@@odinaksnes4950 It’s a rip off but there’s about a dozen worse albums compared to it. Just being a rip off alone doesn’t make it a worst album of the year contender

Hell yeah! It isn’t a “worst albums of the year” video without seeing fan-favorites AJR. Glad to see them so consistent in these turbulent and chaotic times!
AJR is party music for white suburban 30somethings who still run gimmick Instagram accounts for their pets & call the police on someone unfamiliar walking down their cul-de-sac
calling Alone at Prom and After Hours copies of each other might be the most tone def take I've ever seen from Fantano... and I watched him give Swimming a 3. First time I've ever thought Fantano was reacting to the artist specifically over the music
I love how triggered Tory Lanez fans get. Any criticism whatsoever and they start screeching and making up conspiracy theories. They can’t imagine the idea of someone disliking him, so there has to be some underlying motive or bias.
@@BigOwl51cuz anyone who even has any sense of rational thought will tell you that objectively speaking alone at prom is a top tier album of that year. It's one thing to say you don't enjoy it but to say it's one of the worst albums of the years is just blatantly false especially when you have such shit reasoning like fantano
@@ace2311 Nah Alone at Prom was garbage. His whole career is just biting whatever The Weeknd is doing, and hopefully he wont have one left by the time he gets out of prison 😘
@@yangxiaolong1862 not only are these some pisspoor takes, the glazing is ridiculous. The weeknd is the not the originator. He didn't create the 80s and if we compare after-hours and alone at prom, alone at prom is a better representation of the 80s. There's a reason he's been in the game for a while and has hits to back it up but clearly all that meat riding has made you delusional💀
the weeknd started incorporating the 80s sound and dude just completely disregarded the album because tory jumped on the wave. doesn’t matter if it was inspired by the weeknd’s artistic choices or not, album was fire, one of the best i’ve heard in a long time any genre tbh
If he viewed it anywhere near how I did, which is that it was so bland, so boring and so nothing that I forgot Ed even released an album this year, then it may explain why it didn't take a spot.
it wasnt necessarily BAD, just extraordinarily boring and generic and unrisky, so maybe thats the reason why? i agree its top 10 worst albums of 2021 tho
Alone at Prom doesn’t deserve to be here. Sure it is capitalizing on a sound that is popular right now, but Tory had been planning this record since before the pandemic (and after hours). I think it’s a decent record at the very least in my opinion.
Thank you for including Sia! She worked real hard to be terrible and should have gotten more backlash 💕 Edit: Just a heads up, some of the comments are ableist, so I'm sorry if you come across those
Okay, so the Tones and I album "Welcome To The Madhouse" sucks. Just a terrible, terrible album. Got it. Hmm. But what about the deluxe edition, Anthony? Because it's out there. And it's waiting for you.
I want him to make a huge comeback along with his buddy Lil Uzi Vert. We need two collabing like kids see Ghosts was but two artists that put their strengths together.
He didn't invent the 80s style but he did it tastefully and well. Tory lanez did it with worse production, significantly worse singing, and it barley even sounds 80s. He wouldn't have made this album if AH didnt blow up so much.
@@taaaybands4375 I did and the production was bland, the mixing was muddy garbage, and the singing was horrible. I listened to the entire album 4 times and it sucked. If you liked it that's fine, but when someone says something about an album that you disagree with and the only thing you can respond with is "bro you probably didn't even listen to the album" you are adding nothing to the conversation. Tory fans keep dismissing any and all criticism like this and its honestly making you more annoying than carti fans now.
@@horseglue9367 look, I only got accuqainted with Tory via the hate to that album and on its' own I think it's not that bad. I can agree it to some extend sounds like an 80s album in a vacuum, having a lack of personality, but many tracks do good vibe. I found singing alright, even a bit unusual, not even close to The Weeknd's of course, but still giving some vocal range, like in The Colour Violet. Didn't find anything annoying or unlistenable. Once again, if someone listens to synthwave or disco on a daily basis it would be derivative and boring but as a random listener I think it's fine.
@@j-s-s-e music shouldn’t force you to pay attention to a storyline that you need to follow outside of music to be good. I used to absolutely love twenty one pilots and still love trench. But scaled and icy gotta be bottom 2 for their worst albums.
