LET'S ARGUE ABOUT ME 

without my degree in music theory, i would never know what "trap influences" means

Anthony is a coward for not wearing the infinity flannel he got from Cal.

I don't really understand that second one, he literally never talks about music theory lmao

3:04 Ah yes, I hate when Anthony says things like *"Kendrick's Partita no 27 in Gb minor, 3rd movement, allegretto, BWV 947 is a mild 7"*

Let's Argue: Giving MBDTF a 6 a second time was the greatest artistic statement Fantano has ever made.

LET'S AGREE: A new interview with Nardwuar sounds like a neat idea.

LET'S AGREE: Fantano should wear kilts in his reviews and film below the waist instead of above

do NOT change "best teeth in the game", it is the most powerful sentence

Fantano barely if ever mentions music theory in his videos lol

Let's argue: your bass tone is too clean, I wanna hear some nasty feedback and distortion next time.

Hearing a buffed-up Fantano refer to the most suicidal period of my life as "The Slamdemic" made living through it totally worth it.

I'm glad he don't give 10s away so easily, really makes those few stand out as excellent music

The fact that he listens to a lot of music explains why he doesn’t give a lot of 10s.

"Let's argue about me" Anthony in a relationship

can't believe you killed jazz snobs and angsty 17 year olds in the span of one video

I feel like he has 2 completely different fanbases, theres people like me and others who love music and love to debate albums in a fun but respectful way, then theres his twtich chat who sound like they have all been dropped on their head in unison as babies

Let’s agree: Melon’s Twitch chat is horrendous

Let's agree: Melon's personality and content are both great

Anthony's straight up spitting bars at 5:00

10:44 The Caretaker - I feel as if I might be vanishing 11:19 The Caretaker - Camaraderie at arms length

let’s argue: that bass intro slapped harder than usual

Let’s Agree: Melon needs to put more bass focused content on the channel

"ca. 2012" is short for "circa 2012", not California you silly melon

Let’s agree: melon needs to drop an instrumental bass album

Proposal: The colorful flannel is worn when reviewing a quality first project from a young artist.

i thought the name “the needle drop” was obvious as to what it’s referring to

I feel like people who say "you overplay how much people disagree with with you" have literally never read any comments on any fantano video ever, not even once.

Why is it that I disagree about LITERALLY EVERYTHING this man yet I continue to watch his reviews only for him to review things like "Worlds" by Porter Robinson a 5.

Let’s argue, Anthony Fantano is actually not a melon but a grapefruit

LET'S ARGUE: This was Anthony's most ambitious bass intro yet.

giving something a "perfect" score should be scarce. most media you consume, visual and auditory, is more than likely just going to be average with it being sometimes terrible, and sometimes amazing. and even when its amazing it's still rarely approaching perfect. the fact anybody would expect perfect scores given out more often just reads to me like somebody who (not to sound like a pretentious snob) doesn't actually like analyzing what they listen to but rather passively consumes content. not to say you necessarily need to deeply analyze everything you consume, I certainly don't, but that kind of mindset doesn't even seem to consider that you should maybe think about why you like something and the nuances of the media you consume. just seems to me like somebody misunderstanding what goes into analysis and reviews.

LETS AGREE: Melon’s bass intros are NOT BAD.

Fantano's music theory language which goes over everyone's heads: - Cut - Record - Guitar - Tran

I can't even think of a "music studied" term that he uses. Is it something like "chord progression"?

We gotta support each other throughout this ongoing slamdemic

Lmao I love how one of Pitchforks rated 10 albums is MBDTF

What music theory terminology has Anthony ever used? Lol

lets agree, anthony has a toxic fanbase when he streams.

Playing Everywhere at the End of Time at the end to make us forget what we just saw

I actually feel like Anthony, for me, has the best way of presentation when reviewing music. He is knowledgable as fvck, yet not at all pretentious.

I’m a formally trained musician and I appreciate your content specifically because it’s light on the theory - it’s a good window into a perspective closer to ones held by most listeners and I value that

I was NOT ready for that An Empty Bliss Beyond This World cameo.

I don't typically comment on videos, but thought I'd say I love the content fantano. love when people keep it real and stay true to themselves. keep it up man

I've been a fan since 2013 and I have discovered SO many artists that I never would have come across had it not been for your videos. I don't always agree with your assessments but you present them in an articulate and intelligent way and I'm almost always interested in listening to a record that you review. I'm glad that you enjoy what you're doing, and I hope you keep enjoying it for a long time.

Let's agree: We need more Cal on the channel.

This was unironically your best bass solo yet

Armthony Flextano here, the Internet’s buffest music nerd with the beefiest biceps in the game

6:54 Well some of us like you Anthony. IMO you're the most important voice in the music world right now. I think the service you provide of album curating saves people a bunch of time they would have wasted listening to a bunch of trash. When you steer people in the right direction in a sense you are helping someone make the most of their time and finding quality music or at least advising them of the ones that are underwhelming.

LET’S ARGUE: Anthony should do a review of a movie

I don't know any music theory beyond what you'd get in middle school music appreciation that Anthony ever talks about

As a french viewer sometimes I misse some arguments or points in your videos so as long I can access to subtitles I’m good. You have a unique vibe in terms of music critic here on RU-vid so keep being the cool and fresh melon head that you’ve been !

