This is the most fantano fan comment I’ve ever seen. Touch grass you woke loser
Melon took "Think Later" as an instruction and thus waited 2 months to drop a review
Bruh fr😭🤣🤣
Had to wash the red flannel
“Rip off of MIA’s Bad Girls but for people who think water is too spicy” is an absolutely fire line. 🔥
is it tho. is it. really
hello fantano
sounds like subvert racism tbh.
Ngl I can’t think of a single song on that album which sounds like Bad Girls (this is before watching the video so I’m not sure what song he’s speaking on)
Must be "think later" @@NotRealMusicRyan
Did Anthony really just acknowledge album art in a review? For like a minute? I must be dreaming
He only acknowledges it when he thinks it sucks xd I remember him doing the same for Migos Culture 3
When the music itself doesn't have much to offer, then yeah. Might as well talk about the album art.
besides his reasonings for doing so i'd honestly be very interested to know more of his opinions regarding concepts, album arts and visuals
He also mentioned album art in his Lady Gaga- Born This Way review.
I guess album art is part of music. I can see the purpose in talking about it even if it doesn't directly effect the songs itself.
This just shows that Olivia rodrigo and Billie Eilish are just on a different universe compared to their counterparts in the same age range
Yes they’re both beyond fucking boring while performing. But at the same time talented. I guess that’s the give and take these days.
@Shane-jg6pr bro haven’t seen Billie performance at the recent Grammys
@@Renegade-kf8fpShe was just sit the whole time bro,
What am I supposed to see?
I put off listening to both forever cause I assumed they were just more mediocre-bad industry plants. Was quite surprised at how great all of their albums actually were(apart from Sour, don’t care for that one). They are both definitely carrying pop for their age range.
@@Renegade-kf8fp I did. It was beautiful but also beyond fucking boring. Oddly can be both at same time. I also saw her at Coachella and was bored as well. I don’t personally like the way she translates her music to live settings. Same with Olivia. I find singer/songwriters who don’t have incredible vocal ranges unfortunately not that entertaining.
The rise of baby-like processed vocals is one of the worst trends in mainstream pop. But the general public will eat it up if it's easily digestible and has generic and insubstantial lyrics on love and relationships.

Yes its like influence of hyperpop is bleeding into mainstream pop in the worst way possible
Eh this comment reeks of caring too much about vocals. Sick of boring artists dominating pop solely for belting
@@dusthymn8187 yeah me too but I don't want THIS as an alternative
Just write good melodies and sing with the little bit of flaws you got
Like a lot of irritating things, thank Melanie Martinez LMAO!
from a distance i thought the hockey pads were her legs frozen in a giant ice cube. i like that concept better for an album cover
Lmao same
Me too!
Could have called the album "Cold Feet"
7:36 highly relevant
I THOIGHT DHE WAS STANDINF IN A SHOT GLASS
The idea that they just put her in hockey gear on the cover just because she's Canadian is hilariously sad.
its cause her ex boyfriend (who the album is about) is a player in the nhl. i swear i know that cause im a hockey fan not cause im a tate mcrae fan

Wait, she’s Canadian 😮

As a hockey player the goalie pads being backwards is unforgivable!
I just noticed it and now I can’t unsee it 😂
Especially because her most recent ex was Cole Sillinger! Someone might be a little bit of an airhead...not unexpected for a 20 year old popstar, but still funny lol.
what’s the album called again?
Also really, really really small for some reason?
@@pizzaface4628
I'm sure it's on purpose to annoy people
I think Sabrina Carpenter is doing a much better job at this kind of pop music. Plus there’s way more variety on Emails I Can’t Send. Fast Times is an addictive song
shes def doing a lot better than Tate but all the latest pop artists are kinda flopping or at the very least just lack that uniqueness that you need in such a competitive industry
@@sorrythatimsorryI think Billie Eilish has a good amount of creativity/uniqueness or at least a solid vision to her, though it is hard to tell due to the million copycats of her lol.
she’s giving me a lot of xtina energy. glad she’s getting her flowers
@@scotlandmc1724who is copying Billie Eilish?
Your absolute right. Sabrina is much better and deserves the awards more than tate 😂
Surprised this album got a full review.
I mean she's #34 in the world on Spotify right now :o That's gonna get Tony some views
As much as Melon does do a lot to bring out obscure artists, the man’s gotta eat.
It's called Think Later because it wants you to be braindead while listening. Top marketing move
that actually makes sense

