Massive congrats on releasing this Jakey, never been more proud of a dude I never met

Jakey’s sampling is some of the best I’ve ever heard, album slaps so far

I only listen to this with my best headphones - the soundscape work is incredible and unironically gives me chills. I can feel how much Jakey cares about carrying the listener's attention from point A to point B without ever "settling" for less. His music's meant a lot to me ever since I heard Not Dead Yet, and I appreciate that he stuck with it despite the struggles of production described in this album. I know how hard working on a solo project can be, and I hope maybe he's identified the part(s) of production that bogged him down so that he might get collaborative help with those parts moving forward. Dude clearly has incredible talent and must enjoy some parts of the production pipeline, it would be a shame for that to get limited by the parts that are annoying for him

ive had saintlike and south dakota in a workout playlist for YEARS ive been waiting so long for this

Holy shit, can't believe I get to be a part of history! Massive congrats to you Jakey, this album was more than worth the wait!

WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU MR JACOB

I'm a little sad that the album cover with the mannequins is gone, that shit was art

Bear with me, i promise this story is relevant to this album. I was in a really, really bad relationship this time last year. I struggled internally for over a month to try and find the balls to end it, and I did once but then she tried to kill herself so I got back with her. There have been very few times in my life that I've been so unhappy as I was in the time between when we got back together and when I separated from her permanently, but a few weeks after I got back together with her I just had this sudden calm come over me, so I went out to my truck (so as not to be overheard by my family, who I lived with over winter break) and called her to break up with her. After I hung up the phone, I walked back into the house and sat on the kitchen floor, and opened YouTube to find something to watch. The date was December 20th, and the very first thing on my homepage was the audio for Pine Barrens. I'm not a religious man, but when I put in my headphones and listened to it on the floor of that kitchen I had a spiritual experience. I knew then that I had done the right thing, and that everything was going to be ok, and in the end it was. So, Pine Barrens has an incredibly special place in my heart, as it always reminds me of that day when I discovered that I also have power and individuality. So, when I tell you that hearing that verse and the subsequent chorus harmony made me cry, I'm not kidding nor being dramatic. I never thought I'd have a spiritual journey twice with the same song, but somehow you've given me that, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that Jakey. Thank you and Dog Bless 🙏

straight up hell fire 🔥🔥🔥

Pine Barrens has been my favorite song of 2021 and 2022 and hearing that new verse halfway though was such a treat. I’m proud enough to say that I’m sobbing right now because this song has helped me get through the toughest time of my life. I’m so happy I’ve been given the opportunity to listen to your album in its entirety Mr. Naked Jacob. I appreciate you so much and would love to see you perform live someday.

I just don't understand how Jakey's batting average is so crazy good. I've loved every single one of his songs. EVERY. ONE. And this album was absolutely worth the wait. Just absolute best in class when it comes to sampling and production. Those samples are just mind-blowing.

The sorority singing sample was the gift that kept on giving with this album 10/10

These comments are amazing. I've never seen someone who's fostered such a wholesome and supportive community just through their content. You truly are something special Jackey

he did it. i'm honestly so emotional right now. I hope jakey pursues his musical career further. Would be surreal to one day see Jaquan performing live.

This is a perfect mix of memes, nerd culture, and real life existentialism. A perfect album for today. An accomplishment that will follow you the rest of your life, Jake. This dad is proud of you.

Drive Off A Bridge + Like Totally Freak Me Out would just make an insane 6 and a half minute opener to a live show before anything else is said. So gnarly.

Literally started crying when I heard the beginning of drive off a bridge, and realized that holy shit, this actually exists. Like its out, I dont have to go and listen to some randos video of looping the romcom trailer. Incredible job man. This is so fucking amazing and we are all proud of you.

If Jakey's only song was Moby Dick, or Pine Barrens, or Not Dead Yet, or Saintlike, then he'd still be an incredible musical artist. Romcom is the perfect evolution of his style, blending that sincerity and vulnerability that has come to define his style with amazing samples, awesome beats, and great music overall. This album is perfect for shallow listening, as well as deep analysis, and Mr. Snakob Jacob must be proud of his accomplishment. 10/10

I cried at Tommy Hanks, you can really tell how much effort, time, and tears went into this album. I am so proud of you Jakey. Was it a long wait? Yes, but it was more than worth it. Thank you for existing dont eat glass guy, we love you <3
