      Mourning is such a catchy and incredible song to me, I love it so much. Reviews like this where I disagree with fantano always leave me wondering whether most bad reviews are just anthony not liking that kind of music anymore and projecting it onto the album instead of acknowledging its not his thing. How much of it is reviewing and how much of it is just incredibly subjective?

      I believe the tracks he mentions in the description as "FAV TRACKS" & "LEAST FAV TRACK" are in the context of the album. He liked Mourning on its own but prefers other songs in the grander scheme of things, like Chemical. He did not like Chemical as a standalone track.

    This rating was so predictable I seen as a soon as I heard what type of album it was and fantano wouldn’t like it it’s a great album and he hates simplicity and doesn’t rate stuff based on just Liking music I know it’s job to analyse the complexity of music but should appreciate the simple strait forward stuff more cause this album was great and good vibes.

  • @fortheloveofmusicandphilosophy

    Haven't disagreed with Fantano in a while, and considering the new Travis Scott album dropped the same day, Post's album has been way more in rotation at home and in the car than Utopia. These songs have so much emotion, he's just being himself, and a lot of it resonated with me at a deeper level, struggling with a lot of the same issues, as do a lot of other people. Landmine, overdrive, chemical, don't understand, mourning, socialite, novacandy, all amazing. It's better than putting on a mask and pretending to be something your not just cause that's what the "fans" want. EDIT - The YT algorithm did not even suggest this review to me! And I'm an avid watcher of the channel, pretty sure it knew I'd disagree😅😅

    Well I for one love this album. Was kind of eh on it at first but it's really grown on me.
    Love Nova Candy, Too Cool to Die and Landmine. The whole album is great tho.
    Kind of feel like Fantano got some ridiculous beef with Posty at this point, because a 3 is like Weezer Raditude bad 😂
    Edit: I understand he doesn't compare his scores to every artist. Fantano uses the scale for each artist on their own. So I do get that.
    But at a certain point we need to be real here. Even if you think this album is mediocre that's closer to a 4 or 5. We are talking out of 10 after all.
    I dunno. Just the feeling I get sometimes that Fantano has a personal thing against certain artists. I personally hate Drake but I can objectively admit when an album he's made is technically good. It's just not for me personally. Despite that I wouldn't give it a 3.

    This is coming from a big Post Malone fan, and I have to say I quite enjoyed this album. The more personal direction is great, I love the inclusion of guitar on every song and the lack of features, and the highlights really shine, especially at the beginning. The problem is that it feels unfocused with its bloated track list, production that feels loud but hollow all the same, and the substance getting lost in the shuffle. I think this record could've been great if Posty cut down the track list to about 12, fleshed out those tracks better, and gave his narrative more thought and purpose. But then again, Mr. Melon gave Circles a Not Good way back when, so yeah, of course I'm gonna disagree with him.

    i thought the album was great honestly. I understand it is mainstream and generic but the feels were there for sure

    I thought it was boring. The melodies are generic, I can't stand "I'm sad but I've everything" vibes. It was really shallow. And it's one F hour. After 4 songs a wanted to listen the whole thing because I felt I already listened to the whole album. "Post is sad, but have friends and money, but he's sad"
