I've been waiting years to make the video!

I love this record. So much I can’t put it into words. Jeff’s “solo” career started at the same time as my real adulthood. When I first graduated from college I look like shit came out. And I’ve loved every record since and he always felt like an older punk brother helping me deal with being an adult. I’ve never acted like more of a dork than when I met him. I couldn’t say anything but hi and that I was there to see him because I randomly ran into him and John on the street

The writing and editing on this is really great. Volksgeist and Polyphonic set the bar really high for music analysis, but you seem well on your way to being right there next to them. As a fellow editor, one thing that I would personally love to see you add in future videos is some small sound effects for your animations. I know it adds a lot of time to an already long editing process, but it's really what sets great channels apart from just good channels.

Thank you! I am not a good editor, honestly most of the time it feels like pulling teeth to me, haha. I don't want to focus too much on editing, it's my least favourite part of the process, but that said I should definitely put more effort into soundscape, it is just a matter of time and budget. I don't have the money to access sound librarys, and I know Polyphonic in particular hires a sound guy for his vids.

Worry is one of my fav albums as well. My fav song would be while you're alive because i personally feel as though it puts the whole perspective of the album in a new light. After you hear the line "love is worry" you begin to realise that the entire album is an expression of love and how to love someone or something will result in you feeling worry. You don't worry about someone you don't love and you don't love someone you don't worry about someone you worry about. You begin to understand each and every song isn't him just complaining but an expression and a cost of love which he feels most media brush over and glamorize the feeling of love. He is in love with the girl on i did something weird last night, he loves his friends and the position he is in and is scared of losing that in we begged to explode, he loves world which is why he worries about the invasive nature of late stage capitalism on festival song and loves the memories he has which is why he is so sad to see it leave on starring out the window and wave goodnight to me and I could say something similar about each song on the entire album and all of the dismal tone is switched up in one song. I feel as though this is something I have felt for a long time and I love how Jeff has expressed it to the point where a lot of these songs actually happy. Worry is simply the cost of love, and there is no greater emotion than love, so worry more.

Worry is one of my favorite albums of all time. Its been on heavy rotation especially through the last year and a half. I'm always happy to see people talk about it. Definitely subscribed. Great video!

the editing on this video is chef's kiss amazing video

Being a massive fan of Jeff Rosenstock, I love seeing him getting the recognition he deserves. Worry is easily his best album. No Dream, Ska Dream, and We cool? are easily 3 of my favorite albums of the decade. I highly recommend listening to him.

This album changed my life. It was the one that was there for me and said what I needed at the right time. It had the right sound and attitude that spoke to me. I had just discovered Jeff’s discography and was obsessed just before this was released. Seeing it played live was something I’ll never forget.

I love this album so much. Pretty much anytime one of the songs comes up on shuffle I just have to go and listen to the rest of the album, or just the whole thing over again. This video was super well edited and written, thanks for the awesome deep-dive on an awesome album! Time to go listen to worry again now...

Worry and No Dream are my absolute comfort albums to hear . Its crazy how perfect a front to back listen is .

damn i would listen to the whole album watching a "lyrics video" built with this typographic style, it's really great

Just wanted to comment to say that this is a great analysis of one of my all time favourites.

I don't know how you made such a golden piece of content in just 4 years. Beautiful bub.

I am consistently blown away by how ahead of its time and on the pulse this album was. It almost feels more relevant now than it did in even 2016.

And I also appreciate someone guiding me through all these lyrics. I often don't take the time to read them, due to a mix of laziness and also the fear of finding out that they're crap xD

im so glad that there is some kind of video essay about this album, its rare to see and its really cool to see my favourite artist of all time getting that kind of attention

Oh wow! I love this video man! What a perfect (good 😉) breakdown of one of the greatest albums ever made. Thank you

Thanks to this video I found this amazing album. It’s been so long since I heard a pop punk album that talks about these topics. And I’m definitely gonna keep listening to it.

Listened thanks to Polyphonic and all I can say is where has this album been the last 5 years of my life? It amazing and this was an excellent video.

Fantastic album and the way you approached the work using a focus on seasonal connotation for the video was inspired!

This was really really really well done and you have so little attention. I like what you do. It's too good. Keep it up please.

Yeah, I admit it's a bit clicky! So part of it is the Abbey Road comparison, being the last album The Beatles wrote and recorded. But I also think the title was a little more clear before I edited out some of the bits that talked about it. 😅 In the original draft, I talked a little about how it's probably going to be MY last great pop punk album. It's a very youthful and juvenile kind of genre, but getting older and entering my 30's means there may not be another pop punk album that resonates with me so hard. Worry is very much a pop punk album from the perspective of a man in his 30s, and by that point most pop punk acts struggle to make something with that much authenticity. I also wrote this script before the pop punk revival had kinda picked up this year, hahaha. I'm sure there will be more great pop punk albums in the future. Hopefully near future!

