GLASSJAW - MATERIAL CONTROL / 2017 / CENTURY MEDIA / POST-HARDCORE, ALTERNATIVE METAL
6/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Why is everyone repeating "after 15 years of silence", and no one mentions two amazing EP's that are the best and most creative GJ material ever
karmajawless even though I loved this new album, I wish they made a full length in the style of Coloring Book. Every fucking song on that EP kicks major ass
1000%, man if our Color Green and Coloring Book were released as 1 LP, it would've been Glassjaw's best album by far and one of the greatest punk albums of all time - they had the 5 songs from OCG and 6 for CB, both EPs were released WITHIN A MONTH of each other, it's always saddened me that they weren't combined into 1 LP - you can't even use the argument that because they'd been playing a few of the OCG songs live for 1-2 years, it wasn't new material but none aside from Lennon (released a year before) had been given studio recordings before the few-month lead up to the EP so on the studio/album level they were brand new at the time and New White Extremity, the studio recording of this album's opening track was released 2 years ago! I feel like we've lost an LP, and the two EPs exist as like a phantom album - 2009-2011 Glassjaw is the best Glassjaw have ever been - the songs, the Helvetica lyric covers, I just wished they'd released it as 1 album
Really dislike Daryl Palumbo's earlier stuff. But for some reason enjoyed the pop stuff he did with Head Automatica.
Agreed! Coloring Book was so amazing!
One of the coolest things about coloring book I think is the way they layer rhythms. Drums and guitar will be playing different measure lengths at parts of that album and it makes for a hypnotic vibe rarely heard in rock. They tried to do that again at parts of material control, but to me it sounded like second rate coloring book when they did:/. First album they ever did that was a little of a letdown for me. Still one of my all time favorite bands.
Glassjaw has existed since 1993. Darryl's vocal style is 100 percent his own.
Melonhead you keep criticizing the vocal style, but that vocal style is one of the top reasons the fans have stuck around so long. It clicks real strong for a lot of us.
Klisk exactly, Daryl Palumbo's vocals is one of the reasons why we fell in love
Klisk Darryl's vocals are so one of a kind. This shit is amazing. Even with no screaming. Funny thing is the bands that he mentioned his vocal style comes from, he's been around longer; and i think he probably influenced Chino and Cedric. Definitely for the longtime fans, though. Perfect ending for my year.
Yeah this album is at the very least an 8. Possibly 9. I'm not even mad at Melon, I get why he doesn't get it, I just wish he knew more about the band and their heritage before jumping into the review. I feel like he got several details, and maybe even timelines, wrong.
Klisk I have to agree, his vocals I can't take serious like how Anthony described it but songs like "Ape dos Mil" and "Trailer Park Jesus" sound good, especially the rhythm guitar on the chorus of Trailer Park Jesus
Who would have thought people in the modern age would still want to identify emotionally with the actual voice of another person being honest and raw and exposing their vulnerability? AUTO-TUNE FOR ALL!
Worship and Tribute is a masterpiece
Jaren Young Absolutely
Jaren Young absolutely

how can you shit on that album man... come on... if you have any respect for post hardcore at all, that is like THE album of the genre.
How Fantano has never heard/reviewed Our Color Green or Coloring Book is beyond me. Material Control is not a comeback album. It was their first LP since Worship and Tribute, but they never really stopped being active. The Coloring Book tour alone was enormous.
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence not a highlight?
Pssssht. C'mon, Melon.
i dunno, I'm a massive Worship and Tribute stan, but EYEWtKAS lyrically sounds like Daryl screaming at some girl just to get the time of day
@@Malkmusianful the riffs and drums are more interesting on EYEWtKAS
EYEWtKAS is their peak indeed
But... the misogyny.. 🤣
@@Malkmusianful He was young, angry, sick, and has since expressed regret about them.
Literally every album I love is a 5 or 6/10 from Fandango
He's a hipster. Thats how they roll.
Same
because he’s a musical dick
Wow. Normally I find it hard to disagree with you melon, but I think Daryl is one of the most entertaining vocalists in post hardcore. I'm stunned at how much you don't like him and how much you chalk up Glassjaw to their influences.
