Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Amazing that they went from the bug spray industry into music and had such success. Inspirational!
NOT FUNNY
@@mftmss7086 funny
They used to knock in my neighborhood
Just like Black Flag
@@mftmss7086 i agree
keith morris is a force of nature, the dude is almost 70 and killing it 🔥
Or has to pay his rent.
@@503punxoioioi9 so?,what's wrong with that?
@@503punxoioioi9 you mad you're on welfare?
Just seen him live with the circle jerks and couldn’t believe how much energy he has for a 70 year old
That is literally exactly what it is. And it's awesome because the whole record is fucking awesome
Fartano! You are so kind to give out free LSD
If you’re a punk rocker with love for psychedelic 70s stuff. This album fuckin rips
dude’s practically a 70 y/o trip and he’s as lucid and perceptive as he is. fucking sick
I saw Keith with Circle Jerks 3 times in the 80s and he's just as incredible now. I liked it so much I went to Dallas & Austin to see them again! (7 Seconds & Negative Approach also killed it). OFF! is on tour now! Early 2023. Don't miss it!

isn't the forever story a strong 9? Personally AOTY is still God don't make mistakes but Forever story is right behind it.
I hope Viagra Boys don’t get AOTY from Fantano
finally i can listen to 44 albums
@@jerrys1 right? noone cates about that record
@@00elias this is such a fantano watcher comment my god I need to get out of here
I’m glad that a hardcore punk band named after my favourite RPG maker game exists
pffft

