the artv edit has me crying
@E lepzer 0:45 here you go!
Its made by a disney anamtion guy
“Jon from AJRTV”
Lucas Montgomery DEAD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He needs to see this
That moment brad was actually getting into a AJR song but then realized it's an AJR song
Mario Gomez just because something is made by someone does not mean u have to not likeit
@@zacharyant6649 but even as an ajr fan I know that people HATE their sounds so it kinda does
True definition of a hypocritical person.
Yes and ajr bad and no one is allowed to like them
@@1968_ 💀💀💀
I am a HUGE fan of AJR. The Click is my favorite album. Ive seen them live twice. However, you actually gave it a chance and were fair in your criticisms. Unlike other reviews that just piled on hatred without genuine criticisms. I understand that people dont like the kind of sound they go for but I love it. Thank you for being a good critic and keeping an open mind, even if you didnt like it in the end
Atomic Doge everyone else can F off
I hate ajr
but hey if you like them, we all have problems don't we? We are human after all...

Alexander Holland I want him to do Danger Days pt. 2 so bad 😂
Honestly nervous that Tool will be another month. lol
Forgot lonerism
I honeslty hope he does Danger Days part 2, that album gets way more interesting in the second half
i need a tool review right now, bradley
As a fan of AJR, I find them to be unique to the music I listen to, which is admittedly not exactly normal within itself. As a fan of musicals, I enjoy looking at a song in order to find a story that they want to tell. So by looking at these songs as self contained little stories that don’t need to be unique or kept reasonable. I like to compare it to a fairy tale, where the story is simple, the meaning is simple, and it doesn’t really have anything that needs to connect them all together. As someone who has been raised on older music (70s, 80s music), I enjoy having a band that is willing to just give a catchy beat, and a couple of good hooks. I don’t listen to much modern pop, so I don’t get overwhelmed by all the ‘mellinium pop’ things everyone else gets caught up with.
In the end, all I have to say is you’re gonna like what you want, I can’t change that, so that’s fine by me. Enjoy what you want, and I’ll enjoy what I want. In the end, just have a good one and enjoy some music you think is good.

Yea....that's not how you make an album though. An album is a consistent theme, not a collection of random songs. If you like stories in music there are way better bands to listen to. The production and lyrics in these songs are nonsense. Even one of their songs on their own have no focus.
@@TECfan1 I have been thinking about that, and the idea I have come to is that perhaps the story is that none of these stories are connected. The way I like to think of it is that each song is a small production put on within the Neotheater as a play or movie. The same cast is used, but with different characters. Yes, this can lead to being miscast as a role, but it can also lead to having someone play a role they fit into incredibly well.
And on your point of there being better bands to experience the story of their songs through, I agree. Of Monsters And Men often have outlandish stories told with odd details. And I love that kind of music. I also like to think that it's fair to give a song a listen, and if you don't enjoy it, accept that someone else likely will. Everyone has different taste in music. I have been exposed to many different kinds of music, and that has given me the ability to enjoy almost everything I've been exposed to. I know that isn't true for everyone, but it is for me, and it definitely is a factor of why I enjoy AJR.
@@nolanbreen7631 i think your reaching to far because its not that complicated just like ajrs lyrcis
@@richard-f Well, I might be reaching, but I do have to agree that sometimes their lyrics leave something to be added, however, I can still enjoy something without it being perfect. I'm trying to defend an album by one of my favorite bands because I have enjoyed their music and wanted to make sure they weren't only seen in a bad light because of this album. If you ask me, this is their weakest album yet, and their first album, Living Room, is much better.
I didn’t know Tyler Joseph had a reaction channel
I'm wheezing
Brad does look like Tyler
NeverMind Gaming why?
@@nevermindgaming6848 it’s been a year and i’m still confused about this comment
That’s what I’ve been thinking!😅
I actually really like AJR but I appreciate that you weren't just spewing hate, and instead were giving genuine criticisms, explaining why it was bad. Because I saw a lot of critics that just flat out said it was bad but didn't give any reasons.
I would actually really like to see a part 2
Which critics are I referring to?
@@lambchopzzzzzzz hes probably referring to artv and spectrum pulse even though they made great points.
@@richard-f IKR, AJR fans are so salty towards him it's so pathetic. When Jon criticized Reputation and Sweetener no one complained.
@@purple1441 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think you ignored the critisms in critics
Keep going brad! Us AJR fans are rooting for you to survive!!
