AJR - The Click - Album Review 

Oh hey Oliver, love your channel

Me too

Yes Mark made me I even commented something nice on the AJR video.Im having a crisis

Trust me man, its not worth it

Hold on a damn minute...

Well, the longest album review he's done alone. Some of his collab reviews with ARTV and thelpclub I think have been longer than this.

Scott Rohrbeck Your right. Time for a edit.

Honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't a 0/10 myself.

He said fuck plenty of times in his previous videos

He gave the new The Chicks album a longer review

Album Surgeon Reviews Honestly i'll take any joke over this joke of an "album" AKA just an autotuned pile of garbage

Disx 131 This was an album? I thought it was the choirs of Hell bellowing at me.

"Should I go for more clicks this year, or should I follow the click in my ear?" If it's the click of a handgun, the latter. #Edgy

Album Surgeon Reviews it was a very "weak" album. (kill me)

Yeah, I wouldn't want A Jan Reality, would I? Yeah, I wouldn't want people to be able to click on a link to save Godjan, would I? Yeah, I wouldn't want God to stay alive and have sex (in his reality), would I?

He even came across a Glee fanfic he really liked a while back, one about a zombie apocalypse.

I do too. @Spectrum Pulse is the best.

Crocodile f|_|ckers too lol

I'm borrowing these phrases to describe the new Blackpink album. Thank you Spectrum Pulse!

Dick-shreddingly gross

Zach If I'm not mistaken, they didn't like the fact that he tried labeling them into some genre when he reviewed their previous album Vessel in his earlier years.

They got mad at Mark's 8/10 review of Vessel. Yes, you read that right.

21 pilots hardcore fans are just beyond retarded.

I'm part of the Clique and I think most of it is cancer

Nicklas Wachter makes perfect sense as to why Warner Bros would market this group towards this audience.

funny to see you here

@@rosemuletfunny to see you here

The Wonky Angle I know I'm three months late but REVIEW IT

No, a roast is usually more friendly and well-intended. This review is anything but friendly.

Dirk Peloquin Or more of a full fledged public execution

It wasn't even a roast, it was a slaughtering.

B-HOP Hey, have you reviewed this on your website?

Dirk Peloquin It's not a roast when it's 100% false

ARTV does this mean you are going to suffer through this album?

Jaden Just He already did, and gave it a 3/10. He did a five in one review about a month back, and it was the last album he covered in that video

Will Calton ok. Gotta check that review out

Hey John. Finally Found a place and a job again. Playlist is now officially up to date.

JEFF!!!! YOU'RE BACK! I'm so happy to hear you're back on your feet. Hit me up on Twitter if you need to chat man.

Now THAT would probably be Mark's first 0/10.

FlipTrackz 😂 please also put that up on his patreon!

featuring Florida Georgia line.

So are we calling this album "Fuck You, Mark"?

Zachary Jones Only if Jake Paul mercifully decides not to make an album.

It’s better than most major record label songs that are about drugs or the 30 exes the “artist” has

@@Cashcorn No actually, it isn't. The issue with the song is it tries to do the absolute bare minimum to differentiate itself from those albums by making it about boring mediocre dudes and using awful annoying quirky samples. Then it expects us to be impressed and astounded and relate to what is essentially a glitter coat of paint over some completely normal ass boring pop songs with identical structure to the "exes and drugs lmao" pop songs.

@@FirstnameLastname-ju7em What I think is better is a matter of opinion. And they also compose and write their own music. I hate it when “artists” buy songs and beats from others and then claim it as their own.

@@Cashcorn those both sound much more interesting than this, and there are tons of artists making that kind of music who write their own songs

@@blakchristianbale Name a couple of artists who write, compose, and sing their own songs (that aren’t generic) and I’ll be sure to check them out.

You say I turned out fine, I think I’m still turning out

@@roscothechampion5585 I hope you stick around

Were gonna figure it out

When I'm still turning out

But do you actually like the album?

NATE WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU BEAUTY

Review the AJR album my good sir

NateIsLame sup nate

No I heard him, just wanted to squeeze in my dislike before I was out of here ;)

@@piausc4712 well that's even worse. You disliked the video before even listening to his arguments

@@daniilromanenko3677 Honestly this video is a pain to watch. I tried but not based on what he said, but it’s just so stressful like even if I haven’t ever heard of ajr. Also it’s not his opinions, it’s just the way he’s presenting it which I don’t like. It’s my opinion, but I’m not trying to change yours.

@@piausc4712 I couldn't understand how you worded that but whatever, this album sucks.

@@vicstonek9 I already know you guys think that, if you don’t have any reasoning or anything to defend your claim than just move on with your day

Andrea Luna I'm worried about mine lol

I know right, this review sucks, I can’t wait for him to get bombarded with hate

The review was good And sp was correct

AJR Stan 🤣

@@turboshazed7370 ...No, I agree with him.

@@done___ I was not talking to you read the reply that stands out like a piece of shit.

