LEAST FAV TRACK: n/a
SUNN O))) - PYROCLASTS / 2019 / SOUTHERN LORD / DRONE METAL
8/10 www.theneedledrop.com/loved-l...
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
sunn o))) fans watch at 0.25x speed
“Let’s tune our guitars down to drop A and play a sound check for 44 minutes.”
Least fav: n/a
Wow melon I didn't think 2019 would get a 10
When an 8 album gets no least fave tracks but strong 9s get one.
There is only 4 tracks on the album....
@@cinlives3183 lol
No least favorites doesn't automatically equal a 10. You can have a great album with no bad tracks, but it not be super boundary pushing or inventive.
@@TheMetalTempestYT it's a joke chill
Actually anthony, it's pronounced Sun Oh right parenthesis right parenthesis right parenthesis
Null and Void I legit pronounced it Sun Ohhhhhhh for like a year after I discovered them, which was a little more than ten years ago now... I just never ran into anyone who would correct me, but when I finally met an acquaintance in college who liked drone and doom, goddamn, my mind was blown that you don’t pronounce the actual 🌑))) symbol like a drawn out “oh!” 😄
Parenthony Sunntan O)))
Sunnthony Otano
I've been calling them sun zero close brackets. Is it a zero or an O?
@@killslay
Sun zero sounds like a brand of soft drink, or orange juice.
Anthony looks like a Slavic computer repairman
That's the most bizzarely accurate statement I've ever heard.
sam anteater *Read
@@kbs1212 *That's the most read statement I've ever heard
Fixed it.
He looks cool.
I cannot unsee this now, fuck you man
Anthony needs to make more metal reviews honestly...
He's brought me onto a lot of great albums. Best I heard was Idol by Horrendous
Real shit
Generally his fanbase demands mainstream pop and rap most of the time. Logically speaking, this is his job, and not everyone enjoys metal. In facts, I'd say the vast majority of his subscriber base doesn't know who a Portal or a Horrendous or even a Sunn is. But it's obvious that his, say, Jaden Smith reviews or Drake reviews or Kendrick Lamar reviews--or even classic albums, for that matter--get hundreds of thousands of views, whereas metal reviews range 40k to 120k at the absolute most, unless it's King Gizzard with an already established record.
Bottom line, he talks about metal he chooses to due to demand. Just like how he puts a lot of underground stuff in YUNoReview. :)
@@TheMetalTempestYT yeah you have a fair point, especially considering that he's talked about Sun O))) in the past already and is clearly an avid fan. Still...i like his taste in metal and i love discovering new stuff from him when he DOES do a metal review. It's like a breath of fresh air
worst genre ever
I don’t even listen to music. I’m just here to form opinions.
the worst type of fantano fans
This is fantano
LEAST FAV TRACK: n/a
Still gets an 8.
2019 really is the year of the 8s
The Weather Channel Nashville twcfan Jake Oldham it’s cause there are only 4 tracks and he probably considers all those tracks 8/10
Not just an 8, LIGHT 8. That's closer to a 7. He just considers all the songs as great, just not groundbreaking or revolutionary or something. Plus for a drone album, it really is short.
Relax its a joke..
@@arkayv you Anthony fans are obsessive. It's creepy
@@arkayv well i mean, anthony has given albums that aren't revolutionary high scores, he probably liked the album but did not completely love it or something.
Saw “decade” in the description and was expecting a 10
Ian Harmon yea usually when he mentions the decade it’s a 0,9, or 10
We got baited
drone isn't a bid genre]
Quesartillana neither is noise rock, no wave or industrial/experimental hip-hop
lmaoooooooo
Hey Anthony, I know we don’t talk much, but is it alright if we can be partners for our history project? I don’t have a partner yet
I heard he's aiming for Becky so he can ask her to the winter formal when they're alone
You can always ask Cal Chuchesta.
Sorry, cals going with ME
Stephen O’Malley breaking into my house to kill me because I pronounce the “O” in Sunn O)))
It's pronounced 'Malley'
I'm always interested to know how UA-camrs got their name. So tell us Melon, how did you come up with the name Anthony Fantano?
At this stage SunnO))) have proven they can do a movie soundtrack. The production and mixing on Life Metal and Pyroclasts has really got me wanting these guys doing a movie score.
Edit: That being said I also think this a criminally underrated album because features the most immersive, meditative and gigantic guitar drones the duo has ever put on tape. It's some of their best work without question.
Sunn O))) should have scored the new Dune movie.
@@movimentodoscacos You're not the first one I've heard say this, and I agree 100%. Tragic really SunnO))) didn't get the offer; I'm waiting for them to get a big budget movie to score. The Pyroclasts aesthetic fits Dune very well.
