The Strokes Is This It is a hard 10 from me, not for nostalgia either. It's so cute and cheeky and dirty and muffled and smooth. It definitely pioneered alt rock and defined the sound of the 00's.
@@EuriLochus yeah i think it can be classic without being a 10, probably not lower than an 8 though. Its usually more about the impact of the album than the album itself even if it is THAT good.
@@mysticshawty1234 Yeah, the nature of a “classic” review seems to imply more of the cultural impact, rather than one’s own personal opinion, and this tracks well with what Fantano seems to do.
It's amazing however (seriously) how there seems to be a universal agreement that Machaut is the best of his century (!!!). I wonder how we would go about naming the best music maker of the 20th or the 21st century. I bet we wouldn't agree as much...
@@davidungercomposer Well for the 21st century we're missing too much to even hazard a guess. As for the 20th, for comparison I think the agreement on Machaut would be less universal if you asked someone from the early 15th century
When Anthony Fanta repeated the lines. “Yeah, I don't like Vector (I don't like-, I don't like Vector) Yeah, I don't like Vector (take 'em out)” it really made me think 🤔.
I just saw the black midi interview where Anthony talked about 10s that came out before he started reviewing. It got me thinking and this video came out at a great time. Thanks Melon
I knew Discovery had to be on here. It is such an easy pick. The range is unbelievable, so many of the songs are absolute classics. Digital Love, Face to Face, Harder Better Faster Stronger. 20 years later and One More Time is still one of the biggest hits and most fun songs to hear in any night club, pretty much anywhere in the world (at least the places I've been to). And every single song slaps. What a masterpiece.
Agreed. The musical range on that albums is electronic perfection. Amazing pop singles paired with some brutal beats in the instrumental tracks. And that production.
Maybe that's it. I mean, we know how difficult is for an album to be a 10 in Melon's head. There were only 5 tens in the 2010's, maybe the ones he showed here are the only ones for the 2000's
@@franciscoterron9324 yeah but I can think of a few he left off that he'd probably say are 10s like Welcome to the Black Parade and The College Dropout
My absolute 10/10 for the 2000s in In Rainbows. Anytime anyone asks me to recommend them an album, this is always my go-to & everyone I’ve shown, from teenagers to coworkers, has loved it!
@2:31 Daft Punk - Discovery (2001) @3:16 System of a Down - Toxicity (2001) @4:26 Bjork - Vespertine (2001) @5:23 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (2000) @6:20 MF Doom - Madvillainy (2004)

Was obsessed with Lateralus by Tool and Deftones White Pony in the early 2000s. Deloused in the comatorium by The Mars Volta was another one that blew my mind
Ten 10's from the 2000's IMO (one artist limit that wasn't mentioned in the vid): - In Rainbows - Songs for the Deaf - Late Registration - Since I Left You ‐ Donuts - Leaves Turn Inside You - Transatlanticism - Labor Days - Funeral - Turn on the Bright Lights
legit had never heard of Madvillan till this video. listened to 5 minutes of it and it's already a new fave. realizing that every hiphop artist i've LOVED form the past 10 years got a lot of their vibe from this. ordering the vinyl tonight
Discovery was on HEAVY rotation in my younger years. Daft Punk and Deadmau5 were the first musicians that made me start thinking about music differently.
I feel like deadmau5 deserves a little more recognition. He may not have had the same influence on electronic music as Daft Punk, but his creativity is impressive.
The system of a down album will always be a 10 to me. My dad would literally have this blasting whenever me and my little brother would visit him at the weekend, I’d have been around 10 and would get so embarrassed because he’d go through the streets BLARING bounce. The stares of the ol people on a Sunday morning would kill me! Good memories, I now do this at the age of 23
Im 21 and have a very similar story with my mom and nirvana. She’d always drive through the centre of town at 8 in the morning on the way to school blasting all things grunge and embarrassed the heck out of 8 year old me. Nowadays im doing the same with nirvana, QotSA, the new silverstein album, DGD, SoaD.
@@daveysaturn7232 "Deep Cuts" is what got me into them and I love it, it's got a lot of highlights, however there are moments were I think the sequencing of the songs is a bit odd, a few songs maybe could have been left out, (but I cannot point which), but over all the album doesn't always flow well. On the other hand, while the darker "Silent Shout" lacks the obvious highlights, it flows better and it sounds like what an album should. I think that with "Silent Shout" The Knife found their sound, as that album is quite unique.
Yeah other 2000s 10s that he didn’t mention for me would definitely be The College Dropout, Kid A, Ys, Is this it, Jane Doe, Give up, Who will cut are hair when we’re gone, and sound of silver.
I did listen to lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven after I saw this video and was immediately intrigued by it. Now I have listened to it a few more times and I must say this could be the best album I have ever heard. Thank you for this recommendation Anthony.
@@jonasithorisson5159 a lot of fans that I’ve met really enjoy ‘F# A# (infinity)’ more than ‘Lift Yr. Skinny…’ but both records are fantastic. I personally enjoy ‘Lift’ more.
