12.03.18 | He's pretty harsh
I mean talks vektor up for 6 hours it feels like, then:
"8 to a 9" |
SymbolicInTime
12.03.18 | Has some weird opinions and isn’t very consistent with some of his views, but I enjoy listening to what he has to put forward. |
Caress
12.03.18 | He’s a hypocrite
Once likes an album and than trash talks it
Doesn’t know shit about music
I enjoy his humour tho, especially Cal |
Keyblade
12.03.18 | decent reviewer, shit taste |

12.03.18 | "Once likes an album and than trash talks it"
can people not fucking change their minds? |
THVRTVVN
12.03.18 | he's a phenomenal reviewer and if you hate him cause he likes different music, you're a moron and miss the importance of what he does |
Relinquished
12.03.18 | he has more thought put into arguments than most people who trash talk him. as for his opinions, people change just like anyone who participated in music reviews changed their views. his takes aren't hot but at least he helps promote stuff with his increasingly popular platform. |
Sinternet
12.03.18 | i admire his perspective and his analysis of things, and have found a lot of cool stuff through him
his retard fans put me off him |
onionbubs
12.03.18 | never heard of em |
killerK1
12.03.18 | he's like every reviewer, just an opinion piece. seems people treat his opinion as the default sometimes. |
Caress
12.03.18 | Says the album is good, then says he could never stand it =/= changing his mind
He’s just like that to validate his opinions which would sound stupid otherwise |
THVRTVVN
12.03.18 | yea needle drop fans need to die |

rabidfish
12.03.18 | i agree 100% with his more subjective way of reviewing and that he owns up to it.
I like watching his reviews, but oh boy is the fanbase insufferable. |

12.03.18 | Good band yeah, needs more riffs though. |
Underflow
12.03.18 | He's fine imo |
cazzill
12.03.18 | Yeah he is pretty arrogant I've not once see him thank a fan for a donation he gets on a live stream |

12.03.18 | used to watch him a lot but not really anymore
he's right about blue album vs pinkerton though |

12.03.18 | Every music related discussion will eventually devolve into a discussion about fantano. It's been proven by science. |
Underflow
12.03.18 | I like his teeth. |
BerryGarlicia
12.03.18 | the best teeth in the game |
Wubs
12.03.18 | He has his own taste, but is quite an entertaining and articulate reviewer. Most things he rates as 9+ I do enjoy a bit, but the only 10 I agree with is Swans - To Be Kind. |
Wubs
12.03.18 | Just stay clear of his political views lol |
THVRTVVN
12.03.18 | nah he be talkin real shit |
SteakByrnes
12.03.18 | I've always liked him, he's hilarious too |
MotokoKusanagi
12.03.18 | "Just stay clear of his political views lol"
lol he's a pretty standard liberal who hates SJW, nothing out of the ordinary really |
BenThatsMyJamin
12.03.18 | He is funny (his "cringing with" vids are hilarious) but he caters so much to the shitty meme trap crowd for views to the point that 80% of his fanbase actually doesn't know anything about music. This is hilariously illustrated in his "let's argue" twitter threads by the amount of people who unironically think you can still have a hot take on Kanye West in 2018. His reviews of actual good albums have no views and he does nothing to try to subvert this. It's just a bit sellout really, which I wouldn't normally care about, except he's held up as a representation of the underground music community. Also a raging hipster who thinks he's black |
RadioheadIsOverrated
12.03.18 | I mean he's pretty entertaining to watch even if I don't agree with everything. (This dude gave Lil Pump, MMLP2, and DAMN all a 7). |

You do realize that it's out of 10, right? |
onionbubs
12.03.18 | if hes givin vektor an 8 to a 9, it should be out of 100 |

12.03.18 | Fantano’s opinion is the only one that ever matters |
TheSpaceMan
12.03.18 | I'm not a big fan of his but he's certainly not offensive. Anyone who hates on fan bases is dumb |
Funeralopolis

