** A minor one, but many fans will bring up his controversial choice of removing his review of Music/DeathspellOmega's ''Music/TheFurnacesOfPalingenesia'' due to the allegations towards the band being fascist, in turn due to their alleged connections with Mikko Aspa. Considering that Anthony has reviewed musicians with controversial histories/actions in the past (something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRjS0NZpB-8 he himself has addressed his approach with]]) without the need for outright removal, some like to point this out as an out-of-character act from him[[note]]A prevailing theory for why this happened is that due to the drama that was caused by it (alt-right allegations and the like), he didn't want a repeat of the FADER incident[[/note]]. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Make what you will of it]]. He would even repeat this again when he praised an EP by the Mexican band Maquahuitl only to remove the mention of the EP when he was told the band were associated with far-right beliefs

While he doesn't have much to say about the album musically and thus doesn't give it a proper number grade, he fully supports Taylor's endeavor and nevertheless [[BrokeTheRatingScale gives the distinguished score]] of "Screw your old record label.

* EightPointEight: Excluding anything he's reviewed for ''Classics Week'', he has only ever given five albums a perfect 10, those being Music/DeathGrips' ''The Money Store'' (2012), {{Music/Swans}}' ''To Be Kind'' (2014), Music/KendrickLamar's ''To Pimp a Butterfly'' (2015), [[Music/KanyeWest Kids See]] [[Music/KidCudi Ghosts']] self-titled (2018), and Music/{{Daughters}}' ''You Won't Get What You Want'' (2018). Naturally, he gets this reaction ''a lot'', for disliking something or not liking something ''enough'' (giving acclaimed albums a 6 or 7, which is admittedly still a positive score).

** Anthony breaking down in tears during his review of Mac Miller's "Good News". People started editing the clip to make it look like he was crying over incredibly petty things. On his second channel, Anthony expressed his disappointment with having an emotionally vulnerable moment be twisted into a crude joke. He also acknowledges that there's little he can and should do about it, and understands why it became a meme.