Yume Nikki is best

Dimitri is one of my fav guitarists out there..he really deserves more attention and appreciation..he is amazing
Anthony please do a review on 1000ug of LSD. Thanks 😀
Damn, Anthony Kiedis' hat snatching the 8 here! Nice work!
Came here to say this 😭
personally only knew these guys cause of that one song from GTA 5, but i’ve been loving the hell out of this project.
Lmao same
Which song was in GTA?
@@ThePUFFYCHICKEN ‘What’s Next?’
More tracks, shorter album length and higher score than bjork's album. Melon is back
Hard-core punk with a little bit of 60s Acid rock. I loved it.
a little don in there
the shygirl album review is needed
Free LSD sounds like a 10/10 deal to me
This is the real takeaway here
and i thought there was no way the conspiracies could get any meatier
who up meating their consipracies rn?
The saddest part is hearing that 2014 was 8 years ago 😢
As a 55 y/o child of 80s punk, I _love_ OFF!s "meat and potatoes" "exercise in nostalgia" on their other releases! Also, they're selling out shows. Keith is a diabolical force on stage at almost 70, a madman with a microphone. I enjoyed Circle Jerks recent performance so much I went to see them (after Dallas) in Austin and Houston! 7 Seconds & Negative Approach dope sets were a _huge_ part of that decision too, but I digress. Can't wait to see OFF!s 3 shows in Texas! I came here before listening to Free LSD & you are instantly my favorite album reviewer! I'll be back! Subscribing and liking.
The rhythm section for this one is off the chain. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole album. Appreciate the insight 🍻
The mix on the album and the way it flows is so damn good. Hyped to listen to it more and more
Great review.... the new rhythm section has revitalised the band !!!
Waiting on that decent 5 for the new Slipknot.
If this was called The Money Store and sounded like The Money Store I bet you would have given it a 10/10
I completely forgot about this band, thanks for putting this back on my radar
Bright Eyes - “ Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground” Album in the background
every punk recommendation has been deeply appreciated
I’ve experienced their full sonic assault 3 days ago here Toronto. Wow 🔥 they sounds incredible! Love Dimitri’s guitar sound! Legendary Keith Morris voice clear as ever was!
I seen them in NYC after that show.. Awesome! Die Spitz opened up they were pretty good too.
This album really makes me wanna put a tin foil hat on and go run on the streets naked holding a sign in the air that says "THE END IS NEAR" while screaming
Next time you get some free Owsley acid i would suggest meditating with the mantra "Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Shakyamuni Svaha". Beethoven's 9th symphony works wonders with this 😊👁🧘♀️
Thanks for reviewing this. I loved the Circle Jerks and all the 80s hardcore punk bands when I was a kid, but OFF hit at the wrong time for me. Saw the yellow flannel and checked out this one and holeee crap it's good. Probably would have missed it otherwise!
Thank, Tony, I will check it out
Honestly their best album imo.
One of the top albums of the year
Freddie, bladee, shygirl, boldy, baby tate, billy woods all need reviews they all fire albums
Love me some free LSD
Great record. Just slays in every way
Melon, you should check out the new Gitanos record "Gitanos Blues Bastardos", it's so good. Def my fav record of this year, the progressions on most of the songs are super good, the lyrics are almost a bit punky at times and the riffs are heavy, but still feel like it came from Blues. Besides heavy tracks, there are also some breathers. The mix on all the tracks is so good as well, just a beautiful record. Overall easy 8/10, maybe even a 9/10
Hopefully a cudi review drops soon🤞🏼
Hoping to see this band for the first time in a month
MELON, DO YOU KNOW "YOUR BEST FRIEND JIPPY"?
Dude. Instant favorite I found and he's just starting. Only 5k followers on the gram, no tour dates.
I want to see this live, it HITS.
shiiiiiid. 10/10!!
This is my main issue with this review.
One can take all the conspiratorial examples and grade the song/record on how well Keith regurgitated the theories. (Like homie did in the review)
OR, one can take each phase as what i get as a satirical homage to the inevitability of the US falling into shit.
In my opinion, every reference he made to the gaps in wealth distribution, corporate/corporatocracy agendas... are spot on causality of the end he's writing about.
I thought to myself: "how old is the critic?" Because so much of what Keith is screaming about is the same thing he's been screaming about since he started writing lyrics.
Think about "Back Against the Wall." That's the first Circle Jerks song they ever wrote and the lyrics are saying much of the same thing as FREE LSD once you distill it down.
I'm 52. And I can't help but feel a sense of understanding that reminds me of the Reagan era punk.
Sorry, I rant too much. But I just felt this review missed the whole point of what he deemed a conspiratorial aspect that fell short in fully expressing the ins and outs of each individual conspiracy.
Bottom line, in a manner of speaking, we're fucked! People believe in and worship the wrong shit. And whether it's our corrupt government that rounds us up into camps, or some alien race-- when taking into account a lifetime of worldwide corporate and military exploitation and fuckery-- it's easy to believe that one's just as likely as the other-- but we can't let that stop us!
"Fight or flight or just get the fuck out-
We're the ones we've been waiting for-
