[@stopherlogic]

Props for putting me onto that Moron Police album. Incredible.

[@handyb2000]

Weird, exact opposite for me, was listening to moron police and found this guy mentioned in the comments

[@garrettb.2055]

Andrew yeah I found him after randomly finding the album lmao

[@AshleySmith-dw6wh]

You know the whole ‘yellow flannel’ thing is kind of taken by someone.

[@nonyodambiz]

[@averagebritishguy7082]

Yes, but name me one music critic on KZbin who doesn't want to be Anthony Fantano.

[@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814]

Who the fuck cares if someone else wears a FLANNEL

[@Jaykay1029384756]

Assuming that "Schlagenheim" is pronounced German, your first attempt was spot on. Good job ;)

[@ronstoppable5659]

I’ve seen so many people say that Billie is this generation’s Avril Lavigne and that makes me worried that her career is gonna pan out the same way that Avril’s did, with a promising debut, a fantastic follow up that lived up to that potential, and then it’s all downhill from there and she starts working with generic hitmaker producers like Max Martin in order to stay relevant

[@FatadayKorngor]

Bring Back Kim Possible, Animated Obviously I doubt that that’s gonna happen. Billie knows that Finneas is the only producer that would ever be able to get her vision. Plus, I think she’s smart enough to learn from her inspiration’s shortcomings. Hopefully.

[@ronstoppable5659]

@Fataday Korngor Yeah, I honestly think that she’s better off just working with Fineas, but I would actually be interested in hearing a Butch Walker produced pop rock from Billie at some point though, as long as she avoids people like Max Martin or other hitmaker producers that suck the personality and edge out of every artist they work with (seriously if that’s what Avril sounds like when she’s being produced by him, imagine what he would do to Billie‘s music and creative ideas 😖) she’ll be fine

[@Hola-tq4pg]

and i'm surprised that a lot of people compare her with Avril Lavigne when she is obviously the Evanescence of the Gen Z generation

[@ronstoppable5659]

@Hola123 Both artists had a huge impact on “angsty” teen girls in the early 2000s, like Billie today, I would say that she’s both

[@paisleepunk]

don't worry, i think she's doing fine

[@olliejohnson5158]

5- King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard - Infest the Rats Nest 4- Microwave - Death is a Warm Blanket 3- Baroness - Gold and Grey 2- Bayside - Interrobang 1- Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes - End of Suffering

[@NobleAmbush]

Suprised to see anyone even mention frank carter. Dude has been making amazing music for years and i feel like nobody even knows him. I really didnt like End of suffering when it first came out but it really grew on me. Its really catchy and has some more pop influenced choruses on the album that caught me off guard but in a good way.

I have a good feeling about this rebrand. I loved The Rock Critic, but something about seeing this new aesthetic seems more... natural..? I’m not sure how to phrase it... my point is I have a good feeling moving forward!

[@tayhammer]

wow dude, not only is new Blink album garbage but you have it ranked above Tool?

[@alexbonilla2041]

Oh man, how can you put the new blink 182 album so low

[@taveontimmons5284]

@@tayhammer What can I say, I loved the new Blink record. Not only did it grip emotionally, but musically it's one of the catchiest records they've ever made. I love Tool's new album musically, but emotionally it didn't do much. Still good stuff though.

[@taveontimmons5284]

@Apathy&Exhaustion Hell yeah! Bayside kicked ass this year.

[@harrysmusicchanel8848]

Thank you for this list crash I’m absolutely dying with a hangover and this is exactly what I needed

[@hannahmoran3660]

I just subscribed to you and let me tell you, my gay heart was so happy to see you yelling “SAD GIRL BOPS” over footage of MUNA. Can’t wait to be a subscriber for life 😂💕

[@AmySay]

“Same derpy old chungus” has me laughing WAY harder than it should.

[@bttrl8thnspncr]

I'm really glad the whole jurisdiction issue is gone now because I was honestly DYING to hear what you thought about Billie Eilish's debut and now we all got just that and I'm so glad you dig it!! Can't wait to see where you'll go after your jurisdiction and rebranding switch up!!!

[@loroporoto9978]

Respect for the change in direction, keep it up!

[@howbuska7214]

Neil Peart was a phenomenal drummer. He was an icon, a legend, and a god. R.I.P. Neil, you were an awesome success!😢😭

[@jamesdfd2001]

Man I'm gonna miss the intro music a lot. Nothing beats The Germs man. Great video as always tho Crash

[@UBERradLLAMA]

i love your vids. thanks for all the content. looking forward to what the rebrand brings.