I am an AJR fan too! :D
"That actually gave me shivers and felt really real-"
"WOAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaHHHH"
"A R E Y O U K I D D I N G M E"
bruh i wheezed
brooo sameeee
I keep rewatching that part, it’s gold
why do you look like tyler joseph and kurtis conner at the same time
erii omg I definitely see the Kurtis part
Ok but he actually does…
I personally love ajr and was kind of sad about the constant hate from other reviews but yours is actually a great review with valid points. ALSO THE EDITING IS HILARIOUS!
If it's bad...then it's bad.
@@TECfan1 or you have a reason why you think it's bad
Th.El.Co._1 if you think it’s bad then it’s your opinion o w o
@@TECfan1 If its bad then everything else in the world that people enjoy is bad?
and also i'd like to see something bad have a 15K 265 like/dislike ratio for a new single
@@EzyyTV music taste is subjective, like/dislike ratio doesn’t prove anything at all
Brad looks Rami Malek and Tyler Joseph mixed
Edit: wow looks like I'm getting famous lmao
Omg he does though
was honestly about to comment this when i saw this😥
OMG OMG so dam true 😂
I thought that the too
Tami lamek and myler osjeph
with birthday party in particular, i feel most ajr fans weren’t a fan when they first heard it (like me), but by the third listen it had me hooked, and now it’s one of my favorites off the album as well as the entertainment’s here and finale
sophia is tired I agree.
What? It got worse
for me I have to listen to a song multiple times to really like it so I can’t listen to songs once over and make my judgements because some of the songs I love right now I didn’t like at the first listen and with AJR I liked some right at the start such as Karma and Dear Winter which are some of my favorites and as I put the album on shuffle I got into the rest of them after I listened to them previously without feeling as though I’d like them but everyone’s entitled to their own opinions
@@Emily-vn5ts first impressions are everything. Why in the hell would i listen to something again that i didnt like. Like if i listen to it again im literally just wasting my time if i dont like it
I liked them both on the first listen.
The Disney vibe and the wierd intros is a actually the highlight of the album for me
teamextremepk same its because they are different than other musicians and don’t always sing about love and heartbreak like every other musician.
@@ramlamohammed3941 thank you! somebody said it
@@ramlamohammed3941 BUT THATS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO IN TURNING OUT PART 2!
richard f key word always
@@richard-f as stated above ""don't always"
Now THIS...is a beautifully edited and well crafted video.
Edit: You explaining Experimental music around 22:00 is excellent. 1000 IQ
you should react to Cavetown, i'd love to see you rip into a artist I like
Lol I’d love to see that I dislike his music so much
I personally love Cavetown but I can tell Brad would hate him and I'm genuinely interested in what he has to say and how much of his hair he'd maybe rip off
he already did on a livestream
*when you've only heard one song from Cavetown*
Which Livestream was it?
dear youtube commenters,
sometimes a new video will have more likes than views for a few minutes and that’s okay. please stop talking about it. it’s been over 10 years.
faxx
My Gf loves AJR, so I’ve heard a number of their songs and although I don’t particularly like them I have to say, their songs are catchy
Dear Winter was really good tho....
Not really
richard f it’s subjective
Eh
Yeah, I like it too
I liked it too
The ARTV and Spectrum Pulse clips had me laughing for 5 minutes straight
I love AJR and I think, it’s either you like the AAAAAAA or you don’t
I think it would be dumb but they place it so perfectly
I like how you were very open minded with in the album I personally am a fan of the album and think that some of the things you said were true we all have different tastes in music, I also liked how it was not just a rant about how it was terrible
what's wrong with ranting about how terrible it is, if that's what he feels.
@@Kevinschart nothing wrong with that, i think hes just saying he appreciates the extra depth.
PLEASE review the rest of this. This is a joy to watch. I love seeing you in pain, it's hilarious.
speaking of twenty one pilots you like a walmart version of tyler joseph
the difference is he isn't trying to be
AJR is that one band you hear about every few years and then you find out it was them who made it
I feel like the second half of this album is a lot better
No its not lmao
@@richard-f its is tho lmfao
Maybe? Turning out pt.ii was prob PEAK after that there's not alot better, I love the entertainments here cause of the cluster of sounds which fits for me but apart from that wow I'm not crazy is OK, beats is FILLER but just meh, karma is ok but nothing taken from it, dear winter is ok with its message and finale has a decent beat but sorta weird.
