If mgk wrote reptilia by the strokes. Instead of “yeah the nights not over your not trying hard enough” he would just sing “reptilia reptilia reptilia reptiliaaaaa”
true story: I (briefly) dated a girl who loved MGK. She said Bloody Valentine was "our song"... don't know what made her think that. it's like she didn't even realize that the song was about a guy trapped in a toxic, unstable relationship. or, she did realize that, and tried to use this song to justify it. we didn't stay together very long
I went to the official audio for Killshot, the Eminem disstrack of MGK, and all the comments were saying "Eminem sent him back in time and now he's making early 2000s music."
Paramore’s riot is a classic pop punk album that acc has good hooks, guitar lines and very convincing vocals from a band who were teenagers at the time
It’s hilarious how Hayley Williams was better at confessional songwriting at 17 years old than MGK in his 30s. Paramore blew up because they related to a teenage audience instead of pandering to them.
RIOT! and bne are virtually pop punk essentials. Hell, even if their first album (All We Know Is Falling) doesn’t age well compared to the others, it’s still good.
As someone who wears band shirts, dyes his hair, and likes emo and goth chicks, I felt like I was being pandered to in a “how do you do, fellow kids?” way when I heard that song.
It's because he hates mgk for all the wrong reasons. This could've been a great album and he still would bash it. He's a sheep. And sheep's follow the herd
For those aspiring musicians out there let this album inspire you. If MGK can release this shit and call it rock and roll, just imagine the actual good quality art you yourself can make !

@@spaceinky3628 where abouts did you see that? I had googled it when I heard the song but I couldn't find anything saying so. I don't know of any official sites to see that info though
The song FU on Avril Lavigne's new album, another Travis Barker project, also rips off Misery Business. Travis is gonna have to buy Hayley Williams a house
Morbid Stuff by Pup is EASILY my favorite pop-punk album, it actually has interesting lyrics, great production, and the best thing is it doesn’t sacrifice any harshness
it's crazy how at literally every level of pop punk you find music that is higher quality than anything MGK has ever made. -surface level mainstream pop punk like Blink 182, MCR, and Paramore all have GOAT hit songs and albums. -dig a little deeper and you'll find more scene classics from The Story So Far, Four Year Strong, New Found Glory. -look into the modern scene and you find amazing revival artists like Spanish Love Songs, Jeff Rosenstock, and PUP. -go back all the way to the 90s and you got your early emo tinged legends like Jawbreaker and The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World. it is SO easy to find pop punk that is objectively better in nearly every facet, better songwriting, choruses, riffs, mixing and production, that also isn't made by a narcissistic pedo poser pretending to be punk by riding a trend while also being worse than all his contemporaries, even Avril Lavigne and Olivia Rodrigo and fucking Willow Smith are making better pop punk in the 2020s i avoid being an elitist prick usually but the ONLY excuse for liking MGK is that you haven't listened to better music
i guess the one positive thing about his music is that it's probably a gateway to better music if you know what i mean... case in point, my girlfriend used to say she didn't like rock until she listened to MGK and starting digging the sound. i then proceeded to introduce other bands to her and currently she doesn't very much enjoy his generic music anymore and is now listening to actual good pop punk and even other rock bands in general. i can see a lot of people heading in the same direction in the near future, or so i hope
@@inkwisitive I don’t know if I’d call that pop punk though. Feels closer to punk revival stuff. But all of that is gold too. I was diving down the bands of the exact genre
two of my favourite pop punk albums of all time are WORRY. by Jeff Rosenstock, and Cosmic Thrill Seekers by Prince Daddy & The Hyena (although fair warning: the singer of prince daddy's voice will definitely take some getting used to. still though, amazing album)
I learned everything I needed to know about this herb when I read the story about the wedding ring he had made for Megan Fox. You know. The one that was made to INJURE her finger if she attempted to take it off? UGH
Modern Goldsmith actually made a video debunking MGK’s statement about it. So if anything, he was just being insufferably edgy and trying to get that sweet publicity like with the weed ninja story (the ring has a thorn theme to it, but nothing to suggest it’s actually stuck on her finger).
If you want good pop punk, I suggest either “Brand New Eyes” or “Riot!” from Paramore or “Nimrod” from Green Day or “Does This Look Infected?” by Sum 41. There’s tons of good stuff to choose from. But anything is better than this garbage.
Green Day, Blink-182, Paramore and Sum 41 are pretty much the big 4 of pop punk. My Chemical Romance, Ramones, Fall Out Boy, Descendants, Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Motion City Soundtrack and WEEEEEEEEZER are also the best in the genre. But yeah, it’s an amazing genre that’s brought down by all the garbage in it, especially nowadays.
Good pop punk: The get up kids - something to write home about Lagwagon - let's talk about feelings Paramore - brand new eyes Blink 182 - self titled Jawbreaker - dear you Mxpx - life in general
From Under the Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy is a classic and a great starting point; Brand New Eyes by Paramore is also incredibly solid with some fantastic songwriting
@@sarah29880 forget it MGK is doing great stuff, give up your pride and admit it... Are you guys not tired of Pop punk not being mainstream for close to a decade now, and finally it's back to mainstream partly due to his efforts.
