I like the thought that in an alternate universe there is an alternate melon who said “who’s the best? Is it Jay? 2Pac? Kendrick?- my eyes glaze over with boredom just thinking of that conversation” as he reviews the latest blockbuster movie.
It’s a simple concept but I felt the whole “teleport” aspect of Teleport was really well done and I haven’t heard someone do that on a reflective track like that.
I feel like this is Logic’s version of Mr. Morale. He’s always been an insightful person. I like that explored new ideas in his music. Whether it was good or meh he still being himself. I’ve grown out of my Logic phase mostly but this album I would say brought me back a ways. Good listen and yeah solid 8.
Why I disagree with the other one I think this is the second weakest on the album next to antidote but still both of these tracks aren't bad by any means
took until the mentally ill man to be systematically drugged as part of a plan to milk him of his wealth and brand and getting permanent brain damage in the middle of it for it to happen
@hejhejaske Logic signed a deal with the devil that makes him drop 4 trash projects for every 1 great Album he makes, but Logic has at least 4 or 5 good projects he deserves respect
@Radioface7779 Logic actually has quite a few good albums. His only actually bad projects are Supermarket, COADM, and BT3. Everything else is either really/pretty good (Under Pressure, TITS, No Pressure, Vinyl Days, the YS tapes), or sitting right around average (Everybody, College Park, YSIV)
Also shoutout Sam Spratt. Totally agree that this was Bobby's best album in years and love that it was made solely for the fans. But imo the album artwork is 10/10 and by far some of Sam's best work to date. The simplicity and the color palette is incredible and i'd say of all the album covers he's done for Logic, it's the least pretentious. Instead of kind of throwing it in your face and telling you how you're supposed to feel and saying "This is what the theme of this record is" it allows you to kind of just take a look at it, appreciate it, and figure that part out for yourself.
@@BOAYang Nah I see what he means - A. Pretentious from the perspective of Logic's face always being present in his album covers. B. Pretentious in recreating Masterpieces like 'The Last Supper' for the album Everybody.
I love how interested Fantano is in this album, beyond the music itself. The story behind the story is explained so well by him here. It feels like he went beyond his regular style and let his love for reviewing music and artists shine in a way I don't often see quite like this. More so than regularly for an 8/10. It's like a teacher who had an issue with a problem child all year, just to get to the graduation and finally being able to tell the school why this child was always worth giving attention to.
I think because Fantano straight up knows Logic personally at this point, he REALLY wants to see him succeed It's like how Fantano was watching Kendrick from OD and seeing his journey to Mr. Morale Which is so funny in retrospect because he didn't pull ANY punches on those late 2010s albums LOL
When that happens irl, it's because the problem child's dad threatened to sue the school and kill the teachers and principal, who were like, "If we pass him for 2 more years, they'll be gone from our lives forever. Let's just do this." However, here, this seems more like the movies, where there are good guys and bad guys, and it's clear which is which, and it tells of a hero's journey to the underworld and back.
I remember hearing College Park for the first time and shit stopped me right in my tracks, was so good. Couldn't believe it was Logic, I forgot about him after his 2018 suicide hotline song, was kinda still hanging on to his early mixtapes up till that point but officially stopped caring for his "potential" after that release. If you'd have told me back then that in 2020, Logic would go an insane run of releases that was so full of bangers that I'd be back listening full time I woulda never believed it.
@@itzAsianFool It's also because hes in a much better place mentally actually going to therapy, he mentioned how previously while he was still creating records before getting out of his record deal he was in a very bad place constantly touring during his mainstream era for all that money and craving validation from everyone in Rap that it probably affected his potential and we saw that on his previous albums. He said it on this album its the most free he's ever been in his career and it definitely reflects that in the quality of his music and raps as a fan of his since like 2015

The 9:18 when Melon actually related to a Logic song and was able to self insert his love for music reviewing and how reviewing while still loved is just different than it was when he was in his 20s. Never thought I’d see the day
good catch i can see it striking a chord with melon maybe even a tear forming there😂glad he was able to resonate with a logic song never thought i’d see the day too CRAZY
Great review of a really great project. One thing to note music wise, Deja Vu was for long time fans. It’s an alternate version of the Fade Away beat, a more uplifting iteration. He includes bars incorporating the old song title and even ends with a direct reference to it. As someone who was a long time fan all the way back in the datpiff mixtape era, but fell off a bit during commercial run Logic, this song gave me chills. His whole progression from No Pressure through now makes me so damn happy for the guy. You hit the nail on the head when you said he finally made the album he’s been trying to make for years. Gorgeous production, the most introspective bars I’ve heard from him, and stellar showcasing of flows and deliveries. Fucking fantastic project. Worthy of the yellow flannel
Even tho Logics buzz got a bit lower the past years, you see the views of this review are so much higher than the last uploads from Fantano. People saying Logic fell of from the numbers or the music is literally brainless and sad. The man is still relevant and I love the message of this new album.