Joined against the forces that divide us-
Not to overthrow, but to leave behind!"
Fuck yeah, brother Keith.
This record is brilliant and I think it's Keith's best complete message yet. And I cannot overstate enough how fucking phenomenal the work from Dimitri, Autry, and Justin is. What a powerful and gifted line-up! Every aspect of this record kicks ass!
OFF! = STUD PRINCE RAWKERS!!!
Thank God you liked this album. I adore it and if you hated it I'd have to give up on listening
You probably will anyway, but either way: Review the new City of Caterpillar album!
If this album was made by ON! you would've given it a 10
We need the Rome Streetz review
Why?,he clearly is not interested in that type of hip hop
@@melvinslaughter7685 What ? 😭 He has nothing but praise for the Griselda sound
Nicholas Craven & Boldy James - Fair Exchange No Robbery
Man, I saw them almost a decade ago with Cerebral Ballzy opening, what a time
I don’t wanna hear anyone’s opinion on this album if they didn’t listen to it on acid
Where is your review of Entergalactic and Soul Sold Seperately? I'm beginning to form my own opinion.
If you want some education on the DK element just hmu. I love your commentary generally though. Overall, I dig your take on all of this.
I was thinking of trail of dead just a few minutes ago after watching the 'band name abbreviations' take on the fantano channel, and immediately the band gets mentioned in this video lol
The artwork, gatefold… 🥰
I love this LP, I also love Ancient Aliens so this is the coolest multi-conspiracy themed punk album of all time. It sucks that I just heard OFF! will be on their final tour. 👽🎧
This album is a masterpiece and part of the great awakening. ❤
Free Psychedelics, and the flannel.
Keith has a conspiracy themed podcast and I think that is what led the switch to whatever "Watermelon" was going to be to what "Free LSD" is.
Isn’t Off! that old RPGMaker video game with the baseball guy protagonist?
Thanks for giving Fossora an 8 Fantwon. Well deserved.
I notice you still haven't moved that "Lifted or the Story is in the Soil..." vinyl from the background. Very nice, Melon.
Wow I never knew the batter from the game could come out with a project like this
Dude off playing the new stuff at the beginning of their set, on tour, then playing all the best punk songs at the end is the best show you could go to hardcore punk this year
go fucking see them while you can
WHERE IS THE PIANO CHORD FOR WHEN THE TITLE AND ARTIST DISAPPEARS? ANTHONY WHAT DID YOU DO?
Where’s the new Titus Andronicus review, good sir?
I feel so bad for checking the score and immediately leaving but I’m just thirsty for a 10 😭
Enh no guilt for enjoying fantanos content however u like. Though it is sort of like eating the rainbow sprinkles off an ice cream cone and throwing the rest in the trash lol
@@nickrawls5662 idk if that’s how anthony works. Seems to me the fun part abt fantanos 10/10s is they are very rare but could happen at any time for any reason like finding money in the street; there’s just no way to predict it.
@@wwxxww6289 true, though this is “walnut” so to speak while I’m a “pistachio” fan
@@johnpaulcross424 that’s fair
New Pixies review when?
They’re coming to memphis on Halloween!!
please review the new Bladee album Spiderr
just had a nice tasting pizza today. it was pepperoni and it was really good. I recommend Anthony’s coal fire pizza. I got a cookie and a sprite. The cookie was chocolate chip. It was a yummy dinner. Now i’m gonna go get some beauty sleep. I like to drink milk before bed. What kind of pizza do you like? what toppings?
This album is a solid 10 !!! As someone who loves Punk , Psychedelic /Prog Rock, & Free Jazz equally - it hits all the buttons. I don't think it should be judged AS a Punk record .... the band has crossed into Progressive territory with a nod to Jazz. It's a Theme Album full on .... and i couldn't love it more !!!
Fetch The Off! Cutters
Lmao i saw these guys open up for RHCP at a secret show in LA almost a decade ago. Singer talked about how he used to hate the beach boys because they didnt scream or anything and then talked about how now he realizes there really was something magical happening there. Digging the newlyfound psych influence
Rank gucci mane entire discography next
Thank god, my six speeds Limited slip differential is going soon.

Great album review.

I TOOK THE WOOOOOKKKK TO POLANDDDD
i didn't know that cleaning supplies brand made an album, i thought companies making albums stopped with Wendy's! 🤔
You should review the new Slipknot album
Where’s bladee
Admittedly, I am extremely fascinated by the UFO phenomenon so Im biased towards this album. But its instantly my favorite from their catalog. And I get what you're saying about Keith coming off conspiratorial. But I think he, like me, are annoyed that the phenomenon hasnt gotten more attention. "Its been acknowledged that we're not alone!"
Agreed. That was my one issue with his review.
One can take all the conspiratorial examples and grade the song/record on how well Keith regurgitated the theories. (Like homie did in the review)

Have you tried listening to music?
Wonder what the Watermelon album that they ditched would’ve turned out like. 🤔
Yes, LSD should be free
This isn’t better than fossora but it’s a good review nonetheless could you review the new Titus andronicus thx
Bbbbbbbrrrrrrrr! Love this record.
Oh wow it's Tony keidis's favorite band
Ah you forgot Keith Morris is from Black Flag too and the best singer for Black Flag
Rollins is far better imo. His vocal style fits the band more especially for their more sludgy stuff
