It's only been a few years, wait till 2022 or something to see if it aged Edit: it has aged incredibly well. But thanks to everyone for letting me know that for six years fucking straight
yes dude, i love the piano. the vocal energy is also pretty good/balanced too and in all the parts when he uses autotune it sounds so perfectly subtle. it's overall a vibe and on a certain level i find the song to be relatable
+loricikk17 The sound on this album is probably not considered "real hip hop" by purists. But look at albums like 808 and heartbreak and Yeezus for example. For the most part hip hop heads shit on 808. It turned out to be a huge pivotal point in hip hop and influenced a wave of new rappers. Same thing with Yeezus. The grungy, in your face, abstract sound is influencing people like Travis Scott. Again people for the most part shit on Yeezus but don't realize the influence it's going to have on future artists. This album was Travis Scott's own interpretation of that new sound that many people still do not appreciate.
All i hear is sound sound and again sound. What about the things that make rap different than other genres: flow, rhymes and message. Yes I agree that the production is good but there is no message in those kind of albums. Basically instrumental albums and some gibberish on top.
iii iii definitely heavily influenced people quavo basically heard rodeo and ran wit Travis whole style. A lot of rappers changed up their style after rodeo.
I don't think it's a 10/10 album because not every single track is great, there are some tracks that are weak compared to the rest, but still, at least a 9/10
Me too! Before I heard this album I though he was just some random trapper rapper with an Atlanta sound and wild antics on stage, but after listening to Rodeo, my opinion of him flipped a whole 360. I even went back and listened to his 2 previous mixtapes and enjoyed them as much if not greater than Rodeo.
Yeah man same it's an amazing song! I wish he had more like it it's the first travis Scott song I ever heard (apart from antidote) I actually caught it by accident on Spotify radio lol
Nah on his latest re-review of rodeo he said he likes it better now than back then (prolly light-decent 9). Also, his rating doesn’t mean the albums are just as good but rather the execution or his personal liking of it
So glad this man reviewed this album. I heard antidote before and wasn't really impressed, I thought Travis was just another auto tune abuser. But now I'm loving almost every song on this album
I've said it since the beginning. With guys like him and Young Thug, they aren't just your regular rappers, or even vocalists. You gotta look past the regular mold of a successful artist to appreciate what they bring to the table. They paint these pictures with these overall aesthetics they can achieve with their vocals in unison to the production they enlist for their projects. It's like their voice just another instrument in the production.
Dear comment section: Stop using Fantano's opinion as a barometer for validation. Form your own opinions, if you like something don''t start hating it because Fantano gave it a 3/10 and vice versa. This album is great but IMO birds is not a 3. I mean it's not as good as Rodeo but it's still at least a 7, if not more. Fantano is good at encapsulating his opinion and backing it up with reasons but that doesn't mean those reasons are constantly gospel, they are his perspectives. See things from your own perspective, listen to it and pay attention if you care about the music, take stock of what you like and what you don't, form a basis of your own taste instead of trying to match it up against someone elses for validation. This applies whether you are listening to a panda bear album or a travis scott album.
Villain Birds is not a shit album. It isn’t as consistent as Rodeo or Astroworld but some of the songs are just as hard hitting as tracks off of those two (Way Back, Through the Late Night, Goosebumps). It’s good party music. That’s about it.
@@malcolme9780 Dark Side Of the Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Led Zeppelin IV, The Joshua Tree, Millennium, wait.... But still this album was supah hot fire. Does deserve a 10.
I agree on the fact that bittsm is way less memorable than rodeo, but for me outside is the most trashy song of the album. You gon tell me that outside is better than the ends, way back or sweetsweet ?
looking thru the comments I'm shocked that nightcrawler was not mentioned. The lyrics are nothing deep but he melodies and the production is truly symphonic. The song has such amazing tension and release and each verse transitions amazingly to the next section. Travis really arranges and orchestrates the music. He knows what to put in and take away to really have the song flow. Plus the melodic lines are really great and fit perfectly with the instrumental
Great review. Who else remains this consistent & articulate for 23 minutes without trailing off or skipping a beat? All hail based Fantano. All hail Travis Scott. Forever.
He doesn't do it continuously. if you notice there are multiple cuts where you can see the frames skip. He does it one segment at a time while sitting in the same place then pieces all the segments together to create a seamless monologue.
