AJR - Neotheater - Album Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- For my 1120th review, AJR tones their sound from excruciating to just terrible in their pursuit of empty melodrama, gutless spectacle, and an overprivileged status quo.
Best Songs: 'Turning Out Pt. ii', 'Don't Throw Out My Legos' (maybe)
Worst Song: 'Break My Face', 'Beats', 'Birthday Party', 'The Entertainment's Here'
2/10

AJR - Neotheater - "Indie" Pop - Album Review
#SpectrumPulse #AJR #Neotheater
Seeing all the hate in these comments from the AJR fans is so confusing... his score for this was DOUBLE the one he gave the last one!
I love this comment XD
wait but where's the hate
Spectrum Pulse 10/10's:
Various Artists - Southern Family
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
Dessa - Chime
AJR - Neotheater
Lol
You forgot Breaking Benjamin - Ember
Don't forget Sam Hunt
David Sam Hunt only got an 8/10. He said Ex to See was his favorite song of the year and singlehandedly elevated the album, but that he wished more of the album would have played in that same vein (as well as being pissed at Sam Hunt for not releasing that song as a single). That’s why he appreciated Drinkin Too Much and Body Like a Back Road so much more than any of the singles off of Montevallo.
Also AJR -The Click
Spoiler Alert: It turns out ARTV's review is more negative than Mark's review of this album, just slightly.
Damn Mark. I knew you said that they had improved, but a 10/10? Wasn’t expecting that.
Infinity war endgame is the most anticipated event of the year.
Mark: hold my beer
Richard Batchelor - Composer don't you mean Endgame?
Just corrected myself :)
@@RichardBatchelorComposer No it's "Avengers Endgame" not "Infinity War Endgame".
Captain Bozas I wrote this comment around 3 in the morning, I was tired
1:31 might be the greatest sentence ever uttered.
Certainly beautiful
@@jo_nm9484 he does certainly have a way with words
"watch/10"
He knows.
Also twice as good as The Click eh? Maybe 8 albums later and they’ll get a 10 from you Mark 😂
Maybe they're getting better and hopefully they will soon be good. Eh, in my opinion, The Click was better.
Assuming the scores double with each successive AJR album, we should be expecting a legendary, culture-defining 16/10 masterpiece in about three albums’ time.
jesus lord above he liked an AJR song the world is collapsing
"This isn't the worst album I've heard this year"
That would be Juice WRLD's album wouldn't it.
That Juice WRLD album wasn't as good, considering I'm actually a fan of Juice WRLD
I agree my fellow human.
Yeah Me too Juice Wrld Is The Best
But God Bless Him 🙏 R.i.p to him
AJR win the Most Improved award for 2019.
He must be saving his profanity for Lil Dicky's next album
Indeed. This negative review has surprisingly little cursing.
Yes he is
The new Lil Dicky album will be his first 0/10. I’m betting on it!
I think he may use that rating specifically for that album.@@gabeguarin1096
I agree
A cultural event to rival Endgame for sure
Loved the positive review! Definitely gonna check out the album!
"From excruciating to just terrible"
The director for Sonic the Hedgehog when he promised to make changes to the designs
he promised that today. He never said anything about changing it before.
The designs were changed and they actually look alright
And the changes did happen. Now, it is not terrible, but it is indeed spectacular.
I love how all these reviews are bad but hey still have a huge fan base.
Yeah, mostly are just people that have never listened to real music and listen to this and think “Oh this is godly!” I am one of them. But after actually listening to good music, its just torture to my ears. Their vision is understandable, they try to paint a visual picture with sounds. But their way of doing so is just- HELL.
@@GD-zn2rm dang u don't have to act like a dick about it
@@GD-zn2rm I totally agree. I went from an AJR megafan to someone disappointed and disgusted that they are so popular in the space of 10 months.
@@GD-zn2rm eh I’ve listened to a lot of music over time and I still like AJR so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Alexander-hi8bo yessir- i grew up on a bunch of different genres and i still love AJR
I love how they have this cutesy album art as if they're trying to get their listeners not to notice the Parental Advisory sticker in the corner, but the art ends up making that sticker even more hilarious.
The art is actually pretty dry, since they wanted to make it feel "dreamy" so that's why you can barely see their mouths and their eyes look depressed as fuck but yeah they're just going for a cartoonist style
All the weird stuff in there songs is what they do. It’s their grove.
AJR, Sam Hunt and Lil Dicky should make a collaborative album together.
Who hurt you?
We can include a guest verse from Kanye defending Trump again, and a posthumous XXXTENTACION snippet where he is stealing YOUR girl
And Juice WRLD will future on this album to
ShadowCat replace Thomas Rhett with Rae Sremmurd. He’s come around on Thomas Rhett
Turning Out Part II, Jon and Mark like the same song, Woah.
Joseph Tafu
Fun fact
Jon and Mark disagree about Kamikaze
@@cameronspalding9792 Oh, I know
Joseph Tafur who do you most agree with
Is it me or is Mark always ill when filming especially negative reviews?
Ajr in my opinion are my favorite band. As an ajr fan the high pitch singing doesn’t bother me because I listen to it all the time and the odd lyrics get my attention because it so weird and never heard before and that’s why it’s so interesting.There creative music style always gets me hyped because it’s different and wild. Just want to let you know how an ajr fan feel about their music. no hate if you don’t like I totally understand
I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE IN THE COMMENTS WHO LIKES THEM. Thank you
OMG SAME.