@@jonasithorisson5159it is their best album imo but their 1st and 3rd albums (which complete the pre-hiatus set) are all exceptional. A lot more inconsistent since they reformed but At States End is pretty good too
I'm still looking for the House magic that Discovery gave me. Ive loved Against all Logic, and sometimes Aphex seems to play around with the genre, but I want more.
the only house record that gave me the same feeling as Discovery so far has been Proux's Back By Popular Demand. not to say there arent other amazing house records, but this has been the only one with that specific vibe on it, imo. check it out
Extra Free Vol. 1 by Lxury is one of (if not) my favorite lo-fi house records. It's remarkably consistent in quality but still manages to stay unique in sound. Listening to it for the first time, I was in awe at how good the production was on so many songs off this album. I definitely recommend checking it out, it seems like not many people have found it yet.
It’s my favourite album atm, it was tpab for like 6 months but this has overtaken it for me for now, also try listen to lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven, it’s pretty great but also long each track is around 20 minutes but only 4 tracks
Discovery is an insanely good record. 10/10 for sure. Sort of disappointed that Burial - Untrue wasn't featured tho. Especially over here the UK it has been so influential to dance music and is flawless in my eyes
I'm still confused as to why Justice isn't held in higher regard than Daft Punk. Song for song, and in terms of creative strength, I think Cross outpaces Discovery in almost every way.
@@bc5588 I think Justice just has the misfortune of not having strong follow-ups to keep them relevant. I have similar feeling about the debut Digitalism record.
@@sylvianblade75Ironically, Justice won a grammy for remixing electric feel. So Oracular Spectacular probably did more to popularize Justice than to overshadow them, at least in the U.S.
A video like that would take SO long to make. Picking out 10s from past decades is certainly a challenge, but you’re at least starting with a list of decent albums. Where do you even start with the worst albums of the decade?
I'm surprised that neither Is This It nor Room on Fire made it onto this, since you've mentioned that they were pretty big albums for you going through college (Still happy to see that Discovery and Madvillainy made it onto here though)
I wonder what makes it not qualify for 10/10 in Anthony’s opinion but one guess is that it is not substantial enough lyrically. But it’s a 10/10 for me baby (one of my all time faves)
All I remember is that in the Strokes tier list video he ranked both albums as S Tier. Personally, it would make sense to me that at least one of the above mentioned albums would be a 10, especially considering that they were ranked 2 tiers above the New Abnormal, which received an 8/10. But maybe in regard to including Is This It, it would have been one too many albums from 2001 to make the cut ;) (In my mind it's still a 10/10 though)
He tries to make it as unbiased as possible even though thats impossible, i personally have albums I think are better than actual 10s but music theory wise they probably arent
Man I’m confused. I thought for sure stuff like The Glow Pt. 2 would be here based on what he’s said about them, and I was totally not expecting discovery and toxicity to get that rating (not saying they’re bad tho, love both of them)
He did a series on his favorite classic albums and included it years ago. All the albums were just rated classics/10. I personally just assumed they are all 10s but maybe not.
I think a needle drop classics channel in general would be great: an output of the best and worst of past decades as I'd say most all of music listening is discovering old stuff
Dilla was an innovator. Pretty niche though, his beats on their own especially. His style didn't really catch on other than in lo-fi and jazz scenes. There's a large demographic that dislikes how lazy a lot of Dilla's production sounds, and I totally get that. He was one of the first to introduce a natural swing to his beats, other than that, he had a lot of hip-hop producer tropes that people didn't like. (entire tapes of loops, a lot of his songs are pretty abrupt, etc)
Really wish he talked about Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone by The Unicorns. He talked about it being a 10 before in a Let's Argue but I wish he talked about it here because that record doesn't get enough love and It's one of my favorite records of all time. I just think more people should listen to it.
@@thath09 filling in for that guy since I also felt the same thing. it's pretty much everything you'd want from an indie rock album. raw but accessible production, a little bit of unique instrumental flavor with the synths and other sorta childlike instruments, but mainly just centered around great sorta-linear pop songs and a wonderful interplay between the two members - so many instantly quotable vocal bits, like "WE DONT WANT TO DIE, IN THE OCEAN" or "BUT WE WERENT WELCOMEEEEE" or like every line on I Was Born A Unicorn. they had the songwriting and performing chops and the creativity to be doing big experimental pieces if they wanted to and chose to make a very simple and stripped down album with a very simple appeal. perfect for the spring and summer.
Just listened to vespertine, and your right about this album. And yea it being divine and just feeling it’s from another dimmension , super cool feeling I get when listening to it.
Something I've been interested in a while from you Melon. I know you've mentioned 10's you haven't officially reviewed but actually seeing them in a video is pretty cool.
