You could just wait a week to read their review. Or not read it. Very simple. They're just reviews lol form your own opinions and takes on a piece of media.
was the Fantano review any good. He’s a entertaining YouTube to me so I’ll give him a watch if it’s an album I like
People want them clicks and views. Niggas ain’t waiting 2 weeks to let an album digest anymore
if you are actually looking for someone who usually takes a while to publish and is thoughtful… Craig Jenkins over at NYMag/Vulture
People only care about reviews outside of fantano and p4k when its kendrick
We need to stop caring in general
Not that this is even a possibility, and this isn’t a Kendrick hate thread because I f*** with the new album (8/10ish ). But seeing the reviews an hour or two after it dropped giving 10/10 scores was just laughable.
Barely enough time to even finish the album let alone review it. Since then there hasn’t been a single 10/10 score! These reviews were on the strength of the artist being a critical darling rather than the actual music.
And I know stans are gonna argue the critics had it a week or two before the drop, but if that was actually the case you really think we’d have known as little as we did the night it actually dropped? That there were no leaks? Not even track names or features?
How can a double album with as many themes as was covered here be reviewed accurately within a few hours. Even if they actually listened to the album (which is doubtful) how can they form an opinion that quickly?
I believe “professional reviewers” back in the day used to get albums beforehand, let it “age”, and then give a review.
‘Fantano gave a score i disagreed with him so his opinions aren’t valid but mine are’
fantano haters in a nutshell 😂😂

That’s how it should be but with big releases in the digital age I don’t think it’s the case for the majority anymore
y’all don’t wait a week before giving your opinions 😂
First impressions and discussion different from a numbered score 6 hours after the project comes out
I think they get it before it drops so the review can be put on release day. Similar to video games. At least I hope so.

It’s just a arbitrary number from an arbitrary scaling to make whatever paragraphs they typed our official. Nothing different at all
I mean s*** I can put a number after my thoughts on a project
In fact I do already lmao
They should be made to stay on KTT/Reddit and wherever else nerds write thesis statements on music tryna feel intellectual instead of just enjoying it

It’s nothing to do with fantano. I used to read the source and XXL back in the day before fantano was a thing. Not that I let them dictate my opinion but they used to come out a month or more after albums come out so they were usually based on spending time with the album, also advance copies were a bigger thing back then.
The reviews are as disposable as the music these days so it’s just dropped as quick as possible to get the traffic. These days they mean little. Tbh fantano may actually be on if the only ones to actually sit down with the music and digest it, whether you agree with his opinions or not.

Listen bro I just don’t understand the point of reviews. It’s not like purchasing a product or watching a movie where u don’t know if it’s gonna be good so you look at review before hand. You can literally YouTube any album and decide if it’s for you or not.
I totally understand the discussion aspect of it, but putting a score/rating on music just doesn’t make sense to me personally
