CTRL Reacts to “rosie” by ROSÉ

All right. So, we just wrapped up our review to the album and little did we know while we were listening um somewhere along the way, I'm not even sure where as of right now. This is kind of post post tragedy. >> Post post tragedy. Yeah. >> Post catastrophe. Um the album ended up going on to shuffle. So, we listened to some of the songs out of order. We did listen to every single song. So, if There's a certain song you're looking for, someone will either do time stamps or you can find it. We believe in

you. But, um, that sounds so like lazy and dumb, but uh, yeah. So, we're sorry about that. In no way were we trying to disrespect the artist. Um, we would never do that. Um, this happened one other time during our Travis Scott Jack Boys 2 video. >> Jack Boys 2. >> Um, and we really like Travis Scott. We were really excited for that album. And so I mean that's just for a comparison. We'd never do that for any artist. >> I was listening to that album out of order did not impact how much we liked

it or didn't like it. So >> yeah, I mean for that album and after wrapping this one up, I'll say I don't think that um it mattered too much, but I don't want to spoil too much of the review also. Um so sorry about that. Our apologies. You'll kind of see a little like over halfway through the video we realized. But um we did listen to every single song and um yeah, we hope you enjoy the video. So that's all just a little uh section at the beginning to preface that. So yeah, but now on

to the on to the real video here. Don't worry. Okay, control fam. Welcome back to our YouTube channel. We have a very special reaction, a very highly Requested reaction. >> Very >> uh contrary to what we've been doing recently in anticipation of this video, we've done a Black Country New Road album. We've done a Deaf Tones album. We've done uh pop album, Pink Panthers. Um >> she Which one of uh Lisa or Jenny was b born in New Zealand? Um >> I think >> to Korean parents. >> Jenny I think Jenny was born in New

Zealand. And I think that's what they were saying on the >> That's interesting. So they must have met then. So she's part of Blackpink. >> Yeah. >> I I didn't know that until um we were on this. So we we've listened to >> three After this we will have listened to three >> three albums. >> Blackpink members. >> Solo only. >> But no group work. >> Yeah. No group work. Technically not K-pop though because people are saying that >> these albums aren't K-pop which they I guess they aren't really. >> Well they are. I mean

they are but They're from K-pop artists. >> They're from K-pop artists, but they're Like some rap, some pop. Mostly pop in here, right? So, they're not K-pop because there's like barely any Korean on them, but they're I guess they're just popup. So, uh Oh, I didn't even say the artist and title. Okay, we have Rosie by Ros, uh member of Blackpink. Came out December 6, 2024. So, um, a little more than a year ago, right? [snorts] Um, heavily requested. If you look at some Of the comments on our most recent video, this will be dominating

the comments. >> A lot of our recent videos. >> Yeah, a lot of our recent videos since 2026 started. I think >> people want more K-pop. And it I feel like it's I guess you call it a spoiler, but the other two um and it's I know it's not K-pop, but they want more K-pop artists, I guess, is how I'll phrase it. But um the other two videos, We weren't really bought into it. It is safe to say. Um the sound, but they're all separate artists. These are all solo projects. Just because they're from the

same group doesn't really have any impact on how we should expect their music to sound. Of course, there is a little bit of that. Like, I feel like I have somewhat of an idea of what I'm getting into, but at the same time, not really. Because what what I will say is I feel like uh Lisa And Jenny's projects did sound slightly similar in um like in essence, in a way they did. >> Yeah. Um, and more so than just like, oh, it's just pop, like blah blah blah, it sounds the same. Like, it's it

wasn't like that. It's just in terms of the way that they felt, they felt pretty similar. >> They did. Yeah. >> Slightly different, but >> they did feel like a lot like um A I don't know. They kind of they both kind of felt like uh standard pop and there's a little bit of like hip-hop inspired pop or just >> like R&B almost too. >> Yeah. Yeah. Some definitely some of that in there. It's a very electronic um and you know very like 2020s pop music essentially. I mean that's the best way to describe it.

Um because within the albums the styles were like Kind of versatile to be honest. Um I think that's one of the sticking points for a lot of a lot of fans is that yeah like they are covering different subg genres like a lot of it in the album. So they are versatile artists. One of our main problems is that like although they are versatile the subg genres and the lanes that they dipped in, they didn't really go very deep within them. Well, and they just weren't done super well. >> Yeah. It weren't done super well.

So, like >> I think I said it in both videos. It's like you can like you don't want to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. You don't want to do that. And that's kind of how we felt about those albums. It's like if you put every genre as like, you know, a if every genre is an ocean, then the like uh Jenny and uh Lisa, they're like going to every ocean and they're they're dipping their finger In it instead of going to the bottom of the ocean and then they're going

to different ocean, they're dipping their finger in. It's like I it kind of makes for >> um like just generic music most of the time. Yeah. >> Um, most artists like all they most of the time they don't even leave their own genre that they, you know, do music in, but because they're going to the bottom of the ocean, it can sound very unique And and experimental and fresh and new. So, >> and they become more highly respected in those genres. It feels like these albums that we've listened to, the two by Lisa and Jenny,

feel like it it paints them to be like overly ambiguous as artists, like they're just doing absolutely anything that they think people want is kind of how it feels. It feels like they're just trying to appease >> um the fans or what they think the fans Want. And it seems like it is what the fans want because they've been so highly requested and highly touted and just wellreceived in general. But I'm just not really feeling that. It's um there is a certain respect to trying a lot of genres, but if it feels like it's done

in a commercial way where it's like I'm trying to sell albums. It's like, oh, you can make the same argument for like special edition vinyls. It's like, oh, it's super cool For there to be certain bonus tracks on like a vinyl and like these special edition ones come out until you come out with 40 like Taylor Swift and you drop them in bunch of different stores and like Targets and stuff because you know that every every super fan is going to be saying, "Oh, I want all of these. Um, I need to collect them. I

feel a need to do this. Uh, I feel like I owe something to Taylor Swift or whatever." And you never want to be in that position. And It's like don't don't get in a spot where you feel like you owe something to someone who doesn't know you is basically what I'll say >> pretty much >> cuz you you don't you don't really and even in general you don't really owe anything to anyone. Don't don't get caught up in this like uh there is a bunch of >> Oh brother, >> it's like a full uh pingpong

team. >> Exactly what was predicted. >> What What season is it? Is it >> It's winter. >> I guess it's the winter sport season. So, it could be >> swim, >> basketball, swim, wrestling, >> water polo. What other ones are there? >> Well, here it is. >> Yeah. >> Going to Burger King of all places. >> Hopefully, this won't derail the video. >> These guys definitely aren't high schoolers. Probably. They got hella coaches apparently. >> Hell of coaches and like three players. >> Um, I don't really know what else I have to say honestly about

about them. I feel like we kind of touched on everything. Like I it would feel it feels wrong to like deprecate the >> the artist >> the other the artist. Yeah. The we're not even talking about her right now. We're literally talking about >> artists associated with her. But this could be completely different. And I don't want to write it off. It's been highly suggested. People are like, "Oh, you're going to really like this." Um but people say that about anything because they just want us to listen to it. We know that. So, if we

listen to something because it's highly suggested, we we're doing it because it's highly suggested, not because, oh, you guys Won't really like it. Based on what? Based on what? >> It's like based on the fact that we didn't like the other the other albums similar to this. >> Sure. Sure. Sure. >> But, um, yeah, I mean, not >> I'm not going to write it off at all. Yeah, >> we know a little bit of what to expect, but >> you know, it it could be different. It Could be very different from the other two Blackpink

solo artist albums listen to. Okay, I'm gonna read a little bit of this. >> I'm gonna read the description. >> Skim it a little unless is it shorter? >> Uh, it's not that long. >> Uh, [clears throat] the first time Ros was interviewed about her debut solo album, she burst into tears. I ended up crying for the whole 30 minutes. The K-pop singer recounts to Apple Music Zane Low. >> Wow. It was not a smooth ride and it just showed how much time and effort and blood blood, sweat, and tears I actually did put into

it. Ros was born in New Zealand to Korean parents and raised in Australia, shooting to global fame in 2016 as 1/4 of the mega successful girl group Black. >> There's only four of them. So, we've listened to the majority of them after this. Yeah, >> there's only one left. Who Who is it? I don't even know who it is. >> Maybe she didn't do a solo album. I don't know who it is. Um, the 12 track Rosie, which is what she's called by her friends and loved ones, is, as she says, both a time capsule

and a therapy session. >> Oh my goodness. Can you see it on the camera? Our face is turning yellow. >> This huge school bus going to stop right in front of us. [laughter] >> Oh, man. >> Oh, that'd be fine. >> Any um >> proceed. >> Therapy session. a raw chronicle of her 20s as she's still experiencing them and an opportunity to be more personal in K-pop artist often get to be. >> Okay, >> it's just what I talk about with my friends and family >> before getting even more ran with the World. I'll never

forgive you for one thing, my dear. You wasted my prettiest years. I skipped that whole paragraph. Sorry. While much of Rosie explores the complexities of romantic heartbreak, Rosé uh also delves into other lighter subjects. APT, a collaboration with Bruno Mars, gets his name from a popular Korean drinking game Ros played in her early 20s. The infinitely energetic pop rock track shot to the top of the global Pop charts upon its release. >> Ros counts the emotional spiral brought about by a night spent scrolling through social media judgments. Okay. >> And it also represents every toxic

relationship, she says. >> Okay. >> Long work hours and a life in the public eye may weigh on Rosé as evidenced by some of Ros's most visceral moments. Music is another one of Ros's love stories. At the end of the day, >> work hours. >> Work hours. Really, it's like calling what we're doing right now work hours. >> Work hours in a life in the public eye. I don't know. >> I don't know if it's work hours. Like that's the thing. >> I just heard that. That kind of turned me off. >> You're an artist.