I have to agree lol

B E L L I C O S E

Hm, personally I think part of Mark's distaste is comparison to other artists who already have done music in this mold, but to him, better. Obviously Mark sites Jon Bellion and Twenty One Pilots, but if I may share a personal example that more defines my view of the album, I decided to listen to "No Grass Today" out of curiosity, and I wasn't angry but I have no use for it. I have no use for it because I already heard this song earlier this year. That song is "Drugs" by Alltta. Now, Alltta is collaboration between rapper Mr. J Medeiros and producer 20syl, and their song "Drugs" is remarkably similar to "No Grass Today" in concept, execution, lyrical ideas, even some production elements. And I would say both sound about equally preachy, "Drugs" is not like my favorite song or anything. But to me it just, works a lot better. The first reason for me is that it has a better melody. I don't what to grasp onto in "No Grass Today" because the vocal melody isn't well matched by the instrumental tones. There isn't an underlying harmonic structure that sticks in my head on "No Grass Today" and I kinda struggle to call up what the songs sounds like to my memory. 20syl has a clear melodic and harmonic throughline in his song that just connects with me a lot more, and even though that song also has a lot of melodic ideas, they seem connected, they all fit the harmoic structure, and feel like logical extensions of the last. It sticks in my memory. And that includes Mr. J Medeiros's flow. Honestly, I feel his flow fits the song melodicaly more than in AJR (not sure of the singer's name). And the lyrics make Mr. J Medeiros a bit more of a real figure. "Drugs" has these very specific details and circumstances that flow into each other. Not perfectly, but it builds reasoning, to explain what Medeiros thinks on drugs and lets him make his statement on it. And even though that statement is a tad wishy washy, you see why. He sounds like a person who has experience with this. AJR sounds a bit less believable, and more importantly, the ideas don't really build as well to me. Is "No Grass Today" my worst song ever? No, I just have no use for it and when I listen to it, I can only think of songs that sound better.

That being said, Netflix Trip still sucks.

Tamerlein Music they basically copied Jon bellion's old song Human just listen to it and you'll hear it

I could not agree with you more

Thought I had the ADHD but that’s a real thing, and I’m just lazy.

It's AJR. They aren't supposed to have grit.

@@jeremyusreevu237 Yeah they’re supposed to have no grit actually

NavInkling Gamer I love their music

NOPE! I love there songs

NavInkling Gamer I love them

Beatles Fiend fuck you

I love them hes just negative

Not likely. Weak just died on pop radio.

Zachary Jones Tear In My Heart did the exact same thing, just sayin

Was Tear In My Heart even sent to pop radio in the first place?

Zachary Jones It charted, so it must have been played on pop radio a few times.

Zachary Jones I heard it once on a radio station. And of course I've heard Stressed Out, Ride, and Heathens countless times on the radio

Blondieflay Wait what

wrong channel

Spectrumthony Pulsetano

Awfully Memetano here, Internet's busiest awful memes.

Jack Bointon Human Condition meets Mobile Orchestra.

Goddess Of Change hahahaha

Goddess Of Change yeah, it definitely reminded me of Mobile Orchestra at first

It also shows AJR, and what they're music is like, in my opinion.

Caymaster The review is better than the album

@@guylikesthings eh, I found it most boring apart from when he gets mad, he just repeats the same stuff to sound smarter each time

Lol

And a bit of ripoff Jon Belion

If you don't like AJR, fine. But AJR is a million times better than The Chainsmokers.

The Rock Critic I'd say 11.

The Rock Critic Petite Mort, I think

The Rock Critic hi senpai crash 4.5 one more lights/5

The Rock Critic 3005

I got a cure for The Click. Enter Shikari's 'The Spark'

Personally I don't hate them because, their music isn't really giving detestable messages or anything, things worth feeling offended over, and some of their structural incompetence may be hatable but I shan't give it. But if you like them, well, give a listen to Jon Bellion. I don't feel like their songs need to exist, because there are just better versions I already know.

I like this band

The beats. The lyrics. The vocals!! Aaaaaa

ChaseM same I’m in love with all their music it’s so good but everyone here hates it

It is because he only presented that songs that fit his point, and the people in the comments like him, therefore they agree with everything he says like pathetic mind slaves.

i take it back this album is actually inconsistent as hell

I mean, do you see some truth in what he says?

i’m pretty sure the only reason this didn’t get a 0/10 is because he doesn’t do those

IKR, probably one of the absolute WORST songs I have ever heard in my entire life, if not THE worst.

It sounds like a Disney reject Actually come to think about it half this albums does

Bud Like You is as nightmare inducing as a Bob Ross painting.

This review is a work of art

pokemonand9 the last few spots on worst of 2016 was also funny.

Thijs van asselt Also on the Worst of 2015: "People who are scared of their own testicles need music too"

I’ve read his pre-video blogs where he dropped F-bombs like it was Christmas.

