when did you officially drop fantano?

When he answered a stupid fan question whether music has finite or infinite possibilities.

All he knows about music theory is
>muh melody
>muh chords

But hey, he is 'just a guy' on the internet, right?

Honestly, I didn't give a shit.

Until today. This is his worst review of all time. Worse than the time he accidentally reviewed Gorillaz B sides and uploaded it. There's just no excuse for this. Pure Comedy is as close to objectively bad as you can get IMO, and 9/10 is an AOTY tier score. It's disgusting that someone who listens to as much music as Fantano supposedly does would think this LP has anything redeeming to say. Straight up shit lyrics, shit instrumentation. Overlong with a hamfisted (and yes) pretentious "message".

I legitimately unsubbed. Sorry melon, but this was the last straw. I know you don't give a fuck, but I never gave a fuck about you either, until you gave the PIECE OF STEAMING SHIT album a 9. Seriously, fucking unforgivable.

Fuck.

>>72111370
tl:dr you haven't dropped fantano, no one has, and no one can, you will eagerly await his views for your favorite albums like the good little drone you are, fuck off with this shit loser. dumb fanboy

>>72111450
link pls

>>72111457
Not OP, but seriously shut the fuck up. You clearly don't realize just how awful Pure Comedy is. The issue here isn't Fantano's body of work, it's that he inexplicably gave a 2/10 album a 9. Never has he been quite THIS wrong. Even on MBDTF, it was a 6.

This is the equivalent of giving MBDTF a 1/10 imo. This is about Father John Misty being an insufferable star bucks core garbage musician. Fuck off

>>72111452
I haven't watched a fantano review in probably over two years now, and I legitimately dislike the guy (he's a hack, i agree with OP and the first reply) but you're really calling pure comedy close to "objectively bad"? the lyrics are well above most lyrics people put out, even if you disagree with the "hamfisted pretentious message", and where in the fuck is the instrumentation shit? what do you have against Farmer Jah? it sounds like you dislike his message and are additionally too impatient to handle such a slowburn. i think some of the songs are a bit samey, but they're still executed well enough that i forgive it. what's the deal?

>>72111452
>It's disgusting that someone who listens to as much music as Fantano supposedly does would think this LP has anything redeeming to say.
i agree, thats what I was getting at, he is the exact type of person i believe FJM preys on because they enjoy achieving understanding an album more than they do actual enjoyment of music

>>72111474
It's less worse than I remembered. He does qualify it with 'chromatic'. Still my overall verdict is that his understanding is a little too basic to be interesting.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ajIttVd2O0

Never because i watch him to learn about new releases, not get mad because he dislikes an album i like. Hes trashed some albums i like a lot but thats just his opinion, who cares?

>>72111540
Oh my god, leave stan.

It's middle school poetry over bland piano and faux-'epic' instrumentation. If you think the writing/ lyrics on this album or good you must still read at a grade 10 level.

This album has been done better literally thousands of times over the past 5 decades. It's trash, plain and simple. Anyone who likes this think has OBJECTIVELY bad taste. Period.

Yeezus

>>72111594
i think the guy himself is probably really insufferable, i wouldn't want to spend very long talking to him. not sure where you're getting the "stan" thing from.

you are clearly extremely angry about this album, moreso than elements of it having been "done before" would warrant. you need to calm the fuck down and learn that your opinions on music aren't superior to anyone else's.

>>72111644
titus andronicus did what pure comedy did 10x better. twice mind you

>>72111553
>enjoy achieving understanding an album more than they do actual enjoyment of music

That's a good way of putting it. This type of person will gladly "like" something just to hold it over someone who doesn't "get it". Social media is this person's playground.

>>72111594

> objectively bad

what's it like to have autism

>>72111707
love titus andronicus, honestly one of my favorite bands working today, but i see their stuff as very different, separate from pure comedy. either way, even if they did it better, twice, that doesn't warrant the level of rage coming from those posts. he (i assume you're not him because there is much less senseless rage going on in this post) is actually angry about people enjoying an album. that's pretentious on a level that even father john hasn't reached.

>>72111452
Slow down there kiddo, you're getting all worked up over a review on the Internet solely because you don't agree with his views. It's time for you to take a nap cranky little boy

>>72111799
nah that guy is just falling for fjm bait. he wants ppl to be mad or happy about his album.

but i really did connect with titus commentary on our society than fjm's maybe because hes older and he hangs around the "elites" in hollywood but as a college kid i can't really care for it.

