Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - เพลง
Where the snake, I wanted the snake to review it
We didn't get a snake but hey we got a harp
Same! Like his Kanye reviews when he just eats for 10 mins 😂
Same
@@davidj.r.6657 we could've gotten a snake playing a harp tho😔
Clickthony Baitano
A WHOLE harpist??????
That's what Cal says, but does anyone actually see the whole harpist? Just saying.
as opposed to half a harpist
@@bmryner90 a harpist is a harpist, you can't say she's only a half
@@jeorl25 stating whole, implies the existence of less than whole. If u didn't get the joke just move along 😂😂
@@bmryner90I was making another reference 😅 its ok
Harp music made this review sound like an Elder Scrolls game
The Elder Melon's Scrolls
Eldenthony Scrolltano
he's about to give some fire quests for sure
Fantano is certainly an npc
@@projectx5154 nah hes defo a co-op only player(coming from a co-op only player)
The harp is quite nice.
i'm having a hangover which means i'm much more sensitive than usual and yeah the harp made me cry
@@LubomirKriz-jq2ok It's going to be okay, fellow melon follower.
@@LubomirKriz-jq2okLove you ❤
WE STAYING MINDFUL OUT IN THIS HEAT 🗣‼️🧘♀️🙏
@@LubomirKriz-jq2ok read that as "i'm having a hamburger which means i'm much more sensitive than usual" and thought "yeah that checks out"
Never in my wildest dreams I imagined Fantano pronounce the words "Jujutsu Kaisen".
Kendrick: "If Nav regained his full power, it might be a little tough."
Melon: "But would you lose?"
Kendrick: "Nah, *I'd win."*
Melon: "ON MY WAY 2 REXDALE 10/10"
Why tho? He always wears a one punch man shirt on his 2nd Chanel. He definitely knows a few things about anime
Timestamp?
@@m0bb-_- I remember he did say he enjoyed Squid Girl

.this thumbnail is TERRIFYING
Why
me when I'm a baby
Snakes never hurt anybody😂 (I don’t even believe what I just said)
Yeah I thought it was going to come after me
Man I shit you not, I just finished reading a horror story about a guy who's haunted by rattlesnakes, I went on TH-cam and this is the first thing I see. I damn near shat myself.
Most chill video I've watched from him. THE HARP MUST STAY
Do you know how rare it is to find a WHOLE harpist?!
@@landonwalker665do they usually come in halves?
@Fenilee I've rarely found them even in halves, they're most common in eighths
they're common in fourths actually
that's wild, i've only found a few but they were all in thirds
no way, is that the harp lady?!?!😱
her name is EMILY.
more like the carp lady
@@incognitocitrusgod you’re so right
@@KOKOW0RLD i hope they become a couple
@@tlou_msmsmsmshe’s a female, we don’t need to call her by name
anthony didn’t show his trouser snake in this video, clickbait and terrible revi- IS THAT CALBOY AND A HARPIST?????
A whole Harpist at that
ANTHONY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFANTANO HERE, WE WILL REVVVVVVVVVIEW THISSSSSSSSS MEGAN THEEEEE SSSSSSSTALLION ALBUM
TOGETTHAA WE WILL DEVOOOWAHH THE VERY GODS THEMSSSSELVES
I can hear this comment lmfaooo😂😂
Genuinely I don’t I’ve ever payed more attention to a video of yours than this one. My adhd locked in. Holy crap that harp is magic
I'm focusing on the harp and struggling to follow lmao
my hyperfocus is off the charts rn
It’s almost like you don’t have adhd if you can choose when to “lock in”, clown ass 🥷
Same! I have add and the I swear the video felt like 5 minutes. Was surprised that I retained everything and didn't zone out after 20 seconds
I personally still prefer traumazine, but I’m happy to see you giving her genuine criticism and credit where credit is due
Same!
Yes and its not based on hate like most faux stan twitter critics spew online.
