wow, almost 14 minutes. very thorough and detailed review with both constructive criticism and well thought out praise. I can see you put a lot of time and care into reviewing this record, which is especially good for the careers of smaller, independent artists like alex. in fact, your forced witness review is what brought alex to my attention in the first place, one of many artists I've been introduced to and fallen in love with through your channel. Unsubscribed.
I read this before I went to work today and when i got there, it was all I could think about all shift, just imagining the ridiculous ways in which Alex Cameron could make Anthony seem really slimy in a dance pop comedic tone, it's fucking maddening, thank you, Jesus
Yesss, didn't expect an 8, clearly not fantastic as Force Witness but still contain some of his best works. Strong 7 for me Edit: Now it's an 8. Damn this album is a grower
Anthony, "Divorce" isn't about his current relationship. It's about his girl's previous marriage and written from her point of view. That's why he is able to write those lyrics without fear of "regretting" them later.
Yeah I think he's underestimating how much he is still playing characters in this. Step Dad and End is Nigh also are based on experiences and friends but clearly not just his own sincere thoughts
This review also has more talk about the actual artist than a lot of Fantano reviews, which I’m happy about. Even if it’s just a reaction to the “where the (insert here) review?!?” Seeing people prop Alex Cameron up is still nice to see.
I’m so glad you’re still reviewing Alex Cameron’s records. I’ve been waiting for 2 years and a half / 3 years for him getting more attention, he deserves it!
End is Nigh is a so-so track? That song was a gut punch, my favorite besides Divorce. The lyrics on the outro are underwhelming but the visual of a man on the brink of suicide in a world on its last legs is incredibly powerful imo. AlCam at his most hopeless for sure, big fan of how much heart he puts into the vocals too.
I'm kind of upset with myself i left this record in the store for three weeks buying up shit that was disappearing at a quicker pace. This record is absolutely a joy.
Alex Cameron is just great all around. Definitely go see him live if you get the chance. He puts on an absolutely fantastic show. So much charisma and is hilarious as well.
album review requests for the rest of September: Exhorder - Mourn The Southern Skies, As I Lay Dying - Shaped By Fire, and Seeyouspacecowboy - The Correlation Between Entrance And Exit Wounds. Keep the loud rock reviews going Melon! Thank You!
"Sometimes I find myself contemplating What my life could be like after you've left me And it's a dark place But in that place, for a brief moment I understand how the men from your past feel They feel pathetic for having lost someone so unique What I can't understand is how they treat you How they let their own feelings of shame and disappointment in themselves obscure the truth The truth that you're a good mother The truth that your children love and admire you And have nothing to be afraid of when they're in your presence The truth that you're an artist, you're an actor And a motherfucking powerhouse So if you're worried that this could all come undone Because of something you did or said And might come back to haunt you I don't care about your past I don't care about how many times you've lied to save face Or to protect yourself I only care that you're mine for as long as you're around And for as long as that's in the cards Then, sweet one You could never go too far" -love this ending gosh. this album consumed my whole energy - danced a lot and left me emotionally wrecked. ❤️
You didn't talk about that absolutely stunning "UGH!" in Bad for the Boys but I'll let slide because we're clearly on the same page about how wonderful and funny this record is.
Least fave track Other Ladies, even whilst identifying that sweet Dylan-ness - you're a mad man, but I love you. Thanks for the thoughtful thoughts per usual
HE'LL GET TO PEGGY, GOOD LORD. Maybe give the new AlCam a try, you might like it! It's so annoying to see everyone just bellyaching about why Anthony hasn't reviewed a certain album yet. He'll get to it. I liked the new Peggy, but this album is worth your time too.
Melon, do you ever plan to review any foreign album? I might suggest "Melograno" by "Claver Gold", i think that is one of the greatest italian rap album of all time, and my italian favourite album ever!

Give that man his shirt back or else I’m calling the cops, Antknee
Anthony is a character from an Alex Cameron song.
I read this before I went to work today and when i got there, it was all I could think about all shift, just imagining the ridiculous ways in which Alex Cameron could make Anthony seem really slimy in a dance pop comedic tone, it's fucking maddening, thank you, Jesus
Best comment of all time
Might as well call it Classics Week with the reviews melon’s about to drop
Seriously for real tho
Peggy and whatelse?
