Have you listened to the kind of shit that makes his "good" lists? Sometimes it's literally noise. It should probably be a sign of a good song if you make it to the bad list. It means everyone loved it, which irritates him.
Oh my precious Anthony, where do I even start? You... you are my everything. You have filled the dark void in my heart with your precious, charming light.
I can’t believe this guy logged into my Minecraft server. Dude thank you so much it was a blast playing with you! Anthony is soooo much nicer in real life omg I love this guy
I actually think boy bye, this is the sound that works for her. I haven’t really been able to listen to a Chloe solo release and think it truly works for her until this. I think pop girlie Chloe is a good way to go.
No surprise Fantano didn't think highly of Thursday's comeback single (an actual banger) when he didn't even think that highly of MCR's banger comeback single. NJ hardcore is back.
i agree w him personally, i think that about all sabrina carpenter's stuff. stiff, bland, very little personality or unique style ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ looking forward to this one falling off the charts so i dont have to hear it everywhere
Hi Anthony, while i was very aware how much you love Phil Elverum/ The Microphones/ Mt Eerie…. for some reason i just now realized the song island record behind your melon head, that record is by far my favorite out of any of his projects. i do not think it is the best by any means but it was just the first one i ever heard from him and i fell in love with him since, if you’ve never heard any of phil’s work i HIGHLY recommend it!
I'm glad I wasn't alone in my disappointment of Dua Lipa's Illusion. Houdini is still my favorite single from Radical Optimism's album cycle, but Training Season was another banger. When Illusion played on Tidal (I didn't even look at my phone screen to see the song title), I was like, "Have I heard this Dua Lipa song before?" which is already not a good sign. I would say Illusion is easily weaker than Dance the Night and reminds me of material on Dua Lipa more than I am reminded of material off of Future Nostalgia. Oh, well-- each single or promo track from an album cycle can't be winners.
hard disagree on the Dua lipa song being the weakest. This to me is instantly more gripping and groovy than both Houdini and especially training season. In my opinion her best track since physical.
@@iangarcia1585 i like houdini a lot, but it just doesn’t have the same intensity that illusion has. personally like her music the best when it sounds confident, overly euphoric and still somewhat hypnotic. houdini is more subtle and just doesn’t feel like a “smash hit”.
Oh wow, Flanafi gets a shoutout? I’ve been absolutely loving his past few albums. It’s the sort of thing I don’t think Fantano usually likes, kind of Alex G but a bit more modern and dynamic. Happy he’s getting out there.
i don't think he has a bias against sabrina, he just didn't like the song and that's alright. also, if dua had made the song, it would be a different song
Yo pls review English Teacher's debut, This Could Be Texas. Another insanely talented band from the UK, the amount of bands coming out of the windmill scene rn is actually insane
Where's midas by wunderhorse. Feel like this band could be this year's 'Geese' (debut album came out and got slept on, fanbase builds around it amongst people who find it, second album expands on the first and gets deserved critical attention and acclaim)
that drake diss was about as good as possible, not sure where he can go from there but it's impressive that he was able to come through with what he did
Bro i agree Ringo has "an Oasis type track" its like everything that Ringo did was heavily influenced by Oasis like he copied his entire sound off of them ever since the Beatles started in the nineties
Bruh even Melon fell victim to the Drake glazing. Dude raps the same "I have the most money" bars on every song so what did he say now that was so biting this time? That Kendrick is short? Come on man. Ross had more substance and a record time response but everybody is just capping because the "White Boy" metaphor flew over their heads.
Rick Ross’ biggest song of all time is a Drake song that he’s featured on, which isn’t even one of Drake’s top 30 biggest songs. Edit: Kanye fans are so easily offended I don’t even need to mention his name for them to get angry on his behalf 😂
@@JustARapAndAnimeFan on spotify, money in the grave is unfortunately at 954m streams while diand is at like 438m. also, i'm pretty sure money in the grave is top 30 in terms of streaming, so...
who cares about biggest songs, even tho ross can be corny and a meme hes not close to that compared to drake and every ross songs sounds better then everything drake released since 2018
I know their music isn't recent but I wanted to ask if you could review any albums or EPs from the band "ROAR". I personally think their music is really underrated and even though they've got some really popular songs, most of their music is HEAVILY underrated and I'd suggest listening to either EPs or one of their albums.
Kendrick diss was a jab but Ross and Drake’s are straight disses. I don’t like Drake’s one but lyrics are straight disses and I give him his props for that. Would Kendrick a straight diss track??? We have to wait and see.
Chlöe is an artist who refuses to stick to one sound, that's why I'm a fan of hers. Music has become so boring and basic because people keep getting bullied to stick to one sound. I hope Chlöe continues to create whatever she loves and never puts herself into a box. STREAM BOY BYE AND FYS BE CHLÖE! ALSO GET READY FOR "TROUBLE IN PARADISE"
I just wish Meghan Trainor would go back to her Treat Myself era of sound. It might not have been perfect (except for wave and let you be right) but they were fun catchy bops that werent just doo-wap inspired track #78
Very happy that Fantano decided to finally review the Drake leak. That was surely one of the best music videos of the year so far!
Surprised he had time to review it, it is a long leak indeed!
The leak was a bit too big for me! But glad you loved the huge video!
It was a huge deal for me! I’m glad he touched on it in this video.
I’m actually revolted, crazy how fantano actually reviewed the drake leak🤦(🍆)
I’m happy he even had time to review it
Melon, you're looking like a Certified Lover Boy today
Boy lover*
Imagine writing this and then seeing it years later like ‘why did I think this was fire’
No diddy
The Drake stans are really out in full force. They really ate huh.

