@@willoverdoseonmusic yeah true like a 8/10 is actually fantastic. Thats pretty much the critic score of Dune Part 2. A movie that many people are calling a modern masterpiece, up there with LOTR or TDK. A 8/10.
@@DonovanGG__honestly I’d give dune like a 9.5 maybe a 10/10. That doesn’t mean I think it’s one of the best films in all of cinema, I just think for what it is it does it pretty much perfectly and I love watching it a lot.
About the last song on Toxicity (Arto), it was originally a hidden track that played 15 minutes after Aerials but when the album was put on streaming services it was just added like it was part of the main tracklist, which it isnt.

As I'm sure some other commenters have probably told you KIDS SEE GHOSTS was a group artist project between Kanye West and Kid Cudi, who now very much hate each other. So sadly there will probably never be another Kids See Ghosts album.
@@mintmango10 I mean, Kanye has kinda transcended hip hop at this point. He’s just super famous. But Smags said it was a joke in another comment. He just played it super straight
this video is so addictive, your opinions are so well thought-out and your personality makes this even more entertaining! genuinely can't stop watching this video for months now. definitely would LOVE more content like this from you!!
One of my 10/10 albums from the 80s that should also get an honorable mention is Masayoshi Takanaka's Rainbow Goblins. Also his album Alone. Honestly like 1/5th of the albums he's ever made are perfect. EDIT: Okay I'm also now finished with the video lol, good video! Agree with a lot of your takes, except I like Depeche Mode a lot more, but that's a personal thing, that synth style just warms me. Which is ironic since a lot of it is quite dark lol
One minor correction regarding LYSFLATH at 27:13 The album didnt come out on the first of january but actually in october. I presume you may have made this mistake from spotify, which gives many classic albums that the site doesnt know the date of the first of january as a generic fail safe. That is why so many albums from 15+ years ago are listed as coming out on new years day, even though, they didnt.
*fiiinally* an album ranking video where the person making sounds like they actually know what they're talking about lol. love what you have to say about all of these records, great video!
THE perfect pop record. I genuinely think almost every song there is 10/10 shit, it's dark yet not too much to be unpleasant, it's got a fucking sensual vibe that's unmatched, top tier production (like top 5 best produced albums I've ever heard), singing is amazing, hooks are amazing... do I need to go on?
For some reason Michael also gave a review of the deluxe edition of Violator. Fantano was talking about the original Violator which only has 9 songs. Personally I think it's near flawless synth pop. Personal Jesus is a bit of dud imo but the other 8 songs are fantastic.
It's actually not that good. Pretty boring knowing the band is doing the same tune again and again for more than 30 years now. I'm amazed their trick is still working though.
I think my honourable mention for the 70's is Crime of the Century by Supertramp. With the opener of school being a bolt of lightning to start an album, all the other songs are super catchy and unfortunately super relatable. I think my Favourite song on the album is probably "If everyone was listening" but "school" is also in conversation as well. I don't see many people talking about the record but incredibly enjoyable front to back.
this is one of my favourite videos i keep coming back to rewatch and to find new music. Maybe you could do something like fantano and do 10 albums from 60s to present that you think are near perfect
Well done, MichaelMan, even though there was no shout out to three of the greatest albums of the last century: Who’s Next, Synchronicity, and The Downward Spiral!
It's a shame you struggled to listen to the whole of Hounds of Love; side b is definitely out there but i feel like the storytelling is so compelling that i just can't stop replaying it. I recommend listening to it on her live album before the dawn, where she plays the whole of side b in sequential order. Loved the video though, and you make some really compelling points!
Dunno why I just got recommended this now but man, I love this vid! The language all throughout you talking about the songs just makes me wanna stop the vid and immediately go check them out- and I did quite a few times! Really enjoyed this, subbed c:
Worth noting, there are some albums he didn’t officially give a 10 but it was pretty implied. Albums like The Glow pt II and In Rainbows come to mind when you consider the way he talks about them.