@@trapadvisor i can't tell if this is meant to be sarcastic but if not, oh boy (I mean because literally every zelda fan ever on the internet has at some point asked someone how far they are into the game, delcared it the best game ever, and let everyone know how many hours they've spent playing it. It's become a meme at this point)
Got curious and listened to “Lonely” by Tones and I and why does it sound like a song someone would sing as an original in America’s Got Talent and everyone would give a standing ovation after? Like especially after they learn about the singer’s past or situation lmao. The thought scares me lol.
Because when Aussies sell out to break in to the US it's usually just what Americans are doing already just kinda boring. King Gizz, Tame Impala, they got large overseas audiences by doing what they do and not trying to change it up for commercial purposes
The thought that someone can view a piece of music this subjectively without seeing that it affects people in a positive way scares me way more. Not saying that Tone and I is my absolute cup of tea but i can at least see a positive piece of music when I see one.
I am usually a fan of Fantano but his review of Alone at Prom is absolute trash. That was just a bunch of negative opinions with no actual breakdown or decent reasoning to support his criticism. Saying it sounds like the Weeknd just seems like a cop out and just a casual and lazy narrative.
11:42 “It sounds like a sheep. It sounds like a goat.” It’s confirmed, guys. The Tones and I, the greatest of all time. I don’t know why it took him this long to realize and accept it. He could’ve outright said it. Instead, he masked it and sent a subliminal message. Good one, Anthony.
While not quite as vicious as this takedown of Tones and I, his review of Eminem's "Revival" is hilarious throughout. He HATES the record and mocks it with every breath, it's great.

I honestly don’t think he even listened to alone at prom because besides them both being 80s inspired album’s they’re vastly different. The weekends production is way more modern with an all most angelic floating quality to it where lanez is more raw 80s synth pop with some modern r&b elements. The best way I see it is that AAP is an 80s flavored soda vs After Hours which is an 80s flavored la croix.
I agree. His bias against tory is so painfully obvious it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t listen to it. I thought AAP was pretty good and i’m far from a Tory Lanez fan
@@Sid-cf2ni he doesn't often listen to full albums on stream, also there's no way to watch the vod since they are always deleted because he can't leave vods of livestreams with copyrighted music up
Idk if I'd say it's worst thing I've heard but it might be the most creatively bankrupt thing I've heard. Like he's not doing anything with the sound, he's got no personality and his voice is just a shitty Weeknd/MJ impression
Mete Yigit I personally did not really care for any of the songs besides the first song, enchanted waterfall. It just feels super angelic and the singing between the 2 different pitches of his voices harmonize really well. That song alone feels like a 10 to me but he rest of the album I would give like a 3-4 on average.
Speaking of Sia her old Christmas album is back in rotation on the radio at the grocery store I work at and god I didn't know she's been this bad for this long
I can 100% relate to this right down to the grocery store. I feel the same pain, brother. And during the chorus of Candy Cane Lane, it sounds like Sia's singing, "There's monsters waiting for you... there's monsters waiting for you..." and that added dose of creepiness doesn't help things.
Yeah I couldn't disagree more with melon about her voice. I can't stand Sia's vocals. If she's not hitting a shrill note, she's singing in an intolerable baby voice and it stirs up a rage in my soul.
"After shooting a women in the foot, I'm not surprised he's alone at prom, I'd be surprised if he isn't alone in general". Jesus melon that was brutal.
You do realize he didn’t shoot her? It’s been a year and half, still no conviction and the bullets in her feet are missing from the hospital. Y’all too quick to judge
I heard that Tones and I rejected singing on a really famous LA producer’s song because she claims that “in Australia we make our own beats and we’re proud of that” 💀💀💀

@@20jumps Their stuff is insanely better than Justin Bieber's crap with a lot of passion put into every album with quirky and unique themes. I don’t get the hate. They like to have fun and it shows.
@@tyunpeters3170 to be fair, it sounds like they are trying and experimenting and having fun with the music, still terrible though, at least Justin Bieber had that song with giveon and Daniel Caesar.
