Mogwai- Hardcore Will Never Die, but You Will ALBUM REVIEW

[Eddiohead]

june 2nd, music box.

[stude444]

Bad ass and melodic is how I like my BM's....

[Venomous9]

This is one of my favourite albums of the year. I'd say it's better than Young Team actually. Amazing to hear many of these tracks live as well, White Noise was a fucking beautiful opener and Rano Pano, How To Be A Werewolf and You're Lionel Ritchie were amazing. George Square Thatcher Death Party was amazing as well, the vocoder vocals really helped.

Excellent review.

[bmclaughlin01]

They are amazing!

[jessethedevil]

Been thrashing it for the last month. Favourite album of 2011

[KnorpelDelux]

One of the best reviews I have ever watched. An awesome band, an awesome album and you just know what you are saying...I think I watched this like 15 times now after I own the album for half a year and yeah...subbed!

[theconjuring2]

they have some good songs and im curious to buy the album cause the songs i heard are really good

[KnorpelDelux]

@theconjuring2 Buy it, buy it, buy it :)

[PattyGreendale]

Its like the strokes, have you listened to angles or room on fire? "yeah, not as good as is this it?" so annoying!

[nmh2112]

do you watch tim and eric?

[emissionNebulae]

@nmh2112 It's pretty obvious he is a fan, he seems like a pretty cool guy unlike most Youtube celebs.

[lichkingpwner]

hardcore will never die but you wiil. that title just reviews itself

[youmayatutorials]

Its hard to review an album that sounds 100% better live :D

[townshipps]

@youmayatutorials So true . Once you see Mogwai live all you want to hear ......... is them LIVE !!! Of course you still listen to the cd's but you always look back on the live performance wanting to relive it . I have only seen them once live and was blown away . I bought my ticket for a show in Frisco to see them again and i couldn't make it due to job obligations . Yes .... I was bummed . But bottom line ..... Mogwai is awesome to hear live .

[RockerDuk]

Review Rumpistol- Talk To You EP !!

[Mandelqirl]

Very awesome album, love it. :)

[iamcarpetpython]

Love the new Mogwai Album. The burn in my soul.

[ledzeppelinrichy500]

what is that song at the end

[daddyfatsaxohten]

I'm from the place and the way you said Glasgow like it started with a K made my day

[MrCrim123]

Villain get the money like curls, they just tryin to get a nut like squirrels in this mad world.

[colinmcb]

Nice review there fella!

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

Really...no love for "How to be a Werewolf?"

:(

[condorlio07]

Hey you should grow your hair out.

[LeGronk]

Mogwai forever

[steadric]

the beginning = wtf!

[OnlyFearOfDeath]

I want that madvillain vinyl behind you!

[muzik313]

Circa Survive's appendage EP is quite good, but not too new. It's late 2010. Check it out though.

[Bzsohot]

Whoa, he's a hottie!

[ArturDZGN]

;ogwai just keep on getting better and better. I love this album.

[lbanezist89]

I saw their concert in Zurich yesterday - It was mindblowing!! Live they sound even more huge than on their albums, just incredible! One of the best shows I've ever seen up to now :)

[sonoflife74]

"...the assumption that Mogwai no longer "has it", is bullshit". Truer words have never been spoken

[bluefoz]

I don't think I ever saw a review where I agreed more with you. I probably would've given it a decent 8, though.

[abelineshis]

Amazing review dude! you are so totally right, Hardcore is an amazing progression in the line of the Mogwai albums, San Pedro blew my my brains out, the whole thing is a freaking awesome record

It's the first time i see one of your videos, i though you were some king of geeky steve-o, but i consider you made a great job!!

[TheMattC13]

Do The Cold Still by The Boxer Rebellion :P

[MegaKidT]

Re: krautrock influence... Barry Burns (keyboardist/vocalist) does spend a bit of time in Berlin (and even owns a bar there!).

But yeah, pretty great record. A bit at the beginning where they're doing something new, a bit near the end where they're revisiting their classic sound.

[killamangiro91]

YUCK!!!

[musicforchewfaygs]

heh, melodic bm...

[AgnosticCoffee]

hardcore will never die is a masterful album. i especially like the song white noise. great review man.

[slye1991]

Anthony i think you should start mixing up the edits you have a lot of zoom ins on the face just my opinion

[SanJuanCreole]

nice review bro! i luv this band! 

[ClassicRocker77]

Are you ever gonna do an album review on Beach fossils ?

[6jordanf9]

i watched this right after a bong hit and it tripped me out. Awesome !

