Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? 
Видеоклипы
you can tell the cowboy hat in the thumbnail is fake because if you click on the video he doesn't wear it
Oh ok thanky o
Melon thinkin he's slick
Very observant
I only clicked on the video to see melon wear a cowboy hat and I fell for it hook, line and sinker, now I have to watch a video for an album I could care less about.
Please don’t spread dangerous misinformation on the internet :(
"The recently released 'A Moon Shaped Pool' album."
...Sir, that album came out nearly 8 years ago.
Time stopped moving after 2020
I think he meant Wall of Eyes, tbh
@@prospekt_1wouldn’t fit his description though
@@iTzAtaXi idk, the description “balladry” seemed very vague to me
Now I feel old!
5:25 bro we are coming up on ten years
DJ Grant’s going to really love this
What are the top 10 country singers according to RANKER
I thought the same thing! He’s a huge lenkhead
he does he’s been posting on his insta story about it since it came out
that's an extreme dude
We gotta get a fantano dj grant collab
It is wild to me that Adrianne isn't hailed as a genius by every single human being on this planet yet.
Sure, but everyone who’s heard her music knows she is. That’s gotta count for something.
Yeah, it’s ok. It’s too it’s lane for most people.
excellent point @@TheAndrewj96
gotta spread the word first
Give it 10 years
I won’t stand for this Free Treasure erasure. Easily one of the sweetest love songs of the modern era.
Exactly. Best track on the album for me and the only one he didn't mention. I agree with the rest though
@@danieltr248literally, that upset me so goddamn much. also he hyped this up as much as he did with for the first time by black country new road with the same result of only giving it an 8. i rly thought hed say strong 9 at the end or something and was startled to hear 8
Hard agree. I have been listening to it non stop. The opening line “Do you want to go to the river? I know a spot deep and green. Where the wild raspberries and apple trees. And rocks to climb between” hit me like a bus. I immediately thought of some place so beautiful I was able to live for a while - western Massachusetts. But it can mean all kinds of places for any listener. When I first heard that opening I was transferred back to that beautiful place. I reflected on the complicated relationships and life circumstances that are no longer.
@@patrickwalker6024 even your commentary on the line is beautiful, also i deeply relate to your sentiment as i live on coastal mass and plan to move to western mass myself in the future. i have history there as well, the best trip ive taken in my life was to northampton about 7 years ago with my late mother.
literally
These thumbnails lately have been more creative and eye-catching than ever before. 6/10.
What are YMS fans doing in these parts?
i got to hear this album a week before it was released at a community listening event organised by adrianne. just me and a bunch of strangers bawling our damn eyes out. it was the best day of me life
And you didn't invite me?
How do you even find out/get invited to something like that, that’s so cool
@@JackCerro hehe next time!!!
@@paular5380answer now how did you find out
"Vampire Empire" is the best song of 2023 and 2024.
That is simply untrue. Please stop deceiving.
by far the worst song here imo but it's cool to see someone loves it ❤
@@j2k14 by far???? crazy
Nah
Naaaahh Sadness As a Gift is surely the best song from this album, it's still a great song tho
I like how the album cover's blurriness makes it look like you're seeing a picture with teary eyes it's also emphasized with Adrianne's eyes glistening in the photo.
5:29 Moon Shaped Pool? Recently released? I wish it was 2016 sometimes too bro
he's just coping like the rest of us
I realised it's been almost ten years since Lorde released Royals today and I almost laughed out loud at how quickly the time went
@@YodasPapa royals is closer to 11 years old than it is 10 now 😅
We're all mentally trapped there after the collective trauma caused by the assassination of our last beacon of hope by a stupid child.
@@YodasPapalol that’s wild. I remember she posted an early demo of that in a /mu/ thread and everyone loved it.
5:22 "The recently released A Moon Shaped Pool"
Even Melon can't seem to realize it's been 8 years since that album already
The way the chorus on Ruined never melodically resolves is such a genius idea, because the tension of the track somehow grows each time she sings it. Amazing album
Free treasure and fool being the tracks that missed favorite tracks is wild but I’m so glad he loved it as a whole
Was thinking the same thing... and he downplayed candle flame which I thought was amazing!