It was alright I agree especially after the shit storm that was Daystar. But hey if y'all Tory Lanez fans good for you. I'm over what happened with him and Megan (see that... That's me not assuming anything) as long as they just continue going on their own grinds.
You can see that his right cheek is noticeably more red at 3:21, as if he scratched it to the point of opening a wound. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that revisiting the new Coldplay album drove Anthony to self-harm, leaving a trail of bloodcrumbs for us to follow into his twisted mental hellscape. It's a cry for help. Welcome to the madhouse, indeed...
As much as the record probably deserves it, it'd be sad if the number one came out so early. I'm oddly curious to find out what could be worse than it, and I'm hoping Anthony will find something in the years to come. Don't know if that makes me a sadist, though.
"It also shows a general lack of passion and he needs to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, bunny hopping, spray control and getting a kill." Damn Tano didn't know biebs was a silver man.
it really sadens me that he thinks alone at prom was a 'bad' album.. if we take away from the fact that many people still think that he is 'copying' the weeknd.. you can actually begin to appreciate how good of an album it is and how talented tory lanez actually is. today's music industry is so judgemental towards you is copying others music.. an artist can only make so much music that sounds original.. every song in the world has inspiration from another artist.. alone at prom, when taken into consideration how well he formed the 80s look and vibe is actually an amazing album
I feel that #2 spot. I loved the raw emotion and vocals of Fall if Hobo Johnson, combined with the really professional sounding production and instrumentals, it was one of my favorite albums of that year. I was so excited for Revenge of Hobo Johnson that its awfulness was like a slap in the face. And then just a few weeks later, HJ Alienates his fanbase was like being hit by a truck. I’m not sure what his marketing strategy was with this whole debacle but deep down I hope it’s all a setup for a triumphant return in the future with some more actual good music
@@corg_9939 that’s what still gives me hope that the whole thing was just a sort of tongue in cheek poorly planned marketing scheme and the next album will actually be epic. The Comeback of Hobo Johnson
I didn't hear Tori's album but I am so sick of hearing people claimed that 80s retro albums are automatically ripping off After Hours. Things can sound alike!!!!!!
Of course The Weeknd didn't make the 80s sounds, but After Hours very much made it's own tasteful modern twist vocally and production wise where Tory blatantly ripped off, especially The Weeknd's vocal style, and a lot of the songs are extremely reminiscent to what The Weeknd has been doing, like ballad of a badman which sounds eerely similar to blinding lights. I understand your viewpoint that just because some music takes inspiration from something doesn't automatically mean it should be brushed away, but what Anthony was arguing that I wholeheartedly agree with is that Tory served absolutely nothing in terms of personality or flavourfulness and didn't serve justice to the sound.
Thank God CLB didn't make it on this list. Finally melon realized the error in his ways and the masterpiece, girls want girls, should be reason enough to be put on the best albums of the year list.
CLB isn’t a terrible album but girls want girls is so far from a masterpiece and definitely isn’t the best album of the year when you have donda and call me if you get lost to compete with
CezaMVO I think it’s Kanye stans tryna to sabotage the album they even trying to claim they’re drake fans but they’re still disappointed clb is a masterpiece
would love to mention the new yes record; there was no point in them releasing another album at this point over 50 years into their career and there's absolutely nothing new or interesting about it, and the production isn't great either. honestly the worst the band has ever sounded and i hope this is a sign for them to put an end to their already incredible and successful careers.
