surprised him didn't mention the bassline on Daffodils. One of the inventive bass techniques i've ever seen and it's an phenomenal line throughout the track. Has to be seen live to appreciate
I think Albert Road is my song of the year. Though you'd probably only get the most out of the lyrics if you're familiar with the experience of growing up in a Northern English market town.
Strongly recommend this album. Listened to it on release on a whim, everything except The Best Tears of Your Life was good to great, Not Everybody Gets to Go to Space and R&B omega slap.
i found this band a couple months ago in the leadup to this album and thought the collection of singles was an EP and that that was all we were gonna get from them. so glad this album came out because it's really good and adds to my evergrowing collection of uk indie bands i can't get enough of. bcnr, divorce, and yard act being some other of my faves currently.
Had the pleasure of seeing them live a few months back, beyond excellent, they are going to do something special one day. However, the album is just a bit too mid-tempo to really live up to the hype. However, there’s so much potential on show here I can’t help be excited for whatever comes next. The World’s Biggest Paving Slab goes so, so hard.
If English Teacher titled this album …… uh um uh um uh hold on let me think um uh wait uhhhhhhhh……… “To Pimp A Classroom”, you would have given an album an 11 out of 10.
I actually think this album IS mind blowing. No weak spots for me. Great lyrics also. Contender for Album of the Year, for me. Perfect album closer also.
Highly recommend listening to "Sprints - Letter to Self". I know there's no shortage of punk/indie bands this year, which is no bad thing, but they really are very good. I think they stand out from the ever growing crowd.
This might be the first time I’ve agreed with any of your takes, some real misses on this album but the tracks they get right are really incredible and im looking forward to seeing what they do next (and seeing them in a couple weeks!)
It's actually funny because I really love all the songs that you had gripes with, and I play the second half a lot more often However, this is also one of my fav releases this year, so I generally don't have a problem with anything here
Interestingly I’ve always felt “You Blister my Paint” to be the song that could’ve ended the album. In the first few plays I would get caught off guard when the album continued playing.
Speaking of being late to the party with excellent English indie albums that came out this year (😉)…..would love to see you review Nadine Shah’s “Filthy Underneath”? ☺️ For my money one of the best albums of the year so far, and from what I can see it’s being criminally slept on. Have a listen and tell the people, Anthony! :)
Sometimes, like on World's Biggest, there's something about the engineering that leads to the guitars and sounds in general on this record lacking an edge and blending together into a nondescript jumble of noise, not nearly as pleasant as shoegaze records like the recent feeble little horse album, but still hard and I'll admit this is still a great record and I enjoyed it most of the time. It's sometimes giving BC,NR, like Broken Biscuits could've flat out been on Live at Bush Hall between the instrumental movements and the vocal switches from singing to deadpan. But their range to also pull off something more aggressive seemed good too. They're clearly very capable and I look forward to more, the engineering was just a huge snag that held back this record's best songs for me.
Anthony, I was thinking right, you ever plan to make an actual review of that one kid cudi album you skipped? Specifically “Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon” You have rarely ever talked about it and I really wish to see what your thoughts on it are
Not an Indy fan but this is one of the more interesting new records l have heard for some time. Like anything good, they sound a bit like ( fill in the blank) but not so. Stand out from the Mercury nominations and deserved winners
I've listened to this album a few times now and, yep, this is a pretty fair review, although I believe I like it more than Anthony. As a sidenote, however, I really don't like the album art. It reminds me of something dada/surrealist Max Ernst might've done, which is what I think they were going for, but not nearly as good.
Can you review Fabiana Palladino's debut album "Fabiana Palladino" ? An absolute marvel of an album. I'd like your take on that album. Album also co-produced by Jai Paul.
So glad Cal graduated from the Tortured Poets Department and became Anthony’s English teacher 🥰
It's Anteny
@@matthewengle9554way to ruin it buddy
using beach house as a pfp is tuff

Beyoncé: This Ain’t Texas 🤠
English Teacher: This Could Be Texas 🤯
Love the fact that Cal has returned. Hope he’s recovering ok from COVID.
Anthony Fantano could be Bald
Big if true
He just might be
i died
BALD!
You have to say allegedly before these types of comments
That cardigan is crazy
if 1984 is a cardigan
That’s a fair score but Albert Road is a fantastic closer and I hope melon realizes this soon.
I think Albert Road is my song of the year. Though you'd probably only get the most out of the lyrics if you're familiar with the experience of growing up in a Northern English market town.
Nearly daffodils has been stuck in my head for weeks now, keep going back to it, it's honestly great
*NEARLY!*
@@TheDobleQdaffo
It went from This Ain't Texas to This Could Be Texas, can't wait for This Is Texas
This should be Texas
Some might say that Texas is the Reason
This ain’t Texas (woo!) ain’t no hold em
I can't believe it's not Texas!
Is this texas?
absolutely loved this album. They had me hooked with the other version of R&B and then Albert Road
i prefer the previous version over the album version
@@sonnyfer it has more vigour and emotion deffo
Bro really reviewed the album in this video 💀
Albumpilled reviewcel
he review the album till i comment
he album on my review till i com(m)e(nt)
He is a music reviewer
bro visited his friend
Gotta say, wearing a Mac Miller’s Faces mixtape sweater was a pretty bold move, Melon.
Strongly recommend this album. Listened to it on release on a whim, everything except The Best Tears of Your Life was good to great, Not Everybody Gets to Go to Space and R&B omega slap.

