Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
could you please place a warning before you talk negatively about icedancer? i find it very distressing and disturbing. Thank you
Triggered me hard
yeah wtf that was completely unnecessary
that actually made me shake and cry how could anyone say something like that about icedancer bro every track’s a hit not even kidding
yeah wtf

UPD: Anthony put Flatline into his favorite tracks in the description, the world is finally at peace, thank you Wantano
FRL THAT SONG IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC
Just an incredible and beautiful song man
best song on cv for real

No flatline mention = review invalid
reminds me of when he reviewed stranger and didnt mention agony
you really are never getting out of the drain dungeon until you repent melon
10,000 years
"I could detour into a rant about the vocals and pitchy autotune on records like Icedancer" Melon really just wants to piss off drainers. Little does he know loss and gain are the same 🥶🥶🥶

@@ranjeetkhoutinay4856 100% agreed, i think anthony missed the mark on this review
Melon's drain meter went down 😔
surprised you didn't mention f1lthy at all who handled production for the majority of the album
He didn't hear the producer tags 😭
Never credits whitearmor either
He literally assembled the drainer producer avengers for cold visions(even mechatok got a credit, literally only gud was absent for this one )
because he has worked with him before its nothing new
@@DS-xg7hk I would even count skrillex as a honoary drainer producer with the few times hes worked with bladee.
see the difference between drainers and anthony is that he gets the HAPPY meal at McDonald's while we get the sad meal. he'll never understand it
I WISH you went into that detour hating on icedancer, would've gone in the hall of fame for your worst takes
Could've listened to anthony read bladee lyrics in an incredulous voice for like 5 hours
I bought 1000 smurfs on ebay, I was on shrooms, needless to say
I love bladee and one of the reasons is his bars are hilarious. Hearing Fantano read them makes them even funnier

How is a 1 hour album bloated Anthony
Somebody doesn’t know what the word bloated means

He reviewed last year's King Gizzard album.

Your visions too cold on this one Anthony
When fantano pulls out the "bloated" word, you know you're in for a treat of vocabulary.
@urkoma but every song is good
@@tekno47in ur opinion tho
@urkoma 30 years of life = 30 songs
@urkoma 30 tracks but it’s only 1 hour long. I think what put me off was how boring and repetitive all the f1lthy beats feel one after another, some of them don’t suit bladee or fit well imo.
@@tomaustinmedia it switches up tho, first third is rage beats then its lusi chill then a mix of styles and then closers
I remember the day I got the invitation to a BBQ in my neighborhood. I was nervous to go but eventually synched myself up enough to walk down the block to join, I hadn't been in a large social gathering in a while, it was 2022 and we were really cautious of the pandemic and all. But I figured just going to a small backyard BBQ would be fine. But once I arrived something felt amiss, I could tell the energy was weird like everyone was on one radio frequency that I couldn't tune into. Then, suddenly, three young Swedish boys came out and started playing the most beautiful music I had ever heard, and then I drained, we all drained. Everyone in that backyard started to drain, and I will never forget my time at the Drainer BBQ.
I cried, this is the best comment 😭🙏
I hope this is true brother because it will be such a pitty for a beautiful moment like this to be fake
As a hardcore bladee fan since the beginning this is a contender for best Bladee album for me. It’s the Bottomless Pit of bladee albums, has all his recent styles but also has its own style.
L its a 10
Literally no it isn't.

@@bjorkcity Nobody needs to ask. This is the comment section of a UA-cam video, ding dong.
@@Noooiiiissseee im just meming but imo its at least an 8, his best album in a while and idk how fantano always hates this style of bladee music
this is my mbdtf
im glad you actually talked a bit about the lyrics cus i think bladee’s lyrical style or the ”bladeeisms” as you called it is one of the most important aspect of why ppl enjoy his music and it's definitely influential on artists like sematary/haunted mound and a lot of underground rappers. and i also think crafting your own universe of references and ideas really makes ppl obsess way more about your art
Drain dungeon. Now.
Wake up Anthony!
Cold Visions
Cold
this is the best bladee album since icedancer to me. it really pulls a lot together in a lot of ways.
Yes
Bro there's NO shot you gave this a 6. This is almost as egregious as the Redlight Moment.
this is as egregious if not more than the redlight review
from an old fan perspective i thought we were never gonna get another album like this and im beyond ecstatic, im glad that old and new fans are both loving it and part of me is kinda relieved that fantano didnt rate it super high lmao. all my favorite projects have low ratings
If this album were named Too Cold, A Vision you would given it a 10
Can I still wear my Balenci ?
if this was Hood Coldest VIsions you'd give it an 8
If it was called To Cold a Vision it would’ve been a 10
Excited for the St. Vincent review
Me when the visions are cold
DOA in worst songs is heresy your drainer status has officially been revoked Anthony
literally every other song is better and i loved every song on the tape
I mean, if you compare it to Trendy it's definitely the worst song on the album, Thaiboy was funny tho
it is unfortunately the worst song, and doesn't fit in the album, but understandable why its in the tracklist. Still a good song. Album is a perfect 10/10 without DOA
doa is too empty and a waste of a skrillex placement, and i’m saying this as someone who thinks this is a 10/10 bladee album😊
D O A
I knew one day you would realize their genius and become a drainer.
Can we get an ice dancer review

God I’d love to see that and see how badly it pisses us off when he gives it a 4😂
@@calvindew5298 I feel like Anthony would give red light a higher score if he reviewed it in 2024
@@chriskrahn yeah I suppose, but he still don’t like it unfortunately 😂 which is unfortunate
@@calvindew5298 he gave it a 2 on twitter when iit came out 😭😭
It’s 30 songs for him turning 30, cmon everyone knows that and why bladee is the 🐐
13 favorite tracks and 6/10 seems crazy
Holy crap! The first ever 11 out of 10! I thought it was a meme until now!
It’s an 8, nothin but bangers
Melon, you’re off base with this album review, just like you were with Salem's 'King Night' in 2010. I witnessed that firsthand, and it’s the same story here.
couldn’t even drain to this, I exploded immediately! Clean up on aisle MY PANTS.
😐
Hearing “WAKE UP F1LTHY” on a bladee album was possibly the most euphoric moment of my life
Jk I’m a fake fan I didn’t listen to the working on dying album. Will fix that mistake immediately.

