Transcripts

this is my fourth take what's up hey

we're back with another ranking if

you're new here uh this is what I do I

react and review albums nothing too

crazy you know I just give my little

silly opinion on it my little twist I

started this channel in February uh I

did 40 albums and then I made a little

ranking video and I have done another 40

albums and this is my second ranking

video all the albums on here are picked

based on recommendations from my viewers

so that's why these picks are a little

kind of random this list is probably

like 80 subjective I want to say to the

people who watch regularly I just want

to say thank you for tuning in uh giving

me your time of day not sure why you

chose to watch me but thank you but yeah

thank you for all the support

um I feel like we've grown so much over

the past like couple months and then the

fact that I've only started this channel

like six months ago we already got like

almost 4 000 it's just crazy to me so my

gratitude for you guys or anyone

watching this video is immense and uh

you know this these are just my opinions

they don't matter uh you guys probably

know these albums more than me I'm just

having a little bit of fun I'm having a

little bit of tomfoolery So yeah thank

you for watching let's go all right

coming in at dead last

um sorry I shouldn't say like that

coming in at 40 is a bjergs medulla

um yeah I admire uh the very different

kind of production that is on this album

how most of the instruments on this

album are basically bjork's mouth I

think that's great I think it's cool but

honestly I just can't go back to it you

know I tried listening to this and I

love what these songs are about you know

what I'm saying it just doesn't tickle

my ears you know the way the way I want

it to my favorite track has probably got

to be desired constellation uh not that

I returned to it often I just if I don't

if I'm picking one coming in at 39 I got

Fragile by yes I don't want to

disrespect this album you know what I'm

saying the last people that I want to

piss off are Prague fans you know I

already pissed y'all enough the fact

that I edit my videos but honestly uh

there's some like Prague aspects that I

like about this in general but I just

don't find myself returning to this

album as much as it's talked up to be

and I know know if that's just because

I'm 19 or something like that I don't

know if it's just because I'm really

young or I just don't understand a lot

of the different kinds of things going

on within these songs I mean I do

appreciate this album uh and what it has

to offer but like I said with the last

one on this list it just doesn't really

tickle tickle my fancy favorite track

though has to be roundabout uh those

memes were pretty funny back in what

year was that

20 coming out of 38 I got little Uzi

verts pink tape I was hyped as hell when

I was about to listen to this but after

seeing the amount of tracks that it was

I kind of knew deep down that you know

what was really about to happen I just

want to say I think flooded the face and

fire alarm are both top 10 maybe even

top five Lil Uzi vert songs other tracks

I like from this album are crush them

and

um spin again I didn't like that one

when I first listened to it you know Uzi

is barely on that Bring Me The Horizon

song all right it's not an Uzi song all

right I just want to I just want to get

that off my chest but yeah it's probably

uzi's Worst Album in my opinion I just I

don't know I just find a lot of tracks

for edible y'all might hate me for this

but at 37 I got Sufjan Stevens Illinois

I I just don't it's just I don't know I

don't I just can't listen to this I mean

like it's a good album you know the

great aspects about it I understand but

it's just it's just Casimir Pulaski Day

I always want to say though it was a

great song it's a very beautiful song

and I still think about the topic of

that sometimes I still think about that

story I think it's a very moving I think

it's great and I think this album is

very creative and it's songwriting and

song titles I I did almost fall asleep

listening to it I gotta be honest like

towards that last like 10 minutes man I

was really I was really about to tap out

and it's cool you know Different Strokes

for different folks that's why we're

here it is dark out man it might start

raining on my laptop at 36 I have black

midi's schlagenheim I just listened to

this it's it's very fresh it's like like

two days ago my latest one and I don't

