is this a response to the list or still bitter about BTW? :selena:

While I do disagree a lot with Anthony's taste, I still find his reviews really entertaining. He shat on BTW, Golden Hour, pre-NFR Lana, Bleachers, and more but I still stan :whitney: I think if you can get past the fact that often his opinions are very polarising he can still be entertaining.

And he hates ASIB. I remember when he reviewed Shallow and literally gave a summary of the ASIB movie trailer and said the song was lazy and over the top.

That said he did put Hobo Johnson in there so can somebody fire this man already? I know he's self-employed but can someone fire him?

When he apologizes for that Born This Way review I’ll read his list :huntyga: He can kiss ass all he wants but let’s not pretend he’s not known for not taking female artists like Gaga and Lana seriously.

Excuse you he publicly stans Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Carly Rae Jepsen, and more. He didn’t like their albums and that’s his own opinion which we should be able to respect... anyways NFR was one of his favourite albums of the year. He’s dropping an albums list soon and I expect it’ll be in top 5

He’s still trash for all the things he’s said about so many artists he suddenly stans now, again what he did to Gaga and BTW was extremely unprofessional of him. If he wants to be treated as a well critic he should address his mistakes in the past.

And to add to Witch’s spot on post, him not giving it a regular Fantano review, even if he gave it a zero, is the main problem here. 
 

I watch fantano on the regular so I don’t need melon head stans getting uppity about respecting his opinions when he went out of his way to trash that record with its own video but does a regular review for Nostalgia Critics The Wall and gives 15 minutes to Jaden Smith.

He did somewhere. I remember him saying that that wasn’t fair of him to do or something along those lines.

That's my main gripe with Fantano, tbh. We share a lot of opinions music-wise and I can respect his knowledge on the industry etc but when he doesn't like an artist as a person (and I'm not talking about that artist being problematic, just them not personally pleasing him) he seems to go out of his way to say negative things about said artists and it's like how come you can be imparcial with everybody except these people you're clearly annoyed by?

And yes he has gotten more mature over the years and righted some wrongs along the way but he still focuses on some clearly biased stuff when criticizing the MUSIC of certain people (e.g. Gaga or, to a certain degree, Swift) and makes a point to scrutinize their personalities and personal lives and makes no effort to review their music with the same in-depth input as people he either likes or is neutral about and that's not very professional in my eyes.

It's less about him liking something or not and more about the fact that he can be extremely disrespectful, petty and inconsistent in his approach to reviews and while it can be entertaining to some it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