[@jakemcelroy954]

Crashthony Thomtano here

[@dennisavila317]

Love this rebrand crash keep the awesome content coming! Also Neil Peart lives on forever! ❤️🤘🏻

[@RanterInShades]

SOLID list, Crash! I’m glad at least half of these were ones I hyped.

[@makoseda]

RIP Neil Peart. Love the new intro Crash. I might be wrong, but it sounds like Milquetoast by Helmet. Either way list, good show.

[@judaspriestess7947]

Not sure if you are aware of this, but Moron Police just posted a nice shoutout of you on their facebook saying your review was one of their favorites!

[@TheMediaGuy]

I have not hit the point of forcing myself to not listen to Moron Police yet. Seriously. Thank you, Crash, for bringing that band to my attention. Even their back-catalog stuff is technical, Zappa-inspired craziness. They're just so good.

[@jamesthomas3756]

Was kinda surprised to not see Sum 41 on the list, that record was killer!

[@buckeyesfans02]

Thumbs up to: KSE (up there with the Howard era stuff imo) FTTG (Yes, that RATM/Fever 333 tour NEEDS to happen) Strung Out Bad Religion Venom Prison Blink-182 (imo, this should've been the follow-up to the self-titled instead of Neighborhoods) Billie Eilish (The hype is real, good stuff) Fever 333 Whitechapel (It's cool to see deathcore having kind of a revival, fingers still crossed for SS next month) Pup (The puppy riding the turtle got me, awww. great album too lol) Tool (it's a grower) Slipknot (Their best album since Vol. 3, maybe even Iowa... and I liked .5 as well) Rock/metal had an amazing year, Billboard can suck it lol, great way to end the decade. Let's keep it up and start the new one right.

[@matthewroberts3125]

You know, I think I agree with your description of Thank You Scientist and I think that's possibly why I like them so much. Glad you were able to appreciate them 😁👍

[@AduderReviews]

Really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Majority of this list is made up of bands I've never heard so will be fun checking them out. I know Otoboke Beaver though! Love em! 😁🤘🔥

[@zdoggzero6595]

Yeah. I’ll agree on number 1. That album not only came out of nowhere but the impression given to me really rekindled my interest in modern progressive rock along with thank you scientists new record

[@judeodom2428]

Wow this rebranding is refreshing

[@jacobiacobucci8578]

The question is, will “Van Weezer” be on the best list next year? Just have to wait

[@voltscreamratty]

I really hope so. The first single is very promising.

[@brenanhiheloo5158]

Jacob Iacobucci one could hope

[@theboulderboulded5776]

If The End of The Game is anything to go by… yeah hopefully

[@kylehegedus5498]

Knock on wood!!!!

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

I am glad to see Thank You, Scientist make it to your honorable mentions, that is a great band that deserves more love.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Nice Slipknot and Tool top 2. Also RIP to the Professor Neil Peart. The greatest drummer of all time.

[@robiu013]

good recommendations for the new year here. i'm checking out that japanese punk one and i've been slacking on lingua ignota and billie eilish for quite a while. i'd have to disagree on blink-182 and Tool. i guess what i do agree with, is in my Top 10 list: 1. Cult of Luna - A Dawn to Fear 2. Brutus - Nest 3. Moron Police - A Boat at the Sea (this is your fault, Crash) 4. PUP - Morbid Stuff 5. black midi - Schlagenheim 6. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats' Nest 7. La Dispute - Panorama 8. Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race 9. Blut aus Nord - Hallucinogen 10. White Ward - Love Exchange Failure 11. Slipknot - We Are Not Your Kind (honourable mention to one of my teenage years favourite band)

[@panick_9550]

BABY DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is back also i love the new aesthetic crash you look so happy and comfortable and i like the idea of you doing other genres of music

[@panick_9550]

also ive got a huge and vast music taste and im a huge billie elish fan and im happy to see her on the list :)

[@panick_9550]

also i may have found some new stuff to listen to so thank you crash for that just thank you

[@g.i.e]

So many good bois in 2019! Glad to see how comfortable you seem with the new aesthetic Crash. Here are my top three albums of the year. 3. Necrophaze by Wednesday 13 (Delightfully campy and heavy horror punk, tons of spooky fun.) 2. I Want the World by Hands Off Gretel (Raucous, grungy British riot grrl with tons of personality and conviction.) 1. Dark Days Bright Lights by Angel Metro (Gorgeous ethereal glitchy witch house with heartbreaking gothic poetry. Angel's voice is beautiful, her arrangements are beautiful, and her lyrics cut deep. This is that good spooky sad girl music.)