know maybe it just hasn't had enough

time to sit yet which might be the

excuse I'm giving it to say that it has

it just didn't really impact me like the

other two black midi albums which are on

later in this list I feel like the highs

on Hellfire and cavalcade just

outweighed these ones

I thought I heard a raindrop

I swear I'm hearing some [ __ ] bmbmbm uh

great great one 935 is probably my

favorite song I don't know why I I just

feel like we peeked at the intro for

this album for me but like I said I just

I just listened to this so I I need to

listen to it again I actually have not

even relistened coming out of 35 I have

uh debut by Bjork I think that there's

many diverse elements on this that I

enjoy and I think that this was a very

fun listen I enjoyed myself heavily

listening to this I thought it was a

very enjoyable experience my favorite

song on here is uh like someone in love

I remember hearing uh a Lo-Fi song on a

tompa beats tape a while back and

um I recognize that sample instantly the

setting around it is just kind of like

Serene and yeah uh I get that this is

like kind of low on the list but I still

enjoy this album very much at 34 I have

black country New Roads for the first

time people are in the comments saying

that they like this more than ants from

up there I just I don't understand that

I get that it's a more kind of unique

sound but to me I just maybe it's the

spoken word maybe like there's more

spoken word on here which is why and

spoken word isn't really my favorite

thing in the world when it comes to you

know my music enjoyability and I have a

lot of respect for this album and

there's a lot of cool different kinds of

sounds and things going on here but I

just don't think it really compares to

their sophomore my favorite song on here

is track x uh when those female vocals

came in on that song uh that was my that

was my favorite part of the album coming

in at 33 I have uh Bjork again without

Von lakira the sister album to

vespertine this is a sad one you know

this was a pretty sad one to listen to

extreme extremely personal album by her

every album by her is a bit personal I

feel like but on this [ __ ] I felt like

her therapist favorite track on here is

probably Stone milker I want to say the

songwriting on this album I also think

it's very fantastic like on family and

black lake so yeah great album at 32 I

got Modest Mouse with The Lonesome

crowded West another one where the a lot

like some songs in here just didn't

really kind of you know resonate with me

you know my ears just kind of rejected

some of the sounds on this album but I

also did like a lot of aspects about

this I love the structure of this album

and I Love How It Ends you know the song

about the dude going to heaven I love

the way this album kicks off too there

were just a huge massive amounts of

energy a lot of songs I like on here as

well like trailer trash and convenient

parking some songs felt a little bit

longer to me like uh chucker's Atlas you

know that one was that was a tough

lesson for me but I still overall

enjoyed this album coming in at 31 I got

cavalcade by black midi I feel like I

sort of understand this album a little

bit each song kind of feels like a

little mini like autobiography about the

character that we're talking about I

love I love ascending fourths I feel

like that whole song in general just

builds up to something spectacular and I

find this album probably their easiest

to listen to you know easiest on the

ears yeah I know it was that quick that

was like five minute Reign I mean at 30

is Alex G's trick I I think this album

is very easy to digest I think it's very

fun to listen to I love his songwriting

it's very honest favorite tracks on here

probably animals advice Sarah 16 mirrors

I really like how this album wraps up I

don't have any gripes with this album I

think the only thing that was difficult

for me to listen to at first was his

voice it's that's just how light it is

coming at 29 is Aphex twins drugs drug

someone said it was pronounced drug use

this album was a trip to listen to uh at

some points I wanted to blow my head off

but at some points I just felt so Serene

and I had one with everything I'm not

gonna lie I do need a proper re-listen

to this I've only really went back to

the songs I liked favorite track on here

is probably uh baby on chord if that's

how it's pronounced uh that's just a

banger to me I don't know why I was

dancing to that [ __ ] I still I still

listen to that April 14th all the piano