+ya mom swallows kids on the daily He just does one take and has note cards with bullet points, probably just cuts out the part where he looks to see what the next bullet is. In Anthony's interview with Nardwuar, Nard even asked him how is he so articulate.
TYPES OF PEOPLE BUTTHURT OVER THIS REVIEW 1.Upset Fans of Artists who have gotten lower scores e.g This got higher than _________ 2. Pretentious Music elitist's who feel like anything containing a lot of Auto-tune is automatically wack regardless of how well it's orchestrated or how well it fits the overall aesthetic. 3. Reel Hips Hops fans who hate on anything that isn't deep, lyrical or doesn't coincide with the status-quo of what's "Good Hip Hop" by traditional standards. 4. People Who shrug at the very whiff of ignorant lyrics regardless of how it fits in with the vibe and the instrumentals. 5. People who want to hate on Travis because of all the hype he's receiving combined with the fact that he's a bit of a prick in real life.
His lyricsm isn't great but the production, energy and the vibe of this album is amazing. I feel like this album will pave the way for a lot of new and upcoming artist.
+Jack Thread you read my mind exactly. Travis Scott is a young energetic entertainer and he is not trying to hide it, especially in his live shows. He truly blows the audience away with his unbridled energy and deep lyrics would not work with his style at all.
Yeah its weird .but has great instrumentals I think Anthony was more into the sounds then the Vocals.This is not a new sound just enhanced. future is the best at it in my opinion when it comes to vocals but with more meaning.Scott has better production and I see why Kanye kept him under his wing
James Brown it does sound kinda rocky-ish, but its been pretty much confirmed that Lean helped produce it because there's pics of them together in the studio on Travis's insta, and Bladee said it on twitter
@@SPACEDOUT19It would be a fluke if Travis dropped off immediately after this. Or an “Illmatic” type of situation where it’s the only album one could name
I'll say it, I underestimated this album. Before, I thought trap music was a waste of time. I only decided to buy this cause of the extra money I had so I risked it. And man, this is fucking amazing and I'm so glad I took that risk. 90210 is probably my favorite song right now. Travis Scott takes trap music to a whole new level and I'm definitely a new fan.
Rodeo was such a fantastic, unexpected album. I still think it's underrated. It's probably the only "trap rap" project worthy of being called an album.
Mesus To Pimp a Butterfly, I Don’t Like Shit I Don’t Go Outside, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, B4.DA.$$, Summertime ‘06, Rodeo, AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP, DS2, etc. Lot of good music that year
T.I. is the narrator of the story, that's what his vocals were for. He wanted it similar to Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon 1 like when Common did the same thing on some of those tracks. He's a huge Cudi fan so it made a lot of sense to have someone who gave him a record deal and put him on his label on here
tidal is gonna stream it for a week, then we will be able to download it from apple music and spotify and etc. the album is leaked anyway, and it's weak imo
Fun fact, Piss on your Grave was meant for Yeezus 2, before it got transformed into TLOP and initially was a kanye solo project, before being given to Travis in exchange for Kanye getting FML on TLOP.
call me late in the game, but I just sat down and finally heard this whole album last night from start to finish and it's easily my favorite of 2016, even though it was a 2015 jump off. I'm glad I gave it a listen! Will continue to bump this the rest of the year! 9/10 from me.
I love the transition from the intro of Maria I’m drunk to the piano of the main part and how travs sustained voice crosses over into the dreamy, atmospheric piano melody
It’s crazy reading these comments now only from four years ago. Travis has became an insanely large artist ever since then (not that he wasn’t already) and the amount of success he’s had since this album dropped, is unreal. This album is still one of the best modern rap albums created
+Renni You're only saying that cos you went into the track with preconceived notions about Bieber and you want to force yourself to not like it. Bieber did fine
+Kingsley de Jenga It is absolutely not better than Wasted. The message, the lyrics, even the beat and the features work into the track beautifully. I'd truly say "Piss on Your Grave" is the worst track on here, it's quite cringeworthy.
+Adrian Ramirez I appreciate the Pimp C sample, but "Wasted" is still an instant skip for me. But regardless, "Piss on Your Grave" is definitely better than "Antidote". I have no idea how "Antidote" is such a popular single. More cringeworthy lines than "Piss on Your Grave".