The same man who made Supermarket now officially got yellow flannel from the critic he used to hate the most. Logic and his fans are definitely crying in happiness rn and I appreciate it.
Very crazy but I usually don’t agree with a lot of his scores and these are all deserving. Personally I’d give jpeg a 9 cause I usually don’t like his music but got damn what an album
Thanks for putting me on this project Fantano. I genuinely loved the project and I wasn't even a large Logic fan. I hated the unalive hotline song due to radio oversaturation.
This album genuinely blew me away, the fact that Logic was able to make an hour and 20 minute album that kept me engaged from start to finish is absolutely insane. Not to mention, the beat selection, skits, pacing, and recurring themes were all fantastic
I'm glad to see logic getting some love. it's easy to forget but logic really was running the game to an extent back in the late 2010's. His music was uber popular and he was, by many, seen as a darling of the A list rap world. His original tapes and first couple of albums are still incredibly strong to this day.
I feel like the retirement did happen, but in a different way: he stopped being a musician for money (which much of his late-2010s music was) and is now making what he actually has a passion about. That shift definitely benefitted the music quality.
Paul Rodriguez is probably the best opening track of the year. Glad Logic finally realized that he's much better at being a Lupe than being a Kendrick.
@@delsix1222 Oh no shot yeah ofc. (For the record though, he made the Lupe comparison himself: "Aye check is this that Lupe in 06") It's a comparison not for biting flows but for where he decided to take his rapping. He didn't need to be a savior of hiphop like Kendrick, he just needed to rap about himself and spit hot bars like Lupe.
Anthony please check out Madison Cunningham’s newest album “Revealer” and maybe review her next one. The guitar work is gorgeous and so unique and the production is so tight. The kind of music you can play for your grandparents but still feel super cool listening to
I really love how Fantano actually liked this album. He seemed to be excited talking about some of these tracks and it made me feel good, because I liked the album too. It's nice to see melon have fun reviewing again
For me, Logic was matured a lot since "No Pressure", compare to Eminem, Eminem at this moment still blatantly re cycle his old idea especially with his Slim Shady, persona and sell it to his Stan.
A few observational notes: 18:00 Im surprised that City In the Stars was listed as least favorite. In my opinion, Logic has a good ear for talent and the feature was incredible. Logic sounded fresh as hell on this mellow spacey classy glossy beat, the content nicely wrapped up Logics perspective on his come up and where he is now which is a common theme in the album but it goes over nice here. One of my personal favorites. Im also surprised Peace Love & Positivity didn’t get any talk. A big theme of Logic’s career (sometimes unintentionally) is his battle with identity. This song to me reminds me of a b-side from TPAB (yes i said it). The glossy beat reminds me of These Walls with the lyrical content of Complexion off the same album. Definitely inspired but not a cheap imitation like some cuts off his earlier stuff. Peace Love & Positivity is a cut that definitely belonged to Everybody but im glad it showed up on this album because Ultra 85 is definitely a “coming of age” album for logic. This song is pretty compelling to me. Another note, antidote and 44ever are tied for my least favorite here however i didnt care for them much anyways because they didnt play into the theme of the album. I just brushed them off. I liked the hook on teleport, the joke got a little stale after the first listen but it was still fun. Skits were hard to sit through purely because of voice acting and the story progression didn’t do much for the Logic-verse. Still a light 9 for me because the real meat of the project was amazing.