[@zeilian]

i would never have thought in ten years that someday a hip-hop album would be my number 1 favourite album of a year, but IGOR is just too good

[@kameronking4321]

Me too

[@ronstoppable5659]

Same here, favorite album on the rock spectrum in 2019 was Order In Decline though

[@lh757]

Kameron King Me as well

[@kameronking4321]

@@lh757 I love K-12 and Igor since I've been introduced by those artists especially Tyler since the first album I listened to is Wolf

[@averagebritishguy7082]

I didn't listen to many new albums this year. Igor was one of the few I did listen to and AAAAAAAAAAAA

[@Pippland]

My three favorites were The Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ “And Now for the Whatchamacallit,” Babe Rainbow’s “Today,” and Sundara Karma’s “Ulfilas’ Alphabet.” Also really dug Purple Mountains’ self-titled (RIP David Berman) and definitely Gary Clark Jr.’s “This Land.” Oh, and Miss June’s “Bad Luck Party.”

[@eclecticmuso]

Great vid as always, hopefully I get around to listening to some of them at some point, but man I'm finding as I get older I just don't listen to new music as much as I did 5 or 10 years ago. I didn't listen to much new stuff last year, but of the stuff I did listen to I'm pretty sure I can say Ben Kenney's Must Be Nice and The Tea Club's If/When would be pretty damn hard to beat. Yes the incubus bias is strong with Ben's album, but c'mon guys he's just that good and criminally underrated. And The Tea Club is just one of the most pleasant new discoveries I've had in a long time, seriously they are such a good blend of prog rock, folk rock, art rock, with dashes of electronica, and those elements are not easy to meld together so effectively. Like this is all the best elements of classic prog rock, but with dashes of current influences thrown in for good measure. They give me serious Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, vibes while still being able to offer interesting and fresh new takes on the genre. Seriously big thanks to Become the Knight for introducing me to them in his Rock is not dead playlist.

[@dcp10200]

For anyone that's interested, I've made a Spotify Playlist for both the Honorary Mentions and The List Proper in chronological order, partially as a reminder to listen to these records and get some new music into my life, and to see what these albums feel like in one stream of conciousness Honorable Mentions: open.spotify.com/playlist/3vDtwNCO6BVMwFuG0vlXdE The List Proper: open.spotify.com/playlist/4rLOf8LsL6Bth6QDnS9Q2N

[@Devilofthering]

*Looks up Beast in Black. Listens to the first track* Wait... THIS IS FIST OF THE NORTH STAR!!! YOU DIDN'T WARN ME THEY MADE A FIST OF THE NORTH STAR SONG!!!!!! ARRRRGGHHHH! *Saves to Playlist*

[@ospero7681]

You actually had the Black Midi album title pretty much right on your first try. That is, if it's meant to be pronounced like a German speaker would - then again, it's not an existing word. It's a combination of two words that don't go together this way - "schlagen" means "to strike, to beat", "Heim" means "home". I honestly have no idea what they were going for, but considering that the track you played in the background was called "bmbmbm", comprehensibility isn't a first priority for these guys.

[@jewels_the_spoopy_one2002]

Idk what this jingle he plays in the intro. But I can listen to that on repeat.🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@poppunkhater]

I can never thank you enough for the original moron police review. That album and the new tool & blink have been some of my most listened to this year

[@ArtemyMusha]

I got my dad Thank You Scientist's latest album for Christmas, and as I hoped, it was right up his alley. We're both going to see them live in February!

[@Luiantval]

I'd say Moron Police's album is my personal favourite record for the year, too. It's an incredible listen from the very beginning and I don't know how many times I've gone through the album on my drive home from work. The only bad point is that it's too short, though the closer wraps up the album really well. That being said, they're releasing the album in physical form in Japan soon which I believe has 4 extra tracks, and will eventually be released elsewhere and I really can't wait for that.

[@DrNigelBalrog]

The song playing during PUP’s entry isn’t Kids, it’s the title track.

[@routertroubles]

Personally my favorite album of 2019 was Sabaton: The Great War. Here's hoping Crash does a review on sabaton some day, lol

[@nwesmusic]

Great video Crash! How do you balance your life with listening to music?

