  • their singer sounds like mark arm

  • I try to listen to the album while you review parts of it to see if I agree with you. You mentioned "they kind of sound like Swans" just as I listen to Cyclotron. YUP. DEFINITELY HEAR IT.

  • heavy heavy reminds me of godflesh back in the day

  • hey look, it's an album that's good and not hip bullshit.

  • Review The Birthday Party: Junkyard. kthnx. And if you don't give it 10/10, I'll just have to kill you.

  • REVIEW THAT TAIGA ALBUM YOU MADE

  • I haven't tackled these guys yet, but if this album is as cool as their Gorilazz themed artwork, then it should be pretty awesome.

  • Haven't quite tackled these guys yet, but the album is as cool as the Gorillaz themed artwork, then it might be pretty awesome.

  • 'Anthony Fantano.....' good music reviews though, wish he'd just cut the gimmicks

  • Anthony Fantano's max headroom like stutter fx are getting more tired than Xiu Xiu's mentions of abortion, suicide and incest.

  • Hey! I'm Cal Chuchesta, and I'm saying a thing! Hucha!

    YUSSSS!!

  • I read most of the comments, kinda disappointed people would talk about anything but the music. Glad you respond to most though, keep up the good work =)

    Anyway despite giving it a good rating (7 is pretty high for me), I felt you were not really excited about this ablum. I am though, I really feel it's one of the better noise albums out there and I think it's closer to Cop Shoot Cop and industrial rather than Swans and gothic. Sacred Bones rarerly disappoints

  • @ma5t1ka yea, cop shoot cop, i can hear that.

  • Review Ashanti "The Woman You Love"

  • Track Review-"The Woman You Love" Ashanti

  • Review Lana Del Rey next her album came out today!!!!

  • kinda old but would like to see a thorough review of it, in my eyes its really worth a listen. Joe Budden - Mood Muzik 4

  • SWANS

  • just got into this band by randomly clicking through Needle Drop reviews.

  • This style was already taken on back in 1996 by Plexi

  • Anthony Fantano laughing is getting more tired than Snoop smoking weed at preschools.

  • 360 falling and flying!

  • Review 360! Flying and falling

  • whats the exit song

  • Take the Tim & Eric B$M pledge

  • review Leonard Cohen

  • 'Bodies in the Dunes' is one hell of a track.

  • Lana, DO IT!

  • Thank you Anthony for being one of the few youtubers who actually responds to his crowd. I really appreciate it. I really hope one day I'll have an album out that you would review. who knows... I can dream can't I!?!! I should start recording my songs I geuss. Thank you once again, keep doing what your doing!!

  • You should really do a review on the new Nekromantheon album "Rise, Vulcan Spectre". Great old-school thrash from Norway!

  • Anthony, you forgot to put your fav tracks down.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not Cal Chuchesta and i'm saying a thing

    3:30 - Wax on, Wax off.

  • Has TND reached p4k relevancy?

  • @zzzaaakkkaaa Yes. Once the hype faded Anthony was right about the new M83, where p4k shit the bed and gave it a ridiculously high score. Similarly, they BNM'd Schoolboy Q after Anthony panned it, which I found lulzy. P4k has too many writers, and a lot of them come off as either fanboys or holding a grudge. TND is balanced in ways p4k will never be, if we're honest. #Pray4Schreiber

  • @daddyfatsaxohten Finally someone said it

  • @zzzaaakkkaaa It had reached long ago.

  • Hey, that laugh sounded especially like you were high today... even included a little cough at the end.

  • Skinny Puppy-HanDover LOOK INTO MY EYES O.O YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. :D

  • BEST INTRO LAUGH/COUGH EVER!!

  • whenever you say rock I hear it in cal's voice

  • ah what is this ad

  • Sorry, new to the channel... I like this review idea, can you review albums from the past? If so, In Waves by Trivium, that would be cool.

  • oh no hes puttin adds at the beginning of his vids TND IS SELLIN OUT!

