Is the new Glass Animals album really that bad? | Anthony Fantano's Dreamland Review (Reaction)

[@PaijeBreaks]

*Its all love Glass Animal fans!* Thanks for watching 😆

[@12346MCR]

Space Ghost Coast to Coast, is about someone bringing a gun to school. The song paints a picture of the person. a GTA addict that thinks their gangster listening to DR Dr etc. Glass animals lyrics seem random at first but you need the backstorys to understand why they put weird unusual words/phrases in there

[@PaijeBreaks]

Henry Sawyer holy shit! 😳 I figured it was purposeful, but didn’t catch it. That really makes me want to re-listen to those songs again. Which one was your favorite?

[@12346MCR]

​@@PaijeBreaks Domestic bliss, Tangerine and hot Sugar. The meanings behind all three are really interesting. Domestic bliss especially. about mental and physical abuse.

[@mkkoofficial4226]

Paije Breaks I guess every song on the album has its own interesting backstory about which I didn’t know until I read the storylines on Spotify and that made me even more into the album, but I could agree on some points made in this video, the album is not perfect but still better than not good 😄 Ps. Interesting fact is that in Dreamland single, each line represents one song of the album (for example “that worst thing you said” - It’s all so incredibly loud etc.)

[@PaijeBreaks]

MkKo Official I have an entire new appreciation for the project then if that’s the case! I love when there’s backstory and connection like that. What would you give it 1-10?

[@mkkoofficial4226]

Paije Breaks 8 at least I think. I love the vibe, it’s so chill and dreamy! Also some of the songs feel very personal for me. Yeah definitely an 8 😄

[@thricerocks]

Not gonna lie, first listen I was very disappointed. However, the album really grew on me. Domestic bliss is the big stand out to me.

[@PaijeBreaks]

This sums it up well - this album is a grower

[@FrancescaPessarelli]

i actually really loved this album. yea some songs aren't total winners but they each have such specific stories behind them. plus they hit those pop-y dreamy pleasure points. and honestly, after such a bonkers toxic year, it feels good to just tune out to something a little bit vapid.

He’s done it with many an album, which is why I don’t take him seriously at all. Tried pulling a “the arctic monkeys haven’t had a good album in AGES” card and I checked out.

[@RoseateLambXO]

Dave wrote most of the explanations to the songs on Spotify the lyrics themselves sound weird but with context it starts to make more sense lol i think the album is supposed to throw people off with it's lyrics given the album is called "dreamland" but there's more to it I swear! Lol

[@PaijeBreaks]

It was definitely a dreamland! They hit those vibes spot on!

[@spikeyhat9951]

I really liked the video even tho I don’t agree, I find when lyrics are not just what your hear. Dave explains the songs on spotify if that helps. In my opinion all three albums are fucking great and what is so great about them is that they all sound so diffrent and have a certain vibe. Glass Animals is in my opinion one of the best bands of the century.

[@PaijeBreaks]

I think you are spot on about the vibes - each album is so unique, their own world in terms of sound. This album is definitely one that deserves more than a “first listen” the more I dive in or people shed light the more it grows on me. And thanks for watching and liking! I really mean to disrespect towards Glass Animals, hoping it came off as such.

[@kazzledazzle]

He explains them on Spotify? Is it like a podcast or something, because I'd love to listen to it.

[@spikeyhat9951]

@@kazzledazzle No, it shows up when you listen to it on a phone. He just wrote a few lines about every song.

[@user-mn9wq5km4l]

A lot of Glass Animals lyrics sound goofy. I think they feel like word salad or stream of consciousness at times and for me there's nothing wrong with that because what the music emotes is still valuable and able to be felt/related to. Loved this album. I don't really feel the urge to skip any songs when listening through.

[@brodi-liciousdre9319]

You've got to put the word together. They're a puzzle but the pieces fit together when you get the gist of the song. "Pineapples are in my head", along with the context of the test of the lyrics , suggests to be a reference to confusion and even a headache. 😊

[@tobiias_rm5560]

Heatwaves has got me through so many fifa loses

[@Buried_Blu]

Space ghost coast to coast is based off a true story that Dave experience, he was friends with a kid when he was younger and all the things mentioned in the song. Eventually they grew distant when they moved away from each-other, later on in life Dave found out that kid became an attempted school shooter. The song I sung from the song is about an Ex-Friend and how they became an attempted school shooter, the singer of the song is reminiscing about times before the incident.

