Oneohtrix Point Never - Again ALBUM REVIEW 

anthony never fails to put the best track in the least favorite section

We need a redux review immediately where the only thing that changes is that Anthony acknowledges that krumville is the best song

justice for Krumville

Oh wow it’s the guy who works for The Weeknd! Glad to see he’s started his own solo career!

I think this album, while it does call back to Daniel's older material, also calls back to the music that he grew up with (as suggested by the song "Memories of Music") and incorporates it into the OPN sound. The touches of post-rock, synth-punk, jazz, and new wave are all genres he grew up with according to interviews he's been doing for this album. "Magic OPN" was Daniel looking back on his musical career, while "Again" is Daniel looking back on his whole life.

Genuinely have nothing but love for this album. So wonderful and creative in each and every moment. edit: justice for krumville

are we hearing the same krumville?

Krumville least favourite... oh you're weird

Krumville is amazing

AOTY for me. Every track blew me away exactly like Replica. Replica and this project are perfect fromt to back.

That guitar texture on Krumville is one of the greatest things I've ever heard Edit: I just saw it's the least favorite track what the fuck

I can’t believe you reviewed this album again

On An Axis is one of the best songs on the record

One thing I can give to Daniel is that no matter what, he ALWAYS knows how to create unique sonic textures. I've pretty much only listened to 2 of his albums more than once (Fall Into Time and Replica, if you were wondering), but the first listen of every album he has always makes me think about how tf he even made the music that's playing. For an electronic musician, I think creating something otherworldly is one of the greatest things that they can achieve so I'd give a high recommendation to any OPN album.

LOVED this one personally. Feels like a beautiful and touching retrospective on his career so far. Huge bounce back from recent output imho.

The screaming guitar at the end of “world outside” is where it’s at for me

I love how opn switches musical style in every album

Glad this one got a full review. This album was really lushious overall and had a lot of ideas to it.

so damn beautiful. I love the absolute sounds Daniel creates on this album and the use of samples, reminds me a lot of r plus seven which is always nice

Best OPN record since R Plus Seven or maybe Garden of Delete.

L on your Krumville take... Just like most of your electronic takes.

if he changed his name to kendrick point never and named it to again a butterfly it would have got a ten

the biggest difference for me is that opn stopped sounding 'new' and 'groudnbreaking' 'setting the trend' etc and is more like a nostalgic experience now. I guess its going back to it's roots of rift era symbolically.

That’s a very clever pun, Anthony.

Oneohtrix Point Never Broke Again

The GoodTime soundtrack is some of his best and most raw work in my opinion :)

I've listened to this album quite a few times and I really like it. Sure the beginning is depressing with those arpeggios but the album really grew on me. I've got replica, age of, magic oneohtrix point never on vinyl but I think this is his most commercial and accessible outing so far. A solid 9/10 for me. Keep it up Daniel!

Krumville makes me cry!!

Hopefully you are able to interview Daniel Lopatin some time to interrogate him about his vaporwave influence.

Interesting really that pretty much all my favourite tracks from this album appear in the lowest-rated bit of this review… ‘A Barely Lit Path’ just seems to me like an easily-digestible version of OPN’s music to gain traction for the album. On the other hand, tracks like ‘Krumville’, ‘World Outside’ and ‘On An Axis’ I thought were an excellent blend of retrospective sounds of his, but crammed with new and different textures and colours. Tracks like ‘Plastic Antique’ and ‘Nightmare Paint’ are some of his all-time best work in my opinion. I honestly feel this is the best thing he has done in a long time. ‘Age Of’ was generally good, ‘Magic’ kind of felt disconnected, but ‘Again’ really hit the mark in my opinion. This is pushing a 9 for me.

I don't really know what you mean by again being a look back on opn's musical career to be honest. To me it included so much material that really just sounded foreign to much of what he's made before that it felt more like a look back on the music Daniel himself was shaped by. Not his own sound.

I love that we can come together to discuss these high level ideas

Hell yeah dude, really liked this one too! Always had a soft spot for OPN, he produced the soundtrack for one of my all time favorite movies, Good Time.

was reminded of Replica so quickly, knew I would love this one.

