MinistryofMusic YouTube Channel [Video about the Hiatus]

Not sure how many people read or find this blog have found Alex's YouTube Channel, but I imagine there could be some.

As I explain in this relatively short video, Alex has not made a new video for nearly 2 months, which given he went well over a year making pretty much 2 every day, was kind of unusual.

And then in December he privatized all 1000 of his videos, which also kind of raised a red flag.

No explanation.

Which as I mentioned in this video, is perfectly fine given it's his channel, etc Things happen, and he isn't required to keep them up nor even offer anything as to why.

But as a fan, like many of the subscribers to Ministry of Music, it certainly is different without him making videos of late.  But we'll see hopefully eventually as to what the future holds for his channel and everything.

He's on Social Media including YouTube at least, but he does seem to be keeping a lower profile since this happened.

I guess if he never comes back, like I mentioned, maybe some other channels like my own will have to try and pick up the slack in our prolific-ness, which I may somewhat, but my 2017 Outlook is unclear with a lot of LIFE things still factoring in. Although perhaps making videos like this one, outside of my home could increase some of my activity. We'll see.

Oh and as I posted in the description box on the Video:

I give my 2 Cents about MinistryofMusic's channel and current hiatus, etc.

MinistryofMusic's Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJOL4vRnYltRIcXHcRhjMPw

Edit: He has Almost 2000 Subscribers, not almost 1800.

And he made a little over 500 Album Reviews, at least just scanning the list I was keeping here:

So ever since discovering this young man from Wales YouTube Channel nearly a year ago, its become kind of a staple and addiction to check out his album reviews (and "React to Watchmojo" lists among other Lists like from Magazines, etc).

And with his album reviews, like many reviews/reviewers, he often gives a rating for the album. Out of 10.  So a couple of months ago, it got me curious what every album he's reviewed would look like in a comparison. So I went ahead and reviewed all his reviews and I finally completed a ranking of every one he's done on this channel which per the below description, began on May 31st, 2014.

Now, mind you, he's said he intends to re-review many of these albums, so the rating that he gave many of these albums when the review was uploaded, would likely now be different. Particularly, some of the Dream Theater albums and even like Deadwing from Porcupine Tree.

I think he has only re-reviewed 1 album, being Rush's Signals, which I included on the below list of course. But if I recall, Alex has said he intends to re-review a number of others. And I guess with the interest to keep this list accurate and up to date, I'll have to edit and bump this entry when that happens.

Also I compiled a list of albums that from watching the reviews multiple times, I did not hear him give a rating at this point. 11 albums as it comes to. Perhaps those also will be re-reviewed at some point and then given a rating, etc.

The Bolded albums are most if not all the albums I personally requested that he reviewed. I know there are some I requested that he has not reviewed yet. But given the list below is 1-419, I will plan to update/edit/bump this in the future, more from myself should show up.

However I have ceased to requesting more albums for him to review per his extensively long list of requests (1 user named JoeyRuss guessed around 250 or more recently), I figured to ease up on them and let him try and catch up. He's closing-in on 500 reviews which I would guess will come sometime near my Wedding in September.

He does tend to chose big albums to review at Milestone numbers, like Scenes from a Memory at 100,  Pet Sounds at 200,  The Wall at 300, Ziggy Stardust at 400, etc, so 500 certainly may be something pretty significant.

And I was thinking of making a similar/transcribed list on to rateyourmusic.com which is certainly easily able to update, etc. Perhaps around the time of his 500th review.

Why? I guess this can both be a neat resource for the past and future reviews. Partially per his taste and my own align somewhat well, so I just thought it would be neat to see how his ratings may compare to my own and just among his own tastes. The re-reviews I suppose could certainly reflect on this current rating ranking in the future.

I counted 46? 10/10's which is not far off from the number of albums I have on rym at 5-stars which is somewhere in the 50's or 60's I recall.

Description
Hi, I'm Alex and I will review the albums that I have bought. So if you want unbiased reviews from a 15 year old guy with a broad music taste, then watch my videos. In my spare time, I play drums for a Hard Rock/Blues Rock band in South Wales, hoping to be a successful originals band.

Random Artist Feature: Pure Reason Revolution (16 mins)

Not exactly a perfect video, especially considering I chose them partially per the size of their discography.

And length-wise, 16 minutes was hardly ideal, but so be it.

