Reacting to Fantano's Worst Albums of 2021

[@headphoneman10]

Never thought fantano would release enough albums in one year for u to rank the worst 15 Brad

[@miserirken]

Yeah almost as King Gizzard...

[@NexusBecauseWhyNot]

@@miserirken just a few day ago I started listening to Gizzard's whole discography and when I saw how many albums they pulled off in 2017 and that they were doing 2 albums almost every year got me hyped so hard to what I was about to go into. I was not disappointed xD

@@CheeseyMilkshakes I'm not saying Justice is good. I'm just saying it's not awful. Imo, Justice is a perfectly solid pop album that's good for what it is. It has some bad tracks, but it also has some good ones, including my fifth favorite song of 2021, Peaches. Is the MLK Interlude weird? Yes. But I'm not going to hate an album just because it has something bad on it. Justice is ok. Not great, not terrible, just ok.

Here My Top 10 Worst Albums Of 2021 list: 10. Chase Atlantic- Beauty In Death (Poppin the xanny, Screw this b****, flex flex flex, that sums up the material by Chase Atlantic in a nutshell, seriously who likes this group anyways) 9. Maroon 5- JORDI (Wow, no surprise here that this Album is on the list, oh Adam Levine you thought rock is dead, but Wow you were wrong, and to see your "band" degrade to this minimalistic trap bs and even trying Reggeaton, yeah no, I'll stick to the quality of the past then the new stuff) 8. A Day To Remember- You're Welcome (Now I was never a ADTW fan but some of my Facebook friends who were disappointed with this album and YIKES the disappointment was warranted, It seems only Paramore and Twenty One Pilots can do the Fueled By Ramen sheen without sacrifice sounding like a band, while it's the opposite here where ADTR goes full on Imagine Dragon and well this the result "You're Welcome" people) 7. Florida Georgia Line- Life Rolls On (OH, FGL you guys started the bro country Era, for better or worse, but after releasing "Can't Say I ain't Country" this is the following up?! Knowing the state of this duo, I'm not surprised that this Album felt Lazy and had lack of effort, with Bear: 30, New Truck, I love my country being on their, yeah my expectations were low, FGL might be breaking up and it's sad that this is possibly their last work) 6. Lana Del Rey- Chemtrails Over The Country Club (Man, Lana you delivered on NFR and you disappointed me with this release, the songwriting it sounded like Chloe And Lila From Miraculous Ladybug were her co writers, this album was so bad she had to release another album this year and it sadly ended up being forgettable, Man hopefully you delivered the quality you brought to NFR because this wasn't it) 5. YBN Nahmir- VISIONLAND (The Biggest epic fail of a Debut album I've ever seen made, YBN Nahmir displayed how lack luster he is without Cordan their to help him,Nahmir basically covers ever trap rap thing within the 20 track 48 Minutes, 2 songs about him getting his D*** sucked, a song about drugs and even a song about the haters, add in also the hilarious awful "Soul Train" and we have a disaster of a solo project well I have no clue Nahmir will bounce back from.) 4. AJR- OK Orchestra (Yeah This Could be #1 or even this would be my Top 3 but I'm getting tired at hating this band I do even feel like given them Gold, Sliver or Bronze, No this Brothers trio I'm given them 4th place and their going home with nothing, like I don't want to hate these brothers but all I ask for them is to make me another version of "Weak", I'm desperate for them to make on of these as much as Drake fans want to make another version of "Marvin's Room", their was nothing on this album to come close to having a Weak, we either had a song about Socks, a song where their was beat boxing to a Mozart sample, BANG BANG BANG!!! And Humpty Dumpty, which if I hear one more time I will stab my ears with a screwdriver Perfect Blue Style. Way less Sad I will say I can tolerate even though the music video makes me Jealous that these 3 goofballs were fooling around insidr the famous TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport before I ever been that building, and Christmas In June is OK, but really I don't see myself returning to play this album.) 3. The Revenge Of Hobo Johnson (OK, So I originally was gonna put this at #1 however since I'm not a Hobo Johnson fan and I haven't listen to all of his Discography I felt wrong about giving this album automatically #1, but even if I not an listener of Hobo Johnson, this album was still really awful, the very awful guitar work and very whiny vocals, very cringe and questionable lyrical content and especially after his previous albums this was a very step-down in quality and Like Lana Del Rey he also released another album to improve from this album, again I'm not a Hobo Johnson fan but this album didn't give me any enjoyment.) 2. DJ Khaled- Khaled Khaled (DJ Khaled, The Quincy Jones of Hip Hop, I see gonna say that because Khaled want CBS News to give that title 2 years ago during his Sunday Morning interview that it still makes my blood Boil, even more when it comes to this album, which Frankenstein monster of awful collabs with "Every Chance I Get with Lil Baby and Lil Durk & Let It Go where I still don't understand why DJ Khaled really thought people would enjoy Justin Bieber collaborating with 21 Savage, sprinkle in last year's boring Drake collaborations "Greece" and "Popstar" on this album that's 53 Minutes long and DJ Khaled is has a huge amount of Songwriters and producers do this work and yeah I still don't get how we still make this living meme still popular but he still is.) 1. Drake-Certified Lover Boy (Yeah, Champagne Papi is #1 Worst album of 2021, now I wasn't tempted to give this album Worst of the year, but then I remembered notable #KickVic Supporter "UnderdogBT" saying on Twitter when this album came out that it was lit and fire, and my reaction was Really, well let me hear and I see if your correct and I did and that's where I was like "I DON'T GET THE F***ING HYPE!!!!!". Drake came out with High Guardian Spice of Rap albums this year, THIS WAS SNOOZZZZE, it was so boring, from the Opening song, to Way 2 Sexy which CAN WE STOP SAMPLEING RIGHT SAID FRED, IF IT DIDN'T WORK FOR TAYLOR SWIFT IT ALSO DIDN'T WITH DRAKE, to Girls Want Girls where Drake saying that he is also a lesbian that even MarzGurl wouldn't even dare to defend. Their is no reason that this Album should be 21 Tracks and 1 HOUR AND 26 MINUTES, Their was so much better music to listen tothis year, even in Rap, their so many albums that I wish had a Recond Breaking Album Bomb on the Hot 100 then CLB deserved to have, hell Kayne West's DONDA is better than CLB, I could tell Ye had put effort on that album, CLB that's no where to be seen and I hope in 2022 we get a break from Drake, NO MAS DRAKE, Certified Lover Boy is My #1 Worst Album Of 2021 without Question.) Dishonorable Mentions: Lorde- Solar Power Justin Bieber- Freedom-EP Willie Nelson- That's Life Hayley Williams- Flowers For Vases/Descanones Lil Yachty- Michigan Boy Boat Evanescence- The Bitter Truth Robin Thicke- On Earth And In Heaven Pooh Shiesty- Shiesty Season NOFX- Single Album Kings Of Leon- When You See Yourself MIGOS- Culture III Iggy Azalea- The End Of An Era Onerepublic- Human Attila- Closure Trippie Redd- Headliners The Offspring- Let The Bad Times Roll Black Veil Brides- The Phantom Tomorrow Escape The Fate- Chemical Warfare All 9 new Psycho synner (Formerly Psychosexual) albums (Yes this garbage band made that many albums this year, I didn't dare listen to any of them) High Guardian Spice Offical Soundtrack Juice WRLD- Fighting Demons Tory Lanez- Alone At Prom Greta Van Fleet- The Battle at Garden's Gate Sia- Music (Official Soundtrack) Tones And I- Welcome To The Madhouse
