It is amazing that Bonny caught on to Lizzy's theatre quality of singing because she was in an acappella group and did theatre in high school!

[@chloeh7621]

she's a theatre girly!!! and it's sooooo evident in the story and musicality of doomsday

[@annasophieb.734]

ooh that’s so cool, ever since the first time I heard called you again I always had this little scene in my head like in a musical movie where it goes from plot to song and the main character ends up on a stage when the music really picks up and now that makes so much sense 🤯

[@taweni7172]

this album is the literal definition of perfection!! ugh i hope you guys liked it

[@jackiefortis_]

she’s the kind of artist who is about to have 100 albums before she stops. she had this album written all before she even put her first one out & had 140-50 songs ready for album 3 when fsf dropped. & i’m ALONGG FOR THE RIDEEE

[@psycho_logical8652]

I love that so much, she's similar to Taylor in that regard, they're singers but first and foremost, songwriters. I look forward to her future projects because I know they're gonna slap every time.

[@jackiefortis_]

@@psycho_logical8652 yes!!! agreed! she said this before too that she agrees she’ll have a billion albums cuz she just writes all. the. time. i cant wait as well:)

[@stevievaughan5096]

just the fact that after she says the words "marching band" a marching band drum cadence starts is ICONICCCCCC

[@jackiefortis_]

The last two lyrics explain the entire album so perfectly. “when you’re racing headfirst towards something that’ll kill you in five seconds flat. when I'm racing headfirst towards everything that I want back,” meaning you always want and seek and run towards love even if it can kill you so quickly (through breakups and issues) and how you always race back to it and want it back.

[@jacksonperron913]

as somebody who has been following lizzy for about 3-4 years now, i’d just like to highlight that her voice sounds the exact same on live, or even during concerts. She labeled herself as a perfectionist and a it shows through these songs. Lizzy also has been struggling with finding the right producers for her newer albums. She actually has 15+ unreleased songs and has planned ahead 2 albums already. All she needs to do is find producers. Cant wait to see you react to give me a minute and when the world stopped moving ep. Cant thank you enough the reaction. Truly a gifted artist that has so much in front of her❤❤❤

[@patrickxtran]

It really shows! The main reason I love this album is the production on it. It's unlike any other female singer-songwriters I've listened to. You can really hear how clear her voice comes through in all the tracks. It's like she's right next to your ear

[@erikdaniels0n]

I saw her live in April, and I’d argue that she actually sounds BETTER live than she does on record

[@brittlebonesholdmybodytogether]

yes so true!! when the world stopped moving is live and it’s actually insane because she sounds EXACTLY like she does in her other music

[@jacksonperron913]

@@brittlebonesholdmybodytogether she’s amazing

0:57 doomsday 6:23 an ego thing 13:56 erase me 19:43 called you again 25:06 all my ghosts 31:28 reckless driving 37:38 weird 42:53 ceilings 51:27 what a shame 56:50 firearm 1:02:56 hate to be lame 1:09:54 nobody likes a secret 1:12:32 chemtrails 1:17:50 orange show speedway

[@sara-e3n6p]

She’s actually said live that the album is about (at least) three different exes: doomsday and orange show speedway are about the same person, called you again, all my ghosts and reckless driving are about ex number 2 and finally firearm and nobody like a secret are about the third ex!

[@jakubkochanek6811]

Great reaction, I also think you would really enjoy "Stick Season" by Noah Kehan. The lyrics are incredible!

[@mollycrawford6380]

I was thinking this! Phenomenonal album

[@takipcellim]

OMG EXACTLY!!!

[@brookebabin3360]

YES

[@emilyyy3]

i love lizzy!! this album is impeccable, her lyricism is something else even after listening to the album for the 100th time i still have a new realizations!