Rodeo is genuinely ahead of its time, but still needs a lot of work. I hope Travis devolps more as a muscian. hes an artist for sure, no wonder Kanye signed him, he saw the creativity for sure, but he does need to devolp his song structure and lyricism and flow. more so song structure because soemtimes i feel like his flow really works for most of his songs, but then it does get a little too repetitive sometimes. other than that, I genuinely really like his work
Akir Stuart Yeah, though I thought Birds was decent for what it was, but overall a disappointment compared to Rodeo. I really hope Travi$ can top it with Astroworld or at least match it. If not though, I'll still be a fan.
You give Owl pharaoh 5/10 cmon bro , quintana ,16 chaples ,up town ,upper echelon, bandz, bad mood/shit on you , owl pharaoh is 10/10 just like all of his projects
Earl Sweatshirt ik owl pharaoh had some great songs but for me It didn't feel like it was that great but overall it shaped him into a musical powerhouse
Oh My Dis Side especially Oh My part is everything a rapper wishes his song to be... from a club banger to adrenaline booster to a late night vibe ting, Oh My Dis Side will actually be (imho) Travis’s best song to date

Man, there are always seven different people with Madvillain icons in these comment sections. I think it's cool, but it's something I felt the need to point out.
Like yeah that astroworld disaster is tragic, but it didn't change my opinion and view on Travis' old stuff Rodeo is still a great body of work for me and still has one of the best-produced trap music I have ever heard

@ all all all the trill negus keep me 'float
Garden Of Eden only thrill negus I know
Franklin Clinton naw you smoking weed or sm night crawler, 90210, piss on your grave and a few more dude
90210 is the best song on this album, hands down.
Travis said that was his favorite song on it too
Nick Mason nah
Apple pie is
Maria I'm drunk
I can tell
the transition in 90210 is fantastic
Assss
Nah it could've been so much better
The transition itself is a little clunky, but the second beat is phenomenal
It's abrupt. Both melodies are good but it happens too quickly for someone who's perfectly willing to make 3500 twice as long as it needs to be
The 2nd half was perfect
Apple pie is the most underrated track
Michael Ford so true
It is definitely one of the better tracks on the album but I think impossible is definitely the most underrated
Impossible and Apple pie**
yes dude, i love the piano. the vocal energy is also pretty good/balanced too and in all the parts when he uses autotune it sounds so perfectly subtle. it's overall a vibe and on a certain level i find the song to be relatable

A villain in your land in his land a ruler...
+C Jones lol
ಠ_ಠ
what does fantano have to do with this?
+Soviet Potato that past two travis scott records he gave 3/10. Im sure many people thought he was about to rant on this guy but he actually liked it
Production wise I think this album is ambitious af. Travis isn't the best lyricist but he made a compelling album
Listen to him freestyle and I await this comments correction
@@tariqtelesford9045 travis’ lyricism is below average he’s not awful but he has nothing on your average golden age rapper
@@Alex-kr3ne Just like Kanye, but their vision, production and literally everything else is top notch and covers it up.
@@Alex-kr3ne I wouldn't say below
@@neveahphillips5610 Kanye has a lot of songs with amazing lyricism
I think in an era full of trap bangers we have yet to hear something like Rodeo to this day imo
it was too good, almost like it was a fluke
@@SPACEDOUT19It would be a fluke if Travis dropped off immediately after this. Or an “Illmatic” type of situation where it’s the only album one could name
@@owlcircus6811yea but if rodeo is still his best album.
@@ezpznoob8092yeah but astroworld and utopia were both amazing and both came close
@@SPACEDOUT19wasn’t a fluke, it’s just his best. astroworld and utopia slap too
I'll say it, I underestimated this album. Before, I thought trap music was a waste of time. I only decided to buy this cause of the extra money I had so I risked it. And man, this is fucking amazing and I'm so glad I took that risk. 90210 is probably my favorite song right now. Travis Scott takes trap music to a whole new level and I'm definitely a new fan.
🚮🚮 trash if you ask me just like your life
Hell yeah man it's a great trap record and wayyy ahead of anything in its field.

This review should put an end to the "He hates all hip hop except for Kendrick" comments.