TheMightyScoop
12.03.18 | I hate some of the albums he loves, and love some of the albums he hates, but overall his channel is what helped get me into and appreciate more obscure music that otherwise I probably would have never listened to. |

Minushuman24
12.03.18 | Not a fan, pretty lame taste, and not super entertaining videos tbh.
I don't hate him in the least though. |
dunnope
12.03.18 | I’m not that big on spectrum pulse but at least he’s not artv |
Casavir
12.03.18 | His Theories of Flight review is a treasure trove of bad opinions and arguably among the worst of the three. |
AlexKzillion
12.04.18 | I don't tend to watch the videos on his main channel unless he's talking about one of my fave albums/artists. He's a good reviewer tho ofc
I find his second channel to have way more interesting content, because he's not trapped in the ~10 minute review format and can just do or talk about whatever he wants.
Thatistheplan tho... now that channel was legendary |
GhostB1rd
12.04.18 | He's fat. |

12.04.18 | "I mean talks vektor up for 6 hours it feels like, then:"
Damn, only an 8 or a 9??
Anyways, i like him. I dont agree with him a lot of the time, but i appreciate that he gives his genuine opinion on things rather than try to tell everyone what they want to hear. |
GhostB1rd
12.04.18 | He ain't thicc but he definitely has some titties. |

12.04.18 | Oh yeah schoonda I remember him mentioning it in his sputnik interview |
Rolling Girl
12.04.18 | I like watching his Not Goods and stuff like that. I don't bother with his other channels and such. His fanbase is really the worst part of him. |
schoonda
12.04.18 | I actually forgot about that interview actually, might give it another read. I was trying to find his account and link it here but I think it's gone now ):
I don't agree with everything the dude says but he articulates himself very well and can be pretty funny, which is why I think he's so popular. Deepcuts is the same but has a bit more serious tone to it, but I think articulation is a key factor in both their success.
|
Space Jester
12.04.18 | His fanbase is really easy to ignore if you just don’t bother looking at comments.
Other than that, his reviews are mostly fine and he’s probably one of the best popular music critics right now. No one else really comes close to his level of notoriety and he does use his platform to showcase lesser-known artists if he likes their music. |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
12.04.18 | I think the level of analysis he puts into his reviews is often very overlooked. He actually cares about context behind albums and is good at conveying how it affects the music |
Source
12.04.18 | Hes definitely articulate. His taste is questionable however |
Skoj
12.04.18 | His review about DiCaprio 2 was fucking $$$. Even when I don't agree with his ratings, he puts forth decent arguments and draws effective comparisons. |

12.04.18 | Nice. |
Trophycase
12.04.18 | he's good. I watch his videos for the albums I'm interested in.
Also context totally matters. Don't be an idiot. Literally the only reason music changes is because of other music, zeitgeists, politics, etc... hip hop literally wouldn't make sense without context
Sounds wouldn't be "played out" or become tired if there wasn't the context of literally all the other music that sounds like it. |
J() Alexander
12.04.18 | "hip hop literally wouldn't make sense without context"
Uh... Okay I guess. |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
12.04.18 | I think most people like to think of themselves as being unaffected by context, but I think said effects tend to be more subconscious in how they influence your opinion on the music |

12.04.18 | Anthony Melon is great.
Does he have bad taste?
no.

Yes, since like always
Just kidding

Trophycase
12.04.18 | Sorry but saying you're unaffected by context is retarded. Context is what gives meaning to anything. Here's an example:
I listen to Mobb Deep knowing English
vs.
I listen to Mobb Deep not knowing English
See how my understanding and my relating to certain aspects of the music changes both the meaning and my experience of the music? |
mifzal
12.04.18 | except I'm not |

12.04.18 | Lyrics lol [2] |
hal1ax
12.04.18 | context is equivocal here. there's your context as the listener and then there's the context surrounding the artist and the creation of the music. i think what he meant was he doesn't care about context underlying the creation of the music. ie intentions of the artist, relativity to such and such, etc. |
