This is a brilliant review. You obviously put lots of thought and effort into it and it shows and pays off for me. Congrats

[2daewoo4u]

Reminds me of the swans meets some retro 70s-80s band.

[nickfromCO]

@2daewoo4u i definitely agree about the swans

[2daewoo4u]

Has listened to Dragged Into Sunlight, does not think this is a nightmare.

[buckleygeneration]

I saw these guys at a Swedish festival a few weeks ago. They were the highlight of the festival. Great, great band.

[240zxfanatic]

I can't help but laugh at Cal. every time he makes a quick interruption.

[JustaPaperbagWriter]

You had me at "Shoegaze"

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

I was really hearing the Doors with these guys. Love it :)

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

I <3 Cal.

[sockostealshearts]

"only in a dream state... or in a very drug induced haze"

[mikelly92]

Cold Cave - Cherish the Light Years

[TheDancingKing92]

I'm sorry but I lol'd when Cal called you a f*ckin sh*thead

[TehSkullKrusher]

Absolutely epic. 1st time I flat out buy an album you review that I've never heard of and boy, does it deliver.

[bigbabyjesus12]

My favorite word? ...slathered.

[theneedledrop]

@bigbabyjesus12 'tis a good word

[XIXNayRXIX]

...Beach House!

[larrryd]

crystal stilts sound dangerous

[SuperBowser]

Next: Jamie Woon Mirrorwriting

[robgeorge87]

[bigideas3]

[smithbs1985]

benoit and sergio - boy trouble ep

[WhyWeLoveMusic]

A review of the new Submarines album would be awesome. Love those guys!

[TheBensont123]

radiohead - the butcher, or supercollider.

don't hurt me, or make fun of me, anthony.

[Indiecypherable79]

Review Times New Viking!!!!!!!!

[lancebramsay]

I'm feeling the whole "blah blah blah about la la la" deal.

[MultiFortran]

Could you review the new The Submarines album?

Album name- Love Notes/Letter Bombs

[top20modernrock]

Next review is obvious to me. One word: The Beastie Boys. Word.

[UPRPT]

Micachu and the London Sinfonietta's Chopped and Screwed

[top20modernrock]

my dreams end when I have to take a pee

[Shoegazer29]

I've heard good things about Crystal Stilts but never made time to indulge. Perhaps once I'm done obsessing over the new Gang Gang Dance this record will be my next victim.

Also, you should review:

Gang Gang Dance - "Eye Contact"

tUnE-yArDs - "w h o k i l l"

Grouper - "A I A"

[mmmackjr91]

Mac Miller best day ever

I enjoy that they kick ass. Everything goes wrong is a simple but good album. They're tight live.

[jamesandjackproducts]

I didn't enjoy Rick James' last LP

[DamagedApotheosis]

also, the album is darkly humorous. Surreal, but not that disembodied to be completely esoteric.

[DamagedApotheosis]

we know what happened at death, but i don't have to say why.

[Zay2629]

Something Crazy....Something Wild and Insane..... :3

[hecknerd]

Crystal Stilts... Quartz Longlegs?

Hmmmmm.. No Devolucion?

[ChiVic64]

ϕΓω₲Ҝ∔Δ

[theto21]

Please review foo fighters wasting light

[Zacsta]

Woh, that score came out of no where for me. You spend most of it talking about stuff you don't like, and other reviews you spend the whole time talking about all these positive things and then give a mediocre score.

[BisayaBoii]

Review Thursday's No Devolucion

[getfighted11]

@BisayaBoii damn right. if we are persistent he will eventually listen to thursday. his last.fm account suggests he has never listened to them.

[SchussFilms]

The lyrics in this album are so strange and messed up that it seems like something only I could come up with.

[Slicknificent]

review something youre not familiar with like brotha lynch hungs new album ''the coathanga strangla''

[DontTouchDat]

Review new Kode9 album!

[Kunado]

There's a lot of good future garage coming out and you haven't reviewed any of it :(.

Lapalux - Many Faces Out of Focus.

It's really good.

[TerminatorX87]

To MUCH REVERB!!!!!!!! GAHHGHGHAHGHGAAA!!!!!!!!