>tfw always be a loser but thats okay

>>72111584
>>72111584
its more than he dislikes an album i like. in fact he claims to like the album. the problem is this whole channel is designed for people who don't plan on listening to music. even pitchfork is a little better than this. anyone who could give half a shit would just steal the album on mp3

I originally wasn't going to ever listen to this album, but seeing how upset /mu/ nerds are over it maybe i'll give it a chance

>>72111370
I said this in another thread, he barely reviews the album, a lot of the time he just talks about an artists' background and how the album/songs sound and then gives it a score, he seldom talks about how things work structurally or conceptually or gets really in depth with the lyrics and how they work in concurrence with the music. Some of his criticisms are overly pedantic and inconsistent (see MBDTF: he says it has gamechanging production and praises it a ton before giving it a 6/10 because he doesn't care about Kanye's personal life, then on other releases he dismisses lyrical content and still rates the music highly; as if Kanye's personality was really that interesting on his first three albums in the first place).

That and he gave Lulu a 6/10 out of what seems like pure contrarianism than anything else, sure it wasn't as bad as people said it would be but it was still pretty fucking abysmal and 6/10 is way too generous.

good point. he goes on and on about father john mistys bullshit life and career in the pure comedy review and what it means for the album why the fuck?

I followed his tumblr for like two years to read the titles of the videos to know what was coming out. I stopped watching in like 2014

It's like you don't understand that FJM's bullshit life and career is one of the album's subjects

no, a thread is made for every single god damn video saying "this is the video i gave up on melon head".

>>72112352
MBDTF focuses on this idea constantly. It's only briefly mentioned in Pure Comedy.

Kanye's the most egotistical famous person on the planet. FJM is self-righteous and a little arrogant at times but it isn't the same thing.

How you could think Pure Comedy and MBDTF are similar albums lyrically is beyond me.

Can't you at least, if you consider these albums to be two sides of the same coin(I don't), admit that certain people might justifiably relate to one over the other for whatever reason?

Don't get me wrong, I love MBDTF a lot and I disagree with Fantano's review. I just think the comparison is a bit silly.

>>72112505

It's sad, really. I've had this at a light 9 since Friday (I was tripping acid on Friday btw), and I'm surprised Fantano loved this, but /mu/, don't act like this isn't up there in quality with THE GREATEST singer-do writer albums of any era. People who think his lyricism is shallow, are only shallow listeners.

He gave that Emperor of Sand a 4 and it's a solid 6, maybe 6.5. A lot of what he did in that review was just mimic the vocals on songs and move on to the next song as if that was some type of criticism.

>>72112584
The intentions are different from each artist you fucking idiot. The music is obviously a different genre completely and Kanye's music is objectively shit.

Idiot

>>72112549
Settle down there little autist no one said MBDTF wasn't consistent, we said Pure Comedy was more consistent in it's themes and overall feeling than TLOP.

Also yes they are similar to some extent as they both focus on the fame of their respective artists

If this is "middle school poetry" then half the albums posted on /mu/ with lyrics are the unintelligible grunts of retards.

To be clear, the lyrics on PC aren't that great, but they're much better constructed and communicated than most lyricists' work. Even if you don't like them or disagree with the themes or messages, any "objective" reading would admit to that.

The albums I've seen you guys toss up as so vastly superior lyrically are childish at best in comparison.

And this insistence on using "OBJECTIVELY" works against you. Even if you don't like the music produced, it's clear it was done competently by talented musicians and composers. Your OPINION is worthless, especially given to such hyperbole and dishonesty.

This is so wrong tho, what albums get named? 100% the lyrics are better. Post em, I'll wait. The lyrics in this 'thing' are all time bad.

he listens to music reviewers

can i make youtube videos reviewing all of your sad lives?