Those albums back in the 2000s were fucking legendary.
100% agree, I think Anthony needs to just sit and listen to them much more then he has. I really think he's missing a lot, I think Glassjaw themselves require a TON of listening time to really get what they're laying down. It's very hard to get through their extremely dense sound to really get what they're putting down. Literally took me years.
totally. When I first heard them in 2000, I was like wtf is wrong with this guy. And pretty quickly they turned into one of my all time favorite bands. I don't know how he can say they were compositionally lacking. At that time there was nothing anything like them.
s t u n n e d
Pretty unfortunate that you haven’t referenced their two EPs Our Color Green and Coloring Book, both of which delivered and show a lot of how they ended up at Material Control. I personally find Coloring Book to be one of the greatest releases of this decade. Their style and the production on that EP is phenomenal and severely underrated.
CaptainCarnavel yeah, he obviously hasn't even fu king heard those or seen any live footage. He probably heard ETYEWTKAS and W&T once back in 2002 and is basing this review entirely on that... do some fu king more research dude..
yeah I am angry 6 years later don't worry I got this merry christmas
Also Worship and Tribute is an objective 10/10 classic
Connor Mortifier I agree, melon is trippin
Coloring Book > Worship and Tribute...
WaT is still a 10/10 tho.
Seab The Doggo I might agree with you if Coloring Book was a full length
Coloring Book is my favorite Glassjaw project. But, the latter half of the EP has a tendency to drag.
Glassjaw has been my favorite band since I was 12 years old. For 17 years I’ve eaten up everything this outfit has put out.
However, I can freely admit that I was let down by this album.
And it’s all due to the drum work.
There are so many inspired designs and “neat” ideas on this project. There are so many places that this album pushes what made Glassjaw, glassjaw; But, goddamn - what an avoidable misstep.
Bringing Billy Rymer in to fill in tDurijah Lang’s massive shoes was a great idea. Having Billy track drum passages Beck wrote 10 years ago was not.
It’s a huge disappointment that while everything else functions so so smoothly on this album, one of the defining roles does not.
With all that being said, I still enjoy this album. The guitar work transcends, the lyrical content is lush, the bass is as mean as a middle school bully and I love the instrumentals.
6/10. Replace Billy with D and you’d have a fucking 10/10.
Thank you. That album stands the test of time
1:24 Anthony refuses to identify as a "Big Black" guy
LMFAOOO
his attempts at hiding his true identity will have been all but futile in the end
Okay Anthony, we get it. It wasn’t as good as Lil Pump but you can’t compare every artist to him. It’s not fair
Fantastic album in my opinion.. way, way better comeback album then those from Refused or At the Drive in
wes8723 Couldn't have said it better.
Interalia fucking sucked. GJ and Quicksand delivered such phenomenal returns.
Yeah that At the Drive in album was weak...... This Glassjaw album is sweeeeeetttttt!!!!
And much better than the latest Faith No More and Deftones albums.
@@nicolas_araya I would have to disagree on the Faith No More my guy. I though I feel Deftones is definitely slowly losing their quality and creativity
Although not an official album, glassjaw did release two EP's in 2010/2011 (Our Color Green/Coloring Book) so it hasn't been total silence for over 15 years. Coloring Book in particular is a fascinating EP with it's very latin inspired grooves throughout the album that I do hope GJ explores down the road. Regardless, it seems your acknowledgement of being indifferent to those first two records does seem to correlate to your feelings on this album. As a diehard for this band, it was just nice to see them pummeling again in classic fashion. Even if it is a familiar sound it is so authentically glassjaw: it's that raw, frantic and over the top nature (especially the vocals) that makes their music such an fun and thrilling emotional rollercoaster to sink into.
Alexander Mathew Coloring Book EP has to be the best production Glassjaw has made, at least to me...
Oh yea, totally agree. It's so groovy. Could sink into those bass tones for days, actually think The Coloring Book IS their best release to date (though only an EP, and feel I am the minority in this one).