Great video. Worry is in the Top 10 albums of all time for me. Probably Top 5

One of my favorites, and your commentary was great!

I adore this album and I adore this amazing analysis of it. Subbed! Keep up the fantastic work ❤️

Beautifully crafted video for a beautifully crafted album. Subbed

LOVE the typography

Loved the video, but the only thing that I disagree with is your remark in regards to the 2nd half of the album. I feel that it actually starts at Pietro, 60 years old.

I have WORRY. tattoed on my arm because that album has had such a profound impact on me. I love this analysis of the album and I'm still finding inspiration in its lyrics in my everyday life.

Really cool video, I liked your thoughts a lot. I think I disagree with part of your reading of Festival Song though. I didn't think the song was necessarily meant to be about corporations co-opting progressivism, but more so about counter-culture movements getting neutralized by getting co-opted into mainstream culture. I might have been primed to believe that because it's a subject that comes up a lot in Bomb The Music Industry's discography (songs like Side Projects Are Never Successful and Shut Up The Punx), which I like even more than his solo discography

Great video. The line in "wave good night to me" is "they've spent the last 5 years", not "we". That is, VICE, landlords, the powers that be, were all trying to kick out the DIY punk venue he's discussing

This is one of my favourite albums of all time and is so far removed from the genres I usually listen to. Crazy how music works! Maybe the catchiest record I can think of

2 years later we have the masterpiece that is hellmode, thankfully this isnt true anymore :)

And then POST came out. Then No Dream. Then HELLMODE. It’s all a 10

this was amazing nice video man

An incredible album, and an important step on my personal music journey.

This album is a masterpiece, thank you for doing it justice

This is so damn good...

this video is so underrated!!! it’s amazing!!!!

When my kids get older and someday maybe express some kind of interest in what was going through my mind in my 30s, I’m just going to hand them this record. It means that much to me.

bruh i get it. but there is so much good pop punk it’s ridiculous. the story so far is a good example of an amazing pop punk band. and there is so much more. movements, modern baseball, real friends, moose blood. I mean for you to say this is the last good pop punk album blows my mind. this is more like punk rock with ska roots than pop punk.

So true bestie

this fuckin' rocks, dude

member in 1999 when there were lots of movies about people afraid about not having an identity and becoming bored with modern life, welp...now that ain't a problem anymore!

perfect may not exist but this video is pretty damn close!

Fantastic

very good vid :3

so fucking awesome!!

Are you telling me this thing was a concept album all along ?!

Damn good video

this video is eye candy

No Dream was much better. But talking about the last great pop-punk album is like talking about the last, great drugstore, romance novel; much of it is simplistic, derivative, and populist. Rosenstock takes it the genre up a bit but his goofy schtick comes across as somewhat weak because he is often lyrically simplistic and his use of expletives are simply are just a replacement for better imagery, irony, wit, and word play. Had he taken no No Dream more seriously and invested more time into better lyricism (there were some great moments, though) it might have transcended the pop-punk boundary. Instead it's a good album with the trappings of populist reductionism and it can't escape its boundaries and be taken as a serious work: one can only take it somewhat seriously.

HELLMODE was even better

WORRY. is seriously the greatest record ever recorded. Ever.

Ok no dream is amazing but I don’t know if it’s pop punk

He definitely leans on the side of punk rock. Worry is probably the most pop-punky of his I've heard, especially on tracks like Staring Out the Window, Wave Goodnight To Me, and I Did Something Weird Last Night. But you'd be hard-pressed trying to pass off pretty much anything off the medley as pop-punk.

Well you were proven wrong. He dropped ANOTHER great pop punk album.

Wrong, Gami Gang is total fire

I hate hate hate hate hate the term pop punk. That’s non sense to me. It’s an oxymoron imo. It’s melodic. It’s not pop

Click bait title and thumbnail.

It's an insult to his genius and hard work to classify this album as even close to pop punk. The pop punk genre is vapid and generic with 98 percent of the bands all sounding the same and writing the same lyrics. Jeff is one of the most if not the most underrated musicians of any genre let alone the folk/punk/ska genre. He is the hero of deep meaningful introspective lyrics combined with the catchiness of ska/punk. I just think it's totally crazy to put him in this empty and vapid pop/punk genre especially when you consider he is the shining example of DIY within that community. When I hear pop punk the first thing that comes to mind is bands like a day to remember or we came as Romans. No disrespect to either of those bands but Jeff is leagues above them in literally every single musical category you could think of.

This title sucks I'm not watching lol sorry That's not how music works

Jeff is the best musician of the millennium