Damn I loved espresso, thought it would at least be in the meh section
I haven’t heard this man say one nice thing about Omar Apollo, ever.
he hates him fr
Drake being in best tracks is something i never thought i would love to see
@daretoliveee tbf literally everyone is
Well there's good bars on a Drake song it's best not to ignore history @daretoliveee
I can’t believe this guy logged into my Minecraft server. Dude thank you so much it was a blast playing with you! Anthony is soooo much nicer in real life omg I love this guy
The way Tinashe is simultaneously in the best tracks of the week and the mid tracks
I was so confused scrubbing thru best tracks looking for his reaction and not finding it lol. Ya I wonder on which placement was the flub.
You’re insane Espresso is so good
flop

Ive literally been checking to see melons take on this track. DROP THE DETAILED REVIEW FFS
Don't let Fantano's takes on these tracks distract you from the fact that the latest Bluey episode "The Sign" is absolutely perfect
I actually think boy bye, this is the sound that works for her. I haven’t really been able to listen to a Chloe solo release and think it truly works for her until this. I think pop girlie Chloe is a good way to go.
a Jimmy Fallon and Meghan Trainor song sounds like the worst thing ever
Until the Jimmy Fallon and Jojo Siwa song gets released
I for sure thought he was gonna say the Lemon Twig's single was too derivative but glad he loved it
Please DONT USE A TOOTHPICK! We don’t want you to choke! it’s dangerous

that Dua Lipa song was a bop.
salami rose joe louis is really great, unique music!! thank you so much for turning me on to it
I can’t express the amount of times I listen to Espresso every day. The creativity Sabrina has is insane.
LOL
It's a fun song i agree.
I'm terribly sorry, but creativity out of all nouns being used to describe this track made me laugh so hard
@@mbbs6192good for u?
It's catchy; I'll give it that. Definitely a guilty pressure, but I wouldn't say lyrically it's that good.
i zone out for 5 seconds and anthony is already breaking down crying
i was not expecting that espresso stray lmao
I knew Fantano would feel some type of way about Rick Ross using white boy as an insult 😂
Espresso being in the worst is crazy ngl
Meh, sure. But not bad imo
ong we riding at dawn
It’s very meh, but def not terrible. The vocals are definitely really stiff though.
It's a bop
it's boring :"
Really upset that you didn't review the new Bladee Ecco and Thaiboy track 😪
peak dg
Espresso was more enjoyable than the Dua Lipa song at the very least IMO
That new song by Willow is genuinely amazing.
espresso is great sorry
Love that Willow’s versatility is paying off! Whatever she puts out, I’m intrigued
Love Camera Obscura so much, so glad they’re back ❤️🌈
espresso rocks man, ur wrong
Rick Ross landing in worst, not even mid is wild. "White Boy" a slur over here 😅 noted
I liked illusion but I do agree it is the weakest of the singles so far. Houdini remains my favorite
Somehow pleased that SC is finally on the Fantano radar
I'm glad I wasn't alone in my disappointment of Dua Lipa's Illusion. Houdini is still my favorite single from Radical Optimism's album cycle, but Training Season was another banger.

I've wanted a Pitchfork review score shirt for so fucking long. Especially a SATURATION 6.5 one like the BH boys were rocking at the time it came out
Could you please do a more in depth review of the Baby Rose EP. I think it’s the most underrated thing that’s come out this week
Lemon Twigs shaping up to be a 10/10 for me
hard disagree on the Dua lipa song being the weakest. This to me is instantly more gripping and groovy than both Houdini and especially training season. In my opinion her best track since physical.
Honestly, Illusion is great but it just sounds like every modern house/EDM song
Nah, Houdini is better
@@iangarcia1585 i like houdini a lot, but it just doesn’t have the same intensity that illusion has. personally like her music the best when it sounds confident, overly euphoric and still somewhat hypnotic. houdini is more subtle and just doesn’t feel like a “smash hit”.
@@ANTIV15T intensity? Training Season was way ahead of its time imo
I'm a Dua fan but Illusion is strictly mid
I'm so happy to see Franek Warzywa & Młody Budda in Best Tracks!
Idk if I'm weird but i enjoyed the Ringo song, he sounds amazing for someone in their mid 80s
I see you're saving the Garfield track for your best songs of the year list at the end of the year
Oh wow, Flanafi gets a shoutout? I’ve been absolutely loving his past few albums. It’s the sort of thing I don’t think Fantano usually likes, kind of Alex G but a bit more modern and dynamic. Happy he’s getting out there.
The bias is the best it has ever been 👏🎆
where's tldr
Espresso (and Illusion in meh) in worst is crazy. If Dua made the same song, you’d love it. We ride at dawn.
i don't think he has a bias against sabrina, he just didn't like the song and that's alright. also, if dua had made the song, it would be a different song
No one has ever seen Anthony Fantano and LAZER DIM 700 in the same room at the same time
Drake being in best I love it surprisingly
Yo pls review English Teacher's debut, This Could Be Texas. Another insanely talented band from the UK, the amount of bands coming out of the windmill scene rn is actually insane
When Jimmy Fallon drops, you when it's a guaranteed bop.
If it was Soundtrack song on Vegan Pop Tarts you would give it best of the week
new Drain Gang song is out bro
The Rick Ross racism is where he lost me.
Where's midas by wunderhorse. Feel like this band could be this year's 'Geese' (debut album came out and got slept on, fanbase builds around it amongst people who find it, second album expands on the first and gets deserved critical attention and acclaim)
Correction needs to be made..:
Willow’s last single is NOT called Empathogen, it’s called Symptom of Life. The new ALBUM is called Empathogen.
Amber Mark - Comin’ Around Again
Great song!
You don't need to explain the premise of these videos. It's the title.
Cant wait for the los pollos chat
I see Anthony learned the word - 'coded' recently
Hell yesss, camera obscura album is gonna be my fav this year
