[@alexsim225]

Ant and Lu being the model of civility by not freaking out over the Swimming fiasco 😅 much love guys, one of the youtube crossovers i've been waiting on for a minute!!!

[@legendarymoji]

I find it interesting that NFR approaches each album and artist as fans and trying to very personally understand the creative underpinnings of each project, while Anthony approaches his reviews more from a more technical, more critic’s perspective. Marks the difference between a commentator and a critic, and both are equally needed in this space. Great job fellas.

[@fwright22]

Congrats on all your success gentlemen. Having Fantano in the same room, your choice in great topics, and production quality of this collab is just another example of your top tier effort you put into this channel. You could have done a zoom call with him just for some extra exposure, but you gave it more effort than what was required. Excellent job guys, your hard work always shows.

[@binko6046]

In regards to Swimming Fantano is right, it really was shoved aside when it came out. People forget it came out the same day as Astroworld

Swimming by Mac Miller literally had the highest like to dislike ratio of any video he's ever had. It wasn't localized to his hardcore fans at all. It was pretty big at the time, I remember it well

[@yagnn]

I think care for me - saba had a worse ratio actually, but I think what he was trying to say is that it was innitially his hardcore fans but then macs passing caused a ton of people to visit the album and then his review

[@dionb7584]

@@yagnn I nearly think it was the opposite. I remember fans on Mac Miller's subreddit being told to go into the review after Mac died and spam it with Ls. Idk kinda find it weird how Fantano just didn't pick up on any of the lyrics on this and Faces too when it came out. He called Swimming emotionally vacant at the time, was so weird to me

As someone who saw the lil pump album live, it was one of the most fun concerts I’ve been to

[@offlnegamer]

I find fantano comments on NWTS SXSW DJ set so funny because that album WAS MY WHOLE SUMMER, me and all my friends. We played the whole thing at every cookout we had, it was life at the time. Of course people dancing in a circle to 90s hip hop isn’t going to vibe but that was a special moment and album. Some people just don’t get it.

[@Tyberes]

As far as mbdtf having problems vs being iconic, I think both of those can easily be true. If anything I feel like a hypothetical "perfect" album wouldn't really have as much of an impact; It wouldn't leave a direction for people to try and follow as they try and get around its flaws.