[@erikdaniels0n]

I think it was the 10th time I listened to “an ego thing” I noticed the pew pew laser gun sound in the background. Blew my mind

[@reheated_snail]

Just a quick recommendation; Preacher’s Daughter by Ethel Cain. She has a similar vibe to Lizzy but gets most of her inspiration from Florence and The Machine. It’s an amazing album with a captivating and beautifully cohesive storyline throughout but ⚠️WARNING⚠️: this album gets real creepy and sad really early on. Edit: If you like Lana Del Ray, you’ll love Ethel

[@11blahblahblahblah]

YES here to 2nd this rec 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Krustenkaese92]

yeah, let's traumatize them :)

[@ZachReacts26]

Ok here i am waiting for you guys to react to older

[@shhhidd]

It's been a month. They still don't know lizzy make a new album 😔😔😔😔

[@jayluxx_]

this is one of my favorite albums outside of Taylor, so I cannot believe my worlds are colliding! love you guys and very excited for this!!!!

[@avajeffs2795]

lizzy is really good at adding small details to her songs that reminds me so much of taylor. it really helps paint a picture and take you to the place she's talking about

[@hollybeck605]

She was on NPR Tiny Desk last year and had this amazing acapella group backing her. Her voice sounds incredible on it.

[@isaiahblatt681]

I am so overjoyed that you guys are finally reacting to this absolute perfection. Next suggestion: Preacher's Daughter by Ethel Cain. It is a very different energy and touches on very different topics but I would absolutely love to see your reactions and interpretations of the complex and dark storyline. I really consider Preacher's Daughter and Ethel to be on the same level of perfection as Lizzy and Five Seconds Flat.

[@isaiahblatt681]

@@daniatuni !!!!

[@caitlinmich]

their reaction to family tree will end me

[@Justin-kh2fd]

YESSSS

[@jackiefortis_]

when u mentioned she wrote every song by herself, she does with literally every song. she says she’s constantly writing & it’s crazy how GOOD they all are while she’s doing it all alone

[@therealillivanilli2052]

seeing bonny get absolutely walloped by each lyric is so personal 😭 the girlies who get it, get it 💅🏼

[@DagemawitMekonen]

funfact about doomsday. it was rumoured to be about an ex who broke up with her on halloween hence the lyrics "you did it on halloween" - it being breaking up. kind of makes sense how she talks about the break up throughout the song as her having been buried or talks about a marching band and being six feet under. it has this creepy vibe sonically too which grasps the whole theme of halloween :) i am so happy you all love it!!!!!

[@Hannah_jo25]

I would love a Patreon reaction to the short film she made for this album it’s like one long mv tying multiple songs on the album into one narrative! So impressive!

[@ejk2345]

I feel like if u guys wanted to understand where lizzy was coming from and her perspective of the album u should watch the little short film/ music videos she did on the whole album cause it’s takes u through like the major points and everything like that ❤ (it’s called five seconds flat: the film)

[@mayanicole04]

i am pretty sure Chemtrails is the 13th song because her father died on the 13th. She wrote a song for him in her first album as well (also the 13th track)

[@dianareads]

Theres a film that she made with the music videos strung in chronological order, so it really shows how these songs are about her life. Would really recommend watching it!

[@earth3202]

Lizzy is so underrated, I'm so happy for her success right now

[@johnaldwinquine1104]

you'll going to like "give me a minute". IT'S HER 2nd album i believe,THE MELODIES AND THE LYRICS ON THAT ONE HITS HARDER

[@aidaalyssa8853]

its her debut :D

[@dannielliebear5269]

It’s her debut but I almost like the ep when the world stopped moving more. Only listened to it for the first time about a month ago and it absolutely blew me away

[@erikdaniels0n]

Your comments about her music having a very Broadway/theatrical quality to it is actually spot on, as Lizzy was a theatre kid and has said that she was seriously considering becoming an actor before she started doing music. She’s even covered songs from several different musicals on her instagram lives and even at concerts

[@nathandiaz9291]

I am most definitely subscribing after what was the most thoughtful, intricate analysis and deep dive of this album that I have ever seen. Your ability to really suss out the messages and anecdotes embedded in these songs was thrilling to watch. This is my favorite album of all time and I've definitely worn it all the way out, but even I was making realizations along with the both of you. This was really awesome, thank you so much 😭

[@Hannah_jo25]

Braeh is all of us freaking out so excited for you to get to certain parts of songs and fathom the twists and turns! Iconic couch friend cameo!