@@emwantaeke1495 I was saying how even though MGK's music might be mediocre or even bad to others, it's good to realize that he's introducing other people to the genre, like myself.
@@emwantaeke1495 I like MGKs music and listen to it daily. I dunno what you are talking about. His music isn’t ground breaking but it’s a good listen. If you compare it to bands like brand new and TBS, I mean it’s not gonna be the same but who the hell care. Everyone has their preference.
I feel like "From Under the Cork Tree" by Fall Out Boy is the absolute peak in pop punk albums. They were the first band I ever got into when i was 9, and at 25 years old now it's still holds up for me more than some bands I got into in high school.
@@wherewego6960 FaD is amazing, but I wouldn't consider it pop punk. That was well into their soul/R&B/rock phase. Also the first half of that album is better than the second half, I feel.
for actual good pop punk, i recommend fall out boy's folie a deux. all of their pre-hiatus albums are solid, but i think this one is the most refined and self-actualized.
Fall Out Boy get shit for literally no reason lol. I went back and listened to a lot of pop punk and honestly even though I was never a FOB fan, I get the impression they were one of the few remarkable bands in the genre
@@darnfrick3354Theres plenty of reasons. The vocals, general attitude and lyrics are plenty reason to dislike them, especially if youre already not a fan of pop punk
You’re gonna miss it all by modern baseball is my favorite emo/poprock punk album, every song is short and sweet and hits a nice emotional punch with great lyrics all the way through, would recommend
@@lewisbirkett4428 true, they do got some cool riffs tho and some hella catchy hooks that you’d normally find in a great pop punk song, but not exactly pop punk core lol
Riot by paramore is a classic. Copacetic by knuckle puck, neck deep's life's not out to get you, and a lot of State Champs and The Story So Far's music are also great.
I highly recommend the holy bible by Manic Street Preachers (a Welsh rock band) the album's lyrics are absolutely brutal and some of the best dark poetry on any album, if you do listen to this album it may be hard to stomach some of the lyrics but it's an amazing album from an extremely underrated band.
I second this so hard! Manic street preachers are from my home town and they're so underrated (outside the UK in the 90s). No one reviews their stuff and they really deserve it. Amazing band
I really want Bradley to react to BMTH's standalone music because he was right. Oli (lead vocalist for BMTH) was giving a weak ass performance on this song
I have a theory that Oli gave a half assed performance because even he knew the song was shit and he just needed to fulfil a contract with a record label. If you watch the live debut of the song at Emo Nite, Oli looks really bored and awkward.
@@slick3996 for me it wasnt even when they went pop because i genuinely enjoyed some of amo and later projects. it's when they started making the sellout collabs, and also how die4u is a song completely catered to tik tok lol
@@dreamynachos3439 Real talk! I started listening to pop punk again around the time they released that, State Champs released Around the World and Back and Knuckle Puck was starting to really take off. What a great time to be a pop punk fan!! Saw all of them at Warped Tour around that time too RIP
A Not Good would be extremely merciful. This deserves a 0/10. You may say it's too soon since the Tones and I record, but I think his audience would understand.
“Tell all your friends” by Taking Back Sunday is a great example of early 2000’s pop punk that feels real and like they were passionate about making it. It’s very fitting that the best pop punk comes from the people who are the same age as the demographic that the genre is suited for. I’d definitely recommend TAYF
I think that’s a good example of an album (and a band) where the “whiney emo/pop punk” voice actually works in a big way. Mainly because Adam Lazzara sings like every emotion is coming out of his body at the same time where MGK just uses a sanitized diet version of that singing style as a crappy aesthetic.
Travis Barker is a good drummer. That being said, this is the first album I have listened front to back this year, and I found the drumming got redundant halfway through. I wish he played more grooves like Adam’s Song, Aliens Exist, or he’ll even Up All Night off of Neighbourhoods. I think there was a creative element missing near the tail end. He is the best thing about the album tho (I also thought Landon did an ok job too)
“Im a genius, coulda made Donda” made me pause the video, and facepalm for 3 minutes, muttering wtf to myself, increasingly mire baffled. THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN
The "Skinny Dipping" album by Stand Atlantic is some of my favourite pop punk at the moment. Great vocals, great drums, just overall a bop. I would also recommend anything by With Confidence to be honest. Also great video as always, thank you for doing gods work and sparing us from torturing ourselves
I'm way deep in the pop punk rabbit hole and this is easily one of the worst albums I've heard in the genre. Pop punk is my favorite genre and I can tolerate a lot of cheesy/cringey songs (I even kinda enjoyed ttmd) but this is genuinely horrible.
Frankly I think there's a lot of unfair accessment by you guys, I'm from Nigeria and I've followed bands in the mid 2000's like boys like girls, fallout boys etc. But MGK is doing something really cool and innovative that you guys don't seem to realise, but watch out for the chart dominance of songs from this album. It's gonna get you convinced and make you see it from a whole new perspective. The reason pop punk declined is as a result of this kind of mindset of not welcoming strange but crazy ideas into it, where of course it works in other genres like Hip Hop
I know they didn’t exactly give off the best performance on this album, but Bring me the Horizon’s last project, Post Human: Survival Horror, was fantastic and I’d recommend checking it out. If your looking for something that’s more pop punk and actually good, We Cool? and Worry by Jeff Rosenstock are great albums.