Dude I'm so happy toxicity is on here . I discovered it in middle school and was the only one amongst my group of metal friends that absolutely loved this album. So happy to see this you don't even know
Can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that The Big Day landed a spot on here. It really is a commercially overlooked gem that went on to define the wife-core genre. Absolutely deserved
These are great choices. I’d put Tools Lateralus in as well. At least in my opinion. It’s got some transition songs that are weird but the songs themselves are incredible
I don't think those transitional songs can be held against an album, they could easily be part of the songs themselves, and often are for music videos (parabol/parabola). They just break things up into friendlier chunks for commercial purposes or if you're dipping into it.
I don't have a problem with the transitional parts of the album at all - in fact I don't think it gets enough credit for how well it transitions and flows. I can see how it can be kind of jarring for a first time listen - Ticks and Leeches in particular is in kind of a jarring position on the album - but the more I listen to it the more I think everything fits just fine. Even the obligatory Tool bridge tracks are some of the most perfectly used in their entire discography. It's definitely a 10 for sure, fuck what all the haters have to say. 😎 And evidently, it too came out in 2001, what an interesting year for music, ha ha!!
It definitely is a huge piece of rock history. I hope more people deep dive into their music and how they've tried to use their platform as responsible citizens. It's very inspiring in its own right.
Dang hot take indeed. I feel like most post rock genres I don’t have the patience to make it through. I suppose it depends who you admire more in the genre but as far as their contemporaries, Godspeed greatly outshines them in my book. What are albums that you feel put it to shame?
Bear with me here but it's kind of like the nevermind of post rock 😅 music is obviously subjective so I can only say what I would rather listen to. Sigur ros agaetis byrjun or even () Jakob solace is definitely a top tier post rock album start to finish no filler and not 2 hours long 😂 Early mogwai maybe Cody or ep+6 are solid.
Was NOT expecting a 10 for Vespertine tbh. This was a fun video, I'd love to see other decades or maybe other albums you consider 10s since your reasoning for these albums was interesting
Vespertine is my only personal 10/10 album. Favorite album of all time, probably will be my favorite album until the day I die. It literally changed my entire life for the better, a form of music therapy
This was one of my first CDs I ever bought when I was like 10 & I still very much enjoy it! I brought this CD to show and tell for music class in 6th grade and some of the kids were laughing at my pick of CD, and then I played Shimmy & they probably recognized it from THPS4 & they stopped laughing and started vibing
I agree with you on Discovery and Toxicity. Other all-time favorites from 2000s: White Stripes - Elephant The Strokes - Is this it Coldplay - A Rush a Blood to the Head Muse - Absolution Amy Winehouse - Back in Black MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Storm is one of the greatest songs ever. EVER. I watched them for my 32nd birthday (2013) in Portland with Earth opening. Seeing Storm live is something I can’t explain. It was a soul crushing and an uplifting experience. I left that show crying. Skip forward 9-10 months later and it’s summer again. It was a beautiful mid 70’s day. Clear blue skies. I put on my headphones and hopped on my skateboard. Usually I’d listen to Ghost Town by The Specials, because “duh.” This day I put on Storm. I barely made it a block before I started weeping. The song made me look at my surroundings in a completely different way and I was in such awe of the shear beauty of being alive and the world which blanketed me. I felt it’s warmth and I wanted more. I needed more. It was a torrent of emotions which made me feel alive again. I’ve maybe felt and experienced this kind of raw visceral emotion only a handful of times. 1) In the depths of addiction. 2) The moment I knew I loved the human that would later be my wife. 3) Watching the life leave one of my best friends. 4) Holding my wife as I watched our child shoot out of her like a rocket on our bed, in our room, in our first home. 5) My mothers attempted suicide and her week long coma. This is the power of art. This is the power of music.
@@BuckFutton I’m glad you like Sleep more. It doesn’t hit me quite the same. The full album is amazing, but having rooted connections with Storm makes it a completely different experience for me. There’s nearly no other song in the whole of existence that has made me feel so many different emotions that Storm has. That means more to me than nearly anything.
100% agree with your list, Madvillainy is one of my favorite albums ever. Another album I love that I'm surprised you didn't mention is "In Rainbows" given how many times you've talked about loving it as well.
Great picks! Super happy to see the Toxicity shoutout. I think it’s absolutely one of the best metal albums ever and transcends the pejorative “nu metal” label.
Same here, I’m pretty sure it is one of his favorite records though. It’s in my top 3 as well, I literally pulled off on the side of the road and sat there in awe the first time I heard that album.
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory Frou Frou - Details Audioslave - Self-titled Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition Gorillaz - Demon Days Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
On a visit to the local library at maybe 14, I was entranced by the Vespertine album cover in the small cd section. Borrowed it, brought it home, and that was it, hooked forever. Bjork helped set part of the framework for my most formative years 🖤 "Pagan Poetry" is just astounding, as is the video.
Doesn't Funeral get hyped up a lot? It's often considered one of the finest of 2004/the 2000s in general, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time.