City of stars was good but I think fantano didn’t like it mainly of the last verse when logic was spitting that dictionary rap which tbh we didn’t need
@@manolakiosThat's the way every day goes... 🤷♂️ I don't even really comment on these videos, I just saw an opportunity with a positive logic review and took it
I feel like with logic, explaining the whole music as an escape revelation that he explains finally is the WHOLE POINT of Ultra 85. The point is to grow closer and closer to the listener with his previous albums, explaining his mindset and relating, and then finally letting the listener in on a secret: if you do what you love, you don't need drugs, alcohol, lust, any sort of temporary high to make your life fulfilling. You don't need to prove anything. He lived it and showed it: anxiety, depression, and any mental struggles we go through can be conquered if you stay true to yourself, are honest, stay close to your loved ones, and just find a healthy coping mechanism for life. Everyone goes through shit, so you can't just try to suppress it. Find something you love and practice it, hone that shit, work towards goals, and use alcohol or weed to ENHANCE your life, not escape from it.
Dude, I was fully set on ignoring this new logic album drop and this review made me heavily reconsider, I loved his music, beats, and the topics he covered especially from No Pressure, but I always felt like he was always surface level with what he talked about, your review made me really excited to listen to his new album. Ty so much
Do it. You will REALLY enjoy this one and honestly it was WORTH the wait. Took 10 YEARS but it was worth the wait good sir. Hope you enjoy it! Love and respect!
Melon, this was a great review. but, you didn't have to cosplay Logic cosplaying as you wearing the Yellow Flannel. But seriously, what a long time coming to finally see Logic going 8+ score review club.
Been a logic fan for 8-9 years Waited for ULTRA 85 since 2017 I was in 8th grade about 12-13 years old This is logics best album to date the anticipation for the album was incredible everything is perfect about this album To the average listener give this album a shot idc if you like,love,hate, or have never even heard of logic ever before you will enjoy this album
@@mequana Vinyl Days as Logic's BEST album? Over Under Pressure & The Incredible True Story? That's wild to me. Its good for sure, IMO Vinyl Days & Ultra 85 are at 5&4, No Pressure at 3, True Story at 2 & Under Pressure is still far and away 1 for me, Actually just went back to Under Pressure after listening to his past 3 albums and yeah, It still feels like his Magnum Opus to me.

When Logic drops a better album than Eminem and Kanye. What a time to be alive
idc what anybody says Logic is pure hiphop. Respect this review
I agree. Feel like he’s finally getting some respect
That's why the genre Anthony give is hip hop
Lol no he isn't
@@jumpsurferbeen listening too Hip Hop my entire life you have no idea what your talking about Logic is a great Hip Hop artist
Bro LOGIC got an 8, 2024 really is the best year for hip hop
i predicted 2024 would be his year when vinyl days came out.
"Best year for hip hop" is what a delusional hyperbeast would say🤣🤣🤣
@@iangarcia1585 I mean recently, not all time
Logic gon cry when he sees the yellow flannel
Paul Rodriguez is probably the best opening track of the year.
Glad Logic finally realized that he's much better at being a Lupe than being a Kendrick.
at being himsef*
@@delsix1222 Oh no shot yeah ofc.
(For the record though, he made the Lupe comparison himself: "Aye check is this that Lupe in 06")
It's a comparison not for biting flows but for where he decided to take his rapping. He didn't need to be a savior of hiphop like Kendrick, he just needed to rap about himself and spit hot bars like Lupe.
Biggest compliment to logic because Lupe> Kendrick
@@doomdeadshot1179 I wouldnt say that.
Lupe's been acting extremely bitter as of late. Sad to see someone of his caliber go this route.
@@radicard5193 bitter how the dude is the best lyricist of all time no one comes close to
Anthony please check out Madison Cunningham’s newest album “Revealer” and maybe review her next one. The guitar work is gorgeous and so unique and the production is so tight. The kind of music you can play for your grandparents but still feel super cool listening to
If he had named it “To pimp an ultra 85” fantano would’ve given it a 10
Imboutafindya
the ultra 85 situation is insane
I could almost see this seriously happening
Logic got an 8 before GTA VI
This is the only funny "before GTA VI" comment I've seen thus far fs
@@um001
If GTA VI sucks people are gonna off themeselves atp😭
can we talk about that cover art real quick? it looks so beautiful 🥺
Sam spratt pops off on logic covers. He always has great art
Yeah he always provides the heat
@@braydenyuzik8357supermarket logic is honestly kinda cool
Like always great wallpaper material
Looks a lot like the cover art of 'Monster Movie' by CAN (1969)...