  • Zola Jesus-Conatus

  • @michaelgouviea Unfortunately, he said that he won't review it.

  • That is a fine Q and Not U record hanging behind you, good sir.

  • Hey, could you please review This Means War by Attack Attack? I think it would be interesting to see your take on the album and just your opinion on metalcore in general. Thank you.

  • lana del rey..why? BECAUSE I SAID SO -:(

    :D

  • Do you like The Chariot?

  • @Treggify Ahh I used to love that band! haha cool.

  • N E H R U J A C K E T S

  • The new Lacuna Coil Dark Adrenaline album

  • Hey, you wore that shirt in your Earth- Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I album review.

  • Anthony can u please check out the new chino Moreno band crosses??? Just dropped 2nd EP

  • Grimes - Visions

  • You should review the first Barrakuda McMurder album.

  • ok Anthony what are you laughing at i mean this is getting ridic...... OH WAIT!!!!!!! I just got it hahahahaha that is pretty hilarious

  • can you please review Self Rule EP by Kembe X? He's really new but he deserves attention

  • You may have given it a 7/10 but your review was so energetic I must get this album immediately now.

  • was that the old font on cal? i think it was, fuck yes

  • Please review Matt Corbys New Ep...

  • Please review the new Matt Elliott album: The Broken Man. I saw him live and it's been one of the best concert i ever saw

  • Would like to see a review of Ash Borer's S/T from Psychic Violence/Pesanta Urfolk.

  • @omaraandrew Yes! Please review the new Ash Borer. Good call.

  • WHAT. advertisement at the start of the needledrop? no way

  • What is the album that is on the wall???

  • @SouthernPoint52 No Kill No Beep Beep by Q And Not U, aka one of the best post-hardcore albums of all time.

  • Thank you Fantano, this album absolutely kills! You had me at the point you mentioned Swans. I definitely hear it in this album (tortured vocals, pounding drums, repetition). In my opinion, the repetitiveness works to enhance the affect. Also, I love what this band does with noise. It's so easy to make noise, but it's hard to make INTERESTING (and infectious) noise.

    What do you think of the other Sacred Bones artists/releases? One of the best labels around right now, imo.

  • Best opening 35 seconds of any youtube video ever.

  • do you go to music festivals?

  • Meshuggah, and valdhjarta

  • Beautiful Things by Anthony Green? Please?

    Come on, you've got the same name! :D

  • Review mf loves fly talent show

  • I will pay you money if you review Poets of the Fall's newest single, released today, entitled, "Cradled in Love". It has quickly became my second favorite song of all time.

  • I've seen a few bands with similar looking album covers, what's up with that? Not talking about the picture, but the font and the layout

  • @Bigassrobot It's because those albums are released on Sacred Bones, which is a pretty awesome label, releasing stuff from The Men, Zola Jesus, Cult of Youth, Moon Duo, ...

  • Review Anthony Green: Beautiful Things

    

  • Review the new Pillows album. Trial.  :) please.

  • @Kohtar4 he used to do that a long time ago but I think he had to stop due to copyright.

  • For something different, why not reviewing

    the new Rodrigo y Gabriela - Area 52?

    :)

  • review of montreal's new album, "paralytic stalks"

  • @Sploof4u i think it'll happen. :-)

  • Alone III: The Pinkerton Years!

  • Review the new Maccabees album please :)

  • Hatchya

  • I immediately checked these guys out after you mentioned Swans, APTBS and Iceage, thanks

  • @doopliss21 i hope you dig 'em. :-)

  • I remember back when getting 1 million video views was a big thing.

  • @synth77 you mean 1,000,000 total views on the YT channel? yeah, those were exciting times, but times are STILL exciting. TND is still growing, and each peak in growth is cooler than the next. while that's awesome, the focus needs to stay on the music.

