Kero Kero Bonito make their Polyvinyl debut with a pretty radical departure from the signature sound cemented on Bonito Generation. Thankfully, Time 'n' Place is every bit as good as that album.

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - Hudba
Fun fact for you: Kero Kero Bonito is the greatest music group of all time. They’re like the Beatles, but way better, and easily more important.
Ok were you drunk while writing these?
Jared Quintero gonna cry?
Troll account
Yeah
Tbh the Beatles are overrated
Why does your nose wear shoes?
Can not un-see
Consistent Pogba well obviously noses run!!!
that's the best comment I've seen in Fantano's videos
I have no words.
Is your name a joke?
Wow Anthony did you really just say you respect and love all of your fans?
ew ❤️
Is this the post "great review but.." meme era ?
@@KSG__ nah its juste a variance of it.
Gaaaaaaaaay
I feel like puking.

Hi
Hey, can I be on your record label?
KKB is a seriously underrated band. Just so we all know here, this album came hot off of some weird things in the band members' lives, like Sarah having recurring messages and images in her dreams and getting sent a picture of a barren wasteland where her childhood home was by her brother. Gus and Jamie experienced similar things but also had deaths and losses added in. The album was meant to reflect their position in life.
Jack Hayes somebody read the press release
@@ayyds Actually, came from word of mouth of other people. Caught my attention tho.
"underrated" stop
Wait somebody SENT her that picture? That's fucking creepy
It was her brother so it wasnt that creepy i guess
Another Death Grips album, another yellow flannel. Why you got to be so predictable, Melonhead?
fuck this made me actually lol
Under rated comment
MC Ride like the purple wig Mc ride
still waiting that death grips kkb collab
that would break /mu/
Life Grips
I saw that being said on Sarah’s live stream but where did the idea come from
He has all that YOTS vinyl on the back, you know?
Sarah needs to give them vocal samples like bjork did
Yellow Flannel - YOU’RE GOD DAMN RIGHT
Sarah blink if you’re okay
...SHES IN DANGER
That pic is some milk carton shit
I hope she didnt get crushed 😳
Nathan Kluwak don’t remind me :(
Britney spears fans be like...
I love Dump tho. I think KKB wouldn't have wanted the track to build, it's meant to be tranquil and liberating while still sad, as Sarah is basically talking about getting rid of her dead parrot's cage and stuff like that. I really like the risk they took with this track, just not going towards the noisy/cheerful breakdown they did almost all the way through Bonito Generation and the rest of the very same Time'n'Place. I think it really says a lot about KKB getting adult and coming to terms with things and trying to maintain innocence and all the good things while they eventually get to be discarded and dropped off in a dump.
I also loved dump
the melody on it is no nice
i adore dump. let me tell u from experience it hits different when youre moving out and have to say goodbye to so many things
Dump hits different on a rainy day
How many melons do you have to eat until your skin turns yellow, eat too much and you’ll get sick, melons are pretty rich
Yes
No time for dat goku
Thank you, Nick. Very cool.
Melons are the worst fruit
INTO THE FLAMES
I loved Bonito Generation, but honestly... Time 'n' Place cemented KKB as one of my favorite bands of all time. idk their music just really makes me emotional, hits me at my core or something. It's probably because I'm in that transitional period of my life that their songs tend to be about
Me too
Kero Kero Fantano
BONITO MEANS CUTE IN SPANISH. ANTHONY IS REALLY CUTE, JUST SAYING.
Bonito means Beautiful/Handsome in Portuguese
Bonitos are a tribe of medium-sized, ray-finned predatory fish in the family scombridae
Kero means "Ribbit" or whatever noise a frog makes
Wtf I was born and raised in a spanish household but i never made the connection that bontito means cute im actaully so stupid
Kero Kero Bonito is Weezer except the lead singer IS the half-Japanese girl.
God damn
Lmao
Wait u r soo right
it’s weezer for people who jerk off to mc ride from death grips
Monky basically god damn, this man is really thinkin
thanks for telling me my opinion on this album melon
This album is a 10/10 no one can tell me otherwise.
FACTS
Facts.
Very recently became a KKB fan and I would not be surprised if this album became a 10 for me. And this is coming from someone who is very strict with their 10s
agree
@@R-H-B what are your other 10/10s?
This is legit my favourite album of all time.
Based
Dump is one of the best on the album imho. Something about the way she sings "dropping off the things that they no longer need to ke-eep"
You’re constantly putting me onto new music because I watch how enthusiastic you are about great music and it makes me want to give it a listen. I found Kendrick through your early Section80 review and Grimes to list a couple of greats. I will give this a listen ❤️🙌🏾
they're one of the most unique groups in pop, enjoy it
Same here, it's kinda crazy how big this channel is now
Same. I found out about KKB through Anthony's Bonito Generation review and I've been a fan of them ever since. Not to mention all the Metal and Punk stuff he's turned me on to