Come on. >> It's like I don't know. The hardest part. It's Similar to us making these videos. It's like the hardest part of making the videos is just getting together in the first place. >> Yeah. >> It's like it is work. Like you're working, but it's like to call it hard work. >> Yeah. >> Like and hard working hours that are like effect. I don't know that I I'm not in the position to really say much. I Don't know why. The the main takeaway of this description is that >> the the personalities that we get

from K-pop music when it comes to the artists that are making it is kind of superficial compared to the solo work that she's done on this album, which is supposed to be a little bit more telling of who she is as a person and more introspective. I'm I'm theorizing. is Interesting >> cuz she said that in this description >> even though I don't I don't really know much about her at all even in a group sense but >> yeah but it feels like if we were to listen to one of Blackpink's albums and we were

listening to this album we would get a a bigger and better message of who um Ros is as a person as an artist >> which I mean makes total sense cuz like Yeah how are you going to even define yourself within a group of four people. >> Yeah, >> it's kind of hard to do. >> Okay, so before we hit play on the first track, um, subscribe to this YouTube channel, like the video, comment what you want to see next, and subscribe to our Patreon. It is $1 a month. Um, and you get to see

We're at a Burger King right now. You can't get and there's high schoolers putting on the crown. Of course, this is making me so upset. Just seeing It's making me anxious seeing like teenagers teenagers running around. And >> yeah, I feel like they're going to come Up and like shoot my car or something. >> Shoot your car >> or do something just unruly.

Whatever teenagers do. >> But uh you can't get anything for a dollar at Burger King besides >> water. The sauce packet. No, water is free. Actually, I shouldn't have said that, >> surprisingly. >> But yeah, I mean, a dollar is is almost nothing. So, there You go. There's your reason to subscribe to our Patreon. Um, and with that being said, we're going to play our first song, which is called Number One Girl. [music] Tell me that I'm telling [music] [music] [singing] you that new [music] thing Pick it [music] up with [singing] Evidence and I don't

know why isn't it lonely? [music] [singing] [music] >> I [singing] like the simplicity of it. You know with that bass coming in. I will say her voice [music] sounds a little like robotic. >> Not like her actual voice, just like whatever tuning [music] she has on it or Something. >> [music] [singing] >> Tell me [singing] I'm going big places [music] down to earth so friendly and even through all the phases you [music] [singing] [music] hear me [music] tell me that I'm Tell me that I'm worth it and [music] That I'm [singing] [music] late at night

isn't lonely. [music] I'll do anything to make you call me. Give it up [music] if you told me that I be [music] the one [singing] girl in your eyes. You're lonely. So what's it calling [music and singing] for you? Give it all. You [music and singing] tell me that I Want girl in your eyes. [music] The girl in your eyes. >> Sounds pretty [music] good. [music] >> Has this like moving feeling to it. The >> lyrics are pretty solid, too. [music] girl. [music] [music and singing] [music] >> Like that right there. It sounds like a

complete robot. >> Yeah. >> Oh man. [music] [singing] >> Just sounds really heavily tuned. [music] How long you want me [singing] [music] [music] >> as a whole though? I think the song's pretty solid. [music] >> Bruno Mars wrote on it and so did uh Durn Smile and Sir Dylan. >> Sir Dylan. >> Okay. Well, >> I didn't think it was I didn't think it was bad at all. I thought it was a pretty good song. I would just say that her voice was offputting. Like I And I'm not even saying that in regards to the

way that it's like mixed or tuned on the song like that she's a bad singer. It's just sounds confusing because she's a prominent Artist. I'm sure her voice sounds good. just it it feels like awkwardly overprocessed in a way that doesn't work with how intimate the song is supposed to sound. You know what I mean? >> Like this is the kind of song you'd expect to hear very raw vocals. Like you can hear her breaths and some mouth sounds and stuff going on, but it feels so like curated and like perfected that it makes the

song less perfect. So There's there's been times on in reviews where we've said this song sounds like cliche or it sounds like a thousand different other songs or it sounds like a song we've ever heard before. Those phrases the all those phrases apply to this song times a thousand cuz like this is >> sounds like something I've heard >> a million times and like that's not even >> Yeah. Yeah, but I don't for some reason and I couldn't even tell you why. I Don't know why, but I don't like strongly like dislike it at all.

I don't even really dislike it. I feel kind of neutally if if not good about it cuz it feels I mean it it has some feeling to it. The the thing that takes away from it is the way that her voice like just a little bit of the awkwardness in her voice. And it's not even in pronunciation and things like that where like it it feels like awkward like none of her delivery or anything feels Awkward. It literally is just the sound of >> her vocal. It just sounds so processed >> and it's crazy. >>

But um I mean that's kind of just the way that the vocals are usually done. I feel like in a lot of more mainstream pop it's like you can't have a single flaw in it because like this is the pinnacle of music. You're making mainstream pop music. Like you can't have a single air and it takes away the Essence of music as a whole. It's like this is supposed to be a feelheavy song. And I feel the instrumental. The instrumental is pretty great despite how simple it is. But it I feel like her performance is

also pretty good. It just comes down to it just sounds a bit awkward. I don't know how to describe it. >> It Yeah, it's like it's sounds like very curated and you know it it I'm not a huge fan of her Voice right now. Not because it's bad. It's not bad at all. It's just because it sounds very very very familiar. Like I've heard it from many many many artists. Like this is what I would imagine a female pop singer sounds like. And to some people, you know, it's you might like it because of that,

but I've I've been around music my whole life. You know, I've been listening I used to listen to the radio a lot when I was a little kid and I didn't have a taste Formed and they played this like a million pop songs with this voice on it like so often. >> Yeah. But I mean, is it fair to say that it's not good just because of it her not having a unique voice? because it's like you don't really choose your voice. Like the artists you can think of with voices that stand out like you

can't think of someone in day-today life that like has a voice like a singing voice like that. They stand out because of that voice. Um Which I mean I don't know. It's just like overall I think she's a good singer. The problem isn't her actual voice. I feel like we need to hear more. I want to hear more. I need a bigger sample size. I feel like it was done for maybe this track particularly and if we hear more then it like >> it might change a little bit and the variance will come through and

we'll start to see. >> I don't know what else we're going to Hear though because this was like a piano ballad type song. >> Um >> so I don't know if we're going to get some like rap on here like some >> some more traditional pop. I'm interested to see more and I don't want to write off or make conclusions about anything based on one song. So >> Okay. So, we'll play the next song. >> I don't feel bad at all really about it. I feel pretty neutral right now going Into the next round. >>

3:00 a.m. [music] >> Quick start. [music] [singing] [music] >> So, can we keep the story [music and singing] rolling? Forget that. Mother always [bell] [music] the guitar right now. [music] [singing] [music] >> What are those 808s doing here, bro? >> This just doesn't feel right in a lot of ways. >> I don't know. It's kind of [music] might be growing on me. >> I'm not even Come on. >> I [music] don't know. >> Let me think. You're not going to change [music] my opinion. I'm going to have whatever I want. >> You haven't even said

anything. >> You're saying, dude, [music] [music] [ __ ] about the world. Even when I'm putting you [music] through say you're not like anyone else. [singing] [music] You're everything I need and it's so even when you're putting me through [music] like [music] [singing] I like this sentiment here what she's saying. [music] I just don't >> This is like guitar and 808 combo is like just so >> Yeah, >> it's just awkward. [music] [singing] >> Like the 808's so loud. >> It just doesn't sound right. >> It [singing] sounds like someone made Like a hood [music]

trap remix of >> Yeah. >> sounds altered, bro. >> Yeah. Seriously, [music] >> it sounds like a a funk funk remix base. [music] That's not like us remix type. [music] [singing] [music] >> So definitely worse than the first one. It just is like an awkward Like really weird strange yet still pretty cliche sounding song somehow. like somehow it manages to like be cliche with like the weirdest guitar drum pattern combo I've ever >> Yeah. >> ever heard. >> I just >> I just I didn't really like it that much. >> I didn't I didn't like

it at all. Like >> the I said on the on the last song, you know, maybe her voice will change and it'll vary a little bit. I don't think it >> I do like the lyrics. It didn't It didn't vary. You're right. >> It didn't vary. The lyrics are fine. You know, it's a song about >> I like them. 3:00 a.m. >> Okay, >> I'm gonna roll the window up for you so We get spied on. But um >> get spied on. >> Get spied on. >> These dudes went to the real good spot. >>

