it won't, this album is not good enough

[@mergenmunkh7691]

yoooo it's the cbat maker

[@cujoson1150]

I honestly loved the kind of chaotic nature of it all, and I feel like the way it sprawls and goes all over the place works in its favour. But I'm already so enamoured with Hudmo that I can totally see that approach coming off as feeling bloated and unfocussed. Either way I think it's his best full album yet though, I think, and I'm lad to see he's still evolving, and that he's never afraid to take risks and get weird

[@TalkingMusicAllDay]

"It feels like an EDM playlist on shuffle." LOL exactly what I love about this album.

[@kingslayer4989]

the album cover also explains it pretty well

[@tawmifm]

Neither of you have ever listened to EDM then lmao

[@popdanish4969]

I really thought the tone was pretty consistent. Like yea, on paper, all the different genres shouldn’t work well together, but I thought sonically it felt like one big experience. The ambient pieces sound connected to the hip hop beats and the electronic dance stuff. It doesn’t really flow from song to song, but the songs have enough momentum and sense of pace to keep u engaged. 8/10

[@eaAngelmusic]

I agree with you completely I think a 6 on this out of all records is harsh id argue next to Swedish house mafia it’s one of the best electronic albums that’s came out of the whole year

[@popdanish4969]

@@eaAngelmusic yea, I feel like in comparison to his other solo projects, and TNGHT, this album is the most adventurous. It really stands out as it’s own thing in terms of sound too. It’s so big and lavish and colorful. It scratches all your itches without sounding too all over the place. It’s catchy, visceral, and absurd. But what I think ties it together is how emotive it is. Almost every song feels like it has purpose. Feel like he used the different formats and genres as vessels to express certain feelings, instead of just throwing different genres together for the sake of it, as I think Anthony implies.

[@HarrisonHUMAN]

[@thefoxoverlord]

i thought it was very good and actually flows pretty well in a dreamlike sort of way, but i can see where you're coming from. shame the sample on Redeem got removed from streaming though

[@RuTypeBeat_]

one of the best electronic albums of the year.

[@carsonbeercomedian7682]

Melon, I haven’t heard the record but I want to say I love your videos and you’ve inspired me to listen to more music, I used to only listen to radio songs but in 2019 I started to listen to more albums because of your review of Morbid Stuff and 7 which are the record and EP that got me into their respective genres, so Melon, I just want to thank you for being the reason I love music today

[@IDLEPYRAMIDS]

WHOA ANTHONY YOU’RE REVIEWING THIS?!?!? Damn, I’m actually so happy yet kinda shocked you are lol. Hudson was one of my dad’s favorite artists before he passed away last year. I really loved this album quite a bit for nostalgia purposes and I’m glad you seemed to mostly enjoy it too. Unsubscribed.

By far the best project Hudson Mohawke has done so far. Stump and Intentions were my favorites!

[@supplantermusic9413]

I got two words for you: butter man

[@fraicheness]

Anyone curious just listen to the Cry Sugar Megamix! It‘s going to blow your ears off! Coming from TNGHT and Hudson’s Heeters, which had perfect pacing, yeah, the sequencing felt a bit weird on this one. But it still schlaps!

[@2c_4m57]

I really loved this album and it's one of my favorite wonky electronic albums in a while. I think it's way more cohesive than you let on, the mood switchups don't feel chaotic or like whiplash to me, they feel to me more like, idk, the highs and lows of day to day life or something. I really did not mind or feel it was on shuffle. And Is It Supposed is one of my favorite tracks of the year,I can't stop dancing when it's on, sorry you just think it's menu screen music

[@nikolademitri731]

I remember when Butter came out and my friend and I were probably 2 of 10 people in PA who knew Hudmo, let alone loved his stuff. I was 22 then, I’m 35 now. This is his best, chaos and all, period. Strong 8/10 imo

[@atomicbrain9401]

turn the 6 upside down, it’s a 9 now

[@User-gj9pb]

You can pretty much guarantee any electronic review will get lower than a 7 from fantano. One of my favourite electronic albums in years, each track is such a well done take on each of its styles.

[@DMGx1993]

I mean, he gave TNGHT II a 7 so….

[@geesixnine]

Yeah he hasn't listened enought to EDM or electronic to really critique.

[@nah8780]

@@muz4704 I'm pretty sure what he means is that Hudson's production on MNIMN isn't completely overshadowed by Kanye's production on Pusha's later albums wich is a pretty big accomplishment. I personally like them both, and Kanye has a lot of chemistry with Push.

[@muz4704]

@@nah8780 best track on MNIMN was suicide and that’s a pharrell beat. I don’t know about Wavves, but I’m sure HudMo was involved in Mercy/clique (can’t remember which one)

[@nah8780]

@@muz4704 I checked yesterday and he basically worked on a lot of G.O.O.D. Music albums. MNIMN, Cruel Summer, Yeezus and TLOP all have him on production and writing for a few songs. I guessed Waves was produced by him simply because it sounds exactly like his other work from 2016 lol, and you are right he worked on Mercy too.

[@hereisapictureofabroom]

if Cbat 2 was on the tracklist, it would've been a 10 ez

[@idontcheckmynotifications]

Honestly noticed it because of the cover art lol I think things being all over the place is some of the point and I’m sure you realise that, saying it’s too much is fair tbh, but I think there is a tone here partially based around that messiness. I think it’s a good album, but not great, it could be tightened a lot and hit better climaxes. It was pretty good to mellow out to and the best songs were great.

[@er98ah]

Let’s be honest Anthony has a very particular taste his opinion means nothing but what he prefers

[@allisondegroote8038]

Anyone who doesn't give this at least an 8 out of 10 just has no business talking about my baby boy Mohawke. Just because you can't make out the pattern in the "chaos" doesn't mean it isn't there. It just means you're not evolved enough to follow along.

[@itsmesnacks]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Cbat by Hudson Mohawke. The symbolism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory most of the musical beauty will go over a typical listener’s head. There’s also Mohawke’s adept satirism, which is deftly woven into his composition- his musical style draws heavily from early-20th-century Dadaistic art, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these musical choices, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Cbat truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Cbat’s captivating hook, “Doot. doot doot, doot, doot doot doot, doot” which itself is a cryptic reference to Duchamp’s famous artwork L.H.O.O.Q. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as HudMo’s genius wit unfolds itself on their headphones. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a HudMo tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
