QUADECA - I DIDN'T MEAN TO HAUNT YOU / 2022 / DEADAIR / AMBIENT POP, FOLKTRONIC, EXPERIMENTAL HIP HOP

7/10

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

[k.eshin_]

dignan’s influence on this album really shines through, you can almost hear the blood curdling screams of his victims in fantasyworld.

[julieschubert]

I love how much care and effort Quadeca took into making this project. I did not commit vehicular manslaughter on dec. 18th in Portland, Oregon.

[karmteller]

I think the fact that quadeca started hanging out with hivemind between the release of his last album and this one is why this album is so good

[diedforamir]

if this was called "I didn't mean to pimp your butterfly" you would've given it a 10

[videotapes]

Quadeca should be really proud of what he made. This album is very impressive.

[Syonide]

while I respect you and your reviews, i now know how the people who loved DAMN felt when you gave that record a 7

[LOAFVINO]

7 was the lowest score i assumed it could get. this album is a huge step for him and even though some might not like the mixing/muffled noise of some parts, it adds to the experience of him as a ghost. I've listened to nothing but this album since for the most part and it is easily one of the best works put out there this year. I've seen constant comparisons of this to other artist but it is unique enough to just stand on it's own

[khalewren]

Honestly, fantasyworld might be the song of the year for me. Absolutely love it.

[arsipantsu]

While most of us think this should've gotten a higher score, I'm sure Ben is giddy to see melon give his album a 7/10

[jacksonburnette]

One of the best albums this year, I was hoping for at least an 8, but Quad is gonna be so hype anyway.
I am not holding 4 melons captive in my basement in northern Massachusetts.

[olseaweedbeardye]

fractions of infinity is like the most incredibly impressive thing I think I could’ve expected from Quad. It’s been stuck in my head for like 4 days now, I LOVE THIS SONG

[JaxDobba]

I'll take a strong 7 tbh. I'm really happy for Quadeca he really deserves the best this album is fantastic

[bradymorrison]

Anthony you can’t just give this album a 0 because he’s a fellow youtuber and you could never make a psychedelic, hip hop inspired, indie, emo pop album.

[draketpt]

This Quadeca album is one of the best albums of the year. The amount of love he put into this project is unbelievable and noteworthy. I'm glad you reviewed it, Mr. Fantano.

[TTVArgusGuy]

Really surprised you didn't even mention the concept of the album - that being from the perspective of a ghost. Imo it adds necessary context to the album, and I enjoy it so much more with that in mind

[dngr-fld]

After following the over-arcing narrative that's told throughout the album, starting with Ben committing suicide, followed by him trying to talk to his grieving mom but she isn't able hear him, then getting upset when she moves on, and finally deciding to release carbon monoxide into the house so he can talk to her one last time (with Danny Brown rapping from the perspective of the carbon monoxide??) i'll admit that i fucking cried. this album really hit me in a unique way and i am insanely impressed and moved by what Quadeca has been able to make. he should be so proud of this project and i can't wait to hear what he has in store for the future <3

[danielmerriman]

I hope Quadeca gets his flowers on this one. Multiple listens and understating the concept of the record is a really essential for this album. I hope he’s doing okay now mentally. The lyrics are down right depressing at some points but I give this a strong 8 to light 9.

[riverscuomo]

Anthony, you can't take off 3 points because he haunted you, he didn't mean to do it.

[cagdas]

A seriously haunting project honestly. It genuinely made me feel like there were ghosts around me.

[chriss]

Really good review. I think the only thing that surprises me a bit is the glossing over of Knots. It seems to be, by consensus, one of the best loved songs on the album and his live reaction to it seemed really positive.