They get control content early. They could just sit out. >> No, I meant that they got Taco Bell instead of Burger King. >> But that too. >> Did they really? It's It's really close. >> It's not really better though. It's like $12 for a meal. Remember that one time We went to the A&W and the Dairy Queen right next to each other? >> Yeah. Where' we go? >> I can't tell you cuz reveal our location. >> I mean, we literally >> based on what restaurant was closed and that is that it >> was A&W and

Dairy Queen. It was like right here and and there was like a parking lot. >> Oh, it was on 5001st Avenue in downtown LA. >> Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] >> That's wild. But uh yeah, we went to the Dairy Queen and then we came over back over to the A&W. >> Wow. Similar things today. >> Yeah. >> Um >> but what were you saying? >> It was It's just like her vocals are >> It's like I don't think you can make them more cliche if you tried to. It's Like her vocals

aren't that good. I think the 808s and the guitar is sort of like um you you take two things that might be good in isolation, but then you use you combine them wrong, you know? It's like mixing water and oil together. >> Yeah. >> Right. I don't understand why you would do that, but it doesn't sound that good. I think it just >> it's like if you put a heavy metal Guitar over like R&B drums or something. It's like it's like what what are we doing here? It's just not what >> the lyrics are the

only redeeming fact of this song cuz like despite being cliche I said like the same thing last song I think I said despite it being this but um despite the fact that the lyrics are a bit cliche like they have like a different twist on them that makes them a little more personal and I just I like the sentiment like I always like when people reference like uh the small intricacies of like a happy healthy relationship like I think it's just cool to see you know, everyone wants to make like a breakup song, but there's

needs to be some more, you know, love songs and stuff, too, which there is. Um, I don't really know what I'm saying, but I I just prefer those. Prefer songs that like, you know, touch on the little things, But I still I didn't like this song really. The the first one, not not even like really I didn't think it was bad. Like, it was a decent song. Okay, this one's really not that good. It's just >> Yeah, >> the only redeeming factor for me is the those certain lyrics. I'm like, okay, that's sweet. Uh, but

that's it. So, I don't know. I I don't know how I'm feeling, but we we can press on. >> Yeah, we'll keep going, though. >> Well, we'd never give up. >> Two years is the name of the third song. [music] fall. [singing] >> Who does she sound like? [music] >> Who does she sound like? >> Come on. Name anybody. >> Literally. [laughter] >> Literally just go to >> try to think of it. >> Pull out the song. Well, of course, Geese. >> No, I'm not looking that up. Obviously, >> Geese is the first. >> It's

this song with Hoy that I'm thinking of. Listen to the intro of this and listen to what I'm about to play. >> Okay, I might be right. So, [music] [singing] >> now you're [music] >> She does sound like Holly, I think. >> [music and singing] >> She sounds similar, right? >> She sounds the exact same. >> Doesn't that like even the down to everything, >> it sounds the same. >> Maybe she just got hoy to do the album. >> So listen to this. I'm going to play it again. >> I don't want to play too

much and get strike or whatever goes on. >> Listen to that. And then Oh, we lost the Plot. >> Play the Play the heavy metal. Play the heavy metal, please. >> Right here. >> [music] >> slightly different cadence, but like >> she sounds a lot like Hoy. >> I'm just going to let it play. >> That was just an observation I made. >> See if the Spider-Man can hold it. >> I don't even want to touch it. It just looks like it's going to fall forward. >> No, bro. [music] Trust >> different state. Do they

have states? [music] >> Where she's from? >> No, I think state I I don't know. Whatever. >> She said different like zip codes. >> What? Uh 900210. [music] [singing] That's our That's our zip code, right? >> Yeah. >> Am I getting that right? I don't know. I Just have my butler [music] do all my uh textes and stuff like that. >> He's also my accountant. Butler accountant everything. [music] I'm >> trying to lock in. >> [singing] >> I got to give every song an individual chance. [music] >> Trying to talk you talk yourself up. >>

I am. >> And this actually doesn't sound bad. [music] [music] >> That song with G easy and Hoy isn't like really [music] bad at all. like it's it's a decent pop song right here. Come on. I'm like, okay. [music] >> So, the fact that it's kind of reminiscent of that, it's not a bad thing. [music] >> This isn't really sounding bad at all. [music] >> It's probably the best one so far. >> [music] [music] >> Maybe I'm just sick and [singing] it's going to be [music] [singing] sense [music] that I can't move on. Yeah, I

try. [singing] I try. I try. I try. But this love never dies. [music] My bed you sleep in my head. I try [music] I try [singing] I try I try butise. H probably the best one. I said this style suits her the best and it didn't sound like every element of the song was clashing with each other like it did on the last one, but uh and she I'd say she sounded the best vocally on this one, but it it's still not great. Like it's good. It's decent, but it's not really I don't know. It

just feels like the least risk-taking music ever. like every every Vocal, every everything always perfectly on beat. Nothing like it just sounds so formulaic and um that's really just the best way to describe it. It's like it it's almost like she's removing a lot of like the human element from it. And it's funny cuz people for a while I was kind of bought into it too. Like everyone in the comments is like that's like what you guys are complaining about is pop music in a nutshell. It's like like that is it In its at its

core. And it's like no it's not like pop music it's about the repetition but it's not about every single aspect of the song sounding like so perfectly in time and all of that that it just sounds like it's like robotic. >> Yeah. Like everything about this feels so perfect that it's not good, if that makes sense. Like it feels like it's trying so hard to be perfectly perfect. And um I just don't really love that in um music in general, but especially pop music because there are already the repetition factor of it. So it's like

I don't know. That's why they I give a little bit of credit at least when they like duck out the instrumental on the last chorus or whatever or they have like a little bit of backing on it or some ad new ad libs or whatever on that last one. This doesn't even have that >> on any of the songs. It's like there's No variation like at all. It it I don't know. It It's like And it isn't bad, but it's just so it's so like not bad that it could never be good either. It's so

like not not that good. not that bad that it just falls in like this middle ground where it's like, well, this is definitely a song. That's what I've seen. >> I like what you said about, you know, it's it sounds so perfect that it it can't be good. Like, it's not perfect. But I would replace that with, you know, it sounds so clean or it sounds so formulaic that it can't be good because um, you know, there's definitely a phenomenon in music where you make the you make everything sound way too clean and way too

overproduced and, you know, um, like formulaic, like you're using a formula that thousands of other pop artists have done. this guy really likes these high schoolers. Like >> pause, [snorts] big pause. >> But uh you know, way way too formulaic and way too overproduced and >> um it just sounds very cliche to to a certain degree. And >> I feel like it's a trap that's almost impossible not to fall in if you're a mainstream artist. Like you have everything at your disposal. You have an infinite budget for your albums. You have the best producers, best

engineers, Best songwriters, best everything in the whole world. It's like, how is it not going to end up sounding like this? >> Because you give you hand it off to so many different people, it use it loses every human touch >> that is there. Like you you hand a song that you wrote off it. It's like an essay. You hand it off to the more editors you hand it off to and you're like, "Oh, just fix anything. Change any sentence you'd like." Then you give the Next person a fresh copy. Say, "This is my essay.

Change it." By the time it goes through 10 people, like it goes through 10 writers, it's not even your song anymore. And it's gone through the experts who know what what like hits on the radio and then that's what you have is a radio hit. And I don't like radio hits for the most part at least. >> Yeah. >> So, okay, we'll just [clears throat] we'll Go to the next one. I did like the passage in between choruses that had the synths, but that's all. [clears throat] >> Drinks her coffee. [music] >> Drinks her coffee.