Ah yes, because referring to people who enjoy something that you don’t as “brain dead” is peak intellectual behavior.
@@chickensalad3535Definitely smarter than getting offended at an inane joke you'll forget about in the next 5 minutes. Just like the album itself
The T in Anthony Fantano stands for Tate McRae
Which T? 😂
@@squeallymaniacboth
the theme of the album is hockey, because it is written about her ex-boyfriend, who was a hockey player. hence the hockey pads in the cover, ice rink music video, etc. on exes, when she’s saying “i still got your number and your necklace,” she is referring to a jersey or other item with his team number. same thing with “she wears your number, but i’ve got what you like,” on hurt my feelings. not trying to say that these critiques are invalid, but there definitely is somewhat of a level of coherence and storytelling throughout the project.
exactly ik he said there’s no concept to the album but the entirety of its visuals have all been sporty
I appreciate this context. I was looking for something in the comments to maybe shed light on something being missed. I feel like I just don't get the concept as opposed to there isn't one
exactly, i searched for this comment, tate is amazing
@@TaterStalker-pt1vy dunno why fantano has to be critical af about her, I like her songs her too. Fun and catchy but two each his own I guess
@@warmfridge3320it’s because at this point all he can do is either give tens where they’re do or completely bash an artist into the ground. There is no nuance or in between because those don’t get views…
New not good just dropped lets go
The way anthony describes this album is just top notch poetry
Thats the whole reason hes so successful. He’s really good at talking about albums.
More like borderline misogyny
I think she has potential, 'greedy' is my jam.

I like that too and 'exes'.
Greedy as well although I find this album and Tate meh
the best in my opinion is prob "we're not alike"
there is something so visceral about the chorus on that one. it’s hits me so hard. really good melodic structure and pacing.

Hard disagree on this one, I think the music she has put out has been great
If i remember correctly, she did say she wrote exes in like 30 minutes. I wonder how long it took to write the rest of the songs 😅
less than that lol
in her mind, she did something impressive that hasn't been accomplished by any artist that came before her lol she even called herself a very visual writer at one point... sure, sure!

i can't believe how so many people compared this girl to dua lipa with her sophomore album "future nostalgia".
Exactly, a few of tate's songs are catchy, but future nostalgia is just superior at so many levels.
Tate runs in circles with what she sings about. I wouldn’t say this able to terrible but it just isn’t much growth from her debut album
maybe cause she’s 19 and not 45 like u fossils
This is why greedy is still on the billboard hot 100 within the top 10s😂 and has been on there since September
@@LoganBlack-ws4xg imagine thinking chart position has anything to do with the quality of the songs 🤡
thank you for explaining that the title is somewhere on the leg pads, still can’t find it but i’m looking 🤞
I’m a sucker for pop music and I fully love this album. Greedy and exes are smash singles. She’s a phenomenal performer. Think later, guilty conscience, and hurt my feelings are also BOPS. I’m personally very excited for Tate
me too I love think later so much but I do have to be honest that the synthetic-like vocals and slightly lazy songwriting is a bit of an issue, think later is still amazing ❤
@@IavenderhazeeI understand what you are saying. The album was unfortunately rushed by her label. She had to turn it in months before she was planning to. This was due to her label wanting to capitalize off of the success of greedy when it happened. I think her 3rd album will be where she really SHINES, hopefully. She is also planning to release deluxe tracks from this album pretty soon, so hopefully those will be good indicators of what’s to come.
Personally I really like Tate McRae, I have her entire think later album saved and almost all of her used to think I could fly songs. She has an actual dance background unlike most pop stars. She’s an amazing performer and she can really sing, liking her mostly just depending on your music taste.
Yeah same. I personally enjoy the album. She still has room to grow in the future
Yeah I like almost every song on both her albums. I actually like that her songs are pretty much designed to dance too…you could argue that her dance background influences her music that way. Which I appreciate. Sometimes you just want a catchy song you can dance to and not think about the lyrics. You don’t need a crazy concept behind it. Sometimes I just wanna feel like I’m a 20 year old with a bad attitude for 3 minutes again 😂
You're saying absolutely nothing.