yeah, when i saw “the ice bridge” come out, i took a deep breath, put it on, and immediately started laughing hysterically after hearing that awful “le epic” synth that opened the song. i made a playlist called “this shit sucks” and only put that track on there. it was so overwhelmingly bad in a way i didn’t think was possible. they really are continuing just to continue and they sound literally awful. Jon Anderson has been replaced by a guy with a miraculously similar name and voice as if no one would notice the change and he looks like he is Jesus Christ’s forgotten and much less impressive little brother. the new bass player who i can’t even name sounds so out of place like he’s spent his entire life learning how to chug away without listening to a single bass line from anyone else ever. you can hear Alan White’s back split in half just a little bit more every time his drum stick hits something, praying someone will sub in for him like they do at their concerts now. geoff downes sounds like he is trying to parody his old band Asia with the absolute corniest keys sounds possible, and it makes you wonder why anyone ever bullied Rick Wakeman for wanting to be keyboard orchestra god. and Steve Howe sounds like he is just praying he survives til the end of the song without a finger snapping off. this band should have quite after Chris died, but god damn the guy said something like “the band should continue on forever like a symphony orchestra” before he died, which is probably the stupidest thing anyone has ever said, because clearly it’s not working out already and Steve Howe hasn’t even left yet. still, no one in the band is even an original member anymore. Steve Howe isn’t even one, the band started in 1968 and he joined in 1970 on like the third yes album. they should have just called it quits years back before they became the example of how aging will astronomically make your ability to make music well impossible. instead they are gonna keep going until they all die i guess, i don’t even know. honestly incredibly disappointing. could you tell that yes was at one point one of my favorite bands? i was a bit mean my bad.
I know it was released in 2020, but Deep Purple's newest record feels like the exact same thing to me. I just don't understand why they thought releasing it was a good idea.
Claiming that Tones And I pulls from Lady Gaga is an insult to Lady Gaga lmao. The place Tones And I really pulls from, is the litter box that her cat pisses, shits, and maybe even pukes in (assuming she even has a cat that hasn't died from listening to her terrible music). Hopefully she gets the message that she has to stop making music, because if she somehow poops out another hit song, despite the deserved hatred for her music from just about everyone, I'm never touching the radio ever again.
Big agree. I'm no audio expert but I perceived the compressed sound to be an intentional, "vintagey" vegas kind of vibe? I can see not liking it but it doesn't seem like a mistake
Thank you! We need more people to point out how a group of three people somehow can't figure out original ideas and instead decide to rip off Tyler Joseph.
I feel like those with specific sounds tackle other genre takes better because it makes a familiar noise for me like with Death Grips or Gorillaz (I'm just going with what's on my mind at the moment I know there are other examples y'all might relate to more). If Tory can do some other sounds I'd definitely commend him for that (not a huge fan of him but some of his early work was fucking ugh to me... Alone at Prom is a step up for sure)
8:21 "with a record of songs that swears it's for adults but sounds like it's for five years old" that honestly kinda sums up the whole discography of AJR very well
In some ways, I honestly don't think that's a bad thing because you can read the lyrics, understand the meaning, and use it as a jumping point to find other artists with songs that have deeper meaning. It's honestly genius.
the battle at gardens gate is honestly my fav album of the year! & it won’t always be like this by Inhaler. gvf is so inspiring & their music just transports me to a different world, just like the boys i don’t care what anyone else thinks. music is subjective but i just don’t think it logically makes sense that this album is on this list lmao
@@NotJoshAntal the barbarians & heat above sound nothing alike & theres a lot more examples i could give but if you think they all sound the same that’s ur opinion! there was a lot of space in almost every song but it painted a sonic landscape and created its own universe
As an Australian, hearing you roasting the utter fuck out of Tones And I is absolutely satisfying. Also pleasantly surprised that Architects isn’t on this list considering you gave them a Not Good
AJR must have never crossed the pond thankfully because I legit have never heard of them, except from when Melon talks about them in videos Also Hobo being at number 2 is heartbreaking but yeah the drop in quality is unbelievably steep from the excellent Fall record. Revenge absolutely suuuuuucks
I will never forgive ajr for their Weezer All My Favorite Songs remix. I fucking love the original but for some reason my local alt rock station plays the AJR remix all the time but never played anything from OK Human.
Alone at prom is a banger whatever you say, everybody is hating on Tory because he's not a generic and commercialized artist like everyone the music industry pushes these days... If Weeknd was to make these songs he would have been praised and not hated.
he’s hated for exactly being that lol tory has always been a copy cat with lil originality but now y’all think he’s a hero because of the meg situation
Fantano saying Greta Van Fleet's new album is worse than Florida Georgia Line and Kacey Musgraves' new albums gives me a large amount of internal pain.
After allowing his fanbase to love women with two consecutive AOTYs and two 10s, he's allowing them to hate women again with the 0/WAOTY. Thank you Anthony, very cool.