[lorrding]

Young Prisms - Friends for Now

[MusicMan1330]

Review the new GroundIsLava album! OBSESSED! :~D

[169405]

you should review atmosphere's new lp the family sign, i personally think its their best work

[2006Socrates]

REVIEW "METRONOMY" NEW LP "THE ENGLISH RIVIERA" ! PLEASE !

[mooselord12345]

PLEASE review Het Droste Effect's self titled EP. Probably the best thing I have heard this year. Listen to and download it free here: hetdrosteeffect.bandcamp (dot) com.

[cinder3111]

i'm really enjoying The Growlers lately. would you ever review anything by them, or have you?

[enyafreak2007]

'Through the Floor' is officially your song Anthony, as soon as I listened to that track your name just stuck to it. I love this album, I'm definitely putting this on my favorite list, next to Tomboy...great review Anthony, you give people a reason to even click on Youtube :-)

Review Cult of Youth's new album, good piece of work.

[cinder3111]

i've been waiting for a light 9 like a grandma in need of a hip replacement. i feel satisfied. (soothing)ahhhh.

[LivinginCarpets]

ponytail.

do it.

[MrNMertens]

Any classical drops?

[Zas379]

Hey man, You gotta review The Kills new album Blood Pressures. You would do an awesome review!

[AICDTTPT]

wait wait wait what? Cal doesn't swear.

[JusteunMusicien]

I remember you reviewed a Between the Buried and Me track once before and I liked the review, but didn't really love the song. I say you should review their latest effort(like 2 days ago) "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" so that we can better understand your perspective on BtBaM. Good times.

[dummeponk]

One day you should do a monty python silly walk in the intro

[SnarlDreadwood]

Thumbs for Auckland New Zealand!

[SmellyWeenis]

Could you Review "Scar Symmetry's Upcomming Album "The Unseen Empire, or maybe a past album like Holographic Universe or Pitch Black Progress? would be nice they are such a rockin band and id love to see a review



[AgainstEveryth1ng]

I am not feelin' this whole 'blahblahblah lalala' deal. Not at all.

[Whitefish81]

@AgainstEveryth1ng Yeah, he should retire that right quick.

[grayfox622]

@AgainstEveryth1ng me neither

[gjvb]

@AgainstEveryth1ng Clearly not, you are against everything!

[senseofhumerus]

can you review Wagon Christ's newest LP "Toomorrow"? I'm interested in hearing your take on it. Wagon Christ is Luke Vibert's most prominent pseudonym and he's a part of the Ninja Tune Label with other artists like Amon Tobin, Bonobo, and Daedelus (just to name a few)

[awesomer22]

it would be awesome to see a full review by Cal. Maybe an artist that shouldn't be taken seriously?

[MrMd0123]

Check out ArtOfficial and there new song "Migraine", some good hip-hop/jazz. Maybe do a track review on it??? :)

[pandasecksi]

LOL @ CAL

[leightonslang]

Definetly picking this up. And could you review Either Kurt Ville's new album or maybe the new Cunninlynguists album?

[blackmetalblunt]

MUST HAVE BLUT AUS NORD ALBUM REVIEW FROM ANTHONY MOTHER FUCKIN FANTANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Clazzy8]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR LINKING ME TO ZEROH. THANK YOU.

[Swifdler]

You MUST review mike watt's new record, hyphenated-man. Please.

[destinedtorot]

REVIEW RORCAL - HELIOGABALUS! it's quite the listen!

[dmwmgls]

Nice Ass review, I agree with everything you said. I could listen to this album forever. Seriously... right on sir.

You should check out Cat's Eyes- Cat's Eyes. It's kind of the best.

[theneedledrop]

@ScarvoHumanoid0012 First record is so good! Is the new one awesome?

[unholycrap]

Microtonal black metal

[unholycrap]

HUAAAAGGHHHLFFFF review Blut Aus Nord's new album 777

[zerotwinnn]

Probably the best review you've ever done, man.

You're Fant(ano)astic.

[theneedledrop]

@zerotwinnn Thank you. It means a lot that you'd say that. Nice to know I'm always making efforts at getting better in your eyes. :-)

[FunkierLukebob]

review do whatever you want all the time

[theneedledrop]

@FunkierLukebob Really? Do you think this will lead to success?