7:03 this part is extremely thoughtful and i really appreciate it
I really love how Fantano actually liked this album. He seemed to be excited talking about some of these tracks and it made me feel good, because I liked the album too. It's nice to see melon have fun reviewing again
Calling Steve Blum, who is Spike from Cowboy Bebop a bad voice actor is… an opinion. Def an opinion.
wtf XD XD
who tf watches dubbed anime
No he’s Tank Dempsey from cod zombies
@@prodnocl1pCowboy Bebop dub was great though
@@prodnocl1pI use sub. maybe dub if it doesn’t sound like Hanime meat beater quality bad.
I don't really listen to Logic but this is kind of a wholesome moment
You literally just listened to him for 18 minutes
@@AugustRx 🤣🤣 but I am about to really listen to him for 1h and 17min
Logic is currently giggling and kicking his feet out of joy rn
The evolution of Logic-Fantano relationship has reached its peak/new high here. Lovely. Just lovely.
9:19 you holding your tears kinda hit not gonna lie, you can clearly tell you connected with whats being presented in the album
True omg
U think maybe fantano is kinda losing passion and getting burnt out too so he sees himself in logic?
A much deserved 8. One of his best albums to date.
Sick rhyme!! You should try rapping yourself
No
@@snoopy4749 you are coping so hard in the replies
@@theinevitable420 “cope seethe reeee” definitely Logic’s audience ♿️
@@snoopy4749 cry
It would have been a 10 if logic had hair
He does have it tho
It would be a 6 if Logic had hair. Bald guys have each others back
@@alfioreyesledda8817 well fantano still has some hair so that isn't fully the case
@@MrSuperman1000000000 he’s balding
Logic's new album is better than Eminem's new album, the student surpasses the teacher
For me, Logic was matured a lot since "No Pressure", compare to Eminem, Eminem at this moment still blatantly re cycle his old idea especially with his Slim Shady, persona and sell it to his Stan.
Eminem isn't really a major inspiration to Logic; Wu-Tang, DOOM, Kanye, and Cole seem to all be more influential on him
@@meowcat7124Logic mentions Eminem all the time as an inspiration
@@meowcat7124he literally mentions eminem on this album
@@meowcat7124don't lie now 😂
Especially since he mentioned him a lot in the album
A few observational notes:
18:00
Im surprised that City In the Stars was listed as least favorite. In my opinion, Logic has a good ear for talent and the feature was incredible. Logic sounded fresh as hell on this mellow spacey classy glossy beat, the content nicely wrapped up Logics perspective on his come up and where he is now which is a common theme in the album but it goes over nice here. One of my personal favorites.
Im also surprised Peace Love & Positivity didn’t get any talk. A big theme of Logic’s career (sometimes unintentionally) is his battle with identity. This song to me reminds me of a b-side from TPAB (yes i said it). The glossy beat reminds me of These Walls with the lyrical content of Complexion off the same album. Definitely inspired but not a cheap imitation like some cuts off his earlier stuff. Peace Love & Positivity is a cut that definitely belonged to Everybody but im glad it showed up on this album because Ultra 85 is definitely a “coming of age” album for logic. This song is pretty compelling to me.
Another note, antidote and 44ever are tied for my least favorite here however i didnt care for them much anyways because they didnt play into the theme of the album. I just brushed them off. I liked the hook on teleport, the joke got a little stale after the first listen but it was still fun. Skits were hard to sit through purely because of voice acting and the story progression didn’t do much for the Logic-verse.
Still a light 9 for me because the real meat of the project was amazing.
City of stars was good but I think fantano didn’t like it mainly of the last verse when logic was spitting that dictionary rap which tbh we didn’t need
@@BrianJr_Can you blame it if the flow is that strong?