@@sokar9438 Alex G or Charli perhaps
Luke Cherchenko danny brown is dropping right?
@@user-fs1lc2cj5s october 4th boi
I’m glad you liked the album but you didn’t have to go on a rant on how Rap isn’t music
How dare he claim Rap isn't music, that would mean Peppa Pig isn't music and Anthony doesn't want to answer to a 7 foot 1 inch tall Peppa Pig
Anthony’s father was a music theorist who went to music school and you’re going to try to discredit him? Disgusting!
Hey! Anthony's father was a music theorist, he should know
Ironically I got a Ben Shapiro ad before watching this
@Proxy Effect Cringing with Ben, as well as his recent video on Ben's take on rap music, lmao
Alex Cameron is dope !! Who else agrees ? 👀
Yesssir
i agree! man has classics
Yep! See him live if you can. It’s a great time.
@@HotStrange juSt DiD on friDay anD it waS amazing
T Lysergicaciddiethylamide nice! Saw him after Forced Witness came out and it was a blast.
I'm genuinely surprised by this 8/10. I was bracing myself for a solid 5 or 6 from melon.
Same, this was a delightful surprise!
Blui129 Agree. Forced Witness is better, imo, but both are great.
I lowkey feel bad for Alex Cameron because people only care about the JPEGMAFIA review
Ryan McCourt Also the Charli review
Hot take: I liked Miami Memory more than All my Heroes
Scrungus they’re about equal to me at the moment. I’d choose the Peggy album if I had to, though. Maybe. Idk fuck.
@@Scrungusss Jpeg is overrated as fuck
Not anymore
Yesss, didn't expect an 8, clearly not fantastic as Force Witness but still contain some of his best works. Strong 7 for me
Edit: Now it's an 8. Damn this album is a grower
It is a grower. Damn. So subtle
Before I clicked to see the end of your comment I was just gunna ask you has it grown on you yet haa, it definitely is a grower.
I love this guy one of my favorite artists
Everyone chill Peggy deserves more digestion before a review anyway
Le Kitty
Um hello your not a spammer where have you been
I've never been as excited in anticipation for a TND review... Shawn Cee has a pretty good review out though. 10/10
That album needs 5 full listens. Its fucking amazing every time.
you're absolutely right my dude
Chris P. Bacon 5? I think it deserves a lifetime of listens I’ll be playing it for years
If you listen to stepdad then studmuffin96 in that order you basically get 2/3rds of lolita
This should be the top comment lmao
That's fucked lol
How to get a yellow flannel:
Be an experimental rap trio
Be an Australian man
Or an Australian band. King Gizzard and Tropical Demonitized Storm
Thank you for introducing me to new music
And is it just me, or does it sound like he's slapping the kid in I'm a step dad?
@@KevalPrajapatiSS just u
@@harveyawesome thanks...I was just checking how high I was when I listened to it
Keval Prajapati lmao
Okay cool but can you review the new Alex Cameron record
Anthony, "Divorce" isn't about his current relationship. It's about his girl's previous marriage and written from her point of view. That's why he is able to write those lyrics without fear of "regretting" them later.
Yeah I think he's underestimating how much he is still playing characters in this. Step Dad and End is Nigh also are based on experiences and friends but clearly not just his own sincere thoughts
Found Alex Cameron through Fantano and THANK YOU. The man is a sleaze-core legend.
I love jpeg but this comment section toxic
@ND Freak he is.
I’ve been listening to Devon since 2013, I hate seeing this shit
This review also has more talk about the actual artist than a lot of Fantano reviews, which I’m happy about. Even if it’s just a reaction to the “where the (insert here) review?!?” Seeing people prop Alex Cameron up is still nice to see.
Got the notification and saw the flannel and title and I smelt an 8/10, Fantano really giving lots of 8’s
Same thing everyone gives when they ask people to like their status for a rate
Except for the Chance album lmao
Same
I’m so glad you’re still reviewing Alex Cameron’s records. I’ve been waiting for 2 years and a half / 3 years for him getting more attention, he deserves it!
Better keep that yellow flannel clean for Peggy melon
"Very so-so End Is Nigh"
*has End Is Nigh in FAV TRACKS*
Anthony, what are you telling me?