I'm an English teacher in France and I'm going to give my students this video to study in order to improve their commentary vocabulary. As for my pick on the worst album, I don't usually buy bad albums but was VERY disappointed in the last Idles. Or I would pick any mainstream French rap my son is listening to.
@@alxhpage I think Nekfeu or Orelsan are a good place to start, as they're still quite understandable and their lyrics have meaning. My son would agree but he's also into other stuff like Niño, ZKR, PLK, Koba La D... Another very popular one is Jul but even my son can't stand him !
Phew, after that awful review he did of Golden Casket I'm glad he realises that it doesn't deserve worse album of the year, unlike Blink-182's nine which is not gonna age well
Continuing to post my picks for list week: 10. A Day To Remember - You're Welcome 9. Dax - Pain Paints Paintings 8. DJ Khaled - Khaled Khaled 7. Maroon 5 - Jordi 6. Hobo Johnson - The Revenge of Hobo Johnson 5. Florida Georgia Line - Life Rolls On 4. Sia - Music 3. Hobo Johnson - Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase 2. White Banshee - White 1. Tougher Than Nails - Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed
I'm surprised Tones and I is not on your list. I guess you haven't listened to it and if so, you've made a wise decision. I'm also really surprised Jordi by Maroon 5 was not on Fantano's list, but at the same time he only included it in a YUNO review and asked to pass when it came time to review it. Either he briefly listened to it or will just say it sucks without having listened to it, which I doubt.
YES that god damn tougher than nails record is not only worst record of the year but possibly the worst death metal album ive ever heard. I feel like it has to be ironic, like surely they had to have tried to make the most unlikeable album imaginable. Its message is hateful and not in a cool way at all, the mix is some of the worst ive ever heard, the vocals are absolutely grating, all the instruments are shittily programmed midi with no rhyme or reason, and every track is so mindnumbingly repetitive that it literally becomes an unlistenable drone
My list: 10. ZillaKami - Dog Boy 9. Kacey Musgraves - star-crossed 8. Sleater-Kinney - Path of Wellness 7. Cheekface - Emphatically No 6. AJR - OK Orchestra 5. Greta Van Fleet - TBAGG 4. Coldplay - Music of the Spheres 3. Drake - Certified Lover Boy 2. Limp Bizkit - Still Sucks 1. My Morning Jacket - S/T (just the most boring psych-jam rock fodder ever) Dishonorable Mentions: Young Thug - Punk Steven Wilson - The Future Bites Lorde - Solar Power Girl in Red - If I Could Make It Go Quiet Bent Knee - Frosting

To this day I’m confused on why Alone At Prom would get so much hate. I have grown up with music, have listened to countless of albums, and I’ve rarely ever listened to an album where I’ve genuinely enjoyed each tracks. At the end of the day I guess everyone has their own opinion but objectively, that album was pretty well made.
The fact that u called alone at prom a rip-off of after hours just proved that u either didn’t listen to it, or ur just blatantly hating out of pure bias. The albums have 2 different sounds, 2 different vibes and aesthetics. Just cuz they’re both 80s inspired does not make it a copy. That’s like saying if future decided to make a lyrical miracle spiritual album he would be ripping off Kendrick. We get it, u don’t like Tory, you’ve said it in the past and made it very clear, but if ur not going to give fair reviews then don’t review at all.
I sincerely don't understand how the Tones and I record is in any way popular. It's absolutely dreadful in every way. I don't know a single person who likes it at all.

I like Tory's 80's album. I get that he's not the first rapper to go with the 80's theme, but I thought it was fun 9/10 for me 🙂
yess i really like it 😭🙌🏼
Yh same but he has an agenda on him so when he said his name I wasn’t surprised
I agree
the weeknd started incorporating the 80s sound and dude just completely disregarded the album because tory jumped on the wave. doesn’t matter if it was inspired by the weeknd’s artistic choices or not, album was fire, one of the best i’ve heard in a long time any genre tbh
idk how that album got on the list. i fucking love the album 😭
Surprised that Ed didn't make the list. He deserves more credit
Same really
Yeah, replace Justice maybe? Justice wasn’t even that bad
True he definitely deserved a spot
If he viewed it anywhere near how I did, which is that it was so bland, so boring and so nothing that I forgot Ed even released an album this year, then it may explain why it didn't take a spot.
it wasnt necessarily BAD, just extraordinarily boring and generic and unrisky, so maybe thats the reason why? i agree its top 10 worst albums of 2021 tho

@@horseglue9367 look, I only got accuqainted with Tory via the hate to that album and on its' own I think it's not that bad.

