Descendents - Hypercaffium Spazzinate ALBUM REVIEW

[@cookiejar17ing]

Do a classic review of Milo Goes To College

[@garymalarkey4626]

I could have sworn that he already did. I know he's talked about that album before.

[@Panzer731]

I would prefer him not to. If he's going to be as picky as this, i wouldn't like it. Feels kinda bias tho. I mean: He clearly does not understand why "Without love" is a great song. He thinks it's cheesy, and i can see why. But Descendents ARE cheesy. Besides, there's too many things good about this album. Like the track "No fat burger", in wich they reference to "I like food". "Beyond the music" is conceptually linked to "I quit" and "Thank you". He's just reviewing it because it's trending, not because he knows what the band is about or cares about what this means for the fans, or just for the Descendents as a band. I mean, so many points on this review are so wrong i could go on and on. But fuck it, i dont care. I'm not totes mad a fandango for this, i probably could give a shit review to a noise album he loves.

+Obeso Gracioso lolololol dude that's spot on

[@Panzer731]

TheMeatballMen ty hahaha

[@andrewvallee5738]

+Obeso Gracioso I agree with all you've said but doesn't that just reinforce his point that the album and the songs presented are in fact made for the fans, no?

[@juziu66]

Not mentioning the incredible bass lines in this album is a crime

[@blankface1904]

Descendents have amazing bass it pretty much all their works.

[@joaquin5929]

I know this comment is old but he literally praises a specific bassline in the video lol

[@sefgray]

I respectfully disagree. This is a solid Descendents album.

[@huntingtonbeachkbd]

The album is garbage

[@Mr-overseer-762]

@@huntingtonbeachkbdyour just wrong have you heard on paper?!

[@Dypah]

nah this album was better than a 5 FOR SURE

[@sillypenta]

yes

[@PulseTrip]

absolutely better than a 5 - even though it's his own opinion

[@genericusername4863]

true

[@csm.andrew]

A 7 for me

[@DaKoolAidGuy101]

You do understand that a 5 is half of 10. So theoretically, half of the songs are good

[@xcarlupanddiex]

their "real" comeback record was "Everything Sux" on Epitaph anyway

[@strawberyypeels8722]

yeah

[@wheezvonklaw284]

Yes it was.

[@craigpatrick1]

Agreed !

[@livinginoklahomacityofficial]

[@kentvandervelden]

I learned of the Descendents after working with Milo for a while at DuPont, and love seeing their name pop up unexpectedly :)

[@cleoz9274]

I actually really liked the album. Does it suffer from too much pop sensibilities? Yes. But so does any commercially successful "punk" album of the last 25 years. They just slowly but surely embraced the pop punk. The real problem with this album for me was that it came out 20 years too late. Judging by it's sound alone, this is a 96-98 album. Which is kind of... odd. I immediately went into nostalgia mode, as I was listening to it. For some reason it reminded me of my first time listening to a Bad Religion album back in 97. But for that specific era in music this would have been a 4/5 album. But yeah, it's kind of strange to listen to these melodic progressions and sentiments in the 2000 teens.

[@justshootemgaming5761]

Wtf does the time period have to do with anything?

[@superunknown2812]

Yeah i see your point with this album but its still good

[@nonyashblob]

[@Rlutz815]

You're clearly not a Descendents fan

[@blankface1904]

It's a review of the album on the merits of the album by it's self not a review of the album based on his previous biases. Descendents are on my top 3 favorite bands ever but I found it hard to get through this album and I just didn't like it that much. Anthony is a big hc fan and one of the first things he says is that he loves their discography. You clearly let your biases blind you from the fact that it's a 5/10 ep.

[@bjorksarmpits148]

He just said he’s a huge fan of their early discography

[@Mistergorehound]

Spineless and Scarlet Red is the best song on this album.

[@TOSmoon471]

Based

[@eltrucc9091]

I like testosterone and grindstone

[@BarfyMan_362]

"They don't sound the same as they did when they first started!" Obviously they're going to write more mature lyrics, w/e though to each his own I guess :/

[@blankface1904]

Pretty much this but thing is it doesn't have that Descendents feel, it sounds like you're clean cut "studio punk album". I don't feel the emotion I feel off of they're other works. it's not some cookie cutter album like cool to be you though.

[@danielflorio4739]

I love all Descendents albums. "All" is probably their best after MGTC.

[@baranov4638]

Everything sux is pretty fucking good. I listened to it before MGTC lol

[@vinilopez4566]

all? ................NO, ALL!!!!!!!

