I mean she’s shown on earlier tracks like Johnny Run Away that she can actually sing well without the screechy high voice. If there’s one song I can tolerate from Tones and I, it’s that one.
It's a major pet peeve of mine when singers put affectations on their voices. I've noticed it's usually young female singers, hence the term "indie girl voice." Why do they do it? Do they think it'll make them sound distinctive?

I live in Taiwan where Dance Monkey was really popular and I think a lot of success for artists like Tones and I relies on listeners from foreign countries having basic to mid level understandings of English. Hugely successful pop in the US is often underwhelming, but does hit a certain standard. Out here it’s the wild west of what barely listenable song will be imported over. The line mentioned here about “does anyone else feel like this?” is a perfect example where the vague and basic nature of the line benefits its success in a place where it’s harder for listeners to understand metaphorical speech. I heard Dance Monkey probably ten times at the gym here before learning what it was called or who it was by, which happened due to Anthony over here.
Hi fellow Taiwanese, also I think you're partially correct in that statement because it charted extremely high in a lot of other non-Anglophone countries which don't have a high percentage of English speakers. I also think it's partially due to a lot of music producers promoting it in excess in an attempt to appeal to your people, which can make almost any song popular (e.g. a lot of songs off Sour got big off this)
@@madisonkung8390 Definitely. Do you know how these producers go about doing this in Taiwan? I've been curious since radio isn't a thing anymore. Most people I know here listen to music on youtube and spotify but I'm unsure if labels are able to target certain areas through these.
Yeah there's really something about these kinds of pop songs that just stick with countries that don't have English as their first language t. guy in netherlands
I was just so dumbfounded by the success of "Dance Monkey". Literally one of the worst vocals I've ever heard and the song was getting played everywhere. So yeah I'm just gonna take his word fr it. No reason for me to listen to it.
I saw this comment while listening to it and I have to agree. I have so far been able to invasion laptops flying around in a infinite white void for all of the tracks so far.
Don’t bother. I like imperfect voices, as a fan of groups like the Front Bottoms and Bob Dylan, but her voice is so recognizably awful yet hollow and impression-less.
@@jeremyusreevu237 Yikes, Fly Away sounds like the type of song some "quirky" high school girl would listen to while telling people she listens to foreign music (because Tones is from Australia). Pretty concerning that you consider the album itself pretty good, ngl
this record is worse than angelic 2 the core though. i enjoy angelic a bit because its so hilariously bad and honestly an unintentionally interesting experience. madhouse just pisses me off though. it literally upsets me
He put “Welcome to the Madhouse” in the least favorite tracks, and I wonder if he meant the opener or if he just hates this album so much that his least favorite track is the very concept of its existence.
I'll never forgive them for having a whole world of independant music but instead opting to play the same 30 songs on loop every single day. FBI radio is infinitely better.
This is the lowest recorded score he has ever given on any record (excluding NOT GOODs which are more ambiguous in their ranking and probably fall between 0-3. NOT GOODs are based on if the album had any semblance of creativity or potential). Speeding Bullet got a decent 0. The Big Day and Father of All got strong 0s. Lil B - I'm Gay had a joke "light 0" which makes this the absolute lowest score he's given.
@@Harkwit think of it like a strong 10 is better than a light 10. A strong 9 is closer rating to 10 than light 9, In the same way a strong 0 is closer to 1 than a light 0.
Angelic is literally The Room if it were an album, Madhouse is like a dumpster fire on wheels with a brick on the pedal heading towards an oil rig on the coast, can’t end quickly enough
Ive never felt the need to speak for my entire country before, but I actually have to here. Australia is deeply sorry for exporting Tones and I to the rest of the world. She should still be busking on a sidewalk on the gold coast. I can't describe how much we regret this mix up.
If you listen to it while upside down eventually all the blood will rush to your head and you will die. And you will be thankful as you won't have to finish listening to the album.
it's not even remotely similar to melanie LOL she has good production and good vocals at least tones&i is literally just 100 gecs if you sucked out all the quirk out of them
I've never heard Melon give a review where he has literally nothing good to say. First time for everything, I guess. Congratulations, Tones and I. You managed to make the first non-joke LIGHT 0 in Needle Drop history.
If you're talking about her at splendour on the grass. Idk how, but that performance of dance monkey is the most viewed video from her is the most viewed video on triple j's RUclips, sitting at a solid 126mil views
The Big Day didn't get #1 worst in 2019 despite being a 0/10 too, so nice try, but NOT GOOD's can be anything from a 0 to maybe a 3 going by the year end lists.
@@MelMelodyWerner that’s true, but judging by how hard this album got shat on, it’s reasonable to expect this to be the #1 worst album on fantano’s list. like, it got lower than a light 0
"At least a group of theater kids could pull together a decent production of Rocky Horror, this isn't even Rocky Perturbed" *Holy shit you fucking killed her dude*
She's such a massive artist in Australia and I've never understood or cared for her at all. Her voice just annoys me so much so I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one picking up on it
Same here. I'm so glad that someone is finally paying attention to how shitty Fly Away is, since that's the Tones and I song that's getting played the most at the moment.
I’m so baffled at how “Dance Monkey” became so famous. Who the fuck heard that song and thought “oy this right here is a banger”? Apparently a lot of people since it was so popular. Boggles the mind.
@@josephwoo69 she sounds like what would happen if Tarzan's gorilla sister suddenly got an urge to start singing; I've never wished to be deaf as much as when her garbage hits the radio.

