I have listened to far too much AJR, which is what makes me qualified to react to their newest project "OK ORCHESTRA". I now show up with someone else and finish this album.
Tracklist for Part 1:
1. OK Overture
2. Bummerland
3. 3 O'Clock Things
4. My Play
5. Joe
6. Adventure Is Out There
7. Bang!
Tracklist for Part 2:
7. Bang!
8. The Trick
9. Ordinaryish People (feat. Blue Man Group)
10. Humpty Dumpty
11. World's Smallest Violin
12. Way Less Sad
13. Christmas In June
"Leave it to AJR to make fuckin' Humpty Dumpty look actually more mature than them" has to be in the top 10 best things Brad has ever said on the channel
I mean, it is
*nobody said he was an egg*
Lol
And his pure look of disgust at Tina kills me. He was so unimpressed 😂
I love how all of the AJR fans are in the comments I’m proud of you guys for watching him shit on this band and enjoying it
You gotta give it to him, he makes it funny
@@kodekYT he does
@@kodekYT I finished studying early just to watch this vid. It's so fun
It’s funny because some of his reactions are actually unbiased. He just doesn’t like the band so he trashes it. All good not to like it but to lean on some talent of knowing music? Nah man not really
He is clearly unbiased and hates them but he makes it hilarious enough that I don’t care
imagine AJR reacting to Brad Taste in Music reacting to OK Orchestra
YESS
brad ate them alive and tore them to shreds
Has there ever been a band who listened to the critics
@@chingchenghanjisuperidol9933 I want to say Post Malone and Twenty One Pilots maybe, as they’re the only ones who got better after making bad albums.
@@jacobgriffin3579 i think ajr have gotten better since the click and DEFINITELY since living room, just not better enough for the critics to be satisfied
Really thought he was about to pull another neotheater and not make a part two
Wish he did.. Nobody wants Brad to go through this torture!!
I’m hyped he did it lol
@@josephassiryani9174 wwwwwwwwwwwwww
really enjoyed having Tina there to see an actual fan perspective as well as Brad's and the discussion was good 👌👌👌
'fan perspective' all she did was call a couple of their songs shit, really did them justice
@@theemmaus2432 lol I’m talking about hearing what someone who normally enjoys their music actually thinks about this album like do AJR’s fans actually like it or not?? It seems like they don’t xD so even AJR’s own fans think it’s not good
@@MamaCrackacorn well, I'm an AJR fan and I love it? you can't hear one person's opinion and assume every one of there fans think the same.
@@theemmaus2432 :v
@@gab_script :v
Being both a bradtasteinmusic fan AND an AJR fan is a real rollercoaster
LMAO IKR
fair
YES THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Fr 😭
@@equinox6690 ok i get liking some of their music but how do u guys justify these songs like its soooo badddd
the increasingly valuable ajr merch introduced throughout the video is so funny
This video was SO funny, but you actually made a solid point with “I don’t understand how someone could have so little going on in their life,” like that’s literally it! You cracked the code! So many of these “experimental” pop bands are devoid of ideas, themes, and anything else that good storytelling requires. It’s like they’re making songs without knowing what a song is, or at the very least, what makes a song good. I love that you can make entertaining reviews while still dropping lines that make me think!! Keep it up, man!
@@cbrad_edits lol if you look at there insta... k bud
@@cbrad_edits Wow, some people don't need to do too much, who could have guessed?
@@definitelyoldenough3541 they do too much and not enough at the same time
They have nothing interesting to say and don't have enough respect and passion for the craft to make good sounding music
It’s a common thing among young, amateur creatives without much life experience to misunderstand originality and throw together random ideas from other stuff they’ve seen/heard instead of drawing on life experience, and the result is art that’s distractingly haphazard in the details, but ultimately boring because the only experience they have to draw on is completely mundane. This is totally forgivable from amateurs, but it’s just so strange to see it from experienced musicians in their 30s
Oh my God, Bradley. That's the point. He says "I don't ever think of you" so many times in the song because he *does* think of him.
i wanted to see what he said :(
There’s a way of executing that idea without making my ears bleed.
@@frackingfluidinjection r/whoooosh
@@sillylittleguy007Yup. This is a better response. Not cringe at all.
I think the best comment of the video was Tina’s “It’s just what it is”. Top tier reaction 👏🏽😂❤️
@@BradTasteInMusicOfficial I think you need to watch out, Brad. Tina about to take over this channel 👀
AJR is really a baby's first music band-core. Their music sounds like something that would only be enjoyable to someone who didn't listen to music at all before AJR.