LOVE this album so much. Interesting to hear him go back to extreme hi-fi sounds after the lo-fi bliss of Magic

Thanks for this review of Replica 2 by The Replica Man

The Album art alone is bringing back memories

Damn, kinda wish you had picked up on the Russian Mind and Zones Without People callbacks. Like you said, his discography is pretty vast, but it’d be a disservice to just recount things only as deep as eccojams (which he is definitely not as averse to as you may think, as per his recent AMA). Last thing I’ll say is this; this may be just because I’m a hardcore fan of his and know way too much about his history and inspos, but this ties together far more cohesively than Magic. It feels like his personal engagement of music, both from and before him, is being filtered through a version of Daniel he’s trying to compartmentalize in his middle age, but is ultimately alienated from, given the kind of fatalistic but accepting final track.

Are you reviewing oneohtrix point never again fantano?

Seeing this album Performed live was an absolute treat!

Any chance you could bump the score up a bit to maintain that perfect 8-6-8-6 pattern OPN's had going for him this past decade? It's so much more satisfying that way. Thx

Justice for krumville

I’m looking forward to an OPN album having a theme that isn’t a mixup of every other theme. It’s fine as an album, but it’s hard for me to pick anything distinctive out of the middle sections, it’s too amorphous.

You should really consider reviewing Solace by Rezn, I've been obsessed with this album since came out earlier this year. Their joint album with Vinnum Sabbthi Is also very good. I feel like this band deserves more exposure.

Finally! The Body Trail getting the love it deserves. I love OPN. I desperately wanted to love this album; and for a moment, I did, but it didn't last. A Barely Lit Path is easily the best track from the album, and probably my favorite piece of his to date, but there is an epic nature the track has that the rest of the album simply did not. Don't get me wrong. I do thoroughly enjoy the album, but it's not making the splash that I hoped it would. There are a few great moments though, and I will enjoy them for years to come. Favorites: Again, Locrian Midwest, The Body Trail, Memories of Music, Ubiquity Road, A Barely Lit Path Least favorite: Nightmare Paint

It surprises me to this day how I give an album the same score as the melon but his least favorite track is always my favorite.

Will we get a review of the new Dog Eat Dog studio album Free Radicals? We certainly hope so Needle Drop

No play the song that goes bee boop bee boop bop

Again is his magnum opus and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

7 is too low for this record imo, i think it was much more cohesive than what melon gives it credit for. it was all so laser focused and thought out. no lower than a 9 for me.

Another day another review!

Hey Melon! How ‘bout doin the new Vanishing Twin album? I think you’ll enjoy it. ✊🏻

Good to know

I thought On An Axis was great. Did he not mention Ubiquity Road? That song is so beautidul, especially towards the end

KRUMVILLE WAS THE BEST ONE WTF DO YOU MEAN MELON

WHERE IS WORLD OUTSIDE OR ON AN AXIS IN FAVORITES

Wtf Krumville is my favorite, to go from R Plus Seven type sounds to Duster/Alex G dreamy slowcore guitars in the same 4 minute track is mind bending.

Def my favorite Oneohtrix record

It’s only inevitable L’Rain gets a short review 😢

I noticed you mentioned Magic wasn't super cohesive, and mentioned that again about Again. Personally, I see that for this album, but thought Magic was carried by its conceptuality.

Aoty for me, OPN never disappoints

PLEASE REVIEW REN!! SICK BOI IS OUT & ITS TIME TO REVIEW IT MELON!! DO NOT IGNORE ME!! DO IT OR PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!!!! 😢

Can we get a bad omen album review

review the MIKE album

Where is the Dorian Electra review!!!

Can you please review Movements - Ruckus! 🙏

When is melon going to review Fanfare by Dorian Electra?

criminal what you said about krumville but i get it, in general this is my third favorite OPN album behind r plus seven and garden of delete but this is my first time being a fan while he’s dropped an amazing record (i did not like magic oneohtrix point never) so it might be carrying my rating a bit

god i love opn

Again was really good, but releasing just a week before Ken Carson's Magnum Opus will be stiff competition for Mr Low Patent.

review the new dorian electra album

theneedledrop Thoughts on (any of) the following albums melon? -YG, Tyga - Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist -Kool Keith - Mr. Controller -Rapsody - GOATED: Rapsody -Bad Bunny - nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana -Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray For Me -Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other -Gucci Mane - Breath of Fresh Air

@needledrop please review Gela by Baker Boy good album.

Always covering not so known artists. That's i've always respect Melon, always a legend. Searching for his music right now, aand it looks awesome.

Probably my favorite since garden of delete. Feels like Daniel borrowed quite a bit from James Ferarro one this one.