>> Little Jesus vibe. >> I just said that for you. [laughter] >> Trying to get under my skin. >> Little little uh money store vibe. [music] >> Does sound a little interesting now. [music] >> [music] >> I don't want to get caught. Let's do this. >> That's crazy. >> I haven't even heard the song yet. [music] >> [music] >> Why can't we be naughty? >> We can't be naughty. We have to go get coffee instead. It's like the lamest. So lame. [music] >> Mega [ __ ] >> Mega [ __ ] bro. >> [music] >>

Why is [music] there like a constant like 808 like every >> every like step of the beat? [music] >> It just doesn't feel right. Why is there even an 808 there? >> I just hear it like vibrating. [music] >> You hear it? Like >> Yeah. >> It seems like you would want to put it Someplace else. [music] >> Not at the end of every line. >> I feel like it lasts too long. [music] [singing] >> Drinks coffee. [singing] >> Wow. sounded interesting at first to be fair. Let's go back to where we were two minutes

ago. >> It did. It does sound a little bit interesting. [music] >> And then that the intro elements duck out and then it just goes into just like a boring song. It sounds like it might have, you know, cool drums in the >> It kind of still does actually right here. [music] >> But they're kind of just overpowered by the 808s like there. [music] >> It just feels like there's no need for the like I'm picturing the song without that 808 there and it just sounds like this [music] nice like choppy jumpy vibe, you know,

like that where it's really just relying on the drums and then that booming 808 just comes in randomly and stays around for way too long. It's like, bro, that not every song needs a loud 808. It's like, dude, what is up with the 808 spam on here? >> It's kind of unnecessary. >> Not kind of. It's >> I like the without the 808, it would feel so tight. Tight and punchy. That's what >> Yeah. >> And I feel like that's what would really fit this song with these like sporadic drums that are going on. >>

You You want it to be tighter. You don't want just this 808 that's just like distracting from everything. and it just It feels like it's mistimed and it comes back at that wrong time every time. The timing of it isn't changing. There's no 808 pattern. It's just happening over and over. It's like a loop. >> It doesn't sound, >> you know, there there's definitely times where the 808 or like you know the the drum or the bass pattern is consistent for the first half of a song and then it changes in the second half. I

think JPEG Mafia [snorts] does that a lot. Um he did it on that one song with uh Red Veil. I forgot what it's like black enough. Yeah. God, I have such a good memory. They JPEG Mafia produced that song such that the first half of the song has a different 808 [clears throat] pattern than the second half. And I think that's like a really cool touch cuz it like it's something it's significant enough that it changes the entire pace. I >> thought Red Bale produced that. >> No, JPEG Mafia definitely produced it. It's too It's

too good of a It's too good of an instrumental for Red Whale to do that. Red veil is not good enough for that. >> And yet to the video. >> You want to play it? >> I'm trying to do the credits. I wouldn't be able to tell just by playing it. >> Please play it. >> Oh, okay. >> Redville produced it. Grody, >> I'm I'm I'm corrected. Okay, fine. Fine. >> That See, that's crazy memory. I know who produced a song that you referenced in the middle of a video. >> That song's really good. But

uh >> Oh, I thought Redville produced that. Yep. And who was right? Gosh, I'm good. >> I I I always thought JPEG Mafia produced it cuz it's a it's very well produced. >> Well, that happens a lot where people cater their production to an artist. That's how you That's why, you know, JPEG Mafia is authoritative. It's like, no, you're going to produce like me, but I won't produce it. You have to produce it like I would. >> I want you to do what I would do, but I'm not going to help you with it. >>

Yeah, [laughter] that was basically >> that's what he said to him. You're going to you're going to make a beat that sounds like a tight beat for me, but I'm not going to I'm not going to produce it For you. >> What was your point with that? >> It's just like more variation basically. >> Yeah. Like in the second half of the song, the drums actually change like the bass changes and um it makes it better, right? So maybe she should have done that here. reach like first half of the song certain you know bass

and the second half it Switches up or something like that but with the way the bass was in that song it's just hard to like you know >> so that 808 it's just looping and it's like distracting me the whole time it's like I can't really even focus on the drums or what she's saying I don't know why that's true for me but it just is. It's like just turn that thing down or get rid of it. It didn't need an 808. Like sometimes you just need a kick. Just keep the cake. Get rid of

the 808. >> Um, so me >> a >> So I don't know if I remember. I've definitely heard this, but I don't. [music] [music] >> This song is super popular. I don't really listen to the radio. >> I think I've heard this. to your phone, but [music] I'm trying to kiss your lips for real. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Red hearts. Reds, that's what [singing] I'm [music] feel. >> I don't know. This is actually kind of [music] this I haven't heard it a lot, so it hasn't been ruined for me. [music] >> I don't really mind it. Like,

it has like >> [music and singing] >> I don't know what that means. I can't [music] [singing] >> She sounded good on the chorus though. [music] >> Sounds good here. [music and singing] Sleep tonight. Go crazy. [singing] All you got to do is just meet me at the [music] [music] [singing] What's it up? What's it? Uh-huh. [music] Uh-huh. Hey, so now you know the game. Are you ready? Cuz I'm coming [music] And get you. Get you. Get you. Hold on. Hold on. I'm on my way. [music] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on my way.

[music] All right. All right. I'm on my way. Yeah. [music] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on my way. Don't you want me like I want you, [music] baby? [singing] Don't you need me like I need you now. Sleep tomorrow, Tonight. [music] Go crazy. All you got to do is just meet me again. >> [music] [music] >> Good [music] production here. >> Okay, this that's not bad at all. >> This song as a whole isn't is not [music] bad at all. That's pretty good. By I would literally I'd say by far the best song on the

project. She sounds comfortable. She sounds good. Uh Bruno's he was okay. Like I mean I don't know. I'm I'm not the biggest Bruno Mars fan. I think that she outperformed him to be honest, but I I just don't really even remember what his was like. His verse to be honest. I was kind of just listening to uh the instrumental and his voice. But um I like that song. I don't know. I wouldn't listen to it just because it's so overplayed. Even though even if it's not for me, it's like I just wouldn't I don't know

why. I just wouldn't like I if a song has like over a billion plays, I'm probably just off that. I I don't know why. Maybe that's just a maybe that's a stupid and like dumb thing for me to say, but I'm pretty sure uh it definitely is. But I just >> Not I mean, not really to a certain degree. Like maybe there's one or two you can get along with, but >> I don't know. I mean, I I hadn't heard this song in full. I thought that it was it was kind of it was actually

pretty interesting. Way more than the other Ones. I'd just say as a whole, this is better in every way than every other song on here. >> I would say it's the best for sure, but I was not hooked until the last part, like the last minute where the like, you know, the buzzing sense came in and that sounded like a nice touch for sure. >> I mean, you can't like you can't change, you can't add the buzzing since and like >> cuz where do you go from that? Like it Only makes sense for that to

be at the end. You can't expect that to like >> It does. But like >> that that's one of the pillars of the control channel that we really like is like you know the >> the song structure being you start slow and then it slowly builds until like a massive climax at the end. >> Um >> I mean I don't know. >> Or at least me. I don't know. I don't Want I don't want to speak for anybody else. >> It always depends for me. I mean >> that's what I discuss was about a lot

of the time. Yeah, I'd say so. That's also kind of a characteristic of rock music. Yeah. And like long and longer songs in general. >> But um and you know, I like that part of this song, right? It's like >> a buildup until a like really packed loud Um like synth fil. >> This was a play on like a what a Korean game that she played growing up. >> I think in the description I think it said something about that. Oh, >> I don't >> go to the drive-thru. >> Long ass shorts. >> Now, I

don't remember. Uh I'm pretty sure that's what it said. >> Um >> it it said something like that. And just In general, like it felt like she was actually trying something on this like the aha like it it didn't sound >> um natural. So, I liked it. Like it sounded unnatural. >> I didn't I didn't thoroughly enjoy it. >> Like it could have hit better or something like that. I don't know. But I just I just love that she tried something. The production was way more interesting on this. Uh she got the Bruno Mars feature,

which is cool, I Guess. Um the song did really well. And I'd say it's for good reason comparatively to the rest of the album. >> It did sound like a lot less formulaic than all the other songs so far. >> And it's just a testament to the fact that that's not how you do it. Like this is the most unique song we've heard so far and it's the most popular. >> Notice how that's a thing. your your song can't become like a cult classic if there's no reason for it to be like If it's already

if it exists everywhere else, you know, >> for real. >> There has to be at least one defining part of it where it's like, "Wow, this is it." >> Yeah. >> Like think of all these super popular songs. They have like that distinct baseline you can pick out or like a certain sample or whatever's going on. >> Billy Jean. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> distinct baseline >> effects. But um >> Okay, we're we're going to go to the next one. That was my favorite for sure. >> Yeah. [clears throat] [music and singing] >> Too bad for

us. It >> sounds so loud, but it [singing] be [music] soarses. [singing] [music] >> It's going to play on her name. [music and singing] And that's just [music and singing] too bad for us. Was it [music] all just [singing] light of hand? Another [music] trick that fad is [singing] wait again. [music] Two heads [singing] in the sand. I hear you talking but [music] I just Can't understand. [singing] Her [music] >> voice just sounds like AI at times. >> There's like a lot of like artifacts and like just weird stuff going on with it. I don't

know what it is. again. [music] [singing] >> I don't know how to describe it even. [music] >> All our tears turn The roses [music] here. I guess [singing] the love does what it wants [music] and that's just too bad for us. Flying high [music] with both [singing] eyes closed. Almost [music] touched the sun. I guess we got [singing] too close. >> [music] >> I mean, >> it sounds similar to the other song [singing] with the guitar, >> track two. [singing] [music] >> Was it two years? It was one of those two. [music] [singing] >> [music]