>>72113620
well his facts are "wrong" too, loveless has a more than average melodic content. one of my absolute favorite aspects of the album is the melodic content. for the love of god how can you miss this? they can ride on 2 sometimes 3 melodies at once, its unbelievable, its like brian wilson level shit, listen to it, the songs are typically end up with vocals+ backup vocal part + lead/texture thing. its brilliant. I literally don't understand how someone could call themselves a music critic and not pickup on the melodic content of loveless. it is drenching with distortion texture sure ill give you that but its abundant with melodies. Thats a fact, if you dont like the melodies thats an opinion. but their presence is a fact. does that make sense? his opinion is that "loveless isn't for everyone bc it lacks melody" well hes objectively wrong because its a fact that the album contains a more than average amount of melodic element on every single track. he is straight up wrong. not "wrong"

fantano is a hack, hes chasing a youtube viewership, he sets out to review x amount of albums a month to pay the bills and it spends his time on shit that is simply not worth reviewing. his claim to internet fame is that he redpilled everyone on deathgrips. but. father john misty was not worth reviewing, the whole "classic" series doesn't do anything, he needs to contemplate a thoughtful and worthwhile critical standpoint find an album where there is a risk as to why people are not listening to this album but really ought to , OR conversely, and why were triggered byt he FJM video... find an album that is pure hype and explain rationally why it doesn't deserve the press. He's just too busy pumping out bullshit

>>72113355
but his review is objectively wrong for anyone who has actually listened the album

>>72113620
Wtf you act like an actual adult when you disagree with someone. What a loser

Dropped him in like 2014 when he said he wasn't going to review The Body's I Shall Die Here because he thought the vocals were annoying.

>>72113813
The Magnetic Fields has gotten named as "how you really write a love song" over FJM's ILYH lyrics. The Magnetic Fields, whether they charm you or not, have childish and cringeworthy lines all over the place.

This Titus Andronicus album keeps getting mentioned as better than PC, and aside from the vocals being terrible the lyrics aren't any more poetic or insightful than the ones on PC. They are often much more pedestrian and myopic compared to the wording and scope of PC too.

Again, I'm not even saying FJM's lyrics are the best or anything, just comparing to the alternatives suggested.

>>72113790
I'm sarcastic, just like Father John Misty


If you take things too literally and not metaphorically, of course you're not going to understand Pure Comedy. Leave it up to you're "memes" to insult my intelligence. You're missing out on a great album on behalf of you're ignorance. Enjoy wallowing in pitty, troll

>taking any popular-music reviewer's opinion seriously
there are no good popular-music critics because to be one requires a certain Wodie Allen-esque mindset (slight narcissism masquerading as self doubt, passive aggressiveness, femininity). Even if they come to different conclusions, most music reviewers approach reviewing the same way. I will give Fantano credit though. He gives more of an attempt at explaining why he likes something and he's one of the only people that uses the numerical score correctly. The popular-music reviewer worth listening to is Scaruffi, and that's only because the memes are too good to lose.

I don't know enough about music to really disprove any of his reviews, therefore I tend to go with the flow and sincerely agree with his standpoints.

>>72115933
He really doesn't like the "over produced" sound that a lot of modern metal and post hardcore stuff has. I can see where he's coming from and while DGD's newer stuff does sound a little sterile it's still got quality melodies and sick riffs which are all I want from them.

I recommend you all deep_cuts. He's like a better Fantano.

Probably because most political/social commentaries in the form of songs don't actually do a good job at fully exploring the scope of the issues they're about. When you start putting your intellectual blog posts to the sounds of a piano ballad, you're indicating that you think what you're saying is more grandiose and significant than it actually is.

When I was like 16
He said I had sweet music taste when I was 15 and I once annoyed /mu/ on good friday one day when he did /mu/radio by asking about sitcoms.

>>72111452
'Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?'

I always took FJM as some post-ironic character who slings a bunch of half-baked judgements of society basically taking jabs at people who would say the sort of shit he says in his music.

So this guy really believes this shit? Because if so I need to delete his music because that whole anti-technology, let me judge everyone shit is just too high school for me to take serious.

Basically I thought it was comedy music.

Fantano is right for once desu

>>72117682
Deep down everyone is a shithead and doesn't know what the fuck is going on, even Stephen Hawking says some dumb shit sometimes.

So when some guy hops on a track and starts making broad generalizations and think's fucking Moses (whoever the bible guy was) come down from the mountain to tell all us plebs how to live, people get mad and usually the person tossing off the critique is a fuck up themselves.

It's why I stopped listening to concious rap, a lot of the shit is just pure stupidity with a shallow layer of profoundity to look deeper than it really is. And usually your not hitting shit in an album that is usually on 1 hour long and maybe less.

No thanks I'll stick to books. Music has never been a good vessel to deliver a deep political messages.

Music should be pure emotion, not some art school wank.

nice quads but I pretty much agree with this.