Funeral underhyped? It's a great record, but if anything it's overrated (like I said: still a great record, but when people say it's on par with the indie masterpieces like Kid A or Aeroplane, then they're overrating it. Anyhow, the album gets a lot of recognition for what it did.
Skinny Fists was an album I started listening to while I was doing other things, but the moment the drums started in Storm, I sat down to do nothing but listen.
@@joshuagregoire9504 Tied I guess, I like Madvillainy more in concept, but I listen to Illmatic more than any other album ever. Both are absolutely peak music tho
Definitely would love to see a 10s through the ages series. I think it would also be cool to hear some of your deep cut 10s, things that weren’t necessarily massively popular or cult classics, but just albums you’ve thought are insanely good yet lack the praise they deserve
I agree for the most part but I would add... Late Registration - Kanye Demon Days - Gorillaz Extraordinary Machine - Fiona Apple Be - Common Continuum - John Mayer Plans - Death Cab for Cutie Good News for People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse Edit: I forgot Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Keep making these videos! Some albums I love/I'd hoped you would mention were: Ys - Joanna Newsom Feels/Strawberry Jam - Animal Collective Sound of Silver - LCD Sounsystem
Hail to the Thief - Radiohead Moon and Antarctica - Modest Mouse Deloused in the Comatorium - Mars Volta Lateralus - Tool You're a Woman, I'm a Machine - DFA1979 Highly Refined Pirates - Minus the Bear Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age Is This It? - The Strokes
Tools Lateralus is a big miss here should def be given 10/10 status. Cool vid, I’m going to check out the album…with the hands on it..? never heard of it before.
Jane Doe by Converge. This album was a shot heard round the world for heavy music! after a decade of grinding through the underground, Converge finally took off like a flare gun blast! The songs are full of unique and memorable riffs and technical insanity, the production is one of the most brutal onslaughts in all of music, and the record doesn't need to have a single intelligible lyric to communicate the emotional impact of each track! Converge raised the bar on this one and continue to do so today!
@Kyle Donaldson Axe to Fall and All We Love We Leave Behind are also nothing short of spectacular. Gotta admit, the You Fail Me album never grasped me, but No Heroes and the ones after shred. Haven’t heard their newest stuff, but I’m sure it doesn’t disappoint.
Agaetis byrjun! One of the most undeniably beautiful albums ever made, along with Godspeed shot post rock into prominence and very little sounds as beyond this world as it does to this day.
@@Ed.strell at the back end of 1999, but between that and the time it took having to be discovered outside of Iceland, it's not an unpopular viewpoint to throw them in the 2000's. (pitchfork sure did)
My predictions going into this besides Madvillainy were: Lift yr skinny fists The glow pt 2 College dropout In rainbows The black parade Sound of silver Fever Ray So I guess I don’t actually know this dude’s taste as much as I thought considering I only got one right lol
It was actually a very great try, though, since he did say he was going to include some albums he's done for Classic's Week before too. I don't doubt that these are likely strong 9s if not 10s from Fantano! Good guesses!
Definitely a 10, actually can't believe someone making a video about the great albums of the 2000 and not mentioning Voodoo. Every song is excellent while also being 5 min+ (bar Chicken Grease 4:38).
Honestly wish I could get into Voodoo myself. Tried it, but I didn't enjoy it at all personally- felt oddly esoteric. Certainly glad it can touch so many, though.
@@byronmealin Yeah, I guess it's just not my thing. Might try it again to see how I feel about it now, but I'm fine either way- I'm not ashamed of my feelings regarding the album.
As a dude who listens to primarily extreme metal, Vespertine is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my life. The production is mind blowingly fantastic and Björks lyrics and performances are otherworldly beautiful.
Is This It- The Strokes you will not find a tighter and more slick album from the 2000’s than Is This It. Not only is insane for a first album, they have still not topped this masterpiece. Lyrics about growing up and living life with a backdrop of simple yet catchy melodies which epitomise the New York chic lifestyle which was culminated by the end of the 90’s. 10/10
Finally, after 20 years, I can say what my favorite albums of the 2000s are.

I knew Discovery had to be on here. It is such an easy pick.
The range is unbelievable, so many of the songs are absolute classics. Digital Love, Face to Face, Harder Better Faster Stronger. 20 years later and One More Time is still one of the biggest hits and most fun songs to hear in any night club, pretty much anywhere in the world (at least the places I've been to). And every single song slaps. What a masterpiece.
Veridis Quo my man, that's the banger.

Agreed. The musical range on that albums is electronic perfection. Amazing pop singles paired with some brutal beats in the instrumental tracks. And that production.

- Since I Left You

Overrrated, for sure, There is just nothing remarkable about it. It's just a cheap throw back.

Ppl who love Discovery should watch Interstellar 5555 if you dont know about it
Discovery was on HEAVY rotation in my younger years. Daft Punk and Deadmau5 were the first musicians that made me start thinking about music differently.
