Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
I love that line from “free at last:” “just cause you’re sad again it doesn’t make you special at all.”
The whole song and text is just so great...it's one of my few comfort songs I listen to when I need to calm down
“‘have you been drinking?’ Of course I have.”
just cuz ur sad again it doesn't make u slecjal
Does melon exclusively like bands w stefans on vocals and zachs on drums?
"Stefan's screaming and Zacks drumming"
You sure you're talking about the right group?
lmao
pup grips
? I don't get the joke?
@@sarang8585 OH!! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
@@Miles_Phantasmagoria I'm late but in the band Death grips the vocalist is also named Stefan and the drummer Zach
Maybe this is me recovering from my depression, but this is one of the best albums I've heard all year...and I mostly listen to hip-hop.
I'm glad to hear that you are recovering from depression!!! I hope one day i could get out of mine...
feel better, kings
Good music is good music, right 🤘
That's what music does to you man. Can bring you to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
Y'all feeling better?
Yessss. We still need justice for The Dream Is Over tho. That was banger after banger after banger
Not a single bad track on that album 🙌
Facts
Agreed
They have yet to release a song I don't like. Front to back, every album.
Personally I hated Pine Point but like other than that it was a great album. I think I might like Morbid Stuff more though? Not sure it’s too new to tell
When I heard him say "Stefan's vocals" and "Zack's drums" I immediately thought this band was made of Death Grips members.
The Chad PUP vs The Virgin Blink-182
You wish.
Both. Both is good.
I will be seeing you in your home in October 28th at 3:30 am
Blink-182 more like stink-182

ARE YOU REAL OR FAKE
@Astronomically Human THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE
Honestly this album is a hard fucking 10 for me. Every single song is either a bop, banger, a jam, or all 3 and it has just enough variety in vocal styles and instrumentation while keeping a lot of consistency and cohesiveness and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Just an all around solid album that I've been jamming a lot this past week.
Yes!!!! I wholly agree!!!!
Yes!!!! I wholly agree!!!!
I wasnt feeling this album at first, but the more I listen to it the more I love it. See You at Your Funeral is a banger.
Fave song tbh
That one really hit me, such a good song

So satisfying hearing a great review on an album you love
Saw ajj and pup at the Franklin music hall. Morbid stuff tour. Pups energy is amazing. wasn’t sold on them until I saw them live. Ajj was why I went, pup is what I remembered the most.

Six months later, this album has grown to a decent 10 for me. Idc. I love every track so much.

This hurt. I hate you but also applaud you.
Oh dear
Pup ponk.
You know what dude it makes me really happy when you like something and talk about an album that you enjoy, even if I don’t particularly enjoy it (not talking about this one, I love PUP), but it just brightens my day to hear you say positive shit about a piece of art that someone or multiple people worked so hard on.

I actually kinda prefer the rough and raw recording and style from the previous album but man this is a good one too.