Kodek
For me it’s:
1. Karma
2. Turning Out pt. ii
3. Birthday Party
4. Dear Winter
5. Don’t Throw Out My Legos
@@richard-f opinions am i right
16:13 Tyler Joseph, is that you?
Holy, you're right
I didn’t know that AJR was even famous lol. I heard that one spongebob song a few years ago and liked it and then I never heard anything about them again until now
They aren't
They are pretty popular among fans of that kind of genre (the 1975ish type) but don't have much radio play
"That means you're a good noodle. You wanna be a good noodle." 😆
I love them to death to be honest, but watching Jon rage is kinda fun not gonna lie 😂😂😂
Genuinely, I watch ARTV mainly for negative reviews because he's so good at shitting on bad music
@@patrickgibsonmusic or good music, he hates everything
It is tho 😂 it’s hilarious. I love watching him go off
Jeremy Humphries …yeah sure bro. You obviously haven’t watched any of his videos outside the negative ones
Opinion on the review:
First of all, let me just say I love that you didn't say anything like "How could anyone love this?" or "You have to be stupid to listen to this!" because when anyone does that, I instantly lose my respect for the review. Don't make people feel guilty or stupid for liking something.
I am a big AJR fan, but I don't feel offended. This review made me realise why so many people hate AJR. It's just that the parts that I love are the parts that are hated by everyone else. I loved the choirs so much!
Also, I don't know if you did this on purpose or if it sounded like this in your house too, but the mic quality was quite horrendous and made a lot of stuff I loved sound really bad.
Also, I'd like to see your opinion on the rest, though I doubt you'd like any of it. Maybe just Dear Winter, it's got the least vocal manipulation and is also written by Ryan (who wrote Turning Out Pt. II) instead of Jack.
This is a nice comment!
I know this is 2 years late, but I'm pretty sure the sound is bad to avoid copyright or something.
I.... genuinely don’t understand the hate
I do
Its mostly not hate its just criticism
Ok, they suck. Does that make a little more sense?
@@faro8784 i like them
You just have to understand it. It’s the only way you’d like it
i hate music critics because music is such an opinionated topic, it’s near impossible to find two people with the same exact music taste. and then they criticize a band and you choose to follow them and now your favorite band becomes your most hated band because of what they said. This video didn’t seem very biased tho and i could see all the points you were making which is a nice change
You put it into words very well
You put it into words very bad, just because you have an opinion, doesn’t mean they can’t voice theirs. You don’t have to take their word as gospel, no one does. Some people do, but that’s not a critics fault, that their audiences fault.
@@mocapcow2933 they can voice their critics, but they should just do it in a more respectful way. They can say they dont like the band but that its ok to like it yourself. I don't like people who make fun of a band because it makes you think that that band is something to be made fun of, not something to be friends with. If people made fun of a certain person a lot that person would not be very popular
I think their names are ARTV Spectrum Pulse and Brad Taste in Music
Part 2
(I like AJR and i like these little wired noises idk its just my preference)
@@peskysniper411 heyy great im not alone
I love AJR and I love the little weird noises.
@@whiskersnpaws2109 same man
Same
I love AJR a lot but totally get that it isn't for everyone. Thanks for giving it a shot.
same, big fan of their music, but I do understand a lot of people don't like it. I dont listen to it to be 'quirky' I honestly just like the sound of it
I love you.
Oh snap, is this the same Tina that becomes Brad's GF
@@chiderakalaji7206 Yep.. this was my first comment on one of his videos! lol
I didn’t know Tyler Joseph also makes music reviews. 🤔
just stop, that meme is so fucking old
@@leftunknown no one cares
@@chewuntilitbleeds lmao you obviously do to reply to this
@@leftunknown k
@@chewuntilitbleeds ooh someones triggered
thank god someone else instantly recognized the stressed out ripoff
Ikr thank god and don't forget the heathens ripoff
I like the guys. And did cringe when hearing that. It's Jon bellion all over again :(
You can't exactly put a label on a drum pattern. That's like putting copyright on a chord! This is why critics are to gloomy to just listen to the music and not care what the lyrics are, not care what song it sounds like
Stuti Gururaj it’s not just the drum pattern but also the bass and strings at the beginning of the songs when the drums kick in
Ok Ik this comment is a year old but which song was the stressed out ripoff? And the heathens one? Idk which but people are talking about it
I love this album!!
It’s definitely better the second time around
They sound like what people that have only heard Stressed Out think Twenty One Pilots sounds like, but worse
Stressed Out over a bad radio system sounds a bit better than this.
