RESPECTED MUSIC CRITIC REACTS TO AJR - "OK ORCHESTRA" pt. 1 

this is false, he said “ok human” by weezer was his inspiration, get facts right please

@@smoov22_sonic well that’s clearly false considering ok human came out this year and ok computer came out in 1997 🙄 do you take me for an idiot?

@@untamedbanana3794 yeah, the joke is that you can clearly notice the bad production 💩🔥💩

@@cbrad_edits OK Human was said to be an Album they were gonna work on since 2018 I think so it's possible that's the case.

5:10 OK Human by Weezer 😉

Looooollll

ok human

It’s like if Lil Xan named his next album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Xanny”

@@frackingfluidinjection this is like if gunna named his next album "Dripmatic"

DID I HAVE A STROKE!?

Oh it’s the emojis

@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT are you ok In the head?

@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT reverse card you’re gonna have to ask yourself the same question because I was making a joke

I didn't even notice that till you pointed that out.

You’re right

perfect quote

They grew up on Disney but this don’t feel like Disney.

But… it dont feel like Disney.

Legit some of the trashiest lyrics I’ve seen by a major artist lol

@@johnpaulcross424 how are they trashy? They're relatable and quite real

@@Kirusdagon Their lyrics are extremely poorly executed, with next to no nuance or implication, they almost exclusively choose to address any and all topics at face value and don’t think beyond said superficial evaluation. It’s amateurish and seems almost lazy.

I personally like the intro. It's just not relatable. I am a fan of AJR but this is an Eh.

Idk, I like it, but I can respect yall's opinion 👍

That shit isnt low key its high fucking key

Unironically

Yeah he’s pretty good tbh

I read "free styling" as "fry stealing" and was confused for a moment.

Brad has better flow than Logic

thats not the lyrics though the original was always down to hang he had no time. its meant to say joe would make empty plans and promises backing out last minute. the line you put is just a bad parody and about as repetitive in todays culture as they come.

@@eviehaven5775 take a joke 💀💀

@@coastercraziness or and hear me out dont let people steal other peoples work mess it up and say its better. at this point they took a college paper on the risks of bullying and or ignoring symptoms of abuse and changed it to show that todays people are too soft. it also is an example of how people today think a song needs to cuss and talk about drugs sex violence which isnt the case. so the point is you need to learn the difference between a joke and just insulting and calling it a joke.

@@eviehaven5775 you are way too serious about this, lighten up and take a joke. Please don’t reply with another long paragraph, no one’s gonna read it and you’re wasting your time. No disrespect tho, you like what you like, just saying you’re taking a joke as a threat and an attack when it absolutely isn’t that serious

heh

YOOOOOOOWCH

My ex was an avid fan. AJR was all she liked. I wanted to peel myself like a banana and traumatize everyone around me every time I heard them

Same

Don't worry, this guy is just trying to roast everyone for views. This is my opinion.

@@santiagocunha7175 not really, brad likes certain artists he just has his own taste

He really made me feel like an idiot for my music taste.

@@teld1te608 makes sense

@@BradTasteInMusicOfficial AYYYYY LETS GOOOOO

And trumpets by Jason derulo lol

OHHHHH

@@joshuaclarke366 good call

I also thought of Holy by Justin Bieber when Brad started singing the melody.

The criticism isn’t the issue with these reviews. The issues it that he acts like anyone who likes AJR is a child and/or has a bad taste in music.

@@veritateseducational217 i think it might just be his humor but i totally get your point

@@veritateseducational217 thats true tho

@@veritateseducational217 he’s right

lmfao same

If he wasn't funny I would tell personally attacked that I like the ban

Dang the Alex Bowman picture from like 2019. It's a nice paint job, though.

@@jc1424 lol I just haven't changed it for a while. good looking car tho

Bro same

Agreed

Same!

Its awesome to look at the dislike to like ratio its obvious not many people agree

@@framelawncare6671 like i’m an ajr fan and i’ve been subbed for a while and i loved this lmao- like a) a lot of this was valid criticism (although i disagreed with a lot of it) b) it was fucking hilarious- like a lot of it was very clearly over exaggerated and overall it was just such a fun video lmao

@@framelawncare6671 no a lot of ajr fans watch this and THEY don't agree

Incredibly based

@@ha04Rry Hey what’s ur favorite color bud?

@@kp71062 Probably brown or yellow. Some ugly color.

False

No no, you’ve got a point

i'M sO OffENd i'M cANeL yOU

Glad someone said it. Genius stuff isn't always accurate. But yeah Ryan talked about how Joe is about someone that is a sort of Godly figure in your life that you look up to and even possibly take parts of your personality from. Its having someone that you want to be just like and, even years down the road, you might still think about due to having this inexplicable admiration for them.

Reading AJR fans’ comments is almost as excruciating as the actual music

Really? I was assuming that Joe was hinting towards Joseph or God. He mentions God a lot in the song. Look at the lyrics.