+B-Mint1994 Lol no. people still gonna be like "you gave this a 8 but MBDTF 6?"
cam on the beat LOL true. People should know that his scores are based on his own enjoyment. Not on how great the album is objectively.
And MF Doom
+B-Mint1994 death grips
+B-Mint1994 he gave drakes last album an 8 as well.
Rodeo was such a fantastic, unexpected album. I still think it's underrated. It's probably the only "trap rap" project worthy of being called an album.
Trap Lord tho
The Great Magnet the difference is... asap ferg is a rapper not autotune rapper
Dirty Sprite 2
i think both Migos's Culture and Ferg's Trap Lord are both worthy of being called albums
It's not even trap tbh. He's in a league w cudi and ye
2015 one of the Greatest YEAR FOR Rap Everyone Dropped Their Best Project
OddMaq For real bro it was amazing
Classic Yeah Man Tetsuo & Youth And AT LONG LAST ASAP , Compton
It just isn't taken as seriously anymore

To Pimp a Butterfly, I Don’t Like Shit I Don’t Go Outside, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, B4.DA.$$, Summertime ‘06, Rodeo, AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP, DS2, etc.
Lot of good music that year
Birds made me go back and appreciate Rodeo more
underatted comment
same
Krooshey birds wasn't even that bad
Krooshey same, birds was trash
littleboy129 that Danny brown album is trash. You just like whatever Fantano likes. Admit it.
Still an incredible album
7 years later…
@@Txfruit always will be.
And now utopia is releasing in 4 days. I actually cant wait
@@Txfruithow’d you like it?
@@Meliderious best album of 2023 at least in hip hop. Til further notice, thank god, my eyes, skitzo, hyaena and telekinesis still in regular rotation
T.I. is the narrator of the story, that's what his vocals were for. He wanted it similar to Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon 1 like when Common did the same thing on some of those tracks. He's a huge Cudi fan so it made a lot of sense to have someone who gave him a record deal and put him on his label on here
Top 5 songs on rodeo:
1. Maria I’m drunk
2. Antidote
3. Nightcrawler
4. 90210
5. On my dis side
i see no lie
apple pie
ObsessionDesigns it’s good but not in the top 5
Wasted, impossible, pornography
I actually enjoyed "Pray 4 Love" a lot, its one of my favorite's tracks on the album.
Views From the Lean Cup i feel like the hook is kinda weak, but Travis's verses are waaay too good to not listen to the song
Abel is the only one saving the song, his last verse is what makes the whole track.
Matt A that last verse is fucking firede
The verses r good chorus does kinda sound like shit but the verses are amazing
@@TT460m Stfu 1rst verse is the best
90210 is superb
when the sample in "piss on your grave" is jimi hendrix's "Machine Gun"
I literally love you
This is my favorite rap album of all time. It’s a 10/10 on a bad day for me
Same
Maria I'm Drunk has some evil hypnosis going on in the opening, I feel like it'd make dogs bark. Its on the scary side.
Along with impossible and never catch me
Its suck a good song
I’ve been saying this. The piano in the background as well
I'm still mad kid cudi wasn't on this project
I think it's because he was super locked in on working on speeding bullet to heaven.
CLASSIC. 10 years from now you'll see.. YOU WILL ALL SEE!!!
You're not Rich Piana
You are right
Amazing album
Malibu’s Most Wanted it is definitely a classic
Malibu’s Most Wanted
This comment and the album aged well
90210 is one of my favorite songs ever. The entire albums has aged beautifully. OK Alright is also one of the most underrated on the record
fr and he called the beat switch bad but it's one of the best beat switches ive ever heard
@@spollorythe transition itself is bad yeah
this album is better than pablo,imo
The Life Of Pablo is already a classic... Rodeo is good and I liked it but TLOP is a whole new level
There's a link to download all 18 tracks
tidal is gonna stream it for a week, then we will be able to download it from apple music and spotify and etc. the album is leaked anyway, and it's weak imo
+Johnnyboy whole album is lit
Completely agree bro
The female vocals that were on 90210 were done by Kacy Hill.
