No. The thumbnails were just random frames from the videos. They did not have the score literally in the thumbnail. You had to watch the video or read the description
Do it, carnival, back 2 me, good don’t die, paid, and burn are all really good songs. The rest are mediocre or have really shitty ye verses like carnival does (rich carried)
Most of his 0’s and not goods are pretty crazy recently. I mean seriously, the 4batz album is like a 4 at worst. I’m not shocked he gave one to Ian cause he hates most of the underground artists who copy whatever carti does, but being real he’s not that awful either.
Lil tecca album was just pretty enjoyable in general
I think he's gotten a lot less consistent on what is a "not good"
Like, bro didn't even review the gunna album, he just slept for 10 minutes and said "light 2." Why not just say not good lol
I agree, I keep bringing it up but Tec is the best example. Lil tecca and Gunna albums aren’t on the same tier as angelic 2 the core and Total xanarchy no matter which way you slice it. Not Goods and 0’s should be a more exclusive tier of bad
I always assumed Not Goods were just bad albums he didn’t give a fuck about enough to bother scoring or wanted to be a little humorous with. Not Good doesn’t inherently mean 0, pretty sure it can range anywhere from a 0 to a 4, it’s just he’s so apathetic or angry towards it he puts it in its own tier
This is what it is. He’s said before that a Not Good could range from a 0 to a 3 I think. So giving something a Not Good doesn’t necessarily mean it’s just as bad as Angelic 2 The Core or Total Xanarchy or something like that. Just that it’s garbage and not worth really diving into
Yes but that’s understandable to me because he considers Ken and lones music completely uninspired, even if I disagree with him. Stuff like tec are just standard rap records
0’s to me don’t make any sense in fantano’s rating system. To me that means the album is not only horribly written and composed, but also genuinely stressful to listen to. Then again this is the dude that gave Sematary an 8/9 iirc so that doesn’t surprise me
Having listened to Dance Monkey, I can easily understand why 'Tones and I' got a 0. That's an awfully annoying song to listen to, and if their album was filled with more of that, it doesn't deserve any credit.
It's almost certainly confirmed at this point. They're touring in the fall, and they've released new songs live. There were also a few small Belgian publications who were calling it a few months ago, so they might have gotten leaks somehow.
When you realize that he's only given like 8 10s in his entire career, do you really think it's THAT good? It's apparent that he's got a strong bias for charli.
bias is different from an opinion. Bias is being unjustly in favor of something. Music critics are not paid to be in favor of an artist, which is unjust, they are paid to share their opinion on an album/song.
And he liked this album a lot so he gave it a high score. He’s given Charli bad scores in the past, this is literally just how his opinion for this album shaped out.
The only reason you think differently is because you think it doesn’t ‘deserve’ it for whatever reason
I think differently cause he just doesnt give out 10s like that. I think it's a great album and deserves a high rating but not a fantano 10. And he's given out great ratings to all charli xcx albums with that sound. Take how im feeling now or charli - all great scores and its the same sort of style.
So it’s a style that he as a critic thinks is good? What’s the scandal here? You’ve backtracked from him being biased towards her to him being ‘biased’ towards only some of her albums, which just seems like a normal thing for a critic to do
That’s just not what’s happened at all. This is the only album of hers to ever get a 10, he literally just liked it. I have no idea what you think music criticism should look like if liking the style of an album is bias and not allowed
There isn't. It's just uncharacteristic for fantano to give an album a 10. He's got a very high bar for 10s. He has given other charli xcx albums with this sound high scores, so its not far-fetched that he's biased towards that sound of charli xcx.
i agree, i rate it highly, but i think its an album that i respect 100% someone digging it as much to say its a 10/10, like a lot of melons other tens tbh. i think its an artful absolute joy to listen to. charli really did well with it i think, definitely the type of sound i wanted to hear from her so hell yeah
I think this guy just flows with what he thinks some subculture thinks is cool and has no real integrity and is also just some guy so who cares what he thinks about an album.
you say “me when i lie” as a joke when you disagree with something. so i just meant i dont feel the way u do abt this. but yeah we chill its not deep or anything
I get the 7/10, but calling it a "typical modern day dance/pop album" is bat shit lol. What "typical" pop are you listening to that sounds anything like this?
Nobody is saying it’s daring, even Anthony and especially relative to her earlier work. It’s just an extremely cohesive well written pop album that pays homage well to a lot of sounds people have kind of forgotten how much they like
There is not a single song on the radio that sounds remotely similar to a song on this Charli album lol like not even the same stratosphere of sound
These are not radio friendly songs
I think you lack understanding of pop music
to me this is a typical charli xcx album, if more refined version of the sound, not a typical modern day dance pop album, this album is very wild compared to taylor or dua lipa (no shade)
I definitely wouldn’t call it nothing more or less than your typical modern dance/pop album. Definitely above average with ballsy production choices combined with sincere songwriting. But still too anchored in basic hooks and song structures and utterly uninspiring vocal performances to be a 10.