songs really just have an emotional

effect on me and I feel like that this

is a very personal album from Richard so

I I admire it in many ways for that it's

just some songs in here that genuinely

hurt my ears that's why it's at 29

coming in at 28 is bjork's Po y'all

should see me work out to Army of me you

know what I'm saying again it's intense

it gets intense I'll be doing I'll be

doing some dumbbell incline Bjork saw my

ears screaming and if you you complain

oh she's she's really much I also love

hyper bald like on it's so so quiet I

feel like the it just gets so intense

and then quiet sometimes during that

song and I swear to God I've heard that

song in a commercial somewhere possibly

maybe two is also a very beautiful one

to me I think I think this album is

great coming at 27 is Aphex twins

Richard D James this is this is just a

fun album you know after I listened to

this I had four finger Bib and goon

Goombas on repeat you know for like a

week and then I just kind of stopped

listening to all of them I listen to

finger bibs sometimes now I still love

that song and I just I just feel cool as

[ __ ] whenever I listen to this album

some songs yeah you know they're not

really that accessible to me they're

kind of tricky to listen to the kind of

Heart of my ears which is why it's not

ranked higher for me but I I still like

a lot of qualities about this coming out

of 26 I have talk talks laughing stock I

loved this album when I first listened

to it but it's weird it's like after I

listen to it it's like the Men in Black

came in and just erased my memory you

know this album is very low-key there's

not really a lot of high energy moments

but I think it's very calming and it's

just it's just a pretty simple album to

me I love the themes of this and I love

how each song is kind of paced it just

makes it very digestible you know I did

my homework once listening to this album

and it was it was very good you know one

time I popped this album in my little CD

thing I got because I actually bought

this one on CD and I cleaned my room and

I swear to God man my room was never

cleaner all right coming in at 25 I have

King Crews it's space heavy someone made

a great comment uh it was something

along the lines of how they felt as if

this album has like always been out

because this album I did come out very

recently and like over the next couple

weeks after listening to this like the

songs on this album just felt so

familiar they were out for years prior

it this does not sound like it came out

this year so the little Deja Vu aspect

that this album brings is it's very it's

very nice favorite songs on here have to

be of empty space cadet flimsier and it

makes me excited to dive into more of

his work because this is the only album

that I've listened to you know by him at

24 I I got crumbling by mid-air Thief

this is very nice this is very nice this

is this is how I imagine medulla

listeners feel when they like that it

does remind me of sweet trip I think

it's very fun to listen to and fun is

the word I want to use because it's just

it's just a [ __ ] blast you know it's

not my language so I don't know what any

of these songs are about but I do know

the I do know that I like the favorite

song on here is probably maybe why or

These Chains you know this album just

puts me in a very Whimsical kind of

state of mind you know I I just start

appreciating everything after this

coming in at 23 is mount eerie's a crow

looked at me

um I didn't like talking about this I

feel like an [ __ ] for not putting

this number one uh I don't know if I

should feel that way this album feels

more like poetry than music to me to be

honest and I I have not I'm gonna be

honest I have not went back to it since

the first lesson and I don't want to you

know for good for good for good reason

and favorite shock on here though is

probably Ravens if you watch my video on

this you want you'll you'd see why that

was the one that got me coming in at 22

I have godspeed You black panther

f-a- Infinity I don't know if that's how

that's actually you know said but that's

how I read it you know a crow looked at

me made me scared of someone else dying

in my life this album made me scared to

die I think dead flag Blues is uh just

haunting just so haunting although this

album is kind of like a blur to me you

know I listened to it all and I was like

what the [ __ ] did I just listen to it

wasn't a fun listen but it was a very

you know kind of you know holy [ __ ]

