Thanks for not doing the “ this is just my opinion, you are allowed to disagree “ that everyone else always does

ajr is my favourite band and i understand your critizism but to be honest i am not here for the lyrics i am a fan of hype music so just remember that everyone has theyr own opinion you sound more like you are tellig people to get away from ajr still cool video and i love your honest opinion no one would be so truthfull like you good video would recomend my friends!

You can not stop them from making music

Bro, this song is so sad. He talked about his dad dying and it was really emotional for him so should have rated fire

By the way, going to London is a fan favorite so you shouldn’t judge it

I Want to the maybe man concert

How do you hate AJR?

even though i dont agree with some of the things you said in the video this is the best reaction i think ive ever seen from any youtuber like wow a reaction youtuber who adds comentary to what their watching wow thats a first.

Listen I’m a hard AJR fan but I understand AJR criticism

This reaction was cringe

Honestly, I disagree with your opinions on most of these songs, but I respect it. this album has done so much for me. Their concert was amazing, and of course, I wouldn't recommend you go to one since you dislike beat drops and the part where they actually play music, but I personally really loved it. :)

You should like react to recordings of their tours (coobloob has a good video of tmm)

aw man, i love formiddable and bounce man

Self titled is my second favorite album, the lack of Josh is tragic but the feeling and story behind it, especially with minimal production, is so well written and displayed. Just my opinion tho :)

I remember when i was like nine or ten yrs old and SAI released. I thought it was such a cool cover. But I didn't know that like in april this year I started listening to Overcompensate. I watched a lot of YT videos to get more knowledge about the lore and when Clancy released it was such a BANGER. I think Clancy is the best album, but I think it's not because i was a TØP when Trench was released. I really like your content so keep up what your doing!

I agree with a majority of these points but my main reason for liking SAI is the fact that for all of the songs that are bad, the good songs hit SO hard. Like I find myself jamming out to Never Take It, No Chances, and The Outside whenever they're on and that's what makes me stand by this album.

This guys a living example of confirmation bias. Before a song he’ll say something and look for examples of why he’s right instead of hearing the song as a whole. Also he’ll give a claim with no evidence. “Jack doesn’t have a convincing voice” what about it isn’t convincing? Feels like you’re going into this as an “AJR hater” and you want to keep the title instead of just reviewing the album. Once again rolling back to confirmation bias

If I may, I'd suggest ranking AJR songs. I just think, as a huge fan of theirs, it would be kind of cool to see what someone who dislikes their music thinks is better than the rest!

If Dominix99 says something about 21 pilots it is a fact!

Twenty one pilots really just tell stories in ways that feel like your watching a Cinematic movie

no tienes ni puta idea chaval

As in my opinion, Paladin Strait is underrated. It is a very epic, emotional and powerful song that concludes the story (at least if we believe them), I would personally put it in the top tier as like it more each time I listen to it

AJR is a music You have to get used to like black coffee or beer. It feels Like a lot of this video was just you dissing on them, and not giving a real opinion. I think if You lean into the beats, and kinda bop to it. You would get used to it, and actuelly begin to enjoy it. AJR is not really meant for kids. They talk about sex, issues with relationships, things Like that. another thing, the clashing of the instroments are something that people find to be "hype" or something to dance to in a way. Your opinions are heard, And most are agreed. have yourself a good day sir!

Clancy is DEFINITELY their best album, just my opinion

Funny how you are quoting other songs whilst saying you hate them

Top 5 In My Opinion: 5. Guns For Hands 4. Car Radio 3. Taxi Cab 2. Navigating 1. Neon Gravestones

most of these are valid but at times i feel you miss understand the message 29:51

So cool! Thank you!!!

i had no idea idea steves going to london mentioned kendrick

It's kinda amazing watching videos like this and understanding all the different opinions there can be about something. I love much of the AJR songs but truly dislike some of their songs, some truly make me see why people hate them, but others really show me the reason I like their songs. Good video btw, it's nice that you shared your thoughts so peacefully instead of dreadfully ranting about the songs.

My Top 5: 1) Chlorine 2) Ode to Sleep 3) Oldies Station 4) Car Radio 5) Air Catcher

You broke my heart the second you put semi automatic and not today in C tier some of my top 5 TØP songs 😭🙏

Idont really agree with oretty much anything you say. I dont See anything Bad with their songwriting. You Just dont Like their Style. I a bit sad That you Just Trash in the Song and dont really try to understand That.

Mostly agree except the low placements of Hometown and Johnny Boy. Cmon

I appreciate the ranking of Routines in the Night

I do think bounce man is overrated but I also don’t think it’s f, more like d for me. Formidable is at least c tho

That list is kind of mainstream but way different from mine, which I made a video on. It's interesting to see how different people like this band for different reasons. One of the reasons 21 Pilots is so good, I think

the hype being put in s, while deserving top 5, made up for all of the sins here ofc take this with a grain of salt, fun video :)

justice for bounce man!!!!! but agree on formidable being forgettable lmao

him: OKO is the worst album also him: likes more OKO than the other albums

bounce man slander WILL be tolerated (literally the WORST song by TOP, and literally can NOT be played around anyone who is a non-TOP fan and has a dirty mind)

I didn’t watch this video past the first song because you didn’t seem excited or interested in liking it. All criticism. That’s not interesting to watch. I want to watch someone that is fan of music and appreciates the artists work.

Bruh oldies station is a top 5 for me.

You should stop reacting :)

You are trippen.. TEXAS hold em is a SINGLE. its supposed to be relatable, basic and easy for everyone to understand. If its to musically complex it would not be a radio hit.

