@@TheD736 You don't have to "like" Linkin Park, just don't have to "hate" them. They haven't done anything to deserve hate. (Although now that I'm getting into metal, I really wonder... Why the fuck did they start with fucking "Nu Metal"?! Like, what the fuck.
@@benthies9531 apparently Mike has seen - some - video at least, cause Mike commented on Anthony having reviewed his stuff in a not even very tecnically mean but very aggressive way.
i just don't really any visceral response from it, honestly. i just kinda sit there. i don't feel like headbanging or anything like that. i don't feel like putting my metal face on most of the time. just feels kinda sterile to me, i dunno. but, like i said in the video, i'm trying. i'm trying to learn how to appreciate it better.
Y tho? Yeah, he's a great lyricist, producer, pianist, guitarist, vocalist, rapper, graphic designer, painter, sweet guy and my single most favorite solo artist of all time. but god?
i'm not 100% sure why either, lol. people just wanna know my thoughts on these records. i mean, i don't really love, love doing the segment, but ppl seem to want me to do it every once in a while. *shrugs*
to be honest, these y u no reviews are the best content on this channel. I discovered quite some gems since anthony started them. mad props, keep them coming!
Hey, I'm just happy you made the effort to talk about Lorn at all. I personally LOVE Lorn, and there's not much else out there like Lorn when you look at his entire music history. He's very flexible.
i have to defend the beach boys because they were completely forced into making that album. not to mention i really enjoyed the last four songs, though i do agree the autotune was a big problem for me, and the lyrics were also not up to par, but it wasnt the worst thing in the world
Shoegaze is a genre based heavily on noise and large sweeping use of many effects pedals in conjunction with rock and indie elements. It's called this because guitarists would be constantly staring and adjusting their effects pedals, or to the audience, staring at their shoes, and therefore, shoegaze.
How is DIIV any different than Dirty Projectors or the Beatles?--melodies and songs. The reverb is just the production, a non-issue (or at minimum a stylistic preference, like wearing kneesocks) when it comes down to it.
Lorn is one of those anomalies in music whose production is so intensely deliberate there's always something new to grasp on a re-listen. His music comes from a dark place, I respect that you can't get into that, but don't you feel it pulling you into his world?
It's lame how you can't see what was so great about Flockavelli. That will be the best record he will EVER produce and you can't give him credit for how good it was.
y u no review 'The Thing & Neneh Cherry - The Cherry Thing' ? seriously. y u no mention of it? y u no comment about it from my comments? stunning new jazz album
Quickly flicked through this video and didn't see anything about Playin Me by Cooly G. Was wondering if you'd listened to it, or maybe reviewd it and i've missed it? Might be up your street i reckon. (Why you no feature Cooly G on Y U NO REVIEW?) :)
I'm only 7 minutes into this video, but I like these "bite sized" under developed reviews. Reminds me of the mini review section for albums in music magazines where they just have a paragraph and a rating. I would enjoy more videos in this format in the future. Way to get 2 birds stoned at once.
Now let me ask nicely, what is your opinion on his albums? like production wise and lyrics. I'm here to talk like Gentlemen what is it you don't like about the Odd Future albums?
The problem with things being overproduced aren't that they're overproduced but that they aren't well written enough to be striking without some kind of raw or different production. A cleanly produced album can have just as much character as a Xasthur-esque album or an album produced similarly to Agalloch's "Marrow Of The Spirit", just provided that the song is written well enough. I disagree with Anthony when he says Porcupine Tree is too produced, but agree with most modern metal and rock.
I really like the new LP album. But then again, that's probably my bias of being a fan since their beginning days. I actually prefer the new album over any of the old ones, I think there are a lot of great songs on it, and a few not so great. The one let down for me is the length of all the songs. I hate having a song that's less than 3 mins in length.
Anthony, do you purchase all these albums, are they sent to you, do you leet hax them for free, or what? I'm just jealous of how many albums you have available to you.
I completely agree with you on the DIIV album. I mean it's fun to listen to that reverby shoegaze stuff every once in a while(unknown mortal orchestra) but this album really didn't have much coulour to it at all. That's just me..
Damnnnn you are so on point with your reviews its not funny. No bullshit, no giving artists props based on the hype surrounding them. Thats pretty much why i have come to dislike websites like pitchfork, they review things based on how much hype that is surrounding an artist, rather than how good they ACTUALLY are.
Hey Anthony, as always, respect for your opinions, I just have one question. What is so bad about well produced metal? You say that it sounds mechanical so much so that it is like a machine- one could argue that's part of the intent. Regardless, I'm opposite from you, I can't stand unclearly produced metal- you know, the stuff full of imperfections, feedback and over all random gnarliness. For me, it's because it detracts from the musical prowess. Why listen to an unpolished performance?
Zorak Check out some tracks from Noisia's debut Split the Atom, Neosignal are a bit like Lorn but more aggressive I guess, also Two Fingers/Amon Tobin is great. Culprate's album Deliverance has sort of the same idea behind it as Lorn too
Dolor is the only one that remotely sounds like Lorn that I have come across (no one touches Lorn's deep notes though, bet Melon doesn't have a subwoofer).
im quite surprised at your thoughts on Cattle Decapitation's Monolith of Inhumanity, thought you were gonna like it a lot less just from the production anyways, im glad i did picked up the album, one of my top albums of the year thus far, kinda wished you had Eremita by Ihsahn in this list, but oh well
Idk why but it's weird as fuck that there's a video of his this old up here, BUT HE DELETED THE VIDEO OF HIMSELF COVERING THAT BEACH HOUSE TRACK ON THATISTHEPLAN. That video was gold you guys.
I'm kind of disappointed by the Beach Boys review, not because you were wrong in what you said (in fact I pretty much agree with you), but because I think it at the least deserved a little more elaboration, if only because its the first Beach Boys album in over 20 years, and because their old stuff continues to be extremely influential to the whole world of music.
I have to completely disagree with the Regina Spektor part... to me, her shedding the crazier parts of her music improved it immeasurably. Just compare the old version of Ne Me Quitte Pas to the new one, and tell me which is more interesting and fun.
Shoegaze is sort of an ambient alternative genre. It got it's name from the artists who played shoegaze music constantly staring at their shoes during gigs.
I'll tell you that I think you're wrong about the Beach Boys album. I thought it was quite sincere (lyrically) given their age. Sure they mentioned ideas of getting older and calling it quits on the album, but that's what's on their (or his) mind/s right now. I thought songs like "Spring Vacation" and "Private Life of Bill and Sue" had a sense of wisdom and honesty about their age. I would not say the album is great (or as good as their other albums), but it wasn't excruciating to listen to it.

