>Comparing Korn/Skrillex collab to Igorrr Fantano the salt farmer

[@SevObzen]

Yeah he was comparing one specific song to it not the whole of Igorrr. What about that is trolling/salt farming?

[@Z4J3B4NT]

@@SevObzen comparing a visionary avant-garde, almost underground musician which basically introduced a whole new style of music to a production project between two multimillion dollars worth performers.

[@nottrevorallen]

also besides that, that korn track is kinda garbage anyways. its just generic ass rock juxtaposed with some dubstep sounds without any thought put into it other than "both of these things make money" and has the musical complexity of hot cross buns its fair to say its not the most apt comparison that could be made here

[@nottrevorallen]

@Owen Donahue if you like that type of stuff sure. i went back and gave some of it a listen and it sounds generic as always but i wont call it 'bad" its not comparable to igorrr though, its def an apples and oranges thing

[@Nyconbr]

That was one of the dumbest comparison I've ever seen between rock and electronic music. He sounded like a kid from 2012 who just started listening to dubstep and has only this album as a reference.

[@Iuhani]

Hot damn never expected Igorrr on here. Everybody asks for hip hop and rap but the variety if artists and genres covered is were this channel really stands out.

[@TheXioChan]

i've been listening to igorrr since forever and i've always loved their unique style as you mention several times, and savage sinusoid didn't leave me hanging at all. from their earlier works it does strongly feel like they have refined their sound and ideas a lot. loved the album.

[@XxBaused667xX]

I believe this is also the first album where Igorrr doesn't use samples for everything? I heard something like that where he was searching for a drummer that can do the speedy Grindcore drumming that you can hear in majority of the album. I'm just glad Fantano can give it a 7 despite me wanting him to give it a 8 or higher lol

[@TheXioChan]

personally i would have rated it higher to be honest. also yeah igorrr has sampled and remixed a lot of his earlier works, including chopin. (which shouldnt be a surprise.)

[@XxBaused667xX]

- It's cool, some of Anthony's claims I couldn't agree with and unlike him I thought Au Revoir was a great closer lol, it's OK he at least took the time to listen to it, it's not like his opinion is objective but I do wish he could have appreciated this album and all of Igorrr's previous works a little more

[@TheXioChan]

everything is not for everyone. but i'm glad he stayed objective.

[@XxBaused667xX]

- Yeah, at least now more people will know the weird genius that is Igorrr! (god I found out about the dude through Whourkr, good times)

[@johnbazy]

Igorrr has a similar effect to Frank Zappa or Igorrr Stravinsky. It's when you have amazing musical passages, ideas and performers but there's constantly a questionable element to the music which isn't too easy to get over. There's been stories of Zappa's alumni who had overheard him composing songs and said "that's perfect", and afterwards he would throw in increasingly strange elements to what was already a masterpiece. It's a whole different way of making music, and I think Igorrr is a solid part of that mentality. Also, Savage Sinusoid is 100% sample free. They recorded everything they use on it.

[@Timmsh88]

that's a very interesting way to view this music

[@sabjekill]

@MomoTheBellyDancer Self-recorded samples are just audio tracks, the characteristic of a sample is that it is extracted from other existing material.

[@harrikarppinen3749]

@MomoTheBellyDancer So basically nowadays all music is just samples. I dare to say that majority of music is recorded to digital audio. 😁

[@aramisvanaquin827]

"Igorrr Stravinsky" you fuckin madman

[@EduardoMoroni-uq9ht]

People, listen to Igorrr's Halleluyah, is one of the most mind blowing music experiences.

[@TheCivildecay]

My morning ritual is: -Make coffee -Turn on Laptop -Go to youtube -Play 'Absolute Psalm'

[@sfglim5341]

Agreed! Love that album its phenomenal

[@enlightenedgroyper2956]

>Not giving this a 10 yeah, no, sorry that is factually incorrect

[@pyril]

this album totally blew me away. especially the vocals on ieuD just feel so raw and real. i'd never think black metal and breakbeats would work well together but this one caught me off guard.