I wouldn't call Jeff Rosenstock pop punk but he is one of my favourite artists and would like to see a brad reaction to any Jeff, ASOB or BTMI record. I know he's heard post and liked it a bit
The Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady is the original pop punk album - a collection of singles in chronological order with all the B-sides on the second half. It's really good and influenced a lot of the second wave of pop punk in the 80s and 90s.
@@Heathmcdonald90s pop punk, the kind of quirky pop punk like blink 182 that is about fart jokes and pizza, whereas the buzzcocks were the literal pop take on punk. Even ramones were pretty pop punk from the beginning
You really took one for the team Brad. I’m curious what you think of the album Double Dare by Waterparks. I’m not sure if it’s considered pop punk exactly but I think it’s fun and a nice breath of fresh air in the genre.
On album of the year Brad reviewed Entertainment and had this to say "This band is horrible. I won’t rate this a 1 because in fairness I haven’t heard the whole thing... but good god this is one of the worst alternative bands I’ve ever heard" so I wouldn't hold your breath about it lmao
I've always hated this genre with a burning passion 98% of the time, so seeing its massive """"revival"""" in the form of this stuff has been excruciating lmao
Hey Brad, sorry you had to go through that. If you have a moment, have a listen to some of Taylor Hawkins stuff, "Cold Day in the Sun" and "Sunday Rain" (Foo Fighters), "Range Rover Bitch" and "Tokyo No No" (Taylor Hawkins), and some of the Sound City Album songs, just to name a couple tracks that he's sung (and played) on. There are also multiple videos of his last concert with a performance of Queen's "Somebody to Love" if you are strong enough to not cry while watching along. I hope you and anyone else have been able to cope if you got hit hard by his passing. I know I have, but I will make some changes now to get my life going better. Stay safe, brother - DK.
i honest to god believe that tickets to my downfall is a solid album. mainstream sellout is at least named appropriately cause it sure sounds like it compared to the last one if you compare the lyricism between ttmd and ms i promise you'll see where i'm coming from, by no means is ttmd a masterpiece but with songs like lonely and play this when i'm gone you can tell he cares a lot more about what he's doing if you want a good pop punk album, why not listen to what mgk is copying? enema of the state by blink-182 is an incredible album and mgk will never live up to it ever.
Imagine having to go see him in concert because your friends wanted to see AVRIL LAVIGNE (someone who actually has talent) OPEN for him. Why in the world Avril would not be the headliner is beyond me… but anyways, it was f*cking torture.
Also, if you want to check out some decent pop punk with some really thoughtful lyrics, give The Wonder Years a try. Either “The Upsides” or “Suburbia: I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing” are really worth your time my dude 👌🏻
This may be my biased opinion, but when I was in college, the Wonder Year's album Sister Cities was my go to. It's a fantastic pop punk album with interesting and organic production, unique song ideas, some of their best playing and lyricism and passionate singing as well.
Love Sister Cities, but I wouldn't really call it pop punk. It's more hardcore/emo influenced alt rock. As far as Pop Punk goes though, I don't think you could do much better than Suburbia: I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing or The Greatest Generation. Two of my favourite albums ever right there.
The Color and the Shape by Foo Fighters is definitely a pop punk classic. All Killer No Filler by Sum 41 is also really great, same with Paramore’s Riot album, just to name a few.
take this to your grave is known as one of the best punk rock albums but their post hiatus stuff could be called pop punk aswell, either way would love a FOB review! ik you said you where done with emo but honestly ive never thought of them as emo at all.
@@lewisbirkett4428 Modern Baseball, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, American Football, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab For Cutie, Bright Eyes, The Used, Saves The Day, Motion City Soundtrack, Brand New, The Promise Ring, Pierce The Veil, Jawbreaker, Rites of Spring, Pedro The Lion, Far, Onlinedrawing, Static Dress, 156/Silence and The Get Up Kids would all like to have a word with you.

@@thedogfromraditude5449 I'm a fan of modern baseball, american football and dcfc but I'd call them more emo or indie in the case of dcfc. Not a fan of ptv or jimmy and not heard the others
@@thedogfromraditude5449 i think people underestimate what counts as emo because they see it as a bad label, i think its all about how you define emo itself.
im an emo kid, huge mcr fan etc. can safely say i hate mgk. it doesnt even feel like emo, just the most transparent, shallow, copy of it. it feels like what my 55 year old parents would make up if you asked them to imagine an emo song.
My dad thinks he can't sing, but he has so much potential and has absolutely nailed a few songs. This said, I would unironically bet $100 that my dad could outsing MGK without even having to fully try
i never wish anything negative on anyone but that fucker needs to acually have at least some trouble in his life and humble himself, maybe it will force him into making better music

For a really good pop punk album in recent years I would have to go with "No Closer to Heaven" by The Wonder Years. It's innovative pop punk with real lyrics that don't just exist to relate with 14 year olds. I highly recommend this album if you want to hear good pop punk.