@@philsmart7542 totally agree, however i think if he had to pick a least favorite I can see where he's coming from with that even if I don't agree. Free treasure and fool on the other hand? those are perfect songs lol
I get it. I like Fool, but I just can’t bring myself to love it
In her songwriting course, Adrianne said that she felt that Evol was one of the best songs she has ever written
and she is right.
She is a she(actual question)?
i wonder why she thinks that. i would take almost any song’s lyrics or instrumentation from either abysskiss or songs over evol. its just pretty vapid in comparison
Personally I would say the opposite is true. Feels like an angsty teenager writing 'real eyes realize real lies' in their notebook.
@@tallky agree wholeheartedly. it honestly feels a little trite to me, and the novelty of the wordplay gets old fast. im sure there's depth there im not picking up on but it doesn't feel like a song that's really communicating something clear and sincere - just too vague and elusive in meaning
Surprised the lyrics on Evol weren’t brought up. Some of her best, and there’s some crazy wordplay, with her pronouncing words backwards in a way that sounds like she’s saying new words. If there was any debate that she’s a lyrical genius, that song ended it
i thought the lyrics kind of were addressed by Anthony?
yeah, mind-boggling track
i thought they were good if somewhat gimmicky
Im so tired i thought the cowboy hat was real
I just came here to say that the first song right off the bat literally made me cry. Haven't even started that shit. What the fuck. What-
fr, the last two verses in particular nearly made me sob
Right!? I was driving to work first listen and found myself bawling in traffic
What I loved to e most was how the first track does such a great job of introducing this album, so intimate and familiar an invitation while also managing to let you know what you’re in for.
Should have been a 9/10.
That's what I was predicting
STRONG 9 for me!!
hard agree
I mean.....thats only 1 point higher lol
Bro’s tryna be Doug Dimmthony, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadano in the thumbnail 💀💀
dougthony dimmtano, owner of the dimmtano dimmadome and the internet's busiest music nerd
the first verse of free treasure is just so fulfilling
Adrienne is basically my spirit guide at this point.
free treasure not in favorite tracks…are you crazy???
The fact that it wasn't even mentioned lmaooo
same with fool like...
Yeah, crazy. The best track for me (which is to say a lot, considering the competition)
Adrianne Lenker is Joni Mitchell levels of genius songwriter
You misspelled 10 in the video
The quality of music in recent years from Big Thief and its members is astonishing.
highly recommend the bandcamp only release, "i won't let go of your hand" :)
Loved this album. Never heard of Adrianne but this first experience was great.
Adrianne's songwriting is a gift to this world ♥️
All of her albums are comfort albums to me. Glad to add this one to the collection
Hey Anthony, thanks for making this review through you I discovered her and this album at the right time. It was the calmness and meaning in the meaningless I needed.
I’m glad we agree this is a 10 Melon🙏🏼🙏🏼
It’s so good. This, Julia holter, Alice Coltrane, future, and sir all dropping great albums on the same night was amazing
Alice Coltrane widow of John Coltrane and Aunt to Flying Lotus is still...alive????
Isn't Alice Coltrane dead? She must be in her late 90s by now if she's still around!
@@NotoriousLightning I believe she is dead, but I guess her management dropped an album “live at Carnegie Hall”, very good I recommend
new julia holter?????
@@realhillkell No, just a posthumous live album, but its beautiful and absolutely worth a listen.
Great review, Anthony Fantano, home of the Fantanoville Fantanodome.
Been liking these new indie albums recently. Please review Waxahatchee’s new album too please 🙏
Preordered both ❤
this needs to be a 9 at least wtf
I've heard this album and of course I love it. The first time I played it, I had to pause after Real House and collect my thoughts. This song is so moving, it brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for your thoughts, Anthony.
"recently released" moon shaped pool??????