damn 52 reviews I've listened to a total of two 2019 projects this is crazy
Bad hadbits
i agree, but man, i thought the dream is over is still their strongest album. You should review their a;lbum that dropped today!
You should review Pkew Pkew Pkews new album. Theyve done tons of shows with PUP and are easily on par with em. Optimal Lifestyles is awesome imo.
I just started listening to this band a couple days ago.I have listened to this particular album Morbid Stuff by PUP start to finish 5 times now and I must say it is a keeper for me.This definitely is an album going in my record collection very soon.I am feeling a light nine for Morbid Stuff by PUP, some may view this to high of a ranking for this record but that’s where I am at.I am also curious what you guys and gals think about the album please let me know.Have a great day fellow music lovers keep your records spinning and your favorite tunes rocking.🤘😈
PUP are jazz-trained musicians, and that education reflects in their music. Elements such as mixolydian scales and jazz-influenced rhythms for example in their music really set their sound apart from pop-punk bands that rely on powerchords for me, personally
this album goes hard and i’m all here for it. probably one of my favorite bands atm. my favorites are kids, closure, and see you at your funeral. on their previous album i think my favorites were pine point, dvp, and can’t win
Nice outfit Anthony, that New Years resolution of becoming a true hypebeast is really coming into fruition
He really just said The Story So Far is one of the most creative pop punk bands of the past decade after saying that their self-titled should “go away” and not even reviewing their newest album lmao
Yea, where did that come from? Ahaha TSSF's last record was definitely their most creative album yet so maybe he saw something in that record that he appreciates. Also He HATED the last Wonder Years record so I don't know about that one.
hollowhive melon hates pop punk. in his eyes even the most creative suck
It’s way out of season, but I’d love to hear what you think about The Unraveling of PUPtheband - for me it took everything that was good about Morbid Stuff and added some really cool twists, and even if I wasn’t in love with the kinda jokey 2nd and 3rd 4 chords tracks, it was such a relief to hear that they’re still improving after This Place Sucks Ass (which felt a lil formulaic imo)
Man... Melon I swear to god this are the reviews I sub for... Seriously I would have never hear this if it weren't for you. This album is just amazing! Thank you for this!
oh now you don't wear the flannel... I don't know what else expect from you...
the album is great tho 😁
“Stefan’s screams and Zach’s drumming”
Uhh. Anthony.
wait did he really just record a death grips review
I love this record and i don't even enjoy most pop-punk. This is what happens when you mix some of the punkier tracks by MCR with a bit of Descendents, Replacements and Fugazi. In a word, superb
Yeah I was kind of not excited for this album coming up to it and on first listen it didn't blow my mind but I absolutely agree that this was one of the best pop-punk albums of the decade. As musicians they've grown up and matured over the course of their career in a way that I feel like hardly any bands do, especially pop-punk bands. And their lyrics are whiny but also very self-aware and the album as a whole seems to be less about whining and more about that growing sense of self-awareness. Like knowing you need to improve yourself and realizing it's a process but still kind of not really being there yet (and as he directly acknowledges in no small part because Stefan has based his career as a lyricist off whining). I really like the mood of the album a lot.
Well said
I saw the description and it sounded like you were talking about a 10. Making the "best of the decade" assertion throws me off a lot.
Full blown meltdown has to be one of their best songs, feels like a punch to the face, which is how I would describe pups sound 😂
Full blown meltdown gives me chills everytime at the end of the track defiently their best album
I love PUP so much. Thanks for covering!!
It’s funny he doesn’t like city, that’s my favorite one
Spencer Rask same bro
I personally don't like city either tbh
He didn’t dislike it, he said it was ok
Me with every review
It's not bad, but it's probably the most basic song on the album.
DAMN - SPEEDING BULLET + REVIVAL - MBDTF + TPAB - SWIMMING - KIDS SEE GHOSTS + TA13OO = this review
7 - 0 + 2 - 6 + 10 + 3 - 10 + 8 = 14?
SMOOTH1E no sir. 7 - 0 + 2 - 6 + 10 - 3 - 10 + 8 = yeah.
Big brain comment
Kids see ghosts + You wont get what you want + To Be Kind + To Pimp a Butterfly + The Money store ÷ Psychodrama - Ye + The Big Day + Titanic Rising - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind - Revival = This review
Never heard of Pup before. I'll put them on my "Check them out" list memo.
Start at the beginning man, Self titled is (in my humble opinion) an inCREDIBLE album, nothing I would skip. 2nd album is also great however much more diverse and has a few that are a miss but still overall a banger album. And now we have this and it's also pretty damn goooood
Jeff Rosenstock (vacation, worry) & Captain, We're Sinking (the future is cancelled) still have the best pop punk records of the decade in my eyes.
Review Fontaines DC, please!
only issue I'v found with MS are the differences in production from TDIO. The latter sounds like Steve's telecaster deluxe is on a bridge pickup and the new record sounds like his jazzmaster on the neck pickup i.e. a lot less attack in the lead guitar IMO. Even Zack's drums seem to lack punch not in performance but in their sonic presence, again compared to TDIO. It might come down to them wanting a makeover in the mastering for a more professional/ubiquitous sound, instead of a niche punk scene band's sound. Thoughts anyone?
KIDS and Free At Last have pretty heavy hitting drums, and it pretty definite that Zach got better at drumming since their last album, because the drums on this third album are so fucking good
I feel like Fantano changes the description scores because I swear to god it used to say 7
Not sure I like this one as much as The Dream is Over, but may have to listen to it a couple more times before I can make a judgement on that. But you can't really go wrong with PUP imo.
It was less hard for sure, but felt that's where they wanted to go
It took until the second half of the album for me to really get into it. I'll keep it around for my year-end reevaluation.
My most listened album 2019
Lookin like 2019 is gonna start being the year of the 8, and honestly I ain't complaining.
you eight complaining?
But 2018 was the year of the eight
year of the 9, actually.
Cool Anthony, but you didn’t have to skin a young dog on camera to prove your point. We know what a pup is.
i remember i downloaded kids after just hearing the riff and not really listening to it afterwards. then when i was about to go into 7th grade, i was on a trip to nashville, and decided to listen because i didn’t remember it. and that’s when i realized how good it was. i listened to the whole album then and there
One of my favorite bands being reviewed by my favorite music reviewer. Nice!
Although I love this album I still think I love The Dream Is Over slightly more but I understand why some would prefer this album. Pup is 3 for 3 and I cant wait for number 4 its gonna be great
The Dream Is Over has more diversity in terms of song writing and is a much better composed album. Morbid Stuff is a bunch of great songs mixed together and thrown onto a record.
big fan of this album. one of my favorites. i say “one of” because FAKE BLOOD by HEART ATTACK MAN dropped and that’s what you need to review
I spaced out for a half a second and I swear to God he started reviewing a death grips album
Real satisfied with this review. Had a feeling you would warm up to PUP with this record.
My friend reccomended this band since I'm a big fan of punk and rock music, been listening ever since I was born. I Absolutely love the song Scorpion Hill. Starts off with a folk sound and then hits a hard punk tune right after.
This album is banger after banger and I just love it
This is one of my favourite albums, perhaps ever? I got into the band thru DVP but Morbid Stuff was their first album i really vibed with. I may be extremely biased (this album reached me when I desperately needed it) (& I'm VERY new to the pop-punk scene so take this w a grain of salt), but I'd give it a solid 9 thru 11. Thank you for the recs via the other bands you mentioned, I'm gonna give em a listen!
Found em back in 2013 with The Dream Is Over and I was blown away. Every album is on point. It also helps I'm in that picture in the album haha
yo aha what excuse me?
which album cover???!!

