Damn wtf this dude literally hated mac s*** on all his projects except for faces

Which album did he trash?

Swimming

Hate to see it. Was spinning it earlier, still fantastic. 2 years coming up

and GOOD AM and TDF

i might take both over swimming no kizzy

how dare fantano dislike the only album i've listened to the entire year, what a f***ing absolute fat f***ing weirdo f*** man reviewer man f***

lmao

and yeah, that review he did 7 years ago was absolute trash, so i feel the need to discredit him on every single video thats hes done without f***ing watching it

I knew he'd give EoS a glowing review given his taste

Not really shocked. Dudes a teenager trapped in an old bald man

Fake ass cry

Here's a newer one just for you.

The entirety of this review consists of:

• Describing the music using repetitive variations on "TFW"-type meme culture.

• Him rattling off utterly meaningless phrases of vague aesthetic reference points that sound like he pulled them out of a hat: "sour surreal noir jazz direction", "notes of jazz and post-punk and art rock and surf rock /.../ that swirl together to become a grey blaise uniform bleghhh." And per usual, some of these can be so broad that they're redundant: "The very quirky and animated 'Vidual' which is easily one of the most cartoonish and over-the-top tracks on this." Huh...you don't say?

• Incredibly generic descriptions that could be used to describe millions of songs: "it has a coherent progression and reaches an emotional intensity point thats very satisfying"; "even tracks on here that hit a pretty decent groove or have a nice steady chord progression." And of course, the totally debased classic "doesn't really go anywhere", which is a phrase that ironically doesn't go anywhere any time someone uses it.

• Repeating words like "compelling" and "engaging" in various contexts without any elaboration. Or ridiculous sweeping statements echoing that same kind face-value, matter of fact assertive attitude: "Debilitating to the performances and to the writing process" — How? In what ways? Care to give any detail beyond that? Anything beyond saying "like on (insert song title)"? No? Oh, okay then.

• Burping out relatively specific popular music terms that he either uses incorrectly or immediately contradicts in a single breathe: "Numerous tracks that feel like weird interludes or filler tracks — filler tracks on an album of songs like that feel half-conceived."

So are they interludes, filler, or half-conceived ideas? These are 3 different things, with the last one being less concrete than the others and needing explanation. Is he saying that an album of half-conceived songs has half-conceived filler (redundant)? Or the entire album is filler because every song is half conceived — which doesn't make sense even if he used the term "filler" correctly (he doesn't).

Insightful stuff like this really separates the casual fans from the busiest music nerds, amiright?

cant say I feel bad, bro had like 20 chances to stop doubling down and apologize for going this hard on a kid

not trying to defend the man but fantano probably knows more hip hop than 90% of ktt

Yeah. Wtf is this? This isn’t the melon I watched in 2014

u got any recs for good music publications? I feel like the music community has been flooded by this style of criticism because of how easy it is to write and makes it seem like you know what you're saying

This guy just does the same s*** kanye does on twitter. Its good for businees because it gets people talking.

@RASIE going OFF in this thread.
Holy s***

not having threads of fantano on here is not going to impact his business whatsoever, idk why yall think this.

Man has WAY too strong an ego for a guy who wears flannel and warby parkers