Yes anthony you deserve an A for letting Cal chuchesta appear in every video
Your thumbnail game has been on point!
You would have given it a 10 if it was called "this could be California"
it could be the empire state building

They were announced as the opener for Idles in Boston this September so I've been checking this album out, I enjoy it and will take some time to grow.

😂😂😂
What did you think of Ugly (UK)'s "Twice around the Sun". I absolutely bloody love it
Loved this record
Thought this was going into the 2024 catch up video, glad you reviewed this one
WE JUST WANT THE NEW BLADEE
Can't believe we got GTA VI before the Cindy Lee review
Please review Cindy Lee
FANTANO THIS IS NOT THE BLADEE ALBUM
REAL
Anything below an 8 and i will cry
pls!!!!!!!! bladder revuew!!!!!!!
cold visions bladee
I actually think this album IS mind blowing. No weak spots for me. Great lyrics also. Contender for Album of the Year, for me. Perfect album closer also.
I agree with Blister my Paint and Sideboob being a bit slow, but Albert Road is my favorite song of the album. Also, some love for Broken Biscuits❤
Wow melon has really gone crazy with the thumbnails recently wow
seeing them live in august, i think their stuff is pretty cool
HYPERDRAMA review when????
What do you mean if there even is a next time??? DON'T LEAVE US CAL!!!! 😭😭😭😭
Definitely gonna check this album out!
ok now do Blue Bendy - So Medieval, the much better art rock debut album out of the UK
bring the cold visions review
That Cal joke took me right out
Absolutely loving the fit. Cardigan looks great !!
reviews dillom's album Por Cesárea🙏🙏🙏
Cindy lee new album review when ?
I can see Anthony giving it either a 9 or a 5. I really hope he reviews it eventually.
That intro joke was pretty clever. Got a laugh out of me.
okay now you’re making me mad where is bladee
Highly recommend listening to "Sprints - Letter to Self". I know there's no shortage of punk/indie bands this year, which is no bad thing, but they really are very good. I think they stand out from the ever growing crowd.
I’ve heard that one! It’s pretty good.
Beyonce: this ain't texas
english teacher: hold my beer-
Can't agree with comments about final tracks. Sideboob and Albert Road are fantastic songs! 8/10 minimum!
Great album!👌
Really loving the Cal comeback recently on the channel
Very glad you reviewed this, easily my AOTY as of now
This might be the first time I’ve agreed with any of your takes, some real misses on this album but the tracks they get right are really incredible and im looking forward to seeing what they do next (and seeing them in a couple weeks!)
Anthony, you can’t subtract 3 points just because they’re English Teachers and not Math Teachers.
You blister my paint is your least favourite?? That’s crazy, I’ve had this song on repeat for weeks now and can’t get tired of it
Review new Bladee. it's a 10/10 and you know it.
In the chorus of "The World's Biggest Paving Slab" I can't un-hear the similarity with Desperate Journalist's "Be Kind".
It's actually funny because I really love all the songs that you had gripes with, and I play the second half a lot more often
However, this is also one of my fav releases this year, so I generally don't have a problem with anything here
just review cold visions already
I honestly needed new rock music in my life so badly
he be killing the fits lately
Interestingly I’ve always felt “You Blister my Paint” to be the song that could’ve ended the album. In the first few plays I would get caught off guard when the album continued playing.

I'm from Pendle and the fact that fantano has now heard two songs about it is mad to me
Sometimes, like on World's Biggest, there's something about the engineering that leads to the guitars and sounds in general on this record lacking an edge and blending together into a nondescript jumble of noise, not nearly as pleasant as shoegaze records like the recent feeble little horse album, but still hard and I'll admit this is still a great record and I enjoyed it most of the time.

Transition/Album Listen...bars like THAT are why Cal is considered in the Top 3 rapmen conversations
Only Texas could be Texas, Fantano
Looking healthy Fantano, and digging the sweater!
can't believe cal held onto those glasses for all these years
CAL CHUCHESTA WITH GLASSES???
don’t they know that this ain’t texas, and ain’t no hold em
This band will be around for a long time!
please don’t ever stop, you contribute so much for the music scene. We were wondering if you can review our album?🥺Bog Monkey Hollow
Cal can graduate now to his very own channel. *sniffle* they grow up so fast.
Are you ever going to review the new St. Vincent or Maggie Rogers albums?
This album is great but unfortunately only the second best indie/post-rock album with Texas in the title
What's the first one?
@@leonardodisavino6166 texas jerusalem crossroads
Glad to see Mr. Giorgi decided to release an album rather than give me a essay to do.
Bro those thumbnails are reaching new heights
sick, the basslines are so good, i really like this band
At least a 9. It's a great debut!
bladee review when
loving the schizophrenic fit anthony!
REVIEW COLD VISIONS BY BLADEE, we know u love this stuff
Is the bassist sending a royalty check to Lol Tulhurst?
Weird they emailed me the other day
The "Mercury Award" winners of 2024. Well done English Teacher!
Ninethony Livestano? Will you review Ashley Ninelives?
Anthony out here with the School of Mensis cardigan 🔥
Not an Indy fan but this is one of the more interesting new records l have heard for some time. Like anything good, they sound a bit like ( fill in the blank) but not so. Stand out from the Mercury nominations and deserved winners
Thumbnails goin' absolutely bonkers lately
Where TF is the samlrc review?!?! A Lonely Sinner is quite literally breathtaking
Waittt when did u review this?!!!
This could be Texas, but it ain't no hold 'em
Cal needs to gradually take over the channel
This is just as likely to be a disco, a party, and some fooling around that you have time for now as it is Texas