@@cinnemaninemanas4001 I was gonna comment the greatest gen but for 1 I personally like no closer better and I feel like it was a safer option but that's just me
I HIGHLY recommend checking out the title track to the raccoon tour album The Dentonweaver - the band, who has NateIsLame as a member, has a record that I haven't listened to in full yet. But, the production and style of that opening title track is absolutely insane, and I love the delivery even if it isn't for everyone
If you want a good follow this up, Paramore's debut album All We Know Is Falling would be a great example of 2000s pop punk that isn't dated. The chunky guitar tones make the riffs go hard, the song structures manage to be catchy while shaking themselves up and not getting old, and it'll be an oasis of singing that doesn't suck unwashed balls
i normally don’t like calling people posers because it’s kinda pretentious and posits unearned authority on who’s a “real” member of the scene and who isn’t, but if there’s anyone i can call a poser with confidence it’s machine gun kelly lmao.

How this wierdo got anywhere with his career is truly astounding,
Nobody wants to buy what he's selling? His last album was the number one pop punk album in the last decade, and it won a Grammy, but Nobody wants to buy what he's selling? Form your own opinion and quit following everyone else's. You just sound ignorant at this point.
@@brentbabrick6814 1. Just cuz something is popular and people r listening to it doesnt mean its good normally just very generic or bad. 2. It wasnt the no 1 pop punk album of the decade at all not even close. 3. DID NOT win a Grammy dont know where u got that bullsshit from lmao
For good pop punk the early green day and blink albums before their mainstream success. For Green Day, Kerplunk is my favourite, and for Blink it's Cheshire Cat. In terms of new pop punk artists I'd only say Pup and Jeff Rosenstock are good but it depends if you classify them as pop punk or just punk

The Dream Is Over is just as good, if not better! It also has a rare case of every song being great. PUP the GOATs.
I couldn't agree more! I also really love their 2nd album The Dream is Over
it's crazy how at literally every level of pop punk you find music that is higher quality than anything MGK has ever made.
-surface level mainstream pop punk like Blink 182, MCR, and Paramore all have GOAT hit songs and albums.
-dig a little deeper and you'll find more scene classics from The Story So Far, Four Year Strong, New Found Glory.
-look into the modern scene and you find amazing revival artists like Spanish Love Songs, Jeff Rosenstock, and PUP.
-go back all the way to the 90s and you got your early emo tinged legends like Jawbreaker and The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World.
it is SO easy to find pop punk that is objectively better in nearly every facet, better songwriting, choruses, riffs, mixing and production, that also isn't made by a narcissistic pedo poser pretending to be punk by riding a trend while also being worse than all his contemporaries, even Avril Lavigne and Olivia Rodrigo and fucking Willow Smith are making better pop punk in the 2020s

I wouldn't really consider either of these pop punk but there some of my favorite albums and I hope he reacts to them
Why do so many random famous people watch Brad? You're a legend btw!
5:45 Brad is an underrated pop-punk artist
Yeah he actually Sounds 🔥🔥🔥
I learned everything I needed to know about this herb when I read the story about the wedding ring he had made for Megan Fox. You know. The one that was made to INJURE her finger if she attempted to take it off? UGH
Modern Goldsmith actually made a video debunking MGK’s statement about it. So if anything, he was just being insufferably edgy and trying to get that sweet publicity like with the weed ninja story (the ring has a thorn theme to it, but nothing to suggest it’s actually stuck on her finger).
everything i've learned about MGK and Megan Fox has been against my will and i hate it that the more i know abt it the more i want to shoot myself
That was made up & the media ran with it. Be better than believing everything that the media tells you.
If the ring story is made up, it's still on brand. He's a herb, lol.
They drink each other's blood, that's enough information.
If you want good pop punk, I suggest either “Brand New Eyes” or “Riot!” from Paramore or “Nimrod” from Green Day or “Does This Look Infected?” by Sum 41. There’s tons of good stuff to choose from. But anything is better than this garbage.
Green Day, Blink-182, Paramore and Sum 41 are pretty much the big 4 of pop punk. My Chemical Romance, Ramones, Fall Out Boy, Descendants, Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Motion City Soundtrack and WEEEEEEEEZER are also the best in the genre. But yeah, it’s an amazing genre that’s brought down by all the garbage in it, especially nowadays.
YES NIMROD!! So diverse and mature for a pop punk album
Commit This to Memory is one of the best of the genre highly recommend
Brand New Eyes ❤
Pup, if you want something more modern
brad's freestyle offered more value and charisma than anything else on the entire record. thank you, bradley.