  • @theneedledrop Review charles hamilton the pink lavalamp

  • @theneedledrop "Lots of violence,and nooses, and dead bodies and fire!" - NICE LYRICS FANTANO.

  • Luv u Cal

  • The song you posted on your website is just awful.

  • @ZwienerZ well, they all sound like that, sooooooooooo.... :-P

  • You really need to check out Full of Hell's new LP. Sounds like Bastard Noise raping Entombed.

  • @Spwee1494Halo i have, but i wasn't that into it. felt like a throwback, but not as exciting.

  • @Spwee1494Halo oh, wait, FULL OF HELL. i thought you just meant hell.

  • @theneedledrop haha, yeah. New album is Roots Of Earth Are Consuming My Home. Its awesome. Also, this album rules. Thanks for reviewing it.

  • i can tell what this is gonna sound like just by looking at the triangle on the cover :p

  • @VersusTheAir yeah, sacred bones tends to cater to a certain kinda sound, but a lotta labels are like that.

  • Is it possible that you let us listen maybe a little 30 second preview of some songs in your videos?

  • @Kohtar4 no, i can't. it's a copyright issue. :-( if you look in the dbox of my videos, i ALWAYS put a link in there to theneedledrop dawt com or some other site where you can stream a song or two from the album i'm reviewing. :-)

  • @theneedledrop Ain't the album covers also under copyright? Hehe... No seriously, it's sad that there is no preview anymore. But thank's for the links :)

  • do the new "pelican" EP when it comes out!

  • Ads? :(

  • @lespaulseagull yeah, i dunno why that's popping up all of a sudden. youtube doesn't even ask me when i upload my video if i want a streaming ad or something. i think there's a way to turn it off, but i gotta see.

  • Why did the cover art immediately remind me of The Men's Leave Home?

  • LANA, DO IT.

  • Why do you laugh in every video?

  • I feel you should be a music producer, that is your real talent. I think you could get the most out of many artists iMO. Love your reviews.

  • Can you review Given To The Wild by The Maccabees? Thanks.

  • Seventy-second!

  • Beginning your videos with laughter is your new thing, eh?

  • @GhosFare it's not that new. did it last year, too.

  • Now you hear me, now you don't. I'm the bass.

  • I'm the bass

  • I sure as hell Thumb'd up for Cal

  • You had me at describing noise rock as gothic. Epic!

  • @TehSkullKrusher epic epic?

  • Can you review Tear Talk - Port Sunlight pleeasse

  • @LFCBatesy is that new?

  • @theneedledrop Yes they're a brand new shoegazy sounding band from Liverpool, I really loved their ep (just came out this month). You should check them out.

  • i watch your reviews not only for the music you are reviewing,but also for the bands that you mention in the process, like you mentioned swans (that i never heard of) and i am just blown away by their music. Thank you man

  • What the fuck is No Wave? Shite, I hate genres..

  • @xiz90 From rateyourmusic: No Wave was a short-lived movement in NYC in the late 70's which took the ethics of punk but discarded melody and catchiness and replaced them with such features as extreme noise, distortion, feedback, angular rhythms, stream-of-conciousness lyrics, psychotic vocals, minimalism, abnormal tunings, dissonance and other unusual factors.

  • Pulled Apart By Horses - Tough Love!

  • Nooiiiiiise

  • Grimes - Visions

  • NEHRU JACKETS, shake them thug handles.

  • Can no one else give their thoughts on the album?

    The recommendations here look like spam.

  • @moeezS i don't think a lotta people have heard this album, which is why there are a lack of comments on it. :-)

  • A fact: Men who have trouble controlling laughter also have trouble controlling sexual arousal.

  • @jajasmin i would say i have problems with both.

  • Comment removed

  • Can you review Full Canvas from Live Manikins. left field hip hop but i dig

  • Lana Del Rey - Born to Die

  • @coolnesss16 glad. :-)

  • Review Crosses EP2.

    Also about time for another Y U NO REVIEW (I guess Enter Shakari will be on that list)