ME TOOOO
ME THREE
I feel like deadmau5 deserves a little more recognition. He may not have had the same influence on electronic music as Daft Punk, but his creativity is impressive.
The system of a down album will always be a 10 to me. My dad would literally have this blasting whenever me and my little brother would visit him at the weekend, I’d have been around 10 and would get so embarrassed because he’d go through the streets BLARING bounce. The stares of the ol people on a Sunday morning would kill me! Good memories, I now do this at the age of 23
Im 21 and have a very similar story with my mom and nirvana. She’d always drive through the centre of town at 8 in the morning on the way to school blasting all things grunge and embarrassed the heck out of 8 year old me.
Nowadays im doing the same with nirvana, QotSA, the new silverstein album, DGD, SoaD.

Awesome list excited to see more! Curious to hear your thoughts on The Knife’s “Silent Shout” from 2006 - my personal favorite from the 00s
Fantastic album, broke me ground for me at the time.
That one, Fever Ray's self titled & Bat For Lashes' Two Suns. :)
@@cloudyview broke me ground for me too
I still think Deep cuts is better. I mean 'Rock Classics' alone is just unreal.
@@daveysaturn7232 "Deep Cuts" is what got me into them and I love it, it's got a lot of highlights, however there are moments were I think the sequencing of the songs is a bit odd, a few songs maybe could have been left out, (but I cannot point which), but over all the album doesn't always flow well. On the other hand, while the darker "Silent Shout" lacks the obvious highlights, it flows better and it sounds like what an album should. I think that with "Silent Shout" The Knife found their sound, as that album is quite unique.
My favourites from the 00's are Kid A, In Ranbows, Vespertine, Y's, Untrue, Harmony In Ultraviolett, The College Dropout & Geogaddi
TCD is easily a 10 fr
Ys is my favourite! Wish more people talked about it
Geogaddi is incredible
Yeah other 2000s 10s that he didn’t mention for me would definitely be The College Dropout, Kid A, Ys, Is this it, Jane Doe, Give up, Who will cut are hair when we’re gone, and sound of silver.
In Rainbows absolutely
I did listen to lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven after I saw this video and was immediately intrigued by it. Now I have listened to it a few more times and I must say this could be the best album I have ever heard. Thank you for this recommendation Anthony.

So happy you included the big day

So funny.. not.. 🤦🏼♂️
Hilarious and original
I'm still looking for the House magic that Discovery gave me. Ive loved Against all Logic, and sometimes Aphex seems to play around with the genre, but I want more.
Drake's latest album dabbles with some house, give it a listen if you haven't already, a truly genre defining album.
the only house record that gave me the same feeling as Discovery so far has been Proux's Back By Popular Demand. not to say there arent other amazing house records, but this has been the only one with that specific vibe on it, imo. check it out
Extra Free Vol. 1 by Lxury is one of (if not) my favorite lo-fi house records. It's remarkably consistent in quality but still manages to stay unique in sound. Listening to it for the first time, I was in awe at how good the production was on so many songs off this album. I definitely recommend checking it out, it seems like not many people have found it yet.
You might like Bae by Yung Bae. It's far from the most original record but is a really fun listen and in my opinion has similar vibe to Discovery.
I like how 3/4 in these comments are recommending you non-House albums. Really goes to show the musical IQ of most fantano watchers lmao
Thank you Anthony for doubling the size of my playlist, I was starting to get a little disturbed by alternating tracks from daughters and spellling
Listened to Vespertine for the first time today and it left me crushed. Abso-freaking-lutely a 10/10
It’s my favourite album atm, it was tpab for like 6 months but this has overtaken it for me for now, also try listen to lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven, it’s pretty great but also long each track is around 20 minutes but only 4 tracks
I'm envious. Wish I could listen to for the first time again
Discovery is an insanely good record. 10/10 for sure. Sort of disappointed that Burial - Untrue wasn't featured tho. Especially over here the UK it has been so influential to dance music and is flawless in my eyes
Agreed. Burial’s Untrue is an easy 10 both on artistry and impact.
I'm still confused as to why Justice isn't held in higher regard than Daft Punk. Song for song, and in terms of creative strength, I think Cross outpaces Discovery in almost every way.
@@bc5588 As much as Cross was ahead of its time, I think it was overshadowed by MGMT’s debut album which kick started whole electro indie pop scene.
@@bc5588 I think Justice just has the misfortune of not having strong follow-ups to keep them relevant. I have similar feeling about the debut Digitalism record.
@@sylvianblade75Ironically, Justice won a grammy for remixing electric feel. So Oracular Spectacular probably did more to popularize Justice than to overshadow them, at least in the U.S.
Love this idea. im interested in the flip side, what albums you consider “not goods”/zeros from before you started reviewing.
definitely that disturbed he showed in this video i feel
A video like that would take SO long to make. Picking out 10s from past decades is certainly a challenge, but you’re at least starting with a list of decent albums. Where do you even start with the worst albums of the decade?
