Exactly. Who reviews artists completely out of their comfort zone
I waited in such high anticipation for Hive Mind after hearing Come Over And Roll. It gave me the impression that the album would have a lot more bounce and attitude to it, similar to the vibe on Ego Death, just with more focus on melodies. Hive Mind turned out to be far more serene and tender than I had thought, lyrically and vocally. Syd brought more of the "fluid jazz" type vocals found in Feel Good but Hive Mind is definitely a step up instrumentally from any other project of theirs. Chris and Pat went hard on this project. Some of the ghost notes on thst hi-hat and the bass grooves are insane. I don't know what you expect lyrically from a funk/neo-soul band to be honest, Anthony. I love the simplicity of them and it tuned my attention more to Syd's vocals. There's not one skipable track on this album. More like strong-8/10

melon you just aren't romantic person
Patrick Paige II’s ‘Letters of Irrelevance’ is top 10 of 2018 this far
This whole review sounded like a 9/10-8/10 lol
After listening, I'd say Ego Death was better to me, but both of the albums are great, not bland in the least bit. I think Syd's vocals are almost always seductive, something is very intoxicating and inviting about her voice. I'd say over the years her lyrics have gotten pretty confident and her vocals have improved substantially, especially when performing live. Lol idk in the words of Pharrell, Her voice sounds like clouds like to me, always chill yet very impactful. I can agree that album notes their growth for sure, but deserves a higher score than a light 7.

Great review! The Internet has always been a band that’s caught attention but I never went all in. This is the album that really turned me into a fan. Total side note! I’d love to hear you review To Whom it May’s debut album, The Great Filter. To me it sounds like a mix of Thrice, Deftones, and Korn. You the man, Fantano!
Glad to see Dignan on here
Can you please listen to and review Steve Lacy’s Demo 🔥👍
I liked this album but i noticed they ended every track with a filter out, which isn't a bad transition, it's just WAAAYY overused in my opinion

DAMN. this album's pretty good!
I was kind of disappointed the first listen, but on the third listen I'm into it. Come together and hold on we're placed perfectly, as they really tie the ribbon on this album for me. Like melon said the instrumentals were sophisticated on this album in comparison to the past. I do appreciate the chill vibe, but it definitely did not hold my attention, as well as ego death, the first listen.Songs like mood went over my head because Syd's vocals were over shone by the instrumentals and I wasn't quite sure if my attention was to be drawn to instrumentals primarily or what. In contrast a song like wanna be has light vocals that blended well with the instrumentals, while it wasn't a song that initially caught my attention I came back around and grew some appreciation for its musicality. Many of the songs had fabulous hooks that weren't utilized to their full potential. Nonetheless, I will be jamming to this album until I am sick of it.
Fantano gonna give out 2 10s in 1 year when Taboo finishes dropping
I want to you randomly say TRANS-FORMERS robots in disguise

Swear you’ve been giving out good scores this year. Must be a good year for music
It's really nice to see many of the Odd Future solo members (and current groups) getting (mostly) positive & good reviews. =)

Idk why but whenever I listen to The Internet, I just feel like something is missing. I feel like I should like it, and I do, but something keeps me from being a hardcore fan of it and listening to it actively.

100%. This album was pure easy listening "background noise." Burbank Funk was like the standout song cuz it had some bounce to it but the rest kinda just meanders on. Thought they'd bring something hot to the table, especially considering Lacy has been on his shit with his own work and his production of that Ravyn Lanae chick. Reminds me of Rex Orange County and how that guy is the modern equivalent to the boring days of mid-1970s soft rock.

Melon are you going to review the upcoming Bass Modulators album?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU MELON. Ego Death and Fin were two of my favorite albums of 2015 and 2017. Yet you rated both of them poorly. Then this album comes out and it easily fits into the categories put Ego Death and Fin in (Uninteresting vocals, bland grooves, etc.) and yet it's your favorite internet album to date?! Also you still get an L for giving the Saba album a "meh". I can't get over that one either.

The Internet's Hive Mind album is really great. They are seriously on their way to becoming this decade's A Tribe Called Quest if they continue with this.
Fantano wanted us to know how slinky that baseline was so bad he said it twice
So is that bass line slinky or nah?
goddamnit, stay the night is fucking beautiful. my favourite the internet track yet, hands down
that score is better than i expected ! literally got dizzy once i saw it

Don't get me wrong, i love The Internet but i cant say i felt this album as much as i hoped. I think the tone and mood of the album is just not for everyone. That being said there as so many good bangers on here. :)
you should do a review on your hi fi/monitor/listening set up
I liked Ego Death better but for sure The Internet just keep progressing with their sound on this project.
At 3:15 he repeats the same thing twice
Dude reviewed his fanbase 😂😂
Did you ever review the Drum Chord Theory by Matt Martians ?? Easily one of my favorite albums ever. I loved Hive Mind but was definitely hoping for a stronger Matt Martians drum and percussion presence.

Nice another 10/10 this year, Anthony! Fully deserved!
The Melon and I are wearing the same shirt today, one of us should really change...
Wow. I'm actually surprised by the score. I will say it is their best album yet.
I really recommend the album "A Love Extreme" by Benji Hughes, he's really underrated and the album seems pretty damn unique. Also, the song "Waiting For an Invitation" is one of the best songs I've listened to in a long while.
roll (burbank funk) is the same drum loop as eazy - chapter 8 verse 10
Hey Anthony, my birthday is the day before yours. Nice.
They feel like more of a team and Lacy's solo work really stood out among them. They could have cut a few tracks but I have been behind the internet since ego Death and Netscape.
Sorry. I disagree with this and all of your internet reviews. They rock. 9/10