Downvoted
Same here, discovered Kendrick and one of my now favorite bands, screaming females. Thx melon
I really hope you are doing okay and aren’t too burnt out. You really deserve a break. Love u Fantano.
Would you say he deserves a "Rest Stop"?
Bonito Generation is an album about being a hopeful child marching on to adulthood, and Time 'n' Place is the follow-up to that. With Time 'n' Place, Kero Kero Bonito realizes the truth in adolescence and develop some mental disorders in the process, for when one goes through such optimism in the real world, you suffer for it in the end.
to me Bonito Generation is a 10/10 and Time 'n' Place a 9/10
Tran
While I agree with your thoughts on Bonito Generation, I don't think Time n Place is exactly a case of "developing mental disorders" because of what they had realized; KKB already had an early period of questioning mature subject matters in their Intro Bonito mixtape, where a bunch of songs like "Pocket Crocodile", "Let's Go to the Forest", "I'd Rather Sleep", "Small Town", and even "Sick Beat" addressed issues of existentialism, prejudice, depression, and death.
Bonito Generation is basically a response to that half-cheery, half-dreary mindset, basically saying "The future will be strange and busy, but it doesn't have to be sad; we can still go in it with a smile, so let's do that!"
Time n Place, in turn (at least to me) is itself a reaction to Generation, and sort of a revisit to the existential and nervous themes of Intro, with the key difference being that rather than having the anxious, scary future approaching soon, *that future is now*. tbh, I don't see Time n Place as being like contemptuous of optimism or thinking observing the world with childhood innocence is stupid, as elements of it still are in the album; it's just that the mature, stressful, scary adulthood that they've grown up into is here, and it must be lived with. KKB still has elements of sincere optimism in a lot of places here, and they're not saying adulthood has to be stressful and scary, it just simply IS.
Time n Place is about how the world of adulthood can be simultaneously sad, cheerful, melancholy, optimistic, pessimistic, bittersweet, whatever. It doesn't have to be exclusively one or the other.
sition.
@@anthg4563 thank you
@@Number9Robotic what I meant by my thoughts on Time 'n' Place wasn't just about developing mental disorders. In a very simple sense, Time 'n' Place feels like "a slap in the face" for the childlike optimism from Bonito Generation. In tracks like Big City and Trampoline, KKB's message was that of being an adult will be great because the protagonist is a star with big dreams, and Time 'n' Place shows that dreams are too exaggerated and distant from reality, and the band's protag is now grounded to that reality. There's a definite hint of hopelessness, but the optimism was still intact. The track Make Believe is to me, the protagonist sings to herself to keep being an optimist, even if reality is pretty overbearing. Tracks like Visiting Hours and Sometimes shows the development of depression one would get from dreaming too high only to fall so far, and you feel the emotions in songs. In the simplest of terms, Bonito Generation is the soundtrack to a person who just graduated and is now tackling adulthood and Time 'n' Place is the future of said person, who has now realized adulting is hard.
sgender
lol Dump is my favorite track on that Album
One of my favs aswell
Fine Antony but why did you call her a shrimp?
Shrimp are pretty rich
Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf Yes
You get the idea
I literally came back to this video fir this comment lol
Do do do do do do do do do do
I actually think Visiting Hours is one of the most beautifully executed tracks on the album.
Time Today is a banger. Definitely prefer this maturer direction they’re going in. I’d say BG: 8/10, Time n Place: 9/10, Civilisation Eps: 10/10
All of them 10s
imagine dump being his least favourite
that song puts me in a strange place
How is Dump not a favorite wha
its kinda boring tbh rest stop was my favorite cuz im edgy
the song "dear future self" makes me feel so happy and so sad at the same time
Dump was your least favourite? How is that even possible?
OMG I literally just saw them live and got pics with them and spoke to them about you and how you gave them a lot of new fans and traction, nice to see you like the new album
What do they think about him?
they appreciated the amount of fans he's given to them, but Jamie seemed like he was quite dissatisfied with what he said about TOTEP and talked about how they don't take his criticisms on board and rather just do what they want which is cool
Was this in Manchester? I saw them last night too. We saw Sarah walk past us though and by the time we realised it was her she'd gone
yeah man, was an awesome gig
damn. 8/10. sick
Q
7/10. 8/10. Sick
fucking spoilers
Iridescence. 8/10. Sick
damn+1. damn+1/10. sick
Went to their concert in Manchester the other day, shit was great. They were doing covers of their old stuff using their new sound, including flamingo of course, and during Trampoline Sarah just started death howling after the chorus. Couldn't stop smiling the whole time.
Hmm personally loved Dump, felt the flow of the song was really refreshing

