Love this album. I'm that weird guy who loves both the old and new stuff of a lot of albums, which I understand is a bit of an odd thing, but I truly think this album is just terrific. They forwent their banjo/bluegrass heavy kind of music and elevated their game: literally. I can listen to this album anyday, everyday, and whenever I'm in a mood and need to think, this is immediately the album I put on.

I can not and will not understand such bizarre criticism for one of the best albums of the 21st century. This album is a work of art, every single song makes you want to cry, and the only reason why it isn't an auto 100 is because it calls a little bit (tiny bit) to their debut album, but the vibe is real, and the tracks are timeless.

I'm not huge on EVERY single song on this album but the lyrics are undeniably profound, it sounds like music that Tolkien wrote (I'm not lying, I believe this with all my heart, and if you disagree... Well, I won't fight you, but I will defend myself vociferously lol). I love the classics in this album, and even the less known tunes. Not a big bluegrass guy, but its impossible to hate a single song on this album.

Lol absolute banger. Love this song, it's one of those hidden Bellion gems that you didn't realize existed, but once you did, it just hits DIFFERENT.

Gott say, I'm waiting for Belly Boi to drop some more music, because I'm lowkey missing some original music that actually features his voice rather then him giving the Jonas Brothers a leg up in their game (all that song writing cred goes to Bellion, tho, no way that the JB's could've written all that poetry lol). That said, I love this album. I really like everything that Bellion does in it, everything's fresh, everything's raw, everything's real. There are no cutting corners in this, there's ... read more

So, if anyone's seen my previous ratings (which they probably haven't because no ones liked or commented anything lol), you'll notice that I'm a huge AJR fan. Though tbh I'm just a big wacky songs kind of guy, and Jon Bellion and Glory Sound Prep are absolutely under that category lol. Love this album, it's a great vibe, the only reason why my rating isn't higher is because there are a couple of rap-esque songs that throw off the vibe of the album. All in all, though, there a bunch of bangers ... read more

As much as I'd like to give this album an 100, I'd like to think that I take this album rating seriously, especially since it's AJR. So, because of that, I'm going to give this album what I think it deserves: an 86. Why? Well, to be completely honest, I honestly must say that this is the weakest AJR album since Living Room. However, I did give it an 86, because I still think it's a fantastic album, just not up to the standard of The Click, OK Orchestra, or Neotheater. In all honesty, the reason ... read more

Ngl, I'm a huge AJR fan but this is a tooouuugh listen XD. This was the trash album before the greatness, which is rough in the sense that it's terrible, but it's also crazy to see how far AJR has come since the awfulness that this album is. Also, let's not forget that this album contains the song that catapulted them into the public eye, being I'm Ready, which, at the end of the day, is not a bad song, as well as Thirsty. I uh actually like that song. Otherwise the album is terrible but it is ... read more

So, this song, while I was super happy when it dropped, was rather underwhelming. The lyrics are fire, as with all AJR music, but the pacing and tune were rather jarring and I never really felt comfortable with the song. However, the lyrics and cover are phenomenal and it's still a worthwhile listen. Gotta be honest though, might be the worst AJR song since Call My Dad.

Wow. Just, wow. This album rocked my world. I listened to it for the first time back in 2019 when I was blessed enough to find that AJR existed, and I could not, can not, and will not continue to be able to get enough of it. While in terms of creativity and fresh material, I do believe that OK Orchestra is a better album, this album holds a super special place in my heart. The massive jump between the truly agonizing Living Room (although I am a big enough fan that I listen to Living Room to ... read more

I loved this album to death, with the only issue being that it didn't flow together as well as previous and following albums. I think 100 Bad Days is a certified classic, and that cowbell should forever have a place in AJR's hearts. Another thing that I really missed was an Overture, but Next Up Forever is, in it's own right, one of the best songs in the entire album. Relistened to it yesterday, and I really think it's a bridge between the newfound ingenuity that AJR discovered in The Click, ... read more

Gotta be real, this is my favorite AJR album of all time, and there is literally nothing anyone can do to change my mind (other than make The Maybe Man even better, though the evidence isn't overwhelming in that direction). OK Overture is such hype, and got me super amped up for the rest of the album. Brief story: I stayed up till midnight when AJR dropped this album on Spotify, and I listened to it on repeat until 5 in the morning, just to get myself immersed in the sheer grandeur of what AJR ... read more

The one thing that I kind of missed in OK Orchestra was that one slow, sad, simple song that AJR had seemed to have in their previous three albums. However, there's no way that you can't deny the turbulent emotions that the song betrays and it really is a phenomenal song, as well as an ode from sons to dying father. Tbh, if any of the songs have this kind of power in The Maybe Man, it's gonna be a great album.

So, gotta be real with everyone, was super surprised when AJR dropped this song. Was absolutely not expecting it before The Maybe Man, especially because I'm pretty sure this is the most singles released by AJR prior to the album drop. However, with that being said, the lyrics are, as always, absolute and complete fire. I am completely in love with the way the song plays out, and while the outro is underwhelming (something I'm not afraid to admit) and I do wish they had a little more length on ... read more

This is not as amazing as some of AJR's older music, to be completely honest, especially because I just relistened to Neotheater and The Click to get myself amped up for The Maybe Man, but I still think it's a classic, quality, quirky, and honestly listenable song. I don't get the haters tbh who bother posting, tbh, cause if you aren't interested in actually listening and immersing yourself into what AJR's all about, then it isn't fair to write a review. Super amped for the new album.