>> Where'd he go then? [music] This is this is like [music] uh >> this is like the video like the videos on uh Tik Tok where it's like when you're trying to be serious and your friend is like >> yeah that's me right looking at you >> bro why the what why the [ __ ] you laughing Bro, [music] >> turn off the wipers. Oh, man. Starting now. [music and singing] >> Is this course number four or what? [music] >> Don't worry about it, bro. want to listen. We play [singing] pretend, but we both know

it's missing. If love burns bright, it burns out in a minute. At [music] least that's why I [singing] want to talk, but we don't want to listen. We play pretend, but we [music] both know it's missing. It burns out in a minute. At least that's what I tell myself. [music] [singing] >> Stop looking at me, bro. Oh my god. [laughter] >> You're just staring at me. I can see you. My [music] peripheral vision is good. Got [music] to have like snot come shooting down my [laughter] nose, bro. [ __ ] staring at me. [music] >>

All right. Glad we got through five choruses in four minutes. Perfect. It just her voice didn't sound good at All. Like not even in It sounds wrong. It It sounds like one of those apps. What? What's that one app that was a thing in like 2015? What am I thinking of? >> No, it's like No, it's like a certain app that like >> No, it's like those apps where it's like >> oh uh like you know the the one where it's like turn any words into a rap or whatever. Like you just say stuff and

then it like turns it into a rap or What? I don't even know how to >> I don't I'm forgetting what that It sounds like you put it into like some 2015 era like computer program and it's like make me sound good. Like it sounds like outdated tuning. Like I don't know. Her voice doesn't sound right. That's all that I'll say. And it's really getting to me. I also just didn't like any other aspect of the song really because we've already heard stuff that sounded like this before and there was Like six choruses. Yes, it

goes up by one every time I talk about it. all seven of the choruses. >> I mean, when you have eight choruses on a song, it gets old, bro. >> I'm just >> I don't want to hear the same part nine times. >> Nine times. I'm just starting to think. >> Yeah. Are [clears throat] we not we are am I am I getting out of touch now? Cuz like >> this is like that felt like you were going to say something like you'd say to like your boyfriend or girlfriend. Are we just not Are we

just not right? Is the energy just not there? >> The energy just not right. That's what I'm feeling with the song cuz like >> that's what she's saying on the song too. This that's what the song's about is it it's too bad that perfect >> when the love when the love burns too bright. Not that we ever really loved It. >> Relating it to the album as much as I can. No, but um I think we're just thrown off. I mean we've the last few albums we've done what uh deaf tones as metal and then

Black Country that's alt rock. I think this album isn't actually as bad as we're making it out to be or I'm making it out to be. Sorry, not we. I'm just like it's just like uh we're not in the on the right pop streak to listen to it. You know, a lot of the times when we like a lot of the albums we listen to, it's like we we do a lot of them in a row where they're very familiar and we kind of get um used used to and familiarized with a certain style. Is

it going through my lip or something? Holy chip. >> So that we're more familiar. >> It's all over me. >> Music. But um >> you're sitting there drinking. >> Just drink the water, bro. Or Diet Coke or whatever it is. >> It's gone. >> It's gone now. Okay. Dairy Queen. No. But um I don't know. I didn't like this song at all. Like not one bit. So >> might be my least favorite. >> I can't I can't say anything good about it. So, I won't say any I won't say anything at all besides what I've

already said already. So, next one. Next one. >> Dance [music] all night. More guitar. Got out of my bed. [music] [singing] And they asked if I'm doing okay. And we talked for a while, sat for a while. And one of [music and singing] them asked me if there's anything I would change. And I didn't know what to say, [music] but I would dance all night. I care about the heartache in [music] my life. And now when I obsess over [music] all the little things I don't regret, [music] I dance all night. I dance all night.

[music] I [music] dance all night. [music] I wouldn't be [music] so in my head. Three words every chance that I get. Be spontaneous and better with trust and say things that I should have said. [music] I [singing] will let my feelings leave me. You be the one to hold me now. Maybe this time you [singing] could say [music] I would dance all night. [music] Not care about the heartache in my life. [music] Oh, [singing] and now we're not obsessed [music] over all the little things I don't regret. [music] I dance all night. I dance [singing]

all night. [music] [music] I dance all night. Dance [singing] all night. I'll be there [music] for you tomorrow. You [singing] can dry your eyes. We'll laugh away the [music] sorrow when the morning [singing] comes. Just promise me you'll stay [music] forever young. Forever [singing] young. I [music] would dance all night, not care about the heartache in my life. [music] Oh, and now we're not obsessed [music] over all the little things. [music] >> I open my eyes just to see you looking at me. What What's this C major ass song, [music] bro? It's not all sunshine

and rainbows, bro. [music] It's >> like what they play after at the end of A Disney movie [music] when they all win. [music] Zootopia 2 like a couple weeks ago. They could This could have fitted the end in that soundtrack. >> We're all celebrating. >> Was it though? >> The Snake Kingdom return. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> I was And guess what? >> I was going to watch I'm >> I'm going to spoil it right now. >> All right. Go ahead. >> I don't know if I should do that. >> How long ago did it

come out? After after a while, you can't >> I don't remember. Two weeks ago. >> You can't be held accountable for spoilers. Okay, that's that's not long enough. I'll say that right now. Um >> it's probably still in theaters. >> I don't even know. But Some guys in my >> But if you were to spoil like Silence of the Lamb, >> some guys in my lab at this point, they're like >> nobody would care. >> They were about to leave and they're like, "Bro, you want to go back home and watch Zootopia 2?" [laughter] That's

what they said. >> Zootopia, too. >> They show up to lab and and the the lab, My professor was like, "Oh, we're not doing any actual lab work today. We're just filling this stuff in." Like, "Bro, I'm just going to go. We should just go watch Zootopia, too. Take a nap." take a nap. >> Like, damn, that's so cute. But, um, what what do I have to say about what what was I saying before that? >> I don't even know. Could tell. >> Oh, yeah. It could have been at the end of Zootopia, too. And

I was going to spoil it, but I'll just leave it. >> Yeah. >> Go snakes. Snakes for the win. >> There's a deeper message. >> Facts. I got to watch Zootopia, too. >> Yeah. Now you got to watch it for just the the dichotomy of it all. the dichom dichotomy >> uh this song just like I don't know there's I feel Zero emotion when I'm listening to this it's like my soul becomes a void it becomes empty it's like it just feels like I'm existing when I listen to something like this >> yeah I did

Um, >> it's like I don't know. I don't I don't know. >> Let's Let's leave it at that. I don't think I I don't I I don't want to say >> I've already had my my uh fill of saying negative things about this album. So, I don't I'm not going to like this isn't fun for me to like, you know, go and call somebody's probably one of their favorite albums uh a bunch of >> hippie- dippy baloney. >> Yeah, like a bunch of like mean stuff. So, I'm not going to do that right now and

we'll save it for the end of end of the video. >> Well, I don't know. There were some positives, I guess, to that song [music] like >> Game Boy. This sounds interesting. >> This might sound Interesting. >> Might might sound. >> It does right now. >> It does. It sounds [music] interesting currently. >> Oh, there it goes. [music] >> It still kind of does. [music] >> I just take [music] it for granted. Now I understand it. [singing] You'll always be [music] a game boy. These days I don't want to play boy. Say say what you

want to say. You're never going to change. You'll only ever be a [music] heart break. Heart break. [music] Yeah. You only ever be a heart. Heart break. [singing] [music] You got a little too good acting like a good pie. it [music] for a minute, but it isn't made. [singing] You got a cute face. The way [music and singing] you said my name won't lie. I felt amazing, but you [music] >> this and two years are linked. The song, [music] it sounds pretty good. Heartbreak. Yeah. You want to be a game Boy. [music] Get me on

the chase boy. Say what you want to say. >> Switching up [music] before I let you [music] [music] love me forever. I should love you forever. Something just [singing] be [music] these days. I don't want to play. [music] Say [music] >> I like this chorus. >> [music] >> ever be a heart break. Heart break. [music] [music] >> You know, that might be my favorite song so far. I thought it was pretty good. [groaning] I thought she sounded really good. Probably her best. That chorus was pretty interesting. I just thought her vocals sounded really Good as

opposed to a lot of other songs. I thought this probably this might be the best song. Either this or uh AP. >> I think it was better than the last one, but and I I thought the chorus was kind of interesting. >> I liked it. I thought she hit those notes. >> Yeah. So, yeah, the chorus was was not bad at all. Especially the break break. Like that Was pretty cool. Good touch. deviate from. >> I just like how she hit the the I always like game boy. >> Yeah. But um yeah, not not bad.

