History YMMV / TheNeedleDrop

*** The beginning of his ''Goblin'' review as well, where we see him declare that the album is better than several rap classics that he shows, as well as give the album a "strong strong beefy-huge giganticinyourface 10". He and Cal then starts chanting "swag". Then the following message appears: "Yep, best album ever! theneedledrop.swag"

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The beginning of his ''[[{{OFWGKTA}} Wolf]]'' review.

*** Music/MilesDavis' ''Bitches Brew''

*** Music/FrankZappa's ''Hot Rats''
*** Music/MarvinGaye's ''What's Going On''

*** Music/{{Prince}} and the Revolution's ''Purple Rain''

* EightPointEight: The only album he's ''ever'' given a ten out of ten was Music/DeathGrips' ''The Money Store.'' Naturally, he gets this reaction ''a lot.'' It's can be pretty dumb when he gets this very often for not liking something ''enough'' by people who don't seem to realize that a six-to-eight score is a good score.

** Standouts are his reviews of [[DonaldGlover Childish Gambino's]] ''Camp,'' Music/JustinTimberlake's ''The 20 20 Experience,'' and anything by PorcupineTree or Music/{{Opeth}} that didn't get a perfect score (which, since he is a fan of neither, is all of them). His ''[[{{OFWGKTA}} Channel Orange]]'' review also gets this a lot, despite that he gave it a Strong 7 (which is quite a good score).
*** And now you can add ''[[Music/KanyeWest Yeezus]]'' to that list, after he gave it a light-to-decent 5.

** He recently gave out his second ever perfect 10 score to a new record, with Music/{{Swans}}' ''To Be Kind.'' Make of that what you will.

[[FanDumb This is probably due mostly to the fact that he gave it any critique at all.]]

*** MilesDavis' ''Bitches Brew''
*** [[MFDoom Madvillain]]'s ''Madvillainy''
*** GodspeedYouBlackEmperor's ''Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven''

*** FrankZappa's ''Hot Rats''
*** MarvinGaye's ''What's Going On''

*** TheVelvetUnderground's ''TheVelvetUndergroundAndNico''
*** JohnnyCash's ''At Folsom Prison''
*** Fugazi's ''Repeater''

* HateDumb: Expect any negative or not-positive-enough review to have the comments section peppered with "Sorry it's not ''obscure'' or ''{{Hipster}}'' enough for you!" or "If this were released by Music/AnimalCollective or {{Radiohead}} or Music/NeutralMilkHotel you'd be giving it a perfect score!"

*** WuTangClan's ''Enter The Wu-Tang''

** He recently gave out his second ever perfect 10 score to a new record, with music/Swans' ''To Be Kind.'' Make of that what you will.

* BiasSteamroller: Averted for the most part, but one has to wonder on his review of [[Music/PorcupineTree Steven Wilson's]] ''The Raven Who Refused To Sing'' if he's mostly just annoyed at Steven Wilson's 70's-prog-purist attitude and it's affecting his opinion. Likewise, his review of [[DonaldGlover Childish Gambino's]] album ''Camp'' was ''extremely'' negative, for all the valid criticisms, to the point where it almost seems OutOfCharacter. He's never been that heated about an album before, even giving Chief Keef's album and the aforementioned Steven Wilson's albums higher scores.

** Dear lord, his review of Steve Wilson's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7tl9-luZE "The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Some Other Stories),"]] just look at the amount of dislikes.

*** Music/Prince and the Revolution's ''Purple Rain''

*** And Music/KingCrimson's ''In The Court Of The Crimson King''

** Standouts are his reviews of [[DonaldGlover Childish Gambino's]] ''Camp,'' JustinTimberlake's ''The 20 20 Experience,'' and anything by PorcupineTree or {{Opeth}} that didn't get a perfect score (which, since he is a fan of neither, is all of them).

* ReviewsAreTheGospel: '''Strongly''' discourages this attitude. Regardless of this, his reviews tend to be regarded this way at least on [[{{Imageboards}} /mu/.]]

* BerserkButton: Steven Wilson fans pushed it after his review of ''The Raven That Refused To Sing''. Also, Childish Gambino seemed to push it in his lyrics on his ''Camp'' album, which got one of the lowest scores Anthony's ever given.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His pre-2010-to-2011 videos, recorded with much more [[NoBudget meager means]], don't feature Cal, and are recorded against a black background instead of in front of his apartment walls as they are in later videos.

* WordOfGod: Anything reviewed for ''Classics Week'' is a [=10/10=].

* ReviewsAreTheGospel: '''Strongly''' discourages this attitude. Regardless of this, his reviews tend to be regarded this way at least on [[Imageboards /mu/.]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: After about [[FallenCreator three years of mediocre and disappointing releases,]] he regained interest in {{OFWGKTA}} with the release of ''Wolf'' and Earl's 2013 output.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Anthony deciding to spend a week reviewing classic albums in celebration of hitting 50k subscribers.
** Anthony showing his entire vinyl collection.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Cal Chuchesta; he doesn't appear in many videos but fans of the series love him and request more Cal videos.