I liked the commentary and criticisms; I felt that the context of Turning Out P3 is better with the context of being an AJR fan for the first two parts, and also the comments others have made about the meaning/context of Inertia. I also think that DJ's violin, while random, is part of its overall charm and sound for a lot of fans. But overall, as others have said, thank you for not just hating endlessly on it as critics like Brad (and others) do.

Just gonna say, after seeing the tour live, you can can definitely see that the album works perfectly with the story they are doing throughout their show.

Solid tier list

I think listening to this album again with the meaningful context will make it a more understandable and appreciative album for you. She is mixing the decades of when country music came from to where it is now, in the country black community. All the artists featured were already in the country music genre but not given their dues. Beyonce is not only kicking down the door to make way for her but for others that are fighting to be played on the radio and given respect in that space. She does a history lesson so subtle that it will pass you until you find out "why this and that" about the album. As for Spagetti not fitting..the term "Spaghetti western" is in reference to Europeans making American like westerns with the over exaggerated violence, like an Italian opera. "DAUGHTER" For example. It may not have been a coincidence that Spaghetti followed that song. Lol Same with Jolene being followed by Daughter. Like a continued story. First she warns the other woman from trying to mess with her man and home life, then she's fantasizing about going off on her...and maybe him. "HOW LONG CAN HE HOLD HIS BREATH BEFORE HIS DEATH?" The dramatic inner thoughts she has while trying to compose herself not to go there. Great transitions with the story telling of those songs, imo. American Requiem, in context, is an important message opening and then to end the album with the last verse "them old ideas, are buried here, Amen". Out with the old gate keeping and in with the new generation of diversity and respect for artists and their contributions. Linda Martell being included in this album shows so much respect and homage to a pioneer who first faced so much opposition for being the first woman to play the Grand Ol Opry and face the hatred and backlash..something Beyonce is familiar with...from micro aggressions to out right toxic racism to her face. "HELLO MY OLD FRIEND. (racism) YOU CHANGED YOUR NAME, BUT NOT THE WAYS YOU PLAY PRETEND." It reads like Nazi minded right wingers who now calls themselves "nationalists". Doesn't matter how you rebrand what you call yourselves. The mindset is the same. A short came on my feed that had someone that was in the audience the night of her CMA performance, it was a celebrity (can't remember who) but they said from where they were standing people were talking while she was singing on stage. They were saying "Get that black B***h off the stage , and other racists things." She is a pro so of course she was going to finish her performance. American Requiem "THERE'S A LOT OF TALKING GOING ON, WHILE I SING MY SONG. THERE'S A LOT OF CHATTER IN HERE, BUT LET ME MAKE MYSELF CLEAR. CAN YOU HEAR ME, OR DO YOU FEAR ME?" Ya-Ya gets me turnt up so hard. It's like a tribute to old school black rock and roll from the 60's, sound. The song had the heavenly essence of old school Tina Turner from the 60's in her country rock era. The styling and especially the indtruments used were traditionally used in that era of music. Rodeo Chitlin show is basically the tours that black artists in the 50's, 60's and I think 70's too, did. They used safe backroads to travel in and played at safe black communities in the country, and because of segregation..the they weren't allowed to play in many white venues. Artists that toured them: Tina Turner, James Brown, The Jackson Five and many others. Dolly Parton use to use her long acrylic nails as a musical instrument by grazing them together...she did this is at the transiting and opening for Tyrant. Dolly is in the chorus throughout the song. I loved the differentiating layering of Bey and Miley together. Miley has expressed several times throughout her career of how much she admires Beyonce and is inspired by her. Beyonce made a wish come true, years and worked with Miley. Sorry you didn't like it. A few songs took me a few listens, and even watching others react to it to get a different take, understanding or even how it sounds more appealing the more you listen to it. Some do grow on you that you were maybe on the fence about. Now, there are many who still have a box to put her sound in, so it could be jarring for some people to like her softer more mellow songs on here. Alligator tears is an example. If you set your mind to her being this marathon run beast with growls and fast paced beats...it will likely not let you give the opposite a chance. However, not everyone is going to like everything great artists put out. There are many MJ songs that are duds for me, but he can still sing them well. It just wasn't my vibe. Beyhive knows and understands that, but with any fanbase, you'll get the overdramatic uberfan who makes the rest of the fandom look bad. We aren't all mindless bullies trying to force you to like her, like some fandoms do. Hmm, hmm..talking about the artist pushed as an anti Beyonce type. The hatred for this woman is insane. She challenges the status quo, gives strength and fire to females and disregarded minority groups and it's got the opposition PISSED! The music industry gate keepers are foaming at the mouth to destroy her. They have been using their resources to make the other one so big and imo she is mediocre. Absolutely overrated, but made it in the billionaire's club? People are hyping her up and saying she's the closest thing to MJ's level..like what? Yet, mention Bey that way and they lose their ish. How dare we compare this black woman to the holy great artistry of MJ? She's taken hers to new heights that have now surpassed what he did with the direction of his music and creativity. Unfortunately, Mike's life was that of scandal and attacks by the time his career was winding down. Bey has let that toxic energy fuel her fight and came up with clever pushback. This isn't just a "drop that beat, so you can drop your butt" album, but it has depth. It took me awhile to really like Renaissance, because there were lot of hit and miss on it, but, I did appreciate it after awhile. The focused audience was for the LGBTQ+ Community so I get how that album was very near and dear to them. I can appreciate the music more knowing its purpose and for the message and positive energy it created. I am jealous of everyone who could afford to go to that tour. Lol I didn't even get to see the movie, when it came out. That's how more and real life is out here now. Lol still waiting for her to release it to buy though. Fingers crossed. I respect your take on this album. Considering the lack of context you had at the first listen, I think you were being fair enough. People's minds change after a few more listens and context. Either way, the woman is on a different level that others faves could never...EVER! I said, what I said. Lol. Blessings to you. 💜👑🐝