Seeing how many of their fans sing their praise for their uniqueness while describing things that tons of other artists in and out of their genre have already done, that sounds about right
Could you imagine listening to this forever and being exposed to genuine legendary albums like the fragile art of existence by control denied
You’re honestly right, up until recently I hadn’t listened to much besides them but I’ve began to broaden my taste in music and go below the surface level
@@blakchristianbale i know they say "well the lyrics are terrible but i like the more experimental parts" JUST GO LISTEN TO EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC!
@@goldenfurniture123 The lyrics are dog water, Burn the House Down is a banger, it goes downhill from The Click
Everything sounds basic, it is slow, it doesn't make any sense, the melody plays slowly and has no cool keys. Like Twinkle Twinkle Star
Brad's Final Ratings (Spoilers)
Ok Overture: Meh
Bummerland: Meh
3 O'Clock Things: Bad
My Play: Meh
Joe: Bad
Adventure Is Out There: Bed
Bang: Bad
The Trick: Bad
Ordinaryish People: Bad
Humpty Dumpty: Bad
World's Smallest Violin: Bad
Way Less Sad: Good
Christmas In June: Bad
It never ceases to amaze me how my favorite parts of their songs are the parts you absolutely despise 😂
Everyone says what makes them good is also what people hate
It kinda feels like hes purposely missing the point on some of these songs. Like he seriously says "who wants a song about blank" like I would rather have a song I can relate to rather than some random shit about partying and drugs and fucking. A more personal approach to the songs is more interesting than the general pop songs I normally here.
@@andrewrussell5312 That's true....BUT, they could at least make the personal songs more original.
They keep making songs about mundane things that don't make anybody think of anything new, they're just relatable songs for basic things that everybody thinks about.
It's fine if that's what people are in to, it just isn't very creative.
@@andrewrussell5312 The moment that stood out to me was when he broke down the lyrics of Ordinaryish People and was sarcastically like “Wow, this is so profound.” I felt they did an alright job of explaining a feeling everyone faces at some point in their life. Not every song needs to be profound or can be profound. Sometimes a song about not feeling like you fit in is what you need to hear, even if it’s not an entirely unique or personalized perspective.
@@crouton7297 I absolutely hated his criticism of Christmas in June "boo hoo your boy friend brings home the biggest bag of money" like dumbass, the whole song is about loving someone and your career. How much do you sacrifice one for the other, yeah you're bringing home money, but money isnt a replacement for the time spent with a loved one.
This has to be one of my favorite brad vids. Him and the wife make for a great duo and the AJR memorabilia bit was so funny. Also the comments are great. Virgin Melanie Martinez fans vs Chad AJR fans.
The inclusion of Tina was pretty entertaining for this reaction
@@BradTasteInMusicOfficial THA HOMIE! GANG GANG GANG
tina makes everything better
@@beetlebat My mind read "Gang Gang Gang" to the tune of Bang. Why brain? Why? 😔
@@ChiPandaAndKeegan that was the intention haha
Yeah
Shitting on AJR is so easy, but man do you do it with absolute CLASS. I am dying over here
This is the most entertaining video I’ve seen in a long while the bit with the ajr merch is fucking hilarious
I've loved AJR for a long time, I even saw them in concert. But this was just such an amazing video. I've never laughed so hard at a critic video
@@Cashcorndidn’t realize you needed to make music to review it. Also didn’t realize you couldn’t dislike something
@@gardensaladdude90 I was angry so I edited the message. Everything else I said still stands. Everyone saying he’s funny sounds like heavy copium to me. This guy’s entire personality is being a dick and everyone applauds him for it.
Tina really adds a lot to your videos! We need more Tina + Brad reactions!
The genuine anger/passion makes this video 100x better
What's funny is that AJR to me is like a super guilty pleasure. I recognize it for being very formulaic in a fashion, but for whatever reason I love their cheesy charming music. Also this review is hilarious :D
AJR is like eating a sandwich with flour and nothing else
I’ve been an AJR fan for years now, but your videos are so funny, and I can see where your opinions come from! Great job for making my day with your vids
I absolutely love AJR and this album, but this dude is absolutely hilarious 😂
Completely agree 😂
Watch his other videos 😂😂
The only critic I watch
I’ve never had so much fun watching someone hate on my favorite music
@@toontales2479 same
Hey brad, saw you having trouble with ajr. A worthy solution would be to listen to ALL the songs at the same time together on loop for an hour!:)
As a long time ajr fan, I was really excited for this album, especially after hearing way less sad. But my biggest problem with this album is that I couldn’t even tell the songs apart. With other albums the songs sounded somewhat different, but especially in the second half of this one I couldn’t remember what each song was about or what is was called because they sounded too similar.