I just thought, despite lower viewership, I still have been meaning to make a bunch more of these videos, even if people don't watch them initially.

And my Tuesday Half-days have gotten off to a bit of a slow start with these per last week I went to see The Lobster, and the week before I brought my car in to have the oil changed, etc. But if all goes well, I should have the chance to come home late in the morning and make more of these during that time, if not other times.

Lots of work and Wedding stuff has been taking up my time of late, but hopefully those 1/2-days especially will help.

As far as PRR, they're a favorite, and there's not much more to say. Ministry of Music recently mentioned he dropped some requests, including my request for a review of The Dark Third, so that kind of inspired me to go ahead and make a video about PRR.

Some Lists Coming (89.3 + Ministry of Music)

89.3 The Current's 893 Voter Albums list is nearly done as of the latest update I saw a few minutes ago, they were at #54 and they look to count down all the way to #1 by this evening 8PM?

So as I posted in when I included my submission, I would link or actually post the results, and sadly, I've been tracking it every day over the last 4 or 5 days.

What I mean to include in it is naturally a "React To" write-up of sorts. I'm not sure if I'll pull many punches of course, but we'll see.

Also a TALLY of artists stats; how many albums from each artist, etc

But it also got me thinking, if I could make a list of that many albums I enjoy, that would be the mother of all the lists I've made.

It would likely JUST BE A LIST and maybe like the Midseason entry, a Summary of sorts.

Perhaps a few images, but just for the interest of time of course, I just would include a list of albums. And perhaps songs from them, at least on many.

The other project I've been busy with of late is to compile a ranking list and order/links to all of Ministry of Music's Album Reviews. You can find them obviously on his YouTube channel page, but they are not ranked throughout some 390 reviews or so he's done.

I happen to really enjoy his channel and thought it might be cool to get an idea about how albums compare ratings-wise to one another. 

More YouTube Channels I Subscribe to

This is a follow-up or update of some kind on some more YouTube Channels I've discovered and gone back to a lot of late (Here's the post from a few months ago)

And this update seems to be a lot about the Music Reviewing community on YouTube and the social aspect to it.

Also the fact in the last month or so, I finally, after so many years, discovered a way to check out YouTube at work, which more or less made a lot of YouTube videos like potential podcasts to me. I more or less have been YouTube-podcast heaven for the last month, with such a variety and depth of stuff to check out.

Even just long interviews with musicians and what not, have totally given me a plethora of discussions to check out, that I never did before. I suppose interviews included, as I found an Anthony Phillips one a few weeks ago that was great to check out at work, that went well over an hour.



Ministry of Music
I've really gotten into a lot of this guy's videos. Part of it could be purely on his taste in music and progressive rock I guess. I also really enjoy his "React to WatchMojo" videos, as he frequently both has funny critical comments on the results of the lists (and the clips they show), along with echoing my and many others feelings about their lists.

And he's rather prolific as he has been able to make 4 or 5 videos a week or more. Although part of that could be per it is Summer and he's had more free time of late, I dunno.

He makes comments that are both funny and warranting comments about. Even just some of the specifics, the fact he reviewed both Bend Sinister and Jellyfish tells you something about his taste and mine.

And he more or less will review anything music related, which is admirable.

And frankly, I never find myself bored with his videos. I suppose like some others on this latest update, it has helped with my new found ability to just listen to them at work to pass the time. I.e., they are more like podcasts than videos to me.  But regardless of that, this guy's videos really keep me engaged and I hope he is able to continue making them for as long and often as he has been able to.

Honestly, if this dude were even a fraction as well known as The Needle Drop, I would probably start promoting his channel every chance I get. I would say for now at least, along with a new podcast about progressive rock I discovered, I cannot get enough of his channel.

00jets aka Superior Reviews
This guy I stumbled across when he asked a rather forward/egocentric question in a recent The Album Man's Q&A. And it was odd as his question and then his videos I later came to discover were rather character-driven from a narcisstic and outspoken viewpoint, in a lot of ways. That is why he took or referred to himself as "Superior Reviews."

But I later came to realize it was at least in a lot of ways, a Bit, and a rather funny one to me. Even just how he did his "It's time, for another episode of..SUPEEEEEEREEEE-ERRRRR REH-VOOOOOOOOZZZZZZ" ..He yelled it so loud into the mic, I got into the habit of always lowering the volume when he did. But I got used to that and actually usually found it funny in a character/meltdown-ish sort of way.