Not not a bad song. >> I thought it was a good song. Sue me. >> Sue me. No one's going to sue you for that. >> You might. >> Promise you. No, I'm good. >> Not worth the resources. toxic till the end. >> What is this? [music] >> Sounds like a till. Till has two L's. >> Yeah, nothing. >> Oh, cuz till is shortening until which has one L. It can be either way. It [music] actually can. [singing] >> People abbreviate like this all the time. [music] >> [music] >> Now this sounds like Taylor Swift

a little [singing] >> in terms of production [music] >> and in her like Kadis and voice and everything. Yeah, true. Very true. [music] [singing] [music] >> We guess Jack Antonov produced this present magic. All right. Bad day for Him. [music] >> OG Volta. No. >> OG Volta. No. [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] >> This just sounds so tailored. >> Why are you trying to dance? >> [music and singing] >> cuz I can. I have free will and a voice Box. >> A [music] lack of care for your opinion. [music] >> It almost sounds like she's

like emulating Taylor Swift, too. >> [music] >> Oh, no. >> No way. >> No way. >> Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. >> How did that happen? >> I don't know. I I hit play on it. I don't know. >> Oh my word. >> Must have gotten hit on shuffle at some point. Why are we on shuffle? Well, there's no reason to take it off it now. >> We were on shuffle. >> We know. >> What song have we not listened to? >> I guess it's it's only thrown off by order a

little bit because we got number One girl 3:00 a.m. We did two years and then we did Drinks Her Coffee, AP Game Boy, and now Talk to Till the End. So, it's only thrown off by one. >> Dude, we've listened to Too Bad for Us, Dance All Night. >> No way. >> Yes. >> Are you serious? >> Yeah. We Oh my gosh. This what happens this one. You're You're in charge. >> I could have sworn I put it on play. Apparently not. >> Doesn't mean you got to look though. >> Apparently not. >> Checked. >>

Wow. >> All right. Well, I I suppose we'll just keep going. >> We [music and singing] took it off shuffle now. So now we lost our spot. Now I don't even know what's left. >> Yeah. Now it's just >> We'll just go [music] off the songs we've already listened to. >> Yeah. But we don't even remember that. >> Bro, just think. >> You didn't even know we listened to the last two. [music] [music] [singing] >> [music] >> Um, somewhat interesting production. Kind of sounded like the Taylor Swift song is what I'll say about this one.

>> Yeah. >> Can't believe we were on shuffle. It just sounded like a bass baseline Taylor song. Like down to the core. So, what if we Oh, brother. >> Yeah. So, okay, before before we say anything about it, >> stay a little longer. Have we heard this? I think we [music] have. >> No. No. Definitely not. Definitely not. >> Okay. And it's still on [ __ ] shuffle. Not the same. >> Haven't heard that. And call at the end. I don't think we've heard. [music] >> No. Okay. >> So, we've we haven't heard three of

them. Wait, wait, wait. We've heard this. [music] Yes, this dude's always on shuffle, bro. Shuffling [ __ ] all [music] >> Yeah, we've heard that. >> We've heard We've heard two years, Right? >> Yeah, of course. [music] >> That's the Hallsy one. >> What? What were you trying to take it for? >> Just to do it. >> To look at look at the track list. Yeah. So, in summary, in case you guys haven't >> It felt so right, though. Like I remember AP was six and it felt like we listened to it at 6 and

it felt like we listened to Game Boy right after. >> Yeah. >> Wait, how is this possible? >> I don't know. So, in summary, what uh if you guys haven't caught on what happened yet, the album was on shuffle. I I probably accidentally put on shuffle. That's my bad. I I should be held accountable for the for the listening order. >> I'm going to have to like put a note or something. We're gonna have to we'll we'll film something after this and say It was out of order. >> Yeah, >> but that's my bad. Um,

so we listened to Number One Girl at 3:00 a.m. 2 years and then we listened to Okay, we we listened to Number One Girl 3:00 a.m. 2 years toxic till the end, Drinks Her Coffee, APT, Game Boy, um, Too Bad for Us, and Dance All Night. I don't think we've listened to Stay a Little Longer, Not the Same, or Call at the End, which are all in a Row, funny enough. >> Like, it just felt like we were on track. >> I remember listening to Drinks or Coffee. Like, it felt like track five. It felt

like we listened to 3:00 a.m. right after. Like, >> what? When did it when could have It must have been on here. >> Oh, yeah. It probably was cuz How the [ __ ] would this thing's being messed messed with too? >> Did you click on this? >> No, I was on um I was on the map. >> How did it get put on shuffle then? But >> how did it do that? >> What the heck? But um >> I don't know. >> Yeah. Uh going that's so despicable. At least on this album, I I

think even people who enjoy this album will just admit that it doesn't >> It's not even a bad thing to admit. It Doesn't really matter what order. I feel like >> Yeah. Like the fact that we didn't even notice it kind of I mean there was no transitions and there was no like real telling points of where we were. I don't know. I felt like we were listening to an over. Felt right. >> What's What did we What did we just listen to? >> You don't even know what we listen to. >> Well, just tell

me. >> Just guess. >> Oh my god. You're going to make me do this [ __ ] bro. You know I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. >> We just listened to um Toxic Till the End. >> Okay. talked till the end. [music] [singing] >> It sounds like a Taylor song. >> Yeah. Okay. Sounds like a I remember that song in it entire song. And that's That's basically all I have to say about it. >> Yeah. >> Oh, I It's just I can see the comments now. It's like, wow, they didn't even care enough

to listen in order. They're so disrespectful. >> It's like we didn't mean to do this. It's not our fault. I mean, it might be, but doesn't matter. You shouldn't blame us. I might have to do like timestamps for this video manually. Like sorry we Listened to it out of order. Oh man. I say we just trek along. >> Yeah. >> We have a few songs that >> stay a little longer. Not the same and then call it the end. [music] [ __ ] shuffle. Maybe you just remove that option. [ __ ] >> I don't

know what that is. >> It doesn't matter. [music] >> Stay a little longer. >> [music] >> These three are all in a [music] row, too. The only three we ever heard. [music] [singing] Leave me in silence. What if [singing] I tangled [music] your feet into the ocean? [singing and music] Cuz I'm into stay [singing] [music] away when I'm here. [music] I'm fragile. I'm speechless. Don't leave me [music and singing] in pieces. Already having enough trouble breathing. [singing] Please won't [music] stay stay a little longer. Walk [singing] a little [music] closer so I can [music and

[music] I'll [music] be okay. [music] I'm fragile. >> [music and singing] >> Don't leave me empty. Already having enough trouble [music] breathing. Please won't say stay a little longer. [music] [music] I've been liking this one. >> [music] >> Little short solo, too. Bonus points. [music] >> Take a [singing] little longer to back up your [music] Hat [music] or

Please [music] won't you stay a little longer [music] I'll be okay you say it's written all in [music and singing] my face I'm fragile Me already [music] having trouble breathing Won't you stay [music] stay a little longer? >> That one might be my favorite now. >> Yeah, it it wasn't uh wasn't bad. Um, >> I thought her vocals sounded pretty good actually. You could hear some emotion in them. >> I thought the instrumental was pretty great, too. So, >> yeah, >> this is a solid song. I think this is probably the

best one to me that we've heard so far. >> Um, I I like uh >> but I'm trying to remember which one now that we're all out of order. It's like which one was the other one that I really liked? Wasn't that one? What? No. Which one was it? Was it Game Boy? >> Yep. [music] >> I think it was. >> Yeah, I think so. >> There was Game Boy and there was a AP. >> Those are all in a row. APT, Game Boy, and Stay a Little Longer. Those are all pretty good songs. Yeah,

those are probably my three Favorite all in the line. Um, I don't know. That one just sounded good. It sounded personal. You could hear emotion in her voice. Um, yeah, I think it was a pretty good song. I liked it. It felt moving. It felt powerful. I think I heard her like voice crack a little at one point. It's kind of cool. Um, so yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, I don't I don't know. >> Her voice just sounds really like tiny. It sounds like has like a silver effect. It's like over over excited like hits

a weird frequency in my ears or I'm like this sounds like high like a certain pitch that's not sitting well with me at times. But >> I thought it was fine. It's just like I don't really um >> that one was pretty. >> I don't I don't see how it deviates from The pop formula we've been criticizing on the other songs. >> It does though. I mean, it has like a solo. It has a guitar that dips in and out. It has different It has different aspects that dip in and out, and her voice sounds

just more prominent and human on it. So, that's what I liked about it. I mean, I don't know. I think it sets itself apart pretty well, especially from the other tracks on the track list here. So, um, la last couple Here for us to listen to. [music] >> Not the same. [singing] Sounds so sporadic already. [music] [singing] [music] >> Hella auto tune. [music] [singing] >> How do I hit my activity goal sitting in a car, bro? [music] >> So, I'm making sure I'm holding it all in. [music] [singing] >> I'm just mad at his own

shuffle to be [music] honest. >> We'll clear it up. It's fine. [singing] [music] I don't know who you think you're [music] not the same. Not the up. Drop [music] your keys. [singing] See, now that I I mentioned the voice crack on the last song, now she's cracking on like every line. This is a Bit much. [music] >> This is too much. [music] >> I don't like this song really. I couldn't tell you [music] what aspect of the song I do like, dude. >> They all sound like they're clashing. It's like hurting my head. >> Is

that just [music] me? >> Yeah. >> She feels like out of time, like out of sync with stuff. [music] >> I don't even know what's going on and [ __ ] She's like out of sync with the guitar and it's like [music] [music] >> the guitar feels too fast and [music] like just crazy. >> I don't know. [music] [singing] figure. [music] We had only good time, [music] but some just change overnight. [singing] [music] [singing] >> Flame grilling. Oh yeah, that is what it is. >> Are they making something? [music] >> There's no cusp. I sure

hope so, bro. [singing] >> There's no food establishment. There's no [music] cusp. Dude, just get it over with. >> Can you talk some more? Drown it out. >> I really don't like this song. [music] >> La, >> I don't like it. >> Are we done yet? >> Oh, cool. Little tape stop made up for the whole thing. That was so wild, bro. All right, that was just swag. No way. I didn't like it. I just didn't like I think I already expressed all my concerns during the song to try and >> mask the song. >>

