[@BradTasteInMusicOfficial]

this was a stream that happened about a month ago, I just now got around to editing it.

[@CycleOfJudges]

I'm so extremely happy you heard this and loved it as much as me. I remember a long time ago I requested an album called Wish Upon A Blackstar by Celldweller. It's sort of like heavier electronic mixed with rock. You may like it if you're getting into electronic stuff

[@quasarkid]

Always glad to see others enjoy your favorite music!

[@alrightmanedison5941]

1:16 bro legit the first thing I thought of when I saw the name of that track was follow god

[@ztaylor2036]

So I heard San Holo start after the last song ended... let's get a San Holo - Album 1 review. I personally feel like San Holo and Porter Robinson are 2 sides of the same coin musically. And I feel like you'd enjoy it.

[@scifii_official]

I will never financially recover from this

[@YeaItsCrab]

you did gods work o7

[@NedScribbles]

lol

[@Destiano.Y]

my guy doing god's work

[@drewyguy]

Thank you for having him listen to this. His first listen on this album reminded me a lot of mine, it was like hearing it for the first time again!

[@3l3TR1C]

scifii. big broke.

[@SembSemb]

still cant believe the grammy's snubbed this. honestly such a beautiful album

[@PatheticallyAwesomeJ]

twice he’s been snubbed, I’ve given up

[@LiftedBlader]

Really is a loss for everyone who would otherwise get to experience it

[@EddieintheLoop]

Yeah they had 10 noms for EDM and he got none lmao dude is maybe the most relevant EDM artist right now if not top 5 at least

[@lilsmooch]

@@PatheticallyAwesomeJ This not getting nominated and Porter not winning the Grammy for his Virtual Self nomination are such BS it's unbelievable. I never really care about awards for music or movies or whatever but I really really wish Porter got the recognition he so dearly deserves. This album, especially as a result of his 6-7 year journey making it and his struggle to create music after Worlds, is such a deeply personal and touching album that works so well and every song fits the sound of the world it's in perfectly.

[@rammsteinrulz16]

Im surprised why youre surprised

[@luispereztasso]

This album was like those hugs your mom/dad/whoever took care of you gave to you, when you were a child, after you were crying. In my top 10 of 2021.

[@ps1hagrid689]

Dude this is a perfect description

[@yaltschuler]

I more feel this towards "Mother" in particular as an individual track.

[@Pico_444]

This album is in my top 1 of 2021

[@ryanreed5113]

this album means so much to me man. so fucking holy, legitimately helped in the healing of my mental health over covid. the themes porter explores here are so beautiful and the messages of forgiveness and growth on this project are really pertinent during this time where we're all really dealing with some hard shit

[@EddieintheLoop]

Same here, it was my go to album for when I needed to feel good. I have honestly cried several times listening to this album

[@ryanreed5113]

@@EddieintheLoop I regularly bawl to wind tempos man

[@EddieintheLoop]

@@ryanreed5113 you got to, it's a spiritual experience. The way that it transitions into the drop of musician is amazing too

[@gyastly2737]

Over covid? Lol. Worked at home what’s there to complain about.

[@simon4476]

Same here going on a walk and listening to this was like the one thing that kept me going during the lockdowns

[@freddiemercury6682]

What’s crazy is that while this album is in it of itself amazing, SEEING THE LIVE SHOW IS ANOTHER FUCKING VIBE. Every element is elevated and flows in and out of remix’s. Nothing is untouched, everything vibes, he throws in the best of his past work and makes it fit the nurture sound, and it’s legit a spiritual experience. Cried a couple times during it.

[@EddieintheLoop]

For sure, I need to see him live, watching the Second Sky concert made me so happy and convinced me I need to see him live next year no matter the cost

[@Brandonv1103]

I hope Porter tours again in the US I went to the Philly show and it was pure magic cause I listened to this album and worlds non stop I also cried a couple times I was really sad when it was over

[@omu6740]

i'm seeing nurture live in july!!! i can't fucking wait, i already cry listening to the songs on here normally but i can't wait to sing along with a crowd and just experience my therapy album live

[@brokenlotproductions]

Porter Robinson's music really hits the soul... its almost hard to explain. but it changed my life. Seeing it in concert was an unforgettable experience

[@Lexiexiiii]

worlds to me is like a teenager going through tough times and feeling all kinds of highs and lows. nurture is like you finally grew up and made peace within yourself, and now everything is okay. i love it so much.

