Listening to AJR for the FIRST TIME | Reaction - PART TWO

[@theroyalsphinx8121]

The Overture is a combination of all the songs from the Click album

[@sneakmore]

Not to blow anyone’s mind but do yourself a favour and look up the definition of Overture “essentially beginning of a relationship/introduction to a longer music composition” which just so happens to be a collection of a bunch of their best songs in a new format.

[@sneakmore]

Also to clear up when you said HE produces all of his music it’s they, AJR is three initials for three names which are all brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan

[@jellow3017]

The first AJR Overture is in the album living room

[@Dante_Seth]

It's basically another word for mashup

[@parkpartyytmusic5060]

You're thinking of the song OVERTURE

[@myri02]

For a part 3 I recommend: -Karma -Don’t Throw Out My Legos -Dear Winter -Birthday Party -Wow, I’m Not Crazy I really hope you do a part 3! 😁 Edit: They’re coming out with an album in March so maybe check out some newer stuff like Bang! Bummerland and My Play Edit 2: Way Less Sad just came out and it might be my new favorite so definitely check that one out! Thanks!

[@ztigerclaw8882]

These songs are soooooo good

[@meaganjurries5460]

I love no grass today too. Karma my favorite of theirs

[@bwmanhath3770]

Yeah and he'll like the cello in Karma!

[@alexyomom]

neotheater sucked tho

[@bwmanhath3770]

@@alexyomom you have no life. (Jk - I see what u mean it was worse than the click but it didn't suck)

[@phillipalbrecht2313]

Its on us campaign was created by Barack and Michelle Obama to raise awareness and support both men and women who are victims of sexual abuse(to my understanding)

[@phillipalbrecht2313]

And also there is an overture for every album not including neotheater and it is made purely the songs from the respective album meshed together

[@GrimeyReload]

Yeah I'm pretty sure your right with that and also they're new song, way less sad is amazing

[@melissacuesta4961]

Also just so you know, AJR is the initials for Adam, Jack, and Ryan who are all brothers. Jack is the main voice you hear singing and he is the youngest. Adam is the oldest and doesn’t sing as much anymore. Ryan does all of the producing on all their songs. They can all also play some instruments, they are all very talented.

[@susannahgordon5334]

ryan does the production* but yeah otherwise you’re right, jack an ryan do the songwriting and all 3 of them perform in shows

[@melissacuesta4961]

Susannah Gordon i literally just mixed up the names but thank you for pointing it out, I just fixed it

[@bwmanhath3770]

Adam does the bass guitar!

[@kiwiparfaits]

i thought ryan was the youngest? 🤔

[@melissacuesta4961]

Kiwi ryan is the middle sibling at 26 yrs, jack is the youngest at 23 yrs, and adam is the oldest at 29 yrs

[@missmayhemmaker8364]

AJR is literally my favorite band and the energy at their concerts is off the charts because they put so much time and effort into their songs that they create such an amazing production on stage. They have so much energy that Jack, the main singer of AJR, literally spins on stage with some of the songs and you can tell they love making music so much. Glad that you did another reaction to them because they really are a great band. Also, fun fact, AJR is the combination of the boys in the band's names: Adam, Jack, and Ryan

[@thefandomfish3071]

okay so correct me if i’m wrong, but so far he’s listened to: - sober up - i’m not famous - weak - drama - i’m ready - it’s on us - pitchfork kids - livin on love - three thirty - overture (from the click) - 100 bad days so that means he HASNT listened to burn the house down, bud like you, bang!, OR come hang out???? HOW DARE EDIT: i confused 100 bad days with bang! when i first wrote this comment, so this edit was me changing that. lol oof 👊😔

[@roastedpotato05]

At the start of the video he says he listened to 100 bad days already

[@mmdimaggio]

Burn the House Down is *essential* AJR!

[@bwmanhath3770]

What about Let the games begin or Turning out? They too are essential!!!

[@bwmanhath3770]

@@itsveggieboy oh yh you're right...

[@mmdimaggio]

Bowman Hath Let the Games Begin is def also essential! Turning Out has never been one of my faves, but I know that a lot of people really like it, so I think it would be worth him listening to.

[@thefandomfish3071]

HERE ARE MY TOP PICKS FOR THE NEXT VIDEO!!! (rated from 1 to 5 in importance, 1 being THE MOST important of all): 1. Burn The House Down (PLEASE. *PLEASE)* 2. Bud Like You (THE CELLO,,,,, LIKE SRSLY) 3. Come Hang Out (this one is one of my all time favorites bc of the memories it holds for me but besides that it still SLAPS) 4. BANG! (this one is SO cool. like yeah all ajr songs are cool as hell but like. the SOUNDS in this one bro. ugh so good) 5. Dear Winter!!! Either that or turning out, because having at least one mellow song in the mix is good for variety. I really love AJR’s upbeat/intense bops, but their slower/more chill songs often get less attention, which sucks because they’re good too! in conclusion: *please if nothing else listen to burn the house down or i will have a stroke and die*

[@amire8599]

For part 3 I suggest - Karma - Bang! - Bummerland - Burn the House Down - Come Hang Out

[@eel2939]

You nailed it- those are the best songs of AJR’s- my favorites :)

[@Evonilx]

@@eel2939 same! They’re all amazing but yeah these ones are my favourites!