@@juliorodrigo6259 I disagree personally but I respect your experience. My experience I hear it whenever she isn't singing over it and very loudly too. When she sings it's barely audible. But otherwise it's very loud for me

going to the comments of her videos and seeing so many people praise her singing...like, i don't want her to be inundated with nothing but insults, because that sounds miserable and i don't have anything against her as a person, but like jesus christ how can you defend those vocals? do tones and i fans live in an alternate universe? this is one of the few artists that i genuinely cannot understand the appeal of
My friend saw tones and I live and she mainly did "pop" covers of boomer rock radio songs and a few originals. Really shows how herself and her management view her career.

She seems to be in her Jokerfication right now, so Hyper/Glitch Pop should not be off the table. Then again she is radio fluff. Im sure she does not want to anger her mom fans who like her "funny, quirky voice" with crazy production.
@@m00nrac00n true! But remember Charli XCX used to be radio fluff! PC music and hyperpop are transformative in that they allow for the curation of music landscapes which require some (re)considering sometimes. The pop tropes could be celebrated through warping, distortion, and thematic appropriation an experimental direction.
i live in victoria and a couple of my friends' bands were rehearsing at a local studio we use all the time for gigs, rehearsals and recordings, and, according to them, one day tones & i just rocked up out of nowhere and demanded the owner of the studio kick them all out so she could use the studio all for herself, ive heard the same story from like 8 people who were all there at the time. its not a very well known studio apart from the people who frequent it, and the weirdest part is it primarily used by the local metal and punk bands. (edit: this happened, i believe around late 2019 to early 2020, whenever dance monkey started to get reeeaaally popular / and yes, the studio owner did end up kicking out the other bands for her, it wasn't really his fault tho, he didn't have much of a choice)
@@Francisah yeah, sure. Doesn't sound like a revenge for dance monkey at all... See talks in this album about how hard is for her to be hated for doing her stuff without causing harm to anyone and seeing you guys hating on her like that, makes me thing that despite of her music being not good, she has a point.
William, I will have your baby if you make a polished version of the mashup I have on my channel. It's literally my only video, and I'm a huge fan of yours
@@JaMorantBiggerArm kinda strange how this became the new meme tbh those were full ass albums/artists this is just 1 song that melon said he wasn't too crazy about
Seeing someone from Frankston getting so big internationally is pretty motivating, but it sucks that she's just got super basic song-writing and has lost the 'quality' of what quirk(?) she did have to begin with
Pretty sure this is technically the lowest score Anthony has given an album ever bc the Green Day was a strong 0 but this was a LIGHT 0. Pretty sure this the first time he’s given a light 0 unironically from my understanding
My girlfriend made the mistake of playing ‘I’m a mess’ on a random Spotify playlist in the car once and I was flabbergasted as to how it was created by a real human being. It randomly came up again yesterday so I decided to RUclips and see if Fantano had reviewed it. I’ve never felt more justified in my life than I did hearing his opinion on that piece of shit.
She released a "deluxe" which is literally her whole previous EP with Dance Monkey and its +2Billion streams so now the album skyrocketed in streams and is like the second most streamed album of 2021😭😭😭😭😭😭
I remember when the Australian music scene disowned Iggy too, this shit just keeps happening, I'm so disappointed with a lot of the Aussie stuff that actually gained traction, despite having so much amazing music here.
"Sounds like Imagine Dragons producing a beat for a Spirit Halloween commercial" fuck I wish someone would roast me as good as Melon roasts these records