We've just gone from The Last Dinner Party review score to this😭
The hate is strong with this one 😂 😂
No surprise, given that her songs were playing everywhere all the time 😂
I actually love this album. Like it isn't groundbreaking by any means and I totally get the criticism, but I enjoy it a lot. Also I've been listening to it pretty consistently since it dropped and I didn't notice the title on the pads until this lmao. So unreadable if you don't look at it hi-res
i feel the same way about it… never even thought i would ever genuinely like a tate mcrae album but for some reason i like it a lot and find the songs enjoyable and i find myself just listening to it almost everyday but im afraid if i were to tell someone i like it or suggest it to it would come off as distasteful but i can definitely see why people would hate it
how did this get a full review and not troye sivan 😭😭

@@Pxrdunkeven fantano thinks that album is mid 😂 ✌️
@@PxrdunkStop projecting.
Considering that she's only 20 and more of a dancer than a singer, the music and the overly-processed vocals is about what we should expect, I think. Still not good, but the thing going for her is that she's genuinely gorgeous and that Greedy is really damned catchy. Let's be real here, too: looks go a LONG way for any young female pop star.
I mean yeah but looks alone aren’t enough
shes incredibly regular looking though and has the regular makeup look of the day. therefore next year when that look has moved on she will be left behind
@@ftftyffghfvghfcht6701 Have you ever heard of the phrase "normal hot"? That's what she is. You don't have to look like a supermodel to be really attractive.
@@TheZenomeProject she's neither of those things. she's incredibly average looking. they dont appear to be able to find a one direction calibre appearance pop star nowadays
Y’all can come for me but I love this album.
As a millennial that was becoming a teenager when Christina Aguillera’s Dirty became a big hit and to gradually see Christina become super sexualised and now see Dirty being used as an inspiration for more uninspired sexualization in Tate’s videos, photo shoots and that horrible cover for the album… it’s clear to me that her label is trying to cash in big time on the same old sexualising our very young artist until we have squeezed it dry. For example the exes video is solely shot as “see how hot her behind is” while the song is how she is young and not yet decide how her she wants to tackle her romantic life. Can’t even talk enough about how toxic the greedy song is. Being the object of interest for way older man (she is half his age in her song) and acting like that’s exciting and validating, preaching the message to other teenage girls while the song is inspired by Timbaland’s beat from Promiscuous. 🙄 No wonder the album is bad, it’s meant to spark tik tok dance virality and appeal also to her core audience (teenage girls and young women) but also to the male gaze (aka creepy predatory men) because it brings the big bucks for the label. Let us not forget she is 20 years old and she is already being pushed into the same mould of soon to be become stale pop star unless she is shows constantly how beautiful and sexy she is while singing about boys and men. Needless to say I’m tired of this, Tate has potential for better music and visuals away from the same sexy pop star stereotype.
I'm not a design person exactly, but the criticism that "black clothes don't read against a black background" sounds very strange to me (2:01).
The point is to have her body be the focus, and having colored clothes would probably ruin the contrast \ impact they were going for. Any other color besides black here would look out of place. Besides that, It's a simple palette that I see pretty often.
I would say it's not so much the black clothing on its own but the way its utilized here. Black on black creates form out of negative space, so your eye has to be able to easily track where the rest of her body "should" be for it to not look awkward. since the black top covers most of her torso and she's bending at a bit of an angle, it makes a sort of awkward, unappealing shape. Plus, half her legs are covered by (off-center) white leg pads, which draw your eye to the bottom of the image, rather than anywhere you'd usually be looking if sex appeal was what your were going for, + cuts off her form at a weird spot. I think this album cover could be fixed if she either ditched the pads entirely and used a different top (it would be simple but at least not ugly), OR she had some gear on her upper half to balance out the design.
Thats just my thoughts as a hobbyist artist tho!
Yeah as an artiste myself that was off base criticism.
You would take a different shade of black/gray for that. This way, it wouldn't seem like half of her torso just vanished into the void.
that would make sense if she wasn't also wearing white hockey pads on her legs
If her body is meant to be the focus then why are my eyes drawn to the white lettering on the hockey pads
so i’m the only person here who loved it????
no i don´t think so😂personally, tate isn´t really my cup of tea either but i can say that all of my friends loved it as well. and fantano is fantano so you can´t take every review seriously lol. i mean, he originally gave ultraviolence a 2 so yeah...
I remember when Tate made a comment on TikTok that exes took 30 min to write... and it shows
I hate when people admit doing this because they clearly don't realize it's supposed to be an insult
Dude you can write a great song in 10 minutes
@@ttkrystal8329yeah, except this isn’t good though
well, yall have to realize this is her sophomore album, shes young, still a very talented preformer and singer, exes is a great song sonically and visually @@drinkmoreagua8984
“Never attribute to malice what could easily be explained by stupidity” is the best thing I’ve heard this month, nay - this YEAR.
I was kinda excited to listen to this album after "Greedy" dropped since I liked the mid-00s Timbaland-inspired production and Tate's amazing dancing skills whenever she performs it live. But yeah, aside from a few tracks, this album was mostly a major disappointment. I feel like people overhyped her to the point of calling her the next Britney Spears simply bc she's a good dancer, but I'm not really buying the hype :/
Me too, although I see the potential, this album kinda has the same problems as Jack Harlows first record, where he faced similar criticisms about the songwriting and production. And that’s what I think about with Tate’s record. The main thing for me is that I think Tate needs to change it up just a bit in a way that is somewhat clever
To be fair, go listen to Britney’s first 2 albums. They also are singles driven and aren’t that great album wise. Both wouldn’t have gotten a good review from him either, and that’s where we are with Tate’s career and age. Britney wasn’t really liked by people outside of her demo, especially older men with music backgrounds.
@@Shane-jg6proops I did it again is actually a really good album in my opinion. I like Baby One More Time too but its more outdated
@@Shane-jg6pr Yeah, but I mean Britney has pop classics like In the Zone and Blackout. Sure, Tate is only at the start of her career, but only time will tell.
It's a pretty mediocre album, but it's got some good songs. Like, I agree it's frankly pretty disappointing, but Cut My Hair, Greedy and Think Later are pretty good. Based on the singles I was hoping for something a little better and more ambitious, but it is basically just derivative of better artists.
I love the NOT GOOD series. These are the reviews that I always watch more than once.
Same here
Seek hell
How did this get a full review lmao
As much as u dislike the album its not really fair to go after her character and intelligence i don't think. Kind of a low blow
him hyper-analyzing her pretty basic lyrics is so amusing like her whole essence just pisses him off for no reason 😭
@@kaheivi fr bro was fuming