Great video, its nice to see people's different oppinion, personally i would rank wu tang and toxicity higher. And i will give that swans record another listen, the way u described it made me very curious about i again, maybe at the time i first heard it, it just wasnt my thing, or i didnt pay much attention idk. Thx for making the video man, ur awesome! (Also sry about the broken english, im brazilian)
you definitely should, but you might not love it on first listen. I know I didn't. His voice and style can be pretty shocking at first, especially on his album from the 80s and later @@joaquin5929
Ok ok so basically calling Wu tang “inconsistent” is wild to me considering that every song has amazing parts, including the interludes, especially clan in da front. The chanting I always loved and thought it was extremely unique. The most valid part of the whole video through was you saying that i was the best song off of tpab. I also believe that so it’s nice to see someone else think the same way. Cool stuff.
Hey so your least favorite track off of Violator is a track that was added to the tracklist in a 2006 remaster that shows up on the Spotify version, but the release in the 90's only had 9 songs and ended with Clean, and I can imagine that is the version he is saying is a 10 in his 90's video. I don't mind the extra tracks but usually I just like to listen to the original 9 song tracklist, and I wanted to let you know just so you're aware and incase it changes your opinion at least somewhat.
I probably should’ve just reviewed world in my eyes to clean. Not sure how much my opinion would change without the extra tracks, but I definitely prefer the album without em.
Fantano has 3 secret 10/10 albums if you're interested in maybe updating the list or just giving them a listen: J Dilla - Donuts (Rated a Classic but it's really a 10 since he's mentioned it on podcasts and interviews that he thinks it's a perfect neo-soul record) Lcd Soundsystem - This is Happening (Rated a Decent 9 but he ranked it above Kids See Ghosts in his best albums of the 2010s video) Charli XCX - Charli (Rated a Decent 9 but he ranked it above Kids See Ghosts in his best albums of the 2010s video)
Also Anthony Fantano gave The Velvet Rope and Rhythm Nation 1814 a 10/10... • He said Control is an A-Tier and way better than Michael Jackson's Thriller in his ranking of Pitchfork's Best Albums of the 80s, Janet Jackson could've had an S-Tier in Pitchfork's Top 10 if it was Rhythm Nation 1814... • He ranked The Velvet Rope as an S-Tier in his ranking of Pitchfork's Best Albums of the 90s and did a classics review of it...
The 10s I personally agree with are lift your skinny fists, the black saint and the sinner lady, the money store, to be kind and in the aeroplane over the sea. And then 9s are to pimp a butterfly, sinner get ready and vespertine.
I think he has said glow pt 2 was one of if not his favorite album ever, so I think a 10 is implied but I dont think he has ever specifically stated its a 10
I stand by Caligula being the better release compared to Sinner Get Ready. It's an album I've listened to many times all the way through but absolutely destroys me every time. It's so raw and I love it to bits. Obvious bias - five favorite albums from the 2010s are Caligula, Bottomless Pit, TPAB, Goths, and Pop 2.
@@f4gsforpelethe albums feel too close in quality, or almost like a part 1 and 2 to a whole for me that I cant even disagree with anyone for preferring one or the other.
One of the main issues with MichaelMan2000's video is the lack of clear criteria for his rankings. He fails to provide specific reasons or standards for why he ranks certain albums above others. This leaves viewers wondering about the basis of his judgments, which is essential in a ranking video. In the realm of music criticism, it's crucial to strike a balance between subjectivity and objectivity. MichaelMan2000's rankings seem heavily skewed towards his personal preferences rather than objective musical qualities. While personal taste is valid, it should be supplemented with an analysis of the album's impact, innovation, and cultural relevance. It's evident that Anthony Fantano's 10/10 ratings have garnered a massive following, which speaks to the diversity of opinions within the music community. MichaelMan2000's video seems to dismiss this diversity, portraying his rankings as the ultimate truth. For a video that purports to rank albums critically, it falls short in providing substantial analysis of the albums in question. MichaelMan2000 could have delved deeper into the music, lyrics, production, and cultural context of each album, offering viewers a more informative and insightful perspective. Criticism should ideally maintain a constructive tone, fostering meaningful discussion. MichaelMan2000's video sometimes adopts a negative tone bordering on mockery, which can deter productive discourse. A more balanced approach would have been more conducive to healthy debate. I also would have like if the video was longer, and slightly less racist. Why is Public Enemy, Wu Tang Clan, and Mingus at the bottom?
