Not without the transcendent highs you'd expect from Kamasi, but pretty inconsistent overall.

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

It's okay to be wrong
yes but its not ok to pretend like lemon twigs doesn't exist just cuz 4AD wouldn't give melon 2K for reviewing "everything harmony."
Melon missed big time here
Yeah I don’t know what he’s talking about this album is unique, divers, punchy, and enjoyable. Honestly thought he would have given it at least a light 8. Id rate it about an 8.8/10
Watch this shit drop 10 points on AOTY now
If brad gives a similar score it will drop by 10 too
@@dudemuja8293 Brad gave it a 90 dw
Hot take: if fantano never existed community forums would rate albums exactly how online critics would on media publications. also not only that but the middle ground between good and bad would also be nearly nonexistent
@@mpy6273 🙏
So true. Its basically his site at this point. U a user?
wow, his most controversial review of the year is already here
Not controversial
@@JIMY414 clearly it is based on these comments
CLANCY it's going To Be controversial too.
@@JIMY414 this album is like a decent to strong 9 if u haven't listened yet
Yeah I can’t decide if the St. Vincent or this take is worse
Turn the 6 upside down, it's a 9 now
But the 9 for The Epic also gets flipped, it's a 6 now :(
Thanks for the spoiler
@@CrypticlyEncrypted comment section = spoilers this should be common knowledge by now
DEVIL IS A LIE HE A 69 GOD

Forming my own opinion first has never felt better.
Wrongthony Wrongtano here
A 6 is criminal ngl
The 6 for Heaven and Earth was even more criminal
I definitely wouldn't give it a 6 but I'd call it a 7 or maybe 8, there are a couple tracks that just don't gel for me (especially Asha the First) and it could stand to be trimmed some because it doesn't vary enough musically to justify the long 1h26m runtime in my opinion. It can be pretty fatiguing to listen to all the way through in one shot.
@@theheresiarch3740 asha the first is like the best song on it
@@theheresiarch3740 we did not listen to the same song brodie
@@yesmk000
It's a great song with some really mediocre bars that distract from the master class going on in the instrumental.
Honestly, I thought this album was absolutely amazing and a 9/10, but after watching this I now think it’s merely decent enough at a 6/10. Thanks, Melon.
Hahahahaha
he is wrong tho
welcome back MBDTF
the mbdtf of jazz reviews :(
You would've given it a NOT GOOD if it's called "Hairless Movememt"
I don't get this one ngl, best album of the year by a long shot for me
agree!
Potential album of the year
Another tragic fantano 6/10, thank you egg.
I hear Kamasi, Washington is pretty this time of year.
You would have gave it a 10 if it was called Melonless
To me, it felt like kamasi maybe played it a bit safe on a lot of the tracks. Still, a 6 is a bit too harsh melon
the jazz rap songs are amazing imo and some of the most intricate jazz rap fusion I’ve ever heard
I like how everyone is saying “you’re wrong” or “6 is too low” yet they don’t explain why. Like ignore the score and explain what exactly you disagree with in the review.
Because a number is all that matters to them and not the actuall opinions given in the video. Just a regular day of Fantano fans being shallow
me personally bro i just like the way this album made me feel
its not like the best jazz album technically or objectively but it was a fun listen. i wont say fantano is wrong because all music is subjective, but i do disagree with his thoughts here
@@Yayday4evr that’s fine you’re allowed to disagree with him, what I feel like pepople can’t do is blantantly disrespect or disregard him or his criticisms because they can’t agree, you can disagree without having to be a dick about it which unfortunately is something fantanos fans are yet to understand.
Ok I disagree with him but the best argument I’m going to make is to tell people to listen to the album themselves. Then ask them if they would seriously give that a 6/10. Easiest argument
@@jasondecember673 I mean you haven’t really given an argument, you’ve just told someone to form their own opinion on it. What if they agree with Anthony? What if they think it’s bad? Like I said give actual arguments instead of implying that Anthony’s being contrarian for giving a score threat isn’t even bad.
I think 6~7 is a fair score.
set such a high standard that none of his works surpassed it after that.
I have never disagreed with you as much as I do here
Strongly disagree Mr melon man
Hey this isn’t the lemon twigs
Yeah, I dunno if I agree with this review. I can see where a lot of the points are coming from, but to my ears, the "inconsistencies" are what made the album. Each track felt like it had different movements and arcs that kept me engaged through the entire experience. I agree with a decent amount of Fantano reviews but this one was a miss for me.