[@heroicskeleton1566]

The seemingly random, weird lyrics are one of my favorite things about the band. Guess it's just not for everyone. There is more meaning but even if the lyrics were simply representing nostalgia from a dream state, that's at least more interesting then the cliche lyrics of most pop.

[@CartersCovers]

I'll Add one thing here, the opener Dreamland is a great example of a semi boring/ laid back hazey song saved by it's lyrics in this album. In Dreamland (the song) there's one line representing each song in the album. Example : "he had a gun on the first day of high school". Referencing Space Ghost Coast To Coast. I feel whenever he mentions something random in a song, it's him saying an idea about the song, not explaining an idea or creating a sentence with it. Very unique in my opinion. Some good beats, but the boring simple ones are saved by their cool meanings. Except domistic bliss that one is eh. Melon and the coconut seems very weird and lame at a first listen, but then you realize that literally it's just a melon and a coconut talking to each other on the floor. Or is it? That's what makes this album good. I also really loved how your video was done! Great editing, I liked how you got right to business. I recommend looking at the lyrics while you listen to a song though. Especially these guys.

[@PaijeBreaks]

Appreciate the love! That’s a good idea to have the lyrics handy. I feel like I missed a lot on the first listen. I swear more I hear about the lyrics the most this album seems beyond trippy 🤣🤣

[@CartersCovers]

@@PaijeBreaks for sure

[@gandalfthegay.]

Dude, domestic bliss is also not meaningless. how could be that be the "eh" one?

[@supernerdo13]

glass animals has always had weird lyrics tho. whats a peanut butter vibe? settle into a world of noise? its always been like this

[@PaijeBreaks]

Very true, good point!

[@dillonuf]

"That one's not it." *song proceeds to reach number 1 and exceeds a billion plays on spotify*

[@ren4102]

I still give it a 9 for creativity. Most songs are written to view on what resonates with you or how you interpret the song. I can see why most listeners would give it a lower rating. I think most artists try to make their albums different than others and I definitely see the different creativity in this album. Most people get pissy because their favorite artists dont sound the same like they used to. But I appreciate growth and always trying to make different sounds. I definitely loved that I got something a bit different out of this album. The back stories definitely help enjoy the creativity. Although people can interpret these songs differently I know it can be hard when they do throw out random words that usually pieces the story together, which is what makes this album so different an creative. Because he's telling the story in his perspective. Not our perspective. Which is why I give such a high rating. Its different

[@ren4102]

I think its the idea of looking at the art in a different angle rather than staying in that mindset of piecing what resonates with us

[@PaijeBreaks]

Brenna May 💯💯💯 this!! People complain when it’s too much of the same, or when it’s too different. I do think the album gets better with each listen, and recognizing the back stories etc

[@martina2904]

Heat waves is the first song I ever heard from Glass Animals. I can't help but keep listening to it all the time, and loving it! Dreamland and It's All So Incredibly Loud are my favourite as well. I love the deep, dreamy feeling of these songs and album in general. Thank you for standing up for them! That guy has no right to hate on them.

I see ur pfp and username, u heard it from heat waves the fanfic am i wrong? :)

[@JTheMan1100]

I fell asleep listening to dreamland in class lol. Very beautiful album, definitely iconic to me because it’s about the singer’s life ( some of the songs) and I’m really interested in that, these last 2 albums GA have made had a meaning, heck some of the songs in how to be a human being were sort of a message about mental health awareness. Sorry for the long message lol

[@audreyarnett4213]

girlllll stop laughing at every single track lmao, you didn’t get it and neither did fantano. you kinda tried to understand the album as a whole, which is appreciated, and certainly did understand more than fantano but come onnnn ! this album was wasted on your ears, people reviewing an album after one listen or during their first listen is pointless. just don’t even bother because you literally mispronounced the name of one of the tracks and then put it up incorrectly as a graphic too. girl put more time into your work haha, your lack of effort shows

[@PaijeBreaks]

Appreciate you for checking out the video regardless! Just trying to bring some fun/lightheartedness back into music discussions as oppose to full on deep dives - I hear you though. Thanks Audrey!