[@JustJayFR_official]

Way Less Sad: *Am I a joke to you???*

[@zorrow_]

Way less sad Hupty dumptu Bummerland come hang out Kamema Dear winter

[@trying2think765]

Finally another music review channel that doesn’t despise AJR. I love how this is so genuine and actually gives a real reaction. Thanks bro! I’d highly recommend Bummerland, Karma, and Bang!

[@existential_moth]

Please listen to Karma Turning out pt.ii Turning out Birthday party Bud like you Next up forever - all by AJR Also The Bastards album by Palaye Royale (:

[@oliviadaniel7408]

Yes yes yes and PLEASE YES TO THE BASTARDS ALBUM

[@existential_moth]

@@oliviadaniel7408 YES.

[@charlotterosewood4170]

Not all of them sing all the time. Adam doesn't nearly as much anymore but most of the new stuff is Jack and a little bit of Ryan Edit: Also, overture was a mix of every song on the entire album And I feel like you should definitely listen to Karma, Dont throw out my legos, Next up forever, and Finale (we cant wait to see what you do next) for sure because those songs are absolute masterpieces

[@kiwiparfaits]

omg ive waited for SO LONG oh its on us is so good 🥺 it's for awareness of sexual assault on campuses (or in general?) i believe! oh these are some Old songs. makes sense bc I'm sure most of the comments were from before their new stuff came out. you really gotta listen to their new stuff sometime too! they only improve. Pretender, Birthday Party, Break My Face, Karma, Don't Throw Out My Legos, and Finale (Can't Wait To See What You Do Next)! also I've seen them perform live 2 times now. One for The Click and the second for Neotheatre. Their live shows are.. a must see. Like that's where they SHINE. the pure genius and creativity of the entire neotheatre show blew my mind.

[@natalieacevedo8825]

OMG ITS HAPPENING. EVERYBODY STAY CALM

[@miss.m8388]

For part three I recommend: -beats -don’t throw out my legos -karma - Netflix trip. - break my face

[@myri02]

I hate to do this to ya Tom, but you gotta listen to Neotheater from 2019. The songs you listened to in this video are older. Loved the reaction though! 💖

[@DJDipstick]

Yeah it kinda sucks that he was directed to Living Room songs considering the fact that it doesn't really do them justice

[@SamMcPieVTOL]

I think he should just do a full neotheater listen haha

[@Dan-xj6oy]

I was hoping he would listen to the entertainments here

[@DJDipstick]

@@Dan-xj6oy same

[@ivomuilwijk8227]

He should watch the neo theatre worldtour. It would probebly kill hij but he seems to be into that stuff

[@myri02]

The three of them used to all sing but in more recent songs Jack is the main vocalist, while Ryan also sometimes sings.

[@LivinLikeLyle]

Overture is basically a medley of their songs from the album! Also you need to react to Turning Out and Turning Out Pt II

[@aidenbarrett3030]

Honestly in my opinion turning out pt. II is my least favorite song of theirs, it’s too simple in my opinion.

[@mmdimaggio]

For Part 3: • Bang! • Burn the House Down • Dear Winter • I’m Not Famous • Karma

[@someone-ji1qh]

I'm pretty sure the It's On Us campaign was for sa And Jack is the main one singing, Adam doesn't sing anymore, and Ryan occasionally does backups or higher vocals. He also is the one singing in Call My Dad for a reference And the Overture s are a weird and amazing mix of all the other songs on the album :)

[@threearmedonion]

Bruh, he didn’t even realize the ed sheeran line in “three thirty”

[@jiafeiproductsirl1786]

for part three I recommend -"Woody Allen" -"Afterhours" -"Birthday party" -"Break my face"

part 3 recommendation top 5: - Overture (Living Room Edition) - Infinity - Growing Old On Bleecker Street - Don't Throw Out My Legos - Bummerland

[@Roux36Prod]

I honestly think you should do a stand-alone reaction video to the Neotheater album, mainly because of how it explores the challenges of growing up. The sound they went for is honestly just mind blowing, and each song is connected to another song on that album to tell a story, so I think it’d be really fun for you to also try and find all the easter eggs. ;)

[@existential_moth]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AGH

[@drewkelly3622]

Watching a Non-AJR fan listen to their songs the first time is so satisfying, welcome to the AJR community Tom! Were happy to have you apart of it

[@quinnhammond3040]

It is mainly Jack and Ryan who sing/ use the instruments. Adam is mainly focused on advertising and other business related things. Adam also plays the bass for the band.

[@melissacuesta4961]

I was excited to see you react to new songs but most of these are from their 2015 album Living Room and The Click in 2017. Neotheather is their newest album released in 2019 and you should listen to that album because it is amazing!