I feel like Mr. Fantano is unaware of the coloring book ep, which I could forgive him for. Most ppl were. Though I did catch glassjaw on the tour they did with it, with two sets, then 2nd being for the entire coloring book ep. I remember everyone in the crowd being bored with the 2nd set, but I freaking loved it. And they handed out physical copies of the ep for free after the show
haha same ordeal for me! i saw them live during that tour in 2011 too and was grooving so hard to that stuff and everyone around me was just meh on it. It was weird.
One of the coolest things about coloring book I think is the way they layer rhythms. Drums and guitar will be playing different measure lengths at parts of that album and it makes for a hypnotic vibe rarely heard in rock. They tried to do that again at parts of material control, but to me it sounded like second rate coloring book when they did:/. First album they ever did that was a little of a letdown for me. Still one of my all time favorite bands.
Blood Brothers sounds like Jimmy Neutron throwing a temper tantrum, but I'm kind of into it.
"I found the band compositionally to be average at best" ok you obviously slept on Coloring book back in 2011 melon...
Yeah I would've never known about Coloring Book if Glassjaw hadn't been my favorite band at some point.
i love this album, yet i can understand Glassthony Jawtano giving this album a 6. This album is more for long time Glassjaw fans. Coloring Book EP was better tho...
Coloring Book was fucking DOPE!
Coloring Book should've been a full album. That was some of their best stuff.
If you don't like the GJ material you mentioned here, you should check out their EP Coloring Book. I consider that to be their best.
I agree. Definitely a lot more refined as a band in general on that EP. They even experiment a little.
Also the vocalist doesn't have a lot of obnoxious inflections compared to the older albums
DAMN. you were wrong about this AND Science Fiction smh
I see what you did there
@@nem6952 at least he likes converge lol
A decade of studio silence? They've released 3 EPs (14 songs total) in between 2002 and 2017.
I'd personally rate this much higher, it currently sits with The Menzingers, Converge and Brand New as one of my albums of the year.
I see we got a sputnikmusic user in the house
Sputnik af
Haha caught me red-handed.
Sputnik user here as well lol
Wow. He actually did a Glassjaw review. He told me personally once that he wasn't into them. Thanks for giving it a shot Melon.
SaintKines personally 🤔
jaidsalgado yeah while he was hitting him with his smoothie jars
trelosgatos ohhh fancy
jaidsalgado he knows how to treat a lady
I asked him why he hadnt reviewed either of the EPs they put out (Our Color Green and Coloring Book). He said he just doesn't like them so why review them just to trash them. Perfectly logical.
Palumbos vocal style is super unique and I love that he sings melodies on top of melodies, its so good. I still think its the heaviest band out there, first time I heard Worship and Tribute I was blown away by the heaviness of it, it crushed everything. They are way more chaotic in their style then Deftones, thats what makes them so good.
1:52 *ᴸᴵᴷᴱ ᴬ ᶜᴴᴱᴱˢᴱᶜᴬᴷᴱ ᴸᴬˢᴬᴳᴺᴬ*
Glassjaw just released their Coloring Book EP to Spotify and other streaming services. It came out in 2011 but it was super limited in its release, so this will be new to many. You should review it. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. To me, it’s still “new Glassjaw” even when compared to MC.
Been anticipating this release for a long time and really dug it! But to anyone who reads this, you might wanna check out the Coloring Book EP, by them, if you don't know it yet, it's absolute fire and not in an agressive way, more like heavy atmosphere type of thing. I've been craving something like that since it came out.
Blood Brothers is fucking great. One of the best live bands I've seen. Rare to see duo vocalists that pull off what they pulled off. They need to get together for one last album.
I envy you for seeing Blood Brothers. But no, please no more come back records.
Been watching your reviews lately man gotta say I love the content.
A suggestion for a future video:
I think for a person like yourself who really understands music and the message behind it, a recent album I would love to see you review is: The Used:The Canyon.
The Used are currently headlining with Glass Jaw at the moment, so I think it would be pretty great to see a review of their album.
Personally, I think its one of the best pieces of work The Used have ever created.
17 tracks, recorded completely on tape... so it's also a rare find now days!
I had never heard of glassjaw until they opened for deftones on the Saturday night wrist tour. Their stage show blew deftones away. I dont really sit and listen to their music anymore but watching them live is a whole other animal!
Can we get a Blood Brothers CLASSIC review?!