Travis went from a 3/10 to an 8/10. That's a hopsin album to a RTJ album.
gabe And back to a 3 again :(
Don Lilo wait for astroworld
Well Cudi went 0-10
gabe well Cudi is his inspiration
3 -> 3 -> 8 -> 3 -> 6 -> 7
Fun fact, Piss on your Grave was meant for Yeezus 2, before it got transformed into TLOP and initially was a kanye solo project, before being given to Travis in exchange for Kanye getting FML on TLOP.
Both songs are 🔥🔥🔥
so FML was Travis song originally?
@@super6070yeah
I listened to 90210 for the first time and I just felt a tingle, obviously there was room for improvement but it just hits you in a weirld level
Mithun Nathan and you haven't listened to the full album?
I did but when I heard 90210 just stuck with me for some reason.
Mithun Nathan tf you mean room for improvement? Did he not rhyme enough for you?
I know this feel.
call me late in the game, but I just sat down and finally heard this whole album last night from start to finish and it's easily my favorite of 2016, even though it was a 2015 jump off. I'm glad I gave it a listen! Will continue to bump this the rest of the year! 9/10 from me.
dont sleep on days before rodeo too
Since I don't see it, SZA does the vocals on "Ok Alright".
This is one of Anthony's all-time best reviews, love this review and this album.
Mbdtf got a lower score than this. *Kanye Shrugg
+Steven Cerquera my beautiful dark twisted fantasy

FOR FUCK'S SAKE, HE DIDN'T LIKE MBDTF. Get over it.
+takeafuckingshower He actually liked it though. 6 means decent/mildly enjoyable.
jesus you kids are all such wannabe artistic tryhards. this is a very solid album, nuff said
People don't accept opinions...
I liked it. I just felt Dres record was way better musically
+Sean AYE YO I REALLY UFFS WITH YOU
+Kaz Namalas you're* fucking idiot
Sean so now you're the fucking idiot
Kacy Hill is the female vocalist.
Second verse of “I can tell” is the best Travis verse of all time
straight uuuuuup🎶
ong
who still heavily messes with this album?
🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
yessir
I listen to maria im drunk in the shower everyday
I can't believe it... Straighthony Uptano actually enjoyed a project from Patty LaFlame!!!
the justin beiber verse one of my fav parts of the record
Hold this L
nah it was dope
Noah Smith same and I don’t even like Justin just goes to show how artists can inspire one another
Noah Smith You can’t even listen to the song on Spotify and Soundcloud, and you can’t buy it as a single on iTunes.
unironically really fucking dope verse
I love the transition from the intro of Maria I’m drunk to the piano of the main part and how travs sustained voice crosses over into the dreamy, atmospheric piano melody
been my favourite since 2015!
how did he did it?? i still cant understand: its antlanta trap but its beautiful
well I mean he's from houston but OK
Oblivion9873 he mostly rely on atlanta trap
+Emmanuel Mondesir lmao the name of his album is Rodeo, he reps Texas
+Dead and Gone yhe name comes from his life that he describe as a circus with high and low,the name isnt really related to texas but wtv.
Atlanta trap is already beatiful
this is an album that's still ahead of its time, and very re-listenable. this guy's potential is too much.
1. Rodeo
2. Days Bofore Rodeo
3. Birds In The Trap
4. Owl Pharoah
where would you put astro world now?
Update?
Astroworld is 2, could become 1 with time
Carson Ramain NO way lmao, Astro world was good but has too many features. Rodeo has bangers with Travis’ old beautiful melodies and production.
To be honest birds might be better than days
It’s crazy reading these comments now only from four years ago. Travis has became an insanely large artist ever since then (not that he wasn’t already) and the amount of success he’s had since this album dropped, is unreal. This album is still one of the best modern rap albums created
Same it's nostalgic thinking that you've been listening to Rodeo for 5 years now.
8
Travis is dope but justin bieber ethered the whole album
+Renni shut......da fuck up
justin bieber was good , he never was that good as here
+Renni truuuuuuuuuuuu
You mean renegaded
+Renni You're only saying that cos you went into the track with preconceived notions about Bieber and you want to force yourself to not like it. Bieber did fine
Days Before Rodeo was fucking dope! This dude is bashing him like he's garbage af.
he gave it in a great rating
+Tispazy not to DBR
no he didn't the review was positive
guess i was thinking about owl pharaoh
+Nick Whittemore how? he gave dbr a 3.