[@realkairal]

Worlds is an album about Escapism and Fiction. And Nurture feels like someone who has just gone to accept reality and begin to love life in the simplest of ways.

[@onoff5815]

Seeing someone love what you love is one of the best feeling in the world

[@AdamJ11]

And this album was snubbed an EDM Grammy nomination

[@michaelroy6630]

7:05 "It's one of those songs where you listen to it" Damn... dude in chat is operating on Windows 11 brain power. The rest of us are on XP.

[@TheDreRock]

This flew way under my radar dude Porter is one of my favorite artists Nurture really is such a phenomenal album; I think what killed me about Wind Tempos and Dullscythe is they really seemed to illustrate that gnawing/self doubt inducing process of trying to find the right ideas, clicking through settings and samples for hours or days and nothing quite working…Even though I barely listen to those two in passing, they hella tipped the needle for me coming from Porter’s older EDM stuff (which is also phenomenal but I only recommend if you’re into like VERY much edm) to this So glad you enjoyed it and I endorse the chat comments that mentioned Nurture Live - dude goes crazy on live productions

[@psychopathicporo]

Gave musician a 10, all is right in the world. My favorite song on the album, your favorite song on the album, porter robinson's favorite song on the album,

[@peytonalexander5300]

Someone in the chat said “it’s like gecs but normal” and I genuinely don’t know how to feel about that

[@Lampshade7]

This album makes you love and appreciate life. One of the best album experiences I have ever had. Seeing Mother and Blossom live back to back made me cry harder than I ever have. This album is pure magic.

[@EddieintheLoop]

I was in the top .1% of his listeners on Spotify so I can say I am blinded by love for his music, but this album is one of the few 10/10s I have ever listened to. So beautiful. Also Lifelike is my morning alarm, it's perfect for that, not too harsh, but wakes you up 😂 side note, this somehow didn't get a Grammy nod for EDM/Dance even though there were 10 noms. Also Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do was my fav, being high to that song is magical

[@ryanreed5113]

that’s facts lol stoned listening of do-re-mi is the best, I pick up on so many smal details

[@EddieintheLoop]

@@ryanreed5113 Oh for sure, honestly this album in general high is a completely different experience. Especially dullscythe because then I start really analyzing everything

[@ryanreed5113]

@@EddieintheLoop absolutely

[@stylerxo3654]

Get Your Wish is far from being a standout of the album, but the lyrics of the song really drive it home for me. I enjoy it for that aspect.

[@LM-px1rx]

I've heard albums this year that are more consistent than this one where I love a greater % of the tracks on the albums, albums I have an easier time suggesting to anyone (Black Country, New Road or A Beginner's Mind for example)... but I knew almost immediately this was my *favourite* album of the year and its not even really that close. Just head over heels in love with this album, its so sincere and heartfelt

[@hikarutroll237]

Wow great video watched the whole thing

[@Olegnasilopa]

Average score: 8.6/10 This is my favourite album of the year. This helped me a lot. 9/10

[@Pico_444]

To me dullscythe is like a battle between porter robinson and virtual self

[@jayes_]

ive always interpreted dullscythe as porter trying to demonstrate what his creative block between worlds and nurture felt like, where its a massive mess sounding random and random sounds coming in and out until it slowly builds itself together into something pretty at the end representing him breaking that block

[@cheetoesfrank5131]

This album is an absolute masterpiece. Porter is a conduit of the divine.