After almost ten years of being subbed your channel is still one of my favourite ways to discover new music

Let's agree: Anthony looks great in everything he wears

Let's agree: This video was fucking hilarious

Gotta love that auditory Caretaker reference shortly after talking about memory loss.

Just gotta say Anthony you introduced me to Clipping cause I clicked on some random ass review and I have never been more thankful

Let’s agree: Melon like to slappa da bass

LETS ARGUE: Melon is hot.

that jazz-man callout was on the money 😂😂😂

I've been watching your videos for some time now and just want to say - thank you! You introduced me to awesome weird sh*t over the years. I realy hope all the people taking out their personal issues on you doesn't stop you from what you are doing. Anthony Fantano. Forever.

Doing the caretaker so dirty by usin his music but not reviewing eatot smh

Let's agree: rating albums numerically is okay

that music theory comment about you being "too difficult" is hilarious to me. my only experiences with music theory is having dated musicians who were really nerdy and loved to talk about reverb or whatever and i can follow along to your reviews without any problem at all, like, i can't remember a single time where you've used terminology that i didn't understand. either i'm way more nerdy about music than i give myself credit for, or... i don't know. you do great work!

Your reviews of Conway's and the rest of Griselda's music was so spot on for me that I find myself looking into artists that you recommend. I was listening to Destroyer's Kaput album on the strength of your review

I have honestly never heard the term “needle drop” used in the context of movies.

Melon, remember the story of Narcissus. He drowned in a pile of CDs because he couldn't stop looking at his reflection.

You mentioned practicing bass before uploading it and I sincerely feel like I can see the difference. That was a funky ass groove.

I like that you get to have more fun with the video editing for this channel :) it’s lovely to see

LETS ArGuE: Antoine fantoine is his best nickname

Being able to review what you want allows for your fans to discover artists they might not find otherwise.

he is... The busiest music nerd. I recently subscribed to all his channels and now I get like15 notifications a day for content that's still great.

Love that you included the Caretaker's "Everywhere at the End of Time" to supplement your comment about memory loss near the end of the vid there. Good luck becoming 100% flex for the duration of the slam-demic, Sir Melon

Anthony, I said I'm DONE arguing with you. If you don't take a drug test, you can't see the kids this weekend.

LET'S AGREE: Anthony not knowing what circa is and mistaking it for California is really really embarrassing.

Ever thought going into voice acting? You've got a pretty versatile and strangely dynamic voice I like it

Man. How do you find the energy to keep finding and listening to new stuff. I finally get time to myself to blast tunes and I get a panic attack about what to listen to that I fall back onto a podcast. Shit, maybe I ain't in the game anymore.

Let’s Argue: If Melon spoke more about musical theory he’d have fewer subs.

I've had dreams in which Fantano acts like some sort of paternal figure to me Should I be worried?

Fantano should do theory explained videos. He has a very accessible way of explaining things and I think it would make a good series

that's so cool that you put everything at the end of time for the song at the end, just after you were talking about if you lost your memory. nice.

lets agree: the diversity in melon's review portfolio is a big part of what makes him a respectable critic, and I hope he continues to review and post videos about music and bands that most people don't care about but he believes is worth reviewing

I do that everyday Edit: I thought it said let’s argue with me I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding

real talk these videos always make my day better and I look forward to them every time you make another. highkey you've become one of my favorite creators on yt.

Am I having a stroke or are the post-bass intro in this video and in the Politics Ruin Music for Me video exactly the same? I swear the mid-sentence laugh, the hand gestures, the intonation, and even the pacing of the words are all identical, either he’s replicated to a flawless science or it’s cut-and-pasted so damn smoothly that it’s impossible to tell where the cut into the new clip is, I am absolutely mesmerized

The Patreon music reminded me of Everywhere At The End Of Time and all serotonin just left my body

Let's agree: I have that same target brand denim vest.

I like you melon!! Apart of the not as loud majority maybe. I don't always agree with you but I really appreciate your perspective. I've been watching since COVID started and always love to hear your takes on things ❤

It's better to not get many 10s, it feels like more of a big deal when you do give one!

Let’s argue: Anthony is a thicc boi

Let’s agree I kinda wished the whole video would just be him playing bass

Mr Melon you've introduced me to so many albums that I would have never looked up myself so thank you 😄

You should organize your reviews by genre so people can discover new music by what they like :)

"Get funky my dude" -Let's bring the infinity flannel back

I thought the needle drop, was when you hit yourself with heroine, on a daily basis, while reviewing albums on youtube...who knew?

Memes aside Anthony I just wanna hammer home that you have given me a lot of music recommendations over the years, shown me other ways to think about music and most of all, YOU'RE A VOICE I KNOW I CAN TRUST when it comes to music! And that's precisely because of the repetitive stuff you do THAT WORKS and the quality content! I'm sure you don't need to hear it from me, but these adolescent teens just want you to change a working formula you have built just to exercise some control over you. You just keep doing you man. That's it, sorry for the long rant, thank you for all the years of great critique!

Caretaker, nice. Also, super late, but I revisited your Glow pt 2 review and I just wanted to thank you for shouting out Old Time Relijun. God what a hilariously fun band.

Let’s Agree: Melon sounds like Melón in Spanish

Lets Argue: Anthony doesn't deserve his comment section being completely off-topic from his great videos

I love that you review only what you want, because you DO in fact introduce me to my music I never would have heard about otherwise.

First video ive seen of you and you seem pretty cool, looks like im gonna be tuning in
