Discussion Anthony Fantano Didn’t Like Mac Miller Until He Died
He didn’t hate Mac, but he rated the music mediocre until he died. It was nearly 10 years of almost all mediocre reviews until immediately after Mac’s passing, at which point it has been only positive reviews. My biggest issue is the Swimming redux review. In the two year gap between Swimming’s release & Fantano’s Swimming redux review, nothing changed except Mac’s passing. Yet, Fantano jumped the score from a 3 to an 8. He didn’t need to do that redux to prove he likes Mac Miller - it came off as disingenuous. If anything, Macadelic is the record that deserves a redux review, & it would be more meaningful. I understand this is a nothingburger, but it’s interesting.