"Traumazine" did NOT get enough attention.
SAME. This felt like a step backward. I blame everyone who slept on it. 😭
That harp was heavenly man. Very relaxing. But I really wanted to see the snake reivew this album.
The only reason Anthony didn’t review PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 is because he didn’t want to recreate the album cover for the thumbnail.
I wish melon recreated that cover
Everybody sleeps on PARTYNEXTDOOR fr
@@Imm0rtal24you what
@@limit9020 hear me out...
@@misstirossahe hasnt been good since PND2 the drugs and OVO ruined him
oh hell naw melon turning into a scaly now 💀
aw hell nah yo ass tweaking Fantawn
He’s now scaled and nerdy
@@fifthecho295 if that's what TOP called the album he would've given it a 10
he going beast mode
Im a snekkk
this is the most tranquil fantano video of all time
scary thumbnail, surprising chill and serene review lol
The continued Emily collabs are great. Tony, you gotta get into the guitar pedal review game.
Gotta get Nick Reinhart to play while constantly clicking new effects on pedals in the background while he reviews an album now
Chilling in a tavern with harp music looking for maidens and this jester won’t stop talking about snakes or horses or something.
my score for the harp lady is 10/10
the video became so much more zen with the addition of Emily. Very entertaining!
With this background music i feel like i'm lying down in a sauna while anthony is ranting somewhere me
I’m glad this is a greenscreen and you didn’t make this poor girl bring her whole harp to your house
Melon is looking very pale in the thumbnail, is he alright?
He’s white he was born that way , be nice
@@MeganArmitagewas he born white😮?
drop the melon skincare
@@SumeriyaYaxlaka yeah because god makes no mistakes.
You could become my comfort youtuber with the addition of the harp, knocking that other guy anthony fantano off the podium
This was very relaxing Anthony, thank you.
I still think Traumazine was the better album and deserved a higher score than this one
Her best work to me. Anxiety is my ish
Holy shit he turned into young thug in the thumbnail
💀
Omg i'm literally obsessed with the harp music, it makes your review feel so soothing, i don't think i've ever felt this relaxed when watching one of your reviews holy shit. Also i loved this album, I thought she killed it. Some of those singles have some of the hardest hitting bars in a while. Love her!
This is peak video to gently fall asleep to
@@Marcopolo-pm8ty real!
To be fair, the harp made this review considerably less painful, considering the fact that I'm a huge fan of Megan and I was expecting so much more from this album. It pains me to admit it could have been so much more.. and it wasn't. There's a lot of room for her to grow as an artist, and I really appreciate the empathetic approach you took when pointing that out.
Lowkey my favorite way you've had a guest on this channel so far
This is the earliest ive ever been to a fantano video lets go
fr 56 seconds
Same😊
Wrong
Nobody gaf
idgaf
I'm giving this track a light to decent 6, TheNeedleDrop. The harp really puts the spoken word together.
THERES A SNAKE IN THE THUMBNAIL WATCH OUT ANTHONY
Megan is so DAMN good and I wish people gave her more DAMN respect. DAMN
Facts
It’s cause he gave the album a 9? Very good.
Now that you have a whole harpist, I can finally watch your videos
I’ve always heard you were a snake Anthony but I didn’t think it was this literal!
I understand why Worthy might be someone’s least favorite song, it can definitely feel a little simple. But it ended up being one of my favorites on the album because I listened to it for the first time at the gym. Having that mantra in my head in a place where I can feel really insecure if I’m not careful was truly powerful.
I think the album is ok, has good stuff here and there, Love the japanese -inspired songs, I do really like Spin and some of her ode to Texan Rappers, some features are weak, some production needs work or is questionable, but I did enjoy this. I think she needs some more variety with her sound to truly pop, but I am happy for her. She's really killing it honestly.
I agree. She needs more variety in instrumentals & needs to change up her cadence
that's the issue after every release it's the same problems over and over again
@@amirahchandler She has the talent to make a classic but she runs on autopilot & makes decisions that confuse me.