Good pop punk:
The get up kids - something to write home about
Lagwagon - let's talk about feelings
Paramore - brand new eyes
Blink 182 - self titled
Jawbreaker - dear you
Mxpx - life in general
Ironic, most of these albums were completely shitted on my reviewers like this album, especially dear you and something to write home about
that get up kids album i used to blast on my nigh shifts
Brand New - Déjà Entendu
Dear You, absolute GOAT record
From Under the Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy is a classic and a great starting point; Brand New Eyes by Paramore is also incredibly solid with some fantastic songwriting
From under the cork tree is definitely FOB’s peak in my opinion. They’ve never been as good since
Yeah the album is better than the singles, Our Lawyer.., I Slept.., XO are some of the most energetic FOB songs
@@bobbykoalaproductions God I love Of All The Gin Joints so much
Man emo girl is so cringe it hurts how can someone write such 1/10 lyrics while being 31 years old and married
You take this stuff way too seriously.
@@jeremyusreevu237 even if its satire doesnt mean its good. its still pathetic.
I guess you don't like fun...get over it. He doesn't have to write about his current experiences. Welcome to music weirdo
@@CoingamerFL FR! Even MCR made a satire pop punk song (I’m Not Okay I Promise) and it actually sounds GOOD and GENUINE
For me, it's not the fact that his music is mediocre, but it's introducing many to the genre of pop punk.
Agree
You and your type of individuals are the set of people dragging Pop punk backwards
@@sarah29880 forget it MGK is doing great stuff, give up your pride and admit it... Are you guys not tired of Pop punk not being mainstream for close to a decade now, and finally it's back to mainstream partly due to his efforts.
@@emwantaeke1495 I was saying how even though MGK's music might be mediocre or even bad to others, it's good to realize that he's introducing other people to the genre, like myself.
@@emwantaeke1495 I like MGKs music and listen to it daily. I dunno what you are talking about. His music isn’t ground breaking but it’s a good listen. If you compare it to bands like brand new and TBS, I mean it’s not gonna be the same but who the hell care. Everyone has their preference.
I feel like "From Under the Cork Tree" by Fall Out Boy is the absolute peak in pop punk albums. They were the first band I ever got into when i was 9, and at 25 years old now it's still holds up for me more than some bands I got into in high school.
FUTCT is one of my favorite albums actually, such a great record
Folie a Deux is my personal bias from them, though FUTCT is amazing too
@@wherewego6960 FaD is amazing, but I wouldn't consider it pop punk. That was well into their soul/R&B/rock phase. Also the first half of that album is better than the second half, I feel.
@@GuitarJosh161 True lol. Kinda forgot the original point of the discussion. Then yeah, FUTCT for sure.
@@wherewego6960 Still a valid choice!
"I'm not like th- a creepy age"
Well, he is now 💀
Thank you for taking the time to trash him. People give him waaay too much credit
Only children give that guy "credit". Do you care what a 7-year-old thinks? Didn't think so
for actual good pop punk, i recommend fall out boy's folie a deux. all of their pre-hiatus albums are solid, but i think this one is the most refined and self-actualized.
Fall Out Boy get shit for literally no reason lol. I went back and listened to a lot of pop punk and honestly even though I was never a FOB fan, I get the impression they were one of the few remarkable bands in the genre
@@darnfrick3354Theres plenty of reasons. The vocals, general attitude and lyrics are plenty reason to dislike them, especially if youre already not a fan of pop punk
You’re gonna miss it all by modern baseball is my favorite emo/poprock punk album, every song is short and sweet and hits a nice emotional punch with great lyrics all the way through, would recommend
I agree with modern baseball being solid but dunno whether I'd call them pop punk I'd say more emo
@@lewisbirkett4428 true, they do got some cool riffs tho and some hella catchy hooks that you’d normally find in a great pop punk song, but not exactly pop punk core lol
Omg same I only found them like a couple months ago and they’re by far my favorite band
modern baseball is so good, miss them everyday
i love mobo, sports is my personal favorite but yess ygmia is amazing. i miss em and hope brens doing good
Riot by paramore is a classic. Copacetic by knuckle puck, neck deep's life's not out to get you, and a lot of State Champs and The Story So Far's music are also great.
Thank you for doing this for us
Such a noble sacrifice
SEX!!!
I highly recommend the holy bible by Manic Street Preachers (a Welsh rock band) the album's lyrics are absolutely brutal and some of the best dark poetry on any album, if you do listen to this album it may be hard to stomach some of the lyrics but it's an amazing album from an extremely underrated band.
I second this so hard! Manic street preachers are from my home town and they're so underrated (outside the UK in the 90s). No one reviews their stuff and they really deserve it. Amazing band
THIS. That album is in my top 10 of all time
Manics so underrated. One of the best bands ever.
The Manics are amazing but I don't know how they relate to pop punk.
10/10 album
I really want Bradley to react to BMTH's standalone music because he was right. Oli (lead vocalist for BMTH) was giving a weak ass performance on this song
I have a theory that Oli gave a half assed performance because even he knew the song was shit and he just needed to fulfil a contract with a record label. If you watch the live debut of the song at Emo Nite, Oli looks really bored and awkward.
@@peacock0328 Either that or MGK told him not to sound better than him.