Something about the lines “you could make her laugh in a real way “doesn’t seem like something a childhood bully would do

@@ducklingterror4190 I think he was just comparing joe to god to show that he looked up to him.

I feel like that's a lot of Brad videos but that's why I like him lol

Yeah, I agree. I listen and like AJR but I hate when they throw in these weird and unwarranted social commentaries in a song that isn't about politics. If you're gonna make a song about this shit just make another American Idiot or something

The Overture is the last song you should listen to in any of their albums. It’s so packed full of other songs that it sounds crazy if you don’t recognize them.

@@nickliderbach I usually listen to Overchures twice, once before listening to the rest of the album to know what type of songs are in it without spoiling them, and the second time is after finishing to fully understand it and know what parts of each song are where

@@nickliderbach AJR said to listen to it at the beginning if the album and then again at the end with an understanding of the context

@@nickliderbach if you’re watching the mv tho it makes more sense bc it has the names n stuff, although it’s probably kinda hard to appreciate when you haven’t listened to the rest of the albums. but yeah i agree, i watched the mv 30 minutes before the album dropped, but if i hadn’t i think i would’ve been more confused lol

Yea it’s like you never know what is happening with them and they are unpredictable and I love it

Phhht their biggest fan is spectrum pulse of course!

@@piausc4712 True! Fantano is also up there too since he gave this album the first ever, “Not Not Amazing”

@@maxipad27 You be spitting fax (your username is evidential)

i see what you did there

Lol references

I LOVE THIS

Underrated comment

You mean Christmas in June?

i wish there was less of brad, he's just so in your face and it makes it kinda annoying

@@maristodal4119 if you want more AJR and less Brad, you can just listen to their music

@@maristodal4119 If you're on Brad's channel, watching Brad's videos, you're going to get a lot of Brad. It's... kind of how it works...............

It is a band I can agree

it is indeed a band that exists in all time. that is factually correct

Update guys. They're still a band.

@@turrtle795 yes definitely a band of the year

@@isaiahjoiner1625 because Taylor swift writes lyrics like: “I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife” and AJR has lyrics like “100 good stories make me interesting at parties.” Nothing wrong with shallow lyrics but I wish they had more complex and less basic lyrics. But to be fair that’s part of the reason why their fans like them.

@@isaiahjoiner1625 I would never compare Taylor swift to AJR in lyrical writing I’m sorry lmfao

@@isaiahjoiner1625 imagine comparing one of the most passionate songwriters to a band who has a song called 100 Bad Days

you're a top fan i bet

@@jaythec7994 what is that supposed to mean bud

I was thinking the same thing, it's like he's only doing it so he doesn't have to hear more of the song and make the video longer.

It’s because AJR is shit

@@JohnnyDeppSmashedOnCocaine ok, your not gonna change my opinion by saying that ajr is bad

@@Ottomann217 I mean it's not like he gets revenue from this video directly as it is for sure copyright claimed. So I doubt he is trying to stretch the video.

Honestly I bet it was cause he was so mean-spirited throughout the whole thing

Someone Ryan looked up to actually

@@Kirusdagon Shit my bad

@@nichibotsushima6819 you're fine lol

@@Kirusdagon Ryan Mama

Ryan

lol

He honestly gave them a fair shake other than his strange preconceptions of the mix, he clearly has no experience with mixing.

@@thomasherrington7237 i don’t have any experience with mixing either lol, so i can’t speak on that, but yeah although some of it was obviously meant to be dramatic that was the best part. like everything was just hilarious i loved it

@@leethepigeon I think the tone is one of the most important parts of making this enjoyable like he's so non self serious. He recognizes that wanting to hate on something superfluous as pop music is silly and he plays into the fact he's just trying to have fun instead of the super serious "ajr is ruining the music industry" narrative that a lot of haters just default to for cheap clicks. Good content 10/10 would watch part 2.

@@thomasherrington7237 exactly lmaooo- like i’m sure he dislikes it but i don’t think it’s like the bane of his existence. it’s almost like a parody of spectrum pulse and other such people who just hate on it for the purpose of hating. brads jokes are hilarious, and his criticisms are usually valid although there’s also counter points

@@nevermindgaming6848 ah yes using the r slur- also he was clearly being melodramatic at some parts for a joke- i’m not saying he likes the band lmao, i’m saying he wasn’t just blindly hating on them for the purpose of hating, and along with valid criticisms some of it was just meant to be funny lmao. ;-;

Wasnt Ok Computer a reference to Ok Orchestra or have I heard wrong

@@theboogeyman2590 if your not joking. ok computer is from the 90s, it’s the highest rated album of all time

as his girlfriend, you’re so right

@@tinaoom oh hey tina

@@alsostephenking hiiiiiiiii 💙

@@nevermindgaming6848 lol yes he’s doing a lot of things right! best boy ever and i’m very happy. :)

Didn't expect the wholesome twist.