[@pkrockin3923]

I dont want to grow up, All, and Cool to be you.

[@Ruhrohraggy7]

MGTC is overhyped imo

[@firebason]

It's a decent album. Definitely better than Cool to be You.

[@littlebigbadbambi]

Man, looks like you didn't get the pack with the spazzhazard EP inside and the artwork that glows in the dark and the lyrics and the drawings of Milo in the lab. This record is pure fun man! And you give it a decent 5? Not agree, again.

[@JasonTopo]

you just try to be like thatistheplan

[@post.hack.depression]

Very original comment, 8/8

[@CriticsConfession]

Without Love is literally the best song on the album lmao

[@IWALVG]

- Praises the new Weezer album for being a return to their old style - Says this album is mediocre because it sounds too much like Descendents' old style Hmm.

[@buzzardsinuses4780]

A fucking 5?! Are you fucking kidding me? I love this record! It’s one of my favorite albums by them. I’d say at least a 7.

[@NumberD2000]

This album was the first one I heard by them. I like punk and when my friends introduced me to these guys I wasn't dissapointed. However, now that I've been listening to them for a few months I can see where this is coming from.

[@superunknown2812]

Your just eatin back too life

[@CommonSenseless1993]

It's a 6 or 7 out of 10 in my opinion.

[@kennyvanwormerjr.8232]

Toom me a few years to want to check this album out...and I'm glad I did, I think this album is great!

[@sillypenta]

disagree

[@brr8275]

Why does anthony look exactly like cartoon milo

[@Brandon_Parra]

Personally, this album was a great one for me. Shameless halo, on paper, limiter all great songs and the bass lines on these songs were awesome. However, this was the album that made me listen to everything from the past like FAT and honestly, I could see why you only give it a 5 but for me I always listen to this album now and I’d personally give it an 8.5. Maybe I’m putting too much emphasis on nostalgia as this is my first descendants album.

[@larrydong5746]

I loved this record. However, I love every record the Descendents have ever put out. One of my favorite bands of all time. Can't wait to see them in October.

[@robertpoole5652]

I honestly thought this album was amazing! Musically it is onpar with old stuff and lyrically aswell as vocally I think Milo sounds great, maybe even better now then he has. I can not find one album by them I do not love though. They tend to be the most consistent band

[@johnnyscifi]

Everything Sucks is actually my favourite. Cool to be you, I also really like!!!

[@syedammarabbas]

>conveniently forgets to switch out the death grips albums off the shelf i see you tony

[@evan2992]

Milo Goes to College and I Don't Want to Grow Up are classics. Wasn't too crazy about this album either.

[@paptheman6260]

Honestly, this is the first album I heard from them and I love it ! One of fav bands is A Wilhelm Scream so take that for what it is but the melodies and sing-a-long vocals are awesome

[@mountaverage2706]

Favorite tracks: No Fat Burger, We Got Defeat, Spineless And Scarlet Red Least favorite tracks: Shameless Halo, Beyond The Music, Smile

[@TheBloopperson]

human being sounded like an old descendents song, it was an ok album, but it's great to see they're still doing things.

[@khaegii]

Ok, its time ... why haven't you reviewed IAMX's latest album "Metanoia"? I really thought it was one of the best albums of the last 6 months and I haven't heard you mention it once. PLS REVIEW IT. TY!

[@ERGTDK]

I'd give the album maybe a light 6. I enjoyed the bursts of energy that the track list had to offer. A large majority of the album I'm indifferent towards, but it certainly has a strong opening with Victim of Me and On Paper, even if that is then counter balanced by Shameless Halo (IMO the 2nd worst track on the record) and then another train qreck with No Fat Burger. I like the album for sure, but I really do agree with you on about every negative you pointed out about the album. The whole mid section of this album has overlong "saccharine" songs that remind me of something off of one of Days Go By. IMO most of the tracks that go past 2 minutes are a no go, Fighting Myself excluded. One thing I really admire is that they are still able to put out atleast decent albums after 30+ years, and haven't descended into a poppy mess like Blink-182 or the Offspring have

[@jon8192]

Anthony Fantano here, and I stink at reviewing albums because I refuse to acknowledge Tonedeff - Polymer is better than everything this year.

[@YgoSilica]

Going through all of AnthILostMyWillToLiveony Fantano's reviews and adding his favorite tracks from them to a playlist did NOT do me wrong.