What is your problem!!!! You just said heat waves is bad???? Heat waves is one of the best songs in the album!!!

[@potatokill8156]

Even though I don't really agree, because for me that album just had some really good songs that I play on loop while working, I also appreciate you sharing your opinion without throwing in hate and explaining your thoughts on it! Not everyone likes it and that's fine. Still, seeing from other comments as well, it probably would've saved some confusion and been nice to see you looking deeper into the lyrik meaning (especially since ou had a hard time understanding them, which is to be expected on the first listening though!). I get that this was just your first view and that you mean no hate, I actually like that you just honestly said "Yeah don't reaally like it that much" instead of shit-talking it :)

[@PaijeBreaks]

I like that - I think a lyrical deep dive would be fun. but yeah I'm definitely not here to talk shit or put anyone down. I just want to have experiencing music with everyone. I appreciate your for noticing :)

[@JotaFilip]

I'm just sad that one of my favorite albuns doen't have a matching review, just watched fantano and now this and it's a bit disappointed. This album deserved a fair review., and i've not seen any until now. Subscribed tho, videos seem cool.

Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve thought about doing full on reviews since these first reaction type are very surface level and fun.

Honestly hate when people criticize people’s music harshly when they pour there hurt and soul into it, and they don’t nearly get as even close to as popular or successful as them.It just makes me mad when they seem like they are able to be so harsh when they aren’t even professionals in it.Not to mention how she doesn’t listen to all of the songs fully, and she’s a high sooooo she should honestly be less harsh and just maybe shutup.

[@ThisIsAName69]

So does everyone besides fifa fans hate heat waves? That songs 🔥

[@MrAndyboo]

I love glass animals, but I really miss when they did that jazzy-smooth sound (like toes or gooey). The direction they've gone just isn't the best, they have a lot of strengths and uniqueness as a band, but they don't utilize their strengths well. So for now Glass Animals, always in my heart, but patiently waiting for a return for the Zaba-like days.

[@PaijeBreaks]

💯 you summed up how I feel better than I ever could. I hate to be that person who always hold on to an artist’s older stuff - but I’ll just take a seat next to you.

[@ViMBarN]

I totally feel you, but from ZABA (which is when I fell in love with them) to How To Be A Human Being the sound changed A LOT without not feeling like Glass Animals.. and that's very impressive! This did it even more!! More different, Still very much Glass Animals and I appreciate that so much.. i love it!!!

[@Curlup_nd1e]

I really love the album I think it Makes more sense when you learn the meanings behind the songs but I really like the whole vibe of the album (and waterfalls coming out your mouth is my fav) but I feel like the album has a whole nostalgic bright and vaperwave vibe I feel like the album's more a fever dream but overall I think it's an amazing album

[@brodi-liciousdre9319]

I've been in absolute ADORE with Glass Animals since I found them while I was homeless on the streets of NYC! Zaba and 'Gooey' kept me sane during a time where I was the most miserable I've EVER been in my Life! I was dealing with and recovering from bruises, burns, and sickening stalkings by a psycho bf, and when I would walk down 8th Ave in Manhattan, the music of Glass Animals literally made me feel free and reminded me of who I truly am, and that I am NOT some homeless, veteran, junkie holding a sign! Their music truly and honestly saved my Life! When I listen to the songs from Zaba, it takes me back to those noisy New York streets and back to the loneliness AND freedom that I felt! Now, when I hear their new album, it reminds me of how Life can change. EVERYTHING can change, and Glass Animals can too. Idk if this has sounded corny or not, but the truth is that I feel like this new album is another change for the group in their new direction, and I too, am gratefully and happily swept along the wave! I know this is a long comment, but it's true! Their music saved my life and has helped me heal. I work and drive a nice car now. I'm but materialistic, but I'm not in that mire anymore; still listening to Glass Animals! I wish thanking them in person was possible, but for now I'm sending my acclaims. Great job, y'all! Your music has done more for others than you know! 😊

[@stoopiddrawer]

I love the album, and so does my sister, some of my fav songs are dreamland and space ghost coast to coast. Also, there is a thing on Spotify where if you click on a song and scroll down, you can see the backstory or inspiration for the song. And every song in this album has a story behind it. That's something that I really like, is that the whole album, every song is trying to tell some sort of story or convey some sort of message.