I found singing alright, even a bit unusual, not even close to The Weeknd's of course, but still giving some vocal range, like in The Colour Violet. Didn't find anything annoying or unlistenable.

Because when Aussies sell out to break in to the US it's usually just what Americans are doing already just kinda boring. King Gizz, Tame Impala, they got large overseas audiences by doing what they do and not trying to change it up for commercial purposes

Why does this man hate Tory Lanez so much 😂
I honestly don’t think he even listened to alone at prom because besides them both being 80s inspired album’s they’re vastly different. The weekends production is way more modern with an all most angelic floating quality to it where lanez is more raw 80s synth pop with some modern r&b elements. The best way I see it is that AAP is an 80s flavored soda vs After Hours which is an 80s flavored la croix.
I agree. His bias against tory is so painfully obvious it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t listen to it. I thought AAP was pretty good and i’m far from a Tory Lanez fan
I’m not understanding the hate for AAP, it’s really not that bad.

Mete Yigit I personally did not really care for any of the songs besides the first song, enchanted waterfall. It just feels super angelic and the singing between the 2 different pitches of his voices harmonize really well. That song alone feels like a 10 to me but he rest of the album I would give like a 3-4 on average.
I actually enjoyed alone at prom a lot
Speaking of Sia her old Christmas album is back in rotation on the radio at the grocery store I work at and god I didn't know she's been this bad for this long

I can 100% relate to this right down to the grocery store. I feel the same pain, brother.
And during the chorus of Candy Cane Lane, it sounds like Sia's singing, "There's monsters waiting for you... there's monsters waiting for you..." and that added dose of creepiness doesn't help things.
Chandelier is a good song though.
Yeah I couldn't disagree more with melon about her voice. I can't stand Sia's vocals. If she's not hitting a shrill note, she's singing in an intolerable baby voice and it stirs up a rage in my soul.

would love to mention the new yes record; there was no point in them releasing another album at this point over 50 years into their career and there's absolutely nothing new or interesting about it, and the production isn't great either. honestly the worst the band has ever sounded and i hope this is a sign for them to put an end to their already incredible and successful careers.
This really isn't about grandpa bands.
yeah, when i saw “the ice bridge” come out, i took a deep breath, put it on, and immediately started laughing hysterically after hearing that awful “le epic” synth that opened the song. i made a playlist called “this shit sucks” and only put that track on there. it was so overwhelmingly bad in a way i didn’t think was possible. they really are continuing just to continue and they sound literally awful. Jon Anderson has been replaced by a guy with a miraculously similar name and voice as if no one would notice the change and he looks like he is Jesus Christ’s forgotten and much less impressive little brother. the new bass player who i can’t even name sounds so out of place like he’s spent his entire life learning how to chug away without listening to a single bass line from anyone else ever. you can hear Alan White’s back split in half just a little bit more every time his drum stick hits something, praying someone will sub in for him like they do at their concerts now. geoff downes sounds like he is trying to parody his old band Asia with the absolute corniest keys sounds possible, and it makes you wonder why anyone ever bullied Rick Wakeman for wanting to be keyboard orchestra god. and Steve Howe sounds like he is just praying he survives til the end of the song without a finger snapping off. this band should have quite after Chris died, but god damn the guy said something like “the band should continue on forever like a symphony orchestra” before he died, which is probably the stupidest thing anyone has ever said, because clearly it’s not working out already and Steve Howe hasn’t even left yet. still, no one in the band is even an original member anymore. Steve Howe isn’t even one, the band started in 1968 and he joined in 1970 on like the third yes album. they should have just called it quits years back before they became the example of how aging will astronomically make your ability to make music well impossible. instead they are gonna keep going until they all die i guess, i don’t even know. honestly incredibly disappointing.

