I've become hooked on his YouTube channel lately. I by no means always agree with him, but I think he always justifies criticisms really well and he's got a likable persona.

To be honest I see no valid reason to hate dude, despite the sometimes corny jokes he describes why he likes/dislikes things good enough and does a wide range of stuff. Obviously I don't agree with everything he says but anyone who watches a review channel expecting to agree with everything is kinda missing the point....

He's okay, a bit annoying, but I do enjoy hearing his opinions and he's made me see a couple of albums in a slightly different light.

I respect the guy. Think he's a good egg.



I disagree massively with some of his reviews - don't think he gave the latest Thee Oh Sees album anywhere near enough credit. Plus, I also really like Yeezus whereas Anthony clearly didn't.



But his views are always interesting and knowledgeable. More importantly, he's introduced me to a shitload of new music that I've really enjoyed.



So yeah, I hope he continues what he's doing. He's a good guy.

I like him as a person who is very invested in music and clearly spends a lot of time with certain records, regardless of whether I agree with him. I admire that he championed Death Grips from early on. I am sorry for him that most of his fans are /mu/tants.



I just don't like the format though. I've almost never been able to make it through even 3/4 of one of his videos. I prefer text 100% of the time. I don't like sitting and watching someone talk for like 8 minutes. I end up zoning out and not paying attention. It's weird because I think the reason he took off is at least partially because of the format; perhaps some people just don't like to read. It's the same reason I never do podcasts. Nothing shall make me pause my music!



he is semi-active here and his reviews are rarely longer than like 5 words. Maybe he'll post in this thread about his own opinion on hisself!

lol people hate him because no one cares about their opinions but anywhere you go to youtube there's a "theneedledrop sent me here" comment.





Personally, I prefer text to sound. I gotta stop a song if I want to listen to him, and I get much less information in a given amount of time. I usually disagree with he says but he introduces many people to some cool stuff. He's alright.

i used to really like his videos even if i didn't agree with his views but then it became a chore to sit through the forced quirky-ness and his self-awareness of popularity... if that makes sense. i still watch his videos occasionally for his views on stuff but generally it's to stay in the loop of things...

I don't like him because if you took out the stupid jokes with his alter ego and the constant jolts to keep viewers interested and typed out what he said, he literally says about a sentence's worth of actual content per review.