Cal should sing this before the next review lmao

Dang, Rest Stop is my favorite track on this album. I love the eerie dark ambient change for that song, reminds me of the bowels of the internet I sometimes find myself in
You're goddamn right. (But predictably you didn't like the SLEEPIEST track, Dump)
agreed. dump is one of my favorites from the album
Fantano completely sleeping on the sleepy songs
He doesn't like sleepy music
i have been listening to this album for like 4 years now and i absolutely adore it. it's honestly one of the very few albums i constantly find myself returning to
this whole album is beautiful, my fav song by far is swimming
KKB already holds a very special place in my heart. I listened to Graduation on my graduation day, and their first album was the soundtrack to the end of that schoolyear. Time n' Place is definitely a soudtrack for this chapter of my life and for sure a fall album.
I’d kill for this coincidence
honestly i liked dump, I feel like it communicated a mood really well
They really crushed it. 👌👌👌
based
depressed cockroach LMAO
I didn't think he would like this one 🤔
Gavin Drake same. Still not sure how I feel about it myself. But as always, I’ll give it another listen with his comments in mind!
It's pretty much a full LP version of TOTEP, so I'm surprised he didn't like TOTEP and loved this
Yogkog I'd even say TOTEP's songs are better in general than the new songs in TnP. Well, Anthony is not that predictable after all.
I think TOTEP was kinda lame, this LP is executed so much better. TOTEP lacks tracks like Time Today or Make Believe.
I'm so glad you posted this when i was a little down, it lifted my spirits. and the positive review you gave it made me even happier too since i also enjoyed this album too!
I really enjoyed dump, ended up being one of my favorite tracks on the record the synth solo in the middle is fantastic
Yellow flannel babyyyyy
Logic is getting pretty swole.

I’m so happy you enjoyed this album. I’ve been waiting for you to do this since it got released. There are some gems in this.
I’m searching for the « why does your nose wear shoes » comment actually 😭
Totally agree. I was a little hesitant going into this record after their last EP, but damn I love this 100x more than what they put out last. It’s a great mix of that new sound, with lots of what we loved from their first record.
Anthony, you introduced me to Everything Everything, Car Seat Headrest, King Gizz and many more, and I will always be thankful for that
Same
Damn thanks Anthony, I love these guys! Never listened to them until this review and I'm hooked! I prefer this album over their other works but they are all round really good!
I became a fan of Kero Kero Bonito after watching your review on Bonito Generation. I can say that I like Time 'n' Place more, which is saying something, because I really enjoyed Bonito Generation! I love the fact that, as you said, KKB took risks by switching things up! My favorite tracks are the same as yours, and I liked how Rest Stop closed the album (not to mention all of the trippy transitions). I'm looking forward to their LA concert in November!
This is one of my favourite albums of all time but I cannot fuck with Bonito Generation, glad they switched lanes
Last comment I promise...
I was introduced to KKB after catching them playing support for Saint Etienne (a local gig for them - it was at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon! 2015. Christ, time flies...)
Anyway, I thought they were weird as fuck, very twee and childlike
("Hey everybody! We're KERO KERO BONITO! And we're gonna have some FUN!")
but I loved them! Especially when Sarah did the "Flamingo" dance!
😊 😂
"Flamingo, Oh Oh Oh-Woo-Oh!" 😀✌🏼😁👍🏼
When you're not sure of quite what you're experiencing at a gig... It's usually a good idea to listen closer/harder! 😊
i read that "Hey everybody! We're KERO KERO BONITO! And we're gonna have some FUN!" in sarahs voice LMAO
Nice to see the edits making a comeback
Very glad to hear you reference the Weezer sonics on "Only Acting" -- been thinking that since the release!
"Dump", however, is one of my favorites!
dump is one of the best songs on the album

