[@GVBRXEL]

100000/10

[@colinschmitz7688]

This album is fr just a masterpiece I can’t find a album I love more than this one this album has been one of my tops albums for so long I wish he would tour

[@okayokay6177]

Yep same

[@jairzavalalemus3253]

Same bro I usually get bored of a lot of songs even tho I love them but since I hear them so much I kind get bored of them but that doesn’t happen with his music it’s honestly crazy

[@eenfx]

damn this is so crazy, dude dated my sister in middle school and now i see him 7 years later in a fantano review

[@frkin7317]

omg 😂

[@zef1954]

I dated her as well in fact lol. I give the pussy a light to decent 4

[@norwichculturalreport4445]

What did your sis do to him?.

[@samuelwiklund4719]

Cal dated your sister? Nice...

[@theblaccsheeep]

Give Her Thanks. She Caused Him LMaoo

[@typhon6087]

the song Mourn is sonically amazing, so moody and beautiful

[@denmun9722]

never listened to spooky black, but mourn turned me on to corbin...whoa

[@xavierwolfe8749]

Fr

[@sadiemerry456]

fav on the whole album

[@MrTyeMusic]

Couch Potato mediocre EP???? wtf lol

[@TVLuke15]

Right? Fuck this guy.

[@ruinouseffigy8308]

You guys are so edgy

[@xavierwolfe8749]

I'm pissed

[@xavierwolfe8749]

His taste sucks apparently. Unsubbed

[@DeimanFlores]

Melon, if you have a daughter and you don't name her Melonie, I swear to god.

[@alphalax7747]

Melonie martinez

[@okayokay6177]

This is one of the greatest albums released in the last 22 years, absolutely beautiful

[@bloodmonth2k827]

Seriously. Down to the mixing and mastering. It’s fantastic

[@painremains]

"with this dude named bobby raps" wow the disrespect......

[@jakobalgeblad6732]

Did you just call Couch potato bad? That album was amazing!

[@skinnyboyyk6240]

Jakob Algeblad right

[@user-bv9nc8cr2f]

Couch Potato is one of my favourite albums from the last couple of years. Fantano should have cleaned his ears out before listening.

[@reticent866]

frozen tundra is such a fire fucking song.

[@hellbxymedia5027]

Seriously Couch Potato is amazing. I just think guy needs to take an acid trip while listening to🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Prezzihoe]

Exactly

[@llaves973]

U buggin fold up is amazing

[@thelordfosk]

I have been listening to this album for years....and I always come back to this review just to feel like I'm discovering it all over again. I can't wait till another 3 or 4 years... This is going to be in rotation till the day that I'm rotting.

[@rileystewart3170]

New one is out

[@dillonprocell1236]

I still listen to Without U unironically sometimes.

[@user-ht7dm4cs3x]

Dillon Procell same. Love this track

[@dillonprocell1236]

It is a beautiful song, no doubt. I just have known people who couldn't get past the video enough to take him seriously.

[@kassychavira]

^ honestly. I probably like the song more due to the video.

[@cchampa17]

you should let yourself enjoy the things you like instead of letting other peoples opinions decide how you consume them

[@iZkingzz]

Reason is my favorite track

[@DatGreekGamer]

wait a minute... cal and anthony are wearing the same ring...i finally figured it out!! they are married!

[@CashewChestnuts]

yup

[@theguyinthere]

this is the DOOMER album

[@justina5688]

Am I the only one who finds "no title" to be the best song in the album? I mean the instrumental is amazing, the lyrics are and tone of it really hit me hard, and the ending breakdown of the instrumental and the last few lyrics match so perfectly. Really blown away by that song.

[@wulfdoe]

it's so much better than ice boy and mourn, easily the best song on the album by far. dissappointed melon didn't even mention it.

[@justina5688]

wholesome memes He does mention it briefly. He basically says it started off good but the flow of it was off and it ended on a low note for him. Basically saying he only like the first half. Idk tho I see what he's saying but I still love the song. I do agree with what he said about the fold up. I've heard that song live and thought it was great but I think the auto tune he put on his voice at some parts was really bad and the beat didn't match with what the album was consistently doing. I still think by itself the song is good but it was out of place and some parts were not done very good production wise.

[@die4guy454]

justin a the fold up easily best song

[@nimuroja9494]

justin a YES I FUCKING LOVE THAT SONG BRO, ITS SO FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL

[@natkat777]

its my favorite song off the album

[@tone_valentine]

Oh shit this is Spooky Black?

[@offlnegamer]

so happy you reviewed this, one of my favorite projects all year... to me, that XXX album was not for the depressed, it was so forced.. THIS is for the depressed, truly, spooky really made something.

[@rooftopsignals7313]

Carlos Cruz you should try tge new Xiu Xiu album, "Forget".

[@user-bv9nc8cr2f]

xxx is false sad.

[@DenonBoyofthe21stCentury]

I saw him live last year a week after this dropped. He really wasn’t doing well :( his voice was so stripped and tired and you could hella see his spine. I hope he’s doing okay now.

[@jesuschrist3000ADHD]

X dickriders are the fake sad

[@horsejumperoflove]

brandon boof. Shut the fuck up.

