    In Mouth Silence there are a ton of stealth references to Smash Mouth.
    1. On the album cover, Neil's got his finger and his thumb in the shape of an L. Yes, I just quoted All Star lyrics.
    2. If look at the metadata comments of the files, you'll see letters. Arrange the songs in alphabetical order and the letters read out "SO MUCH 2 DO SO MUCH 2 SEE".
    3. The metadata says all the song files in the album were created the same day that All Star released.
    4. In Wndrwll, during the silence before the backwards lyrics is an extremely quiet "some" from All Star.
    5. In Piss, the beeping during the middle is morse code that translates to "SOME BODY ONCE TOLD ME".
    6. In Transmission, the sequence of numbers in the middle is ASCII that translates to "SMASH MOUTH".
    7. Tracks 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, and 19 have what sounds like deep, bassy wind noises. Speed the noises up by about 1600x and you get a quiet rendition of All Star.
    IIRC the numbers in Numbers translates to something Smash Mouth related, but I can't remember right now and I'm about to fall asleep at my computer anyway so I can't take a look right now.

    He actually hid Smashmouth samples into Mouth Silence
    If you speed up most of the tracks in Mouth Silence, you will find a very short sample from All Star that was played in the background so slowly, it was completely undetectable at normal speeds.
    For instance, if you speed up Wndrwll very quickly, you will hear the iconic "SOME" from the first line of All Star hidden in it played quietly.

    Glad that you mentioned how the "terrible" parts are all part of the experience. I would say that "Imma Let It Be" is probably more commentary than an actual attempt to make the songs work together, at the expense of Will.I.Am (and probably a subtle jab at "The Time"). That said, the drop around the last 50 seconds kicks ass.

    I never comment on videos but this tidbit was too cool to not share: at 2:30 ish in the song "Piss" off Mouth Silence, there's a bit of synth that works as morse code. It translates to... wait for it... "some body once told me"
    my mind was blown.

    • @patrickfoley9093
      @patrickfoley9093 10 лет назад +4

      Digging into it deeper... if you download the tracks from his MEGA upload, the comments in the track metadata are a jumble that solves to "so much 2 do so much 2 see" and the "date modified" tag is the day that All-Star was released. the album art is his "finger and thumb in the shape of an L"
      There isn't less All-Star on mouth silence, there's more of it.

      These two records feel, to me at least, like a Weird Al polka medley in a slightly altered execution method and extended to the length of and album (especially because there's a handful of songs sampled by Neil, that Al also did use i his medleys). And that's absolutely awesome

    Personal favorite moments:
    - Right after the Smash Mouth-Full House mashup when the music drops out and the vocals from Alanis Morrissette's "Ironic" come in and linger unaccompanied for a bit... and you realize it's in the same key as the Full House melody before... and you wonder if he has the audacity... and then yes, right at the chorus the sax comes back in while Alanis wails and Neil loops her gasp of "youuu" way longer than is comfortable just to extend the moment.
    - On the intro to Mouth Silence when the vocals first become recognizable as "Semi-Charmed Life" and then the instrumental bursts immediately into "I've Seen All Good People" by Yes, and Jon Anderson joins in the "doot doot doot" chorus across the gulf of decades.
    Also I think that "Sexual Lion King" is justified solely on the merit of the changed context of the "wake up, wake up, get up, get up" at the beginning. Though perhaps he could have left that part alone as an interlude.

    4:52 During the last verse of All Star (somebody once asked "could I spare some change for gas") he extends the instrumentals at that section - they're usually shorter. Otherwise, I think you're right that no other adjustments were made.

    What do ya think of "Vivid Memory's turn to fantasies"? That was one of my personal favorites from the two. I'm pumped beyond belief for the next Lemon Demon album thanks to the few single releases (Redesign your logo, Reganomics, and As your father I expressly forbid it) but I hope Neil keeps with the mash-ups as well. Nice review!

  • @nob2243
    @nob2243 6 лет назад +4

    These two records feel, to me at least, like a Weird Al polka medley in a slightly altered execution method and extended to the length of and album (especially because there's a handful of songs sampled by Neil, that Al also did use i his medleys). And that's absolutely awesome

  • @CherriNGT

    my personal favorite is Mouth Silence’s mix of It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) from REM and We Didn’t Start The Fire from Billy Joel (aka Space Monkey Mafia). Idk what it is I just adore it.

  • @michaelmcelligott5074
    @michaelmcelligott5074 10 лет назад +1

    Hi Anthony,
    I noticed right @4:11 you said that the sample from All Star was used to create a unique, original, epic melody to kick the entire record off. If you meant that facetiously then please ignore this comment, but if not, then your statement is incorrect. That melody is actually not an original, it's the start of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, the first Promenade movement. The entire first minute and a half of "Mouth Sounds" is an arrangement of that piece, until you hear the Modest Mouse sample kick in.
    Just thought you'd like to know for accuracy.

  • @magicemperor2420
    @magicemperor2420 9 лет назад +1

    The Tears in Chocolate Rain track is, hands down, my absolute *FAVORITE* track between the two albums. Nobody else I know agrees, but I think it's incredible. I listen to it, not even ironically. Glad to see it focused on in your review!

    I'm a little bummed that you didn't share your thoughts on "Best", my favorite track off of Mouth Silence. It has the most eclectic mix of samples (along with "Numbers"), not to mention the vocal scatting and synth riffs really drive the whole thing smoothly!

    great albums. surprised a little bit you didn't mention the sort of nostalgia factor going on. neil's obviously pulling from his childhood, tons of 90's material. i could honestly see the possibility of some people just not "getting" it because they weren't from the same generation and don't have these songs/references/sounds embedded somewhere deep in their psyche, so it just sounds.... annoying. thanks for turning me onto this, mr. fantano

    The reason why the original "fuck yous"s aren't in the Closer remix is because he gets most of his stems from a an enormous folder on Mega.co.nz of stems stripped from Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Because these games have a T rating, the more obscene swears are already edited out. I've been toying around with a bunch of these stems, and it's fun to pretend that I'm almost as good as him when I make an awful remix of something like In Bloom and Fireflies.

    I think the 'imma let it be' is intentionally abhorrent. its his (maybe a little snobbish but funny) way to critique crass modern... RnB(?) musical tropes. McCartney's iconic vocals are immediately followed by clap trap about "chillin with the crew!" and "lookin all fly and shit!" and then the Let it be tune is totally drowned out half way through by the garbage.