[@mytesttickles4138]

Dude... Enjoy was good. I always laugh at the fart outakes. Never gets old

[@JyGhAa]

that death grips in the background. still waiting for my copy.

[@lisafenixx]

I was disappointed in this album. But I still love them! lovethony youtano

[@keni8109]

Would love some old school ambient D&B reviews

[@ReeseGhost]

"On Paper" is one of my favorite songs, I was expecting to hate this review but this was totally accurate, I think it deserves at least a 6 though, for most old bands that make a new album after a couple years, I'm totally content with 2 or 3 good songs.

[@glman99]

I know you get a ton of request and questions, but I was wondering if you've heard switchfoot's new record, and what you thought of it!

[@scruffyp9480]

It pains me to say I totally agree. Still kinda sounds like them but not a memorable song throughout. I don't feel the same about "Cool to be you" though. That's a classic.

[@ComradeStanimir]

-Critiques ham fisted political messages -Blows Kendrick Lamar

[@obnoxiousNoxy]

i have to disagree, i like this record quite a lot

[@BeastlyAnteater]

Milo Goes to College is such a good album, I've never liked their subsequent records but I'll always love the descendants purely for that one contribution to music

[@broke.on.records]

So you think Show Me The Body is interesting but don't like this record? Guy. Also, this isn't a "comeback record." Descendents haven't gone anywhere. They've been playing shows often since the last record. Some of these songs have been written a while ago. Descendents are one of the sharpest bands in punk and always have been. This record is better than any punk record you've given a positive review to this year, all bands who likely who cite Descendents as a source. Light 5? Guess you hate fun my guy.

[@azychals]

I really liked this record

[@opencarrydrift6308]

listen to "the frights" newest album "you are going to hate this" even though it's a few months old. honestly the best album I've heard in a while

[@Puppets_Aphids]

I disagree, I understand what you are getting across, but I find this album very intriguing in ways that the others aren't like you said, but I liked it a lot! I would give it a 7!

[@Yours2Keep138]

A 5? I guess that's better than what I'd give your review on this album.

[@santiagomilano4172]

just use your bottomless pit vinyl as an excuse to re-review the album so you can give it the 10 it deserves

[@somaliwarlord3754]

maybe not for fantano, but I'd have to say this is one of the best comeback records to date.

[@andrewvallee5738]

I absolutely love Without Love and smile, I think they're the best tracks on the album tbh

[@nickpeterson1914]

I think its best in the background. I Personally like Fat Burger. It was the song that was like "Yeah these guys are over 50"

[@bowser3044]

I really can’t disagree with you more on your take here dude. This Album rules, bands evolve; you shouldn’t be expecting 60 year old dudes to make the same songs they did in when they were in their 20s.

[@ExperimentLife]

I feel like Joe Strummer is the only one who evolved away from punk rock and still made amazing music.

[@juliangonzalez6215]

lol that thumbnail though

[@YoDawgoneeleven]

The best thing this album has to offer imo is nostalgia. There's still a few good tracks on it though. 6/10

[@saltycrotchwhiff3946]

Sorry, I cannot accept your arrogant, undersophisticated and immature review. This album is great and certainly better than most punk records published in the recend years.

Can you review the new Dinosaur Jr album "Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not". Thanks.

Amen man! Is it really that hard for a guy to ask for some overly distorted guitar tones + maybe some out-of-tune chords here and there + some off tempo drum fills or random cymbal crashes + strained vocals?! Jeez! Also, can we all agree that Smile is worst song in history of mankind ever written?! I mean, really Milo?? You write a song about your close friend suffering from depression and health problems??? Duuuuude that aint punk!

[@bordem4090]

without love, smile, comeback kid are all awful songs, then there are 4 or 5 pretty good songs not great, then there are 7 or 8 songs that are really good bordering on great, and basically work so well because of the energy and pace they carry, despite the mostly contradictory lyrics about the band aging; these are fun songs... my favs are limiter, testosterone, feel this, no fat burger, fighting myself. It's a good album by the ageless Descendents, 8 out of the first 11 tracks are the best music on this album, after that the next 5 songs to end the album are all pretty weak, despite maybe 1 or 2 for some people. ...strong 6 to light 7... I can't wait for their next album to come out next decade. lol seriously look at every release they've had since "All" (87'), "Everything Sucks" (96'), "Cool to be You" (04'), "Hypercaffium Spazzinate" (16') ... "Catheter's and False Teeth" (24')
