Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[robrules]

can we bring back the dislike to like ratio i wanna see something

[miskeenamina]

you just don’t understand until you’ve listened to the album on a freezing cold bus on your way to a small town college in the pacific northwest anthony.

[davidmaximjr]

This is the most Connecticut reaction to an album about New England

[finncarey]

Anthony just cause his mom forgot you existed doesn’t mean you have to give him a 4

[koruscott]

As a Northern Canadian person, this album immediately started to worm its way into my heart with "Northern Attitude". I definitely think it's a bloated album and there are many tracks that still don't stand out in my mind after many listens...but having this as the backdrop while driving through the wilds of British Columbia at dusk with sunset skies, sparkling water on the horizon, and geese flying overhead...I just have a big soft spot for it, man.

The first 3 songs are literally pure heat this is blasphemy

[laurasanders]

The comments on this video are saving me from getting bitter lol

[mikhahl]

I respect Mr Fantano's opinion but the itch this album scratched reached so deep into my soul I think I'll still be listening to Noah for years and years. Nothing else resonates quite as well emotionally, but maybe I just don't listen to enough music

As an Australian who lives the furthest away from Vermont anyone possibly can, this entire album lyrically takes me there and makes me “feel” like I am. I grew up in a small country town, I wanted to escape it (this is where homesick resonates with me) and songs like you’re gonna go far because it’s that yearning for getting the fuck away from the small town but that constant tickle at the back of your mind telling you to go home. View between villages and New perspectives were songs that drove me crazy because it finally felt like someone knew what it felt like. The music is basic folk music but the reason I love it so much is that it makes me feel like I’m at a pub listening to some kid from my high school do a 15 minutes of fame session. The music is mid but man do the lyrics hit home. Also you are being harsh on the music a tad, the build up of Halloween is such a masterpiece.

swing and a miss dog. the writing felt remarkably personal and raw to me. every single song hits me, and I idk, I saw absolutely nothing wrong with the instrumentals. it had enough variety to keep it interesting, but restrained enough to highlight his very nice singing.

I'm in love with it!

My wife was a big fan of Noah's early stuff, but this album (well, the original. I'd swap some of the WABHF tracks for some of the original tracklist) really struck me. I've also been enjoying the ongoing series of duet singles he's pulling from the record. I get not being into it if you weren't into the Stomp Clap Hey sound that was all the rage a decade ago, but I'm a big sucker for simple folk music by sad white guys so I'm on this train until it derails.
At the end of the day, "I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them" is the kinda line that hits you in the gut, and for me that's enough.

In the most humble way possible, Anthony gets a “Not Good” on this review

[TrinityStarkey-dq]

I’m watching this and honestly don’t believe that you even listened to the album

[allischaeffer]

i think part of the appeal of this album is how accessible the music is - it's not super deep, but just enough to scratch that itch

[buttermoth]

Anthony you did not need to review my favorite album of the last year 6 months after it released only to give it a 4/10

subscribed.

[JonathanMooney]

Respect your opinion obviously, but dammit I love this album. I think the songwriting is really poignant. I love the tone of his voice. Honestly, my only complaint is that it’s a little bloated, but I still wind up listening to the whole thing and enjoying it, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[LeonardGashi-gs]

I love this album. It's the first album in a time that made me feel something

[ElectricEnzo]

I was so happy when I saw the notification and I watched the video and now I’m so sad

[ynkee]

Not sure bald dude here knows what he's talking about. Not a real fan of the genre but Noah has really put out some of the best music I've heard recently.

[scottneumeier]

While there’s a stomp here and a holler there on this album, I wouldn’t say it fits into that genre of folk and definitely has its own lane and unique qualities.