This is the Defones album that "Gore" should've been
Alex Roberts Glassjaw are the Deftones of post-hardcore after all...
I think Deftones tried with the wrong producer. It’s nice to get an old school Deftones feel out of Material Control. I definitely like this a lot more than Gore and KNY. Diamond Eyes was the last album I was able to get into.
Koi No Yokan is an amazing album tho, but i can see why some people can't get it at all, KNY is way too progressive. About Gore, damn they just tried too hard to do an extremely alternative album, just to end with a boring production...
I think Gore sounded good though. Maybe not as great as Koi No Yokan but not a bad record.
Maybe i'm getting too old but despite thinking Koi No Yokan sucked, Gore took it to a new level, that album is atrocious, the best Deftones have been since 2010 is Our Color Green and Coloring Book ;)
Crimes is so underrated, liked to see it here.
I hope you feel better Anthony!!! I love you!
MELON LIKES BLOOD BROTHERS??? FUCK YEAH!!!
BURN PIANO ISLAND BURN CLASSIC REVIEW ??
Seems like you've never heard coloring book and that's a shame. Easily their best material
mrstuprigge YES
I like their older stuff, but yeah, seeing as he liked this better he probably would like Coloring Book.
mrstuprigge coloring book is way better than this album
Our Color Green anyone?
Gjassjaw's Our Color Green EP >
"Everything You Ever Wanted" was the best. a stomping album.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LIMP BIZKIT'S ALBUM REVIEWS FOR CLASSICS WEEK
Daryl’s vocals have always been compared to chinos, it’s not like he’s changed that much, difference is Daryl can sing live lol. I loved the album, shira is my jam.
Hey great review. I’m curious though. You say your favorite song is shira and it has a strong deftones influence but I noticed you have never really been too high on deftones in your previous reviews. Do you like the older deftones albums that you have not reviewed then? I’m a deftones stan so I’ve always wondered. Thanks!
Brady Knapp he likes Saturday night wrist a lot
Brady Knapp I think he really only liked Saturday Night Wrist which is my favorite too
Disagree. It's a return to form.
That One Guy kinda of I agree with him on some of these points. Let's just hope they get back to making music again and maybe drop an album that's truly reinvigorating to the band.
If this isn't reinvigorating nothing ever will be. This is 30 minutes of brilliance, and I say that as someone who never like WaT.
Agreed. This is one of the best albums I've heard of the genre.
He said he wasn't even a fan of them to begin with so a 6 is pretty damn good . As a long time fan, it's definitely a great listen.
I did not want a redo of their old stuff, I love how they evolve, but I still was a little underwhelmed by material control. It has parts that are great for sure, but some of it does feel like filler, or a little lacking in direction at times. Most of their music has gotten better with time for me though. I hope this album will grow on me. Just saw them live for the 3rd time and it was fantastic. I trust them as cutting edge post hardcore creators.
Hey Anthony you should do a Post-Hardcore starter pack on your Fantano channel.
Which should include Worship & Tribute.
Post-hardcore starter pack: Fugazi, and only Fugazi. Yer welcome
I really like his reviews. I was surprised when he mentioned that he was a fan of Drive Like Jehu and yet, has not done a review about Hot Snakes´Jericho Sirens.
Worship and Tribute was and still is a 10/10 the only thing that comes close is Relationship of Command by ATDI
Would you please review "Popular Manipulations" by The Districts before the year ends? I would love to hear your thoughts on that album and especially their 2015 album "A Flourish and Spoil"
Anthony, I would personally LOVE to see you tackle the new Chris Thile album when it comes out in four days. I always expected to see Punch Brothers stuff on here but sadly, they’re missing, despite their very unique bluegrass sound. The teaser tracks are great, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when it comes out.
Sometimes I think I can tell what Anthony felt about the album, just from his one second grunt in the beginning of the videos
Good review. I'm a huge glassjaw fan. I feel this album was an extension from the two eps they dropped 4-5 year ago. This record did leave me pumped in some sections, just like you pointed out it was flat in some songs. Still enjoyed it and hope for more glassjaw.
Great review!