You look like a sleep deprived Tyler Joseph
i loved the turning out pt.ii part of the video, i knew that part was coming, i knew you would hate it so i found it so funny how you reacted to it. i love ajr's music. and i love this video, the editing was great and you gave a nice actually good review on the album. great job :)
This is an awesome video
I just hope you like Dear Winter
Cant wait for part 2 dude!
It's a reaction video with actual criticism and commentary
I'm a fan of ajr and this is honestly good content
This video is just so funny with all of the edits you put in and you have a very fair review of this album and I respect you that
13:59 that move gets a 10/10
Please do kevin abstract album reaction.... ARIZONA BABY
Jacob Vereen PLEASE
Was just about to comment this
Part 2 please!!!!!
You are very honest and give it a chance. I’m personally an AJR fan and want to know what you think of the other songs on the album. Thank you!
I’m a huge AJR fan, and found this video hilarious!! Amazing critiques and editing!
The album was supposed to be about their life
The funniest video of all time in my opinion amazing video the humor editing everything is perfect I love this video so much whenever I feel down I turn on this video
Caught this a little late, but a reviewer who goes into things with open mindness? Consider me subscribed!
*Basic comment approaching*
I have never watched your videos until this one. I have never actually seen critic videos for music to be completely honest but I’m truly digging this video. As a lot of people said, you didn’t just go straight to hating the group. You went into the album with an open mind and then told us your honest opinion on the album and I truly appreciated that. 10/10 would love to see a part 2!
Man is he going to hate beats so much
The ending to next up forever was amazing lmao
I really hope you do a part 2, I want to see what you think of Dear Winter especially. I think, that would probably be your favorite due to you liking Turning Out Part 2 but I wouldn't know for sure. I love AJR, so it was nice to see constructive criticism instead of complete disrespect through just smashing it without trying!
Thanks for giving a genuine unbias and fair review we need more channels like this
literally the only review of ajr that doesn't just throw hate at them
watch david restituto he says lots of nice things about them (sadly he only has reacted to ok orchestra so far)
Says a lot though when he’s actively trying to be positive and it’s still a terrible album to listen too 😂
I honestly get what your saying yeah your kinda right i honestly didn't like it at first but "neotheater" ..it grew on me in seconds and I fell in love with this album. And I honestly think that you by far made actual sense of why it was no good in your opinion unlike other reactions I heard from other youtubers so thank you for not completely trashing their entire album and for actually having open ears because you actually made little sense .
I actually kinda liked their single Burn The House Down. It was pretty catchy.
Na, i think the drums are too simple and it sounds really bad, also that trumpet solo its too overused to the point it feels annoying.
@@gonzap8846 Eh, I can see it. But as repetitive pop songs go, I thought it was okay. Not good, but harmless.
I liked it but they went down the Trump bashing millennial route with it.
It was relly good!
I'm a huge AJR fan, but I didn't like the political stuff in "birthday party" either
definitely want to see a part 2. your reactions of distaste are incredibly entertaining, but even more than that, it’s nice to hear how i feel about this album put into words that i’m unable to find
I really enjoyed this and hope you make a part 2!!
Do a part 2! The next 2 songs, The Entertainment's Here and Karma is really good!
woah thank you for putting my review in your video!!!
Addieeee
Hey, look, it’s that one person from Brads Discord server.
The album is terrible! You just want to go against the grain!
@@surprisinglyroomy no I saw them live twice and cried both times bro I genuinely enjoy the music
PcPowerUp you really don’t have to... and shouldn’t
I thing that really bothers me about this album is that they TRIED to put a part of a song by a different group in each song. (One Republic, t.o.p, ect.) They announced it on their Instagram and it's just so lazy
Please do a 2nd part. I'm interested to see what you think of Karma
I like how almost every comment I read here is by an AJR fan. I like them too bestie, not every single one of their songs of course. But everything is not made for me, right? This song that seems like “it should not EXIST” to me, may be relatable to someone else. I’d like to respect that.😊
😂😂 the edit with Jon and Mark shredding AJR always kills me
You should do a part 2, I actually think you’ll like Finale (We can’t wait to see what you do next)
I'm a big fan of your style, comedy and interesting critiques. I'd love a part 2!
Personally I love this album but tbh with all the good points you brought up, I can see why people dislike it. (Still love it though lol)
Is there a part 2 of this? There are some actual solid songs after the rough start (Finale, The Entertainment’s Here and Karma)
Nope lol
I have been waiting for part two for like a year now please make a part two of the reaction of this video like you did.
