It's better than the vinyl version. One of the sides is literally just 'Monster' on an entire 33rpm side. Like 3/4 of the wax isn't even used for no reason
@@mushroomlad6233 yeah but it didn't even include the fall. I don't own the original album vinyls so would have been the target audience for it, yet even I felt it was an absolute rip off for the price.
@@johngray9314 The Fall is not a studio album, it was recorded while touring. It was made because Damon was signed for 2 albums with his label. It is not a main album. The set also costs less than if you were to buy each album individually, how is it a ripoff? You could just not buy it also.
@@Spagneti Definitely not "stans" or long-term fans such as yourself. Imagine getting into a band for the first time and then a convenient boxset containing the 6 main studio albums from that band becomes available.
@@ludwigii9329 I thought it was hidden because it's just not on streaming and there's no mention of it at all outside of the track listing which is surprising. I would normally expect like a sticker about it or something when you buy it
small story: i am the guy who actually tries to collect CDs. The reason is that for a student who doesn't work (no free time) a vinyl with an average price of $40 - $60 (at least in my country, which is Russia) is too much. CDs would cost me about $4 - $15, but the thing is that no one buys CDs, you cannot find what you want almost anywhere. My collection is 31 discs right now (with the latest addition of Bjork's Vespertine, yay), and yeah, it is hard to find what I really want to have, especially if it is new music, because no one needs CDs. What is funny is that I don't even have a CD drive (as an equivalent to a vinyl record player), I just like to own an album I really enjoy. Also, a chance of buying a counterfeit CD is high, unlike vinyls. Sometimes I really question myself, is it all really worthy then, and maybe I am an idiot, and maybe I should save money for a record player and begin buying vinyls - slowly, deliberately...decently. Sometimes I don't. So yeah, seeing a collection like this truly warms my heart - and ears (genuinely enjoy more than a half of presented albums) - but also feeds my jealousy and makes me feel sad and miserable sometimes.
I don't like how despite the fact I've known he's always been sitting for a while now, it still catches me off guard every time he pulls the camera back.
The moment I saw the SOPHIE record a wave of sadness hit me. I, like many others had a very profound reaction to that album and years after I still go back to it, both in moments of raw joy but also reflective, more muted periods. She will be missed.
You wake up in the middle of the night, the lights are out and there's a storm outside. You turn to your left and see Fantano glare into your very fucking soul. He sees right through you. His teeth, razor sharp and white reflect the moonlight onto your mortified face. He reaches his hands up near you as you shriek in horror, not able to anticipate the terror that awaits. Then he simply starts rotating the music box at 24:08 and he whispers "I'm not fucking around with you, I am not fucking around with you"
I got myself Modern Baseball's "You're gonna miss it all" and for my friend's birthday "De Stijl" by The white stripes on vinyl today! I think he will be excited. Y'all have a great one :)
@@Evatyl well I mean he gave it a Light 8 when he initially reviewed it. I’d like to think that he thinks it’s a decent - strong 8 now? (Or maybe even a light 9? 👀)
Oh shoot! I had been watching the old Vinyl Updates for fun today and yesterday, didn't expect a new one so soon but it's a nice surprise. Love seeing all the records you get
I like Anthony at a desk. Makes him seem more professional. He should wear a tie too. And keep a stack of papers that he periodically picks up and neatens
gorillaz never needs to go as hard as they do - that's what makes it great (live, they had all the rappers, musicians, and symphonies that were on the album)
I completely forgot how Melon got the CD of MBDTF: it was sent by a fan wanting it to not be a 6.
Lmaooo we are never going to let that review go
people are fucking crazy
Are you serious?
I like to imagine Cal secretly sent it to him:"please antnee, don't make my boi can yay a six outta tyen"
He probably gets hundreds of copies mailed to him every year with notes attached saying "10 outta 10 review it again!"
Don’t u think putting gorillas in a box is anti vegan Anthony?
Melon exposed. It also isn't very vegan to keep Cal locked in his closet but yet Anthony does it anyways :(

This can mean so many things

...actually, yeah, good point. where is it? thought they were going to do it this year? :/
I really hope they bring on Tyler the Creator or Tøp, that would be so cool

There's actually something so satisfying about this vinyl unwrapping stuff
My flex is it only took a couple seconds into the tilt for me to recognize the first album
24:32 you can feel the sexual tension between Anthony and the music box
At this point the guys who deliver the vinyls know Anthony personally
"Gorillaz", "G-Sides", "Laika Come Home" and "Demon Days" were some of my favorite music.
i love how happy anthony is when he gets new records, it in turn, as a fellow vinyl collector, makes me happy and feel good :)
What is the album on the wall with green cover? Looks cool
Whole Lotta Green
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that he Endless on vinyl in the background?!

i love vinyl update. Please keep doing it, forever
Bout time you did another vinyl update Bud!
24:30 me browsing discogs marketplace prices while on the toilet to see if theres a shipping cost that wont be that expensive

The bad brains record looks soooo good
I love these videos I’m really glad you still do them
Man, He was almost crying when he was playing that small music box of Gorrilaz. Wasn’t he?
Fantano, how does your wife listen to music?
I'm imaging her jamming on Spotify killing your vinyl heart, but I'm genuinely serious
He's married? nooooo :(
Plz bring back this series Mr. Melon. I enjoy it very much

Oh wow that floating points record looks as good as it sounds
2 download cards is for one to be used for downloading the other one is part of the record inserts but still being completely valid being unclaimed.