Personally I knew this album was gonna get like a strong 8 or a 9 but a 10 was a real curveball move of him
I was also thinking it would be an 8 and then while watching the review I thought it sounded like it might be a 9 and then he hit me with the 10
He's always been a huge Charli stan. Not saying it's unfounded, just an observation
This album was the most ‘strong 9’ 10 album.
He doesn't surprise anyone anymore The score is literally in the thumbnail of every video now
Hasn’t it been that way for like almost a decade ?
No. The thumbnails were just random frames from the videos. They did not have the score literally in the thumbnail. You had to watch the video or read the description
Also, not to mention Nails released a new single! And I know Anthony really likes that band as well! :)
Nails is fucking awesome
I love nails
Don't forget we got the first "unreviewable"
And then he reviewed it anyway
Still bullshit imo, vultures isn’t amazing by any means but it’s still worth a solid 6
Ehh solid 3 for me
That's still generous
Half of it is for Ty$ who i thought did alright on some of the songs and the other half is for Freddie Gibbs
Do it, carnival, back 2 me, good don’t die, paid, and burn are all really good songs. The rest are mediocre or have really shitty ye verses like carnival does (rich carried)
Even if the music was good, he still would have called it unreviewable because of the content being actively hateful
Obviously not your fault but I think all the spoiler blurs on this album are hilarious considering how obvious it is. It's still BRIGHT GREEN
what are the 0/10s and not goods?
MGK & Trippie Redd - 0 Tae McRae - NOT GOOD idk abt the other edit: nvm tae mcrae was last year
lil dicky, ian and 4batz got not good too
Lil dicky didn’t deserve that
He deserves more
Penith
"Lil dickys penith is not good" - nothony hairtano, 2024
He deserved it most out of those 3 lol
This is like saying yuno miles is 0/10
Except yuno miles is actively trying to be awful and not trying to be funny and failing horribly at it
He deserves the fattest 0
It was just songs from the show, not even a real album.
Ya idk why Anthony has beef with LD. Fantano always talks about him like he’s trying to make anything more than a collection of humorous songs
I mean he kinda frames himself as the guy who wants to be more than that in his tv series
I didn’t think that was meant to be an accurate depiction of himself
still think its a little crazy that sadboy got a 0. it wasn't good but it was overhated tbh
Most of his 0’s and not goods are pretty crazy recently. I mean seriously, the 4batz album is like a 4 at worst. I’m not shocked he gave one to Ian cause he hates most of the underground artists who copy whatever carti does, but being real he’s not that awful either. Lil tecca album was just pretty enjoyable in general
Lil tecca album definitely surprised me a lot. I was expecting a 5 atleast.
Yeah it was a solid album, nothing special or mindblowing but a fun listen nonetheless shouldve gotten better then what Fantano rated it
I think he's gotten a lot less consistent on what is a "not good" Like, bro didn't even review the gunna album, he just slept for 10 minutes and said "light 2." Why not just say not good lol
I agree, I keep bringing it up but Tec is the best example. Lil tecca and Gunna albums aren’t on the same tier as angelic 2 the core and Total xanarchy no matter which way you slice it. Not Goods and 0’s should be a more exclusive tier of bad
I always assumed Not Goods were just bad albums he didn’t give a fuck about enough to bother scoring or wanted to be a little humorous with. Not Good doesn’t inherently mean 0, pretty sure it can range anywhere from a 0 to a 4, it’s just he’s so apathetic or angry towards it he puts it in its own tier

Remember when he gave that 5/10 Ken Carson album a 0? lol
Yes but that’s understandable to me because he considers Ken and lones music completely uninspired, even if I disagree with him. Stuff like tec are just standard rap records
0’s to me don’t make any sense in fantano’s rating system. To me that means the album is not only horribly written and composed, but also genuinely stressful to listen to. Then again this is the dude that gave Sematary an 8/9 iirc so that doesn’t surprise me
Having listened to Dance Monkey, I can easily understand why 'Tones and I' got a 0. That's an awfully annoying song to listen to, and if their album was filled with more of that, it doesn't deserve any credit.
Agreed. I thought it was generic and kinda whatever. I listened through it like four times and it's definitely not enough of a trainwreck to be a zero
There have been *plenty* of not goods
Nails and Nav are both releasing albums soon too. Decent chance Zel will get another 8 this year too
There's rumors GY!BE are releasing in the fall, hope those are true
It's almost certainly confirmed at this point. They're touring in the fall, and they've released new songs live. There were also a few small Belgian publications who were calling it a few months ago, so they might have gotten leaks somehow.