Definitely more coherent than their last project. An unexpected release, but a welcome entry and one of the best Jazz releases in the last decade.
No lol, maybe one of the best of the year so far, only maybe though
@@luismgoncalves source: trust my biased opinion, bruh
@DefenestrateYourself
As opposed to the first comment which is verifiable fact?
Name a better jazz album in the last Decade
@@bmant123I can give you a few from this year alone I think are better, a decade would be too easy
Maruja - Connla's Well: love the blend of jazz and punk
Julian Lage - Speak To Me: explores a variety of different without ever leaving the jazz umbrella
Amaro Freitas - Y'Y: some of the best piano you'll hear, let alone in jazz
Jacob Anderskov - I Sang: a little more classic live album
u aint feeling it?
Even tho I personally disagree with this rating, people need to remember that you don’t go to a review to get your beliefs reinforced, you go for an opinion that you might disagree with.
That again being said, Fantano your WRONG
Curious what u think about the new uncle acid and the deadbeats record?
All a matter of taste y'all. I found this one easier to listen to than Epic, maybe the length or the tone is more palatable.
I got to see him live and meet him Friday night. He killed it was a great show
Everyone is so mad at Anthony they didn't notice Cal has gone missing again
Wow… St.Vincent, Eunuchus and now Kamasi… DID YOU DECIDE TO RATE ALL MY FAVS A 5 OR 6!?
When are you reviewing the new Mount Kimbie album?
Not controversial if everyone is unanimously against you
Asha the first is such a creative and jazz heavy piece of jazz rap
yessss bro
ANTHONEY FANDANGO REALLY FELL OFF WITH THIS ONE
WHAAAAAAAT 6?
this one of those reviews to pop up in a short in 2 years
I agree with Melon here - I liked the lead-up tracks, and some but not all of what I heard so far of the rest of the album.
Though I'd give it more than a 6, if I cared about number rankings. I guess I agree with much of what Fantano said, except my overall impression is more favorable than his.
Yeah, same here. It's a good record, but it's starting to sound like Kamasi is on autopilot.
I swear none of melons reviews hit anymore😢 this sexy redd era of needle drop is crazzzyyyy
I see where you're coming from Melon but this is a decent 9 for me
i don’t need to see the dislikes to know this is controversial
thanks brother for recommending my EP
Just because it took 6 years to come out doesn’t mean it’s a 6 you silly little goose.
Where is the new Shabaka Hutchings album review? :c
Fantano what did you think of Bubbles by Bear1Boss?
I was thinking a 7 or higher, I like this album.
excellent album, and it's always exciting to see an Andre 3k feature
Fantano are you okay?? A 6???
"wrongthany wrongtano here"
we gonna need that kings of leon review now. plz and thanks
REVIEW THE RAP ALBUM CALLED "THE HOLLYWOOD LIFE" BY RAP ARTIST "DSJ" FROM LOS ANGELES.
Fearless Delusion
don’t worry anthony, there’s still time for this to grow on you before the 2024 top album list 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
We’re just not gonna get that Lemon Twigs review are we?
new Lemon twigs review when?????>?>?>?>?>?>
since 4AD wouldn't give 2K to melon for reviewing "everything harmony" he's pretended they don't exist through allll these awesome singles of all the tracks-of-the-week episodes he's done this year. genuinely upset.
8
Well now how do you feel after he posted the lemon twigs review@@jennydeaf9O9
Fearless Movement sounds like a big trip to the bathroom!
Idk man, I think the switch up of styles amongst these tracks is great for keeping things fresh. Kamasi really ran his sound into the ground with his last LP and incorporating the different features and sounds into this album proved some fantastic versatility. I didn't want another Epic, and I'm glad he took a risk here
When’s the 4batz album review coming out
Asha the first #1 song of all time
Man, it's at least strong 7
theneedledrop Thoughts on (any of) the following albums melon?
Conway the Machine - Slant Face Killah
Ghostface Killah - Set The Tone (Guns & Roses)
Gunna - One of Wun
Chief Keef - Almighty So 2
Childish Gambino - Atavista
Well, despite this review, I still think Kamasi has some sax-y tunes.