moment Providence made me realize you

know what I can listen to a 29 minute

song you know I I really can't just

casually turn on a 29 minute song and

just listen to it you know I'm like that

coming in at 21 I have Travis Scott's

Utopia I'm sorry for putting this album

over like

a lot of these I know it like just came

out but

um

um hey I'm proud of Travis man you know

I don't think that this lived up to the

five-year wait I'm not disappointed by

this either I think I think it's a very

strong release by him my favorite song

off it has to be Sirens uh his verse on

my eyes I think is incredible

telekinesis is great I think I think the

features on this uh are kind of Hit or

Miss for me you know some songs you know

I felt like needed a feature and other

songs I felt like you know should have

been stripped back of some but yeah the

only reason why I put it above a lot of

these albums is because I've just been

returning to it so much recently but

over time you know all the albums I

listed before I truly think are like

objectively better albums I just like I

just like this coming in at 20. I have

bjork's homogenic if I'm ranking bjork's

albums right now in general I I put this

second to Vesper team I really enjoy

this one a lot tracks like unravel five

years are just very beautiful to me this

song features my favorite song from her

as well alarm call I love alarm call

when she says beep beep you know you

know what I'm talking about Pluto also

did grow on me and I think all is full

of love is amazing even though it is

Extremely Loud at 19 I got Nick Drake's

pink moon just so short and beautiful

man this guy's songwriting his guitar

playing it's just front to back I think

that [ __ ] is damn near perfect my

favorite song on here personally is

place to be picking moon is also great I

still till this day don't know what he

means by you know pink moon you know I

still don't really know we know what his

definition of it is but it's cool you

know I got my little definition and I

think everyone does as well I also think

from the morning it's just a beautiful

closer coming into 18 I have swans to be

kind I've only given this album one

re-listen and just just me saying I've

only giving something one re-listen that

I you know just take that take that with

a grain of salt because I still am not

as familiar with this album as I'd want

to be I think if I did understand every

aspect and if I could recall certain

moments off the top of my head then this

album would I probably put it higher

favorite track on here is probably

oxygen or a screenshot it's probably

oxygen man like y'all should see me in a

gym to oxygen bro I'd be I'd be throwing

them shits up at 17 I have animals by

Pink Floyd the only song I've returned

to on this one a lot is uh probably dogs

but just the songwriting on this album

in its relation to you know Animal Farm

I think I think those two are related I

think I read a comment saying that they

were because I because I did read that

book so it makes this album uh you know

easier for me to understand some aspects

to it that I'm kind of still confused by

and don't really understand which is why

I can't put it as high as I'd want to

but I'm sure once I become more

acquainted with it I'll find myself

returning to it and enjoying it a lot

more than I should be right now at 16 I

have Elliott Smith's either or yeah I

saw him writing is just it's it's crazy

I just feel so bad for the guy Man

favorite shotgun here is a ballad of big

nothing say yes I also enjoy a lot from

start to finish I think his vocals are

are just very easy for me to get into

they're very like soft they're very

gentle I thought this was a good place

to start in his discography I definitely

need to listen to another album coming

in at 15 I have metal by Pink Floyd it

might be an unpopular opinion to think

that I personally enjoy metal more than

animals just has more moods that I've

you know can associate with different

things more I think Echoes is just an

incredibly fun song to listen to from

start to finish I think it's it's just

such an incredible journey but my

favorite song on here has to be a pillow

of wins I just think you know a love

song that's it's just so beautiful to me

it just makes me want to sit at the

beach and just you know die coming in at

14 I got black midis Hell Fire this was

just I don't understand my like

obsession with this album I just keep

like going back to listen to it and I I

don't I don't know why it's not that I

like I love these songs you know I just

can't stop listening to this album just

so many very intriguing themes on these

songs I don't know I just think it's so

fun to like go back to it I I it's just

it's it's just brain melting favorite

song on here and black midi song in

general has to be still actually

returned to that song quite a bit

outside of the context of re-listening

to this album like in in the whole I

think this album just ends so crazy too

with a guy on stage he dies and everyone

laughs at him the instrumentation on

Hellfire the title track 2 the intro

it's just it's just what like reels me

into this album it's just it's just

perfect to me my only complaint about

this album is that it's like 38 minutes

it should be like 50. at 13 I have the

Big Thief album uh long name it's weird

because this genre like like I don't

know what genre this is like alt country

or something it's not even like my

personal favorite genre like I don't

even really like [ __ ] with it that much

I like there's just so many songs in

this album so I found a lot of

highlights on here and I returned to a

lot of them her songwriting too is also

just you know outside of my english

comprehension so it's it's it's it's

hard for me to uh kind of understand

because of I I have a smooth brain but

yeah so many songs that I love on here

no reason certainty change uh simulation

swarm I know those are all popular but

uh a song that I think is incredibly

underrated on here is a blurred View so

if you're not listening to that

frequently you should be and yeah I

remember like around the time I was

listening to this album I was like on

