He's kind of a meme, but all around i'd say yes

yeah we love him

Everybody will say no but they do

He used to browse here

I'd suck his pee pee

He's got the same pull as pitchfork here

he's a flagrant narcissist that uses the fallibistic idea of "you know this is just my opinion, right?? xDDD" to deflect any and all criticism, acting like anyone who cares too much about his opinion has no life even though his opinion contains more sway than most critics and inevitably affects his army of sycophants who go on RYM and one-star every album he rates 6 or under.

that and his sense of humor boils down to shitty post-modern "haha irony xD". he's probably the most obnoxious internet personality and his reactionary responses to legitimate criticism show that he's insecure as fuck.

Yes and no
Depends on what he gives arcade fire's new album

Yes, he tells me what to like.

He's still not patrician enough to enjoy every genre

Can't stay mad at the melon, he's just too likable

I've never seen someone this mad over an internet personality before. Did he call your favorite album shit or something?

...

Everything wrong with Sup Forums can be traced back to him.

He's well spoken and seems like a nice guy, I just wish he didn't try so hard to be funny and self aware. He was more likable before the meme channel. He embraces the meme way too hard.

GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm half-shitposting, but honest-to-god Fantano needs to be taken down a peg, his 1,000,000 subscriber video was him jerking off for like 10 minutes on camera

No. Not even meming, I hate this dumb faggot and his shit entry level opinions. If you spend 2 hours looking into popular music you'll know the same amount he does.

The only way you could think he's "knowledgeable" is if you've never tread past memerap and top 40.

Hi Anthony.

>who go on RYM and one-star every album he rates 6 or under.
citation needed

lol what album did you like that he gave a

name actual criticism aimed at him which is undeservedly refuted by the point "that's just my opinion"

He's literally Sup Forums incarnate
Take a guess

I wonder if anyone even remembers this

Yes people remember it you fucking retard.

Deep Cuts is more patrish

Anyone who reviews music should be shunned. The act of reviewing music is pathetic, and dedicating your life to judging other people on something you can't even do yourself is laughable.

Sup Forums is full of people who don't know anything about music other than meme parroted opinions, and that's exactly what Fantano's reviews are, so naturally he's Sup Forums approved.

If you want to have generic opinions, listen to mediocre music, and be completely uninformed about what makes good music good then watch Fantano. He offers no real insight as to whether the artist was doing anything technically or artistically impressive in their work because he is incapable of recognizing it. All he really does is describe vague properties of what he hears using a thesaurus in a very pedestrian manner.

Also his fake laugh is insufferable.

Fuck that pretentious dickhead

his meme reviews are insulting his fans but theyre too retarded to realize it. He fucking hates them and their constant shitting of his comments section.

If you open up a tab with Sup Forums, /r/indieheads, /r/hiphopheads and pitchfork you can pretty much see what Fantano's going to talk about in his review. He just sits on those 4 tabs for a few days and writes down what everyone says, then pastes it into a word file and uses that as a review. That's why he always waits like a week or so before reviewing an album.

He has no original content. Also, on his second channel all he does is steal random articles he finds on the internet about music and reads them out loud. He's not even a real journalist. The only reason people subscribe to him is because they're impressionable children who are easily entertained by meme culture.

this. anthony is not even good at reviewing things because of how redundant and formulaic his videos and vocabulary is

What video is this from?

Is there an actual real music critic on Youtube that knows what they're talking about? Even that other guy Deep Cuts doesn't offer any insight or interesting opinions other than shit you could read on wikipedia or reading off a list of adjectives.

Preferably someone who actually knows how to make music. I wish there was someone like Adam Neely who reviewed music.

Fantano is a fucking incompetent clown who's just trying to cash in on the ignorance of plebs who think they're getting enlightened but are just being fed bullshit that you could read on Sup Forums and reddit from retards who don't know anything about anything

She's pretty cool, but she might have some sort of mental illness

what if we started reviewing Fantano's reviews?

thatistheplan is better

NOT GOOD

post sauce

Dare I say I like his personality but hate his taste in music?

>t. newfags

No idea, never met him.

I can't see anything

Don't bother, just dadrock fags being autistic as usual.

I really like his new channel where he comments on music related articles.

I also feel I would get along with him as a person.

I do think he overrates/underrates very hyped albums' scores on purpose. On the other hand you could simply stop the video before he says a score. Thoughts>Rating

...

This. He seems like a chill guy but I don't give a fuck about his opinion. Same goes for literally everybody else, including my friends.

Not sure if this is pasta but it's 100% true

YA KNOW WHAT I-I-I-I-I- THINK I PREFER THAT ROBERT CHRISTGAU GUY HE'S REALLY SUCH AGOODREVIEWER

Sup Forums rigged some youtube competition to get him featured and got him loads of subs

he killed Chester

...

it is now

>he's probably the most obnoxious internet personality

I take it you've never heard of Channel Awesome.

i'm saving this one

Still does desu
don't you remember the magic whip?

he gets all his opinions from reddit and Sup Forums and sometimes pitchfork

if you've ever seen the human centipede then you pretty much have an idea of what the review process for him is like

Fantano doesn't even enjoy the music, thinking he can review one album a day with objectivity

Also his alter ego's mixtape was just a ridiculous fail trying to show how ironic he can be
>Yeah it's shit music but it's ironic ahah don't blame me pipl
>What no I didn't make the same as pinkguy what you the talk about

a week*
Sorry

>projecting

i think it's hilarious that fantano is narcissistic enough to vehemently read every thread about him on Sup Forums, so he probably knows how shitty his channel is

And he will pretend he doesn't know

Anyone who listens to music should be shunned. The act of listening to music is pathetic, and dedicating your life to listening to other people do something you can't even do yourself is laughable.

