I dunno man, I know he took lessons when he was really young from the podcast, but I can't imagine him knowing anything more than some pretty basic chord playing. Could you let me know where he said this and I'll eat my words?
@@Dankyjabo I went to the first show of his tour last month and he mentioned that right after performing Wacky. Said he's not confident enough to try and play it live yet though. He seemed really proud to be behind that solo. I'm assuming he's been taking some lessons recently. If I remember correctly he talked more about his work with the instruments in his Fantano interview, but don't quote me on that one.
When Matt was on Anthony Fantanos podcast recently he said he didn't know how to play his guitar well enough to do it live yet, he's working and practicing with a friend 7:17
I just got a comment claiming the exact opposite lol. Thank you very much for this my friend, I did think it'd be something like that. No doubt when he learns how to work his way around a guitar more, it'll improve the sound of his future projects. I'll go watch that interview now
No way this video hasn’t popped off yet, I remember seeing it a couple months ago and even with recent events it didn’t go into recommendations but still a good video 👍
What an interesting watch~ I've honestly been a fan of Spermega musically since about DTF, and seeing this more detailed take on Matt's solo album from someone who clearly knows more about music than me is facinating.
Great video, but the sudden cuts to very loud sound effects and bass boosted audio is irritating and takes away from what would otherwise be a really fantastic video essay.
" I can say with relative certainty that he’s outdone many of this year’s most esteemed records of those same genres." cmon man tf is this lol. You should check out the new Organ Tapes or heavn albums. hell even the new Lucy and Gods Wisdom album if that's your thing. I hate rex orange county and joji and as much as anyone else but put some respect on other artist this year, I'm sure they tried just as hard
The projects you mentioned are definitely better than this, but that's exactly why I said 'SOME of this year's most esteemed records' not all of them Jesus Christ, it's 6/10, a little above average
@@Dankyjabo dude i quoted your written intro verbatim, you literally say most lol. I can tell you try your hardest to be fair, but its obvious how much of a fan of supermega you are and how biased this whole thing is. btw coral is a perfect song
@@mandostroke1 I said 'SOME of this year's MOST esteemed records,' not 'MOST of this year's most esteemed records' which is a pretty significant difference. Also respectfully, perhaps I am a little biased, but no way you can call me biased and then claim Coral is 'perfect'
@@Dankyjabo you didnt lol, read your own video description. cant believe you criticize a perfectly well made shoegaze song and lump it with shit like ring pop and balance?
Matt said the guitar is all him. Even the solo at the end of wacky. He learned guitar just for this album

Great vid essay! Even though I have some completely different opinions on the good (and bad) parts of the album, I loved hearing your thoughts on it

Thank you very much my friend :)
DTF is a certified hood classic btw
I see somebody say nice things about m'guy and i click like.
Our sweet ol' Matt did a good job
I appreciate aquarium for just letting the beat play out
Great vid homie
Glad you enjoyed :)
especially his song WACKY is stuck in my head
❤
Wacky was my favorite song of 2023.
also fyi matt said on his fantano interview that he wrote starstud in a generic way like that because the beat was so over the top
still 800x better than lil yachty
Great video, but the sudden cuts to very loud sound effects and bass boosted audio is irritating and takes away from what would otherwise be a really fantastic video essay.
Thank you thank you, I'll lower the volume of the glitches next time :)
@@Dankyjabo thought the same but this is super well put together. you're a G for taking that criticism in a healthy way.
Really talking shit on joji whenever you got the chance💀