But also it turned out, he has a lot of common taste to me in his interest in older progressive rock and classic rock, and so I ended checking out a lot of videos.

I also like how he seems to be rather social with other reviewers which led me to find many other recent channels which I'm grateful.

However, this past week he made a video for the 1st time showing himself on camera, which was largely in part to his changing/transitioning his channel to a more common/traditional format. I'm not sure if his strong/character-driven personality will change dramatically; but also the fact he is having to sacrifice some anonymity (for professional reasons among others), may not give him much of a choice.

But his taste and hopefully activity level is reason for me to still be going back to his videos.

DownFall
I found this guy's channel per Superior Reviews and also noticed how active he was both in making videos and commenting on videos. And his taste in progressive rock and metal was one of the reasons I started enjoying his videos as well.

Whether it be for the details in each review, or even just common taste and covering bands I enjoy of course, including Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd? I think as well. And he's a Fates Warning fan as well.

He knows his stuff, and he also seems to be into a decent amount of modern music like many reviewers (Porcupine Tree and Opeth seem to be usual suspects of course).

Superior Isotope
This guy was formerly known as "Insignia Reviews" but changed his channel's name to sort of reflect Superior Reviews influence I guess. I do enjoy his channel, although I haven't spent as much time with many of videos as some others. But my sense is, his taste parallels some of the others in this cool, underground music reviewing community with progressive rock and metal.

Iron Maiden seems to be a favorite of his. But he does enjoy a lot of classic prog stuff I guess as well.

2 Metal Heads
I was referred to this new channel about 2 relatively close in age to me Metal Heads living out in the East Coast, from a friend who lives out there as well.

Anyway, this is fun little channel where the 2 guys just chat about recent news, albums, stories, for the most part related to Metal. They have good banter, and some of the opinions are definitely worth a laugh or to, even if at times it's a bit Male-oriented (or even Caucasion-Male).

And for a new channel, I give them credit with being prolific, as they seem to make 1-2 videos at least per week.

A good diversion during my workday from even talk radio and the music I do take in.

The Strong Boyz 19

I have checked this guy's videos sparingly, since subscribing like a month ago. And I do enjoy them overall. Some of his strong opinions are pretty entertaining to hear. Ripping pop music. I forget, but he did 2 or 3 videos talking about musical artists that are overrated if I recall, and I remember really enjoying those.

He is a bit like Ministry of Music in that sense, although I'm not sure his taste is as close to mine and MoM's is, but so be it. I do recall he enjoys some prog and classic rock anyway, which is how I found his channel I recall. And I certainly have enjoyed his videos and will be going back to them.


That is the Plan

This is Anthony Fantano's other and possibly original? YouTube Channel, which I think at 1 point, he meant to keep it rather low-key, and a bit of secret. Mainly because he includes a lot of stuff he does not include on The Needle Drop channel. Stuff like music news and news in general.

Also The Needle Drop podcast, which for my work, works well, as the discussions are of podcast-length (30-to-well-over-1 hour). I find TND podcast to be hit and miss. Some of the topics and guests I do enjoy, namely one where he had a fellow YouTube reviewer, who specializes in Film reviews. Or another he had on a guy who works on engineering music. I would of course love to ask that guest he had on, about Kevin Gilbert's music. But I also question if leaving a comment would even lead to anything as it frequently does not.

But the truth is, over the last couple of months or more, I find I watch TND's channel less and less, but I do check out and enjoy this channel a lot more. It's more real-life, and not so fancily-edited, etc. And it is in a lot of ways, Anthony being Anthony, and not thinking about the words he uses, etc.

And the fact he will cover music he doesn't on TND channel, which often is stuff I'm into.

Consequence of Sound: Rock it Out Blog

This is a channel affiliated with the website of course, which is a bit like My YouTube Channel. It has a weekly? I guess panel show every Friday which discusses music and I guess entertainment news. Often new releases and such.

The main host is this guy named Sami Jarroush, who I recall has done some Google Hangouts with The Needle Drop and some others.

The Friday show is usually him and like 2 or 3 or more guests from their site/blog and some other music sites/publications. Last week, I think they had someone from AVCLUB.COM, which I usually wonder when I see the name if they took their name from Freaks and Geeks.

I guess overall I like this channel, although taste-wise, they only crossover to my taste to an extent. I did just yesterday, stumble upon THIS REVIEW of The Dear Hunter's new album, Which was done on their website/blog of course, but if it manages to also be discussed on their channel, I will definitely be surprised and little impressed (even if they hate it).

