It’s crazy that I used to see these guys at house shows in high school. I went from seeing them in basements to actual venues and I couldn’t be happier for them. They’re such good guys
That is so cool!! I just recently found this band and would give anything to see them at a basement show. I am so into their sound and I bet seeing them live was so genuine.
@@Ghoulerie sadly, you will never hear anything as good as this album with whatever they put out for the future, and if you see them live hoping for them to maybe play at least one song from this album, you better dreaming about it than even hoping for it + to make everything even more good, frontmane a not so good guy that cant take actual criticism and calls their fans a bunch of teenagers who dont want changes. I highly recommend you listening to greatest hit and all their old stuff, if you like their new stuff, good for ya mane, just sad to see them fall into that kind of stuff. Oh and now that i remember, they kicked off the drummer from this album for absolutely no reason, even tho it was their best drummer they ever had. Just bad decision after bad decision, its really sad to see them fall of sad bad, especially that even tho they did fell off i still consider them my fav band, just cant handle them anymore
@@roacheat335 def not for no reason, tons of shit going on during tour that justify the kick, and changing your sound as you mature is GOING TO HAPPEN, you have to keep in mind Erik was literally like 16 when he started this band, of course their taste is going to evolve and change, each album has done exactly this so its expected of the band. I know Erik and dudes definitely not a bad dude by any means, you're gonna piss people off the more noise you make for yourself, its a given.
This record is fun, creative, and definitely deserving of an 8. I didn't really notice any problems with the mixing or syncopation while listening but even if there is, there were a bunch of indie rock records in the 90s that had bad mixings and they're still praised. It's b/c at the end of the day it comes down to the SONGS, which are great on this album.
honestly I think the points where the guitar and drums don't line up perfectly are nice because it feels more natural, more raw, and less calculated which I think this album heavily benefits from. I do agree with most of your points tho, it's an 8/10 for me
Crash test rating had a problem I feel like plenty of their songs in the past had. They try to go for this specific sound and then midway or towards the end they slow it down and it becomes this messy “I got too tired to finish my essay so here’s a bunch of word vomit” type of sound.
Idk melon, I can appreciate that you have high standards for emo revival but I would argue that, as artists, musicians should feel free to express themselves in the ways that they see fit. That's not to say that they shouldn't push themselves and continue to grow as musicians, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with sounding like generic emo if it comes from a place of catharsis and/or authenticity. You may have already addressed this perspective before, but that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thank you so much for using your platform to promote a talented, deserving, smaller band. they deserve so much recognition for their incredible music!!
If you enjoyed this record, I encourage you to check out the debut albums both Vagabon(Infinite Words) and Jay Som(Everybody Works). Both got great reviews from Pitchfork and I really enjoyed their albums
If I made a top 10 tracks of the year so far 2 songs on this album would be on it and 2 more would be very much in the conversation. That being said, the rest of the album hardly compared to those 4 tracks for me, so I'm absolutely on board with the 7/10. Still, one hell of a debut.
Fuck that! A seven! It's more of a 8-9. God Dammit, brah! I bet if Xui Xui did the same thing with their shitty low vocals.. you will call it adventurous to the "emo genre" and give it a ten.. I bet Lamar's new album is already a ten.. Death Grips fart into a microphone for a whole hour would get a ten. Radiohead puts out a jam of Yorke mumbling in the toilet that will get praise.. This album was real jam and peanut butter music. it deserves a higher number!
i met Erik (Vox/Guitar) when his solo project Focus Ring was opening for Jeff Rosenstock's acoustic tour last year. He's a real talented guy and a hell of a song writer. Enjoyed Greatest Hits a whole lot.
Have you given the new Sorority Noise record a listen yet? "You're Not As _____ As You Think" is getting a lot of acclaim and I'm curious about your take on it
The Time's What Time Is It? is what I am looking forward to this RSD. I really liked this album. Thank you Anthony for recommending this to your viewers.
Hey Anthony. Was wondering if you could name examples of the kind of post hardcore bands you were talking about who failed at reviving anything because of being too reliant on stream of consciousness writing and weak riffs
Hello, I'm having a really hard time with cartridge alignment. My turntable is the Audio-Technica ATLP120. I have the Audio-Technica AT100E cartridge. I'm trying to align this cartridge with the Loefgren B protractor. I can't seem to get the cartridge square and every time I think I do it either doesn't look right on the other grid or I'm a bit paranoid and think it's out of line in one area. I just can't seem to get it right no matter which protractor I use. I need help. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Is there a good video out there explaining this? Anything at all? Thanks in advance.
I tagged the album as a soft grunge album, not as a total emo, it has variety on structural composition and instrumental on their music, it's not pop punk, but has influence on it, it's not emo but has the influence
A little late on this post; but I actually enjoyed the rawer sound of the record. Kinda gives it more of a punk feel in my opinion. I definitely hear the Weezer especially in some of the guitar riffs.
The "recorded in the garage" sound recording you're probably referring to is that drum solo on hunting for sports And I'm 100% it's supposed to sound like that
I'm not sure what you are talking about with the production. The album was mixed by Jack Shirley, who has done work for Deafheaven and Loma Prieta. I think his muddier production style went well with the album, so I am surprised you didn't like it since you like a lot of noise rock.
First time viewer Does this dude play in a band or something Or just listen to music and review it Like I guess I'm asking why is his opinion so relevant and valued Or does he actually produce some music too
Just found this band earlier this week on my recommended. Pretty good if i may say so myself. Oh and Ma Fleur by The Cinematic Orchestra for RSD17 and maybe that Coheed record
Dude you literally said exactly what I was thinking at one point. It sounds like they just got done listening to weezer, nirvana, the get up kids, and maybe even bush. (Or at least he looks like the guy from bush anyway lol) It's a great album though honestly and only $9 on iTunes!
Hey Anthony, I cannot thank you enough for your reviews that you do. You've educated me as a music fan, along with introduced me to so many bands I wouldn't have known, but now love, such as Death Grips and Jeff Rosenstock. You're super talented at what you do, and I appreciate it.
album of the year
-damn emo kid
heavy 8
Aidan Fuge HeAvY NiNe

