I swear Pitchfork just uses a random number generator for everything they review and then try to write something based on what the number is
facts
Ai revew
Feels like they just stole that “review” from Twitter
nah drake paid for this article
I never had this thought before, but now I don't think I can ever unthink it
Don't let them get you down, melon. You'll always be a strong 4.2 to us.
Strong 4 to Light 5
@@Omar-oz8xu tbh strong 3 to light 4
sometimes good

Pitchfork being contrarian about anthony being contrarian is extremely believable. AI nailed it
I mean, he is a contrarian. His whole brand is based on it
It’s funny because whenever I look up album reviews I expect Pitchfork and fantano to have relatively the same opinion. It’s like that pointing Spider-Man meme
Seems like everyone in the comments is confused so here’s a PSA: THE REVIEW IS NOT REAL. IT WAS WRITTEN BY AI.
Fantano they gave you a well thought out and good review I don't think you should just call them "bitchfork" for 11 minutes
normally this joke format is cringe but bitchfork is rlly funny
This is even better when you realize this was commented immediately as the video was uploaded 😂
I think he should tbh
Literally insulted him the entire review

I wonder how much Drake had to pay Pitchfork to make this incredibly bad review about Fantano 💀
Cadê o Dossiê Pt. 3 Raluca, para de assistir Fantano
Nothing because it's A.I generated
@@andreborbaNOSSA 😂😂😂😂😂
Nah that that was a W review
There's nothing bad about this review, it's 100% spot on, aside from the prancing part lol. I've been saying this for years, the issue is Fantano's comment section is an echo chamber for his public masterbation, which in turn become all out circle jerks and anyone daring to point it out gets shamed like some sort of cult lol. If it wasn't for UA-cam's comment section, Fantano would never have been able to make a career out of this. It's the engine that runs this perpetual motion device of pretentious contrarianism
"He's a contrarian who hates everything popular to seem cool"
That explains his massive love for the super avant-garde, unknown, underground rapper, Kendrick Lamar.
knowing it was ai generated actually gave me a little bit of faith back, i was blown away that a professional review read like a high school student's C grade english paper.
straight up, that's actually a b grade undergrad paper.
This - everyone makes out that ChatGPT is amazing at writing in the style of other people. From what I've seen it's mid at best.
Have you read other pitchfork reviews? Tbh this isn't far off from the usual "content" they write
Especially from pitchfork, they are known for writing pretentiously worded reviews
Yeah it was like a B+ essay for a Sophomore in highschool
Fantano: “Y’all know this is just my opinion, right?”
Pitchfork: >:(
It's ironic because this is pitchforks opinion too
"I know it's your opinion but your opinion is wrong"
Eminem
Bitchfork
Oh my fucking god, has no one in the comments actually watched the video?! How the fuck can you tell on yourself that badly?
It’s laughable that pitchfork calls Anthony’s opinions irrelevant, when basically every opinion about music is irrelevant to the consumer. Makes me think they are so fucking far up their own ass.
Calling Melon a contrarian is like calling Nav a genius. Everybody already knows it, but it’s nice to have it reaffirmed.
This comment rubs me the wrong way :?
@@pureairbubble8841 i’ll rub you the right way 😉
I am actually dying 😂😂😂😂
his DSOTM takes come to mind lol
Based
No one in this comment section realizes the article is A.I generated 💀
I genuinely cannot believe how stupid these people are, humanity is done lmao
Funny as that was, it wasn't super Pitchfork style. The two most common traits of a Pitchfork review:
1. Huge amounts of artist backstory spoonfed to the reader before any discussion of music
2. Majority of the review is taken up by some attempt at a quirky metaphor or personal anecdote
came for the pretention, stayed for the prancing. 10/10
😂😂
😝🤣💀💀💀💀
There is a little something for everything
Starting the last paragraph of the review with "In conclusion" lets me know the journalist is a pillar of intellect.
So are you, clearly.
