Malibu is one of my favorite albums of all time, the amount of emotion and the compositions Anderson put out is simply outstanding, you can hear a full spectrum of emotion through Anderson's voice, simply amazing
I listened to House of Balloons back in the day before it really blew up and I thought it was really cool but I never would’ve guessed (based off that weird dark mixtape) that Abel would go on to become one of the biggest artists of the century so far lol. Really cool to see how his career has progressed!
Same here. Never imagined him becoming one of the biggest artist in the world. But I did became an instant fan of his music. I felt it was something so new and fresh. All he needed was people to listen to him.
genuinely me too, i was wondering what else he changed his mind on in light of the swimming total 180. wished the ronnie radke album got the 10 it deserves
Someone needs to produce a cover album of all the artists Melon has imitated over the years. Been teasing us with that melodramatic rock/country voice for too long now 🤧
Haha this just reminded me when I saw them live and bumped into Sean at the skatepark before the show. Got the worst photo of my life with him, looking super awkward and nervous. Constantly wish I could re-do that whole interaction, all these years later.
@@NeutralMjolkHotel I feel you, I got a pic with Jamie Stewart on the Knife Man tour and I wish my interaction with him wasn’t so awkward, you live and you learn 😔
I never got to see them live, as all of their shows were 21+ and I never turned 21 until the pandemic. Makes me sad but I hope they tour again. I'd do anything to see them live.
I've always said that great albums are those that sound good during the time they released and if they hold up years later. Both Malibu and Control still feel just as good.
I'm the opposite. I love the band but over time I've gravitated more towards their later records. I feel like the production on Contra and MVOTC is just more interesting. I still like the debut, but probably my least favorite VW album.
@@johnnewton5050 hard agree, the first one is what got me into them, and it has some of there most classic songs. I’ve definitely gravitated more towards the other 3 albums though over time.
Appreciated the reevaluation of Vampire Weekend's self titled debut. I may not have caught wind of them on their first 2 releases but Modern Vampires made me fell in love with the band and listened to their past records and fell in love even more.
The Grammys clearly have more credibility than him, they had the balls and foresight to give this masterpiece from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis RAOTY over GKMC.
Mac DeMarco is an incredible artist that gets unnecessary shit because so many people have tried to replicate his sound and aesthetic since then. People don’t realize he was the original and is completely authentic
Still holding out hope on justice for Carrie & Lowell. Nearing seven years later, it's unsurprisingly held up immaculately well as one of Sufjan's most profoundly beautiful artistic statements, and it really is only a matter of time before Fantano sees the light.
Knife man no doubt one of the most important albums ive been introduced to through needledrop. Hate rain on me so emotional, so down to home. Beautiful, heart wrenching, and funny all at once.
Abandon All Life is nasty as hell in the best way. The latter half of "Suum Cuique" still holds the record for the hardest stank face I've ever given during a breakdown lmao
Happy to see the vibe of Mac DeMarco's music has grown on you melon. His records aren't alwyas full of substance, but they have a nice, enjoyable, and laid back vibe to them.
I love seeing videos like this. Changing opinions is a huge part of music. I can't think of a lot of recent albums that i changed opinion drastically on but i HATED Astral Weeks the first time i heard it and now it's one of my favorites ever. I also grew to love Bowie and Prince more than on first listen, and a lot of classic rap albums like 36 Chambers grew on me too.
I never listened to AJJ before and something about your enthusiasm and description of knifeman got me interested. LOVING this album , and now I’m going down the rabbit hole of their discography 👍
I think that when Vampire Weekend first came out, there wasn't as much appreciation for just how unique their mixture of sounds and lyrics truly were. Sure, they took a bunch of influence from Paul Simon to the point that some people (usually the snobbier side of the baby boomer generation) still think that they're ripoffs to this day, but I do believe that they genuinely made their own iconic take on those sounds by mixing them with stories about the Ivy League elite and their social tendencies. When you take all of that into account, you make one of my favorite groups coming from my high school years.
Vampire Weekend's self titled is one of my favourite records. Glad you've come around to it, and now think it's one of the greatest albums of all time.