@@kaheivibro I’M fuming, Tate McRae does not deserve success like this. Fantano’s seen far more shitty music in his life than most of us, he’s gonna get fed up eventually. Popular music has been garbage for like ten years now, it’s the same shit, same formula, same chord progressions, same subjects…at some point, you gotta question the intelligence of the people who make this trash.
@@Bruh-ob9mi whatd she do to u that has caused this resentment and unfiltered bitter hatred, lmao?
I like Tate, but she feels more like a dancer/performer than a musician. Olivia and Billie are so ahead of their peers in the sense that they have their own distinct sounds and branding. Someone like Tate can easily blend in with all the other pop girls. I’m not a big fan of her ex boyfriend’s hockey gear being such a big focus point of her album cover, but the biggest thing is her voice. It needs some help for real.
can't lie tho.. greedy is soooo catchy
Tate mccrae is incredibly talented. And she makes music
I genuinely think both greedy and exs are good and tbh shes a great performer thats what she really has going for her
I liked Greedy and Exes. The rest was whatever
I think some of the songs are super catchy and compared to a lot of the other woman artists especially the ones in hip hop she's a breath of fresh air
My 16yo sister loves Tate, this review is the green light to bully her and tell her that her music taste is NOT GOOD and I am definitely NOT JOKING
Do it.
Good for your sister😂😂😂
You shouldn’t treat a sibling like that
let her listen to what she likes!
bullcrap music is subjective whatever fantano thinks isn't the end all be all no one should let his reviews dictate your music taste I disagree with his reviews half the time
It took like 5 months for him to tell us it’s not good when we already knew.
Regarding pop artists, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Renee Rapp’s album Snow Angel. Personally, I really liked it.
Renee rapp is also kinda generic but she is a MUCH better singer than Tate
if he can review tate's work then he can also review artists like Renée rapp, Sabrina carpenter, masie Peters etc💀 hearing his thoughts on these artists would be interesting
@@tylerhackner9731
But Renee is a despicable, deplorable person who hates the working class so
her voice has no emotion imo
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this album supposed to come out this year and her label just rushed her to release it in 2023?
no, the date was always planned like that and it was released on the perfect day
Correct, Greedy went viral so her label pushed an album in less than 2 months that didn't even have a song besides Greddy.
I just think this review is a bit harsh
I loved this album lmao, Very nice pop songs on there and probably the best album after Future Nostalgia by dua lipa in my opinion.
realll
At least music that came from a lab would be experimental
Lab, as in sterile, cold, and bland
this is what Brad Taste refers to as 'boardroom written'
"Say what you want to say about the tenets of Lorde's Solar Power, at least it has an ethos" Damn
Soooo do not agree with this, goddamn
This video hurt my feelings, but since I can't stay done with Tate's music, I gotta say I just have to say that yes her music sounds very formulaic and similar but I still like how it sounds and it makes me happy to listen to. Maybe we're not alike in our music tastes? I hope i don't come back and find a bunch of angry replies on my comments. I know you think you're so cool, but I for one am not a fancy music critic, and if it sounds good, it sounds good, simple. Again, if you aren't going to be nice, just go away. (7 Tate song names in here lol, don't be sad if you can't find them all).
Give Claire Rosenkranz’ new album a spin Melon. Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo inspired and I know how much you love them
Nah, the Claire Rosenkranz was awful. It feels like it's going for Olivia Rodrigo without any of the personality or clever lyricism.