Brooo you're like really funny, and this is one of the best videos on Neotheater I've seen! Prolly cos you have some of the same opinions I have with this album and your comedic timing is godlike lmao.
I'm a fan of AJR and I totally appreciate how respectful you were with this review. You did an amazing job and I can completely see where you're coming from with everything you said.
I may not agree with you on every point but I sosoososo appreciate the way you approached this review.
I love it how Brad was actually interested in Turning Out ii but I knew exactly what was coming, and how he'd hate it. I always skip that song (like many others) whenever I listen to the album. Some of the songs aren't bad, but some of the song (beats by whatever) are not for me.
please do part 2! i'd love to hear your thoughts on the entertainments here
i really like your channel and i really love ajr so i was excited when i saw this, even if you didn’t enjoy it. thank you for at least trying to be open minded and respectful, instead of hating on it just because it’s every other yt critic does. hope you do a part two
The ting i hate most about this video is the way your fingers bend back 45 more degrees then they should
As a gigantic ajr fan, of course I'm biased. but you actually gave them a chance even th8ygh they aren't your style which I respect. but let me also say that a lot of the lyrics and background vocals you didn't like or understand are vocals and lyrics that inky fans will understand from watching lives and following them and understanding thus style of music. if you don't like it, you don't like it and that's fine, but ajr has an extremely unique sound and a very set tone to their music, it's indie, it's fun and it's not for those who aren't into thus style of music. I respect ajr forever because they started off of nothing, they started street performing and they produced their first album for $90, they make their music in their living room, and they don't get pushed back by hate l. they recently started the neotheater world tour and I've heard a lot of people say it's the best concert they've been to. they sold out radio city music hall and they're doing amazing, they're getting big because they're unique and original, they talk about real things and experiences, so forever live to them.
I personally like some of AJR's music because i can connect with it and get motivated. I understand that not all people have the same taste in music, and that's a good thing! I'm glad you went in with a positive mind set and i was able to relate to some of your feedback! This is the first video i've seen by you, so I'm looking forward to seeing more!
I was thinking about checking out this album because I wanted to see if it was that bad, but hearing those couple songs I don't think I'll be looking into it...
yall need to make a pt 2
Yes he needs to.
Personally, I like AJR's style but it makes sense why people don't like it, it can be random in a way and out of place but I think it worksfor . Everyone is allowed their own opinion as long as they aren't spewing hate.
Would like to see a part 2, I feel like you'd like Dear Winter as it's quite a raw song without a lot of added sounds.
So far you’ve been any favorite for reviewing this album. Even though you did criticize it you did bring up some good things and bad things. I love this album and AJR but notice some things every artist had their pros and cons. Thank you for pushing through and keeping an open mind and hopefully there will be a part 2
"I'm so relatable and quirky" core.
Neotheater was an album that was the album we didn't want, need, or deserve. But personally, this is my 1st experience with AJR and I'm kinda glad with what we got. It's the lowest denominator but they handled the denominator with care. 5++
Edit:
Next Up Forever is a lower Good Noodle
Birthday Party is an upper Shrug
100 Bad Days is lower Trash
Legos is mid shrug
Face is lower shrug.
That's all the songs I have an opinion on rn
Hey look someone who actually give constructive and fair criticism and dosent just pile on hate. Thank you I think...
Edit: Yes thank you!!
I like your review because it was a fair honest opinion and I respect how you gave the album and songs a chance, unlike other reviews. But at the end of the day it's all opinions so thanks for the video! I enjoyed your honesty!
Im guessing your referring to artv right?
legos sounds like something i would make on those square beatmaker apps that are free and full of ads
Oh boy this is gonna be a trip
24:37 That editing is hilarious.
it's actually really interesting to see other people's perspective, because i really like birthday party (including the weird vocal parts) and i thought others might like it too.
I personally love the weird little noises, that’s where they differ from those other groups that they have similarities to. I understand people not liking it though, I’ll admit it took me a while to get used to. I find most fans say that it takes them a few listens to really get it. But thank you for actually giving it a chance and giving actually critiques.
Their some of my FAVORITE songs literally ever(.)
You should react to Social Cues by Cage The Elephant. It released a few weeks ago and it sounds interesting
Part two please, I loved this video
AHH DO PART II. THE beginning edits were fantastic