8:21 "with a record of songs that swears it's for adults but sounds like it's for five years old" that honestly kinda sums up the whole discography of AJR very well

he also thinks that "stardust chords" (the best song on the album), is the worst...so damn off base about all of it.
@Bloom Tik Bloom still one of the most renowned critics
After allowing his fanbase to love women with two consecutive AOTYs and two 10s, he's allowing them to hate women again with the 0/WAOTY. Thank you Anthony, very cool.
It is very sexist to include women in this video. Anthony needs to apologise.
Guess I’m in the 2% that actually liked Kacey Musgraves’ Star-Crossed
me too
i think it’s her best album… i don’t know what Anthony is talking about
"❌ *(Dont read my name)* ❌" u
It was fine.
@@dontreadmypicture8003 that wasnt worth it
I'm an English teacher in France and I'm going to give my students this video to study in order to improve their commentary vocabulary.
As for my pick on the worst album, I don't usually buy bad albums but was VERY disappointed in the last Idles. Or I would pick any mainstream French rap my son is listening to.
What are the French rappers that your son likes? Trying to learn les argots and hopefully practice my listening from the french hip-hop world.
@@alxhpage I think Nekfeu or Orelsan are a good place to start, as they're still quite understandable and their lyrics have meaning. My son would agree but he's also into other stuff like Niño, ZKR, PLK, Koba La D... Another very popular one is Jul but even my son can't stand him !
It’s fun being Australian and being forced to listen to Tones and I. National pride has really made people blind to this one!
Phew, after that awful review he did of Golden Casket I'm glad he realises that it doesn't deserve worse album of the year, unlike Blink-182's nine which is not gonna age well
loved golden casket and was relieved to see it wasn't on here.
Golden Casket is actually my fave album of the year. It's not quite amazing or anything, but not a lot of good music came out this year.
Same that album grew on me quickly
@@frankrogers2968 “but not a lot of good music came out this year” Are you alright? That’s completely mad. Did you only listen to like 2 albums?
@@seventongues it was better than Strangers to Ourselves. It's not a 10/10 album, but it doesn't deserve the hate it's given.
Continuing to post my picks for list week:
10. A Day To Remember - You're Welcome
9. Dax - Pain Paints Paintings
8. DJ Khaled - Khaled Khaled
7. Maroon 5 - Jordi
6. Hobo Johnson - The Revenge of Hobo Johnson
5. Florida Georgia Line - Life Rolls On
4. Sia - Music
3. Hobo Johnson - Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase
2. White Banshee - White
1. Tougher Than Nails - Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed
Good list.
Pain Paints Paintings and Hobo Johnson's albums rule!
I'm surprised Tones and I is not on your list. I guess you haven't listened to it and if so, you've made a wise decision. I'm also really surprised Jordi by Maroon 5 was not on Fantano's list, but at the same time he only included it in a YUNO review and asked to pass when it came time to review it. Either he briefly listened to it or will just say it sucks without having listened to it, which I doubt.
yeah im happy for anyone who didnt listen to day to remember
YES that god damn tougher than nails record is not only worst record of the year but possibly the worst death metal album ive ever heard. I feel like it has to be ironic, like surely they had to have tried to make the most unlikeable album imaginable. Its message is hateful and not in a cool way at all, the mix is some of the worst ive ever heard, the vocals are absolutely grating, all the instruments are shittily programmed midi with no rhyme or reason, and every track is so mindnumbingly repetitive that it literally becomes an unlistenable drone
My list:
10. ZillaKami - Dog Boy
9. Kacey Musgraves - star-crossed
8. Sleater-Kinney - Path of Wellness
7. Cheekface - Emphatically No
6. AJR - OK Orchestra
5. Greta Van Fleet - TBAGG
4. Coldplay - Music of the Spheres
3. Drake - Certified Lover Boy
2. Limp Bizkit - Still Sucks
1. My Morning Jacket - S/T (just the most boring psych-jam rock fodder ever)
Dishonorable Mentions:
Young Thug - Punk
Steven Wilson - The Future Bites
Lorde - Solar Power
Girl in Red - If I Could Make It Go Quiet
Bent Knee - Frosting
Bieber was close to having the worst MLK inclusion this yeart, but also remember that Fortnite added him into the game and let you emote on him
Hearing ‘Dance Monkey’ at work all the time is enough to get me feeling positively *_homicidal_* and customers are *_extremely_* lucky I’m as in control of my mental faculties as I am.