vacation and I like I took my airpods in

and I walked into the ocean and I had uh

the title track playing in in my ears

and I just I felt I fell in love with

this album coming in at 12 is the

Avalanches since I left you uh this

album the samples I mean it's all

samples but it's just the way everything

just flows together so well and I I

think it just features so many different

things from different genres and it's

just a big Cesspool of just amazing I

get lost re-listening to this album you

know each track track after track and I

don't even you know really have a

favorite song on here because they just

kind of all like feel the same to me

they're all so great they all like are

like pivotal roles within this album if

I had to say a favorite track it's

probably diners only that transitions

into a different feeling that transition

those two songs back to back that is

though that's it's MJ and Pippin you

know that's it's amazing at 11 I have

car seat headrests uh twin fantasy the

way this guy writes about love is just

unparalleled to anything that I've heard

probably ever I got sober to death on

repeat Beach life and death is one of my

favorite songs I've listened to on this

channel in general it's 13 minutes of

just like what the [ __ ] this guy is

going through some [ __ ] and the whole

theme of this album being presented to

us kind of in the end that's why that's

kind of when I figured out what

everything was about you know I feel

like this story is just ties so well

together coming in at 10 I have uh Black

Country New Roads ants from up there

another album where I was like damn this

guy's been through some [ __ ] uh his

songwriting is you know it he says he

says a line and I'm just like damn that

was a bar you know that was just that

was crazy and maybe I should I should

recognize that more on uh for the first

time and maybe I will maybe I should

give that a properly listen like how I

listen to this like 10 times since

favorite track is uh the place where he

inserted the blade I don't care that

it's you know the most most popular one

or the most loved uh it's just it's it's

crazy to me it is crazy to me if you

haven't seen my reaction to this video

into that song you know that's it was a

life-changing moment for me coming at

nine I have a wise blood with wise blood

wise blood with Titanic Rising her voice

man you know her voice and just the

instruments on here they just compliment

each other so well every time I listen

to this album I feel like I'm on the

verge of levitating my favorite song in

here production wise movies I love the

arpeggio on that it's I was just kind of

buried in there but my favorite song

right here at first it was Andromeda but

now it's probably you know A lot's Gonna

Change I I just think it's such a great

intro also I'm a huge fan of that

ambient title track and I'm so glad that

the person commented that there was a

longer version of it because I have

listened to that man at number eight I

got Fishman's in 98 12 28. I did two

videos on this and I did that for a

reason because after I listened to the

first disc I thought oh my God this is

incredible I don't want to spoil it by

you know listening to too much

so I split it up in the two videos and

thank God that I did I watched the live

performance of this uh of long season

and I think that itself I'd put you know

alone at number eight I mean everything

on this album is just kind of a bonus to

me at that point but it's my favorite

out my favorite track has to be track

number three I don't know what the

translation is I I read it in the video

but I forgot and I also love in the

flight uh everything else you know I

kind of it's cool when I listen to it

but those are the only two tracks I

really returned to and I listened to one

of very very very frequent basis and and

the live performance of this when I

watched it I was like damn they are

cooking they are cooking and I watched

it again later on and I was like damn

they are cooking coming in at seven I

have the cures disintegration this is a

very recent one that I did I mostly like

every song on this album I think it's

almost perfect to me it's just the kind

of genre that I enjoy you know it's the

kind of genre that makes my ears go you

know hey let's let's keep that on let's

keep listening to this I do think this

album kind of starts stronger than it

finishes with plain song picture is a

viewing close down those three songs are

like my favorite like just just

listening to those three like back to

back to back I also love the atmosphere

on the same deep water as you I love the

song writing on prayers for rain I love

the kind of energy shift that we took on

Fascination Street everything on here

just has an aspect to what every song on

here has an ass like just plays a

different role and why I love this album

so much coming in at six I have swans uh

soundtracks for the blind I feel weird

putting this like this high but like I'm

not gonna lie to y'all like this was one

of the most fun album experiences I've

ever like put myself through like song

for a song I like did not know what was

coming next and I was just like I was

horrified but I wasn't like actually

scared I was the kind of scared I was

more like horrifyingly intrigued than

you know scared red vocord or such an

amazing opening it's just a sign that

everything is about to spiral out of

control and it sounds like you know this

instrumental was spiraling already I was

a prisoner in your skull is horrifying

the start of it and and you know it I

can honestly just do a whole video about

talking about each song on here and how

it makes me feel but yeah the

instruments on that song is kind of you

know Fade Into craziness as the guy

comes in and just starts [ __ ]

attacking the person and starts

harassing them on how [ __ ] up they are

just because they can't see helpless

child uh after helpless child like that

16 minute epic I just I'm just already

mentally drained and the track like the

album has barely started so many

different genre Inspirations I feel like

you know I like when volcano came on I

was like what the [ __ ]