[Anders898Avey]

@6jordanf9 HAHAHA LUCKY! I loved that beginning to the vid hahah

[Ms23joshua]

Puro Instinct!

[revolutiongeorge]

amazing intro

[RedMangoFromPhuket]

thanks a lot, Anthony!

[cptspoofy]

Trippin off the beat kinda, drippin off the meat grinder, heat niner, pimpin, strippin soft steet minor. China was a neat signer, trouble with the script digits

Double dip/bubble lips, sorrow less midget

Borderline schizoid, sort of fine tits tho

Pour the wine hold the grind, quarter to nine, lets go

[slye1991]

@cptspoofy Madvillain!! you got good taste my friend

[JBOstler]

Loving the DOOM album cover you got behind you.

[cptspoofy]

@JBOstler I watched the whole thing hoping for some new scoop on Madvillainy 2.

[GrimFaust]

Review Love & Nature by Le Corps Mince de Francoise!!!!

[thoughtcriminalxxx]

please review the new bright eyes!

[tESsEarthSnake]

Rocking the threadless tee, i see!

[DaveXerox]

You should definitely review the new Low album when it comes out; from what I've heard it could be a classic - less experimental than Drums and Guns; a 'mature' album, but somehow all the better for it.

[Cyb3rElectr0]

please review YUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[TerrordactylWorld]

Review The Birth by Stardeath and The White Dwarfs.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

I don't know man, it's a 10/10 in my book. Beat the crap outta Young Team.. You talked about evolution alot, which is how I'd define the sound of this album. Especially in recording quality, it's just.. Flawless.

[Bulldog19892]

I CHALLENGE YOU SIR to do a track review the "Most Unwanted Music"!

[hysteriks]

Call me emo, but I like Bright Eyes!

REVIEW IT!

Please!

[mynameisgodihateyou]

@hysteriks YOU EMO SHITARD

[ktboardhead]

You should do the new September Malevolence when it comes out later this year. been waitin for it for a long time.

[Vocalities]

Never listened to Mogwai in my life. If you had to recommend three or their seven albums, which three would they be?

[sonoflife74]

@Vocalities Young Team, Happy Songs For Happy People & the latest (which is being reviewed here)

[DaveXerox]

@Vocalities Young Team, Rock Action and The Hawk is Howling would be my recommendations.

[42themeaningoflife]

Diminuendo is the term you were looking for, I believe.

[Alex703rockstar]

Sounds like someone was making cereal in the kitchen.

[kalli199]

to help you pronounce vreid... its kind of pronounced "vraid" where the "a" has the same sound as the "a" in words like "mac" or "camp".

awesome norwegian band btw yes ;)

[Death2Heath]

Review Asobi Seksu's "Fluorescence"!

[PorroFirst]

I like the new interactive approach.. "Cal is doing dishes" - so interesting. Good work, Anthony.

[DoggieBark]

Any reason for Madvillainy in the background? It reminded me that I need to get it on vinyl.

[drakeblackmon]

review Stalley's "lincoln way nights" or Onry Ozzborn's "hold on for dear life"...

[lancebramsay]

Still need to give this whole album a spin.

Have you listened to My Dad vs. Yours' new album "Little Symphonies"? Pretty cool post rock album, or at least from what I've listened to so far.

[EyeJustSkateboard]

Madvillainy on vinyl.

[CliffRichardsPissSac]

Anthony, its Pj Harvey time

[joemunkey30]

great album!

great editing! i think we take your awesome vegas skills for granted aha

[slchotmail]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review the new bright eyes album!!! Its awesome! and i would like you to acknowlegde that XD it would be awesome and ill be your best friend :D

[jorgemirmusic]

The new Telekinesis would be a swell review!

[WeEatBrainz]

Anthony! Can you review Moby's new ep????

[spiderbiscuits]

Where does he live? Its always got snow on the ground.

[darkli111]

please, please, please review lupe fiascos lasers wen it drops!!!!

[thprmr]

@darkli111 "Madvillainy" by Madvillain.

[patrickai]

MADVILLAN!!!

[lollard]

Seefeel - Self-titled.

[RichardBLongly]

oo oo oo, what's that album on the wall, Anthony or anyone, it looks so familiar. B\

[yodasoda10690]

REVIEW the new PJ Harvey!!! be cool man do it.

[JOSERULZ69]

I thought about it when I first heard the album title and then again when you mention the half tempo "breakdown". Do you feel like maybe there was some hardcore influence on this? I'm talking about some very light influence.

[DeSpookrijder]

The Psychic Paramount "II"

What is there with me and spelling?