@@sachitechless Agree 100%. Those two records are identical in terms of compatibility. Someone like Dora Jar, although older, would be a better contemporary to Billie and especially Olivia
@@sachitechlessbased
Well, I won't argue on the more technical side that you have criticised since I don't know much about it myself aside that it's true I'd prefer her vocals to sound more raw, and in fact I love so much more the live version of grave than the recorded one. But I can't see or agree with you what you said about her story telling her songs, u only analysed exes and said it was indicative of the whole album but that's just not true and it felt a little manipulative of the message since that's supposed to be her least meaningful song and simply a dance bop (as seen in the video), while songs like greedy, cut my hair, think later, hurt my feelings actually clearly tell a story about how an older guy, presumably almost twice her age, is showing her a darker side of life (clubbing and stuff when she says he bribes the bouncer) or how they're staying at hotels and he pays for stuff etc., it sounds like this older, richer and more powerful guy kinda taking advantage of her and she just doesn't stop to think about the consequences, but then in some other songs she realises it made her lose some of her youth because of it and how she doesn't know if she wants him or wants him gone. Then calgary talks about nostalgia and melancholy and how she felt when she grew up in her hometown and how it feels now when she goes back, a contrast to plastic palm trees where she basically talks about Los Angeles. Anyway, if you don't see coherence and actual story-telling then, sorry, you're just not looking deep enough.
As for the rest, some ppl like me just enjoy catchy songs that touch on themes they can relate at a certain point in their lives or that gets them in a mood and I think that's what this album is for.
Edit: and also you haven't credited one of the most important thing that accompanies her music and it's basically one of her biggest selling points and trademarks which is her dancing, both commercial and interpretative, which usually upgrade her music quite a lot.
cole sillinger's agent sent melon the checks
🤣🤣
I'm giving you the upvote, but I have never disagreed harder with you. It may not be AOTY, but it's solid pop, enough to at least rate. The themes of existential numbness, boredom, detachment land decently well. The light trap beats work in her favor, and lend to some very solid remixes (like the REALM mix of Greedy.)
Honestly, I'm growing tired of concept albums - they frequently don't land and cannot sustain over an LP length release. Tate's playing to her strengths on this album, and while her writing isn't at the level of top artists in pop today, it's coming along.
ANTHONY NO I NEED HER TO BE HYPED SO SHE CAN GROW THE GAME OF HOCKEY EVEN IF THE GOALIE PADS ARE ON INCORRECTLY!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't think it was too bad.
“She shouldn’t be at the top and has to go down the drain in popularity. Who’s with me?” isn’t professional Anthony.
Yes it is. He’s being honest.
Nah this channel is a joke at best.
It’s the truth.
I actually really enjoyed this album. Sometimes a formula goes well for me. Nothing special but I really liked the pop formula
Need him to do his research about the album cover...so annoying
Just noticed that the album title is on the hockey pads
Me too. Lol.
I’m sorry Canada keeps making terrible charting pop musicians, I swear we’re not this bad
the only reason i know that tate mcrae is even a real person and not a robot is that my girlfriends sister used to go to dance competitions in calgary back in the mid 2010s with her
I don't mean to be an apologist for bland pop albums, but do you think that there is any room to interpret the "plastic palm trees" critique thesis as the artistic point? I personally doubt my own devil's advocate theory because the nuance required for any artist to weave meta-narrative (the state of the genre, how we feel about it, etc.) beyond the surface-level interpretation of their art is tough to achieve and is largely missing from this album, but there are a couple pieces of evidence that still make me wonder. For example, the confusion of the narrative of "exes" that you mention could be as literal as "I don't know how to feel about exes, sour grapes rationalization, etc." to as figurative as "this pop music isn't any one thing, so let's explore that and maybe just own it." Or maybe its simply the normal formulaic gimmick of writing confusing lyrics so that anybody can insert themselves into the music, hear what they want to hear, and buy/stream more albums. Or maybe nothing means anything anymore and I've dissociated all meaning from my own life, somebody please help me.
I’m honestly with Fantano here. I just found this album really bland and just sounds like pop music made for the radio. The only songs I enjoyed here were greedy and exes, but otherwise there’s better female pop music you can listen to.
We appreciate your insights. Tate McRae is still new in this industry. She's still got some room to improve.