[@leahduff9717]

I have been obsessed with this album for a hot second but I never analyzed all of the lyrics to the extent that you guys have today and can i just say THANK YOU because you made it SO MUCH BETTER. WTF??????

[@LushLover12341]

The comments on one of your Taylor videos EONS ago is what got me to first listen to this album, so this feels like a full circle moment 😭

[@nicolesawin7478]

Thank you for listening to this!!!! You should really listen to Give Me a Minute from Lizzy ❤

[@girlonfireproductions]

The amount of times Bonnie said “oh shit” in this had me laughing so hard and nodding like yessssss this is why we wanted you to listen to this album 😆😆😆 this was amazing, ladies 🥰

[@michelle5073]

PLEASE watch the visual album! i feel like Lizzy does such a great job visualizing what these songs truly mean, and what the storyline is!

[@joygaoshouayang]

I WANT TO ADD you guys were talking about how the relationship was like a cycle and i just kept thinking about how a speedway is shaped like an oval and it goes round and round !!!!!!

[@andi8852]

THIS ALBUM HAS HAD SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART SINCE THE MOMENT IT DROPPED IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH😭😭

[@dariaivaniuk9858]

It's crazy how I heard of her first through Finneas as of this new and upcoming artist and listened to their collab without realising that 'ceilings' was a song of hers! I never made the connection

[@spotifypremium0]

the synchronised scream after the switch in erase me is everything 😭 ❤

[@jottape5964]

i really love how she says in doomsday that she would even marry him and in all my ghosts she says that she can see clearly the wedding of the year with the other guy, kinda showing that part of a dream she have or even a compare of how different this two relationships are

[@valrojas16]

YESSS this album is PERFECT, i love every single song and Lizzy is still so painfully underrated, i’m glad she’s getting bigger cause everyone needs to listen to heeer ❤

[@markginaldenriquez4920]

when are you guys going to react to OLDER by Lizzy????? ❤

[@jackiefortis_]

i am also dying unpacking this again with someone else (through a screen) even after a whole year of being in love w this album

[@Dan-iu8ls]

Lizzy is probably waiting as well 😭

[@bellalavoll1735]

you guys should definitely watch her short film for this album!! it’s gives so much insight to the meaning behind her songs

[@cowboylikesammm]

You guys NEED to react to her most recent album Older it is SO GOOD

[@HeyitsNea]

I’m so glad you guys are listening to the album! It’s one of my favorite albums of all time!

[@serenitymcduffie6592]

Omg we need more LIZZY album reactions 🙈🫠

[@matildaonvideo]

I've been deeeeply obsessed with this album for the past year so it makes me so happy to see you two enjoying it so much! The short film and music video trilogy (Doomsday, then Erase Me, then All My Ghosts) will MESS you up. Lizzie's lyrics are already incredible, then her visual storytelling to tie songs together is Taylor-level creative genius 🙌 x

[@natsaij.g1942]

I listened to this last year after I got broken up with. Listening to it again after I did the breaking up this time has given me a whole new perspective to the album. Like in reckless driving, I never related to that song before but now I think it’s the most painful to listen to because it describes the exact situation with my relationship this time. I’m so glad you loved the album so much, it’s a treasure

[@benjadnsi]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I LITERALLY GASPED. been waiting this for so long 😭

[@verucabeckwith3014]

This the first time I am hearing this artist - omg thank you listening to the requests. Wow. Just WOW.

[@jacksonperron913]

definitely recommended when the world stopped moving ep and give me a minute!!! more stripped down and a bit sadder. She is incredible

[@stevievaughan5096]

if you listen to weird with headphones on youll find that the entire song there are two different voices in each ear. like she sand it twice and put one in one ear and the other in the other ear. literally incredible

[@celeste9544]

your friend has done an amazing job at representing us cause I teared up listening to Ceilings with you as if I haven´t listen to that freaking song 25637898 times in the past year :') welcome to the lizzy universe!!!!