Did you watch the whole video before commenting? lol
@@Ellipsisistic ending your sentence with an adverb makes you look foolish, obviously
I feel attacked
Makes me wonder if ChatGPT wrote this editorial lol
Ironically a lot of the criticism directed at Melon in these AI reviews are for things that apply to Pitchfork’s actual writers.
If AI doesn't know not to end a piece of writing with "In conclusion...," we have a long time before the robots take over.
Bro I'm that gullible, took me so long to realise that it was a fake review
Looking at the comments, I can't tell if everyone is in on the joke or are just that gullible. Not gonna lie, I checked their website to make sure but only because the comment section is making me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
@@meowtherainbowx4163 fr
This channel is just becoming thatistheplan2
Wait no memes is this real or cap??
it does seem like smth pitchfork would do as a joke, the comments are acting like it's real
I can't believe Fantano created the genre Music Criticism
As a person who had spoofed Melon before, I'd like to say his lack of self awareness and deeply ingrained superiority complex are two of his most endearing qualities.
I think the fact that you are one of UA-cam’s most popular UA-cam critics with such a vibrant and diverse audience speaks for the fact that you’re aren’t obtuse in the slightest and that your approach works
And you’re just delightful to watch no matter what your opinion is on the work, you can make a 5/10 review as exiting as a more extreme stance and I think that speaks to your talent as a figure in the reviewer landscape
Anthony has pretty much cracked the code on how to be an entertaining content creator as well as give insightful inputs on music. It’s a balancing act but in the age of internet celebrity it’s really tough to manage, so I give him his flowers for that alone
Apparently this makes you as good as There Existed An Addiction To Blood so dont take it too hard
Yeah… they really do not like Clipping for some reason lol
@@minkstar9021
Pitchfork: _Splendor & Misery_ is a 5.3/10
Also Pitchfork: _Splendor & Misery_ is the 30th greatest Industrial album of all time
@@curly-d23 so fucking based
bro there's no fucking way they gave that shit a four even if you actually hate the genre you have to respect it as like a 6 or 7
@@lonelycreamsicle569 pretty sure the highest they ever gave a Clipping album was a 6 for Visions of Bodies Being Burned.
Super cool of Pitchfork to send you a vegan ice cream recipe. I bet it goes great with those cookies!
Unironically, Anthony is successful because he is a very smart man with sophisticated taste who's also good at communicating his ideas in an entertaining manner.
@@mezzb Yeah I love fantano but as a big jazz listener I wish he went more into detail on the tracks that actually are complex and technical. Also sometimes he just says some ignorant stuff. Like he’ll flame a jazz song for not having “good song structure” when jazz is literally known for not confining to the rules of traditional songwriting.
I'm not gonna lie Fantano, when I first started watching you a couple years ago, I didn't understand what you meant when you said things like "production" or "mix" or even what a "cut" was, so it was a bit inaccessible to me as someone more interested in music itself and unaware of music industry vocabulary. But I feel like you educated me a lot by using these terms and I'm really grateful for that because now I feel like I have a far richer vocabulary than ever for describing what I love about music. Thank you Anthony :)
This just shows how many people look at the score and comment angrily without actually watching Anthony’s videos lmao
I like how they say that you take too much time "talking about your opinions" as if that isn't QUITE LITERALLY the point of a review.
Something tells me you think this is a real article
It isn't though, music reviews are supposed to be objective and not reliant on your own taste, personal politics, etc. It's supposed to just focus on what the music is going for, if it achieved its aim, its technical proficiency,
Not if you personally like it or not, this way any person could read or watch and get a solid idea of whether or not THEY might like it. I can't possibly know if I'm gonna enjoy something just because Fantano does or doesn't, I need data not vocabulary salads
@@maxxmarino6500 music is deadass one of the most non objective things to talk about
@@default3252 I don't watch the videos, I just pretend to and see how many likes I can get.