@@parkerlee4775 You start at Nav and after that "People are also listening to..." section
K-Fed : Playing with fire
It'd just be a boring long list of albums and artists that have been rightfully forgotten
I'm surprised that neither Is This It nor Room on Fire made it onto this, since you've mentioned that they were pretty big albums for you going through college
(Still happy to see that Discovery and Madvillainy made it onto here though)
He did say in one his hot take videos that he loves is this it but he doesn't consider it an "all time greatest"
I wonder what makes it not qualify for 10/10 in Anthony’s opinion but one guess is that it is not substantial enough lyrically. But it’s a 10/10 for me baby (one of my all time faves)
Feel like I vaguely remember some video where he said he thought Room on Fire was a stronger album that ITI
All I remember is that in the Strokes tier list video he ranked both albums as S Tier. Personally, it would make sense to me that at least one of the above mentioned albums would be a 10, especially considering that they were ranked 2 tiers above the New Abnormal, which received an 8/10.
But maybe in regard to including Is This It, it would have been one too many albums from 2001 to make the cut ;)
(In my mind it's still a 10/10 though)
He tries to make it as unbiased as possible even though thats impossible, i personally have albums I think are better than actual 10s but music theory wise they probably arent
Man I’m confused. I thought for sure stuff like The Glow Pt. 2 would be here based on what he’s said about them, and I was totally not expecting discovery and toxicity to get that rating (not saying they’re bad tho, love both of them)
He said he would’ve thrown in 1-2 more albums from 2001. I would guess it would’ve been that and Jane Doe
He should’ve also put Mount Eerie on there (arguably better than the glow pt.2)
He did a series on his favorite classic albums and included it years ago. All the albums were just rated classics/10. I personally just assumed they are all 10s but maybe not.
I think a needle drop classics channel in general would be great: an output of the best and worst of past decades as I'd say most all of music listening is discovering old stuff
Yeah me too. I think part of the reason he does so few is that the 5 a year he drops don't even get watched that much
Yeah but I mean look at how much channel and contents he handles at a time...
I would say Donuts as well. One of the only albums that really sounds totally fresh no matter how many times I listen to it.
Agreed
the sampling of donuts is very creative and cool
J Dilla forever, he was a beat virtuoso
Facts
Dilla was an innovator. Pretty niche though, his beats on their own especially. His style didn't really catch on other than in lo-fi and jazz scenes. There's a large demographic that dislikes how lazy a lot of Dilla's production sounds, and I totally get that. He was one of the first to introduce a natural swing to his beats, other than that, he had a lot of hip-hop producer tropes that people didn't like. (entire tapes of loops, a lot of his songs are pretty abrupt, etc)
Really wish he talked about Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone by The Unicorns. He talked about it being a 10 before in a Let's Argue but I wish he talked about it here because that record doesn't get enough love and It's one of my favorite records of all time. I just think more people should listen to it.
What do you like about it? I think people need more convincing before searching it lol
@@thath09 filling in for that guy since I also felt the same thing. it's pretty much everything you'd want from an indie rock album. raw but accessible production, a little bit of unique instrumental flavor with the synths and other sorta childlike instruments, but mainly just centered around great sorta-linear pop songs and a wonderful interplay between the two members - so many instantly quotable vocal bits, like "WE DONT WANT TO DIE, IN THE OCEAN" or "BUT WE WERENT WELCOMEEEEE" or like every line on I Was Born A Unicorn. they had the songwriting and performing chops and the creativity to be doing big experimental pieces if they wanted to and chose to make a very simple and stripped down album with a very simple appeal. perfect for the spring and summer.

These are great choices. I’d put Tools Lateralus in as well. At least in my opinion. It’s got some transition songs that are weird but the songs themselves are incredible
good call, but if you have to say "but", then it isn't 10/10 ;)
@@mattypearce what he said
I don't think those transitional songs can be held against an album, they could easily be part of the songs themselves, and often are for music videos (parabol/parabola). They just break things up into friendlier chunks for commercial purposes or if you're dipping into it.
@@VivaMidnight agreed. That’s why I think it’s a 10/10 album
I don't have a problem with the transitional parts of the album at all - in fact I don't think it gets enough credit for how well it transitions and flows. I can see how it can be kind of jarring for a first time listen - Ticks and Leeches in particular is in kind of a jarring position on the album - but the more I listen to it the more I think everything fits just fine. Even the obligatory Tool bridge tracks are some of the most perfectly used in their entire discography. It's definitely a 10 for sure, fuck what all the haters have to say. 😎
And evidently, it too came out in 2001, what an interesting year for music, ha ha!!
Skinny Fists is deserving absolutely. It’s a major piece of rock history. Timeless and experiential.
It definitely is a huge piece of rock history. I hope more people deep dive into their music and how they've tried to use their platform as responsible citizens. It's very inspiring in its own right.