These comments are hilarious 😂 she is still out streaming ur favs
Yes because streams have always translated to success. Streams mean nothing if you don’t have a solid fanbase, most of her engagement on Spotify or music platforms comes from the playing in stores or background noise. She hasn’t made anything worth consuming as an actual well established work yet.
By the way, even with the most copious amounts of Spotify listeners she is not getting a check that clears the way her dog-like fans bark for her. Let’s tone it down & wait until she becomes somebody!
Review the new Hoplites album Paramainomeni please! It’s the most I’ve ever enjoyed avant-garde black metal and it’s the number one album for 2024 on rym right now!

The fact you are measuring this at all is shocking. Even refrencing Miley's "turn" is just wearing more Opium approved brands.
So you’re telling me that this is pop’s answer to NAV?
"I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS" - Billie Eilish
When Melon has the red flannel on, I click as fast as my dad comes back with the cigarettes
Looks like a Pearl Jam dad gone to a Pearl Jam concert and never returned 😂
Kinda generic but fine
Last year it felt like cursed clockwork. I’d get off of a long day at work, turn on some music for the drive home, and that ear-bleeding track “She’s All I Wanna Be” (I refuse to bend to the hipster capitalization skirting) would come on every time. I had to wonder which Eldridge abomination I’d enraged for this to be my punishment. Eventually I developed this Sisyphus complex where I started to enjoy my grueling albatross. However, it ended when it fell off the charts. I heard it again a few months later, and it was like a blind person seeing a burning orphanage first. Saints be praised, my sight is restored! But why would fate be so cruel as to make this be the thing that restores it!? I resent my critical faculties for causing me this much pain.

This was your most in-depth NOT GOOD in awhile! Nice job with your mouth words, Anty Fanty!
Just a full reminder to everyone, that just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean someone else does. That just means it doesn’t caters to your interests. She’s 20 she has so much time to grow and improve
Finally I see someone who feels the same about her music as me.
Shoulda called it Somethin' 'Bout Crae
I saw her live once and she was good
A shame
she’s definitely a way better performer than she is singer or songwriter. she’s a dancer originally after all
@@daniel6678what are you? ah yes unemployed
@@beaualoevv ??? no? is that supposed to be a read or something
I personally liked the album I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as people are saying it is but it’s just my opinion
Do you people ever stop complaining?
Hi! He’s a music critic! Hope that helps!
For all we know, this could be the start of McRae finding her unique style: hockey pop- infectious, danceable pop tunes featuring the ruggedness and protection of hockey equipment and the sleek and chill atmosphere of the sport itself!