@@bacon4708 that's why reviewing it takes time , which is another reason Fantano really can't be taken seriously, something comes out and he's releasing a review of it the next day lol
The irony of a pitchfork writer calling melon pretentious is thicker than my oatmeal… that I made with concrete
Throughout this video, the immortal words of Nate Diaz kept popping up in my brain: "how u gonna snitch on urself"
anthony fantano is one of the pioneers of the music review music genre, dude is actually so underrated and talented i listen to his work all the time
Pitchfork giving Melon a 4.1 will forever be one of the reviews of all time
I know this eats him up inside. He’s putting on a good face for the video but this will make it tough for him to sleep at night
It is defended the most of anything I’ve seen this year.
Find another joke/meme format to regurgitate, hack.
let this meme die
hello thenerdykid2001
That AI review is honestly creepy as hell, wouldn’t have been able to tell a person didn’t write that had I not known up front
On the bright side, I think this only serves to illustrate just how shitty and formulaic Pitchfork's reviews actually are. A lot of the writers on that site kind of all speak the same. It's still scary as hell, but it's nice to see it proven that the site is so bad that an algorithm can fucking write reviews for them. 💀💀💀💀
AI just scrounges the internet for key phrases and words that have already been written by other people about the subject, and then assembles and tweaks those findings into its “own” passage. It sounds human-like because it references sentences that were already written by humans. It doesn’t actually create its own original thoughts.
@@BryceSunny One hundred percent agree, but until people find a catcher buzzword, it's a bit easier for others to refer to it that way even if it's blatantly wrong and I hate it haha
@@BryceSunny It's true. As soon as you realise how it actually works it seems so much less scary and cool.
Not sure why, the quality of the writing sounded like a high schooler trying to sound smart.
I think Anthony was secretly doing a social experiment to see how many people would believe this by simply reading the headline/thumbnail and how many people would quickly form an opinion solely based off that. A quick cursory search on pitchfork or even of the cited writer “cadenza rhapsody” will clearly show that this video was meant to be satirically clickbait-y and that realization can be accomplished by merely watching the first ten seconds of the video.
Honestly, the shitty reviews that the AI generator spat out of Anthony made me feel a little bit better that AI will not take all of out jobs lol. To be frank though, I kind of wish that creators (h3h3 uses chatgpt all the time) would stop using AI, even in a satirical fashion, because a lot of people are and will lose jobs due to AI. This is a huge point of contention during the current writer’s strike in Hollywood as studios have been using AI in place of writers in many cases. AI usage will only put large sums of money in an even smaller group of people while leaving the rest of us poor and miserable
As soon as I saw it I thought " this has to be a shitpost" it has to be, there's no way this is real. This has to be the vegan cookie recipe all over again
@@peacewarrecordsyeah just stuff ai writing up on our asses 😅
Anthony I can’t thank you enough, with you helping me find the music that I’ll look back on as the capstone of my years as a human navigating earth. Thank you.
Anthony Fantano: 4.1

In regards to the music jargon I feel like most stuff he uses is pretty universal or easily deciphered via simple context clues. On the off chance where I do need to Google a word I don't understand I see it as an opportunity to enrich my life by learning something new and for that I thank Fantano. If I needed to Google multiple words per episode then I could see it being problematic but that's never felt like the case at least for me. If he does use jargon it's usually peppered in pretty sparingly. Keep on makin great content Melon I'm not going anywhere!
Well to be fair, if any publication knows about being snide, self-important, and pretentious, it's Pitchfork
Seems FADER just wants revenge and is delegating the hit job
Really didn’t expect Pitchfork to give you a 0 and then put a video of a monkey peeing in its own mouth, but okay
I wonder how many people understand this reference? Early Pitchfork was wild.
Deep cut for that shit meme format: really swung for the fences with that one though.
Banger comment
Goddamn that Jet review was funny as hell, we'll always have to give Pitchfork that one.
Christ, I’m old
This is incredibly sad for you Fantano. I hope your career can survive this assault.