@@MichaelMan2000is it really a chat gpt response lmaoo i didnt notice when i was reading it but when i read it back you might be right. How can you tell? Also i thought you described the music and why you liked it pretty well. Id like to see a video of you talking about your favorite artists and your personal favorite albums from them. Chat gpt is kinda right tho, music reviewing is rough and people have very very VERY strong opinions, so you do kinda have to throw that objective level of criticism into the review. But honestly sometimes i feel like fantano will be talking about something like its objective when really its personal preference, so i actually enjoyed you stating the difference between what your personal opinions were and the more objective parts about music. Cause like i said getting into music reviewing, especially talking about classic material, people get pretty fucking upset about that stuff lmao. So dont take it too hard fs
One of the main issues with ibrahimsyed6470's response is that it is a disinteresting argument and lacks supporting evidence. The response appears to be a collection of disjointed thoughts without a clear structure or logical progression. Additionally, ibrahimsyed6740 lacks proper citations to back up any claims he made about MichaelMan2000's video . Finally, the language used is often unclear or ambiguous, making it challenging for the reader to grasp the intended message which combined with the unformatted, disinteresting block of text culminating into a boring bland argument . In conclusion , ibrahimdyed6470's response to MichaelMan2000's video on Fantano reviews lacks the essential elements of a well-constructed and well-supported argument.
The main issue with nuclear4569's comment is their critique of ibrahimsyed6470's response to MichaelMan2000's video on Fantano reviews. While they validly point out the lack of supporting evidence, the absence of proper citations, and unclear language in ibrahimsyed6470's response, their comment itself suffers from its own issues. It appears to be overly critical without providing constructive feedback or specific examples from ibrahimsyed6470's response to substantiate their claims. Moreover, nuclear4569's comment lacks a clear structure and concise expression, making it difficult for the reader to grasp their intended message, which somewhat ironically mirrors their criticism of ibrahimsyed6470's response.
He provides clear reasons as to why he ranks WTC, Public Enemy, and Mingus the way he does. It doesn’t make sense to attribute his ratings to some kind of prejudice. You’re acting as if he didn’t call What’s Going On a perfect album and praise To Pimp a Butterfly. He also referenced other Hip-Hop records he would have preferred over Enter the 36.
On Abbey Road, you said you prefered the White Album (agreed), but Anthony Fantano actually once said on a live stream that if The Beatles have 1 or 2 10s, The White Album would be one of them. It's not a canon score but he said it before.

@@MichaelMan2000 keep going fam i really enjoyed the video. Ill keep watching ur next uploads and im def looking forward to seeing you get better at making these videos
Great video. I really enjoyed it. I'm in my mid forties, and so I have been listening to albums for about 35 years. Out of interest I started to list all the albums I would give 5 stars to, or 10/10. I stopped listing albums when I got to well over 100. So picking just 5 from each decade seems an impossible task to me. For example, Bob Dylan had at least 5 albums that are 10/10 imo, in the sixties alone! Stuart
The longer I sit with it sinner get ready might be my favorite of his modern 10s. I don’t say that easy because tpab is so fucking amazing and it’s probably on top most days, but fuck, when sinner get ready hits it really hits.
Idc what people say, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and its cult are rightly dunked on. Don’t get me wrong it’s great and very influential, but there’s a very specific type of person who categorizes it as so transcendent to be one of the best albums of all time. Funeral took influence from it and one upped the album, and recently Ants from Up There took influence from both and one upped that! And this is only within this specific scope of rock music. Needless to say it feels jarring seeing In the Aeroplane Over the Sea above so many legendary albums from absolute pillars of contemporary western music here
This might seem like a dumb question, but how do you know that fantano considers the albums that came out before the money store (his first 10/10 review) 10's?
Kids See Ghosts is the name of the group tho, it’s listed as that on RU-vid and Spotify, you are right but the duos name is KSG. It’s also technically an album not EP
i want to know what is so good about "in the airplane over the sea " because its not the first time I seing people rank it as a great album but I don't see what does it have more than other albums don't have, and im trying to figure what makes it so enjoyable.
21:44 those are interludes. They do them in a lot of albums. Its not part of the song proper. The one after Enjoy the Silence is referred to as interlude #2 or Crucified.