Tory lanez ?! Theressss no fucking way !! This was one of my top 10 favorite albums this year
i had the privilege of listening to Lil Huddy's new album this year and, holy shit, THAT is an album that deserves to be on this list
weirdly happy to see Twenty One Pilots NOT here just because it just makes me sad. The record was pretty mediocre but we know they can do so much better. Sad to see Coldplay here but they totally deserve to, that album really was ass.
As someone who doesn’t hate all of AJRs music I can agree that OK orchestra was pretty bad. There were two pretty good songs on it tho
@@elephantcubed4133 yes bro Christmas in June is a spectacular song. I also like way less sad but the two I was talking about was Christmas in June and the trick
5:00 is #5 with Greta Van Fleet because Tony Fantano is still under the false impression that they're still trying to take from Led Zeppelin
Basically he will never review their music in good faith.
L + permanently wrong
How is Alone at Prom one of the worst albums 😭
because it is bad
If Tory Lanez didn’t shoot Megan then it wouldn’t be on the list
@@dubs6847 There was no gun residue found on Tory who was arrested wearing swim trunks…. Can’t let off a shot and not have gun residue on you! There was gun residue found on her best friend tho🤷🏽♂️
@@dylanjm6201 you have horrible taste in music then
@@bRenegadez what about me disliking a specific album constitutes bad taste?
After Hours and Alone at Prom sound nothing alike in the slightest. After hours doesnt even give an 80s vibe in the slightest
Here i am, waiting for Fear Inoculum to be on the list, and realizing half way through that album came out in 2019...fucking COVID
To this day I’m confused on why Alone At Prom would get so much hate. I have grown up with music, have listened to countless of albums, and I’ve rarely ever listened to an album where I’ve genuinely enjoyed each tracks. At the end of the day I guess everyone has their own opinion but objectively, that album was pretty well made.
The fact that u called alone at prom a rip-off of after hours just proved that u either didn’t listen to it, or ur just blatantly hating out of pure bias. The albums have 2 different sounds, 2 different vibes and aesthetics. Just cuz they’re both 80s inspired does not make it a copy. That’s like saying if future decided to make a lyrical miracle spiritual album he would be ripping off Kendrick. We get it, u don’t like Tory, you’ve said it in the past and made it very clear, but if ur not going to give fair reviews then don’t review at all.
"WWWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH"
This clown is being paid by Roc nation to smear him
@@MakaveliG17C My dude I get your convictions but trust me dude calm down with the comments a bit 👍🏾
@@MakaveliG17C I see no other explanation. Especially with all the evidence that’s come out recently proving he’s innocent
@@Gurrr.201 he's hated Tory before the controversy
He just doesn't like him dude
I wonder when you are gonna review the older Coldplay albums. That stuff is so much better than MOTS.
I sincerely don't understand how the Tones and I record is in any way popular. It's absolutely dreadful in every way. I don't know a single person who likes it at all.
My 5 and 6 year old niece and nephew love Tones and I. I learned that recently when they insisted I play "Dance Monkey" on repeat 5 times, and then Crazy Frog songs.
@@kidamnesiak1 I know you're talking about your niece and nephew, but shit like that is one of, like, fifty reasons why I'm never having kids. You'll constantly be forced to listen to awful, awful music.
@@kidamnesiak1 "Dance Monkey on repeat 5 times"
My condolences
@@kidamnesiak1 how did u not whack them??
40 year old aussie mums love this shit
Star-Crossed was nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be but it is her worst by a big margin.
I still love it tho 🤷
Im very confused… alone at prom is in your top 10 worst albums of 2021 but Sematary album is in your top 50 albums of 2021??? Please make it make sense 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
bro Tory Lanez's album is a MASTERPIECE!!! No Cap