He's got old man time compression.
this is atleast a 9 comon melon, dj grant is looking for your location
becoming obsessed with live recordings of these songs in the last year makes it so hard for me to enjoy this album. sadness as a gift and ruined especially, they are haunting and vulnerable and addicting
i love recently released albums such as a moon shaped pool and blonde
Even though i'm the kind of person that has never really cared for lyrically driven music.
Adrianne is one of the few people that has made me see the light when it comes to what good lyricism can do to a song.
saw her play real house for the first time at big ears festival in knoxville this past weekend - not a dry eye in sight
Thank you for validating my opinion by also enjoying this
man I love listening to Fantano talk about a record he loves
that flannel has been with us for over 10 years
Melon looks like a RDR2 NPC staring at me in horror after I aim my revolver at him.
This album is the prequel to Cowboy Carter
if this was named Hood's Hottest Future you'd give it an 8
Yeah, because he only gave this a 4
Or Bright Future
When I grow up, I wanna be a real meme lord, just like you.
only the first track just makes me think about my whole life... damn... a decent 9/10 for me
Grant is gonna love this one
You should really do a review of the album Shabang by Scott McMicken and the Ever Expanding. It was my favorite album of 2023.
fucked up rn off of ion even wanna say but i was hoping for the We Dont Trust You review, but this made me happy as well
Most Yellow Flannels (8+) reviews in the first 3 months of the year in Needle Drop history?
I believe you're right 🎉
People from all walks of life will see this and just go “hell yeah”
i literally had a dream today that you said this is her best album yet 😭
I also really felt the sense of deja vu on ruined, but can't quite figure out what song it makes me think of... any ideas?
Doug Dimmadome Thumbnail
*raises comically large hat to screen*
"This is my alter ego, Dougthony Dimmantano"
Ok but you need to get on that Julia Holter Fantano. It's calling to you
5:25 recently released? That was 8 years ago now.
THIS IS A 10 FANTANO I’M SORRY
Good album review.
Great album and all but does anyone know what's the vinyl behind him? The one above Wu-Tang
I do enjoy Mr. Fantano shitting on bad music but it’s much more enjoyable to watch him sing the praises of something. He’s always got a really clear way of articulating why something is good. Keep up the good work!!
"Recently released A Moon Shape Pool"
Anthony... It's been 8 years...
Its been 8 years since A Moon Shaped Pool....💀
Yelling at my screen for the future album
Love you and love Adrianne
Listen to the song 'Ruined'. A thing of great beauty.
Im obsessed with the album
please review the friko album. It’s quite good
Love this album.
I really thought Evol was gonna be about the sonic youth record and was disappointed when it wasn't lol
The albums called Bright Future
He gave it an 8/10
Future just released an album with Metro Boomin called We Don’t Trust You
Therefore, We Don’t Trust You is an 8/10
Nice but you couldn’t review Julie Byrnes career defining record last year. ;(
Please review “The Head Hurts but the Heart Knows the Truth” by Headache. A collab between Vegyn and an anonymous artist. It’s sooo good!
Shoutout Fantano for the better thumbnails as of late
Tyla review when?
"Tasteful fiddle bits"
Real House made me sob ngl. I miss my dog so much
You should review the new Julia Holter album
Light 9 imo, wouldnt be surprised if it ends up in the top 10 by the end of the year
Listening to this immediately after listening to the Metro Boomin album was a unique experience
I'm crying to this. Pissing. Shitting even.
mountain goats mention !!!!!
Please review the new Heems!
Oh thank god
you better be wearing the yellow flannel for Ms. Katie Crutchfield AKA Waxahatchee
I swear artists like her are sent by god so we have a way to understand the complexity of the human experience. I’ve never heard an artist with the ability to feel like nature. Pure, real and sensitive.
Not a we don’t trust you review but I’ll take it
This was actually was a pretty solid project. How you feel about that new J.Switay album?
When are you gonna review the new Sosa
Pls do the new waxahatchee album!
Where is we don’t trust you bro
Although I only listened to this album once so far, I actually liked her SONGS album better upon first listen.
You have the correct opinion here.
is there a story to the album cover? if so, what is it, im curious?
🎉