Baths / Big Thief / Friendship /Phoebe Rodgers thoughts before the year is out? Definitely some of the more emotional experiences i've had with albums this year
seems like a review someone who isn't a glassjaw fan would give... especially to the material control track which is a direct nod to all good junkies go to heaven, a track which is a fan favorite to most that waited years to hear mastered.
*BLOOD BROTHERS REVIEW NOW*
Big glassjaw fan. I really loved worship and tribute album and thier EPs are killers with bangers. When fantano says that compositionally they are decent. It's pretty cringy to me. I think Darryl and Justin writing is amazing. Darryl voice is way better than all these new singers out hear who sound like there balls haven't drop yet. And Justin writing on guitar is just flat out amazing. Songs like you think your fucking John Lenon is beefy and heavy; trailer park Jesus, ape dos mill, Midwestern stylings, and Jesus glue have really good melodies especially songs like trailer park Jesus and Midwestern stylings which are my top favorites Glassjaw songs.
How is stating that they are compositionally decent a "cringy" thing to say like wut (big glassjaw fan here)
I agree. Most original post hardcore band in the day
Best comment Tom Cruz 🔒🔒🔒
Although I have some disagreements on vocals (I enjoy them perhaps for the sole factor of them reminding me of Deftones) I definitely agree with everything else. Guitar work is as dizzying and dissonant as ever and overall I think the band did an awesome job bringing something new to the table. Rockin' review my dude.
The Body & Full of Hell review when??
Blood Brothers Classic Review please!
AlexUpatov PLEASE do this for Crimes! Everyone says BPIB is their best but Crimes is one of the greatest post punk records ever!
i second this
I completely forgot about them until this. MySpace days for sure, I need to revisit my teenage years.
Cyclops Parker BPIB is better than crimes imo
Honestly, the last three records are a tie on my all time faves, saw them once in Hamburg, best show of my life. Miss em like hell.
I'm only gonna remember this review because of "ᶜʰᵉᵉˢᵉᶜᵃᵏᵉ ᶫᵃˢᵃᵍᶰᵃ"
Where dat new Prurient review at?
he reviewed all swans records (from this generation)
Still all half the size of the new Prurient record and spaced out over some years
I can safely say this: you haven’t listened to this album enough.
orangedrone Right?! This is easily one of the best albums this year. It's not as good as W&T or Coloring Book (that's evolved into my second favorite record of their tbh). But it's super progressive and I love it. I can agree about the title track being unnecessary. He's absolutely wrong about Citizen tho.
he hasnt listened to any of them enough
Man if you could do reviews for Our Color Green/Coloring Book that'd be sick. Specifically I'm curious what your thoughts would be on a song like Black Nurse.
Thicc,
L I K E A C H E E S E C A K E L A S A G N A
I did not listen to Glassjaw at all growing up, but a few tracks on this album are pretty incredible. New White Extremity and Shira, which are not actually new, make me lose my shit a little. The soaring bass and choruses in these tracks have me head banging like a maniac while I'm sitting in traffic. Keep doing that, and I'll finally be a huge fan.
I do really like this album but I'm just hearing Colouring Book for the first time and it's such a masterpiece. I'm imagining a full album like it and my God would that be amazing
You made me so happy with the Blood Bros shout-out :')
The music video for Ape dos mil was my favourite music video when i was a teenager
This album is growing on me so much right now. I'd give it a 8/10 for the bass tones alone. Every instrument is so sharp though. The production was the hardest thing to get into and now that I'm past it this album is incredible.
everything Glassjaw do is fresh, honest, and always interesting, including this album and their first two, and the 2 EPs they released inbetween. There is no one like them, and they deserve way more accolades than they get. 10/10
Still waiting for the review on Jadakiss and Fab mixtape
thanks for shouting out the blood brothers melon!! they're one of my favorite bands ever
dayquil aaaaa
fighter of the nyquil aaaaa
You’re a master of karate
And friendship
for everyone
I fucking hate the chinese.
L O L!! yeah and i love daryls vocals, im a "HUUUUGE" glassjaw fan though and have been waiting like 15 years for this. i do hear deftones and mars volta styles in this album though
Holy shit watching fantano jam to blood brothers made me so happy!