His 2017 6 track EP Harmony of difference is incredible but often gets missed because its not an album.
Seeing him tomorrow!!!!
Album of the year!
broadcast review when
Bongripper’s new record Empty review ?
Thank god, as a person that regularly listens to jazz I'm glad there is some validation that this is an average album. I'd personally give it a 5 but Fantano's take is very fair
You’re certainly entitled to that creative opinion 🫡
@@DefenestrateYourself if you want some jazz recommendations I can give them, no problem
I think this album is quite remarkable
Damn, not even an 8?
Incredible that this and the lemon twigs’s album dropped the same day, both aoty contenders
why are we not getting Lemon Twigs Review?
That Comp Love cover is Epic.
Too late Melon, I have already formed my opinion on this album
fantano never fails to suprise me
Hi how's it going watching from Broomfield Colorado
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO NOT GIVING A FUCK ABOUT HIS REVIEWS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
would you see kamasi live Anthony
I'd say light 7 but this is fair
Jazz for people who don't like jazz
Mediocre saxophonist
Bland "spiritual" atmosphere
Idk man… I’m sure there’s some bad Jazz records out there… not everything about the album is perfect…a “6” doesn’t mean terrible, but this is a pretty exceptional album Kamasi’s made. Obviously The Epic is his magnum opus..this is still great tho.
I like how 6 is an above average review and people still go mental. You don't need external validation to justify liking an album just shut up and enjoy it
That's what always amazes me about this community, ppl still take his musical opinions that personal.
statistically his average score is a 6, so not really above average, just the positive part of average
I think it’s more the shock when fantano seems to have the vision of an album go over his head, then it’s like why do we even give him credibility as a reviewer?
@@jasondecember673 wdym, he's just a guy on the internet that talks about his opinions on music. Sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't. Not every project connects with everyone, and that's fine. It's not like his scores mean anything like... objective, about the music.
If you received a 6 out of 10 on a final exam, would you feel good about that? Bless your little heart though 🫡
I agree its a 6ish.. I haven't purchased anything after The Epic .. but still looking forward to his next lp.
Can you please review the new My Dying Bride or Hamferd.
My bowels made fearless movements when I saw your face Anthony Cutetano
We need to make Fantano learn the sax so he can give this album a nine
I loved it personally. Especially Dream State with Andre 3000
Idea for fantano man:
Rank every 0 you've ever given from bad to worst
I wonder if he even listens to albums more than once. All do respect, over my years of perceiving art one thing I’ve learned is that I cannot fully form an opinion until I’ve witnessed said art more than once. This album has only gotten better the more I’ve listened to it, and Melon’s criticism’s just don’t make sense to me at all. I would’ve taken a 7, a 6 is just disrespectful.
He does listen to it more than one time
When is Rachel chinouriri album review
New darkthrone record, review plz?
ya, i like it more than you, but i don't really see what all the fuss is about. I'm not the biggest smooth jazz/ cool jazz guy tho and there's def some of that on here. It just has this self-awareness and insistence that i've found on the recent jazz stuff i've checked out. I was very disappointed by this album. I love Shibuboshi and Prologue gave me a lot of that plus a touch of headhunters.
I completely disagree with Anthony about Computer Love, the song feels almost like it's eulogizing Roger as DJ Battlecat was a friend of his and this cover has a very somber yet powerful tone to it. I feel like with that thought process in mind the song feels a lot more coherent for the style of the album by treating the vocals as a texture, not something contributing to The narrative of the song.
Yeah no that’s a bad take. Album of the year so far
Agreed….high hopes dashed to land an spotty
Well Melon, I was getting upset, but when at the end you said "...And that was my best prank, this album is actually a 10" I gotta say you really got us
This is a 9 what are you talking about, there was one miss
Not just a 6/10, but you only gave Kamasi five minutes for the review? This channel has gone downhill quick!
and pretends that lemon twigs doesn't exist cuz their label wouldn't "donate" 2K to the show for the free press of last year's release.
@@jennydeaf9O9 why TF you have that as a pfp?? Scared me for a sec
Still waiting on Lemon Twigs
I screamed out in public, dropped down to both of my knees and tore my shirt off, thanks anthony.
I really wanted to like this one, but I didn’t really care for it much. The disappointment of this one has got me craving some good jazz. I guess it’s time to finally listen to The Epic.
