Why can't this man discuss or review anything /bleep/ related

He can't discuss anything metal related properly neither
I don't think he can discuss anything that isn't shitty rap

>>73721258
He's just ignorant about it, like most music.

he's american

don't be too hard on him, i don't care if he reviews some things without knowing too much about them, it gives a different view and that still has a lot of value IMHO

because /bleep/ doesn't encompass all of electronic music

because /bleep/ is generally pretty niche, while Fantano capitalises on hype for views like any sane youtuber

Do you realise house, techno, disco, garage and even breaks trace their origins back to the US and not UK/Europe, right? If there was a nationality bound to be knowledgeable about bleepity-bloops it would be the American master race, not Yuropoors.

/bleep/ (the general) is cancer and calling music "bleep music" is fucking retarded. /bleep/ listens to nothing but shitty club music that somehow makes them feel superior to people who listen to other shitty club music but somehow it's different because it's called "EDM"

I do agree that Fantano's opinions on electronic music are trash but /bleep/ is not the place to find interesting electronic stuff.

I don't even consider 'bleepers' human

>>73721425
yeah, sure i do, but dance music was never really accepted by mainstream (read: white) america the way that rock and to a lesser extent hip hop were

europe was always far more interested in dance music than the usa was

>muh clubs


you do realize that music is not literally invented in clubs right? like, the shit you hear in clubs is the watered down bastardized versions of the innovations that Americans were making decades ago. Eurocucks didn't invent anything, they just repackaged it with a layer of shit.

Melon is full of shit, but easily is able to bullshit the Album- listening community into thinking he has merit to his "opinions".

He also doesn't take emotional potentness into account of his reviews, which can really "blind" you rather than just surrendering to the vibe of the album. He has a "know it all" complex and is a terrible role model for future music listeners.


No wonder /mu/ sucks him off

Even worse, he's not even right about guitar music.

>>73721258
I watched 4 of his videos recently
they were all album reviews of albums I haven't heard
His analysis was thorough enough that I felt a sense of accomplishment from having watched the review. Essentially I felt as if I had listened to the album and understood it's message without having to actually listen to it.

Whether or not his review is accurate is irrelevant, because I'll never know the difference.

GOD IT'S NOT (insert irrelevant genre) IT'S (insert irrelevant genre) you put my music in the wrong tiny box! That means the review is garbage right

>>73721258
At least he has wider tastes than some acclaimed critics and his self-applied title of, "Internet's Busiest Music Nerd," is less pretentious than Robert Christgau as the, "Dean of American Rock Critics," who can't even admit to bias.

>>73724528

>>73721881
you do realize that Americans span those tunes in American clubs right?

>>73721258
If you try to be an authority on all types of music, you ultimately wind up being an authority on nothing.

Fantano has reviewed machinedrum and skrillex, but he has to do guys like technical itch, evol intent, spor, the upbeats, and bad company

>>73721258
i guess the point of low insight youtube reviews like this is to save you time on what is worth listening to, so a 7 minute review of a single thats sides total 12 minutes is pretty pointless

>>73725119
I guess that's true
>>73725196
I just mean he's so shitty at reviewing any electronic music at all. I mean even when an indie artist like fucking suffy makes music like age of adz, he hates it despite being one of his best albums.

>>73725119
but hes already the authority on nothing

Nah, I think Christgau was right that EDM/techno can only be appreciated in da club. You'll never "get" it listening on a laptop with headphones.

why the fuck do you even care?

especially when dance music is all singles and constant new releases, not >muh albums

just use RA or Bleep.com

He introduced me to iglooghost and sinjin hawke, so I can't hate him too bad. He quite liked immunity as well iirc
I agree with whoever said it's probably bc he's American, not as a diss but I mean, you wouldn't expect an American to properly review a Brazilian folk record either

>>73725451
Has he ever gone back on his opinions about prog rock groups like King Crimson?
It's one thing to admit you just don't like a genre, but I can't fucking stand when people like The Dean of American Rock Critics state objectively that music - especially stuff like ITCOTCK - is just bad.
I just can't see him giving a half nod of the cap to club music but sticking to his guns on his hate boner for prog.

I forget how clueless /mu/ is lmao

>>73725607
His idea of what rock music can be is painfully limited, he thinks it's ersatz shit if it isn't uptempo and you can bop your head to it.

He slept on olga bell last year, gave it a crap review he knows nothin electronic

>>73724768
>mfw did that so I can escape tinnitus

Because it's not Meme Grips.

The melon is punk. He can't discuss bleeps and bloops, metal, or pop because they're antithetical to his vegan straight edge shaved-head paradigm. He was like the only reviewer who didn't get MBDTF, and it's not because he heard something they didn't. It's because he was balls deep in DIY organic vegan anarcho punk antifa anal sex protests.

I'm serious. The guy has a very narrow worldview for being the world's most influential music reviewer.