That's just my not good. It's just >> not the same over like this guitar. It's like >> the thing is if you if you >> like [laughter] nails on chalkboard, bro, like I'm not even exaggerating that much. Like it actually like I didn't like it. It sounded like it had like an unsettling feeling to it. Like her voice was cracking and this guitar was going crazy. It felt like it was way too fast. >> Yeah. >> Oh man. >> Like it made me nauseous, bro. >> Yeah. It's like >> that's what >> I was getting

car sick and we're not even moving. >> The thing is if you I was just thinking about this. If you were to remove >> if if you weren't to tell us this was uh Ros. This album wasn't called Rosie and it wasn't from You see that? Yo, look. >> He was like waving to us. He was like, "Oh, okay." He was talking to this car. Never mind. Never mind. >> He was telling him to go [clears throat] through the drive-thru. Okay, I get it now. But um >> I thought he was telling us to leave

for a second. I was like, "What the hell?" But uh [laughter] >> Oh, man. If you if you didn't have Rosé, like the Artist's name attached to it, and you didn't have the idea that this came from, you know, a K-pop star from Blackpink, and you just play this album for us without us knowing who it came from. Um, I feel like I couldn't like tell you anything about who the artist is or where they came from or or really what influences they have outside of like >> just radio cliche pop music. It's like >>

because we're listening to it and we know it's from a K-pop star, you know, we could normally we we'd look at the album and we'd say, "Okay, this is we see influences from Blackpink's music coming or we see like this is similar to what Lisa did or what what uh what Jenny did and and we make comparisons." But the thing is it doesn't matter that we know it's from Rosé. It it's there's no comparisons to be made. There's no like unique influences or um cool comparisons To to talk about. There's like nothing there's nothing to

talk about. And that's the most upsetting part. It's like this sound this is the most nothing album I think we've heard so far. It's like even more than the Cities of Eve one. >> Well, it's just funny because in the description it's like she says that now she solo she can tell you more about herself as a person. Like there's not a single even like metaphor on here. Nothing about this is intricate or telling about her. She's not talking about a single experience. She hasn't even referenced like >> what like a a family member or

a friend. Like she hasn't referenced anything. Like she hasn't named anything. There's not a single noun like there's no person, place, or thing in the whole project. It's like, "Oh, you packed your bag. Stay a while." >> Has she has she like said the name of a Like the setting of a song like, "Oh, wait. This is in Paris." like like Lisa did on >> said >> Lisa was talking about what is she saying >> my uh you know the French dude in Paris I I don't know was that a different artist I forget I

think that was Lisa on the alter ego album where she was talking about like um oh like kiss me under the >> she says promise till your face turns purple that's like the most uh >> crazy songwriting thing you see and like it doesn't even really make that much sense. It's like I mean promise till you're purple in the face like I don't know. Are we really getting purple over promises? >> Doesn't that normally happen during like arguments and such? >> I think >> I think that's usually how that's used, right? >> Yeah. Or maybe

your face goes red. I don't know about purple though. Purple would be like if you're being choked. >> That's kind of what I was thinking. >> Yeah. But why would you be being choked while you're making promises? Whatever. But uh it's like like I was saying on the Lisa album she referenced you know Paris. I'm pretty sure here She hasn't said anything about Korea or >> the the craziest metaphor she has is like game boy like just the concept of that song as a whole. >> It's like even on like drinks or coffee like okay

it's about drinks or coffee. It's like oh we we won't know this [clears throat] like we're not going to do this. We should go get drinks or coffee. And that's it. That's the whole song. It's like, dude, what are we doing? What are we talking about? This Tells me more about you. Yeah. [ __ ] Sure. I don't know. >> Okay. So, next one. >> Call it Call it the end. >> And I guess the second to last. >> The end. No, the last one cuz it is the last. >> Wait, what about Too Bad

for Us? >> Click on it. We've heard it. [music and singing] >> Oh. Come on, bro. This dude's not even Trying to remember anything. >> Call it the end. This is the last one. >> Call it the end. Hey, fitting. Call it the end. We're calling it the end on our own terms. >> We meant to do this on our own terms. [music] [singing] [singing] [music] >> Okay. [music] So baby, [singing] let me know. Do I Call you my ex? Do I call you my boyfriend? [music] [singing] Do I call you friend? [music] [laughter] >>

I don't know why shouldn't even be laughing during this. We were a moment. [music] You were my only [singing] true fallac. [music and singing] [music] Do I call you my ex? Do I call you my Boyfriend? [music] Call you a lover. Do [singing] I call you a friend? Call you the one or the one that got away. I just have to forget. [music] [music] >> So touching it. People are going to hate us, bro. >> Oh, she's kind of hitting this right here, though. To be fair, >> TBF [music] generic >> generic choir sample, bro.

Little quip. >> Yeah, probably. >> How is Wait, call it the end. Let's just listen to the first like five seconds of every song. [music] >> We for sure heard that. >> No. No. >> It's a one. We definitely heard this one. >> Yeah. [music] >> Yeah. >> Yeah. feel longer. [music and singing] >> This one where the birds talk to her. [music] [singing] >> That's the >> That's the outro. >> That's the detail you noticed. >> That's all I remember. >> Yeah. Wow. >> Cuz I was thinking like more than me. >> I was

thinking, "Wow, she could have done a play on on words or something, but she's like two two birds came up and they said this." Like there was no I don't know. Um, it's just not good at all. I I don't know. I wanted to give it a chance pretty bad actually, but like as it went on, I just I got the idea. And this is actually worse than I expected by a decent Amount. Like I went into it thinking I'd at least get some like decent like a couple bangers maybe. There's like no no bangers

and I know bangers. I mean >> the best songs are AP AP Game Boy and Stay a Little Longer and none of those are really even that great. They're not even really >> they're like hardly good. >> There's like one or two of them that are Even I'd consider good. Um, it's like I mean this this album is definitively worse than Alter Ego and Ruby. Definitively. It's not even really I it's not even particularly close. Like I don't know, man. It's just not good. Yeah. So, um I'd say the only one that comes close to

being good is AP. Um >> that's like >> almost like securely like with a pretty wide margin, the best song on this album because like the chorus is fine. Like most of the song is fine up until the end where it actually gets like pretty creative and good with the, you know, buzzing synths that come in uh and the just rising noise of the song in general. Like I think that's cool, but uh there is No other point in this album where I would call it even mediocre. >> Oh wow. >> Oh wow. Do we

listen to the same album? I mean like >> I don't >> No, there was so many mediocre parts, bro. Give it some credit. >> It's like um >> there's a lot of mediocre. >> Dude, I >> I don't think we could. >> I don't think I I don't think I've felt less listening to an album. >> Yeah. I don't think we could find a more generic, cliche, >> soulless. >> Wait. Oh, >> seasonless. >> See her label? It says it's a Palanteer. >> Her label is >> she It says under >> I wouldn't even be

surprised. >> It says the rights reserved copyright by Open AI. >> Open AI. [laughter] >> Are are we serious? Chat GPT wrote this album. >> That's crazy. >> You know, if you told me that, >> I wouldn't even be surprised cuz like >> the only one that had character to it was the AP. >> Yeah. I mean, like, even then, I I don't Even really like Bruno Mars that much. Um, cuz he's just such a clean insert to any pop song. It's like, and the chorus, I mean, I already talked about the song, but the

the other songs in this album, I couldn't tell you one thing that I even liked about any of them. And does it sound like I'm hating? I'm not. I'm trying not to hate right now. I'm trying to just be fair. No, you are trying to hate. That's the whole point. Like you you don't like it. >> You're allowed to not like it. >> Yeah. But like I'm not trying to tell you guys this this album is garbage and you're an idiot for liking it. It's the worst thing you ever like It's not the worst thing