[@Dankitude]

I always thought Unfold was the best song on the album. Feels like a transition from Worlds to this album

[@lilsmooch]

Seeing Porter perform this live Day 1 of Second Sky, first time playing it live, at the end of my first festival experience seeing some of my favorite artists and discovering new ones, right after Good Faith Live, was such an experience for me. I have wanted to see Porter since I found his music 6 years ago that I discovered and met my best friend by talking to him about this album. I have wanted to see him live for 6 years and never got a chance to go til this year's Second Sky. I really am not an emotional person, like at all, but this set made me tear up literally 8 times. Honestly even the first second he stepped on stage I teared about because I thought to myself "I finally am here seeing him live, perform one of my favorite albums of all time with a person I love." Such an amazing mix of hype music / live remixes of these songs along with slower emotional parts. Porter literally choked up and cried on stage during Mother on Day 1 and it was very moving to see how much everything he does means to him. I hope to god I can see Porter perform Nurture Live again, and I truly can't wait to hear what music he creates next.

[@miggyarceo2627]

19:24 When Porter was finished, San Holo stepped in as well. (the next song was "lift me from the ground" by San Holo)

[@laterlars]

I love San Holo as well his music is absolutely darling

[@vortigonii6167]

"There are no bad people or good people....they're just people" Me who's evil to the core: wait until you hear unfold

[@fds729]

Glad you enjoyed it! this album definitely grows on you even more after repeat listens

[@renocicchi7346]

I did the exact same face at that part 17:00. Disgustingly blissful

[@bbmato_]

So happy to see your first take on one of my favorite albums everrrr. 🙏🏼 thank u for uploading

[@frim3647]

your entire sequence of reactions to unfold was incredible

[@omu6740]

this album is one of those that sound better which each listen. i listened to “look at the sky” and started tearing up lol, the whole covid period has been extremely difficult and mentally deteriorating to me and just hearing “i’ll be alive next year” was what i needed more than anything, it really picks me up and helps me keep on going.

[@toothless.tarantula]

I love these videos of people hearing this for the first time, the reaction is universally the same, like a hug, and that is freakin' beautiful.

[@adventurelandexpert7148]

It made me so happy to see someone react to this album the same way I did, with it being one of my favorites ever, it gave me so much joy and made me feel like I was listening to it for the first time again

[@6pancakz541]

Get your wish it a banger wym 6.3

[@notme8652]

Nurture is probably the only album where I like all the songs or don't skip them

[@dansoddity]

Hard to explain how much this album means to me, 7 years was worth the wait.

[@frequencygray7909]

Hope your doing good Brad. Ik ur kind of taking a break from music, but whenever u get back to it more, Torches by FTP is an awesome album to listen to, just my ever so humble recommendation. Keep up everything your doing bro, I'm supporting u all the way

[@WeNeededThis]

YESSSS. so happy to see this pop up on my subscriptions page

[@jakemckown7195]

seeing him live at second sky gave me a whole different respect for mother, from a skip to me playing it by itself

[@TAPPSONLINE]

I saw Porter do his Nurture Live show at his festival Second Sky. I was constantly sobbing, it is one of the most blissful, magical, life changing experiences I've ever experienced. One of the most incredible things that I will never take for granted.

[@dudeman1983]

But sincerely? Can't you feel what I'm feeling? I can see my life _so_ clearly And I know it doesn't last but I don't mind at all anymore.

[@swagboy5674]

Porter robinson and his community makes my soul feel like it's blooming

[@Neuromantic_86]

Just a gorgeous record, my album of '21 🙌

[@matthewgranger2150]

Changed my mind brad ive finally found a video where you love the same album as me good going Brad

[@moiwz1123]

As a big fan of Porter Robinson before this album came out. The release of this was a huge win and it is my most listened to album ever last in total 140hpurs actively listened to this. Crazy thing is its still magical listening to it on this video.

[@KingFishy4921]

I was so hoping you would react to this album i love me my Porter

[@lcuzp]

my fav one is dullscythe, feels like a journey

[@scifii_official]

dullscythe is my favorite song on the album honestly

[@MariaVillaLuna]

I can’t believe I’m 2 weeks late to this! I’m so hyped

[@lukerapley9053]

Listening to Porter talk about the struggles he had between Worlds and Nurture itself is just admiring, he's so talented. Worth watching the live versions of this album it is incredible.