[@icarocaua6005]

I just finished the video and I can't even tell you how glad I am for you to have listened to our suggestion, five seconds flat is one of my favorite albums ever and I always felt like you two would also like it ❤ (now I'm gonna become annoying again) lizzy has one more album called 'give me a minute' and it's more folky and acoustic but i also feel like you would love it just as much, she also has an ep called 'when the world stopped moving' and it's fully recorded with live vocals and instrumentation and the songs are just top tier, I'll be the happiest person in the world if you react to this projects but if you don't I'm still so so so glad you reacted to five seconds flat love u both

[@juliestmoen7571]

Yesss I love har first album so much! It’s a no-skip type of album for me🥹

[@caleblim6890]

I was waiting for the reaction to the ending of “reckless driving”, and you two did not disappoint! A perfectly crafted song with a spectacular idea for the ending!

[@musicsoulhaysgrl]

ALSO THE REACTION TO ERASE ME IS EVERYTHING. That is prob my all time fav track from this album!!! THE HARMONIES AND JACOB COLLIER ARE SUPERIOR!!!

[@icarocaua6005]

THANK U EMILY AND BONNIE FOR LISTENING 😭❤️

[@MichaelOsborne-ph7mg]

OMG ive been waiting for this reaction!!!! I love Lizzy so much and im so glad yall are reacting to it. I just saw her in concert and it was simply offensive and she sounds absolutely beautiful live! I can't believe you guys are reacting to Lizzy! I love you guys sm

[@Hannahk00]

I absolutely love how dynamic Lizzy’s voice is. It’s so beautiful

[@avalonlperry]

God im SO happy you guys did a reaction to this album!!!😭 You may have already gotten this request but PLEASE do a reaction to the deluxe version of Everything to Everyone by Reneé Rapp! Her music is definitely up your alley, plus she’s an INCREDIBLE vocalist! Love you guys!🫶🏻

[@therapywithdestanie6598]

I am so happy that you all created this album. It is one of my favorite albums that have been released this year. So glad both of yall loved it. Thank you to our couch friend for giving us valuable and offensive fathoming. It really helped me piece together the album. I really appreciate what you all do for good-quality content. Of course, this is up to you all even so yall would like SOS-SZA. The album has some nodes to Black culture with some Black producers, writers, and obviously singers- SZA. The transition is offensive be prepared for no breathing time. The lyrics are amazingness. The album is very vulnerable and relatable. I think you all like it. You don't have to react to it. It doesn't disappoint.

[@lydiawiley5695]

ahhh chats & reacts and lizzy is an absolutely iconic combo!! so excited to watch you fall in love with one of my fave albums!

[@avajeffs2795]

the vibes are always immaculate with you two

i loved it!! reckless driving is literally my most listened song ever

[@amystiller8389]

WOULD LITERALLY DIE IF U LISTENED TO “WHEN FACING THE THINGS WE TURN AWAY FROM” BY LUKE HEMMINGS (kinda in the TSCU - he/the rest of 5SOS got invited to her bday parties many times and they all heavily Stan her as they should) THE SOUNDS ARE LITERALLY ETHEREAL ITS SO EMOTIONAL AND SO OVERWHELMING MY NUMBER ONE ALBUM OF ALL TIME ALSO “5SOS5” by 5SOS THEIR MOST RECENT ALBUM LAST YEAR

She also is a theater kid at heart and I feel like you can totally tell with her storytelling. Can’t wait to watch 🥰

[@ZosiaDabrowski]

Omg the "Slurpee in the 7 eleven" cuteness reminded me of the movie/musical Heathers, and then the next song being a 0-100 toxic crazy love from the guy and the girl getting apprehensive further reminds me of how the relationship in Heathers pans out- I wonder if Lizzy knows the musical, or if it's just coincidence

[@the_moon_of_my_night5588]

[@megan.mcrae6]

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I recently saw Lizzy in concert and it was a life-changing experience. I highly recommend the rest of her discography; it is truly songwriting perfection and the production on many of her songs (Angelina and Where Do I Go? to name a couple of my favorites) is truly incredible.