[DeSpookrijder]

I think you could take a listen to The Psychic Paramound second album called "II" on NPR.ORG and review it.

[lSTAYHlGH]

please dont review the new bright eyes

[lancebramsay]

Wasn't too impressed from the few tracks I listened to but I shall give the whole album a spin soon.

Have you given Earth's new album "Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1" a spin? Probably my favorite post rock album of twenty eleven.

[DeSpookrijder]

@lancebramsay please click the needle drop on the top of the page and type earth in the search engine. Review done already.

[FoldingSunrise]

I'm really really digging this new album.

[stevedave40]

do you ever do a review of an album then feel differently about it after additional listenings later on down the road? whether it is more positive or more negative?

[stevedave40]

i've seen you wear this shirt before

[OnlyFearOfDeath]

madvillainy !!!!!!!!!!!!

[bcipolla1]

PLEEEEEEEASE REVIEW THE NEW SIMS ALBUM, "BAD TIME ZOO." GREAT NEW HIP HOP FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS SCENE. LOVE THE CHANNEL! KEEP AT IT!

[DanAran162]

The new Bright Eyes is shit. Don't waste your time.

[EpsilonKias]

Request: Fen's new album "Epoch". I've listened to it and found it a good Agalloch-ish Folk/Black metal album and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I know you've done a few Metal reviews recently so I wouldn't mind if you don't check it out.

[RunyonGrn07]

bright eyes. very much.

[RunyonGrn07]

that opening killed me. ahahaha.

[mateus11421]

Please review Adele's 21. You're just too great of a critic.

[GrembyTheWalrus]

Review PJ Harvey's new album. Please?

[metalgearfan123able]

It's been a while since you reviewed some DEATH METAL.

[metalgearfan123able]

It's been a while since you reviewed some DEATH METAL.

[metalgearfan123able]

It's been a while since you reviewed some DEATH METAL.

[Thismeaningtoitall]

moowa

[Thismeaningtoitall]

moowa

[modestrocker1]

woah end of alejandro music video 

[LiamMawford]

I completely agree with you on this :) I just found Mogwai yesterday, when I heard Reno Pano on the radio *gets album*.

Request: Track Review of Moby's new track 'Be The One'. It's interesting.

[kdito]

Review the new flaming lips song "two blobs fucking".

[Fluke1K]

This is album is amazing may be my favorite from Mogwai

[tdeeez09]

I cannot express to you how much I love Mogwai. Every album, every EP, every track. Could you recommend any Mogwai-esque bands to me?

[ThatRottenGuy]

My first time with Mogwai and i liked that very much.

Could you, please, make review of latest "Social Distortion - Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes". I was very surprised by this album, although i do not have any previous experienci with the band.

[Quantikz]

Love this album. too raging to cheers kills me

[NolansNoise15]

Yuck tomorrow, lets do it

[blackmetalblunt]

Great review, Ive been waiting for this album review. And im really excited about the review for Vreid. Easily one of the most consistent bands over the last 4 albums. Interested what you think on the new one. Also, I request a review for the new Lifelover PLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEE

[RassaLibre]

Vreid?! Oh c'mooooooooooooon!

[SubHuman24]

Your video edits are always insane. :P

Would you review the new Asobi Seksu? It's gooooood (I think... my opinion... yeah. Ha!)

[itdidntgosowell]

You should review the new Bright Eyes - people's key. It's been getting pretty mediocre reviews, but I like it alot. Wondering what you think of it.

[huamanJR]

do wiz khalifas new album in march so he knos tht his old stuff is betta than his hip hip pop black and yellow

[Granatsjokk]

You should do a review on the new Mother Mother album!

[XXRitsukaChosyXX]

YAY you finally review it! I'm lovin this album 2,but dude your crazy edit there at the beginning scared the crap out of me! (i started having david lynch & silent hill flashbacks XD lol) was that your dad at the beginning?

[superfly299]

Please review Asobi Seksu - Fluorescence, otherwise just keep up the good work.

[gregahunt]

word up. nice work

[Pretsal]

I really couldn't get into young team, but I do enjoy hardcore will never die. Glad you finally got to this review. 

[blindfold383]

Do Flood of Red there great

[radio667]

Mogwai Forever  \m/ !!!

