Cal I've only heard him and his music in the past couple of weeks and he's ready one of my favorite voices in hip-hop. Every Brockhampton member is talented but there is something special about Ameer.
Still need to give Saturation a listen, but I discovered High Tolerance through Spotify and it's easily one of the best songs I've found this year. Looking forward to hearing him on this project.
NDR3 it is sort of on the experimental side but not to the degree death grips is at all. It's a lot like Injury Reserve, if you liked this project listen to Floss by Injury Reserve
For those wondering, the performers in Brockhampton are: Kevin Abstract (dude w/ french fry hair and headband), Ameer Vann (bald black dude), Merlyn Wood (eccentric blonde black dude), Matt Champion (cute white rapper), Joba (long haired dude with beautiful falsettos), Dom McLennon (husky black dude) and Bearface (tbh idk what he looks like but he only appears on Waste),
Yeah ditto for me Fantano! This is the first time since i started following TND where i had the album, i had my opinion then the review dropped it matched up almost perfect w my take. Not that i need it to happen for me to dig the content, but when it does?? DAMN(.) it feels good! Ha
+Cramer True but Antoine def has influence now. Even if he puts "Its just my opinion, rt?" disclaimer in the description, it doesnt change the fact that he can affect sales/opinion to varying degrees in less mainstream genres (Ex: underground rap/hip hop, experimental, indie, metal genres etc) of for smaller artists. Imo its time for Fantano to drop the disclaimer entirely. Its his opinion, true, but its no longer *just* his opinion.
@@Alex_Nason Not super undeserved tbh. If Saturation is a 9 then I myself don't see TM being any higher than a 5. Not a 3, sure, but not much higher than that. Partly because literally all of their discography is so good, anything even slightly below par will stick out like a sore thumb.
Ron Wales I believe the OP is a parody of people who may mention these factors to be derogatory; making fun of them by stating these 'problems' in such a matter of fact way
Coming back to this following The Family and TM’s release is bittersweet. No matter how good something seems, it could end in just a few days, months, or for BH years. Take time to appreciate memories as they’re being created!
This video came out on my birthday 5 years ago, thank you anthony! Really enjoyed this revisit to your review. It's a shame this was your last video, rest in peace
bruckhampton is my favrit rapper on the internets this year. i like the sangs. i like the voices. i like the beets. i like the gitars. i like the everything. so good. good ravyoo anthony
This was the first Hip Hop/Rap album I ever really connected with back in Winter 2017 and I checked it out because of this review. I remember working at shoe store for shit wage, age 24, cleaning the staff bathroom, listening to this for the first time because Anthony sounded so ecstatic about the album. I was nearly moved to tears when WASTE finished. I listened to the album a second time immediately. The BOOGIE video dropped like a week later and the rest is history.
@@elmo4672 Thanks pal. I'm going to be 31 soon and I'm working for a software company now, things have changed haha, and yes the Saturation trilogy is still solid gold no pun intended. Especially the Bearface tracks imo
Are they that bad now? I've only listened to a couple of their new singles & I didn't really like em. I don't think anything will be better than this album
They never recovered from the loss of Ameer, not because of what he added to the sound, but due to the emotional toll of one of their integral members and best friends betraying their trust
i found kevin back in the late summer, and later found brockhampton. ive been excited for this album since they dropped the first single. This is probably my favourite hip hop album. I listen to this shit daily.
This review is absolutely ON-POINT. And dude, your fluency and inventive articulation makes a review like this RE-WATCH-WORTHY and then some. You are the doyen of music reviews; no fucker comes close. Love you, Forever, brother. John.
just so refreshing hearing all these new artist bringing back these old classic hip hop sounds these guys will definitely make a huge impact on the culture
Gave them a listen with you put em in a best of the week vid and I've been listening to them a ton ever since. Saturation is amongst the best albums this year so far in my book and I'm very happy you hyped them earlier.
I know it’s essential to have a mind of your own, but Antoine Fantoine gives so much insight, perspective, and thought into his reviews and has been for years. Just listened to this album before watching this, and there are a lot of moments in this review I think, “aaaahhh YYEEAaaaahh, I get that...”
The fact that he has FACE as his least favorite track despite saying that it is a fantastic single, shows how amazing this album is.
One of my favourites
2PAC was my least fav. Actually didnt even like it much at all :b I loved everything else though. anybody else?
DrunkenPopTart
I felt the same. I loved almost every single track but I tend to skip 2PAC

I give this comment a strong 9 well done
I agree. Brockhampton was what I wanted Odd Future to be in terms of overall musical quality.
Graham P dude YES.
They are basically what odd future, should have been, ALL the members are talented and not just 3.
Graham P omg dude I was thinking the exact same thing today
you can't say that about Earl though
Last name First name Whomst in odd future was talented other than Tyler and Earl??

They should have turned the exposure up instead of the saturation.

Cal Ameer and Matt are fucking fire in this album. And Kevin, obvs.
You know the albums great when face is the least favorite track
and when for his favorite tracks there are like fucking 7 of them xD
lol jk it's literally more than half the project xD
Face is my favorite
His favs are the whole tracklist except face and waste
Simon Nitsch Waste is really good when you're sad
They made this album in 3 weeks think bout that for a second...
Sunny D beat production until post-pro? that's amazing to know
Damn, they work fast. I guess that explains how Saturation II already came out.
Xavier and saturation 3 within 2 Months from now yeeee

You're acting like this doesn't happen on every other channel.
Im feeling a light to decent 7 on it
"mixtape" "experimental hip hop" "9/10"
is this death grips?
NDR3 If you only heard the instrumental for the first track, I think it would be reasonable to think that's a grips song
Nah these guys are actually listenable and good
NDR3 it is sort of on the experimental side but not to the degree death grips is at all. It's a lot like Injury Reserve, if you liked this project listen to Floss by Injury Reserve
Even if you didn't like Saturation check out Injury Reserve. Floss is extremely underrated.
Bruh Wow. My inner white boy is ready to fist your fucking face.
great review and imma let you finish but this shit was a 10/10

At this point Anthony might as well change all the scores over 9 to a FLANNEL/10

Face is my favourite on the album - shows what a standout album this is Brocktano has this as his least favourite track.
the beginning of something amazing
I remember when these guys were still small and I went to the topic video for bump with only twenty comments. One guy just said “?” Lol

I know it’s essential to have a mind of your own, but Antoine Fantoine gives so much insight, perspective, and thought into his reviews and has been for years. Just listened to this album before watching this, and there are a lot of moments in this review I think, “aaaahhh YYEEAaaaahh, I get that...”
Remember when you said "Is Kevin Abstract trying to be Frank Ocean?"
He said that in response to the empty video, Anthony already knew about Kevin prior to that and liked some of his music.
When did he say that?
i come back to yellow flannel reviews because its so great to watch