[bruyeatj]

@ScarvoHumanoid0012 agreed, such a shame, really enjoyed early arctic monkeys, I'm just not at all enjoying the direction of their sound, sadly.

[Upnorth789]

Sounds interesting, I haven't listened to these guys much, although one of my favorite songs ever is 'Converging in the Quiet.' I'll have to check it out, thanks for the review.

[theneedledrop]

@Upnorth789 Do it up. :-)

[WoWDemondays]

Rock and Roll Nightmare?....LilWayne

[Riflegun8989]

review the new foo fighters album

[theneedledrop]

@Riflegun8989 maybe.

[mamatouchyourweewee]

metronomy the english riviera

[theneedledrop]

@mamatouchyourweewee it will be done...eventually.

[Guitarisforgrins]

Damn!! Cal just pwned you!

[theneedledrop]

@Guitarisforgrins he's such a jerk, ain't he?

[Blanket2183]

@Kubiak04 Omg thanks for the tip with Gang Gang Dance, been waiting for it since forever

[arielvsch]

Hey man, this is my first time commenting one of your vids.

I really like them, even though I might sometimes disagree, you've got some nice point of view and you've helped me find some cool new music.

I was wondering if you've heard Atlas Sound (solo project of Bradford Cox from Deerhunter). He's latest record (Logos) is from 2009, so it's not new, but it would be great if you could review it (I don't think many people have heard it, and they should). I myself think it's a great album.

Cheers

[platypae333]

@arielvsch He did.

[danlikesmusicalot]

@arielvsch he already has, just search "theneedledrop atlas sound" on youtube :)

[theneedledrop]

@arielvsch I know the album. I actually reviewed it. :-)

/watch?v=bEYBFLV7O7o

[colbertvp]

@arielvsch he already has -

/watch?v=bEYBFLV7O7o

[magicmike323]

@arielvsch He reviewed it back in 2009, but I agree its a great record.

[Morphochroma]

please review the new Atmosphere album: The Family Sign.

[oooCAKEmmm]

Thumbs up for carrots, "blah blah blah about la la la," you laughing at yourself when providing background info on Crystal Stilts, Cal, Beach House, the 'dream/nightmare' theme, and the strong 8.

[theneedledrop]

@oooCAKEmmm thank you for all the kind words. :-)

[oooCAKEmmm]

@theneedledrop De nada.  :)

[Caligula138]

I havent heard this album yet or watched this review but it doesnt matter because the Crystal Stilts can do no wrong... thats how great they are

[Steoandnoodles1]

The lyricism sounds totally bizarre. Not The Tallest Man on Earth or The Beatles bizarre (the good kind) ...just purely weird.

[theneedledrop]

@Steoandnoodles1 It is, seriously. Very disjointed and abstract.

[cornpopsandacid]

GROUPER or GIRLS NAMES. please :]

[theneedledrop]

@cornpopsandacid I think Grouper will eventually get done, but I haven't heard Girls Names yet.

[GhosFare]

Does the last track sound like Run Run Run? The chord progression to me sounds exactly the SAME.

[theneedledrop]

@GhosFare The chord progressions on this thing song REALLY similar to a lotta tracks, honestly. Through the Floor is straight outta a lot of old R&B tracks.

[uberstuff5]

If Anthony gives another 8 in his next review I'll shit a brick.

[theneedledrop]

@uberstuff5 Is this a good or a bad thing?

[uberstuff5]

@theneedledrop Depends if you get a kick out of ceramic egestion.

[Kubiak04]

Cal deserves a real big 'thank you' . Please review GROUPER, eh!! Also, Battles - Gloss Drop, Fleet Foxes, and finally GANG GANG DANCE - Eye Contact done just leaked today. ps: deff downloading Crystal Stilts now

[ussop92]

when i say that guy, i mean the singer in the band you're reviewing heard from the link the description box...

[realMUSICisMUSE]

FUCKING FOO FIGHTERS!

[Caligula138]

@realMUSICisMUSE FUCK THE FOO FIGHTERS!

[ussop92]

that guys voice is too soul sucking

[theneedledrop]

@ussop92 i hear what you're saying. it can be kind of draining if you're not in the right mindset. it's definitely not music i put on just to be in the background. it's more of a spook myself record.

[jumpmanhat]

sounds kinda cool, but too much rockabily influence for me.