Thanks Brad for another honest review :)
(and hi Tina!)
Their music has sounded the same since The Click. I'm not saying their music before that time was better (none of them have really aged well), but you can boil down the average AJR song to loud bass sounds + trumpets + annoying voice samples. You can only do it so many times before it gets irritating to listen to
29:23 probably the best analogy for ajr I’ve ever heard
Brads takes may miss but he makes these funny as fuck and he asks us the real questions
Like who exactly did Humpty Dumpty go down on
A question as old as time
On chicken
I totally disagree with most of his opinions in this, but it was SO FUNNY. As an AJR fan, I see and respect his points, but he made them realistic and HILARIOUS at the same time! "Leave it to AJR to make Humpty Dumpty sound more mature than them." HOW does he come up with this stuff? Legendary.
I knew you’d hate the trick lol I was right
Yep I tried to warn him as I personally don’t mind it 😔
@@piausc4712 I personally like it
OH MY GOD THIS IS WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
YESS LEE
@@piausc4712 I literally saw you both in xsntchs' livestream earlier and now here...we have the same recommended page
@@creativityintensifies
Yep all of us seem to be in the same rabbit hole (btw it’s because I’m subscribed to brad)
Also WASNT THAT CHAT THE BEST
It was totally worth the wait!!! I was checking in every couple of days to see if he had uploaded. Not disappointed at all
@@piausc4712 The fact that he actually whipped out the socks though XD
By calling pretender bad, he kinda called out Steve Aoki more than AJR considering AJR was being featured and not the other way around lmao.
I 100% knew he was gonna hate the trick, I like AJR and heard the trick and was just like “what the fuck?” Little saddened he hated the smallest violin but also I understand it, just sounds good to me, but overall good video with so many good criticisms
"World's Smallest Violin". Another Spongebob reference. Hoo-fucking-ray.
Shit dude, sorry to hear this is gonna effect your life so damn much. Hope you recover soon!
@@bubski6981Damn, that is the most AJR response ever. Some real "lol ur not Tyler Joseph" salt
9:24 Brad, please release a full version of this, I actually died laughing 💀💀
I hope brad knows that we will never forget his extensive AJR walnut analogy
First of all, congrats on the engagement.
I like the band and the album, I've mentioned it before... However, like I've said before, too, your criticism are really valid and you're super entertaining to watch. You actually made me have a sudden burst of confidence I don't usually have. I thought "Well, he may not like it, but I like it, and i also liked his video. And what's wroooong with that (i loved that bit of part 1, btw)" and didn't feel overwhelmed with thoughts (which usually happens when I linger on a topic for way too long). So, thank you, Brad! You genuinely made my day and helped me listen to criticism of a band I love! I've started checking out more reviews of the band to see other's opinions, but nothing compares to your videos.
PD. Thank you for the masterpiece that is Simp Zone
The announcer guy in BANG! is the guy from the New York Subway. He's the GOAT.
Jack kinda sounding like a wine mom on bang
mans typed it "humpy dumpy" lmao
I've been hearing Bang for close to a year now and I always thought it was Twenty One Pilots
yeah i never knew about AJR before the song came out and i genuinely thought it was Twenty One Pilots
AJR sounds like a chainsmokers 21P mashup to me
I loved the little bang cover in the middle of the trick it was just perfection
i feel for tina brad is just ripping her favourite band to shreds hahahahah
"her favorite band" is a stretch
OMG IS THAT FAMOUS MUSIC REVIEWER BRADLEY WITH A BRAD TASTE IN MUSIC OMG
OMG SIGN MY TWENTY ØNE PILOTS T-SHIRT PLEASE MR BRAD TASTE
Bro are you blind? It’s clearly famous rapper Big Baller B
@@ThankYouByeBand Dude. We're not supposed to know that yet
@@ThankYouByeBand I feel bad for you. I bet you’re the kind of person to blindly believe childish Gambino and Donald glover are the same person too
@@jamhopsey they most definitely aren’t, only an insane person would think that
Isn't The Trick a song about a guy who keeps lying all the time? That's why the tiny Tim voice keeps saying all over the top stuff.