I wish you did these videos more often, I loved part 1 and 2 and it's been years since you dropped another one of these kinds of videos !! Love hearing your newest perspectives and how they've grown or have not grown on you :)
Sometimes it happens that we listen to a record and at first we are not convinced, perhaps the context of our life does not make us understand what the record is like, but seen from another perspective then we find good things. I spent with Play and Everything Is Wrong by MOBY, in their day they seemed "boring" and without any particular purpose, I was 18 years old, I listened to them again when I was about 33 years old and I think I could appreciate them better than in their day .
When I first heard 808 State's _Don Solaris_ back in like 2012, 2013, I thought it was... Alright. It was fine. Kinda weird. I liked _90_ way more. That's what I listened to, especially since Pacific 202 was my introduction to their work (shoutouts to an0nymooose) Over the years, though, it's not just grown on me a little, it's become my favorite album of all time, and with it 808 State became my favorite project of all time. Bird, in particular, has been in at least the top 25 most listened tracks on my Spotify Wrapped literally every single year it's existed, and I've hovered around the top .05% of listeners for 808 state writ large since. It's so endlessly positive. Warm and summery, in a way that was really rare in its contemporaries (Soundlab's _Dots and Loops_ and Lemon Jelly's _Lost Horizons_ are the only albums that I can think of with similar vibes). Helped get me through a lot of hard times, and really cemented my love for electronic music more than any other artist. All of this is to say that I *reeeeally* want Anthony to do a classics review for Don Solaris. It's turning 30 soon damnit!!
We need the “Current Score vs Old Score” ticker at the bottom like when you watch an old episode of Antiques Roadshow and they give you an update on the current value of an appraised item
I have only recently discovered Knife Man and all I can say is that anyone who has ever liked any Punk song should listen to it right now. Thank you for shouting it out you beautiful bald man
Really happy to see you throw Malibu in here. That was hands down my favorite and most listened to album from 2016. I remember thinking the album as well as everyone who contributed to it didn't get the love/respect/appreciation they all deserved. Luckily enough, .Paak is SO talented and hard working that he just continued putting out great music moving forward and is where he's at now.
CTRL grew on me way more than I ever could have expected over the last couple years. I listened to it in 2020 as one of my first R&B albums and thought it was fine, but over time it's become a near-perfect album for me.
Knife Man is such a stellar album. Probably one of my favorite folk punk albums of all time, hell just punk albums in general. The title "Micheal Jordan of Drunk Driving" still makes me laugh.
Your Vampire Weekend review was the first one I ever saw way back in 2009 when you still had samples of the music throughout the video before they all get removed from your channel. It was what got me watching your videos (even if I disagreed). Pleasantly surprised to see it here!
I would say the reason for the short tracks on Today I wrote Nothing is to emulate the namesake of the album, Daniil Kharms’ short story collection “Today I Wrote Nothing”. Like the album it’s a collection of sometimes comically short pieces that are abstract and diverse in tone. I read woods say as much in an interview. Always loved how much he interacts with literature in his music. 10:03
House of Balloons was one that didn't grab me at first either but I def enjoy it's atmosphere now AJJ I actually just listened to this past year for the first time and Knifeman is phenomenal Vampire Weekend got me right out the gate with that album. I loved the eclectic sounds mixed with pop and rock, and considering I was like 15 years old it's pretty much responsible for opening the floodgates for my love of music and all things weird
Malibu is one of my top 10 favourite albums ever. Even tho there are some tracks on the back end I don’t love as much, there’s wayyyy too much good content here to rule out
As not only a Mac Miller fan, but him being my favorite artist ever, I can say I fully appreciate the changing of Swimming’s score (as 3 was criminally low, although I know this is your own enjoyability). Now I know this comes with the highest biased that biased can have (since I revealed he’s my favorite) but I think you should also give some of his other work a second look. Divine feminine was a masterpiece for me personally. It’s also when I FULLY realized, that no matter what music he made, I just loved his style. Devine Feminine also dropped around the time I was JUST learning who Anderson Paak was, and being at a time where I was head over heels in love with my wife, this whole era for RnB shaped an entire segment of my life.