Remo Drive are cool, I went to high school with those lads in Bloomington.
Komnenos yo Lou are you coming to the album release show?
Love me some Remo and Pierre
dude i know so funny 2 see them on a fantano review I fucking played a show in some kid's basement in woodbury with these dudes. minnesota 4ever yo
Jordan, Minnesota
Farmington, MN
To me this deserves at least a 9/10. They're on to something!
Shane McNealy agreed
And then their second album came out
*Cricket noises*
"if all you want to do [with your music] is vent, get a diary!"

I can't believe Fantano is going to rank a mashup album among his top 10. Honestly it's so novelty, I wouldn't listen to it more than a couple times
I wouldn't listen to it more than a couple times but the first time was orgasmic and monumental

My favorite album of the year so far.
zane u an EMO BOI!
zane Ya dang emo kid
Zane damm emo kid
AY, It's pretty cool seeing a hometown band gets some attention.
I'm from Bloomington too. just heard about them
Review Hippo Campus!!! They're another band from MN!!
Michael Coholich yeah! Would be cool
Hell Yeah. ✌
I think they just need a solid engineer to tighten up their sound and they'll be MUCH better. Still one of my favorite bands rn.
it sounds the way i feel
The Audiotree engineer did his homework
I miss this remo drive 🥲
Hatethony emotano
name brand is easily my favorite song on the album
honestly man, i love your channel. can't ever catch all the videos, but i dig your opinions.

melon head are you kidding me 4/10 when you gave Speeding Bullet 2 heaven a 10??
Caelan K ha...ha.......h.....a
Are you going to review the new Mount Eerie album?
Complete waste he's going to, apparently it took him a while to work up to listening.
Duncan Wright 0
Duncan Wright I understand. That album almost made me cry

They mentioned Fantano in the credits of the vinyl lol
oh shit you're right i didn't even notice haha
How did you not mention Strawberita? One of my fav tracks on this thing
Review Paul Joseph Watson's new record!
This band defines literally everything he complained about at the beginning of the review?????
Where the Tiny Moving Parts reviews at Affordable Care Act?
Thoughts or a review planned for Creepers debut album? Would love to hear your opinion.
Good review.... Anthonys not going to review 50 Song Memoir. :(
I agree with the 7, maybe would have gave it like a 7.5 but that might just be because I haven't enjoyed an Emo album in a very long time.
glad I watched this review, liking the Yer Killin' Me vid a ton and gonna listen to the rest of this.
Awesome references of American Football, Get Up Kids and such because I definitely hear it here. Great review my friend
3:03
oh, at that moment i thought it's the end