[@dombrownuk]

Always like hearing criticism on albums I like because often I shared the views before the album grew on me lol, but all the reviews I've seen don't seem to realise that it's a nostalgia album. That's why the lyrics are why they are haha. Good video though, keep it up! :)

[@PaijeBreaks]

Appreciate that - thank you! I agree that this album definitely grows on you

[@cloggedcord4612]

Rather disappointed in the take “they’re just naming shit” 😔 like there is a solid reason to the things Dave is saying, and a reason they’re a little discordant. It is disappointing to see someone just take the surface sound of the song

[@bish8256]

Why are there are so many dislikes? This was a great video. I do think Fantano kinda does miss the mark with some of his reviews though.

[@PaijeBreaks]

bish 😂😂 he really does! He’s slowly becoming so disliked - it’s kind of funny to watch. Thank you for watching! 😆🙏🏾

[@bish8256]

Paije Breaks of course! I like your breakdown. If you want, I would recommend listening to The Altar by Banks, then watching his review. It was hands down his worst review ever and was infuriating .

[@deathwitheponine]

You’ve probably heard this a million times but Dave has straight up said re space ghost that the “playin too much of that GTA, playin to much of that dr. Dre” line was completely tongue in cheek. Since that kind of crap is what is generally pointed to as a “reason” kids act out and commit school shootings and his friend (the subject he’s addressing in space ghost) brought a gun to school and was caught right before carrying out a school shooting. There’s a lot going on in this album that isn’t clear on first listen, and I don’t think it’s fair to judge it that way, but I do get it. I was a little disappointed with it at first too but it grows on you.

[@blast4028]

Dr Dre and GTA don't cause school shootings...

[@deathwitheponine]

@@blast4028 yes exactly. That’s literally what I said lol Tongue in cheek: in an ironic, flippant, or insincere way. Here’s the video if you want to watch for yourself, SGCTC chatter starts around the 24 min mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJm0hZKHqMaEf9k

[@connorellis4402]

Tbh I'm biased AF cuz my sister loves Glass Animals and it was pretty early into the pandemic, so I went into it expecting to at least half-like it and was desperate for new music, but i kinda dug it right out the box. Nice, soft, kinda lofi pop

[@AlexAlebaster]

Been a while since your post on this album.. and I'm sure it's come to grow on you some way, or another.. but honestly; the whole 'full screen + notes on what you're listening to' thing that spotify does is pretty informative if something you hear doesn't really clue in what *you're hearing*.. Learned a lot about this album just by reading the quotes from the band members on which songs meant what, and why. A little research goes a long way! Cheers

[@premiumheadpats4150]

Bad?!?! That album is incredible!!! However, I think I love it for two reasons. First, the vibe is simply sick as hell. Second, I know the meanings behind the songs I love. Listen to it again. Then listen to it again. Then listen to it again. Then see the genius in it underneath what you see on the surface on your first listen. I know the lyrics seem weird and random on the surface and if that's all you have then you're bound to be kind of lost and bored. There is a more cohesive picture when you know what they mean though. A couple examples for proof that I'm not full of shit here: Tangerine is about someone you know who has just changed so much that you can't even recognize them as them anymore and you're not down with that at all. So you wish you could make them just change back to the person they were. "I wish I could show you more of yourself. I wish I could make you somebody else. But I left it way too late. Are you stuck in your own ways? I'm beggin, hands, knees, please. Tangerine, come on back to me." Heat Waves on the other hand is about how you can date someone and get so sucked into the relationship that you change into a person you don't really recognize anymore trying to fit what they want. And that is something that's.... completely unsustainable. It's about realizing that it's impossible for you to be yourself and make them happy. "Usually I put something on TV. So we never think about you and me." "You just need a better life than this. You need something I can never give." Maybe the themes are still a little bit shallow, but I think they are just so vastly relatable. I don't know how old you are. I don't know anything about you or your life, but I think a lot of people can relate to losing someone to change and growth that just comes between you over time and/or dating someone that you really don't have anything in common with, but trying to make it work anyway. Also, as someone who has... excessive personal experience with domestic abuse, Domestic Bliss hits on another level. Like What's Wrong by half alive or Karma by AJR. Shit hits me right where I live. I think what makes it especially meaningful for me is, for each of the Dreamland tracks I mentioned, someone immediately comes to mind that the song relates to. Whether I want it or not, I connect with what Dave is sayin here.

