So another case of turning a band into a brand?

It's the Gorillaz. The project was always a work of fiction because it's an animated band who play a variety of genres and mash current trends together. For many years the live show was a band hidden behind a curtain with animated visuals projected on the top.

Fantano compares it to legacy metal bands who tour despite having no original members. At that point you're basically just seeing a cover band with the license to use the name and logo.

Gorillaz has some core members. Damon is the writer and singer. Jamie does the art. Other than that it's a rotating cast of musicians and they rely heavily on collaboration and digital production. A reboot could be cool. It would be like rebooting a cartoon show.

As a former Gorillaz fan, I'd lowkey be interested in that.

The idea was really to spoof "corporate" bands by making one that was entirely fake, which the irony is not lost on it basically became a brand, but the original first 3 Albums had a bunch of lore and an underlying story to them which was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, it basically all imploded after the 3rd Album (Plastic Beach) and they truly don't give a shit anymore.

Just remembered that Kanye's latest album dropped. Did Fagtano take the opportunity to clickbait and virtue signal to his fag audience about how unreviewable it is because leftists hate him?

Yeah he said, "so Kanye Wests new album is out. He's a Jew hating nigger man. I can't rate the album because I can't listen to it since only faggots listen to that dumb coon nigger."
 
Transcript of a short he uploaded RE a Bully review:
Is Bully trash? Is it worth anyone's time?

Look, while I'm really happy that Ye has put down all of the weird, fashy extremist rhetoric, as far as I can see, he has once again bungled the rollout on this record.

I've seen people complaining about physical release stuff. I've seen the Ye cult going fully insane on social media once again, per usual, making excuses, rationalizing everything, and being annoying.

And again, I'm glad he has toned it down on the nutty extreme stuff. That made me wary of engaging with his work to begin with.

What I really want to know is that with this record just being thrown up onto YouTube, did it sound like he put effort into the damn thing?

I don't know how many more Ye releases I can stand where it just sounds like he's just ruining the quality of his discography by continuing to force out projects where it just feels like he's trying to get it to the finish line and that's it.

I don't want to hear another finish line album. Is this a finish line album?

Is Bully a finish line album? Just let me know.

I don't want to listen to it if it doesn't sound like he put effort into it.

"Internet's busiest music nerd btw". Can't even put effort into a review.
 
I don't know how anyone can take this dork seriously. He said he would stop talking about Ye after the Alex Jones interview. That was over three years ago, and he still talks about Ye. Also his review of Vultures 1 is one of the worst reviews I've ever seen on YouTube.

Just a heads up that he recently reviewed BULLY, the new Ye album, and he gave it a 4. It was also in the same week where Pitchfork was getting roasted on X for essentially hiring a dyed green hair music critic for saying that BULLY sucked by the A.I. generated version of a Ye album writing by Dave Blunts called CUCK was 10 times better than it.

I wish I could link it right now, though unfortunately, I'm phoneposting at the moment. To put it short, Fantano and Pitchfork essentially breathe the same echo chamber of already made talking points to be divisive towards Ye without actually talking too much about the music, but more so about the controversies he's been in the last two years.

I'm surprised that he actually listened to it, since he wanted to come off as self-righteous for not wanting to review it to begin with. Honestly, I was expecting him to give it a 0 out of resentment, so at least he gave it an actual score.
 
Omg, I'm so frustrated. I had a big post written up about how Fantano is a mega-retard, and hypocritical champaign socialist, for taking a BetterHelp sponsorship... and the site fucking ate it.

Basically, BetterHelp is a data aggregator disguised as an online therapy service. They use shitty non-therapists, with the real goal being to sell session info to advertisers, who then take mentally ill people's language in these sessions to create ads specifically to extract money from mentally ill people. This is well-known by now - literally every Youtuber who does a BetterHelp sponsorship gets screamed at by their entire comment section - so this move was Fantano basically willingly stepping into a big pile of dog shit for money he absolutely does not need. And because Fantano is such a smug cunt about his leftist beliefs that he only took on because of that one Fader article, he absolutely deserves to be torn to shreds by his faggy audience. But also, Fantano will likely release some weak apology and these same people will all move on.
 
I'm surprised Betterhelp still exists in 2026. They've been exposed multiple times and yet still some retarded and greedy Youtubers take the shitty sponsor and then people with functioning brains call them out, happens every time.

Fantano's literally an ex-Pitchfork writer. He was one of their first writers to go independent. He's always been Pitchfork incarnate, both in music taste and in the way they write about music.

Apparently this fags fans are pissed at him for having a betterhelp sponsor.

I take him still taking betterhelp money as a sign that he's down bad and can't attract other sponsors tbh