Can someone send me a link of these reviews? I couldn't find them
havent felt this betrayed since i found out drake didnt send you a vegan cookie recipe 😢
had never even seen a shooting star before. 25 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. Anthony Fantano was sitting upright in his chair with great posture. His voice slowly beating on the pleasant microphone, talking, eyes wide, into his microphone like he was trying to condone a timid champagne papi. His impressive collection of vinyl waited patiently on a multitude of shelves, anticipating his acknowledgment. White pearls of studio light swam over his face. A lazy Karen spills her artificial opinion on his review of Fiona Apple. The grass stained square of a green screen hangs at one end of his apartment, on the steps towards the building, a copy of In the Aeroplane over the sea. Hustlebones and Scared Hoes laid beneath. I stared entranced, soaking in Melons new review, chiseling each word into the best functioning parts of my brain which would be the only sound system for the material for months.
Y’all know this is just my opinion right?
expertly written, a riveting rhetoric
Mid A
Fantano fanfic
Not the randomly swapping between present tense and past tense 😅
good for you giving an up and coming publication like pitchfork some airplay.
This is like watching two bullies dissing each other.
I would love for Pitchfork to review themselves. We all know it would be a 2.9 if they were honest
Would be a light 3 in total
Yet everyone talks about their reviews for every little thing
I did one using the generator fantano used in the video and it gave a 1.2 LOL
My favorite quote was “Pitchfork is the music lover’s equivalent to a kale smoothie”
OG Pitchfork is around a 6.7, but Pitchfork after Chris Kaskie left is a straight 3.0, it basically became the IGN of music reviews
A 2.9 is too high, they're a 0.1
"Snide and self-important" is the very definition of a Pitchfork reviewer.
Can’t believe pitchfork woke up and chose violence against him like that lmao
Melon, you do great work man don't let these AIs bring you down, they don't even know how to make someone eat spaghetti properly
“I don’t even like myself enough to be pretentious” is the most I’ve ever related to Melon.
You don't have to like yourself to be pretentious, in fact it's usually the people who hate themselves the most that use pretentiousness as a shield to prop up their self esteem, especially in the face of the people whose opinions they hold in high regard
@Maxx Marino
Sounds like something a pretentious person would say

I need you to cry harder, fam
Does it matter?
Why are people expecting other people to like the same shit they like anyways? Why people give a fuck?
It's an opinion, it's how ONE person feels about it. If people don't feel the same way and don't share the same opinion, why give a fuck? Does it make their feelings and opinions change?
Because if it does, there's something wrong with them, not with melon.

@@fernandoreyes680 no, no, he’s got a point

Could you fucking imagine being a music critic who decides to review ANOTHER music critic?
thanks for reacting to this melon, pitchfork has had my family hostage for over a month, and maybe with your response they’ll reconsider letting them go!
Apparently all it takes for AI to pull a fast one on me, is for it to be hypocritical in a human way
Watching grown men prance around while spouting irrelevant opinions is my favorite UA-cam genre
I'm mostly surprised that Drake uses a pen name when he writes articles for Pitchfork.
Haters will see you owning a horse track and say “yeah but he don’t have a car doe”
If my name was Ceadenza Rhapsody I’d be fucking pissed off too.
can't call yourself that and say someone ELSE is pretentious
This is clearly a love letter, right. This was written by a fan.
Pitchfork also called Asian Man records, quote, "one of the worst companies in the world" in their review of Maybe I'll Catch Fire by Alkaline Trio.
I mean even if you don't their catalog, calling them the "worst company in the world" is just trying to be miserable.
Can confirm i witnessed Melon acting a fool in the live chat of an adult swim stream. He threatened to hit the chat with a "Stone Cold stunter"
It took me way too long to realize that this was an AI generated review
Probably the best pitchfork review. Fantano has always been kind of a cheesy , narcissistic parody of the pretentious pitchfork paradigm for reviewing music on a 10 point scale with a hipster stick of their rectum.. The man is goddamn 40 and still playing up the whole hipster music nerd thing. It's like get off the internet, go touch grass, buy a steely dan album, get a woman you don't like pregnant and take up golfing already.
like as a child I was so dismissive of the melon reviews til I watched that shit
now the melon reviews are my favorite type of reviews
Hi Anthony, Pitchfork CEO here. No hard feelings over the review, we can't have another reviewer giving their opinions out there because then people won't take our reviews seriously. Our Review Generator AI has been through a rough patch lately and we've added prompts to give lower scores to anyone who has ever been without hair. Expect lower scores for Death Grips, Freddie Gibbs, and Britney Spears in the future.