Yo but space ghost coast to coast has a way deeper meaning. If you actually listen to the lyrics it’s pretty clear he’s singing about cutting ties to someone he was close with.

His sibling or someone close to him brought a gun to school to kill people, or something close to that. Definite not just random 90s/00s references. I don’t really like most of the album though 🤷‍♂️ but that’s cool with me lol I appreciate when artists try different things, it’s part of the creative process. Generally though, I never care if I can understand the lyrics or not. It’s never too important to me, just the overall sound and how it makes me feel when I listen. Perhaps if I enjoyed rap more I would care about lyrics? 🤔 who knows

I think this might be a little to obvious for some, but i suggest checking out the lyrics on Genius.com They give a pretty good summary and there fun little references and meaning with the highlighted bits

i feel like this album is like a lot of glass animals' stuff in that to really understand you have to do some googling on the backstory of each song first, the lyrics by themselves aren't inherently revealing as to what they mean. i also think it's important to understand the context in which the album and all these songs were written in. in all fairness if you just listen to the album once and don't do much research abt it then it can seem a bit shit and a bit dry and empty but once you listen a few times and start doing some research then i think the album becomes a much more rich experience.

This album is amazing every listen 👂🏿. Loved it.

[@familysized]

Bro do you only listen to music for lyrics??... Like do you even try to enjoy instrumentals?

[@marciturani6416]

A lot of times I don't agree with fantano, but I'm still subscribed for his perspective. If he doesen't like an album, maybe I will like it y'know.

[@jebthemonk5595]

If it's not for you, it's not for you. Have a nice day!

[@TJShoxxemir]

This was one of my favorite albums of 2020. Fantano and I just dont agree on this and that's ok.

[@ian.s5951]

glass animals is my favorite to listen to, but I can agree that "your love" and "its all so incredibly loud" and the good ones in this album, but that's just my opinion :)

[@charliecarroll33]

Tokyo Drifting is my favorite on the album, how can you not like that song it slapsssss

[@trucat7032]

Cost to cost was one of my favs 👉👈

[@nikiii7781]

ok but that was sad you didn't like heatwaves, no shade but still

[@drixitty]

space ghoeast coast to coast is about a school shooting that his childhood friend did i think

[@jeromesanta6307]

I think it's quite decent , i love the melodies that they did, i guess the saving grace is that i do not pay attention to the lyrics since English is my second language, i focus more on the soundscape and it's quite good.

[@coffee9172]

I really thought this album was underwhelming, especially since I was hyped for GA's next project ever since I went through their discography for the first time. The lyrics kills any thematic potential it could have had, not because they're off-topic, but because they're seemingly random, annoying, and at times, facepalm worthy.

[@ghostcub2228]

the album was great, still is great, and now their new one is great too

[@salty547]

First time I listened I hated this album, thought it was a drastic change in style not in a good way. But as I listened on repeat It grew on me a lot (Edit) I admit this is probably their worst album but it ain’t bad

[@bookedroomer]

It’s literally called waterfall coming from your mouth that’s a really good song and the sound is amazing although it felt a bit same as Tokyo drifting. Also liked tangerine because it felt so homey and nice and your love was good and hot sugar was okay rest I didn’t really like that much

[@plugger1360]

you have to watch the film clip for Its all so incredibly loud ;)

[@PaijeBreaks]

holy shit - that was already my fav song on the album, but that video took it to a whole different level... damn

[@logancartwright8280]

Wait what you doing like heat waves?!?! Ok gon have to stop you their

[@PaijeBreaks]

Dang 😫 can I get a little credit for loving “so incredibly loud”?

[@logancartwright8280]

@@PaijeBreaks mmmm ok I guess, all my friends love that song so I’ll give you a warning 😠😳

[@Kasugami]

look the e n u n c i a t i o n in hot sugar is too DIE for

[@arronbright5893]

Ngl I love the whole album some songs took longer to grow on me but I vibe to the whole lot

[@spacekid2608]

[@pulindan725]

I think heat waves is a good song

[@Rdohead1]