[311ed]

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

[radio667]

You sir have Fried my brain !!

btw .. I Love all their CDs - not just Young Team ;)

[robgeorge87]

hi anthony, theres a fairly well known band in England called Let's Wrestle..they've been signed onto Stolen Records for a while and their album was my personal favourite of 2009...however they have recently jumped labels onto Merge Records and their album 'In the Court of the Wrestling Let's' is going to be released in the states next month.....i'd love to hear what you think of it because its well loved over here. if you dont want to review it...i STRONGLY reccommend that you give some time! x

[metalmania7778]

If you wanna know what being high on salvia is like, 0:26 - 0:33

[zaxjackson636]

Wow, So glad I checked this out. The album title made it seem like they were a cheesy death metal band. lovely sounds.

[Itasattc]

Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will; Isn't that Cal Chuchesta's catch phrase?

[joeynipote]

dude is it possible for you to have a favorite genre. your talking about mogwai and vreid and moshing with a madvillain album in the background. I mean much respect for having time for every genre but can u settle on one? DOOM is sweet by the way

[thprmr]

FUCK YEAH VREID!

[jplas1]

Anthony, are you into reggae or jam bands? I haven't really seen any reviews from those genres

[Yaksniffer]

MADVILLIAN!!

[bluey1981]

Finally someone talking some sense about this album.

[fartboy17575]

can you review negura bunget's new album? it was released last year, but i figured it's still new enough :P they're ambient black metal, kinda like agalloch

[ConvergeInChains]

Oh, and you should review the new Glassjaw EP "Coloring Book".

[AwesomeA1010]

I really liked this album, theres a lot to listen tooo

its not the kind of thing im going to listen to forever once i have a grasp of it, but like a certain animal collective LP, it's going to be great walking-around headphone music till I've figured it all out knowmsayin

[Mcruled]

WHY YOU NO LEIK TEH RADIOHEADS

[DominoDreamer]

gotta review radiohead's album when it comes out saturday. pleeeease

[tottenham19]

Review Hey Rosetta!'s new album "Seeds"! You'll like it!

[Kinshasa9200]

it's noi? i thought it was pronounced new! damn it!

[TheTelepathicKid]

This album is definitely better than Hawk, which was a huge disappointment for me since it came out after Mr Beast, my favourite Mogwai album.. :|

[yoKevinyoo]

Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told would be a good hip-hop album to review.

[Fluke1K]

MADVILLAIN I can feel MF Doom staring at me from the corner

[QajarCoffee]

vreid!

[mborlan1]

I really thought what you said about Mogwai's albums each having their own distinct personality or theme was spot on. I see no such thing as old Mogwai or new Mogwai, you have to take each album on its own. My favorite Mogwai moments are the last five minutes or so of Mogwai Fear Satan, but I'd probably take Rock Action over Young Team nine times out of ten.

[dvdjjl]

People's suggestions are always so predictable. Review something you want to, the videos are always better when that happens.

[sergio1612]

Forget P.J Harvey....review Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise

[AbsoluteJust]

Please do a track review for Genry Gene preferably Trading Breaths. I'd really love to hear your two cents.

[4444HD]

I like how he flattens his eyebrows at the beginning of most videos :P

[enyafreak2007]

I'm a new Mogwai listener, but this album gets me really excited about listening to their previous albums,yeah!

And yes, you should really review PJ Harvey's new album this week for sure <3

TND will never suck Anthony, because you're here to keep it awsome :-)

[nonserviamreviews]

so... Mogwai is like Orson Welles?

[ofarevolution441]

0:31.

Oh hai, Aphex Twin.

[grayfox622]

Franz Ferdinand is also a band haunted by their first album.

[StickManga]

I loved this album and loved the vocoder vocals

[Davemo69]

i dont listen to them but did you say they havea song titled george square thatcher death party, wow im from glasgow and that s ounds likea great song ahhhhhh whata fuckign song title

[jeremologyy]

by the way, TND isn't sucking lately, so chin up! (hows about the new TuneYards track, "Bizness" ? It's frackin awesome)

[hillysats]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, i'm still waiting for my preorder

[rodrigopacheco12]

Biased review? hell yeah

[MrCrooked91]

Anthony review yuck!!

[MetallicaFan349]

Review Lamb of God's new track "Hit the Wall." It's finally been released with lyrics

[scubathemighty]

please review, yucks new album!!

[ignoranttwat]

Sir, new Bright Eyes sir. New Bright Eyes please, sir.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@ignoranttwat

Word.

[adamh234]

would love it if u reviewed everything everything man alive album

[nickux17]

Great review as always! Would love to see a review of the new Bright Eyes album. As the band's swan-song I think it's pretty good. It got a pretty harsh treatment over on Pitchfork but that's not surprising.

[LeTesticlops]

ULCERATE
