, I've gone through it roughly 15 times since release and this is my opinion on it. It's Brent's best album, vocally this is his best and he sounds amazing in every song, I love the meaning and story being told in the skits, the instrumentals are insane and unique but it fits with the mood of Wasteland. It's not perfect but nothing is and I believe this will go down as a classic.

[@queenof2kheartsgaming99]

Literally…it takes multiple listens to like the songs that I was skeptical about in the first listen tbh

[@adacta756]

vocally not the best since this would be sonder son imo but i think his vocals perfectly fit that lowkey wasteland vibe and it’s surely his most polished and mature album. everything is perfectly placed together, the production sounds much more detailed and expensive and the skits are just pure genius. 10/10 and surely AOTY for me

[@ZaaRaphz]

@@adacta756 it's definitely up their for album of the year, along with Dawn FM, Mr morale and I really liked jid the forever story

[@adacta756]

@@ZaaRaphz yeah damn fm was surely my best first listen experience this year but just like mr morale and the big steppers it kinda lacked in replay value. and i’m more of a chill layed back music type guy atm so i would put wasteland over dawn fm even tho i’m a die hard xo fan

[@ZaaRaphz]

@@adacta756 yeh I'm like you bro, obviously I'm also a big weeknd fan too, there just something about dawn fm that's special even tho I'm the chill guy too, if I were to guess are you a big fan of big sean, especially his I decided album?

[@RadicalQuail]

React to love. Jon it’s one of his best songs probably my second fav cudi song of all time. Just got added to streaming

[@herbanmyth8810]

You earned a sub from me with this organic review man. I fucked with this album heavy and we definitely felt the same throughout

[@DerpFisk0151]

This is his best album for sure. Wasteland > Sonder Son > Fuck The World > Larger Than Life

[@KimbrieeBishop-pb6zo]

Facts in that order too 😭

[@joadmaurice8333]

please react to love. by kid cudi, old song which just got added to streaming on his compilation album

[@bee-sk3il]

it’s his best song he’s released in a long time for me

[@reyjae_4735]

Damn so I guess we are not getting a Breezy album reaction. That’s a bummer

[@mnc7507]

Role Model reminds me of Flashing Lights

[@cmooreHD]

I thought the exact same thing! Its the drums and claps!

[@thenovared]

I'm going to be on top of the MUSIC INDUSTRY, I promise 🎶😈🌎🚀

[@ShanieceManley]

Jorja Smith is the woman he’s talking to in the beginning and I’d ADORE if you listened to her album Lost & Found!! 🤍

[@LuisRamirez-cg2rn]

Damn!! Haven’t watched your vids in a minute(sorry been working a lot :/) but I see you upgrade the studio.!!

[@Z33Nwa]

You should listen to Sonder’s self-titled EP it’s Brent in the perfect setting imo

[@artxcvii]

Role Model is sooooo good 😮‍💨

[@user-zh6gv2mh9l]

Been waiting for the reaction

my favorite song off that album is fytb

[@rxngano]

please react to PARTYNEXTDOOR 2

[@immanueljacob2581]

Nice review but one thing you should do is not afraid to be critical with your reactions Someone like Anthony Fantano isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, and that’s what people like about him. I feel like most of your reaction is influenced by what you think people “wanna hear”, instead of what you truly think about the music Much love

[@JonDenton]

Disagree but appreciate your feedback.

[@joebidenjr5902]

Disagree. Fantano sometimes just hates for the sake of it. Don't want Jon to become like that pretentious baldy.

[@adenwillemburg4300]

jon is very appreciative of sounds. he gets into the artist's head and invisions what they wanted their sound to be and it gives a totally different reaction to the usual like/dislike reactions. far better imo

[@SoulOne713]

You should react to Owl Pharaoh by Travis Scott I love that album/mixtape