The year of music positively
Such a great year with more to come!!
this BASTARD gave bladee a 1 i'm still shook
I wonder if Bladee's music will grow into Melon... Like Yung Lean who went from My hands are bread to a 6 o 7 i think?
Bless you, my man
Thanks for the album announcement. I would have missed this one.
I am so glad this album got a great review because I love KKB a lot, they are so good. I only found out about them because of your bonito generation review though, thanks so much for another album recommendation.
I understood that background reference, Melon. nice.
surprised dump is listed as his least favorite track, that’s easily top 3 for me
Anthony, if you're having a bad day please know that there are people all around the world who may be having a shitty time as well and by introducing them us to new music you are helping us get through it. For example, I have a broken as fuck leg right now and I can't do shit except for listen to music. You've been my biggest support without even realising. Thank you and love from Australia.
So happy to see this reviewed so quickly after release.
its interesting to see this group go from their tiny soundcloud days to getting recognized by a well known music review artist and im glad they are getting the recognition they deserve
Now we need the Clarence clarity THINK:PEACE review.
I loved that you gave ur point on various songs. 👏
You crushed this review, Fantano.
Good job!
i felt the same almost exactly, told my friend this sounds like if the beatles or the beach boys had access to a wide library of SNES soundfonts
It’s funny usually my favorite songs are his least favorite. I love “dump” so much. It feels so “nostalgic”. The weird background bass reminds me of a game boy advance. If you listen to the “SpongeBob movie the game OST” on GBA. It just gives me that type of fun grainy nostalgia. I dunno I love that song.
I'm coming to their concert in Warsaw in late November and I can't wait!!!
I'm glad you like it as I wasn't sure you would because of your review of totep, I think they really defined the whole pop grunge sound
was it really necessary to start lusting over nexgencrusher

Hell yea so glad you reviewed her Melon. I discovered her earlier this year and heard “waking up” and was like wtf is this!! That whole album oozes positivity and it sounds amazing. Big fan.
Really glad you like this. Such a good change for them
Drinking Game: Take a shot everytime melon says 'Pop'
This album really crushed my expectations.
ah? AHH! AHHH?? EHHH?? heheheh
Time today is so amazing. Thanks for giving it a good review melonthony
i'm a new fan. i love the variety between albums.
I go to eat dinner once and miss my chance to get top comment
Yess. I was waiting for this.
YAYAYAYAY YOU LISTENED TO ME!!!! but I miss her.. BUT her new kinda music is giving her attention, so I guess that's bad good. I love this change its good! She's awesome and she inspires me, I watched her when I was happy, and I watched twentyonepilots when I was depressed. I LUV HER!
I'm a big KKB fan, but honestly as I listened to this album I just found myself constantly wanting to relisten to Bonito Generation instead of Time 'n' Place. That being said I still love the new album! I just miss how unique and bubbly the old style was.
I thought the last album was a "gimmick" even though it was a good one, and this would be a disaster. Instead they actually did something amazing and I will never doubt their decisions again.
Great to hear your positive review. You probably underrated TOTEP, which was maybe burdened by the question "Will they pull it off?". Turns out they did, an unlikely success.
Thank you melon this is a good album I’m glad u help me listen to music i would have never heard of if i haven’t watched the vid
You should review Malibu Nights album by LANY!
Im really sorry, LANY is reslly basic. Still its my personal preference, to each his own.
@@kylekyl8546 YEss aaa
Did not enjoy this album nearly as much as Bonito Generation (to be fair that album is a 10/10 to me). It's good, and I'm glad they took the risk instead of resting on their laurels, but BG was a zeitgeist album with a certain spark and feeling that I don't think they could ever capture again.
i was just thinking about an album I could listen to, loved your graduation review (how i found them) great band. Also what do you mean what you say "deep cut"
Love KKB. Discovered it here!
Yayyyy so glad you liked it.
I don’t think KKB has released a single bad song. They’re the most creative and unique group in a long time.
I'm still on the fence about this album. I love Bonito Generation, and their tracks that pre-date it, but this album is a serious departure from their sound. Yes, I love the lyrics, and the musicianship is impeccable, but maybe I just haven't spent enough time with it. I'll see them in concert, and listen to the album again, but thanks for the review. It reminds me that artistic direction should be taken at face value, and this is who KKB is now. I'm OK with that, even if I need to sit with it for a bit :)
Elaiza from Crying also contributed a bunch of background vocals all over this album!
Great review melon, but I found the last 5 minutes of video where you were saying you were going to make her your wife whether she likes it or not over and over again rather unsettling.