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

Here's just some of my favorite overall albums this year. Tool - Fear Inoculum Aesop Rock & Tobacco are Malibu Ken - S/T Kill Bill x Rav - New Moon PUP - Morbid Stuff Rival Sons - Feral Roots Fever 333 - STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS Danny Brown - UknowhatI'msayin Moron Police - A Boat on the Sea Sturgil Simpson - Sound and Fury Possessed woulda been on here too, but I haven't had the chance to spin the whole thing. ^ ^;;

[@FlawedCoil82]

For me, Tool, Klone, Evergrey, Soen, Autumn, The Night Time Project, My Epic, Source, Holy Fawn and Starset were my top 10 of 2019. The two albums I am most hyped for (that I know of) in 2020 will be coming from Katatonia and The Birthday Massacre!

[@devinoneill5766]

Yes! That moron police album is absolutely delightful, one of my favs of the year too.

[@lizzymalefic138]

Oh yesss. That time of the year that may or may not fall on the year where I stop binge listening to the same stuff I normally do and get to branch out by like 2cm.

[@drummessiah88]

Too bad you didn't list "Why Me, Why Not?" by Liam Gallagher in the Honorable Mentions! But like you said, so much good music in 2019. Cheers Crash. Another Great vid. Congrats on the rebranding!!

[@smalltowngoth9591]

Surprised to see Drab Majesty here! Made me happy! You should check out some more music coming out of the goth scene. There's been a resurgence in the past couple years. Boy Harsher, She Past Away, Bastet, Bat Nouveau, SRSQ, Ships in the Night. Her Despair's new album Exorcisms of Eroticism is great for cheese factor. It's unapologetic and I love it.

Anybody else thinking Crash is turning into a less pretentious Fantano, I say this as a massive fan of The Melon, and I’m loving it

[@hellonurd8957]

Glad to see you dipping into more genres & stuff. I'll try not to request a shit ton of Pop Punk, Math Rock & Metalcore this year.

[@bradsnyder3119]

Love your reviews. Long time listener. Liam Gallagher - Why Me? Why Not. Not even an honorable mention? What???

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

Can't find anyone talking about WHO by The Who anywhere. It probably wouldn't be more than a honorable mention, but I haven't seen anyone even mention it and it feels underrated now.

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

All This Music Will Fade is a solid contender for my song of 2019. In a world so up shit creek with stupidass lawsuits that murder freedom of creativity, it's nice to see The Who show how it should be; the greats stole, and they never faced repercussions, so why should these upstarts, who may have never even heard what their song sounds like? It's not like the music scale is endless anyway. :P

[@coopercobb8867]

King gizzard, Rival Sons, and Fever333 are my guesses

How about that new Rammstein? That was pretty good. Also check out the new Folkstone that came out in 2019. Kickass Italian Folk Metal with Punk influences, so good

[@49short]

I find it hilarious that you and I have the complete opposite opinion on the whole Blink/AVA/Mark/Tom/Matt/Travis thing. I’m on the side of Blink seems to be struggling/putting way too much effort into trying to grasp onto any iota of relevancy they can manage. I actually laughed out loud when you mentioned Matt being able to stretch his wings on Nine because I was literally having a conversation with my GF the other day on how it feels like Matt is just being asked to write riffs that sound like something Tom would’ve written at the tail end of the 90’s as opposed to him being able to bring some of that Alkaline Trio awesomeness to Blink. On the flip side of that, I feel like the new AVA is pretty good (though it’s very obvious you’re not the biggest fan of them and being a band that can really only be described as 30STM with Tom Delonge singing, I can see why). I’ll wholeheartedly admit a good chunk of my opinion is because my own expectations weren’t met because I really wished new Blink would be a mixture of +44 and Alkaline Trio along with being really bummed to not get to hear what would’ve become of songs like New World and Invisible Parade had Mark and Travis had their input on the writing of those songs.

[@Rhasneth]

Apropos Otoboke Beaver, if you want some interesting Japanese punk, check out Ling Tosite Sigure. It's prog post-hardcore with shoegaze/mathrock elements and lots of high-pitched vocals. Definitely worth a listen.

[@ericb.4313]

Here's another thing to consider with Strung Out: they split with their drummer of 20+ years before. When the album first came out, I was nervous since their first drummer (Jordan Burns) is/was one of the best punk drummers and was a vital part of their sound.
