Worlds was a 5 tho It's fine to do that vocaloid shit for Sad Machine but it was all over that album and it sounded like shit. Coming from Spitfire EP to Worlds was a huge letdown. He got his redemption on Nurture, tho.

Caretaker, nice. Also, super late, but I revisited your Glow pt 2 review and I just wanted to thank you for shouting out Old Time Relijun. God what a hilariously fun band.
Piss Warm Take- I really believe that Mindless Self Indulgence should be considered as Proto-Hyper Pop. Though I agree that sonically their sound is not exactly in the same vein of the likes of 100 Gecs Etc.. But they truly share the concept, and the general spirit, of making super melodic hook-heavy pop songs and then take it apart and bring it all to a wild and quirky extreme while blending as many genres as possible, which are generally the same genres Hyper Pop is blending today- Hip Hop, Metal and Heavy Electronic music. With all the recent talk and rising popularity of the genera I don't think I ever heard them being mentioned.
I've been a fan since 2013 and I have discovered SO many artists that I never would have come across had it not been for your videos. I don't always agree with your assessments but you present them in an articulate and intelligent way and I'm almost always interested in listening to a record that you review. I'm glad that you enjoy what you're doing, and I hope you keep enjoying it for a long time.
It is The Caretaker from another album of his called An Empty Bliss Beyond this World, which is shorter and more vibey (but still melancholy) than EATEOT
Honestly Fantano seems like he'd be a really good dad. Cares about his health, is thoughtful and reflective, good sense of humor, successful, musically gifted to entertain kids.
I agree, personally I can't stand video essays that are like 17 minutes long and are always titled, "Why this (enter classic song or album) is good", and then proceed to read the entire Wikipedia page like this isn't the most basic info possible.
that music theory comment about you being "too difficult" is hilarious to me. my only experiences with music theory is having dated musicians who were really nerdy and loved to talk about reverb or whatever and i can follow along to your reviews without any problem at all, like, i can't remember a single time where you've used terminology that i didn't understand. either i'm way more nerdy about music than i give myself credit for, or... i don't know. you do great work!
giving something a "perfect" score should be scarce. most media you consume, visual and auditory, is more than likely just going to be average with it being sometimes terrible, and sometimes amazing. and even when its amazing it's still rarely approaching perfect. the fact anybody would expect perfect scores given out more often just reads to me like somebody who (not to sound like a pretentious snob) doesn't actually like analyzing what they listen to but rather passively consumes content. not to say you necessarily need to deeply analyze everything you consume, I certainly don't, but that kind of mindset doesn't even seem to consider that you should maybe think about why you like something and the nuances of the media you consume. just seems to me like somebody misunderstanding what goes into analysis and reviews.
I almost NEVER agree with a Fantano opinion. I’m of the sub-group that watches videos on shit I’ve already seen lol. But the entertainment is solid, and I honestly like hearing conflicting opinions. Helps me further solidify my own I think.
Memes aside Anthony I just wanna hammer home that you have given me a lot of music recommendations over the years, shown me other ways to think about music and most of all, YOU'RE A VOICE I KNOW I CAN TRUST when it comes to music! And that's precisely because of the repetitive stuff you do THAT WORKS and the quality content! I'm sure you don't need to hear it from me, but these adolescent teens just want you to change a working formula you have built just to exercise some control over you. You just keep doing you man. That's it, sorry for the long rant, thank you for all the years of great critique!
I've been watching your videos for some time now and just want to say - thank you! You introduced me to awesome weird sh*t over the years. I realy hope all the people taking out their personal issues on you doesn't stop you from what you are doing. Anthony Fantano. Forever.

-Let's bring the infinity flannel back
giving something a "perfect" score should be scarce. most media you consume, visual and auditory, is more than likely just going to be average with it being sometimes terrible, and sometimes amazing. and even when its amazing it's still rarely approaching perfect. the fact anybody would expect perfect scores given out more often just reads to me like somebody who (not to sound like a pretentious snob) doesn't actually like analyzing what they listen to but rather passively consumes content.
not to say you necessarily need to deeply analyze everything you consume, I certainly don't, but that kind of mindset doesn't even seem to consider that you should maybe think about why you like something and the nuances of the media you consume. just seems to me like somebody misunderstanding what goes into analysis and reviews.
"Perfect" is a meaningless term.
Lmao I love how one of Pitchforks rated 10 albums is MBDTF
I almost NEVER agree with a Fantano opinion. I’m of the sub-group that watches videos on shit I’ve already seen lol. But the entertainment is solid, and I honestly like hearing conflicting opinions. Helps me further solidify my own I think.
I love that you review only what you want, because you DO in fact introduce me to my music I never would have heard about otherwise.
Let’s agree I kinda wished the whole video would just be him playing bass
I do that everyday
Edit: I thought it said let’s argue with me I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding
This is hilarious lmao
good job
Let’s argue: Anthony is a thicc boi

First video ive seen of you and you seem pretty cool, looks like im gonna be tuning in
Memes aside Anthony I just wanna hammer home that you have given me a lot of music recommendations over the years, shown me other ways to think about music and most of all, YOU'RE A VOICE I KNOW I CAN TRUST when it comes to music! And that's precisely because of the repetitive stuff you do THAT WORKS and the quality content! I'm sure you don't need to hear it from me, but these adolescent teens just want you to change a working formula you have built just to exercise some control over you. You just keep doing you man. That's it, sorry for the long rant, thank you for all the years of great critique!
LET'S AGREE: Anthony reacting to bad lyrics or album art should be a regular series on this channel
Let's Argue: the reason Melon laughs at random times in his videos is cabin fever from spending all his time in his review room.
Gotta love that auditory Caretaker reference shortly after talking about memory loss.
Ever thought going into voice acting? You've got a pretty versatile and strangely dynamic voice
I like it
I've been watching your videos for some time now and just want to say - thank you! You introduced me to awesome weird sh*t over the years. I realy hope all the people taking out their personal issues on you doesn't stop you from what you are doing. Anthony Fantano. Forever.
Playing Everywhere at the End of Time at the end to make us forget what we just saw
what did we see?

Let’s Agree: Melon sounds like Melón in Spanish
...si
Let's agree: they are homonyms
@@lolfacepalm569 don't you mean cognates?
Post Melón
Let's agree: I have that same target brand denim vest.
This is one of the best Let's Argue episodes I've ever watched 🤣
5:23 That's the correct response. You can't pull 10's out of thin air. The album has to bring it.
that jazz-man callout was on the money 😂😂😂
New flex:
"Internet's busiest music nerd that never ages because he has the best teeth in the game"
Let's argue: Anthony is inspiring and has helped hundreds of thousands of people listen to music that they love
Love the bass playing.
i can’t hold you i need to hear this man review the voice deluxe. that project by lil durk is amazingggg but i’d love to hear his perspective 💯
Let's Agree : Anthony is Weezer's #1 fan.
Nah, that's Billy Cobb.
weezer is anthony’s #1
Anthony is death grips #1 fan
he's their only fan
He’s the #2 weezer fan. Billy Cobb is first. Anthony definitely loves weezer a lot though