Sup Forums is full of people who don't know anything about sound other than meme parroted opinions, and that's exactly what music is, so naturally it's Sup Forums approved.

If you want to have generic opinions, listen to mediocre sounds, and be completely uninformed about what makes good sounds good then listen to music. It offers no real insight as to whether the artist was doing anything technically or artistically impressive in their work because no artist has ever done anything technically or artistically impressive in their work. All music really does is cause air to vibrate in a very pedestrian manner.

Also music's fake emotions are insufferable.

Also their fake porn is insufferable.

you're not wrong

...

Nope

...

that and this post boils down to shitty post modern "haha words xD"
i hate this meme
cars are just boxes on wheels too, right?

He cool.. I don't know how good of a meme he is, if that is at all true.

How is he likeable?

>Fantano
Shills hard for entry level indie/memerap albums.
>Scaruffi
Has a perverse hatred of certain artists (Beatles, Bowie, etc). Is a little too obsessed with buttmetal.
>Christgau
Words all of his reviews as densely and impenetrably as possible because it's very important that the reader knows he's smart, but in the end he just likes basic, stripped-down punk rock and Afropop that has a message he agrees with.

>what is with the Gas album
>what is with the Steven Wilson album
and i just name the two that came to my head, im sure there are plenty more

has anyone been able to confirm that he sold out to tidal on the 4:44 review? he had a bunch of anti spotify content the days following that

he's also been exceptionally shekel thirsty as of late, with spamming mediocre trash content on his second channel and shilling his shirts before his reviews

As a person he's certainly likable, as a music critic I can't stomach him.

Cal is better desu

he gets tons of money I.E. ad revenue from his meme reviews, don't think it's motivated by anything more than that, bud

isn't that nostalgia critic? I mean hes cringy but is it that bad now?

>implying not watching Fantano is newfag

go home retard

No you're not, stop shitposting and fuck off.

>I take it you've never heard of Channel Awesome.

Fantano is absolutely not the most obnoxious or arrogant Internet personality, but that's because the bar is absurdly low.

He's been getting a lot worse and a lot less funny over time. He's a reasonable enough guy but in terms of content quality, it's not worth more than occasional background noise for me to learn about new musicians or whatever.

Worse, his opinion of himself seems to have unwarrantedly inflated more than I would've expected within the past year or so. It's not overt in every video, but especially in his new "fantano" channel the pretentiousness really oozes off.

Also his taste is not great.

He's just literally the only person in Youtube history to make a solo all-genre music review series with good production value. As soon as more people come along within the next few years with equivalent or better production but better commentary and insight, he's gonna be left in the dust and will probably have to stick to his memeshit.

WAD UP KEK BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I agree with all your points about Fantano, but I don't think reviewing music is necessarily a bad thing.

I really would love if some great artists later became reviewers though. That's how it is in other fields like sports and business and politics.

I feel you

His fake laugh that he has to do in every single video, usually within the first 30 seconds just makes every video unwatchable. Open any of his videos and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Yeah it's fucking awful.

The sad thing is I don't like or even actively dislike 80%+ of his videos, but I still watch at least half of them because he makes so much fucking content and I need my background noise so I don't wither and die of loneliness in my studio apartment. I would stop watching them ASAP if he had a competitor making videos at a similar pace.

His real flaw is that he just doesn't understand music or art in general well enough to review it. His entire identity is only well known because of the sheer amount of content that he pumps out, which isn't a good thing because it just adds up to a lot of really shitty at worst to mediocre at best videos. He will ever be able to talk about an album outside of the scope of superficial descriptions and memes. I don't think he really understands and appreciates music, he just listens to as high of a volume as possible and forms a vague impression on everything he listens to.

He's a good reviewer. I don't care about reviews so he's irrelevant to me, but he seems like an alright guy.
There's only so much you can say about music honestly. The strings are airy and soaring, bro.

>he just doesn't understand music or art in general well enough
You don't need to be a music theorist to understand popular music.

why are you even on this board

you're one of his underage viewers that doesn't even care about music, you'll be easily entertained by anything even remotely resembling a meme

You do if you want me to care enough about what you have to say to consume your content.


Also, you don't need to understand music theory to understand music as an art form, which Fantano clearly doesn't, but it does help immensely.

you're the fucking tard, it's from his King of Limbs review

You are the biggest pleb I have ever witnessed. Not to mention a complete and utter retard

Would you rather watch a film review channel on someone who knows film theory, production techniques, and history and took a few film classes or some random meme spamming adjective listing melon?

The only reason he gets away with it is because music is a more abstract art form so it's easier to fool people with very little knowledge into thinking you know what you're talking about. I don't know anything about graphic design but I could probably bullshit my way through a logo review using Fantano's style.

His reviews are so devoid of meaningful content.

>this song sounds like this artist's older stuff
>this song doesn't sound like this artist's older stuff
>adjective comma adjective noun
>"I really like the textures and the vibe of this song"
>"I feel like they're just phoning it in on this one"
>"This song doesn't really seem fully fleshed out"

I get that he's trying to appeal to a general audience but these are mostly bigtime music fans here, you can throw in a bit of music theory and actual specifics. How about a little extrapolation or analysis or maybe explain in a more technical way why a certain song or section is bad or good.

Most of his reviews are like those shitty Youtube movie reviewers who just describe what happened in the movie and try to color it with their ~~PERSONALITY!! XD~~

For the people who do genuinely care about his opinion for some godforsaken reason, you're better off just skipping to the score.

not the response we needed but the one we were all waiting for