[@jacobschandorff3545]

I suggest -next up forever -pretender -the entertainment's here -let the games begin

[@necro6074]

in Living Room they all sang quite evenly, but now it's mainly Jack who sings, Ryan from time to time and Adam almost never, which saddens me bc I love Adam's voice so much :(

[@carsonchamness2555]

the overture is all the songs in the album remixed into one song

[@jamesgriff3341]

YES FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE LAST AJR VID

[@americasanchez6067]

The fact he was listening to their first songs and he was vibing...I can only imagine what he'll think of the music now. All I wanna hear him listen to is that instrumental in Bummerland starting with the vocals and Ukelele....oh. I want him to listen to that.

[@rosie3241]

Absolutely perfect timing! I was just listening to them

[@kamisevak]

Answering your Questions: •AJR is a band created by 3 brothers •5 years ago on their first Album, they all sang together • During the Click only Ryan (the brother that produces most of the songs) and Jack (the lead singer brother) sang • Adam (the oldest brother) usually doesn't sing, but he used to on their first Album • the Third Album Neotheater doesn't have an official Overture. The one you saw probably was made by a Fan • It's On Us is a Campaign made for Rape and Assault Victims

[@EJ_2004]

Turning out, Wow I'm not crazy, Dear winter, all great songs of theirs I recommend Edit: Forgot to add Burn the house down

[@yowaimo5004]

I put AJR on repeat on Spotify. They are in my top 3 favorite bands in existence. They're very unique. Very popular for their strings and trumpets. Literally the best.

[@cutieguti]

Loved your reaction! If you stan the Overture its basically a blend of every song on that album, The Click! At this point give us an album reaction cause that album transcended me when i first listened to it lmao It's so unique from everything out there

[@ianmitchell5979]

Thank you SO MUCH for reacting to more music by AJR! There's still a LOT of songs from them you should listen to, like Karma or 100 Bad Days, but this is still solid! Also, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the music video for Overture! It showcasing the names of the songs that appear in the overture, to give you a better understanding of what song you're listening to!

[@pierse26]

You should listen to OK Overture, 3 O'Clock Things, My Play, Adventure Is Out There, Bang!, Ordinaryish People, World's Smallest Violin, Christmas In June, Finale, Wow, I'm Not Crazy, The Entertainment's Here, Break My Face, and Don't Throw Out My Legos. Or you could just listen to their new album in it's entirety.

[@ricemelk2967]

Iv been waiting for this

[@mccoyyoung4806]

Tom: “This is weird, but really cool!” Me: “Yep, sounds about right.”

[@Adam_Carbone]

I know that this was like two years ago, but "Overture" is quite literally an overture (combination of songs) from AJR's album "The Click" so you have to actually get a sense of each individual song for it to not sound "weird."

[@nightfall598]

It’s usually Jack that sings, occasionally Ryan, and very rarely does Adam sing (he usually does backing vocals and instruments)

[@eerice704]

They’re sound has changed even more since The Click, and I personally think it’s A LOT better

[@airamay4314]

Man you NEED to listen to Turning Out Pt. ii and Normal, those two are my favorite songs and they're just damn amazing!

[@cookieundertherock1035]

I reccomend Bang, Birthday Party, Karma, The Entertainment's here, and Next Up Forever for part three. I really hope there's gonna be a part three!

There isn’t an overture for neotheater btw

Neotheater is actually their most recent album but if you listen to it I think you should do the whole thing in order, it's like a whole story to listen at the whole album. They also have a new single called Bummerland which is amazing

If you want to learn about how AJR’s songs are put together and produced you should check out the livestreams they did a couple of months back. It is really cool to hear all the little pieces and find out what all those weird sounds they use are.

thank you for this blessing of a video on my birhtday!!!

[@Hanib]

AJR is for adam, jack and ryan! they used to all sing during the times before they released 'The Click' but now, they all have different roles. jack sings, ryan does the producing (both also do writing) and adam handles more of the legal stuff like concerts, features and things like that

I recommend: Burn the house down, Bud like you, Birthday party, Karma, Don't throw out my legos, Wow i'm not crazy, Next up forever, Finale, The entertainment's here, Netflix trip

[@mattburke1869]

It’s On Us is a campaign started by the Obamas to open up talking about sexual abuse on college campuses in America. The name comes from the idea that it’s on us for creating a stigma around the topic preventing people from getting help. AJR has 3 main albums, Living Room (2015?), The Click (original 2017, Deluxe in 2018), and Neotheater (2019). Most of the songs you’ve listened to are from the Click, with Its On Us, I’m Ready, Pitchfork Kids, and Livin On Love being pre-Click. Overture is, well, an overture for their album, combining elements from each song into one as kinda like a “Heres what we’re talking about: expect this” So this is still at under 1K likes, but if you decide to make one anyway, I’d focus on post-Click songs: Next Up Forever, Birthday Party, Break My Face, and Karma from Neotheater, and the Bang! and Pretender singles. If you wanna stay pre-Neotheater, Burn the House Down, Netflix Trip, and Let the Games Begin are pretty good.