Yeah I really liked the album but I also like brad and thought this was pretty funny lmao

@@equinox6690 I was worried a lot of AJR fans would get pissy in the comments, but I'm glad people are finding this funny

@@burikinodance yeah it just depends on people’s perceptions of things ya know. also your name 😳

Its funny as hell ngl

The trick was probably the worst song in their new album, their best was probably world's smallest violin.

They always take a stand on such controversial issues

From an AJR fan: I agree wholeheartedly

Yes. Mostly agree

without the lyrics, its car commercial music

ajr fan logic: "60% the time, it works every time"

both is good

@@nevermindgaming6848 idk man, an actual critic would probably look more into the musical ideas and less their own opinions

@@BradTasteInMusicOfficial don't let the AJR stans get you bothered dude! Biased morons can't accept that people have their own opinions and objective standards

@@peterthirdandthebridges Metallic luster did actually make a good argument here. What he was saying is that it feels like he’s just trashing on ajr and not actually bringing up some good points as to why he thinks the music is bad

@@toontales2479 he is though, the overproduction, the tacky samples and voice filters, the questionable lyrics, the lack of originality. Plus he was saying that he thinks this is probably their best work yet, he just still had many problems with it. There is no such thing is an objective view on music but at the same time he isn't just blindly trashing them and not giving the music a chance. I mean there are parts that he likes. Plus it's not just unbiased criticism, it's entertainment and presentation. Presenting requires personality and if he was to talk in the most neutral way about it would kill his personality. Even the projects he loves he shits all over and basically flat out insults parts he doesn't like. I think people just get too easily hurt by hearing brash, unfiltered, played up opinions.

i have rly bad news my guy

I’m dying rn💀

At least Brad is self-aware about how dumb and bad they are.

It seems like he couldnt think of a valid comeback, so he half-assedly hearted your comment

@@bubski6981 yeah lol

who is that?

@@mikafizz1022 he's a funny video game reviewer :)

dont do it like neotheater where you didnt release the part 2 smh

just seeing it now.... godddddd

@@tinaoom Bradley is an editing god

Ikr! I sent him the whole Skippy saga and like a day or two later he made that song 😂

Wouldn't it be a quad?

AJR and red headphones

My level of humor is so destroyed that I never laughed during this but I laughed when I saw a Pink Shiba Inu say “glue” then cough but its autotuned.

As an ajr fan, this guy is absolutely hilarious and I’m subscribed to him

Fair

@@piausc4712 agreed

Can't forget Joe Nectar

you realize its a joke... right?

@@LiffeyOW lmao yea

@@LiffeyOW they made a joke about a joke

hAHAHAHAHAHA

Is the person that wrote the song asexual? Besides, an asexual person saying sex is overrated is kinda like a straight person saying gay sex is overrated, like... okay?

@@sarads7877 hes straight

Also he says “MAYBE it’s overrated” meaning he’s not sure

They've had the name of the title since neotheatres era

@@luke2max who cares? Its still a shitty ripoff

@@Purplepentapus_ i’ve been told that the name Ok Computer was based on the name Ok Orchestra

Yea but one of them was actually really good

I agree, I laughed so hard when he started rapping it was so good.

I mean, its relatable. The lyrics are witty, so i dont get ppl who think their lyrics are weak.

@@theboogeyman2590 no offense but I would never consider their lyrics witty... they sound like a fifth graders poetry project and every time they try to be creative lyrically it’s not well executed

@@camjacques4888 ok, explain why their lyrics are weak?

@Cam Jacques I can explain adventure is out there if you’d like?

*Trumpet drumset noises*

I really like AJR but this is really fun to watch

Exactly haha.

That’s the point of the song. It’s not meant to have a single topic it’s just a bunch of random thoughts

"If you sit on your own pee for too long, would your legs dicintergrate?"

@@waffledoesstuff2145 agreed

@@waffledoesstuff2145 also what stuff does waffle does stuff do on his free time This is the most confusing question

Same, I listen to music while playin games so I don't have time to actually notice anything. I just want a vibe to come up.

same too honestly i dont focus on the lyrics that much but the instrumental goes absolutely hard at times

he sings "maybe sex is overrated" and lyrics of the song are just different 3 am thoughts thrown together its not meant to be taken that seriously

You realize this guy has a girlfriend right-

You're aloud to like what you like lol. Just because other people don't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to them only as a "guilty pleasure".

I think ok overture is the best song because it has all the good parts of every awful song

listening to ajr after a long time is honestly refreshing

Same

Same

Same haha

Me too, but there is some truth into what he’s saying.

Yeah, I’m an AJR fan but this be funny and a majority of the criticism is valid.

Thank you for having a brain. Maaan, some of people in this comment section are literally freaking out for no reason whatsoever.

@@jonashorn8354 Right? I like the band, but loved Brad's takes. It made criticism actually... Interesting to hear, which usually doesn't happen to me much in AJR's criticisms (at least from respected critics and by that i mean more respected than Brad)
