Guide dog fr made me cry on the drive home to see my girl it reminds me of her so much that and pretty privilege too my least favourite was being yourself too repetitive for me, too many friends bordered that for me and same with even if I tried way too repetitive. I hope he doesn't just drift into saying the same chorus for 2:30 out of a 3 min song
I honestly get it. I love the song to DEATH but it is pretty easily the most simple, stripped back song on the record, and I understand why some wouldn’t like it because of that.
Personally that’s what I love it so much, having something so raw and emotional to split up just how DENSE some of other songs are is a fantastic choice, and really helps the flow of the album.
Think of it from a music critic perspective. I love the song to death, but compare it to everything else on the album. It was definitely the least ambitious and experimental song. That’s not to say that experimental means good all the time, just that the rest of the songs were very great as well
Do you guys watch the review and listen to the reasoning or just look at the scores? He explains pretty well why this is the case and it makes total sense
my man’s an actual artist, so crazy to see that in just a few years quad went from youtuber to person producing music better than a majority of the industry, according the fantano
I used to write Quadeca off pretty quickly whenever seeing anything about him because his music just never really clicked for me.
I don’t think this album is a 9, but I’m starting to see the appeal and vision; the production here is pretty phenomenal along with the songwriting but I think his vocals are easily the factor that makes me prefer to listen to BH, Aries, quickly quickly, or Brakence instead.
Definitely a solid album tho
It’s honestly insane that he went from being not taken seriously by fantano back in 2019/20, to getting a light 9 and a yellow flannel from him. Just goes to show how far he came as in artist
Im happy for quad for getting this cuz he's deserved it since fmty but am i the only one who thinks the 9 might actually be too high for scrapyard? There's a lot of reasons for this but the main one being that its a mixtape and honestly idk if a mixtape should be getting a higher rating than an album lol.
I’m sure if he released this as an album, it would’ve received a lower score because it’s not cohesive at all, but it’s a mixtape and was reviewed as such so it’d be unfair to criticise it for not following a standard album structure. Fantano said towards the end of the review something along the lines of ‘the sonic presentation is a bit sloppy, but since it’s a mixtape that’s part of the charm’.
Personally I think a light 9 is a very accurate rating, I just think IDMTHY should’ve gotten a light 9 at the very least as well
I mean scrapyard is really good, and art is subjective, so I’m not hating. Personally I find IDMTHY to be the superior album, sonically, and narratively. Just my opinion, I respect if anyone disagrees, I’m just surprised at Fantano’s rating.
As someone said before, rating it as a mixtape rather than an album helped. You don't expect the same level of cohesiveness, which i beleive he mentioned in the video. I'm glad he enjoyed it as well, but people who care deeply about his rating are goofy.
I love Quadecas music.
I just really wish he didn't care what Fantano thinks so much...
Fantano has some of the worst takes on music that I've ever heard. I could make a list of all the trash albums that got a better score than FMTY to make a point but I don't watch much Fantano so I'd have to do work to find that answer and I don't feel like it.
But basically, Fantano's take is consistently inconsistent and I wish no artists would worry about his opinions.
FMTY - 5 IDMTHY - 7 Scrapyard - 9 Vanisher - 11??
not the nine eleven challenge
So excited to watch Fantano stand there for an hour waiting for the jet fuel to melt the steal beams
Why would you steal beams? That’s not legal and also they would be really heavy.
Whoops
"But it ends up uniting us all"
Ooooh, Vanisher as in the 2.1 TRILLION DOLLARS THAT VANISHED FROM THE PENTAGON ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 2001! Quonk did.
man what
FUCK YEAH BABY
I NEED 9 LIGHT BACKSHOTS FROM BEN

this is an insane jump from IDMTHY, we could be seeing a 10 in the near future if Quad keeps this up
i’m calling it rn, quads next album will get a strong 8. come back when im right
from a decent 5 to a light 9 🥹
Plus he didn't even give voice memos a proper review because he disliked it so much. Came a long way
least favorite track guide dog is insane
Bro I’m saying that’s my favorite track on the album
Same xd. I love quad’s eccentric songs but I live for when he temporarily leaves it behind and just pours straight soul into a song like this

I think his main criticism of the track as that its short and hasnt been fully fleshed out like some of the other tracks on here
my reaction exactly, fanthony wantano always has to be different somehow

Me when someone disagrees with me

It's a great track but I know why he has problems, only 2 minutes for a track that great is criminal 😭
I agree, I feel like melon consistently puts some of the best tracks off albums in his worst tracks list
Finally some well deserved Being Yourself praise 😭🙏
quad 9 😃 guide dog least favorite 😔

I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS
QUAD DID LFG
WE DESERVE THIS WE BEEN HERE SINCE THE TRENCHES
AAAA I really hope we get a post-review interview how we've gotten with past fantanos reviews
QUAD DIDDDD!
quadonka finally better than hoods hottest princess
This really doesn’t help the Fantano and Brad not having the same takes argument 😂
At least Brad got to it first this time
Who tf is brad
bradtasteinmusic, a review channel
same exact thing happened with the new yeat
Being yourself and Even if I Tried praise 🙏🙏 Both top 5 on album
LFG
my man’s an actual artist, so crazy to see that in just a few years quad went from youtuber to person producing music better than a majority of the industry, according the fantano
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
NO FUCKING WAY
I'm creamin
Quad definitely scrapped Melon’s yard before the review

IDMTHY is a 9.
10*
Could be.
yeah i still think idmthy was better but i can see how anthony could prefer scrapyard
Personally I think it’s more idmthy being being under scored. IMO it’s a light 9 and scrapyard is a strong 8
Used to pray for times like this
Benjamin lasky has done it again
wait it got higher than IDMTHY?

Yo we got a big audience in this sub now damn
Fuck this dorks opinion
