Anthony Fantano, I heard you say something in this video that I think is very important; you said that you may need a mental health break. Now, I have no doubts in your own mental health management, but as one of your loyal and active subscribers, I must say that I would never fault you for taking any amount of personal time you need to refresh yourself. The amount of listening and uploads you do yearly has to be taxing and I, for one, will be very understanding of that. While I have you, I must say that what you do here on youtube brings me so much joy and solace through the most tumultuous of years. I truly cannot thank you enough for sharing your art with me in the form of opinions on music, ~Cal Chuchesta~ and other worldly happenings. Happy new year, sir .. forever.

This album isn't his best but definitely a bittersweet treat for his core fans. (myself included) Nonetheless, I'm happy the label dropped the project for us whether it was a money grab or not.

[@hmvaa]

Legendary478, Well said, I agree. I’d just like to say there’s still one album left to come whether that be an old compilation called “Ugly” or the album “BAD VIBES FOREVER” I don’t know, The estate chose to move songs from BVF to SKINS so at this point I can only guess that the amount of time they took to ‘Mix and Master’ the album was really them mix and mastering a bunch of music and keeping fully fledged tracks for the next instalment.

Ty very much Fantano! I'll be honest I was only aware of one of the albums you listed prior to this video. I've already listened to the ones by Ghost, Judas Priest, Kanye & Cudi and Daughters since watching this yesterday. Not all of it falls within my taste exactly but I still take away something of value from everything. Love how eclectic this list is. Thank you for putting in the work!

[@karltanner3953]

I have a feeling you're making up most of these albums. There's no way NAV dropped over 30 albums in 2018.

Putting Pump's XXL verse in all 50 slots was an odd choice, Anthony.