@@amirahchandler To be honest, the repetition is massive on this project. There is enough change in instrumentals on her other projects
The harp is so calming I almost fell asleep
ASMR review is actually insane but I love it lol
Never thought I’d get this emotional during a Megan The Stallion review 😢
If this album was an album you would’ve listened to the album and given it your honest opinion , then you would’ve gave it a reasonable rating based off how you feel about the album
@@MeganArmitageNO HE DIDNT WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT LIL BRO
@@KiloCreates0_0 yelling and being emotional won’t make me agree with you
@@MeganArmitage you really thought I was being serious? 😂
This sounds like an oblivion NPC reviewing music
WHY DID YOU SCARE ME LIKE THIS WITH THE THUMBNAIL 😩😠😥☹️🥺😿💔🤕🥵
i like how the in-universe harp playing with the edited review leaves the implication that those jump cuts aren’t edited and anthony just does that
im not gonna lie, the harp is distracting as hell
Harp is such a nice addition to your reviews. Not intrusive and lulls me into just being present and listening in a busy world.
I love the calming harp music in the background!
The harp gives a minecraft background music feel lol
I like that you are getting more creative with your reviews, Mr Melon. The harp was a pleasant surprise and it made the review a bit more interesting tbh. Thank you Harp Lady & Cal
I like Megan but a 7 is pretty generous. Her albums all feel the same to me. This one didn’t feel any more personal than usual.
then you’re not her target audience. every album has had its own meaning & if you can’t pick apart each album, that’s not really her problem.. lol
Saying this while traumazine is quite literally right there 😭
Calmest review with an ICP shirt
I’ve been watching you for over 10 years and I must say, this harp is an amazing touch. You should have background music for all of your videos. This harp in particular is so soothing.
Thanks Anthony, I've been having a hard time falling asleep lately but this video helped me do that right away! Keep up the great work in your new ASMR direction!
I really love there being some kind of music in the background of the reviews
lovely Pomni shirt melon!! glad to see you’re supporting indie animation!
that's an ICP shirt.
He mentioned this briefly towards the end of the review that he hadn’t seen much artistic growth within Megan in the last five years and that kind of sums up my thoughts on the album perfectly : a lot more of the same. Kind of shocked that Fantano recognizes there's little growth but still rates this project pretty highly. Most of his criticisms of the album are issues Megan has had since her debut. An inability to switch up flow/delivery, bad production choices, and poorly written choruses. Some of these criticisms directly mirror issues he had with her last release, even down to the failed attempt at pop rap.
Drives me crazy how far one has to scroll to get to actual discussions of the album being reviewed…sigh
I really like Megan and think she’s a good rapper but I feel she’s suffering the same issue as Taylor. It’s great to have a favorite collaborator but I also think it helps diversify your sound when you work with other people. (I think Billie and Finneas is an interesting exception here.)
Beyoncé gets a lot of criticism often for collaborating with so many people BUT it also gives her catalogue such exciting diversity. I’d love to see Megan take a cue and do the same. She even mentioned in a recent interview how much she’d love to work with Finneas. I hope it happens!
She's not al album artist, she's a single artist at most. No evolution or any overarching themes in the album other than her whole persona of "f you, i'm the best, you can't say anything, i'm the best.". Get's boring reeeeeall fast.
@@ashleywilliams1988 Phineas is truly one of the best musicians ever, Billie would be nothing without him, hot take.
flow and delivery aren’t the same thing
@@deoczidGONIwhich is crazy cause she’s clearly had some profound things happen in her life. I wish she did more self-exploration and reflection in her work. Not everyone needs to make big stepper kind of albums, but storytelling is what makes rap so beautiful. When I think of the oft-cited greats, they typically span time, location, and style. What they all usually have in common is fantastic storytelling. We’ve lost this in a lot of popular rap, and Megan isn’t much of an exception.
anthony can you shut up i'm tryna hear the beautiful harp
Never though I would end a review just by the beauty and melodious sound of the Harp ❤️
Really appreciate this details tho not always I agree with the final score.
the harp makes this so tranquil... it's like a fancy version of subway surfers on the other half of the screen (which is how i usually watch fantano reviews)
that thumbnail is probably the biggest jumpscare in fantano lore since the infamous mohawk
You mean blond mohawk? God, I feel old now.
