2015:

>give another 1 and a straight up 0 to "token bad" albums from meme artists

Has Fantano sold out to us, /mu/?
>>60858861
Actually Old Boots New Dirt is probably the biggest meme around here, I don't know what pot you're smoking
>>60858861
I would say he sold out when he started doing the "donation" for classic albums. When he started classic week, he said he was going to do albums that aren't easy 10s. Now, he does fucking clickbait albums that everyone "knows" are classics. Endtroducing. Illmatic.
>>60858994
He did Rahsaan Roland Kirk last classics week at least
I'm not mad that he's gotten more popular bc he does know a bit about music and there aren't really any other good youtube critics, but nowadays he reposts memes about himself daily and it's hard to watch
>>60858861
fantano has beautiful clear skin. what is his secret?
This is his job. He's doing all this because it's what he needs to keep getting noticed and more views. Giving that album a 0 gets way more press than a 3 or a 4.
>>60859302
He's been leaching off of Cal Chuchesta's life force for years, why do you think Cal has mental retardation
>>60859302
being a vegan, also being italian
>>60859302
He's fat but clean. Any fat person with hygiene will have great skin, the same greases that make you a lard tube also give your skin great complexion.
On the sybject of his looks Fantano has to have the most unfortunately misshapen moustache in the history of earth. It goes all the way up to his nostrils, jesus.
>>60859379
That reasoning makes complete sense but it doesn't mean he's not compromising his true sentiments on music
>>60859440
Lets hope he doesn't start giving 10s to any overhyped album.
>>60859401
how he vegan yet still fat
>>60858861
I only watch reviews on albums that I fond interesting.
Which albums were 1 and which was 10?
Wait he reposted Aaron? Source?
>>60858861
why do you care if he has or not?
>>60858861
>gives a 10 to THE biggest meme of the year
what was it?
>>60860895
if he has then you can no longer trust his reviews.
>>60860848
>"token bad" 1
Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, can't remember the other one.
>10
To Pimp a Butterfly
Also, the 1s OP's talking about wasn't his first. He gave a lounge album a 1 back in '09 but I can't remember the name rn.
>>60858861
>gives a 10 to THE biggest meme of the year
Just kill yourself. Please.
>>60858861
tpab is legit a 10/10
>>60861052
>>60861072
I really do like To Pimp a Butterfly but he didn't seem as completely sold and blown away with it like with TBK or the Money Store. I was VERY surprised that he didn't bash the Tupac interview part
I just don't think it's a coincidence that he gave most critics' #1 most anticipated album for this year a 10
>>60860922
tpab
>>60859160
He doesn't know a lot about music tho and tends to only have knowledge on a select few genres. I mean, most of his reviews consist of statements that could be read on Wikipedia combined with a few buzzwords that he recycles over and over. He never gets into in any deeper than a surface level evaluation - I'm never given any new insights or point of views because he simply states in what's happening in each track in a completely facile way.
>>60858861
He always sucked and had bad taste.
But you listen to that beta faggot if you want to.
>>60861263
I love it when gamma faggots try to talk about beta faggots.
>>60860939
Could you ever? I remember all the way back in his Kreator Phantom Antichrist review he went something like "in this record, they incorporate melodic iron-maiden elements into their sound" when the band had been doing that since 2001. He's ill informed to begin with
>>60861360
it's more about honesty than his ignorance.
>>60861417
You wouldn't trust a blind man to describe you the experience of visiting tokyo. Regardless of how earnest he is he's just ill equipped to comment on the experience.
>>60861436
I think you're using the wrong analogy. The blind man can still describe the visit of tokyo with his other senses.
if /mu/ doesnt like him he must be great.
>>60858861
All of his reviews consist of either "I like it because it sounds cool" or "I hate it because I don't like it." He uses adjectives like "visceral" and "sonic" because he know fuck all about music.
>>60861549
/mu/ essentially made him tho
>>60861479
On a city and country famous for its assault on the sight?
>>60861575
must have grown out of it then.
He's an expert on punk music. And just through his experience with the needledrop he probably knows more about hip hop, indie, and modern electronic than most anyone on /mu/ or any pitchfork critic. At least he doesn't pretend that he's a jazz expert when he reviews the Epic or that he's a classical expert for the Colin Stetson review
>>60861617
is this satire
>>60861730
Not at all. When he reviews a punk album you can tell by the more obscure namedrops and comparisons that genre is his forte
>>60861730
not him and idk about pitchfork critic but anthony is probably better informed than probably every person here. id say 99% but the people who always dont know their shit go "oh im that 1%".
even if he isnt guys you do realize its just his opinion right desu
>>60861617
Wut? Nigger, punk is the only genre I know a bit about. I'm a dilettante at everything else, and I could swear on my father's life that Fantano does not know his punk at all. He's the type of cunt who would consider Seven Seconds "underground punk".
>>60860813

