Review new Sega bodega album plz!! He’s so good and influential in the scene fr
St Vincent ABS should be here u trippin
Coagulated Bliss by Full of Hell snubbed
I never forget when he said the guitars on her self titled sounded like farts
What is the name of the artists of the last ep mentioned? The link is not in the description, and I can't find it by looking for the ep's name.
I really don't get fantano, absolutely no consistency in his ratings. Seems like a contrarian, the worst kinda person. Oh everyone likes this? I'll hate it and pick tiny little flaws to try justify the stance, or when it comes to this one, the opposite. Rates it high and talks highly and it is utter garbage.
Have you listened to A Lonely Sinner by samlrc? Really diverse and interesting listen!
BOOOO!
Broken cd is your least favourite, that song is amazing 😭😭😭
antony
When I heard that dogshit whip my hair song for the first time I never would have imagined that willow smith would wind up being my favorite smith
Cowboy carter??
I loved the new Mount Kimbie album!!!!
Again....no Last Dinosaurs love.
mr fantano melon pls reveiw 4batz album
Surprised you haven’t looked at Fabiana Palladino’s debut album. Jai Paul production along with Harry Craze. The mixing and mastering on it is flawless, the writing is truly her own and I think she’s deserves more recognition
Classic albums was what first introduced me to this album, and it's just exquisite. Side B is probably my favourite outside of the hits. Plus listening to tracks like Another Star, so much in there you hear something new even after numerous listens. Please could you review Jordan: the comeback by Prefab Sprout at some point.
smoke some drink some pop one
something that always weirdly triggers me about his videos is that the second part of the "tran - sition" is from the same take as the actual review. it would have been a way cooler trademark if it would always cut to the OG take of that phrase.
This dude is irrelevant.
Lizzy mcalpine!?
You missed out on Package pt.2 by Gustaf @theneedledrop, fantastic art punk album
When’s the lemon twigs album review coming?
You give off professional music critic vibes, but you don’t say anything of critical interest. Everyone has opinions about music, what makes you think the world needs to hear yours?
Me ma me mo moooooo🐄
YOUCHHH
Radical Optimism kinda looks like Artpop by Lady Gaga ppl didn't understand it when it was realised
If you can't understand or feel something doesn't mean it's bad or good. It tells more about you than the thing itself. Btw I don't even listened to those albums. I'm not saying this guy didn't understood or felt. But may be the case for a lot of people.
I was really looking forward to this release. In my opinion, you putting it as a "head scratcher" is pretty accurate. To me it felt like a sketch book of very cool ideas, but still most of these ideas seem to stay in the realm of a sketch. Nevertheless, it is a more than refreshing release and fun to listen to :)
I got sick too, hope you get well Anthony
How could you miss new franek warzywa and młody budda ep...
No reviews left! Cometh the stoooorm!
Knocked loose review ??
Disappointing for mine. Feels like a overproduced continuation of Woman worldwide. They gave us Incognito early on to make the og's feel like we were getting something akin to Cross, all the while to give us a low burn disco album. Still, don't mind it, little disappointing after all these years waiting. Still love them.
PI WAS ORIGINALLY A DAYLYT SONG FEATURING AB-SOUL THATS WHY THEY WENT BACK AND FORTH..
Where s justice at
PI WAS THES BEST SONG AND AB-SOUL /DAYLYT KILLED THEIR VERSES
Melon, I don't think Whip my hair was targeted at cats
What? These Walls is probably the only good song off this album that was newly released.
Thanks for listening to so much music still. Just started that Agriculture record and it sounds pretty.
I don't like people
Tobias Fünke coming in with an opinion everybody clench.
What's the name of the album with the wolf's head on cover on 5:46?
The Seer by Swans, check it out it’s great
Glad to see you giving props to the baby rose and badbadnotgood ep. Seems to be going under the radar for most and it’s just so so good!
What's the name of the last album? I'm having trouble understanding him. Also go listen to the Lemon Twigs album
Antonio el Fantas
Congratulations is my favorite album. I consider it a musical masterpiece
Every time I stream Mortal Man, I add John Cage’s 4’33” to the queue right after, to let myself sit in silence and let that third PAC sit. I don’t want to hear anything after that for sometime. Any album or song that makes you want to do that is a masterpiece.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM i’m so happy that LSP is getting the amount of attention that they deserve! check out AS HARD AS YOU CAN too that project is crazy
Yees baby rose’s album IS SO GOOD!
Why do yiu rate them so high i never expected you to like these guys lol. But i agree with your review a lot, i saw a review online that didnt really seem to understand the band as they said they should go back to what Crawler sounded and ditch their vocalist, which is an insane thing to say.
Thought on the new Le Savy Fav? I’m only on 2nd listen, but quite enjoying it so far