I understand the "bloat" complaint, but I loved the mixtape vibe. It's pretty nostalgic at this point.
Fantano completely missed the point of this album. He made a 30-song album to highlight that he just turned 30. This is the theme of the album, to reflect on his life now that he is 30, and this is why he went back to his old style. He also hints that this is his last project in this style in the album. It’s like a farewell to an era. At least, this is how I see it.
Beautifully said
this album makes me wanna go to McDonald's
Get the sad meal
if this was called Kids See Cold Visions you would've gave it a 10
don't worry guys the editors messed up and the review is just in black and white
This is emo sadboys' mbdtf
this album is a masterpiece. your literally a jpeg mafia fan bro your opinions dont matter…. didnt u also give sematary an 8 or something LMAO
Yet you're still mad
@@pico3932 its whatever im just passionate about this album bcus its beautiful
keep going lil bro, bladee is almost there!!
Anthony, thank you so much for giving bladee the credit he deserves and agreeing this is the best album of 2024 without saying it. My hands are bread.
Oh fuck he actually did it
i'm a big drainer and the long tracklist definitely made it harder for any particular tracks to stand out as instant classic hits for me. might change my mind on second or third listen. personally i'd rather have longer songs with a shorter tracklist if bladee's gonna make an hour long album
Bald visions. This was such a bald review
Bladee is like the Taylor swift of Sweden
Taylor Svift 😂
I've realized he's actually a pretty thought provoking foil to her in terms of aesthetics + themes in light of all the joking comparisons recently
A guy’s Lana Del Rey
D.O.A. least favorite? You're cooked buddy
2:28 don’t forget BLACK KRAY ‼️‼️ Fantanos gotta give him his flowers he influenced this whole generation so much
Can you please review the Dominic fike 14 minutes I know it’s short but I’m curious on your thoughts
nah, this is at least a 7
packed tracklist or not, this shit is gas
d.o.a is literally top 5 on the album , absolutely trippin
I mean it's a pretty flat remix of Trendy
Fr this and crest were my fav of his albums
Wrong.
Eric Andre has sent The Fridgekeeper to freeze Anthony!
I see your perspective but like you say, I’m a huge Bladee fan, and this album was an absolute blessing. It’s rare to get such universal praise from the Drain and Sad Boys fanbase, and I’ve seen nothing but love for it online.
As usual, everyone on the outside looking in thinks either not as highly of it like Anthony or outright thinks it’s garbage. And as usual, no fan of Bladee/DG and SB should care.
will u be reiviewing new st vincent
If this album was titled “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Hypothermia”, I’d write a comment that’s actually original and funny.
FINALLY
edit: A 6!?
This album is blades best for a while im absolutly in love with it.
my favourite bladee album
It's Friday and stil no St. Vincent review?
man i would've loved to hear some more thoughts on the tracks u actually did like, felt like u spent most of this review talking about the length of the project or the brevity of the songs themselves and like i get it. but i think vocally and stylistically he tried some interesting stuff here that added something new to his catalogue, eg tracks like I Dont Wanna Hang Out, Flexing & Finessing, Red Cross & River Flows In You.
I also think there's something to say about the James Ferraro production credits and the way they worked on the transitions for this mixtape, it really flows in a cool way similar to Icedancer and makes the sonic similarity or brevity of some tracks still work well within the album context. And I know u dont fw Icedancer or any of his early stuff, but "pitchy autotune" etc is part of what makes the projects good. The "flaws" are all part of the appeal. But I suppose u know that by now
Literally I play one track of this album and it flows so well that I end up staying til halfway or even til the end if I started on the second half
im draining so hard right now
CANT END ON A LOSS not in best tracks is crazy but thank you for listening to the album !
Hi how's it going watching from Broomfield Colorado
Really keeping me in suspense with that St. Vincent review.
You would have given him a 10 if his name was Baldee
Bad score and bad take. You’ll regret this. Mark my words.
Funny, this album was like an onion for me. From the outside, it’s just an onion. Okay, cool. Nice onion. Once you start to cut it up a bit it really stinks, if you slice it sideways it has rings like a wise old tree, if you cut it the long way, you see that there’s layers to this shit, and if you cut it all the ways and dice it, it’s pure meaningless and is just ready to be used as in ingredient for some yummy ass dinner.
Bladee need a Michelin star fr
If you step away and think, where did this onion come from? Where are its roots? Then follow it through its life cycle. You’ll start to see how he really came from a seedling to an onion to dinner on the table to the cheff. One day he’ll be the dirt feeding the onion for someone else. Maybe even for you. just gotta lay the seed.
This is bladee at his most emotional and self aware, I love so many of these tracks. Truly one the best things he's dropped since crest.
As of late I've hardly ever listened through an entire album, just cause I enjoy the variety of playlists. Then this comes along. Did I think after 12 tracks that it had to be the outro ? yes. Did I still listen through all of the 30 tracks without skipping any? YES. Maybe 1 or 2 weaker tracks over all, but extremely consistent and creative imo, IF the vibe is something you can get caught up in
Could you check out Ora Cogan - Formless if you haven't? NOBODY seems to know about it but it's genuinely good.