Shoulda been a point higher imo, but well said. It's weird. Sometimes when I listen to citizen, the vocals don't bother me, but then other times they really bother me. Can't explain it
James Dunham citizen is amazing though
OH SHIT I JUST THOUGHT
SWANS - WORST TO BEST
MAKE IT HAPPEN MY MELON
Anyone like Golgotha? Felt like that was a B A N G E R
my favorite on the album. kinda disappointed he didn't mention it
You lost me with your disapproval of Glassjaws first two albums but you roped me back in with that Blood Brothers bit, good volley lad!
they had two records between. our color green and coloring book. they were touring with Deftones way back in the day too so influence has been there.
That’s cool you reviewed this one! Been interested in this band since WAT. I agree it’s pretty good. Not a fan of the mix of the record. I do love Darryl’s vocals on Citizen though! They create a bit of tension which I enjoy.
Krallice review of both or either of the two new albums?
Guess what...
It just sounds like Glassjaw that could've come out between W&T and the incredible 2011 Coloring Book ep... which at 27:55 basically qualifies as a full length.
You are wrong
thanks for reveiwing this!
Not a 6, melon.
Can you please review U2's new album? I don't think you've reviewed anything they've done yet and would like to see it, thanks!
Noice review there Antwon Fantwon, I need to give Glassjaw in general some more listens. I'm admittedly a big fan of the Deftones so I feel like they would be right up my alley. On the off chance you see this, I've been wondering, are you possibly still going to review the new Electric Wizard album? I've seen you've kept up to date with reviews of their previous couple albums, so I wondered if you'd be giving your opinion on the latest one as well. Personally I wasn't in to it as much and it really seems like a step backwards for them, but I'd like to see what you thought of it and hear your comments. Keep pumping out those reviews ya magical melon!
I respect your opinion on this one melon. Although I do love WAT, I gotta say there best work was the 2011 ep our colour green. And this just kinda carried on from that.
I'm surprised he reviewed it tbh.
waited so long for this, the album, not your review, you were very prompt
As others have mentioned, Anthony "Mu Empire" Fantano, The Coloring Book EP is easily their best stuff and up there for me in the top records for post hardcore and adjacent genres. Give it a shot!
Loved this record freaked out when it dropped
I found out about it dropping when I saw this video in my youtube feed lol. I
You don't really rate WORSHIP AND TRIBUTE? Come on now.
Opinions on Coloring Book and Our Singles? Thought it was far better than their first two albums.
Eduardo Hernandez Lopez I loved glassjaw EPs the color book had many of my favorite glassjaw songs.
I don't love them more than W&T but Coloring Book is the second best thing they've ever made.
I was fan after catching glassjaw with Deftones live. Really into the music, lyrics. There's been new recordings previous to this post worship and tribute but not released full length albums... E.P.s
I was pleasantly surprised and thrust back to my late teen and early twenties but with fresh new songs, just like in 2013 with the formation and release of
RTJ 👊🤛... I tell people alot about the music that I enjoy and seems to be that state I'm listening to same thing I did back in 1996 - 2002 and the good ones then have only been getting better.
I loved the dragged out vocals. The contrast between the lurching riffs and dragged out vocal notes is great. I rmemeber hearing the chorus from pink roses on WAT and it blowing my 20 year old mind
The original pink roses is way better than the one on W&T
1:53 Isn't that Remington's voice from Nyx Fears?
So I think to myself; I wonder if Fantano by some slim chance has reviewed the new glassjaw? Open youtube app and hit alerts and this is at the top....spooky
Citizen is amazing!
Dick Head There's a knife in my lover
Honestly it had a very Coloring Book vibe. The past 2 EPs they put out really set the stage for a new sound for them after their full lengths and I think the album was a pretty good mix of both sounds. Overall some of their best work, tho I am very partial to the El Mark EP and it's sorta hard to live up to that for me.
Did he ever review Bell Witch?
Idc about the fact you don't love Glassjaw, but I do love the fact you have reviewed one of their albums. This review made my day as a huge Glassjaw fan.
Sweet melon,
Plz review the new Cleric album thanks
I'm just glad you reviewed this album. I personally love Glassjaw and, more so, Glasscloud, which Travis and Chad were formerly a part of. So. YEAH!!!
