    With the line “I believed in God back in ‘09, always f*cking b*tches at the same time,” AJR cleverly comments on religious hypocrisy, in addition to demonstrating a strong sense of self-reflection not seen on their previous projects. Superb. 8.6/10 - Pitchfork

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.

    I feel like there are ways to bring up politics in songs like this if your politics are actually a part of who you are. I know Pat the Bunny often made it work because his passion and values were core to the struggles he sang about, and he actually had something interesting to say around that. It all fit together well. When AJR does it it feels unfocused, as you said.

    I think the title of this album references Weezer's latest album Ok Human, which is definitely a reference to Ok Computer. AJR had Rivers on a track so I reckon they did it in reference to a homage album name that is kinda lesser and odd (Ok Human) and then they come along and water down that line of references by being like we're going to forgo the connection of human or computer, just that not even know that line of thought, and were like Ok OrChEsTrA bEcAuSE wE gOT oRCheStRaL iNsTuMiNts

    As someone who usually despises this group, listening to these reactions has been interesting in me trying to figure out what’s at all redeeming about what they do since their production ideas are interesting. Listening to more of their songs, AJR are far more suited to making hip hop beats for other people to rap on than trying to turn those beats into full pop songs on their own. When the drum loop is in and they’ve got their samples in there it can work, but I think how they choose to expand on it leading to a chorus or their verses and stuff just almost never works for me personally.