we've ever heard, but like >> it's >> Wow. glowing. >> Review. >> It's just like annoyingly generic and cliche and formulaic. None of the songs stand out to me. Can't Believe OG to produce on this, bro. OG, >> come on. >> This is like significantly worse than the other two >> K-pop solo albums. >> Can't believe, bro. Cardi was just linked with OG Bolt. >> Significantly worse. Like at least on the Lisa one, you know, we had uh ATL Jacob. ATL Jacob. ATL. >> Makes us sound like idiots that like the only song that we

liked. >> ATL Jacob. >> It sounds so stupid. Imagine that being the reason you like a song on an album, >> bro. It had HL Jacob on it. >> There was the Ruby um God uh Handlebars. Handle Bars play. Yep. So, that was pretty good. Uh >> see, and then a week from now, the only song I'll be able to tell you about is AP and it's just because it was I've I've heard of it before. Like I It's not because of I learned of it from this Album. >> Yeah. >> Game Boy maybe. like

that one kind of >> it's it's not like this album has awfully produced instrumentals or >> some of them are pretty awfully produced >> or horribly sung vocals. It's just >> some of them are horribly >> s there's a good bit of horrible production and a good bit of horrible vocals. Um and then some of them some of The time they're combined together and it makes just a complete [ __ ] show. like um [ __ ] Which one [music] >> here, bro? >> Sounds like >> turn the wipers all the way, bro. >> Sounds

wrong. >> Blur blur the sound. >> Why would you ever turn them on? We're not even moving. >> Just don't move. >> So [ __ ] scared. >> Squid. The squid game. Squid game picture. Did he say that in the show? >> I can't remember. >> I don't know. >> He probably did. That's why it's that's why his the >> um Indian guy from Squid Games Picture went with [clears throat] the with the >> um >> line. But um >> just about the album as a whole. First, we didn't listen in order. So, big apologies

for that. You can call it whatever you want, but like we didn't mean to do that. Uh and we'll we'll put a notice at the beginning of the video, so you can't complain uh now. But um >> yeah, so >> it's just the the it just sounds really uninspired and like she just didn't really even try and step out of the box [snorts] like >> Yeah. I mean, >> and even the times where you I guess you could kind of consider it stepping out of the box. It's like stepping out of the box because it

just doesn't the the aspects of the song clash so bad that it's making me think it's outside the box when I think it's just absolutely horrible execution. like just with some of these instrumentals Like just these booming 808s come in over like a nice sweet little guitar acoustic guitar and she's singing and like it's like these tight drums and it's just like it's like I'm listening to it like a a b a convoy of like tractors driving past me. Uh and then just like weird pacing sometimes. I don't know. Just a lot of weird, a

lot of not good, a lot of things I'm disappointed with. >> Well, yeah. I mean, to sum it up, this album is just annoyingly generic and cliche, and I feel like I can't get along with any of the songs here because it just sounds like something I've heard a million times, right? Um, at a certain point you kind of have to realize as an artist that just doing the normal thing, the thing that has been done in mainstream pop for like the last 20 years isn't the best Idea. Like maybe to like get streams or

get album sales, but if if you make an album like this, we're never going to we're never going to like it. You know, it's not that uh the execution was consistently awful or anything like that. It's just the idea. >> It definitely was. >> Well, not on like every single song, but just the idea of doing the the concept of doing an album like This where we're trying to consistently reproduce every like norm and pop music for a long time is like the the completely wrong approach to an album. So, that'll be And yeah, we

did listen out of order. That's my fault. So, if you guys are looking if you guys are in the comments looking for someone to blame, you know, don't blame him, blame me, cuz I should have I should have put it on play. >> It's whatever. >> So, >> it didn't I don't think it really mattered for this album. I know a ton of people are probably going to be mad, but I just >> I don't really see how it would matter all that much. >> Yeah. >> Someone Someone will probably do some timestamps. I'm going

to We'll put something in the beginning of the video, a little warning for you guys, but I Don't really have much else to say. I say we just >> rate this thing and get out of here cuz I I'm done. being negative. Like I still had a good time listening to it. Like I actually did. Um whether that be to the detriment of the music or not. Like I don't know. I had a good time. That's all I can ask for during these these reviews. I always hope that I can get some good music out

of it and that just wasn't the case today. Not really mad And I'd still give her another chance on a different day because I mean you just never know. Every project is different. Every era of an artist is different hopefully. So >> yeah. >> Uh what what are you feeling? I'm thinking like light uh very like probably light to decent two. >> Oh man, I was thinking like one. >> I mean I think of ones and I'm like what do we give? Well, I think we gave like Morgan Wallen like a light two and it's

like this is on par with that probably. >> I don't know. >> Except just significantly less bloated and horrible experience. >> I mean this is >> Morgan Wallen wasn't even fun. Like we couldn't even barely get through that, bro. >> [snorts] >> Yeah, but this is like the >> This is not as bad. This is like on par Or maybe even slightly better than the Morgan wall. >> The Morgan Wallen >> Morgan Wall was some dog [ __ ] >> That Morgan Wallen one >> [ __ ] dick dick blood album, bro. >> I don't

know. I don't even know what to think right now cuz >> sales merger. >> I don't know what we gave >> streaming numbers merger. the Morgan Wallen album. But whatever it was, this Has to be the same as that because both of them are like Well, I don't know actually cuz >> this is better than Morgan Wallen's album, bro. Come on. >> I don't know though. >> Don't Josh. >> I don't know though. Come on, bro. >> Dude, that album was Was it 36 songs? It was just the quality of this times three with bloat.

Like it had the same number Of good songs as this one. Some of the some of the Morgan Wallen songs were like not they they were like kind of kind of trash, but they weren't that bad, you know? They weren't like >> they were pretty bad. >> Oh my god, I'm going to puke off. >> They were pretty bad. >> There were some songs in this where I'm like I'm literally nauseous. Like I'm about to I'm about to vomit. >> That's fair. Actually, I'd say it's it's Basically >> I'll go like a mid to strong

one. Yeah, we'll do that. >> Wow. [clears throat] Getting rid of liberal with that one. >> Really giving giving some leeway. >> Mid to strong one. Yeah, that sounds right to me. >> Yeah, I don't know. I'd say this is on par either slightly better or slightly worse than the Morgan. I mean, okay, I think I'm there because you make a good Point. >> Yeah. >> Uh so yeah, I didn't really enjoy this. As of right now, uh Jenny and Lisa have a a very strong advantage over their Blackpink counterpart in Rosé. So yeah, that's

just our opinion. If you enjoy this album, I'm glad that you enjoy it as I am with anything else. Like there's no reason for us. We're no like we're not going to hate on anyone who listens to It. Even if it comes off that way, it's like it really doesn't matter. Like you you can clown on someone all you want who's like enjoying their music, but it's just that like they're enjoying the music. So it's like who cares? Like if someone's people get caught up in all these like societal madeup factors like oh well I

bet I have more money than them or like I bet I have a like I bet my my girlfriend's hotter or something like that. Like just all these like Stupid tangible things and [snorts] then this dude will be like happy as hell listening to Dax in his car and it's like who's the real winner though? >> Who's the real winner now? >> Like you're he's happier than you. What's the point of like life if not it's to feel fulfilled and happy. >> If you feel fulfilled and happy listening to Dax in the car bumping it

with the windows down >> I can tell by what you're saying [laughter] >> and I'll be yelling out gang gang. >> Is you gang? >> Oh wait, >> some some dude you some dude will be listening to Cameron Wy in his car perfectly happy. >> Yeah loser. >> Some loser. [laughter] See, I think he's a loser. So, I can just >> Some loser will be perfectly happy listening to Geese and bumping that Garbage music. >> See, and they're just an idiot. But I'm not mad that they're >> They're just an idiot. Yeah. But uh yeah,

if you like this album and you don't want to hear about why somebody else doesn't uh like this album, then click off this video. Or I guess forget that you watch this video cuz you've you've already watched the whole thing. >> Hour and 45 minutes. >> You've already watched the whole thing. >> Now is the time to click off. Now is the time to click off >> before we give our real review. >> But just just don't listen to us. Or maybe do, but like disregard like don't take our opinion so seriously because if you

like it, who's to tell you that you can't like it? Who's to shut down your your your taste? So >> yeah. >> Um yeah, that's it. Uh yeah, thanks for Watching.

I'm very curious to see because I don't can't really pick anything out that I feel would make someone like it because I don't really I'm not really capturing a persona from her. I don't think that the songwriting is that great. I don't even think that she sounds that great and I think the production is pretty bad and a lot of it clashes. Um so I don't know that I have much good to say at all

about this and Um yeah, I don't know. But that's not to say that other people can't. So, I just want to know what it is that um is really enjoyable about this. So, that's all though. Um like and subscribe. Much love to all of you. Peace out.