@@peacock0328 Exactly. If that was a BMTH song he'd be hyping up the crowd. Either he was contractually forced into it or he's done it for the bag
man i miss BMTH hardcore days, once they went pop it was all over for me
@@slick3996 for me it wasnt even when they went pop because i genuinely enjoyed some of amo and later projects. it's when they started making the sellout collabs, and also how die4u is a song completely catered to tik tok lol
for good pop punk i can't recommend Neck Deep enough. went to see them live last month and it was such a blast. Loving the recent videos Brad :)
Life's Not Out The Get You is THE 2010s pop punk album, one of the best the genre has ever produced.
hell yeah! i saw them live years ago and it is still one of my favorite concerts i’ve attended to this day
@@dreamynachos3439 Real talk! I started listening to pop punk again around the time they released that, State Champs released Around the World and Back and Knuckle Puck was starting to really take off. What a great time to be a pop punk fan!! Saw all of them at Warped Tour around that time too RIP
Can't wait for the not good from Fantano. The shitposting that'll come from this album will be LEGENDARY
A Not Good would be extremely merciful. This deserves a 0/10. You may say it's too soon since the Tones and I record, but I think his audience would understand.
1/10
@@countyfacts6920 pretty sure he already reviewed it by the time I'm posting this, but this is gonna be a strong contender for worst album of 2022
@@johnjson Will easily make the list for one of the worst albums this year for sure
“Tell all your friends” by Taking Back Sunday is a great example of early 2000’s pop punk that feels real and like they were passionate about making it. It’s very fitting that the best pop punk comes from the people who are the same age as the demographic that the genre is suited for. I’d definitely recommend TAYF
The album turned 20 years old today! Eugh!! Time to feel old!
I think that’s a good example of an album (and a band) where the “whiney emo/pop punk” voice actually works in a big way. Mainly because Adam Lazzara sings like every emotion is coming out of his body at the same time where MGK just uses a sanitized diet version of that singing style as a crappy aesthetic.
I really enjoy their album "louder now" or I did... I'll listen to it today. It's been years
So sick so sick of being tired and oh so tired of being sick
dude I only did listen to their debut but I was legit so blown away they dead put so much into their songs no sarcasm
he's not even a real machine gun
He listened to this, so I don't have to. The only plus side is Travis Barkers drumming. That man can do no wrong, especially with blink 182
Travis carries the album, the only reason why I kinda like it, but probably won’t listen to it ever again lol
Thugger got the only good verse lmao
Travis Barker is a good drummer. That being said, this is the first album I have listened front to back this year, and I found the drumming got redundant halfway through. I wish he played more grooves like Adam’s Song, Aliens Exist, or he’ll even Up All Night off of Neighbourhoods. I think there was a creative element missing near the tail end. He is the best thing about the album tho (I also thought Landon did an ok job too)
@@arithesheep5506 Iann Dior did well
@@JRNova11 Iann Dior is so boring imo
im convinced that giving anyone a week in a studio would end up with somehow a better album than this
“Im a genius, coulda made Donda” made me pause the video, and facepalm for 3 minutes, muttering wtf to myself, increasingly mire baffled.
THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN
Bro your joking singing is better that the actual Mgk singing lmao
The "Skinny Dipping" album by Stand Atlantic is some of my favourite pop punk at the moment. Great vocals, great drums, just overall a bop. I would also recommend anything by With Confidence to be honest.
Also great video as always, thank you for doing gods work and sparing us from torturing ourselves
Bro I love Stand Atlantic. I also like Pink Elephant
I'm way deep in the pop punk rabbit hole and this is easily one of the worst albums I've heard in the genre. Pop punk is my favorite genre and I can tolerate a lot of cheesy/cringey songs (I even kinda enjoyed ttmd) but this is genuinely horrible.
so what's wrong with it?
always worked with hip hop, where we have trap. MGK is truly the saviour of modern Pop Punk like it or not, that's the fact
Frankly I think there's a lot of unfair accessment by you guys, I'm from Nigeria and I've followed bands in the mid 2000's like boys like girls, fallout boys etc. But MGK is doing something really cool and innovative that you guys don't seem to realise, but watch out for the chart dominance of songs from this album. It's gonna get you convinced and make you see it from a whole new perspective. The reason pop punk declined is as a result of this kind of mindset of not welcoming strange but crazy ideas into it, where of course it works in other genres like Hip Hop
@@headrush8535 they just can't figure out their personal issues, so they wanna take it out on the innocent MGK, lmao...
@@emwantaeke1495 That was next level delusion.
I JUST got out of the psych ward after being put on a 5150 😭😭 why tf is he making a song ABOUT THAT?!?!
lowkey that note you hit while making fun of mgk was good af
I know they didn’t exactly give off the best performance on this album, but Bring me the Horizon’s last project, Post Human: Survival Horror, was fantastic and I’d recommend checking it out.
If your looking for something that’s more pop punk and actually good, We Cool? and Worry by Jeff Rosenstock are great albums.
insanely based recommendations
Got to see Jeff live a couple months ago. He was awesome
Agreed that ep is very good
These are great recommendations
Also No Dream was also fantastic
if you want some GOOD POP PUNK you should listen to Brand New Eyes by Paramore
i love brand new eyes so much, i hope he gets to react to it someday.