This moment of the interview shocked me, one of my favorite songs on the album! It encapsulates all of the qualities he spoke fondly of in the review.
@@pertminus Yes, it's a fantastic song. The music is great, and the lyrics are hilariously written.
Yessir, I agree with everything you’ve said. Alex keeps on progressing in new and exciting ways. The lyrics are still as sharp as ever!
End is Nigh is a so-so track? That song was a gut punch, my favorite besides Divorce. The lyrics on the outro are underwhelming but the visual of a man on the brink of suicide in a world on its last legs is incredibly powerful imo. AlCam at his most hopeless for sure, big fan of how much heart he puts into the vocals too.
I loved it to, internet bloke
I'm kind of upset with myself i left this record in the store for three weeks buying up shit that was disappearing at a quicker pace.
This record is absolutely a joy.
Are we really just going to highjack other reviews to spam “where’s the new Peggy album review melon?” Come on gais.
this happens every time lmfao
Alex Cameron is just great all around. Definitely go see him live if you get the chance. He puts on an absolutely fantastic show. So much charisma and is hilarious as well.
Thanks Anthony, never heard of Alex before but I checked him out thanks to this review. Really like him! Way to gooooo
That’s a weird way to spell “JPEGMAFIA - ALL MY HEROES ARE 10/10”
i cant imagine a lower score for that album
@@Aaaaaa2_3 more like 10/100 tho, disappointing is a fitting description
@@ducking7277 why? still love you though
Strong 6. I feel like I'm the only only who doesn't like that album lol don't kill me
@connrrs it's a meme made by JPEGMAFIA himself. He said that his newest album, AMHAC, will disappoint.
Vids like this are the reason I subscribe. Never heard of this guy before, now I'm hooked
ALL MY HEROES ARE CORNBALLS + SUPERMARKET = 11/10
Fantano mustache lookin like he been snorting shavings from a pencil sharpener
Day 140 of acknowledging that Anthony that Anthony makes good videos
that Anthony
I love you, Melon. Keep up the good work!

Can't wait for PNGMadea to get a light 6 like you guys have been anticipating
I'm so glad Melon liked Cameron Mitchell's posthumous release, "Tums festival" so much.
"Sometimes I find myself contemplating
What my life could be like after you've left me
And it's a dark place
But in that place, for a brief moment
I understand how the men from your past feel
They feel pathetic for having lost someone so unique
What I can't understand is how they treat you
How they let their own feelings of shame and disappointment in themselves obscure the truth
The truth that you're a good mother
The truth that your children love and admire you
And have nothing to be afraid of when they're in your presence
The truth that you're an artist, you're an actor
And a motherfucking powerhouse
So if you're worried that this could all come undone
Because of something you did or said
And might come back to haunt you
I don't care about your past
I don't care about how many times you've lied to save face
Or to protect yourself
I only care that you're mine for as long as you're around
And for as long as that's in the cards
Then, sweet one
You could never go too far"
-love this ending
gosh. this album consumed my whole energy - danced a lot and left me emotionally wrecked. ❤️
I spoke with Alex Cameron and Roy Malloy during their Alcamathon 🤗 8/10!!! Good to hear it!
Antnee: end is nigh is so so
Also Antnee: FAV TRACKS END IS NIGH
Everything on here is so fun to sing along with. The closing track perfectly caps the album and chills you out
weird way of spelling All My Heroes Are Cornballs but ok
William301 What’s that?
actually comment about the subject of the video challenge
Kameron Owens not sure if you’re being sarcastic but its JPEGMAFIA’s latest album and its extremely disappointing 11/10
@@KamKenobi it's the new JPEGMAFIA Album. Fans are gonna be dickeating until he reviews it.
William301 Literally never heard anything from jpegmafia
Anthony, you can't dodge the cops forever. Pay Mom the alimony already.
Still waiting on Peggy getting the first ever 11
weird way of spelling "CHANCE THE RAPPER - THE BIG DAY REDUX REVIEW"
Daniel Barreto what’s he gonna give it? A negative 3?
Strong 11
a 1 was way too harsh
@@cheekybananaboy3361 It didn't even get a 1. It got a 0
it slaps and it claps!