I feel bad for King Crimson in the background. He never asked for this
His face really tells it all.
I feel like the only thing between this album and a “Worst of the year” nomination is the possibility of a new Corey Feldman album
this record is worse than angelic 2 the core though. i enjoy angelic a bit because its so hilariously bad and honestly an unintentionally interesting experience. madhouse just pisses me off though. it literally upsets me

At this point, Corey Feldman’s music is kind of endearing lol
He put “Welcome to the Madhouse” in the least favorite tracks, and I wonder if he meant the opener or if he just hates this album so much that his least favorite track is the very concept of its existence.
This album is so bad that he didn't even put a favorite track
The title track is fucking unbearable.
I will never forgive Triple J for allowing her to make it big
I will never forgive Triple J for sticking around as long as it has. It should've folded in the 90's
I can’t believe we still pay for that trash station to exist
I'll never forgive them for having a whole world of independant music but instead opting to play the same 30 songs on loop every single day. FBI radio is infinitely better.
They should be pushing artists like Ruel. Instead, the world thinks Tones & I and Iggy Azaelia are the best Australia has to offer...
They even did a hack episode saying that everyone hating on her had “tall poppy syndrome” and that it was because she was a successful woman. bruh
This is the lowest recorded score he has ever given on any record (excluding NOT GOODs which are more ambiguous in their ranking and probably fall between 0-3. NOT GOODs are based on if the album had any semblance of creativity or potential). Speeding Bullet got a decent 0.
The Big Day and Father of All got strong 0s.
Lil B - I'm Gay had a joke "light 0" which makes this the absolute lowest score he's given.
Isn't a strong zero a worse score than a light zero? Light seems to imply it has some vague potential of being a 1.
@@Harkwit think of it like a strong 10 is better than a light 10. A strong 9 is closer rating to 10 than light 9, In the same way a strong 0 is closer to 1 than a light 0.
BTW I believe fantano has since confirmed that while caught up in his ranting he forgot to say SB2H was a strong 0 (to a light 1)

angelic to the core was destinated to be bad but in a good purpose but the tones and i album was bad even without trying it
Ive never felt the need to speak for my entire country before, but I actually have to here.
Australia is deeply sorry for exporting Tones and I to the rest of the world. She should still be busking on a sidewalk on the gold coast. I can't describe how much we regret this mix up.

I expect Parliamentary investigations into Triple J immediately. You really messed up with this one.

"This thing isn't even 'Rocky Perturbed'." Zero chill, Anthony.
I loved that line.
Since shes from Australia, maybe you should play the whole album backwards and who knows? It might sound better
I tried hanging my phone upside down by the charging cable and it actually helped a lot.
If you listen to it while upside down eventually all the blood will rush to your head and you will die. And you will be thankful as you won't have to finish listening to the album.

Same here. I'm so glad that someone is finally paying attention to how shitty Fly Away is, since that's the Tones and I song that's getting played the most at the moment.

The power of subjectivity I guess

Now the only possible redemption for Tones and I is through a hyperpop arc.
She seems to be in her Jokerfication right now, so Hyper/Glitch Pop should not be off the table. Then again she is radio fluff. Im sure she does not want to anger her mom fans who like her "funny, quirky voice" with crazy production.

If Tones and I puts out a hyperpop song called "Dumb Zebra" I am blaming you.
@@m00nrac00n true! But remember Charli XCX used to be radio fluff! PC music and hyperpop are transformative in that they allow for the curation of music landscapes which require some (re)considering sometimes. The pop tropes could be celebrated through warping, distortion, and thematic appropriation an experimental direction.
If anyone has the potential to ruin hyperpop it would be Tones and I
i live in victoria and a couple of my friends' bands were rehearsing at a local studio we use all the time for gigs, rehearsals and recordings, and, according to them, one day tones & i just rocked up out of nowhere and demanded the owner of the studio kick them all out so she could use the studio all for herself, ive heard the same story from like 8 people who were all there at the time. its not a very well known studio apart from the people who frequent it, and the weirdest part is it primarily used by the local metal and punk bands. (edit: this happened, i believe around late 2019 to early 2020, whenever dance monkey started to get reeeaaally popular / and yes, the studio owner did end up kicking out the other bands for her, it wasn't really his fault tho, he didn't have much of a choice)

Pretty sure this is technically the lowest score Anthony has given an album ever bc the Green Day was a strong 0 but this was a LIGHT 0. Pretty sure this the first time he’s given a light 0 unironically from my understanding
Idk, "big fat goose egg" seems like it's less than a light 0 haha. That's as low as a 0 can get tbh