[@OurFoundingLiars]

This album is training super soilders for the upcoming civil war through binary beats. Igorrr represents the assistant of the horrorific Frankenstein monster that was set loose on the village. The 7/10 represents the expected causality ratio. Keep asking questions. Investigate the melon

[@magemaroon5085]

Have you listened to his collaboration with Ruby My Dear "Maigre"? It's some of my favorite of his and their work.

[@migueldiaz3262]

Bump.

[@Yell0wCheese]

This is hands down my AOTY. 9/10

[@migueldiaz3262]

I agree with this rating. My personal favorite lol

[@pokemon10222]

I never heard my name this many times...

[@NoLoveDeepWeb]

Glad to hear you're digging an Igorrr album at last man. That said I couldn't disgree with you more on this. I mean not with your assesment, I think you're totally correct on that this is his most concise and well blended effort at bringing these genres of music into the same place, but by it being more palatable it actually draws away from the uniqueness of his music. The metal/breakcore blends on this album sound more standard of genre spaning metal-core bands like Destrage, or even a little Protest the Hero. Yes with a little more of a black-metal edge due to the blast beats and savage vocals of Öxxö xööx, but everything here seems to fall more into order and structure, that for the first time ever made an Igorrr album mostly feel predictable for me. I mean even with albums like Hallelujah, which I've listened to a good 50/60 times, I still never feel like an 'Igorrr moment' is predictable, exactly because it's just this sudden break. Even with the sudden nature it never really detracted from the rhythem and dancy tone of the tune. As well as that it allowed for songs like Pavor Nocturnus or Corpus Tristis to have such emotional leverage simply because they derailed this train of juxtapositioned intensity with such emotional seriousness that the 50,000 BPM your heart is beating at by this point suddenly flatlines, and all you can do is lie on the floor and weep or scream. Either way though man, as I said, I'm glad you're vibing with Igorrr at last, and hope you can start to get a feel of what appeals most of his earlier releases for me. Hope you enjoyed my opinion man :)

[@notabillyjoelfan]

I don't know how this doesn't get at least a nine by anyone. It's a masterwork

[@ManateeMentality]

Anthony you should listen to a collaborative EP between Igorrr and Ruby My Dear called "Maigre". It has a few dubstep sounds here and there but they're able to pull them off in this context. It's more interesting in my opinion than Savage Sinusoid.

[@GalvakzaMusic]

Yes! Barbeque is my favourite from that. I dunno if I think it's more interesting than SS but it's still really good.

[@SapphireTNT]

Maigre is their best ep and album

[@migueldiaz3262]

Bump.

[@deadasfak]

To me it's easily a 9/10

[@cinnamoncoffeecake5925]

I've asked you to review this a couple times never thinking you would, but it's great to hear opinion on an underrated album, this album grows on me every day that passes

[@hawtshaymin]

i think this is the first time i don't see eye to eye with you about an artist. i haven't listened to this album yet, but going through igorrr's discography i love it all very intensely and have for years. huh. i guess it does happen.

[@fury5500]

I can't wait to listen to this album. It's a shame you didn't appreciate the earlier albums, they are top notch to me.

[@mintaka_soulmade]

I don't know how this guy is "analysing" music and where he sees the ridicule. For me, Igorrr is mindblowing ART. Meaningful, beautiful, soothing art. Genius.

[@ethandeardorff8559]

His collaboration with Ruby, My Dear is honestly such a pivotal and insane EP in my opinion. I highly recommend you listen to it if you haven't already. They create these anxiety-ridden breaks with such savagery and brutality and just as you're about to throw the headphones off of your skull they release all the tension with just a few blissful seconds of orchestral or synth-based leads, just enough to lull you into a false sense of security and then before you know your face is plunged back into the thick of it. They know their audience well and know exactly when the breaking point for such sounds are, and use that to their advantage. EXTREME musical talent. Not only for composing and creating such overly complex arrangements, but for being able to time them to absolute perfection.

