  • AS with all their albums about half a dozen good keepers on it, which maybe more than most more famous bands make in a lifetime!

  • I just hate this guys face so much. Also his mouth word talking. 

  • its not like im a psychmlolgist -_-

    l m f a o

    gbv 4ever...4 life

    peace

  • They're from my home town!

  • Tobin Sprout's songs are the best thing on the album in my humble opinion. Tho I have only listen to it about 3 times. The over all sound is great though, I love all the lo-fi half song collage stuff. Didn't know there was another album out in the spring, sweet! I'll get the bong primed for that one!

  • Could you reveiw Ben Kweller's new album when its released in a few weeks please! The maccabees, and Nada Surf's new one would be pretty cool too.

  • Review The Maccabees - Given To The Wild

  • The Album is a disaster. Cyclone Utilities and We Won't..., The Big Hat And Toy Show, Imperial Racehorsing and Either Nelson ranks amongst the worst songs the band has ever recorded. Tracks like God Loves Us, Waves, Doughnut For A Snowman, The Unsinkable...and The Room Taking Shape is fairly enjoyable.

    1.5/5

  • You should definitely review something from Guided by Voices or Robert Pollard again, because You did a great job here! And yeah, I agree - this is basically material for the fans. Mostly because Guided by Voices is a cult-band, but not that much mainstream. Not a lot of people know this great band. Where I come from, I know NO-ONE who would have heard them or heard of them. Oh, and yeah - subscribed! ;)

  • KAYO DOT - GAMMA KNIFE

  • Common The Dreamer/The Believer..

  • SCHOOLBOY Q- Habits and contradictions

    Out on the 14th. Review it then please. He's got mad talent

  • Great review! I request you review The Diogenes Club's debut album "The Diogenes Club"!

  • you taking the time to review this album made my day , great review !

    

  • by the way anthony fantano do you like the chameleons? I'd very much enjoy your input on their album "script of the bridge" one of my favourites. yours truly - Broadcasterhouse.

  • guided by voices are my favourite band. a huge infulence on my own music. thanks for taking the time to review the record. yours truly - broadcasterhouse.

  • review Leviathan-True Traitor, True Whore!!!

  • That was a good, honest review. You get your thoughts across well. Let's Go Eat the Factory is a real grower. It gains more color and depth with each listen, and I feel it fits as a great progression from Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes and Under the Bushes Under the Stars.

  • i hate music critics 99.999% of the time, but Mr. Fantano, sir, you are one badass motherfucker. for some unknown reason(s), you are the only person i have ever found whom i can stand listening to while spilling his guts on musical opinion, much less come to subscribe, watch over n over, etc. keep doing what you're doing and you will be with Pitchfork, Under the Radar, hell, wherever ya want to be.  well done sir. now, if ya ever feel like checking out one of YOUR fan's bands, let me know!

  • Trying to re-attain former glory???

  • ALCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST!

  • How about that new Alcest?

  • 'Turisas' new album 'Stand up and Fight'!

    Would be an awesome album to review!

  • Don't really like that album. Sounds really not inspired to me. OK it's decent on most of the tracks here, but I feel like I already heard all this songs.

  • So, no one has suggest Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Âme yet?

  • U should use twitter dude! 

  • 6/10 Best New psychologist

  • Comment removed

  • any behemoth album ! polish black metal ftw !

  • You just like to hear yourself talk because you do not have any thing better to do....

  • @merjoe37 go away

  • Review new Matt Elliott record.

  • Review new Matt Elliott record.

  • Oh and I still think you suck, I only listen to you because we all know Cal is the next Rakim.

  • Have you by any chance given that new "Elmatic" Elzhi album a listen?

  • @neoslasher09 He reviewed it months ago.

  • Review Vladislav Delay - Vantaa

  • BAD RELIGION - THE DISSENT OF MAN

  • @JujuMobb shit album :(

  • I was seriously thinking Anthony was gonna give it a decent 7. 

  • Review a Black metal album soon? Been quite a while since you did one.

  • Deftones- White Pony

  • new explosions in the sky album

  • Just recently got into these guys. Listened to Self inflicted aerial nostalgia and Same place the fly got smashed, and loved both those albums. Will be listening to Propeller next. Probs be a while before i give this a listen.

  • Please review Nite Jewel's new single 'One Second of Love!

  • review either aoki's wonderland when it comes out on the 10th or zeds dead's adrenaline ep comin out on the 23rd. please?

  • I liked it. It wasn't all that spectacular or amazing but it had some catchy songs. It's not great enough to make feel like getting the album though, all I did was listen to it once on NPR.

  • Sounds like a mediocre solo Uncle bobby record nice to hear Toby again. There are a few good tracks though.

  • GBV fan here.. the new album was disappointing, except for Toby's songs

  • Puscifer - Conditions of My Parole

  • Hi needle Drop! Remember me!?

  • The Weeknd - Echoes Of Silence

    You already reviewed House Of Balloons and Thursday.

    Echoes Of Silence

  • Review the new Kayo Dot album.

  • @Xaxaar Ehh, probably should have mentioned the name: Gamma Knife.

  • Howler- GIVE UP AMERICA

  • Review commons new album

  • @jayhawk2424 I'm kind of sittin on the fence on this one. Some really nice tracks here and there, and cheesy sung choruses or BS production that ruins it for me. Am I the only one that prefered Electric Circus among all of Common releases?

  • Review Chris Webby - There Goes the Neighborhood

  • Okay so I'll probably get shit for this, but I remember you kinda liked his last EP...

    Skrillex - Bangarang

  • "Old Bones" was definitely the highlight of this LP for me. I'm a sucker for Auld Lang Syne, though, probably due to that bastard Frank Capra. I liked the last track on the most recent Tom Waits album, too.