Dune Part 2 soundtrack
Proof that the no bad songs still gives you a 8
edit: joke cuz I’m gay
Yeah this was the reassurance I needed. Very disappointed in Rateony Eightano
*AHEM* fardthony shidtano here
A song being good doesn't mean it's a 10/10 song
Agustín Videla That’s The Fuckthony Joketano
@@breadwinner37 Poe'sthony Lawtano
I feel like the reason why anthony keeps giving 8s is to show us that the actual review matters more than the rating
"It's kind of short... at 44 minutes"
Excusethony Metano
for a sunn record
A long album is over 1:30 minutes
I suppose but the average ambient/drone song is really fkin long
I mean the new swans record was also short af at 1:30
@@kernostwinsisters6281 i think CDs only have 78 minutes of space, so anything longer than that would be a double album technically
Anthony: *doesn't wear a flannel*
Everyone: *confused screaming*
It's good but not flannel good
Do you enjoy making others cringe?
FLANthony NELtano
Lmao.. looking like Anthony from chili peppers with the creeper stache
@@ananyanwu do you enjoy being a bitter asshole that finds a lighthearted joke cringe? You must be fun at parties.
"Frost" came up for me when I listened to the New Music Mix on Apple Music and I was very intrigued. At first I thought the song just had a really long intro seeing it was 10 minutes long consisting of noise. When the 5 minute mark passed I realized this was the song itself and I immediately added the rest of the album to my playlist and listened to it in full. While I couldn't pick out the intricacies you mentioned, I plan to listen to Pyroclasts again as well as discover their other material. I've very much gotten into noise music lately starting with the Daughters album, so it was nice to discover other artists that produce these types of musical landscapes.
So happy you gave the lads a good score. I was bumping this record during one of the toughest projects of my life and it really helped. One of their best pieces of work since black one
Only a Sunn O))) record can be called short at a run time of 44 minutes
@@LukasOfTheLight I just don't get what you're tryna say g
Hi Dronethony Bonetano, I'm Droning on Bones
I loved this album and I'm happy to know it's not just me being a fan boy of the drone.
>all decade
>LEAST FAV TRACK: n/a
>8/10
??????????????
There is 4 songs and Sunn hasn’t had a amazing run this decade.
This channel returns to where it began, once again in a spiraling loop of innovation
He went with the deathcore where’s Waldo look this vid
Thank you for the review, totally agree with your opinion.
I’d love to hear your opinion on the new Mayhem album too
I would absolutely LOVE to hear your review on VITRIOL. one of my favorite death metal bands rn and released their first record a few months ago and every listen is like a boxing match i’m trying to endure. i always find myself catching my breath after every song. would love to hear a hard, critical analysis on them or even a quick run through. i would be beyond happy! keep up the good work melon
I still pronounce their name as “Sun-Oh”
Steve O)))
It’s just “Sun?” Ohhhh...
Best collection of comments imaginable.
Then stop.
Anthony Fantwato says you should probably stop
The O))) is just lifted from the old amp manufacturer's logo
Do 'I Hate Mars Bars'.
@Daniel Theodore 'Trans Queen' Taylor Yes.
YES
@@Cyro23 Yes! Hell yeah
This joke isn't getting any funnier
Spam singles get cancer
Wdym you don't like "n/a", its a great song
I love your reviews! You get so detailed and rightfully descriptive with your analysis, which I greatly enjoy. I've been jamming to post-punk spoken word band Dry Cleaning and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Please review their EPs soon!
Waiting patiently for that new Mayhem review 🙏🏽
Had a chance to be on both of their Unsound performances - both 10y ago, and now - and to listen to this pieces. Cathartic expeirence. Couldn't be happier with the purchase
2019 year of the 8s, everybodys waiting on 2020 to do cool shit
Haha
Oh it did cool shit
Pyroclasts is wonderful, an awesome concept that confirms itself through the results. On par with Life Metal for me cause I saw Sunn O))) play live and most of it was modified versions of Life Metal tracks, and it was 2 hours of absolute battering heaven.
Hey Anthony, have a nice day!
And check out Valasse Eruva's album Ascending Phoenix!
Hey, Anthony! Would you review Hana's new album 'Hanadriel'? She also streamed the entire process of making the album on Twitch.
Wow finally the first 10 of this year!! Not wearing the yellow flannel got me good, Anthony...
IMO is the sunn album that most reminds me of the roots of drone doom (Earth's "2 Special Low Frequency")
Ty for the review. I'll listen to this album, but it's such a funny thing that the vinyl of Johnny Cash in the back made such an impression on me that I had to search for it on Spotify. Tremendous record. Highly recommend: Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
When an 8/10 album gets no least fave track but strong 9s get one.
I don't think that's how Anthony rates an album.