@@gabeguarin1096 i’m an ajr fan and even to me that was just absolutely hilarious JEJSKEID

Timon Reissing Yep.

He's had a total of 5 2/10s on the channel, but this is his first 1/10.

Tejas Kalyan for an album to be a 0, it basically has to be not music.

I wonder if 6ix9ine's album will get that rating or another 1?

God forbid men have hobbies 🥴

SAME BRO

I guess but in the end I just mostly like the music and vocals together but if that's not good then I'm not lol

Yes, Im usually very accepting of opinions different from mine but honestly the mass hatred for AJR has just became extremely irritating to me

@@Alexander-hi8bo nah im feeling it their music def deserves it

@@faro8784 no, I don’t think so

@@Alexander-hi8bo ok I respect that

Yeah ikr, theyre so salty 💀

I'd say that was the Dead petz roast by Fantano

Yeah The Best Roast In The 2010s Ever I Don't khow Why RU-vid Does Not put this vd In RU-vid rewind I don khow Come On

well Hand Of God sounds suspiciously similar to Overture on AJR’s first album, which came out first.

lol okay, I'm gonna say this right now: I enjoy both bands quite a bit. AJR has problems, but I really do respect them and enjoy the majority of their songs. But their original Overture (nor their new Overture) don't SOUND anything like Hand of God. The IDEA of mashing most of the songs on the album into a piece was similar, sure. But this is not a new idea in the lightest sense. A traditional Overture was mainly used in classical music at first (I believe) where it served as a prelude to the show. It, too, combined several of the ideas of the upcoming music into a single piece. My point here is that there's a difference between using a trope that's been in music for several centuries and blatantly ripping off a melody that's used in about a third of a song

L. AJR is an awesome band.

​@@jeremyusreevu237no one is safe from you Lol

Disx 131 he doesn't give out 0's. He believes that all art is, well, art, and that alone is deserving of at least 1/10 credit.

naw party was alright he gave x a 4 and FoAF a 3. It'll be a 2 at worst.

He didn't like Party, though.

Disx 131 He said he refuses to review it

He said that he doesn't want to review it. He may end up having to review it if we ask for it. That is, if we're willing to ask for it at our own risk.

Thanks for that, i agree.

its a shitshow

ThatOneKid ... "epinyon"

Agreed...about 21 min of hating... if it was that bad I wouldn’t spend that much time ranting on it.

Maybe he should have referred to it as a review/rant, but I think everything he has to say is genuine. He has opinions on it that are strong, stronger than his other videos for sure but they're still thoughts and criticisms of an album that he wouldn't necessarily recommend to people. And to that one person who horrendously misspelled opinion, reviews are supposed to be opinions. They're supposed to showcase what people like and dislike about a specific project and what they could do better in the future. Music criticism is so important because it's showing artists flaws in their own music and how they can correct it for the future as well as allow other artists to understand the flaws of someone else so they do not release music with the same problems. And if you ask me I don't see why this review would be held at a different standard than Anthony Fantano's Not Good series, where he rips albums apart with valid concerns about why a particular artist in no way achieved the success in a project. Yes, Mark got angry but everything he had to say was well thought out and could certainly help AJR create better projects. To the person who said this video was 21 minutes of hating, you obviously didn't watch the whole video. He wasn't just sitting in front of a camera whining about how this album sucks, he offers legitimate criticism with the anger and passion he provides with his directness of what the group fails to achieve with The Click.

and fantano also gave it a 1/10 💀

“Click” away. Ha.

@@cbrad_edits ha... ha ha

@starstruck 04 hey winter. I've seen you in a lot of these lol

@starstruck 04 lol actually listening to them rn trying out me new heelys

@starstruck 04 so I was running through living room and some fan mashups. How was osn? I almost bought a ticket.

LZ I can’t wait!

anal or oral?

Noah Ford I’d much rather hear Despacito. It’s an upbeat, fun tune with some flavor that isn’t really, really, REALLY trying to be more than it is.

@@jakesibley897 no

Despacito is trying to be a lot more than it is

zooka0619 He's gonna have to listen to Kendrick, Nick Cave, and Dave Cobb albums for another week before he gets back to normal

gorillaz sampled oh yeah mr krabs

Blondieflay why does that make me proud?

Blondieflay they can make it work

because the song was good

they did

B-HOP it is

It’s not that bad

I’m happy someone else is referencing that line. I have such a dislike for AJR and Neotheater in particular that I’ve made that line an inside joke with my friends and family about something that is obnoxiously bad.

Sound Judgement it’s also an obvious, “ hey, I may be rich, but I have problems too.” That’s a FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOUUUUU ! Moment

Oh my god. You're the most oppressed man in the world

@@Knabtube626 I know, thank you for agreeing and sharing my pain. Cry for me? I want to, but I'm too weak

Why would anyone hate AJR? What's there to hate? They have never made a bad song.

still the worst album I’ve heard in my life