    Anyway, I liked this album OK enough, but I don't think GBV is going to make a better record (for me, anyway) than Mag Earwig.

  • krystle castles

  • Nero-Welcome Reality? Plz

  • REVIEW COMMON!! THE DREAMER/THE BELIEVER!!!!!

  • Echoes Of Silence

  • Review S.maharba's self titled casette!

    Cal Chuchesta is legendary

  • Dark Castle - Surrender To All Life Beyond Form. Killer new doom with tons of new and interesting riffage, and I think a lot better than their last two releases (that I really liked). Give it a listen!!

  • Error

  • Vanilla Unity-We are Rising.

  • MYK Lost in Translations

  • What do those stickynotes under the album even say? They are always the same (I think)

  • THE WEEKND - ECHOES OF SILENCE

  • Review Pac Div nov release!

  • Review Young the Giant too

  • Review more Hip-Hop!

  • you should review the 2 Olivia Tremor Control reissues >:O

  • probably not gonna buy it, because i already picked up the doughnut for a snowman 7 inch and may just enjoy that instead and save my monies

  • 1, 2, 3 - Dreamland Pt. 1!

  • Disagree in parts, loved the album, nice review though. Review Mr. Oizo - Stade 2.......something different

  • Every time i see the album cover i think of the show "all that"

  • Anthony Fantano took one of my suggestions?! This is a good day. I was thinking strong 6, weak. 7.

  • Um, I dislike this album. Blah :/

  • Someone here's been visiting new album release dot net huh...

  • GDP USELESS EATERSSSS

  • BUUUUZZZAAAAARDS AND DREADFUL SCORES....A NECESSARY EVIL, I SUPPOSE.

  • I'm personnaly a hardcore fan of GBV, but I don't think they wanted to go back to their 90's sound or anything, the sound quality, construction and instrumentaion changes they made were details, I think what's really important in GbV is the songwriting skills, and I think this is something that never go away...tho I didn't listen to the album yet....(sorry if english mistakes are made)

  • Glad to see you haven't given up after three years of video reviews. Here's to 2012.

    Maybe consider tackling the new Leonard Cohen when it comes out? Could be good.

  • People don't know what an opinion is

  • Mr. pollard was my 4th grade math teacher!!! GBV rocks.

  • the weeknd's echo of silence

  • Pabst!

  • I just woke up at 4 am just to watch this.

  • when the tribes album comes out please review it !!!

  • Skrillex. Its a dirty job, but it has to be done Anthony.

  • what album by these guys would you recommend for someone new to them?

  • @MortonMovieMusic Alien Lanes got me into them. That and/or Bee Thousand are probably their most accessible albums.

  • you haven't reviewed 2ne1's 2nd mini album yet? what are you doing with your life anthony fantano

  • @fageable 2NE1? That K-pop band? I don't expect Anthony liking K-Pop. If he still listens to K-Pop, I think he has better albums or tracks to review.

  • @adsbegone if he likes good music, he should like the album. and it's not like he has anything better to do when he just reviewed a bunch of old albums

  • @fageable 2NE1? I never thought that K-Pop is "good music" to be honest to you. And no, he has anything better to do when he just reviewed a bunch of old albums, which is reviewing new albums.

  • @adsbegone open your mind buddy. 2ne1's ep is one of the best albums of the year, up there with m83, destroyer and shabazz palaces

  • fuck I love GBV

  • Pabst & Jazz! please do it :D

  • Sleigh Bells - Born 2 Lose TRCKRVW DO IT

  • satanicwaves

  • pabst and jazz

  • 6 is a little above average, what is so bad about that?

  • NEUROSIS NEUROSIS....when it gets released, of course.

    OH! And Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light Part II as well...that'd be totally awesome herr Anthony.

  • Why does the sky look so beautiful in the intro?

  • @BlackStarKeepShining I think Connecticut has beautiful skies.

  • GDP- Useless Eaters. review it

  • Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

  • pabst & jazz!

  • I really like this album. The album cover sucks though! Who thought a couple bland pics of a yellow vinyl was a good idea?

  • May I request more metal reviews? :3

  • @irishbull777 why?

  • @irishbull777 he asked what I'd like him to review next, so I let him know. What's so bad about that?

  • hmm, I thought this record was definitely better than a 6, but that's just my opinion.

  • skinny nigga pretty flacko

  • please review Mac Lethal's Irish Goodbye LP one of the dopest LP's i've heard in a while he just released it.

    "THE PALM WINE DRINKARD"

  • What a bastard. All this talk on the album and I like the sample track as well but the album isn't released anywhere yet.

    the needle how did you get a hold of it?!

  • @NoPlanSam it was released on iTunes about two weeks ago and mail-order copies were released on the 1st of this month.

  • what a disappointment.

  • Hey Anthony, I'm playing skyrim and need some black metal recommendations.

  • @j3fferson27 Check out Griseus by Aquilus. It's not what you have in mind, but it fits the game quite well nonetheless. Then join me in bugging Anthony to review the album.

  • Review the new NDAA signed by Obama on New Years.

  • Pretty Flako <3

  • TYCHO - DIVE :D

  • It seems like no matter how many times you say you like something, giving it a 6 still makes it seem like you don't. perhaps a color coded system rather than a numerical one would fix this. Feelin' a deep sea-foam to a very light green on this one.

  • Yeah, do the weeknd echoes of silence, just do it please

  • Awesome name for an album...

  • Review commons new album please

  • @wrestlinvids What's the fun in that?

  • @TheRiffCalendar At least Common is nothing like Lil Wayne though.