@@p0werfu11 36 years algo that's crazy 🙏😱
The random nature of your videos recently is an amazing change of pace 😂
you in your Scott Walker's Bish Bosch era 😭😭😭
Ngl, didn't expect to see Harp Lady (emily) and the music she added to this was VERY enjoyable. Lovely sounds
MELONNNN GIVE SAMURAI A YELLOW FLANNEL AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
Anthony we see the ICP shirt. The juggalos want a classic review of the great milenko or riddlebox
The thumbnail 💀
While totally distracting. The harp was fun for this vid 7/10
Didn't know i needed a harp background in your reviews.
It is indeed nice.
Fantano review with background music just sounds so fitting, hopefully this shows up more in the future :-)
WHERE'S CUPCAKKE?
This
horrible take but the harp makes it feasible
I’m living for these Emily collabs
I like the harp in the bg
I thought Snakethony Snaketano was gonna do this review :(
I just want to say that I'll always want the harp played in the background now. Always. Damn it.
Harp and Carp Lady to add some elegance to your vids is much appreciated, thx Cal
Feeding Cal to a Snake is NOT A REVIEW MELON!!!
Wow, this new Joanna Newsom album is experimental as hell
Loving this new Zen-Review format!
this is crazy bc i was just watching another video of yours and i was thinking "i wonder when he will review the new megan album" and then 10 mins later here we are
I feel like Fantano is fully leaning into the fact that he looks like the people who had the shrink ray in Despicable Me 1.
🔥🔥🔥 harp backing goes hard af
Jo this review was actually really relaxing. Thx Emily
Thumbnail heckin spooked me
Megan Thee Stallion - MEGAN ALBUM REVIEW (SPA EDITION).
My 1am drunk self really appreciate the beautiful background harp, thank you fwonton
The production budget is getting out of hand.
I always knew that Megan was capable of releasing an album better than MBDTF thx for confirming this melon
These jokes keep getting lamer and lamer, day by day.....
Anthony Fantano comments try to be funny challenge [IMPOSIBLE!!! GONE SMEXUAL]
@@Juelz_GnWFantano has the most npc subscribers of all TH-camrs lol this isn’t a shocker
cry more
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 The people trying to be different all speak the same 🤔🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been a fan of yours for 10+ years and this is the first time I hide a video of yours because of the thumbnail 💀
loving the music the review nice touch melon
review dauntless manifesto pleaseeee
misssssssssssssssssssstony taketano here
Fantano should do more background music after this, that range from calmly ambient to chaotic noise that would be funny
Personally I also expected more esp when it came to the theme of the album. But after relistening to it multiple times I have to say this a album full of bops, I was okay with at the beginning but now I'm lowkey obsessed. I do still think there's room to grow for her but I'm very positive abt this.
i think this was a fair review, i was honestly nervous about how this album would be received bc of everything you laid out here about where she is in her career. as a weeaboo i have a hard time getting through otaku hot girl bc i still feel the burn of embarrassment of my teenage years as a nerd but maybe after i heal more spiritually i can appreciate megan owning it. oh also on first listen i disliked Mamushi the most bc of what you said here but eventually i was seduced and now it's one of my favs. so basically just don't listen to it if you want to keep disliking it.
Is Fantanto holding Gothegg hostage?
Resident Evil save room type review.
I was also underwhelmed by the KRIT track at first but it's grown on me since then. The album is pretty solid overall. 👍
harp greatly increases the quality of the video please keep this up
