The result? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UZqIIy7pAk Fantano responds back, calmly but completely deconstructing and wrecking the entire article]].

I'm commenting out this blurb of albums because not only is this technically a clump of ZCEs, some of these he didn't even pan to begin with (he liked the Silk Sonic album, just didn't love it). Feel free to add more context if you feel it's necessary.

I don't see his "Not Good" series attracting more or less hate than whenever he gives any other album a negative review. Sometimes fans agree with him, sometimes they don't, and I don't see any particular thoughts on the series making that point better or worse than usual for him.

* BrokenBase: His "NOT GOOD" series. It's either one of Anthony's best ideas and allows to him to go into more detail regarding why an album can be horrible in his eyes (e.g. Corey Feldman's album) or it's just an excuse for him to indulge in his biases and bash acts and genres he isn't fond of (as seen from the reception regarding his reviews of Music/Blink182's ''California'' and Music/{{Meshuggah}}'s ''The Violent Sleep of Reason'').

** His "review" of Music/MelanieMartinez's album ''Portals''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Actually an April Fools 2023 joke of him reviewing the 2021 live album ''Portals'' by Music/{{Tesseract}} [[/labelnote]] starts off a straightforward analysis of the album cover. Once he gets to the music itself he expresses surprise at her sudden turn from IndiePop to Main/{{Djent}}, notes the abnormally long 14-minute opening track and complains about the three-part "Concealing Fate". He then confesses he skipped the eighth track due to a need for a [[CallingYourBathroomBreaks bathroom break]] before reserving special scorn for the closing track - due to it opening an interdimensional portal which sucked him away from a timeline where he has free college, 10 million extra subscribers and a [[TakeThat non-Nazi]] Music/KanyeWest. The last minute of his review is him silently breaking down wishing he was back in his timeline.

*** This would also carry over to his review of X's posthumously-released album ''Skins'' later in the year. While he does mention unsavory revelations about X following his death and gave the album a harsh 2/10 rating, Anthony is very quick to point out how X himself is the least to blame for the end product, [[DueToTheDead being openly disgusted by the label essentially graverobbing his leftovers]] [[DeadArtistsAreBetter to capitalize off his death]]. He even forgoes wearing his traditional red flannel in his review, and the album went notably unmentioned from his "Top 10 Worst Albums of 2018" list.