Massively underrated album by "real" hip-hop heads. Mind blowing
and now it’s considered a classic by many
Rodeo>>>>>>Utopia
by a tiny bit
@@jonathanperalta8545nah by a decent amount. Utopia is still great though
idk both the same
Rodeo his best
easily
Pray 4 Love is my 2nd favorite track. The part where Travis & The Weeknd are singing at the same time is fucking GORGEOUS.
That was trash af
+Andy Coronado it was better than Wasted and Antidote. The two worst tracks.
+Kingsley de Jenga It is absolutely not better than Wasted. The message, the lyrics, even the beat and the features work into the track beautifully. I'd truly say "Piss on Your Grave" is the worst track on here, it's quite cringeworthy.
+Adrian Ramirez I appreciate the Pimp C sample, but "Wasted" is still an instant skip for me. But regardless, "Piss on Your Grave" is definitely better than "Antidote". I have no idea how "Antidote" is such a popular single. More cringeworthy lines than "Piss on Your Grave".
I JUST HIT A THREE-PEAT.
FUCKED THREE HOES I MET THIS WEEK.
what the fuck was he thinking?
this album so much better than birds
Rodeo is genuinely ahead of its time, but still needs a lot of work. I hope Travis devolps more as a muscian. hes an artist for sure, no wonder Kanye signed him, he saw the creativity for sure, but he does need to devolp his song structure and lyricism and flow. more so song structure because soemtimes i feel like his flow really works for most of his songs, but then it does get a little too repetitive sometimes. other than that, I genuinely really like his work
Akir Stuart Yeah, though I thought Birds was decent for what it was, but overall a disappointment compared to Rodeo. I really hope Travi$ can top it with Astroworld or at least match it. If not though, I'll still be a fan.
Travis can actually rap tho lol. Peep his xxl freestyle in the cypher
90210 is easily one of the best songs of the 2010's. Both songwriting wise and production wise
APPLE PIE
Gregory Shelton Best song
So underrated
Such a great track
Whow come only a few liked this song this good
THE RODEO IS THE ONLY ALBUM THAT I LISTEN TO WITHOUT SKIPPING ANY TRACK.
ConcertsLiveHD MBDTF
flying high and who will survive in America are skippable, but i can see why you would listen to them
Mac If you add like 2 seconds of crossfade they all become one amazing performance, I highly recommend.
I also don’t skip any songs on 808s & Heartbreak, or ye or life of Pablo or graduation or mbdtf..... I’m just a super yeezy fan I guess....
maguire bentz same 😭
rodeo 10/10
DBR 7/10
owl pharaoh 5/10
you can tell I'm a Travis Scott fam
+Vic van lier DBR 9/10, rodeo 8/10, owl pharaoh 4-5/10
+Vic van lier I CAN TELL BABY I CAN TEELLLLL
You give Owl pharaoh 5/10 cmon bro , quintana ,16 chaples ,up town ,upper echelon, bandz, bad mood/shit on you , owl pharaoh is 10/10 just like all of his projects
Earl Sweatshirt ik owl pharaoh had some great songs but for me It didn't feel like it was that great but overall it shaped him into a musical powerhouse
Earl Sweatshirt no
Oh My Dis Side especially Oh My part is everything a rapper wishes his song to be... from a club banger to adrenaline booster to a late night vibe ting, Oh My Dis Side will actually be (imho) Travis’s best song to date

Man, there are always seven different people with Madvillain icons in these comment sections. I think it's cool, but it's something I felt the need to point out.
+joel alicea Sandurz' junior no they're meme arrows my mom told me
foxking39 you're mom is a liar.
Kacy hill on 90210 vocals
Was expecting a 4/10 wtf famtano
Or maybe a light 3. I'm gladly surprised.
A Strong 2.6
+Chris Bongiovanni I DONT BELIVE THIS SHIT. only thing i belive he getting paid for reviews. ALL HE REACH IS LYRICS. now he dont care? okey fatasstano
i was expecting strong 3, to light 4 , cuz it's similar to rodeo. im GLADLY SURPRISED
ikr
Like yeah that astroworld disaster is tragic, but it didn't change my opinion and view on Travis' old stuff
Rodeo is still a great body of work for me and still has one of the best-produced trap music I have ever heard