[@ryleighrage]

Thanks Brad, I went and listened to Follow God before finishing the reaction 😂

[@barelyabear7956]

Yooo u're that guy who reacted to EATEOT i'm so happy you reacted to nurture as well ^_^

[@ShadowGingerdapple]

I listened to Unfold for the first time while walking home from work on a lovely day on the day it dropped. There was a slight breeze in the air and I felt like I was floating. I went on to go to the last two Second Skys and each song grew further on me as I heard it live. Blossom and Sweet Time were written for his now-fiance and the man had to stop in the middle because he was so caught up in emotions about his then-GF that he mixed up the lyrics. It was the sweetest thing ever. They grew on me so much after that. They're just put together with such love.

[@macmusicreview]

The only reaction I will watch / care about.

[@discoseizure321]

i like how the chat was either "i love this" or "0/1000 hate it" there was no in-between

[@daishoryujin95]

This album feels like really pretty anime that everyone who's seen it says they cried so much and it changed their life

[@anatawaniwatori]

[@daishoryujin95]

@@anatawaniwatori it’s what I imagine when I listen to this album in the shower

[@anatawaniwatori]

DAISHORYUJIN 95 that sounds so nice man. All I can think about after coming back to this album is how satisfying it would be blasting the vinyl on an rainy day in my garden or listing to it while on a picnic with yourself :)

[@eludee119]

completely changed me

[@riley6875]

ive always liked get your wish because yeah, it is really big sounding, and it does feel like a big edm festival song, but compare the sound to the themes of fame in the lyrics. its an interesting contrast

[@jackdareviewer8823]

One of my favorite albums from this year

[@iel69burner]

outstanding music

[@tyc9909]

That jumkeyjumkey guy in chat saying this sounds like 2015 chainsmokers 💀💀💀 Ain’t no way

dullscythe is even better on stereo headset he does a lot of interesting things with directional sound on that one

[@brandonlea630]

I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH

[@humbertovarela9764]

I promise you. I'm a porter Stan. This tour live trumps worlds and port-eon

[@aaronpescasio]

Such a good album. my AOTY.

[@DavidRamirez-wr7lv]

As an casual EDM listener, I've only been really impressed by two particular albums in the last years, one of them is this and the other one is Good Faith by Madeon. Sorry for the mistakes on the grammar, I'm not a native speaker.

[@MattRanks]

Aoty for sure, maybe album of the decade

[@joel-yd1rv]

Such an underrated album in the music community imo

[@Blurryfl]

It’s disappointing that the Grammy’s didn’t put this as a nominee this year for best electronic/dance album. No hate to the nominees for the category, but I’m pretty sure Porter takes the cake for this year in my opinion.

[@djoweyvokun]

I guess it is cause Porter doesn't describe his music as EDM anymore. This album is an absolute masterpiece for us and you should cherish it yourself and make it special ♥️

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

It is a really distant album from other dance artists, to the point it’s hardly an EDM record, rather a beautiful, magical pop record with strong EDM influences.

[@xshermannx]

This album gave my life when it came out. I’ll never listen to music the same

[@szymondudzinski6661]

since you got san holo recommended after, i STRONGLY recommend you to listen to either of his albums

[@mrscardycreeper8972]

I'm a bit surprised you liked dullscythe more than a couple of the songs, but other than that a pretty fair and accurate review

[@calmedspirit]

As soon as Trying to Feel Alive ended, Lift me From the Ground by San Holo played. You should review that album, which is named Album1 by San Holo.

[@r_ramendump9681]

I went from Shelter, to now both Madeon and Porter Robinson, those 2 are on it

[@toastytoast1890]

I am rewatching this a later after watching it the first time around when it came out and I gotta say that the contrast between this guys community and Fantanos community when listening to Porter music (or music in general they don't like) is so polar opposite. Everyone in Fantanos chat that didn't like it would just say "play X artist" or "this is straight trash" and then you have people in this guys chat saying things like "I wish I liked this" and "I wish this clicked for me the way it does for y'all" like, what a great way to think about a track that you may not like.

[@jacob8972]

this is my album of the year. it’s amazing