Anthony this is your best review since the last Alex Cameron review which was a 10 by the way
Really great review Anthony, you should start a youtube channel or something.
You didn't talk about that absolutely stunning "UGH!" in Bad for the Boys but I'll let slide because we're clearly on the same page about how wonderful and funny this record is.
Very in depth and thoughtful review. Thanks melon
SOMEONE has been playing Borderlands 3
You keep giving everything an 8 because you forgot what the other numbers are
He had like 50 6s this year, I thought that was the only number he knew about
Listened in and it sounds like my new record to dig
'End is Nigh' is a great song, love the lyrics on that one!
WhAt A wAy To Sp-you know what im not gonna finish it you guys already know
Shocked. Thought for sure you’d hate it
I saw Alex Cameron live at a Killers concert, had no idea who he was at the time and I just loved his dancing
going to be checking this out soon
Really nice and extensive review. Al definitely leaves room for a lot of talking points on his albums though.
Anthony, your bald head is making the eyes of the Danny Brown vinyl eyes water.
Great review Anthony, but did you really have to give Peggy’s new album a light 6?
I know everyone be beggin for AMHAC but can you please review the fall of hobo Johnson
It’s like dude is realizing how brilliant it is as he tries to downplay it lol
I was so worrying you'd hate this based on the weekly track roundups
Melon, wheres the All My Heroes are Cornballs Review?
Melon looking hot and yellow like the sun in that flannel
Least fave track Other Ladies, even whilst identifying that sweet Dylan-ness - you're a mad man, but I love you. Thanks for the thoughtful thoughts per usual
This is not All my hero’s are cornballs... smarten up Anthony
I thought this was mid asf but now I gotta love it
Jumping the Shark is by far my favorite Al Cam record.
Wow what a great throwback review of Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" record. Proud of you Melon.
Review Common's Album Let Love!
YELLOW FOR PEGGY
Any thoughts on Tinariwen's new album Amajdar. Surprised you haven't reviewed any of their stuff, it's just awesome.
HE'LL GET TO PEGGY, GOOD LORD. Maybe give the new AlCam a try, you might like it! It's so annoying to see everyone just bellyaching about why Anthony hasn't reviewed a certain album yet. He'll get to it. I liked the new Peggy, but this album is worth your time too.
I liked Forced Witness, but I'm not necessarily craving more Alex Cameron at this point. I'll check out the album soon, tho.
Melon, do you ever plan to review any foreign album? I might suggest "Melograno" by "Claver Gold", i think that is one of the greatest italian rap album of all time, and my italian favourite album ever!
"Eatin' your ass like an oyster, the way you came like a tsunami." When I first heard Miami Memory that blindsided me. Dead
Woah was not expecting this
I haven't watched the review yet, but I'm guessing, just from melons political views, that the boys is one of his favourite tracks. Let's see.
The Voidz "Tyranny" should have been a 10.
Hope I'm not the only guy to say this, but how about a review of Jerkcurb's Air Con Eden?
The Danny brown xxx hype for the past couple reviews
Wasn’t expecting this to be higher than Forced Witness, but either way I hope this leads to more exposure for Alex
This album guaranteed my love for synthpop will never die. Also can you guys calm the fuck down? The Peggy review is coming.
wait a minute melon usually has 2 reviews in a row wearing a flannel
does this mean
Yo Clapthony, I guarantee it's no trap, listen to Valasse Eruva's album Ascending Phoenix and you won't be borederlands!
Please consider reviewing Both-And by Luke Temple
I thought you were gonna hate this
Rating is fair, I love it though and have a sentimental attachment to it so its at least a 9 for me
i adore alex cameron thanks for reviewing
Are we getting the new Chelsea Wolfe album review? Would be nice to hear your input.
Could you please review Sam Fender's debut?
text me when you’re here Melon I really need my pencil case back
Plus Alex Cameron played in Seekae!
a comment regarding JPEGMAFIA
Bro PLEASE do a review on operation mindcrime
Where’s the Charli review though??? I’m almost certain it will be a 7 or 8 but I’m excited to hear your thoughts.
Now I know you been playing Borderlands 3
PLEASE GIVE ANOTHER 10 OH GOD
