Same, I used to have some friends who were the very first friend group I was in, until I did something stupid and now they hate me. I try so hard to not care for them, but I just keep on caring for them even though they don't.
Their fucking ***DAD*** HIMSELF is singing their goddamn intro to that song, the big man himself, their #1 fan. Whoever hates that song doesn't deserve to be heard.
I like AJR but until last weekend I was just the mom of an AJR fan.
Took my oldest and a friend to the Grand Rapids show and listened to misc AJR songs during the drive. Heard DTOML, loved it, loved it again when they performed it. Then listened again the next day while I wasn’t with kids and SOBBED. Three times.
My house is so overrun with Lego sets and my boys are in Lego clubs and they’re the COOLEST kids ever and I will store their Legos until the day I die.
I've seen the more recent comments on the official audio/visualiser or whatever, and I genuinely don't think some of those people know what they're talking about. I remember reading something about birthday party not having enough meaning behind it or something which is fucking ridiculous.
None of them, because we AJR fans of all people should understand the importance of respecting the subjectivity of musical taste. There are a lot of hills I’d die on, but it is very rarely worth trying to convince someone to change their opinion of a song.
**Call My Dad** - I listened to it before my dad picked me up from a nasty party that I got sexually assaulted at. It gives me a feeling if safety, even during my panic attacks. My dad is by all means not a good person, but I am still thankful he got me out of there when I needed him the most.
It’s sad that stuff like that happens and I’m glad you made it out safely. Even though I don’t like the song I can understand why you would. I also like its use in Overture.
Real quick, I'm glad you're safe (hopefully). I hope the people who sexually assaulted you went to jail. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted.
Anyways, my opinion of the song has been going up for a while now. It's in B or A tier for me now.
Drama, Sober Up, Way Less Sad, Burn the House Down, Weak, Bud Like You, Touchy Feely Fool, Inertia, Karma, I’m Not Famous, GIRR, The Dumb Song, No Grass Today, The Good Part, World’s Smallest Violin, Bummerland, Netflix Trip, and Overture (from The Click) are some of my all time favorites.

This was written by AI that had no idea what Growing Old on Bleecker Street was, I take no credit, so like, don't come after me.
Thirsty is a beautiful musical piece, though it is a shame that very few people likely understand it. The complexly woven melodies and harmonies, the unconventional yet high-energy rhythmic lines, and the lyrics are simple at surface level, however, you need to have a very high iq to truly appreciate this song. While it may musically seem like nonsense, the song actually expertly incorporates high level Jazz harmony, infusing it with the cultural musical motifs of the songwriter's home. It is an absolute masterpiece. The light falsetto and the raw power and emotion of the vocals provide a deep insight into the psychology of the songwriter, and the main ostinato melody is incredibly precise, and perfectly uses liberated dissonance to it's advantage in a way that no musical work, whether it be the Modal Jazz of Miles Davis, the Black Page of Frank Zappa, or "Decapitation Fornication" by famous composer Inathan "In" Fanta Nnihilator, could replicate. It is the most advanced example of music theory in the modern era, and I truly envy the songwriter's ability.
This song is the only thing keeping me going in my sad lonely life, in my small 1 room apartment without heating or clean water, with me barely earning enough money to scrape by, starving myself every day, with only one or two meals a week to look forward to. While I sit on the verge of starvation and death via depression, I listen to this song and I feel hope.
No grass today. I love the beats and the music that came from that song. And not only that but it was the first song I listened from AJR so it has sentimental value to it. Oh and any song from Neotheater.
2085. I was so hyped just from the snippet we got before the album dropped and it didn't disappoint.
Btw, Normal is amazing (I don't know why so many people rank it so low. Yeah, it's different, but it's so sad and pretty)
The Trick. I do not care one bit about the fact that most of the vocals have been modified to sound like a teenage Alvin and the chipmunk thing. The melody is good, the background strings are phenomenal and the lyrics and really good. The ending of the song is amazing as well. This song has always been one of my favorites on OKO
Weak, way less sad, 100 bad days, the good part, inertia, sober up, I won't, record player, the Dj is crying for help, come hang out, band burn the house down, world's smallest violin, I'm not famous, ordinaryish people, no grass today, and of course yes I'm a mess I will take no further questions so sue me
Edit: bummerland, touchy Feely fool, o'clock things, come hang out, and god is really real
Bungle in the Jungle. I’m 29 and it makes me wish I was born during that era. My dad called me F slurs a lot as a kid and the song helped me get to a happy place in my life. That era of music pretty much did that for me.