You should react to a Jeff Rosenstock record (preferably WORRY.) to contrast it with actually good modern pop punk
I wouldn't call Jeff Rosenstock pop punk but he is one of my favourite artists and would like to see a brad reaction to any Jeff, ASOB or BTMI record. I know he's heard post and liked it a bit
Jeff Rosenstock literally the best artist ever forreal
@@jeff-ue2vw hell yes fr fr
The Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady is the original pop punk album - a collection of singles in chronological order with all the B-sides on the second half. It's really good and influenced a lot of the second wave of pop punk in the 80s and 90s.
Wasn't greenday the template for pop punk (an oxymoron if u ask me or a contradiction in terms)?
@@Heathmcdonald Buzcocks predate by almost 2 decades
@@Heathmcdonald90s pop punk, the kind of quirky pop punk like blink 182 that is about fart jokes and pizza, whereas the buzzcocks were the literal pop take on punk. Even ramones were pretty pop punk from the beginning
@@candideggplant1575always thought the same thing myself.
You really took one for the team Brad. I’m curious what you think of the album Double Dare by Waterparks. I’m not sure if it’s considered pop punk exactly but I think it’s fun and a nice breath of fresh air in the genre.
this
On album of the year Brad reviewed Entertainment and had this to say "This band is horrible. I won’t rate this a 1 because in fairness I haven’t heard the whole thing... but good god this is one of the worst alternative bands I’ve ever heard" so I wouldn't hold your breath about it lmao
@@SL-cf7jy lmaooo I’ll take your word for it
This is brad’s Angelic 2 the core
MGK is amazing. He is the only Musician I can think of to attempt two different Genres and suck at both of them. Incredible
FROM UNDER THE CORK TREE - fall out boy
is such a good album. Period. I also just checked out Autopilot Off’s “Make A Sound” and it wasn’t bad
29:02 bro sounds like he saying the n word lmao
I've always hated this genre with a burning passion 98% of the time, so seeing its massive """"revival"""" in the form of this stuff has been excruciating lmao
I like some artists like Jeff Rosenstock but I can’t listen to most pop punk. I hate most of the vocals and the lyrics.
We all have different tastes.
MGK is NOT good though.
It's about as bad as Revival
One of my favorite pop punk albums is Morbid Stuff by Pup. No idea if you’d like it, but I think the general consensus is that it’s pretty good.
Why the fuck does this video have 404 dislikes? I didnt know there were so many Mgk stans or even, fans that exist
Unfortunately a lot of MGK fans can’t handle negative opinions. They’re too focused on viewing him as a “savior of rock music”.
@@theseth455 such a ridiculous assessment of his album, hoo boi
I love how you and ARTV's video about this album were littelry uploaded within a minute of eachother
Hey Brad, sorry you had to go through that.
If you have a moment, have a listen to some of Taylor Hawkins stuff, "Cold Day in the Sun" and "Sunday Rain" (Foo Fighters), "Range Rover Bitch" and "Tokyo No No" (Taylor Hawkins), and some of the Sound City Album songs, just to name a couple tracks that he's sung (and played) on. There are also multiple videos of his last concert with a performance of Queen's "Somebody to Love" if you are strong enough to not cry while watching along.
I hope you and anyone else have been able to cope if you got hit hard by his passing. I know I have, but I will make some changes now to get my life going better.
Stay safe, brother - DK.
♥️
i honest to god believe that tickets to my downfall is a solid album. mainstream sellout is at least named appropriately cause it sure sounds like it compared to the last one
if you compare the lyricism between ttmd and ms i promise you'll see where i'm coming from, by no means is ttmd a masterpiece but with songs like lonely and play this when i'm gone you can tell he cares a lot more about what he's doing
if you want a good pop punk album, why not listen to what mgk is copying? enema of the state by blink-182 is an incredible album and mgk will never live up to it ever.
I come back to this video everytime I need a laugh / pick me up. It's one of my fave Brad's album reaction videos to date. Priceless mate!
Imagine having to go see him in concert because your friends wanted to see AVRIL LAVIGNE (someone who actually has talent) OPEN for him. Why in the world Avril would not be the headliner is beyond me… but anyways, it was f*cking torture.
Also, if you want to check out some decent pop punk with some really thoughtful lyrics, give The Wonder Years a try. Either “The Upsides” or “Suburbia: I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing” are really worth your time my dude 👌🏻
This may be my biased opinion, but when I was in college, the Wonder Year's album Sister Cities was my go to. It's a fantastic pop punk album with interesting and organic production, unique song ideas, some of their best playing and lyricism and passionate singing as well.
I love Sister Cities but the production is the worst I've ever heard
@@wandererpaul88 its definitely front heavy, the second leg offers much less
Love Sister Cities, but I wouldn't really call it pop punk. It's more hardcore/emo influenced alt rock. As far as Pop Punk goes though, I don't think you could do much better than Suburbia: I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing or The Greatest Generation. Two of my favourite albums ever right there.
