===================================

1.I listen the album once while coding or doing homework or something like that
2.if it impresses me I will probably give it a relisten paying more atention
3.if it's really really interesting I will relisten it writing thoughts as i go along

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

Am i going crazy or is the audio not synced with the video?

Why was 2019 an entire 7 years ago and why can’t I get off this macabre carousel. Please, someone, get me off.

@jacob8949

I completely understand the album better in the background part. I’ve felt that many times with albums

When i was first listened to tpab i was for some reason like. “J cole was prob right people were probably gassing this up” but those vocals and sounds were great

I watched your videos in 2011/2012 in college when I was thinking about doing reviews but was too scared to get started. This is still super helpful in 2026. a lot of ppl do this, but there isn't a lot of info re: how to approach it like a skill and how to become an effective listener. sooo if anyone has recommendations on tools about how to learn to identify/describe technical aspects of music such as production elements, song structure, esp for someone who loves music but doesn't have a musical background, that would be helpful too. Trying to not just say "oh this is fireee" lol i want to learn how to describe what i'm hearing better.

Can I get support.. I'm a new music artist😢

@THERGMMUSIC

i understand everybody consumes and appreciates art differently but i dont think rolling your tongue around and gnawing down on the vinyl to "taste the very essence of the songs" is how listening to music works

@OkmaybeOneSoVile

Oof, not the Daughters album on the thumbnail 😂 ik this is super old, I just thought it was funny

How I listen to an Album:
1. Listening it for the first time
2. Seeing theneedledrop review about it
3. Hating on Fantano if he doesn't like it, forgetting that it's just his opinioon
4. Regretting.

Why haven't you review any Dr Dog albums so far? Don't you find them may be even a little bit interesting?

@julbas2113

nice method man. You can explian it good and minimalistic. Nive man,

@pluralidad

Another band from South Africa that might tickle your fancy, a pair of Alt Rock girls "The SoapGirls", four albums in and touring like crazy, their music and message is another worth a listen

@MrEmptyhead
@

Thank you souch Reviewthony!!
Now I can pretend I'm listen to music and get away with it!

@HottersIsNotBrand
@

If you enjoy well sequences albums that flow well and tell a story I would highly recommend "Blur" by "Neptunia". It’s a synthetic, multi genre, and experimental exploration into themes of relationships, spirituality, and transformation makes me dance, feel, and think.

Why test my pause game for essentially nothing

@ISHEJAY

Well no wonder welcome to the madhouse got a 0, you were listening to it on shuffle bass boosted with max reverb

@NaolMidOriginal

You’ve done Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo but how come you have never done Christina Aguilera call Jennifer page or Demi Lovato?

@RosemaryGabard

I think he does it with his ears but I know a guy who has implants

Dear anthony,

Thank you for telling me how to enjoy music. I realized that I was enjoying it the wrong way.

@fatteststevenson
@

I think Anthony just skims through all of the songs and makes the worst opinion he can

If this was called "How I Listen to a Good Pimp Mad Butterflies," then you would've given it a 10.

@matthiasgeeroms2509

@chainsawcat_616
@

imagine doing such a process then giving a 0 to that album

@davallinicola4594
@

I used to think that fantano would rate an album based on if its like TPAB or not💀

@Spider_Apologist
@

1. Listen to album form independent thoughts
2. Hear people talk about how good/bad it it’s.
3. Listen to it again
4. Give same opinion slightly different.

@Tigerz58_TV
@

ah shit i thought running an album front to back then going back and listening to the standout songs was enough

@tatacraft791
@

thank you

@bratxcx365
@

oh man he has a red flannel on he hates this album

@BUMBUM292
@

I doubt he did this process with Vultures