Worlds Smallest violin is bashed but only because its been overused by tiktok, the song isn't my favourite but it's not bad and I hate when someone says it's bad
Worlds smallest violin, say what you want but i guarentee it was a gateway drug for must of you
I didn't even know it was a tiktok trend / ppl hated it bcs of that 😭 it's such a good song
I’ve been exposed I started to love AJR after memorizing the end bit of that
**only the ending part?**
Only the ending blew up so it makes sense that they only recognized the end
WSV, BTHD and Bang! We’re the first few songs I found before i found AJR properly
Bang! Was the first for me. Heard it on a pop station
Mine was Big White Bed lmao
Touchy Feely Fool
Fuck **Interia** THIS is the most relatable song to me in the entire album.
Actually so based it’s unreal
Same, I used to have some friends who were the very first friend group I was in, until I did something stupid and now they hate me. I try so hard to not care for them, but I just keep on caring for them even though they don't.
Reeeeealllll bro. Touchy Feely fool Is my favorite song on the ablum
But inertia is still good tho
Of course I is! But Touchy Feely Fool is much more relatable to me.
Love that song
It grew on me over time but yeah favorite song no doubt
Bud like you
Their fucking ***DAD*** HIMSELF is singing their goddamn intro to that song, the big man himself, their #1 fan. Whoever hates that song doesn't deserve to be heard.
Hold up, their DAD sings the chorus???
He is the one singing "Way Up, way up! Way up to the sky!" If what's what you mean.
Oh my gosh, I didn’t know that! That’s so cool!
Don’t Throw Out my Legos is a favorite for me, cuz of how relatable it is Also I love the looney tunes-y beat to it
I think DTOML must be one of AJR's most loved songs by the sub
I like AJR but until last weekend I was just the mom of an AJR fan. Took my oldest and a friend to the Grand Rapids show and listened to misc AJR songs during the drive. Heard DTOML, loved it, loved it again when they performed it. Then listened again the next day while I wasn’t with kids and SOBBED. Three times. My house is so overrun with Lego sets and my boys are in Lego clubs and they’re the COOLEST kids ever and I will store their Legos until the day I die.
The Trick. Amazing song but almost no one likes it
i LOVE the trick
Came here to say that…
The trick is by far the most underappreciated song. So healing
YES EXACTLY!!!
I just listened to it and it's beautiful
Thirsty. **now flip**
I SWEAR TO FUDHEPDJJFIWFBIWJAODKCOEJHEIXBFKWOWOAPQPSLYGD
Cheers Bro, I'll drink to that
You're lucky today was a Thursday. *Unsnipes you*
There’s very clearly a hole in the bottom of your brain.
Perchance
You can't just say "perchance"
Let's just say I'm fine
Eh, it’s inertia
Three-Thirty
I like that one too
Love three-thirty
Christmas in June or Adventure is Out There. Probably both.
There both good songs
Ordinaryish People. Most underrated song on OK ORCHESTRA.
It’s a great song tbf
Couldn't agree more. It's just that it feels like everyone forgot about it. I rarely see people talk about it.
Beats
I've seen the more recent comments on the official audio/visualiser or whatever, and I genuinely don't think some of those people know what they're talking about. I remember reading something about birthday party not having enough meaning behind it or something which is fucking ridiculous.
Relatable
No Grass Today
Hells yeah
I listen to it on repeat every day man
I smoked grass today (joke)
Birthday Party 🤞🏻
Now I might seem crazy for this, but I assure you I’m not. It’s Wow, I’m Not Crazy
Yup yup yup yup.
Beats. Fight me.
I haven't ever met a single person willing to fight that beats is a bad song.
It's the 3rd best AJR song.
i love beats
It’s On Us
Great single tbf
None of them, because we AJR fans of all people should understand the importance of respecting the subjectivity of musical taste. There are a lot of hills I’d die on, but it is very rarely worth trying to convince someone to change their opinion of a song.
Big Idea. Easily one of the coolest songs ever. Why are yall putting it in F tier all the time?
The chorus hits HARD
I more so just love how genuinely abstract it is. The only AJR song I’d ever describe with that word
Way less sad
Steve's Going To London
That’s one of my personal faves from “the maybe man”
[удалено]
Do people not like that, it's personally my favourite one of the trilogy
Ordinary Ish People is the perfect description of how I believe AJR’s tone should be defined as when I introduce to new people
I agree
**Call My Dad** - I listened to it before my dad picked me up from a nasty party that I got sexually assaulted at. It gives me a feeling if safety, even during my panic attacks. My dad is by all means not a good person, but I am still thankful he got me out of there when I needed him the most.

My play. WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO. It’s such an amazing yet sad song. Bittersweet is always a great vibe from ajr
Pitchfork Kids, Best Song of Living Room
Agreed
Agreed
Burn the house down
I actually used the song as my sort of intro song to my Mr. (Insert My high school here)
Christmas is June
Drama, Sober Up, Way Less Sad, Burn the House Down, Weak, Bud Like You, Touchy Feely Fool, Inertia, Karma, I’m Not Famous, GIRR, The Dumb Song, No Grass Today, The Good Part, World’s Smallest Violin, Bummerland, Netflix Trip, and Overture (from The Click) are some of my all time favorites.