Love,
Pitchfork CEO
PS - your teeth are only an 8 out of 10, they're not even that avant-garde or innovative, they're just white like most of our writing staff.
yo bro you should let pitchfork shut down , it's totally meaningless lol stop music-politicking
Stupid comment
ngl fantano is like one of two big youtubers that genuinely do get the underground meme culture and can pull out a fresh batch every now and then
Underground meme culture? You should go outside more
Would love to hear you on their podcast The Pitchfork Review. Maybe one day they will reach out to you, maybe they already did. That would be a very popular episode if they ever did it
pitchfork really missed an opportunity with the half baked thoughts comment could said his “no-bake thoughts” would have been 10x better
As someone that enjoys Kid Cudi's music, including Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven. I still respect and appreciate Melon's reviews and critiques.
It’s good to c Nav’s new career as a journalist take off, best of luck to him in the future!
this might be the funniest fictional story pitchfork has ever blessed us with
I’m a layman without much musical knowledge, I’ve never once had trouble comprehending or digesting your reviews, I’ve never felt that your reviews are pretentious.
Glad to hear you finally talk about the horses, although I’m a little concerned to hear that every time you don’t mention them is another day they go without being fed…
It's time to send them an AI-generated vegan cookie recipe in response.
Why is the ending so relatable/adorable?
I used to watch Anthony for the reviews. Now I'm just here for the memes and dorky wholesome vibes 🌝
the picture the used of melon looks more like logic's bald cap impersonation rather than actual melon.
It's nice to see the seething rage Anthony has for the UA-cam comments slip through before he collects himself.
Only AI could truly properly depict the jarring dissonance between a pitchfork review and score
"why is this music reviewer not a music analysist" is what i got from the first sentence.
To be fair that ok computer video the other day just picked apart the person's tweet and wording and had nothing to do with the music and it was like, damn I want to write an article for pitchfork about this right now.
This is the greatest troll of all time, good job melon
damn even the music critics are releasing diss tracks
Pitchfork isn't legally allowed to give over a 7 if it's not a Phoebe Bridgers colab.
Your shitposts are what I’m here for and the raw music reviews man
Melon arguing with reviews he made about himself really proves the reviews that he made about himself right
no way there’s gonna be musics critic beefs
To be fair I haven't been to Pitchfork in probably a decade,but the criticism of Fantano not talking enough about music is pretty damn funny. Almost every review I tried to read from Pitchfork sounded like a failed creative writing degree just wanting to flex instead of actually talking about music.
It's ai!
I’m gonna have to agree with pitchfork. I watched a review of yours and you talked about money and luxury items you buy on a daily basis
i wonder how his vegan cookies are doing
tfw you realize its an ai generated review
“Spends more time talking about his opinions than analyzing the music”
That’s what makes him the Internet’s busiest music nerd. THAT’S WHAT NERDS DO!!!!!
Did they take it down? I can't find it online
Your reviews strike a perfect balance between being accessible to non music people and being technical. Your vocabulary as well is incredible. I just wish you could add clips of the songs when you’re talking about them. God damn copyright laws!!!!
I'm grabbing my pitchfork.
what's the link? cant seem to find it on pitchfork's website either
Hate to break it to you son but it was an AI-generated review
This might be the beef of the summer
You should have had the AI review pitchfork itself.
I, for one, want to hear more about the horse race track.
Pitchfork claiming someone else is "snide and self-important"?
Nice to see they still haven't attained an ounce of self-awareness.
why does the first paragraph read like pitchfork reviewed pitchfork