It is the standard hipster post rock album. Yes experimental and they are good musicians but it's still a pretty boring album even for that genre
Dang hot take indeed. I feel like most post rock genres I don’t have the patience to make it through. I suppose it depends who you admire more in the genre but as far as their contemporaries, Godspeed greatly outshines them in my book. What are albums that you feel put it to shame?
Correction: post rock albums not genres
Bear with me here but it's kind of like the nevermind of post rock 😅 music is obviously subjective so I can only say what I would rather listen to. Sigur ros agaetis byrjun or even () Jakob solace is definitely a top tier post rock album start to finish no filler and not 2 hours long 😂
Early mogwai maybe Cody or ep+6 are solid.

Storm is one of the greatest songs ever. EVER. I watched them for my 32nd birthday (2013) in Portland with Earth opening. Seeing Storm live is something I can’t explain. It was a soul crushing and an uplifting experience. I left that show crying.
Skip forward 9-10 months later and it’s summer again. It was a beautiful mid 70’s day. Clear blue skies. I put on my headphones and hopped on my skateboard. Usually I’d listen to Ghost Town by The Specials, because “duh.” This day I put on Storm. I barely made it a block before I started weeping. The song made me look at my surroundings in a completely different way and I was in such awe of the shear beauty of being alive and the world which blanketed me. I felt it’s warmth and I wanted more. I needed more. It was a torrent of emotions which made me feel alive again.
I’ve maybe felt and experienced this kind of raw visceral emotion only a handful of times.
1) In the depths of addiction.
2) The moment I knew I loved the human that would later be my wife.
3) Watching the life leave one of my best friends.
4) Holding my wife as I watched our child shoot out of her like a rocket on our bed, in our room, in our first home.
5) My mothers attempted suicide and her week long coma.
This is the power of art. This is the power of music.

On a visit to the local library at maybe 14, I was entranced by the Vespertine album cover in the small cd section. Borrowed it, brought it home, and that was it, hooked forever. Bjork helped set part of the framework for my most formative years 🖤 "Pagan Poetry" is just astounding, as is the video.
No glow pt 2 :(

He called it one of his 13 favorite albums, and none of these were there, so I'm assuming it's a 10
everyone knows melon loves Phil so we can be warm in the knowledge that our little record is really good.
Funeral-Arcade Fire and In Rainbow-Radiohead r my 2 10/10s for 2000s. Especially funeral I’m surprised it doesn’t get more hyped up for what it is
Doesn't Funeral get hyped up a lot? It's often considered one of the finest of 2004/the 2000s in general, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time.
Funeral is up there but I think it became a little less cool to mention it, because the band isn't as well received nowadays.
Maybe it does, I know it’s very popular I didn’t mean it goes under the radar, I just don’t hear people talk about it very often anymore
Funeral underhyped? It's a great record, but if anything it's overrated (like I said: still a great record, but when people say it's on par with the indie masterpieces like Kid A or Aeroplane, then they're overrating it. Anyhow, the album gets a lot of recognition for what it did.
Funeral and Neon Bible are their weakest records. However, from Suburbs through WE, they are absolutely fantastic
Skinny Fists was an album I started listening to while I was doing other things, but the moment the drums started in Storm, I sat down to do nothing but listen.

Continuum - John Mayer
Plans - Death Cab for Cutie
Good News for People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse
Edit: I forgot Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
College dropout better tho
@@barrymcockiner976 fr
Turn on the bright lights best album of the 2000s imo
Edit: I forgot about in rainbows, that’s better. Both are 10’s though
Wait was Long Drive by Modest Mouse late 90s or 200s cause I would put it over Good News
@@barrymcockiner976 i prefer late registration, but that's fair. Not gonna argue on that one
Madvillainy also has one of the greatest album covers of all time
Yeah it's sick af. Cheers to that !
Who decided that?
The orange square really ties it together
Inspired by In The Court Of The Crimson King and Madonna, an absolute masterpiece of cover album made by Jeff Jank
@@baabun-ssd mad villain fans want to be different so bad
Donuts by J Dilla absolutely deserves to be here, possibly the best produced hip hop album of all time in my opinion
Yes, it does! Such a masterpiece. I should re-listen it soon.
The greatest instrumental album ever made. Man I want a donut now
Personally, when it comes to instrumental hip hop, I've been a Modal Soul enjoyer.
Keep making these videos!
Some albums I love/I'd hoped you would mention were:
Ys - Joanna Newsom
Feels/Strawberry Jam - Animal Collective
Sound of Silver - LCD Sounsystem
so glad somebody else mentioned Ys
Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
Moon and Antarctica - Modest Mouse
Deloused in the Comatorium - Mars Volta
Lateralus - Tool
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine - DFA1979
Highly Refined Pirates - Minus the Bear
Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age
Is This It? - The Strokes
This is it by the strokes, ik it’s basic but I just has to be there
Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness came out in 1995 though
@@franniemcintyre120 revised. I def went loose with my list, but this should be correct in theme.