>>60861850

>>60861807
The only "electronic" he seems to know about is very surface level p4k-tropics. Pitchfork is shit with dance music, but at the very least they've reviewed more house, techno, dubstep, footwork, UK bass, than he has. There's no way Fantano knows more about dance than say, Sherburne or Ryce, even if I don't agree with their opinions all the time.
Also I can't think of any "obscure" punk bands he's name dropped.
>>60861617
When he reviewed FIDLAR's "Too" he complained that the lyrics were whiney and aimless. About an artist who wrote his album while in fucking rehab after his girlfriend died. He's a fucking retard when it comes to anything remotely punk.
>>60858861
I like Fantano a lot, but yeah it bothers me that he goes apeshit for overhyped meme albums like TPAB, all Death Grips albums after The Money Store and the last two "Swans" albums which were an embarrassment to the name.
we really gotta get our shit together, guys
this is pathetic

>Demoralize SJWs from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of today.
I think he's legit going mad m8s
>>60861137
Yeah, this
An overlong, derivative and corny end sequence is the kind of thing he normally calls out
>>60858861
that's called fame. He thinks he made it so he's acting like he made it.
his girlfriend left him and he's getting older and his grandparents died or something
There's a lot more frustration and aggression in his newer videos. He was so much more chill in his 2009-2012 output
>>60863139
Pretty sure he's married m8.
>>60863696
Even worse

>gives a 10 to THE biggest meme of the year
Meme or not, TPAB is worthy of a 10/10. 9/10 at least. It's literally only a meme because you guys hate it, and it's LITERALLY only a meme here. You can get better discussion about it on fucking Reddit of all places.
also who the fuck is aaron?

Sure, if you believe that chin-stroking pseudo-intellectualism is good discussion.
>>60865463
As opposed to memechan's "discussion"?

>>60865669
an idiot who knows hes an idiot is better than one who thinks hes a genius

Yes, but he gave us this beautiful man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulLHtmqDt4g
speedin bullet to heaven is a good album but now it's a meme thanks to fantano.
>>60858861
who cares if he did?
how is this even worth discussing? why do you care?

I'm not even sure he lifts, though he loves to flex in his videos.
>>60866073
>people might actually get offended by your shitposting there
I used to love Anthony but if I saw him today I'd honestly try to kill him just to put him out of his misery. He's like an old sick dog that you can't stand to see hurt any longer.
He hates being The Needle Drop but that's all he's got and he has to keep playing the character to maintain a living. His reviews, the one chance of him following his dream of being a real journalist, are completely embarrassing disasters. His bitch girlfriend walks all over him and the fact she's kekolding him is all but confirmed. He's balding.
I think he'd kill himself if not for the reviews, but with his girlfriend's reputation I doubt they're even his in the first place. I'd just tell him I'm sorry and put a bullet in the back of his head.
>>60858861
You know he feeds off threads like this right? You're only helping market him.

oh no maybe you'll have to actually listen to records before judging them what a shame poor you
nigga gave the new dgd album a 1
that album was so fucking tight
>>60858861
I'd love to see Fantano get run over by a limo.
>>60861848
seven seconds is pretty obscure
>>60858994
>Endtroducing
i never did get the hype around this album
just sounds like some boring loops of not even that good material

this desu senpai
>>60859403
>>60868402
except hygiene has nothing to do with clear skin.
That's why you can be a hobo who hasn't seen a shower for 10 years and have better skin than people with acne.
>>60872283

Anthony is alright, whats up with /mu/ getting an erection with him these days

>>60858861
Didn't this guy shit on heartthrob for being a synth pop album with synth pop in it? Why the fuck would you listen to this idiot?
>>60876237
By actual definition and not just internet definition, they are memes. Don't get so worked up over something that you're not entirely correct over.
>>60858861
>taking anti depressants
>turned into a mra
he's doing alrite considering all this
>>60872275
They're a mainstream (for a punk) band. They're part of the second tier kit after you're done with the dead kennedys and black flag.
>>60867334
he definitely lifts ya tard.
Daily reminder.
What did he give 1s to?
>>60879536
feminism
>>60879536
women rights