Yep
I’m pretty sure Brad pointed out that it was about a guy who keeps lying, but it just doesn’t sound good.
@@jacobgriffin3579 He was talking about AJR then, saying they keep trying to be what they're not. although i do agree, not one of their best songs.
@@darthdrekkar9312 I like that it’s pretty different but yeah it’s not their best
I'm glad to see you as happy as this with Tina :)
Your reactions are just hilarious, thanks for these videos
I like the new Album but your commentary really makes this enjoyable to watch and that’s why I like this reaction to the album
6:35 808JR? Damn Brad be spitting barz without even realizing.
Also great reaction Brad, I generally enjoyed this album but completely understand and agree with many of your criticisms
NOT Jack saying Humpty Dumpy was Ryan’s best lyricism. 🌝
The lyrics are such dog shit on this album it’s insane
@@spaghetti_noodle2454 i like them
@@theboogeyman2590 same
@@theboogeyman2590 are you fifteen? Lol
@IRONDUDE11000 whats it to you? What if I’m 18? What if I’m 12?
“You can’t have an AJR song without an over the top 808”
Why is this so true XD
I knew he wouldn't like The Trick and I was not disappointed by his reaction XD
imagine brad makes a whole album puts his heart and soul into every lyric every beat every song and then some guy on youtube just reviews it and says it's trash
he has made a whole album that he put his heart and soul into. Except his album is a true masterpiece that nobody would ever call trash
@@TheCycloneHunter what's it called
@@Barnaacle no more half measures
@TheCycloneHunter I need to bleach my ears. After that, it's so crap it's garbage trash mate
brad is a very talented musician!!!
Brad’s laugh so wholesome
“Stop looking at me”.. “I can’t.. your pretty”... yeah man I say that to my girl all the time she always Denys 😆 great vid homie
Im nervous as hell for the last 3 tracks, i hope his reaction is good
Edit : nooo he didnt listen to the last bits of worlds smallest violin.
Ok so at least he likes way less sad.
I have to heavily disagree with Christmas in june because thats my favorite song lol
Here before title is changed
what was it befote
One of my new favorite Brad Taste reactions, Tina was a great addition 👍
Brad you and Tina need to do more videos together you guys are so cute
“The voice... the fuckin’ eheheheheheheheheheheheh” - Brad
They actually did reveal why they named it OK orchestra and it had nothing to do with ok computer, just a complete coincidence I guess
:0 when did the do that!! In need to see
@@elagorgulu1348 in the interview with Zach sang they talk about every song individually as well as the album as a whole, including who Joe is! Really interesting interview
@@Jfkhockeypro thank you!
@@moonillusions832 I don't know much about Weezer but it doesn't sound like a coincidence. AJR had always been a band to say what inspired their titles or sounds, there would've been no reason for them to lie about that. The word OK isn't copyrighted lol
"hopefully that's the last time i have to hear this song"???? well i know what im playing next weekend
Just from hearing it I can tell that AJR used the vocal in The Trick for the sample in My Play
Unsolicited suggestion, but IMO a good song about "am I good enough to be doing what I'm doing?" is Hazy by Red Vox. A sligthly Tame Impala-ish mellow rocker about Vinny's genuine self-doubt about his musical project and entire career as an entertainer, it not only feels genuine, but also resolves rather positively. It's from their first album, What Could Go Wrong, you could check it out on stream or on your own time if you're interested.
that’s one of my favorite songs from them!!! it makes me feel a little less alone when doubting my own projects and skill. Honestly I’d like to see him react to any of their albums too it’s be pretty cool
I hate the trick too but just to explain it its about pathological liars
Omg I just finished part 1 now this is out. You get funnier every time Brad!
i think i said this in pt 1 but as an AJR fan I LAUGHED SO HARD THROUGH THIS VIDEO
Oh, I've actually heard Bang on the radio. It took watching this to remember that.
But this album gives me the vibe that AJR makes music for iPhone ads.
