"You give out too many 10s. I feel like a Fantano 10 used to have this aura, this mystique. There was a time when a 10 was more coveted than a Grammy..."
HA! Okay, sorry.
"But in recent years, I feel like they have become watered down, especially with you going back and giving perfect scores to albums retroactively. Be honest, how often do you revisit In the Aeroplane Over the Sea? Is it more than you listen to Sinner Get Ready?"
You know I'm a millennial, right? You know millennials will take a bullet for In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, correct?
Like, okay, yeah, I've done a handful of videos where I've gone back to some particular decades and I've given already widely praised and beloved albums 10s, as if that's something that even really matters in the grander scheme of things. You're really watering down the 10s by saying this amazing, perfect, beloved album is perfect and beloved.
But, also, I've been doing regular album reviews for going on 16, 17 years now at this point. Over that course of time, I've only given out nine real-time 10s. This argument is even crazier when you consider that on my main channel, there's, like, 5,000-plus reviews. Yeah, man, I'm just slinging those 10s around left and right like they're nothing!
What do you think?