We want Velocity:Design:Comfort by Sweet Trip!!! Such a great 2000s album
vouch
Yes!
Tools Lateralus is a big miss here should def be given 10/10 status. Cool vid, I’m going to check out the album…with the hands on it..? never heard of it before.
GY!BE is amazing
Jane Doe by Converge. This album was a shot heard round the world for heavy music! after a decade of grinding through the underground, Converge finally took off like a flare gun blast! The songs are full of unique and memorable riffs and technical insanity, the production is one of the most brutal onslaughts in all of music, and the record doesn't need to have a single intelligible lyric to communicate the emotional impact of each track! Converge raised the bar on this one and continue to do so today!
Botch - An Anthology to Dead Ends should be noted as well with Converge. Sad that they broke up.
Great album
@Madden 07 Soundtrack Fan Account [Kendrick AOTY]
converge is better than all of those bands imo
I absolutely agree. One of my favorite albums of all time
@Kyle Donaldson Axe to Fall and All We Love We Leave Behind are also nothing short of spectacular. Gotta admit, the You Fail Me album never grasped me, but No Heroes and the ones after shred. Haven’t heard their newest stuff, but I’m sure it doesn’t disappoint.
vespertine is probably my favorite album of all time. can't tell you how many times i've listened to it, and it never gets old
Homogenic better
It never fails to give me chills and I listen to those songs almost every day
Agaetis byrjun! One of the most undeniably beautiful albums ever made, along with Godspeed shot post rock into prominence and very little sounds as beyond this world as it does to this day.
Didnt that come out in 1999
@@Ed.strell at the back end of 1999, but between that and the time it took having to be discovered outside of Iceland, it's not an unpopular viewpoint to throw them in the 2000's. (pitchfork sure did)
( ) wants a word 😉
The White Stripes. I cannot think of the 2000s without their sound and impact. Both White Blood Cells or Elephant are 10/10 IMHO
Honestly tho I will have to say that Under the northern lights is their best album(IMO). Their live shows are something else!
Great video Anthony, I was just suprised when you put every Hopsin album on here too. Love the content Queen.
My predictions going into this besides Madvillainy were:
Lift yr skinny fists
The glow pt 2
College dropout
In rainbows
The black parade
Sound of silver
Fever Ray
So I guess I don’t actually know this dude’s taste as much as I thought considering I only got one right lol
It was actually a very great try, though, since he did say he was going to include some albums he's done for Classic's Week before too. I don't doubt that these are likely strong 9s if not 10s from Fantano! Good guesses!
i think he would give those a 10 too.
Late registration?
i'm really surprised the glow pt 2 isn't on his list
@@no-ro6by he gave it a 9
At long last- I can enjoy music once more
No 2000's 10/10 list would be complete without Tool's Lateralus.
or Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs for the Deaf"
@@FF-oo8nz This is also true.
Feel like D'Angelo's Voodoo deserves some more credit, one of the best and most unrelenting R&B records of all time
Definitely a 10, actually can't believe someone making a video about the great albums of the 2000 and not mentioning Voodoo. Every song is excellent while also being 5 min+ (bar Chicken Grease 4:38).
Honestly wish I could get into Voodoo myself. Tried it, but I didn't enjoy it at all personally- felt oddly esoteric. Certainly glad it can touch so many, though.
@@DTheAustralian Can understand why certain people don't enjoy how raw the record is but for me that's what makes it unmistakably R&B
@@byronmealin
Yeah, I guess it's just not my thing. Might try it again to see how I feel about it now, but I'm fine either way- I'm not ashamed of my feelings regarding the album.
@@DTheAustralian I think that's fair, I feel the same about Kids See Ghosts, some things just aren't for us
As a dude who listens to primarily extreme metal, Vespertine is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my life. The production is mind blowingly fantastic and Björks lyrics and performances are otherworldly beautiful.
agreed.
I feel like I see a lot of metalheads enjoy many of bjorks material it’s like a phenomenon lol
@@simplerun5378 I feel like Björks music is easy to digest
@@simplerun5378 if youd compare to TPAB or The Money Store
Is This It- The Strokes
you will not find a tighter and more slick album from the 2000’s than Is This It. Not only is insane for a first album, they have still not topped this masterpiece. Lyrics about growing up and living life with a backdrop of simple yet catchy melodies which epitomise the New York chic lifestyle which was culminated by the end of the 90’s. 10/10
real. my favorite album of all time.
Real 10/10
Room on fire 8.5/10
New Abnormal 8.5/10
Angles: 7/10
First Impressions of Earth: 7/10
Comedown Machine: 5/10
i agree %100000
It’s pretty good but personally it’s more of an 8 for me. After a while the songs kind of start to sound the same except for the main singles
@@Marco-er4ql no you’re wrong cause it’s actually not an 8. it’s a 10.
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me still hits me after 20 years and makes me cry. I can't say the same for any other album
She barely wrote anything on that album.