It only has 4 tracks that he probably think are all 8/10 tracks
least fave could still be a 9 if the others were all 10s. its not indicative of a number ranking just the relative scale of whats on offer
when your comment is so basic 30 other people wrote the same thing
I love this album. I enjoy a lot fo Sunn's work but this one is just really satisfying to listen to.
love this record also thought it was waaayy more interesting than life metal
Please, please do a Sunn O))) album tier list!
The ‘wind’ sound is just signal noise from a wah pedal through a distorted amp. That was my go to moody intro sound for my band.
“the new sun o))) album is giving me a headache” -antknee
More metal reviews dude!
album review request: Counterparts, and Agnostic Front's new albums please?
"Clean Hands Go Foul" the last Khanate album was improv as well, and Alan Dubin just wrote the vocals in afterwards...as hard as it is to pick a favorite Khanate album, the last one definitely stands out for it's "interesting writing"
Love that record! It does sound really alive like the music itself is falling apart which really brings the desperation and melancholy up a few notches, specially with Alan screaming like an insane person on top of it.
Folsom Prison Blues in the back 😍😍
Great EP and the cover looks amazing
hey melon, could you review the new blind guardian album twilight orchestra ?
I usually only listen to your hip-hop reviews or other bands I know, but I clicked on this one bc of the album art. Then I listened to one of the songs since you said it was good and..... where do I even begin?
elaborate
Yea it's awesome right!?!? Got this for my brother last christmas and it's one of his favorites.
@@torstenatterberg5788 I'm scared of the noises? But all jokes aside didn't even know stuff like this existed
@@Landau93Droid I love this stuff. I find it very meditative and hitting. Also it's just guitar with tons of reverb no noises
Begin at the first song, then proceed to listen to the second song
Hey you should check out the new Kai Whiston project. He's evolved his music style in an incredible way and I think the album has a ton of talking points
FOR "JESUS IS KING" SAKE MELON, GIVE US A GOD DAMN 10 ALREADY, YOU'RE TEARING US APART
LISA!!!!!!!!!!
Oh hi Marcelo
Anthony, are you participating in no shave November?
SOoooooo.. how about that new Mayhem album? Let's find out?
Wowie you should do a wallet tier list. I wonder what your favourite brand of wallet is.
Ascension reminded me of Sunn's own interpretation of John Coltrane's work of the same name.
Anthony, considering reviewing the new Mayhem album? You liked the last single 🙏
Metal beats to study and chill to
I really wanna see a review of the new Infant Annihilator album from you.
Fantano, you should check a now defunct band, amazing drone metal pioneers. Tarantula Hawk.
So very deserved. Incredible release.
Fav tracks: THE WHOLE ALBUM
also Anthony : Light 8
Would love a review of the Sunn O))) and Boris collab, Altar.
Unfortunately Fantano only reviews new albums (unless it's a classic review) because he needs to catch up with the music scene.
Nicole Bus - KAIROS, please! Such a good album
I mean, that's good and all, Anthony, but Tyler, the Creator never had a pet...😕
superdope review!!! Thanks!!
nice one dude
I need to buy this one
The facial expression he has when you click pause and then click 7 is a good representation of this album
where is my MCID album review Antonio?!
What are your thoughts on Mccafferty?
hey nutcase do a review of the new mayhem album Daemon
Hello Anthony! Did you listen to Salami Rose Joe Louis album "Zdenka 2080"? It may be worth reviewing or at least checking out. Have a nice one forever))))
this album makes my head happy . i love it. good score. agreed .
Video was posted 58 seconds ago, already has 6 dislikes. They really out to get you melon
This is one of the best Sunn albums ever

Damn Anthony, didn't expect the antisemitism in the title.
have u tried rogaine
What's the band logo in his t-shirt?
What band shirt is he wearing in this video?
Is it just me, or is the video slightly slowed down? Anthony's voice is noticeable deeper here, and even the sound effect at 0:13 is lower.
Anthony 'Intense Textures' Fantano
Opeth - In Cauda Venenum for next review please Opethney Fantano
Anthony's shirt baited me into thinking we were finally getting a non-8.
Review: MAVI: Let the Sun Talk
I agree to the review Melon but why is Johnny Cash in the background?
Hell yeah
Can anyone explain to me what A drone is? Not the flying robots, i mean the ones Fantano is referring to
the music genre
An extended non-melodic sound put into music to add texture and fill up the mix of a song. In this case it takes up most of the music, and some people enjoy that.
You should review the new Abigail Williams album
man i was gaming while listening to this in the background(really loud) and boi when i stopped my brain was fuckin melting
6:09 nice
Mayhem when
Check out Bong Live at Roadburn. I think you’ll like
Anthony be having a bruh moment on the thumbnail
Can you review JuiceBox by Mac Ayres
