Is AJR all that good?

[MilesW1998]

I recently listened to AJR's latest album called "The Click" and I could not take the murder on my ears anymore. I honestly think we may have the worst album and band of the entire decade thus far. Say what you want about the disaster that was bro-country from the likes of Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, and Luke Bryan. The crappy, basic and generic as hell rap and hip-hop from Future, Migos, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert and 2 Chainz. But this so called "indie" pop band may have the worst, and I do mean the WORST album of the entire decade. It tries to blend pop, electronica, dubstep, and even folk, country and rap together, and they just fuck it up, because they cannot make it sound good or enjoyable in the slightest! They have to rely on awful pitch-shifted vocals like in Weak, a sever lack of any bass guitar or bass groove, lack of any drops in most of these songs, terrible, TERRIBLE lyrics that only satisfy privileged young fuckwads in their 20s and teens, awful doo-wop production that should never mix with pop, (At least Meghan Trainor can make it sound good),unnecessary trumpets in Netflix Trip, awful monogenre crossovers that fall so hard on it's face, shitty attempts at rapping, and some of the most generic and fake percussion ever in Bud Like You. And there's also the fact that these dudes cannot fucking sing, no matter how many vocals effects you slather onto their voices, they just sound robotic and uninteresting. I swear, and yet most people just shrug them off as something not to care about. But seriously, listen to this album, and you can see just how fucking awful these guys are. In fact, we should have an AJR challenge, try to listen to AJR as long as possible without wanting to murder yourself.

If you actually want to take the challenge, or are somehow a fan of them, the link to the iTunes page for the album is here, as well as a playlist of all 13 of these "songs"

NO NO NO NO

I'm pretty sure that this violates your constitution.

[.It'sGriffin]

All of their videos are blocked in my country. Literally. All of them. It may have to do with a law here regarding the humane treatment of people.

They seem like an average Alternative band based on "Weak". Honestly "Weak" is better than most Alternative songs, imo.

But according to some people on the Disqus board on Billboard were talking about how it's the worst thing they've ever heard.

They're not Alternative, they're "indie" pop, and they attempt to mix electronica with pop and other genres. Listen to Bud Like This, Overture, Netflix Trip, 3:30, No Grass Today, and Drama, and you'll see exactly what I mean by that.

Meh. They had I'm Ready which was really good but other than that I don't care for em.

Oops. IDK why I thought they were Alternative.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

What a random band to hate enough to make a thread about? Weak is a jam. That's all I know.

[Bigfatliar 3]

they are tolerable but yeah they aint that good.

[Sambalada]

They're... okay. They aren't among the good ones neither the bad ones in current music.

[Sherane Lamar]

Just realized that they charted a song called "I'm Ready" in 2014 which featured Spongebob.

[chicken077]

I honestly don't know, lol. I've only thoroughly listened to two of their songs, "Infinity" and "Weak", and I love both of them (love "Infinity" a bit more than "Weak", but both are jams). I don't remember/haven't heard their other songs, so I guess I couldn't make a definitive judgement for this...

[rainie]

I actually love Weak but yeah I've heard their album sucks. I love how swift the backlash against them was, guess their album must really really blow then

[Enigma.]

Do they REALLY have songs called Netflix Trip and No Grass Today?

Yes, it's on the album "The Click". And what's ironic is they have a song titled The Good Part, but there is none at all in this album.

To me, they're not good, but I don't think they're terrible like most people do. I'm Ready was okay for me, kind of annoying and kind of fun. Infinity was great and so was I'm Not Famous. Let The Games Begin was pretty bad though. I think Weak is decent, but the rest of the album sucks. So I'm split on them.

Just gonna leave this here.

[LBTrocks]

So now I know who sings that "Weak" song I always turn off when it comes on the radio.

Anyway, AJR are awful IMO. I hate the lead singer's voice and their style of music is 100% the type of music I detest.