They are also based in Chicago which is interesting, and they film their episodes at the JBTV studios, which of course I got to see Bend Sinister perform back in 2013 (and had Ours among others).

I also will credit them with some of their SXSW coverage, and man-on-the-street or concert-interviews, that I've enjoyed. I recall they interviewed Chromeo last year among others.


The Music Zone

I found this channel just a few weeks ago, and they are based from a U.K. music store that makes videos every Friday for the new releases, namely VINYL. Which given it is Friday now where every album is being released globally I guess, it makes some sense. The counter to that is of course, so much music is just bought digitally, so it's kind of moot. But there are still a fair amount of physical releases and reissue/re-pressings/boxed sets, etc every week  to warrant it.

Foxy Pancakes

I probably should have included her channel on the last entry as I have been watching her channel for a number of months now. It';s a channel of videos from 1 woman whose a Metal Head, like 100%. She more or less is into Metal, and her videos are almost all about Metal.

I have enjoyed her List videos and the Q&A's I suppose most.

She does know her Metal, including many more underground subgenres. From Black to Metalcore to Melodic Death, to Sludge, and Technical Death Metal. And even a fair amount of progressive stuff.

So there's enough of a crossover in my taste to want to keep going back to her channel.

SeaofTranquility.org

Like Consequence of Sound and my Channel, it is associated with the Sea of Tranquility website/blog. It is just 1 guy, Pete Pardo who makes the videos showing "What's Hot" mostly in his music collection. Mostly cds from what I have seen. And like the SoT site, it is mostly progressive rock and metal, with some occasional other bands here and there.

And with my taste, and even history enjoying SoT both the site and the magazine way back over 10 years ago, obviously some of the stuff he covers on his channel I do like, etc.

Also I guess he includes some other little things like food once in awhile which I find interesting and would go for a little more of. Kind of, of the curiosity, what do the fans of the music I like, enjoy, beyond the beer or whatever that is shown on a lot of other channels.

Jammindude

Like Foxy Pancakes, I probably should have included this channel in the last entry about YouTube, as I have been watching Ben's videos for well over a year on here. I suppose 1 reason I did not was his activity has been slowed in 2015, and his channel hasn't come up in my feed.

But I have known *The Dude* per some Dream Theater-related message boards and more recently on Facebook for quite awhile. And his taste of course does crossover a fair amount to mine. I remember he talked about the Fates Warning album a couple of years back and also a concert with Between the Buried and Me and some others.

Ben always has a "Black Russian" from memory, as his companion which is distinct. I could go for doing something similar, but I'm sober for the most part, so I'm not sure how well it would work for me. But it does for him and his videos.

Cover Kill Nation
I have known about or found this channel's videos, going back a number of years from memory. I just recall the guy would have topics about Metal that he was rather exclamatory. At least on the surface.
It definitely came across as quite Edge-y and potentially controversial. Which I guess I recall why I shyed away from his channel.

Also Metal I do like, but not as a primary thing, so that may have added to it.

But the guy has like 30,000 subscribers and is frequently mentioned by others, for better or for worse. And he just made the WatchMojo TopX Top 10 Music Review channels, and so I decided to subscribe finally to him.

I think at least 1 or 2 of the comments in that WMJ video mentioned how it's odd how he covers a lot more progressive rock than The Needle Drop does,  Which I honestly didn't realize, so that also got me more curious about his channel.

Ryan Rocks 84

I literally stumbled upon this channel the other day looking for Vinyl review videos and just from sampling a couple of them, this dude seems to have quite a lot of Vinyl videos, which I do like to check out. His taste seems pretty versed in 70's music from early impressions, including Pink Floyd and Zappa I recall. Unfortunately with Vinyl videos tho, I usually like to actually watch them and not listen to them at work, so more time may be required for me to get a sense about his channel and taste, etc.

Ralph Viera

Like Ryan Rocks 84, I found this channel via looking for Vinyl reviews as well. And if I recall though, this guy is into a lot of obscure prog and jazz namely. Which while both specifics I'm familiar with, I kind of wonder if watching some of the videos of his vinyl finds might get me more focused to investigate certain artists and albums specifically.

Also to add, I should be posting a PODCAST update as well soon as I have found some new shows among that format as well of late.