[@thecardboardrobot]

Completely disagree with the fold up, my favorite track

[@charlierussell1433]

agreed however couch potato ep will forever be the most beautiful and most raw ep ever recorded. its the one for me i always come back to eventually after exploring other artists/albums etc... bobby raps' production compliments corbins vocals so well you can feel the pain in his voice (which has deffo improved over time) but bare in mind he was 16 when this came out...couch potato got me hating myself and loving myself at the same time you can tell this shit is just honest and real ....plus its mad to listen to on a comedown

[@Diablow101]

5 years later I totally agree, one of my favorite albums by far

[@chrisstylez89]

I think his review is on point but "the fold up" is the best song on the album in my opinion

[@weebtrash6119]

YES

[@AAKARSHITMUSIC]

No title is dope too

[@brandibaria9199]

i fucking love that song

[@matishav.1.849]

It's so good

[@ember-x9o]

Still waiting on Ghost With Skin where u at

[@crystalvengeance2862]

I was a Huge Spook fan but i liked him kinda ironically, i honestly didnt think this album would be THIS good.

[@hahadasitmane]

Yung Soundcloud Liked him ironically? he's always been good at singing

[@mariaFlores-cm7ie]

Yung Soundcloud this album was shit

[@tim3378]

ah you forgot to put a 'the' before 'shit' you're welcome

[@TheTacticalMess]

You don't have to say you liked him ironically fam lol. Don't let people with a pretentious view of music take your enjoyment away from his older stuff. It was always pretty decent.

[@AtlasMvm]

Greg ya his old stuff def seemed kinda inconsistent but some songs were really good

[@ilovecody7514]

Damn, more shots at XXXTENTACION.

[@ilovecody7514]

TheDragoonFactor Lol, true.

[@joereitan]

He was moreso criticizing peoples reaction of X's video

[@fairnenough]

Joe Yeah, by comparing them to Cal who's character is supposed to be a musical pleb. So basically he's calling them dumb lol

[@joereitan]

Bill Cosby exactly. Fantano's great at incorporating satire. It's sad often seeing so many people failing to comprehend the message

[@KevinGarcia-fq3su]

TheDragoonFactor I keep seeing you on Paul Joseph Watson's comment section on his X video

[@one_man_community]

He didn't like The Fold Up... Hunker Down isn't in his top picks. I'm mostly just... confused?

[@sugarrookieart]

This album is still an absolute 10/10 for me I swesr on my life

[@GVBRXEL]

GHOST WITH SKIN

[@ch4se]

NEW CORBIN IN A FEW DAYS

[@stayalivefriend]

SO EXCITED

[@professorcrap.8437]

If I hear another Corbin Blue joke I'm gunna neck myself.

[@bradenlee5833]

Corbin has a new music video for "Hunker Down" out now

[@drewbanx]

Still holds up today, especially on drives

[@MrTryoutt]

Still listen to this album every day

[@Seancrampton]

Surprised 'The Fold Up' wasn't well liked, probably my favourite track. I agree that the falsetto was a bit strange but I thought the songwriting/storytelling on it was amazing.

[@wyliemiller3255]

Anthony dude , its time to review ghost with skin !

[@spiddlemyfiddle]

i think you're wrong about his falsetto on the fold up, melon. i liked it a lot, and thought it fit great.

[@TheRausing1]

Glad you did this review- such a sick album and Corbin deserves more recognition I think

[@wulfdoe]

No Title, best song on the album easy

[@USMCLP]

No, the title track is.

[@natkat777]

so true

[@marcusgoins3598]

it’s never enough

[@violetchantress5796]

Revenge Song literally transferred pain to me... that song cuts like a knife

[@joelrobertson6520]

I just realized this guy looks like a berry or do you people think he looks like another type of fruit?

[@senseiparks]

pretty sure people say banana idk

[@MisterRawgers]

Joel Robertson maybe an apple

[@DeimanFlores]

Joel Robertson I'm feeling a decent kiwi cuz of that fuzz on his face.

[@pieck5460]

Looks like a mango head to me

[@crabPEOPLE2000]

onion boi

[@ewenvanni9309]

Dis dude is wrong 2 years later this is still my favorite fuckin album

[@OscarGeronimo]

Thanks, melon. When straight to go listen to the album after listening a bit and checking the genres listed... I found a piece of my hear. And 40 bucks in a bag, but that was lost actually. The piece of heart I never knew I missed it. Thanks.

[@virgilgoodwin6446]

Dude you are one of the best music reviews ever, I don't need to tell you that, but I only hope this strokes your ego a bit and you end up writing a book sometime. From music head to the other you have broaden my scopes and helped me articulate my own views on the thing that is there with out you or me

[@jaredbourgain7111]

I know your current content keeps you busy but I would love to see you make a few playlists for different moods. Generally I think you're spot on at hearing the tone of tracks and think it would be cool to see some of your favorite tracks for different moods

[@neverletthemusicstop]

Have you ever reviewed the album of The Stand4rd, that has Corbin and Allan Kingdom in it?