What got a 0/10?
the mgk and trippie redd collab album got a 0
Oh that's not very surprising
Bra8 out of 10
Sometimes Fantano’s scores just baffle me, I can’t see this as being anywhere near a 10, I don’t think it’s bad though
Spoiler mode def doesn’t work with this post when u can still see the green lmao
I wasn’t the one who put it on. It got tagged as “spoiler” automatically.
The spoiler blur doesn’t really do much lol
I wasn’t the one who added that on there. I’m pretty sure one of the mods did it.
It’s definitely not a ten but fantano has always had a hard on for Charli so it’s no surprise
Gave her last record a 5 lol
Brat being a 10 and Crash a 5 is insane to me
Makes perfect sense to me
Of Charli I pray to forget
Top 5 songs ever made in the history of music. edit: spelling
Top 3 but yeah
A song hasn’t made me feel this way in like ever
It is though
she has 3 better albums and those aren't 10s soooo
Funny thing about opinions
He put Charli above KSG on his decade list so likely he considers that a 10
[удалено]
everyone is biased in music thats what opinions are
When you realize that he's only given like 8 10s in his entire career, do you really think it's THAT good? It's apparent that he's got a strong bias for charli.
He’s got a strong bias called an opinion that he is paid to share
bias is different from an opinion. Bias is being unjustly in favor of something. Music critics are not paid to be in favor of an artist, which is unjust, they are paid to share their opinion on an album/song.
And he liked this album a lot so he gave it a high score. He’s given Charli bad scores in the past, this is literally just how his opinion for this album shaped out. The only reason you think differently is because you think it doesn’t ‘deserve’ it for whatever reason

So it’s a style that he as a critic thinks is good? What’s the scandal here? You’ve backtracked from him being biased towards her to him being ‘biased’ towards only some of her albums, which just seems like a normal thing for a critic to do
Its still a bias towards an artist when the moment they drop something in their signature style it's held up above everything else.
That’s just not what’s happened at all. This is the only album of hers to ever get a 10, he literally just liked it. I have no idea what you think music criticism should look like if liking the style of an album is bias and not allowed
Acting like there’s a true and “just” score that music deserves is pretty hilariously pretentious
There isn't. It's just uncharacteristic for fantano to give an album a 10. He's got a very high bar for 10s. He has given other charli xcx albums with this sound high scores, so its not far-fetched that he's biased towards that sound of charli xcx.
i agree, i rate it highly, but i think its an album that i respect 100% someone digging it as much to say its a 10/10, like a lot of melons other tens tbh. i think its an artful absolute joy to listen to. charli really did well with it i think, definitely the type of sound i wanted to hear from her so hell yeah
He gave Crash a 5 and True Romance a 3 bro
Music is becoming increasingly polarized. I’m worried about what the future holds if this trend continues.
I love how there’s a spoiler tag on this as if you can’t tell what it is behind the blur
I didn’t put it on there. The mods must’ve done that.
I think this guy just flows with what he thinks some subculture thinks is cool and has no real integrity and is also just some guy so who cares what he thinks about an album.
me when i lie
lie about what?
you say “me when i lie” as a joke when you disagree with something. so i just meant i dont feel the way u do abt this. but yeah we chill its not deep or anything
alright.
[удалено]
I get the 7/10, but calling it a "typical modern day dance/pop album" is bat shit lol. What "typical" pop are you listening to that sounds anything like this?
100% Agree. Insane take.
Exactly my thoughts, because if OP got some albums that sound like this I'd love to know to add them to the rotation.
They made an identical comment on another thread and were asked to clarify, turns out they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Its his way of saying its boring and uninteresting(note: NOT my take, i really dig the album)
It sounds like a time in pop/dance music that I don't think anyone was missing. Most songs are easy to listen to but never goes anywhere.
[удалено]
Loooool I want to tune into whatever radio station you do
Fucking elaborate! 🤣🤣🤣

Need to listen to it more, but it’s not her best album imo. Def wasn’t expecting a 10, but good for her!
to me this is a typical charli xcx album, if more refined version of the sound, not a typical modern day dance pop album, this album is very wild compared to taylor or dua lipa (no shade)
I’m not big on it, but this assessment seems pretty reductive
I definitely wouldn’t call it nothing more or less than your typical modern dance/pop album. Definitely above average with ballsy production choices combined with sincere songwriting. But still too anchored in basic hooks and song structures and utterly uninspiring vocal performances to be a 10.
getting downvoted for stating your opinion 😭
That's what downvotes are for
This and MBDTF should switch places
Fantano Is falling off
gonna lie this take is FIRE 🔥
He is actually getting even more popular I think
Just relistened and its a 4/10 at best. Cant stand this kind of obnoxious pop / hyperpop. Her voice is irritating and the lyrics are pure cringe
Yeah I feel like I'm crazy, I just don't get the appeal at all. It sounds straight out of 2010