aurora fuuu
the song "sibling rivalry" is about Stefan's sister. the song is also talking about a specific trip himself and his sister went on. There's another track called Yukon that covers that story as well
Any love for Stefan's previous band Stop, Drop, and Skank?

Please do a review on Social Cues from Cage The Elephant when it comes out
What I've just listened to cause it came out yesterday
@@jacobf2833 I think he dislikes Cage the Elephant too much to want to review it, which makes me sad. :(
my friend and i are playing the fantano drinking game to this video and we are now very drunk
Your review just got me into High on Fire. Thanks.
My favorite album of the decade for sure. 10/10 for me
It was cool watching them debut 2 of these songs in a random basement in Cobourg, ON. Happy that Fatmano likes it too!
Listened to these guys for a while now and this album took a bit to grow on me (mostly because I wasn't in the mood my first listen) but I love this group and this is my fav of their albums, glad to see the melon agrees!
Imagine being from Toronto and into punk and not knowing about PUP until now. Shame is all I feel.
My album of 2019
We did it boys
Been loving that Master of Reality LP on the shelf back there.
Person with Opinions every time I see it on the shelf the buildup to “Children Of The Grave” starts playing in my head... Probably my favorite Sabbath album. ♾
Hi Melon, I suggest you to listen to the Turkish new/dark wave group "Jakuzi". They are not that mainstream even in Turkey, but I absolutely adore their instrumentals and (sometimes pretty dark) diverse lyrics. They've just released their second album "Hata Payi" with some highlights like: "Yangin", "Suphe", "Kendime Ragmen". Their most popular song is easily "Koca bir Sacmalik" from their first album "Fantezi Muzik". They are now on tour and I will be there Amsterdam 11th of May. Now go and listen :)
Saying you laughed when the Notre Dame Cathedral began to burn was a bit uncalled for, Melon.. even morbid, I'd say
Amazing album. I must’ve listened to this album everyday since release (and before release, due to it leaking early). Even though they’re somewhat big in the pop-punk/punk scene, I have a feeling this will be their breakthrough album and gain a lot more fans.
Best album 2019 so far
They have yet to make a bad album.
holy shit i didnt know u reviewed pup, and gave them an 8 at that, they quickly became my fav band
Did a one mr fantano just call pup the high on fire of pop punk? Pretty cool, Anthony. Pretty cool.
data_analysis_ cosby he definitely didn’t he said it’s like high on fire meets pop punk but ok
I personally loved this album, I think it was for sure the best yet from pup and I hope they release more soon. my rating is 7/10 because this album probably has the most variety but i still wanted a little more diversity.
Damn, I already gave this album a 5. Looks like I have to change it
ri. yes, you do.
Was hoping you'd review this, have been listening to this pretty much non-stop over the last week since I got the vinyl. I would go strong 8/light 9 but i'm more of a pop-punk guy. Fav tracks: Kids, Scorpion Hill, Closure and Bare Hands.
Review suggestion: FONTAINES D.C. - Dogrel
Rewiew the new The Chemical Brothers album!
I love PUP, I really do. I think the first album is awesome and The dream is over is even better, but on this one i felt that a lot of melodies were reused, recicled, I felt like i was listening a different version of other pup songs that i already knew
Woohoo! Can't stop listening to this album. Really looking forward to seeing them with Charly Bliss this summer
Thank's for reviewing this, mel--ANTHONY FANTANO!
These guys did a free show at college in my town. I'm not into pop punk but damn they killed it that night.
this album got MBDTF + Revival
Thanks for introducing this artist and album to me, I’m loving it!
So the metal jacket is the new yellow flannel?
What about the new FIDLAR album
Bryce Winchode we don’t talk about almost free