[@sineadkennedy7644]

can you do a review of his new album

[@Jofundy.]

AYEE he actually reviewed this!! You highkey disrespected Bobby raps tho!!

[@andychlaifer8829]

i didnt even expect him to cover this album

[@squeegee_ouija]

I’m super late to this whole review, but I’ve been listening to Corbin and Bobby Raps heavily for a couple years now, and I’m entirely convinced that he’s joking about the Couch Potato LP… the quality isn’t amazing, but they also were not professionals at the time of its conception, I think it’s a great intro to both of their catalogues.

[@nolk45467]

NEEDLE WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WICCA PHASE SPRING ETERNAL PLEASE RATE ANY OF HIS ALBOM PLS :DDDDD

[@JudySmilestv]

I LOVE this thing. super emotional. His voice is amazing it sounds like if Sampha recorded his music in a dark castle

[@voided4844]

Can someone tell me why he always had that flying lotus record in the back? Is that like one of his favs or somethin?

[@iiiVSoPiii]

Subbed, very good description

[@Ramperhappy]

first i was confused, but then i really tried too (Walk In Your Shoes)and in a split second i could literaly see the moustache in motion. And i could see that it functions as a Analog Filter. But instead of letting a speccffic portion of the sound pass through, it magically turns all the sounds in audible Doodoo( or Kakka)

[@penthouseoblivion]

amazing album. thanks for the review. It was really thorough.

[@FaustoRomano9]

Could you do a review of the album drive north by swmrs?

[@jailanwilliams4486]

Hey Mr. Fantano, I really appreciate what you do with your KZbin channel and how you review albums. However, two albums that I think you should review next are The Spectrum by Daley and Freudian by Daniel Caesar, I think you may like them.

[@Omajdascz]

Cant wait for the review of the new album thats gonna drop tmrw :)

[@Stollek]

This Album is in my personal top 10 and i guess it will stay there for my whole life...

[@SanctuaryADO]

my boy, review I'm Brain soon. personally i quite like it but you were fairly critical about his first album. i'd like to hear your thoughts.

[@RealTrachta]

I'm gonna check this out, you seem pretty passionate about it

[@celinevallejo9771]

I'm so happy you reviewed this. SO HAPPY BLESS

[@KvatchIsInDanger]

Good review, I'll check the album. I'll be seeing Corbin w/ Shlohmo and D33J at El Club later this month.

[@mb9284]

KvatchIsInDanger I did the flyer for that show

[@KvatchIsInDanger]

Ah that's sweet! How did you get into designing flyers? What other graphical designs do you do?

[@mb9284]

KvatchIsInDanger just fell into it! I do a lot for El Club. Did that Danny Brown flyer, etc

[@zef1954]

M B that's awesome, what's your twitter??

[@KvatchIsInDanger]

Everyone with cool jobs seems to have 'fallen into it'. Makes me feel better about not completing school as of yet, lol. I appreciate your work. I've been coming to El Club regularly for a little while now. They house some great talent. I have plans for about a dozen or so more shows in the next couple months. I already have tickets bought for the Shlohmo set, Shigeto's record release, and Underachievers meet & greet.

[@francislyons632]

Listen to his performance of "the fold up" at BEACH GOTH, in my opinion it's sounds way better than the studio version

[@SwampBane]

Recently became a fan of Corbin, you should review his new album Ghost With Skin

[@manicbeats9356]

He sort of did and said he was very disappointed. I personally love it and prefer it to Mourn but there you go...

[@jeffhull3616]

@@manicbeats9356 yeah I prefer ghost with skin but I’d agree mourn is more impressive vocally

[@haschio]

Need a review to his new album ✊🏼

[@peacebone420]

It's his best work by far in my opinion. I've had it on repeat since it dropped.

[@Scoothare]

@@peacebone420 Really? I didn't feel it really topped mourn. Felt like he lost a lot of his iconic and unique personality music-wise since 2017.

[@andyjohnson5695]

@@peacebone420 that shit was a MASSIVE step backwards from Mourn. Really disappointing he didn’t push the envelope further

[@user-bv9nc8cr2f]

My review of his new album is 0/10. I didn’t enjoy a minute of it.

[@natkat777]

so when are u gonna review Ghost With Skin

[@hatemsf4285]

Can you do concrete and gold by the foo fighters, it recently dropped

[@USMCLP]

I honestly enjoy every song thoroughly except The Fold Up. The Beach Goth 2016 live version is amazing, especially with the screaming and intensity Corbin delivers on it which isn't really matched on the album version at all. Minus that, this album has incredible replay value, especially with the song Mourn in particular with its haunting trap beat that almost seems hypnotizing. I've listened to that song everyday for months now. All in all, solid 8.5 in my opinion.

[@sup4528]

THANK GOD. I WAS GETTING PISSED THAT YOU HADN'T REVIEWED THIS YET! LOVE YOU MELON

[@SantoVacio]

Corbin/spooky black still underrated

[@xMitaaa]

Although I'm a fan of many of the "sad" artists that you have slammed in the past, I have to say I 100% agree with you on this one, Corbin definitely did not disappoint.