The Color and the Shape by Foo Fighters is definitely a pop punk classic. All Killer No Filler by Sum 41 is also really great, same with Paramore’s Riot album, just to name a few.
I wouldnt call the color and the shape pop punk
16:30 agreed completely. This is significantly worse than the last one (and that's saying something).
I Love Queens of the Stone Age
me three
take this to your grave is known as one of the best punk rock albums but their post hiatus stuff could be called pop punk aswell, either way would love a FOB review! ik you said you where done with emo but honestly ive never thought of them as emo at all.
honestly MCR are the only good emo band (minus midwest emo stuff)
@@lewisbirkett4428 Modern Baseball, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, American Football, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab For Cutie, Bright Eyes, The Used, Saves The Day, Motion City Soundtrack, Brand New, The Promise Ring, Pierce The Veil, Jawbreaker, Rites of Spring, Pedro The Lion, Far, Onlinedrawing, Static Dress, 156/Silence and The Get Up Kids would all like to have a word with you.
(but I get it’s your opinion tho)
@@thedogfromraditude5449 I'm a fan of modern baseball, american football and dcfc but I'd call them more emo or indie in the case of dcfc. Not a fan of ptv or jimmy and not heard the others
@@thedogfromraditude5449 i think people underestimate what counts as emo because they see it as a bad label, i think its all about how you define emo itself.
im an emo kid, huge mcr fan etc. can safely say i hate mgk. it doesnt even feel like emo, just the most transparent, shallow, copy of it. it feels like what my 55 year old parents would make up if you asked them to imagine an emo song.
same i love emo music but this just sucks ass 🔥🔥🔥
My dad thinks he can't sing, but he has so much potential and has absolutely nailed a few songs.
This said, I would unironically bet $100 that my dad could outsing MGK without even having to fully try
I wish I could put my passionate hate for mgk into something useful
i never wish anything negative on anyone but that fucker needs to acually have at least some trouble in his life and humble himself, maybe it will force him into making better music
No clue why TH-cam randomly stopped recommending your videos to me, but anyways this was a blast of a reaction
I feel sorry you put yourself through this though lol
This might be one of my favourite album reviews ever, I can’t lie
Can't wait for MGK to drop pop punk and pursue a career in polka.

None of these songs sound like punk, they sound like pop with electric guitars.
That’s pop rock.
For a really good pop punk album in recent years I would have to go with "No Closer to Heaven" by The Wonder Years. It's innovative pop punk with real lyrics that don't just exist to relate with 14 year olds. I highly recommend this album if you want to hear good pop punk.
I'd personally go for Suburbia or The Greatest Generation, but I really wanna see what Brad thinks of TWY.
@@cinnemaninemanas4001 I was gonna comment the greatest gen but for 1 I personally like no closer better and I feel like it was a safer option but that's just me
I HIGHLY recommend checking out the title track to the raccoon tour album The Dentonweaver - the band, who has NateIsLame as a member, has a record that I haven't listened to in full yet. But, the production and style of that opening title track is absolutely insane, and I love the delivery even if it isn't for everyone
The 'Die in California' bit from you is GOLD, man. You're a talented guy and I've watched this review like six times.
Going on 15 now.
If you want a good follow this up, Paramore's debut album All We Know Is Falling would be a great example of 2000s pop punk that isn't dated. The chunky guitar tones make the riffs go hard, the song structures manage to be catchy while shaking themselves up and not getting old, and it'll be an oasis of singing that doesn't suck unwashed balls
i normally don’t like calling people posers because it’s kinda pretentious and posits unearned authority on who’s a “real” member of the scene and who isn’t, but if there’s anyone i can call a poser with confidence it’s machine gun kelly lmao.
MGK is the pop punk version of that “how do you do fellow kids?” meme

Neck Deeps album "life's not out to get you" is a pretty fun listen. One of my favorite albums
You can't sell out when nobody wants to buy what you're selling, he's never been accepted in any scene he's attempted to infiltrate, he's just a corny try hard nerd who can't sing, rap, write, or play instruments, he has no style or personality. How this wierdo got anywhere with his career is truly astounding,
well said
Nobody wants to buy what he's selling? His last album was the number one pop punk album in the last decade, and it won a Grammy, but Nobody wants to buy what he's selling? Form your own opinion and quit following everyone else's. You just sound ignorant at this point.
@@brentbabrick6814 1. Just cuz something is popular and people r listening to it doesnt mean its good normally just very generic or bad. 2. It wasnt the no 1 pop punk album of the decade at all not even close. 3. DID NOT win a Grammy dont know where u got that bullsshit from lmao
I'd love for you to react to Avril Lavinge's new album cause she does this pop-punk sound A THOUSAND TIMES better than what MGK is doing
The Story So Far with Proper Dose. It actually sounds like a mature pop punk album I absolutely love it
For good pop punk the early green day and blink albums before their mainstream success. For Green Day, Kerplunk is my favourite, and for Blink it's Cheshire Cat. In terms of new pop punk artists I'd only say Pup and Jeff Rosenstock are good but it depends if you classify them as pop punk or just punk
Jeff rosenstock is the goat