I love that [ __ ] all lined up might be

the scariest song you know of all time

you know I've never heard anything

freakier you know I I truly don't

understand what Michael is thinking

writing that but you know what I'm not

going to question anything to be honest

I'm afraid of him I actually found the

second half more horrifying even though

it's kind of hard for me to remember

like when I was like when I was like

like halfway through the second disc I

was like just kind of like Fading Into

Obscurity I just didn't know who I was

anymore before I move on to my next one

I just want to say that uh yrp uh the

scream of that song sounds like Stewie

Griffin and that's what that's all I

gotta say

top five top five uh I'm kicking off the

top five with you know I'm cheating you

know I'm putting five and four right

next to each other uh I'm putting both

affex twins selected ambient works I

will say though at five I think I'm

gonna put uh volume two just such a

great album to to just sit down and do

some deep thinking I was not expecting

to like a long-winded ambient album this

much considering it was as long as like

soundtracks for the blind I know there

are some songs on here that genuinely I

I can't listen to I'm very afraid of

that like they just don't put me in a

good state of mind that I want to be in

so I have to exit from them but you know

what I'm gonna do I'm gonna I'm gonna

tell you ten songs that I grab from this

that I I like to ponder to and you know

that's that's my little mix uh those

songs are one three six seven ten

thirteen fourteen Seventeen nineteen and

twenty that is that is David smags

certified list so at four I have volume

one of this and I put volume one above

two because I just I don't know I'm just

kind of in the zone when I listen to

that [ __ ] one of my life goals now is to

take adderall and listen to selected

ambient Works volume one I just want to

hear posts with in a club setting you

know before I die that's all that's all

I want first song You Know stall two I

feel like the first like six tries on

here you know everything before green

calcs is a perfect song to me but I do

love Helios fan uh we are The Music

Makers the final song in here I think

it's a cool way to just kind of chill

out the album at number three I I have

burials unscrew this album just has like

such a deep spot in my heart I feel like

it combines what I like about both

selected ambient works you know you got

the kind of ambient songs you know like

dog shelter UK in McDonald's endorphin

you know those songs are just kind of

space out too and then it got songs that

I could just [ __ ] turn up to ghost

Hardware Archangel Rave you know the

other songs you know I don't really love

too much but you know I feel like they

play a great spot in the album but yeah

he is he is literally me I I need to

listen to another album by him coming at

number two I have godspeed You black

Emperors lift your skinny fists like

antennas to Heaven do y'all know like

what this album like means to people

like when I listen to this for the first

time I you know I like I understood you

know how great the music was but two

weeks later I listened to it again and

it was just

different you know I should I should

have recorded my second time listening

to this and I was reading the comments

as I was going through it and just

seeing like that music like this just

saves lives you know it just like if the

aliens were pointing a laser beam at

Earth and they said show me an album or

am I blow this [ __ ] up I think I might

show them this one you know I feel like

that they would have respect for us you

know after that and there's not even

like lyrics by like band members you

know it's just little spoken word bits

but I feel like you know the way that

they're like slowed down is amazing you

know the little gas station kind of uh

thing that played after the first song

you know I feel like that added to the

atmosphere so well uh the preacher you

know deep voice on static you know that

was

haunting you know this is premium music

that I would prefer to Listen to If I

was dying yeah I read a comment

somewhere saying that this album just

encapsulates uh the most beautiful and

dark things about humanity and I know I

don't want to sound pretentious or

anything but I think that that is just

correct finally at number one I have

Grace by Jeff Buckley I was just shocked

I was just shocked I didn't I did not

know that a man's voice could do that I

watched some live performances after of

him and uh I was shocked even more

because he's better live song for song

on here you know when I when I when I'm

at my job you know and I can't have like

headphones in uh I think about songs I

think about music because you know I

love songs I love music and

this like the lyrics on this album like

his singing it just gets stuck in my

[ __ ] head every song on here is an

earworm to me so real love her you

should come over Hallelujah my favorite

song on here though

lilac wine

lilac wine easily I sing that [ __ ] in

the car I ca and I just can't I cannot

go note for note with this guy but yeah

if you haven't watched the videos of

this guy live uh you should you should

and you know now I'm pissed that this

guy only had one album and now I'm

ending this video on a pissed note and I

don't want to be pissed so yeah thank

you for watching uh thank you so much

for watching if you enjoyed uh please

like the video you know even though this

list I put together very roughly you

know it took me a while because I didn't

want to [ __ ] anything up uh but at the

end of the day you know as I was making

I'm like this is not gonna be gonna be

perfect you know a month from now I'm

gonna resent me making this list like a

year from now I might be like why the

[ __ ] did I put Travis Scott at 20 but

you know what I've been listening to

that album and it just happened so yeah

I want to say thank you for listening

thank you for listening to my takes even

though they might be pretty bad if you

want to subscribe to watch uh my new

reviews that I'm going to be doing I'm

gonna be doing another 40 and then

another ranking video and then who knows

maybe I'll Branch out into other things

you know as I'm doing this but thank you

for watching I really appreciate that uh

like And subscribe I will catch you