1:02-1:13 Ok Go
he called it, it’s been my album of the year since it’s release.
Yes I'm an Emo kid and this is my aoty atm. Probably will continue to be until kendrick drops his project
Have you given the new Sorority Noise record a listen yet? "You're Not As _____ As You Think" is getting a lot of acclaim and I'm curious about your take on it
Have you picked up the Demon Days vinyl reissue? I ordered it last Friday.
The Time's What Time Is It? is what I am looking forward to this RSD. I really liked this album. Thank you Anthony for recommending this to your viewers.
Yo Fantana, please do a classic review of Generic Flipper, it's my favorite album of all time and it would make me moist behind my ears
Does anyone think that he should review Hippo Campus?
yeah he said on yt that Pinkerton got him through high school lol
Fantano you fucking gave me a heart attack when you mentioned In Utero
If Kendricks album drops on April 7th can u react to it and review it while reacting to it. That would be cool...
jason broke that would be fun to watch
Ryan Laetari right 😂😂
+RandomChanceZ he could do a first reaction video then later on do an official one
RandomChanceZ yeah I know
Clifford, The Big Red Nigga 😂😂😂I'm Deaaad
Can you review the self titled Blink-182 album? Just a little throwback review. I'm curious on what you think about it.
This is a straight up flawless album. It’s my album of the decade next to Joyce Manor Cody
Hey Anthony. Was wondering if you could name examples of the kind of post hardcore bands you were talking about who failed at reviving anything because of being too reliant on stream of consciousness writing and weak riffs
What are your thoughts on creepers first album antony?
Can you please review the debut album from the U.K. punk band Creeper, Eternity In Your Arms?
For some reason my mind reads Remo Drive as Romeo Drive

what's the vinyl on display in the back
A little late on this post; but I actually enjoyed the rawer sound of the record. Kinda gives it more of a punk feel in my opinion. I definitely hear the Weezer especially in some of the guitar riffs.
review some music
nice!
dadthony dadtano thanks for the content, salute ur grind, keep it up
Like the album but agree about the production, it's a little too quiet.
Yo yo yo when are we gonna have that Mount Eerie review?
What do you think about the new Smino album 'Tano?
The "recorded in the garage" sound recording you're probably referring to is that drum solo on hunting for sports
And I'm 100% it's supposed to sound like that
Never really listened to Emo before but I found this record pretty rad
Thanks for boosting these guys here and in the GREAT ALBUMS video. I'm loving this album. I smell the next Weezer.
I'm really happy this got reviewed. Loved the single you hyped up so glad to hear the rest was also good
I'm not sure what you are talking about with the production. The album was mixed by Jack Shirley, who has done work for Deafheaven and Loma Prieta. I think his muddier production style went well with the album, so I am surprised you didn't like it since you like a lot of noise rock.
New Remo Drive album dropped today? Review???
kinda sucks though unfortunately
I would probably give it a light 8 personally but I definitely see where you're coming from with the production, it could have been better.
When are you gonna review the new Mount Eerie album?!?
do fuckin sorority noise now they've done 3 FIRE albums in a row
Are you going to do a review of Smino's BlkSwn? Its probably my favorite album this year so far.
First time viewer
Does this dude play in a band or something
Or just listen to music and review it
Like I guess I'm asking why is his opinion so relevant and valued
Or does he actually produce some music too
Fuck, ACA really went in on that lil roast.
are there any visceral bangers on this thing?
Those Dam Emo Kids is the next best name for a band, I guarantee you that.
are you going to reveiw the new pallbearer album
Pretty sure it is self recorded too which is DOPE!
Just found this band earlier this week on my recommended. Pretty good if i may say so myself. Oh and Ma Fleur by The Cinematic Orchestra for RSD17 and maybe that Coheed record
I'd like to see Hipo Campus' "Landmark" here. Pretty experimental stuff.
1:26 he ain't gonna like a crow looked at me
I didn't really like Yer Killing Me, but I LOOOOOVE Name Brand and Summertime.
I don't even know 95% of bands you talk about I just like to hear you talk and rate, and the memes
This is a rollercoaster of emotions. You start positive then rant and then positive and then suicidal.
A live review of Kendricks work coming out soon would be cool as hell.
Are you ever gonna review the "The Never Story" by J.I.D
Great stuff from these guys. Especially for a debut.
Anthony!! Please review The Limited Man by Rosewood. Cheers!
Dude you literally said exactly what I was thinking at one point. It sounds like they just got done listening to weezer, nirvana, the get up kids, and maybe even bush. (Or at least he looks like the guy from bush anyway lol)
It's a great album though honestly and only $9 on iTunes!
The vocals are so hard to stomach. That's a grown ass man.
i was thinkin more of a strong 7 to a light 8
Hey Anthony, I cannot thank you enough for your reviews that you do. You've educated me as a music fan, along with introduced me to so many bands I wouldn't have known, but now love, such as Death Grips and Jeff Rosenstock. You're super talented at what you do, and I appreciate it.
Undoubtedly emo album of the year
9/10 ngl pretty high on my chart
When making a parody album they better call it meme-o drive