[@Alexander-mw1ek]

It’s weird to hear someone say that the sounds in Halleluyah clash. I have shown that album to many people, most of whom hate or at least don’t listen to all of the genres that are included on that album, and people generally react with something along the lines of “I didn’t know I could like electronic music so much” or “Wow, that was the most beautiful screaming I’ve ever heard”.

[@dustmemories9937]

It's like he removed almost every trace of Breakcore here. Eh.

[@filiparsovski4250]

yeah not the biggest fan of that decision either, still an awesome album tho

[@ambrosia3907]

Robet's pretty breakcore-ish

[@CheckeredFedora]

I just listened to a track off of this thing, "Houmous." That track is ridiculous, and I don't know if I like it, but damn is it unique.

[@ambrosia3907]

If you don't know if you like it, then you'' definitely love it at some point.

[@newflesh666]

It's a song that literally does everything

[@24Oscarr]

My favorite igorrr song is brutal swing

[@simbosatosa65]

Out of all of the Igorrr albums this isn't my favorite, But I feel like he has came into his own the most on this album and really found his sound and what he is going for with Igorrr. His other albums just sometimes felt like a amalgamation of all of his influences and it felt forced. But I am excited to see what he puts out next and on how he perfects his sound

[@kingdavid99887766554]

I'm a big fan of Igorrr and other works by Serre, so I'm fully aware of my bias. Overall, I thought the album took an interesting twist departing from previous works in that all tracks are recorded with analogue input (I read it somewhere, don't take my word for it). Older albums have more of a synthetic quality to them, which I adore. Robert, on this album, was in my opinion not a garish display but a (albeit not very subtle) callback to earlier work. I liked the album as a whole, but Robert really stood out for me. It reminds me of Alain, which is another of my favourites of his. That being said, I enjoy your show and opinion, Anthony. Please keep up the good work, I look forward to more of your well-put reviews.

[@Cmmf_]

Honestly, I'm an igorrr superfan. I was introduced to him by the song mastication numerique. It's a bit like humous but less vocals and more instrumental. And that's what I think put a lot of people off who were introduced to igorrr early who heard this album was. There's way more vocals than previous iterations. But then again there are still those tracks that give that feel in the previous albums with just the instrumental. Which doesnt make it bad, it just makes it objectively "different" in a way. Ive always held the stance that igorrr is a musician's musician, only fully accepted by (albeit us musicians are all kinda crazy in a way) people who can coherently put all the "genres" aside and just listen, because that for me, is when I understood it. Hallelujah is still my favorite album with nostril being second, only because of the previous statement of the vocals. This album is still great, dont let my previous statements take from that. The vocalists are always crazy good, and they never disappoint. I love everything igorrr puts out because you never know what craziness will ensure when you press play. Your review was quite good coming from another's opinion, I love the fact of how you even said you didnt quite understand it fully yet. While a 7 gave me a "okay I dont get that", your reasoning was understandable and in the end, musical preference is subjective.

[@kingdomoftyrants9844]

Thanks for finally doing a review for this album. It's his best work so far. Travis Ryan does guest vocals on a few songs and the female vocalist is the singer in Corpo Mente. Personally i'd give it a 9/10. Only track I didnt love was Va Te Forte or whatever it's called

[@LarkVsOwl-de3op]

Do you have some bands to suggest? I love igorrr and snares

[@GalvakzaMusic]

Ruby My Dear and Shotgun Orchestra. They are similiar

[@sagafor11]

Anthony why do you button up the top button on your shirts? And then you expect me to take you seriously when you review. I mean how can I base my entire opinion on an artist just on somebody who buttons up the top button´s opinion.

[@sagafor11]

Sometimes I can´t sleep at night because I think of Anthony actually not being the ultimate purely objective reviewer he seems in my eyes, and that one day maybe I will learn that music is subjective, and I should not just take Anthony´s opinion, but make my own opinion after listening to albums. But those are just baseless nightmares, right?