All I needed to hear was that you thought Linkin Park was skilled, but you just don't like their sound. Thank you.
echo_503 new album was trash
Daniel Diaz who cares, THP was fucking awesome.
I'm the only person I know who agrees with that. Everyone else is all 'how could you not like linkin park'
And he doesn't care about Mike Shinoda and his lyrics............ :')

Miss those days

I'm here to tell you that it's gotten worse

I love lorn.
The Hunting Party though
Dax Ares meh.
william gray I liked it.
Easily there worst album.
@@arin2075 lol did u forget about one more light

Where is cal.
0=0, i believe.
3======0-----🍉
And then in 2014 he didn’t review The Hunting Party which is arguably the best Linkin Park album
The main point to watching these is Cal. Pft!
Review Lorn dude
0-0 (where evil dwells) is a Wiseblood cover, not a Swans cover. Mosimann and Foetus had been working with Swans at the time, though.

Anthony, what happened to Cal?
hes never around :(
I miss him
this is a loooong shot and a bit of nostolgia but could you review any of deadmau5's new tracks he has dropped? i'm interested in what you think.
Diiv's album cover is like my favorite ever. It's perfect.
I love Gambino, but that could just be me defending my love for his acting. Each to their own.
Now let me ask nicely, what is your opinion on his albums? like production wise and lyrics. I'm here to talk like Gentlemen what is it you don't like about the Odd Future albums?

I disagree with Anthony when he says Porcupine Tree is too produced, but agree with most modern metal and rock.
So is reverb like the selective coloring of music? Something used very often, especially by people starting out, but rarely ever actually used well.

How have you still not mentioned Tenacious D Rize of the Fenix at all?
Anthony, do you purchase all these albums, are they sent to you, do you leet hax them for free, or what? I'm just jealous of how many albums you have available to you.
What? Fear Factory covered a Swans song?
I completely agree with you on the DIIV album. I mean it's fun to listen to that reverby shoegaze stuff every once in a while(unknown mortal orchestra) but this album really didn't have much coulour to it at all. That's just me..

Shoegaze is sort of an ambient alternative genre. It got it's name from the artists who played shoegaze music constantly staring at their shoes during gigs.
Are you going to review Magnicifent by Driftless Pony Club?
Can you review Aesop Rock's Skelethon when it drops?
y u no review john mayer? maybe short audio review or something thanks
Dear Mr Fantano,
How would I go about sending you music?
no, that was a Wiseblood song, not a Swans
No Yelawolf or Gambino?
DIIV Is amazing man come on
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Childish Gambino - R O Y A L T Y
I don't think there is a song by Swans called that..
Are you gonna review large professor's new album?
sad though that cal didn't introduce everything like before.
Isn't Cal usually in these? :(
You haven't even reviewed any of Brenoritvrezorkre's music.
isn't Cal usually in these?
Stepdad - Wildlife Pop? I would love to hear your thoughts.
What's weird is that I get a response from Needle drop and he has like 70K + subs.
Dat shit cray.
where is cals corner during the reviews?
Y U NO REVIEW Daughn Gibson?
I can hear Cal banging on that door, demanding to let him in and read you the list of YUNR, lol
Y U NO GIVE CAL SCREEN TIME?

what did you do to cal
i peed, brushed my teeth and washed my face while watching this. that's what happens with 19:43 long videos
where's l'enfant sauvage by gojira??? where's cal??? btw i have to agree with the beach boys album
I understand where you are coming from, Anthony, but never categorize RATM with Linkin Park...please refrain from that in the future...thank you.
except: no Jesca Hoop?
Glad you talked about Cattle Decapitation. I know this came out earlier this year but Whourkr - 4247 Snare Drums
Y u no review Hodgy Beats Untitled EP?
Y U NO REVIEW BURIAL "FOUR WALLS / PARADISE CIRCUS"?
I would have liked to hear you review The Beach Boys considering that you found it excruciating.
"When you get old you stop making interesting music", please let me know if Robert Fripp is the exception to the rule
Y U NO REVIEW Toe - The Future Is Now EP?
please review it
So everything he hasn't reviewed and don't take up here is still close to be reviewed?