I can see why normies think they're being redpilled though and people who are a step above normies likely feel validated by it. but those are just my thoughts I don't know shit about the singer/songwriter genre.

>he was just pretending to be retarded xD

I had a suspicion it was /ironic/ but that doesn't mean it still isn't cringey. If a parody is too subtle and not blatant enough it falls into poe's law where people think you're actually being autistic even if you were just pretending. Maybe what the album lacks is that sobriety.

He didn't pass the pleb filter when he reviewed Trout Mask Replica. That's why he kept the video private so only his patron donors could see it, cause they already know he's a hack and like it that way.

its not private

You guys claim to not give a shit about fantano but yet you post every day about how shit he is. No one on /mu/ actually cares that much if their favorite album got a fucking 5. There are multiple albums that i liked that he rated low but I still listen to him because he gives you another perspective and might change my opinion about an album slightly.

Actual autism.

>giving 8's and 9's to shitty trap albums
Rodeo is literally like the only trap album he has given an 8 to and has never given a 9 to any trap album.

His claim to fame is truthing everyone about death grips and fostering their success but Zach hill was already a notable musician all my friends were listening to hella in high school , he didn't really discover anything he just happened to be zealous about this new project that was going to catch attention anyhow

When he gave that last panda bear album a 4 or something lol

Stopped watching him in 2013. Also he's pretty much the pewpewdie of music reviewing.

>Pure Comedy is as close to objectively bad as you can get IMO.
And that's your subjective opinion you obnoxious fag

>>72116506
hehe triggered mayhaps? tumblr is a subjective experience ya numb cunt

>>72111370
I had a dream last night that I listened to a Frank Zappa album that doesnt exist with Fantano while we live streamed it. We were laying on my bed in my room. I had the Zappa album on vinyl and the music was amazing.

I'm not kidding.

Good memer

Don't watch his reviews though

wow, you sure guys have nothing to do with life besides talking about a fucker on the internet doing music reviews, chill the fuck out.

>>72111370
He seems like a cool guy, but it kinda annoys me when he chooses whether or not he's a professional critic or "just a guy with opinions". You can't have it both ways.

Also he can seems pretty bad at handling criticism, just looking at Twitter when he can respond in a pretty butthurt way to even the gentlest riffs.

Also the fucking melon cuck didn't review Heartworms.

Anthony we know you're here, express yourself on the situation.

nice anime dab meme xDDD

>>72111370
When he stopped reviewing good/new music and moved on to reviewing top 40 trash. He used to be so cool.
P.S. How does a vegan like him get as fat as he is?

>>72111370
I dropped him when he became a bernie shill. he has such childish and idiotic politics. and his taste iin music is really not great

>>72122017
>P.S. How does a vegan like him get as fat as he is?
you realize carbs and calories can make u fat right?

only skinny vegans you see are ppl with an eating disorder hiding under being vegan to avoid criticism

Why does anyone give a shit about lyrics?

itt the perennial metric fuckload of salt the hails everytime fantano, a dude this board loves to hate, has the audacity to like an "wait, you don't get it... this album is 'OBJECTIVELY' bad, I'd know!!! I kno musik!" album. p a t h e t i c.

I watched one video years ago, never again.

Also saged, reported and hidden for viral marketing.

>>72111370
Meh, I still sub to him so I catch some releases I'd sleep on otherwise. Like that Crying record from last November was close to being my AOTY and I would've missed it without melon.

That said I take everything he says with a huge grain of salt. He lacks any real musical ability and half the time I feel like he should just not give scores at all, since he's especially bad at reviewing pop and electronic records. I stopped appreciating him as a critic after 2 albums both got middling scores from him despite me thinking they're great, being BoC's Tomorrows Harvest and BMSR's Melon Juicy, which for me were both AOTY contenders of their respective years.

>>72111370
He's a boring low-test hipster who knows nothing about music. It's shameful that people on this board even watched his shit in the first place.

After his review of Julia Holter's 'Loud City Song'.

Specifically, he criticised the track 'Horns Surrounding Me' saying that it would be better if he could hear the vocals over the horns - completely ignoring the concept behind the work for absolutely no reason.

I was also annoyed by his reviews in general since all he does is repeat a handful of buzzwords; timbres, off-kilter, sonically; and he shows no ability to analyse the concept behind a work, he just randomly mentions things and then drops a score.