Logic is still crying happy tears because of this video
This feels like an alternate universe
Logic watching this review right now absolutely beaming from ear to ear with a tear running down his cheek.
I know you're not a narcissist, Anthony, but giving an 8 to your own album doesn't help the argument.
soooo unfunny atp
@@manolakiosThat's the way every day goes... 🤷♂️ I don't even really comment on these videos, I just saw an opportunity with a positive logic review and took it
Bruh yt comments need to have a spoiler feature
@@fawh7 an opportunity for some internet validation, i get that
@@Koblacwhy you reading the comments if your worried about spoilers
I feel like with logic, explaining the whole music as an escape revelation that he explains finally is the WHOLE POINT of Ultra 85. The point is to grow closer and closer to the listener with his previous albums, explaining his mindset and relating, and then finally letting the listener in on a secret: if you do what you love, you don't need drugs, alcohol, lust, any sort of temporary high to make your life fulfilling. You don't need to prove anything. He lived it and showed it: anxiety, depression, and any mental struggles we go through can be conquered if you stay true to yourself, are honest, stay close to your loved ones, and just find a healthy coping mechanism for life. Everyone goes through shit, so you can't just try to suppress it. Find something you love and practice it, hone that shit, work towards goals, and use alcohol or weed to ENHANCE your life, not escape from it.
This was the whole point of his first 3 albums
Saw the yellow flannel and seriously thought he was talking about some other guy who's also named Logic for a moment.
Would’ve never expected Logic as the next guest reviewer
Dude, I was fully set on ignoring this new logic album drop and this review made me heavily reconsider, I loved his music, beats, and the topics he covered especially from No Pressure, but I always felt like he was always surface level with what he talked about, your review made me really excited to listen to his new album. Ty so much
Do it. You will REALLY enjoy this one and honestly it was WORTH the wait. Took 10 YEARS but it was worth the wait good sir. Hope you enjoy it! Love and respect!
Didnt listen to it until this review. Regret that i didnt listen sooner…
found the internet bandwagon hopper
Yes PLEASE listen to it! Probably the most underrated album of 2024. So good🔥
This is like no pressure 2.0
17:48 Light 8
You know that the score is at the bottom of the description too?
This might not apply to you but I swear recently people have been mad that videos have personality and substance and aren’t 10 second boring summaries
This is by far the best review you have put out yet (Yes I grew up as Logic fan back in the day).
An 18 minute review is impressive lol
He had a 50 minute review on Corey Feldman.
LOGIC GOT AN 8!!!
logic really did predict the yellow flannel this just confirms that paul rodriguez really is perfect
This is a landmark moment in Fantano lore
i love how open logic was on this album.
LOGIC WITH A YELLOW FLANNEL?!?!? the universe actually switched timelines at some point
i have been searching this review up for literally a week waiting for this lol
Melon, this was a great review. but, you didn't have to cosplay Logic cosplaying as you wearing the Yellow Flannel.
But seriously, what a long time coming to finally see Logic going 8+ score review club.
I agree, and was thrown off when Spotify through some of the tracks into a randomized playlist. Just amazed. Love this album!
I gave that album a listen to and its a 9 for me. One of his best
YELLOW FLANNEL?!
Logic getting a yellow flannel before gta 6 is crazy
fantastic review
First time i agree with you
the ADR "no" @8:28 killed me 😂
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS
Been a logic fan for 8-9 years
Waited for ULTRA 85 since 2017 I was in 8th grade about 12-13 years old
This is logics best album to date the anticipation for the album was incredible everything is perfect about this album
To the average listener give this album a shot idc if you like,love,hate, or have never even heard of logic ever before you will enjoy this album
You really like this album the most? Thats interesting to me. I liked it but Vinyl days still got the upper hand for me personally
@@mequana Vinyl Days as Logic's BEST album? Over Under Pressure & The Incredible True Story? That's wild to me. Its good for sure, IMO Vinyl Days & Ultra 85 are at 5&4, No Pressure at 3, True Story at 2 & Under Pressure is still far and away 1 for me, Actually just went back to Under Pressure after listening to his past 3 albums and yeah, It still feels like his Magnum Opus to me.