[@Psyteth]

colfortynine he has notes infront of him, he does one solid take and will just keep going and cut out the parts where he stumbles or pauses too long.

[@colfortynine]

you right, probably did not word that properly. notwithstanding, the sentiment stands, and i feel that kinda dedication in producing frequent, high quality content goes under appreciated

[@Corrupted4ta]

You can't compare Igorrr with Korn & Skrillex and also think that the breakcore moments in here are brostep. So much lack of information. Have you ever heard a full lenght breakcore album? Venetian Snares classic works for example? You can't compare that sound with dubstep.

[@Corrupted4ta]

Again, your comments on complex & conceptual electronic albums goes far too simplistic imo. It's like you refuse to see the whole dimentions of this kind of records, It has happen before with your reviews of Holly Herndon and the last James Blake album.

[@bigboygames6817]

Likely the only reason you don't enjoy Igorrr's older stuff is that you haven't listened to it enough. When I first heard Igorrr's music I felt the same, but as I listened more, I began to love it.

[@vulkanofnocturne]

this reminds me, I should relisten to Whourkr again...

Wow you're only reviewing it now ? ^^ I'm a long time Igorrr fan, and holy shit this album is killer ! hallelujah remains to me his best masterpiece, I can understand how it might be confusing, but I personnaly felt in love with the craziness of it.

[@ForcesOfOdin]

In the other Igorrr albums he samples other sounds at a tempo to make it fit a different kind of sound, which is super genius. Like sampling baroque music at a frequency that makes it sound like metal.

[@Molteniceee]

You waited way too long on this review, and the score is way too low. Edit: How dare you compare this album to the collaborative Korn/Skrillex album. This is not dubstep and metal. It's more like Venetian Snares and Nails. It's not as redundant as you think, if redundant at all.

[@woundsdrone]

Didn't expect you to review me. Thank you.

[@isy406]

things seem more complimentary in this album because the whole thing is written by Gautier and recorded in a studio by other musicians along with him on electric guitar. In his past albums he did have some recorded sounds, a lot of it was sampled, which would explain the music not blending to you.

[@Austin-sd1zw]

You didn't mention this, but in a few tracks, those death metal vocals were done by Travis Ryan

[@makoseda]

Watching this review while hoping for a review of Igorrr’s Spirituality & Distortion.

[@HelloLogan01]

I'd have to say the one song i liked the most was houmous, think its they way it unfolds its self and transforms more basic (for igorr) patterns into something complex. which is what brought me to his music in the first place, well besides the beautifully sung opera mixed with a more baroque like feel. i always kinda liked that shiet.

[@HelloLogan01]

I wouldn't even call him a metal artist, his music (in my honest opinion) just covers so much more that just metal, his music is just incredible to me.

[@cannibalcris6875]

This has the best first 15 seconds of any album I've heard this year. Love this record.

[@nenissaK]

If I had to pick one favourite artist it would be Igorrr - just because of the versatility, seriousness, non-seriousness, ridicilousness, metal, classical, 11/10 mixing and mastering, variety of sounds, surprise element, ear candy, and pure geniousness. Like you said, there's just no other artist like him.

[@irjohnston35]

hey do you think you could look into machine girl and maybe do a review of her/his/there one album WLFGRL? Recently started listening to them and would be interested what you would think

[@jamiemc2313]

It's interesting because a lot of people who have really dug the album will cite Opus Brain as one of the best Igorrr songs ever (myself included), yet you gave it little more than a passing mention. In that regard I can completely agree with your 7, as without Opus Brain I don't think I would have given the album much more than a 7 either. It's a really unique song in the Igorrr discography as it is quite serious, dark and focused, constructing and deconstructing a theme/melodic structure that progresses throughout the entire track. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to check out Igorrr to watch the video (which is also great by the way).