So I am a huge fangirl of AJR and this is the last album that my brother and I jamed out to before he went to the navy and I love ajr there music has helped me through some tuff times like one time when my friend got stabbed last year I listened to ajr and it helped me through it and then he recovered and survived
Dont care
@@javiermedina9392don’t care abt your don’t care. Be nice :-(
Dude I'm an ajr fan I couldn't stop laughing at this it was so funny keep it up
Quickest part 2 ever? 😂 Also Tina needs to be in more videos 👀 Couple reactions
Brad flapping his arms at 808s in World's Smallest Violin always takes me tf out 😂
I can’t really tell if this guy is being for real or putting on a persona, but it’s entertaining none the less.
brad, that living room cd goes for over 500 dollars-
For some reason "ok old ass computer" nearly made me spit out my Gatorade
guess i have to like because i cannot die before seeing brad pet his dog 100 times
When I was listening to this album with my friend Spotify did us a favor and literally stopped working halfway through the second half of the album
Macaroni Art is actually an amazing analogy for AJR. Covered in sprinkles and glitter, but beneath is still just cardboard and raw pasta.
I’ve got to be one of the biggest AJR fans ever and i love this video. he makes shitting on ajr funny and i also realized a lot of things about their music. but i still love them idk
They even look like “I’m quirky” nice guys
Im two minutes in and already loving Tina being there lol

I feel like for Bang, they were drinking that energy drink. My spouse thinks this sing is premade to close a set. The spouse is currently addicted to AJR, and every time I have to fucking hear Bang, I want to bang their heads into concrete. But at least it keeps my spouse mentally on an even keel, and I can always put my headphones on and listen to whatever I want, which recently has been binging of Yungblud.
I'd be curious to see Brad's reaction to the band Half•Alive, they're like if AJR had more talent and knew where the line between "just enough" and "too much" was
Yes please I love half alive
I think he'd appreciate Half•Alive's music much more. He may not love it, but they actually have something to say in their music and each song feels unique.
Personally, I feel like even comparing AJR to Half•Alive is legitimately insulting to Half•Alive.
Ooh yeah, I love Half•Alive!
Comparing AJR to them is a stretch though, they’re different genres, but either way I love both of them
I understand people that like AJR, I genuinely don't understand people that have AJR as their favorite band. Like how little music do you actually know in order to have AJR as your favorite band.
I just like them. I've listened to a plethora of music and i do genuinely like AJR.
They're the only band I can even listen to. I really, *really* like them. They are my screen background. The trick is one of my favorites. I have no clue why someone wouldn't like it
@@luke2max I like ajr a lot, but I would say the trick is their worst song since some of the ones in the first album.
Some of these songs legit feel like a Tiktok chef put Man Man and Imagine Dragons in a frying pan and expected it to work
I don’t even think in eighth grade I would think having a 28 year old girlfriend makes you the coolest kid in school
Brad out here saying the drum stick looks chewed when literally all of mine are like that.
@Abby H 2025 If your drumsticks don't look like a dogs chew toy, you're either scared of doing side sticks or you play too soft lol
i completely 110% understand why people hate a lot of this, especially The Trick... but unironically The Trick is my favourite song on an album i also love. im weirdly enjoying what has been several hours of this man dunking on one of my favourite bands though. keep up the good content lmao
9:10damn this is actually so sweet
the holy trinity:
spectrum pulse’s review of the click
artv’s review of neotheater
brad taste in music’s reaction to oko
I'm definitely an AJR fan, but dude, I love brad taste in music, and you can't deny most of the things he says. I still do like this album though.
“It’s called ‘Bang!’... no clickbait!” Lol
Never seen brad this angry and insane before
usually i can see why people enjoy a certain band/artist, but i legitimately i cannot find a single appealing thing about ajr’s music
As a former fan the band is popular amongst people who haven’t listened to any other music besides mainstream stuff. Basically people who haven’t taken a deep dive into music and can’t really notice how horrible this is. I can thankfully say I’m a changed man… PRAISE THE LORD FOR GIVING ME BETTER TASTE
The world's smallest violin is a guilty pleasure for me. I don't normally like AJR, but it's one of the only songs I tolerate. I'll give it a listen once in a blue moon, mainly cause there's other songs I like more.
I like the fast paced part at the end that’s about it
Good, but over played
has this guy never heard of a metaphor? he knows the beginning of the trick is about a compulsive lier, right?
The sound of the song is so bad that I dont even think it matters.
@@damong9435 it doesn’t though
@@djmonaco39 yeah ur right... it dosent matter
The message dosent matter
Liar* also I agree with Inconsistent
I actually would be super interested in hearing more about Tina's opinions on em especially like which album is her fav
Be honest Bradley 'Taste in' Music, if this album was called 'To Pimp an OK ORCHESTRA' you would have given it a 10/10...
Bang sounds like a dr. Seuss macine
"humpy dumpy"
I just realized that DIDNT say humpty dumpty
I get it.. they started with a bang