AJR IS THE F**KING BEST!
I love ajr lol
Odd lyrics?!?
Damn the contrapoints lighting is doing good things for you.
You know it’s bad when spectrum pulse actually puts more than two songs on the “worst tracks” section
Like ARTV said about red pill blues
"More of a snooze fest than a hate fest"
Now im not a huge fan of AJR, im not even a big fan of super electronic music like this band produces. But i gave this album a listen, and i really dont think it deserves this 15 minute shit-talk. Its very clear that a lot of emotion went into this album, it is full of catchy hooks and the amount of depth put into every song is crazy. I know its all opinion, but i think there is much more credit due here :)
thank you :)
Wow I really wasn't expecting a 10/10 from AJR
I'm gonna write a song called "Don't Throw Out My Bionicles"
"Don't throw out my play mobiles)"
I literally have a closet full of boxes of Bionicles. I sure as hell will never throw them out.
Love is canon, by the way.
“Don’t downvote my reddit comment”
HERE WE GO!!!!
With The Entertainments Here I think the song is more about ignoring an existential crisis than what you had said
Yes finally someone who gets it
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT
Every time I watch one of your video's I learn a few words and idioms I had no idea existed.
ANOTHER SPECTRUM PULSE AJR REVIEW OH MAN
Also, mad props for the Portal reference.
I actually think Dear Winter is a legitimately great song. No joke.
ye
For real though, we need to convince Sam Hunt to start making music again. If there’s anyone who Mark hates as much as these guys, it’s him.
Yup
We need a AJR Sam Hunt and Lil Dicky album
Well, you got your wish. Sam Hunt is the new AJR
am I honestly the only one who likes the sound of their music, like am I the only one?
Viety we are the minority’s 😫😫
Nope, you're not the only one.
I LOVE AJR...
Absolutely love them, just want to see why people would hate them
their music is kinda bipolar. I either find the sound extremely forgettable or extremely entertaining on a song-by-song basis. I'll agree that even their better songs could do with better clarity and mixing, but a hefty chunk of them are still wonderfully visual despite that.
And to think that Mark once considered Foster the People the nadir of indie pop.
Oh boy, ever since I saw ARTV review this I'd been waiting for this video!
i agree mostly, Don’t Throw Out My Lego’s and Karma are songs that stick out mostly, like the album comes out flat but the songs that are good are REALLY good.
Yeah Me too
Definitely not
Honestly after seeing the click review I’m pretty happy with a 2/10
I respect your opinion, I really enjoyed this album honestly, it wasn't all that bad and i'm excited on what they have in store next, sure the people who dislike this band wants them to stop. But like lots of people really enjoy this band.
I’m feeling the same way about this album. None of it absolutely shocked me in the way their last album did, but I’m still not sure whether that makes the record better or worse. It’s far less interestingly bad at the very least.
This review was halarious and entertaining... but yeah I'm loving AJR's music.
Haha same
I’ve been waiting for this!!
IT’S TIME!
*grabs popcorn*
Hey, are you going to post photos for the following albums to your Instragram along with a schedule update?:
The Mountain Goats - In League With Dragons
ScHoolboy Q - CrasH Talk
Possibly for this album as well? (just to comment on the small amount of redeeming qualities)
As someone who actually really liked the album, I didn't really mind this review. It's interesting to hear someone else's point of view on the album. We all have different opinions, and I'm glad you didn't just bash them and say 'oh they suck', but instead explained why you didn't like it. Great video!
Couldnt of said it better myself
Seeing as though you have a couple of actual favorite songs here, perhaps this is gonna be at least slightly better than The Click for you?
Called it.
Did you call the 10/10 the album got?
Mike’s Music Reviews no because I watched it lmao
one day if ajr makes another album i’d love to see you, jon, luke, and crash doing a livestream listening to it and go mystery science theater on its ass
I'm confused by the whole "They made a meme out of my legacy darling" and I keep replaying Mark saying that and I still don't get it. Can someone explain that to me? I'm just genuinely confused.
I agree with a LOT of your points even as an AJR fan but god damn I don’t know if you’ll like the sound of My Play but the meaning hits hard.
I really hope they are improving with their music with this new song because the meaning of it just hurts a lot.
Dear Mr.Spectrum Pulse,
Your review was completely misunderstood. You gave no credit to them except for a few slithers. As an AJR fan I have listened to all of their albums more than once and I can proove they are great. Neotheater acually has a hidden connection to the other songs in the album and nobody has completely decided what it meant. Although you either love or hate the album, doesn''t mean you should verbally be smacking them in the face. I hope that you will be able to read this comment and the points that I have presented. My fellow AJR fans we can still listen to Neotheater no matter how much people hate it.
Beats is still the worst song of all time.
It's a fucking review? What the fuck do you expect? AJR is not a original, unique, quirky or good band, and unfortunately their albums are as shallow as a puddle.
@@luizin1801 Music is one thing in this universe that no matter how bad one person thinks it is, another will adore it the most. In a way, no music is good or bad. Its all opinion because music is one of the most subjective things. You can hate them all you want, but don't go to people who like it and state your opinions like they're sudden fact. That's why I don't like music reviews or music critics
@@theMailmansHere If you're really that sure that this band is not a piece of shit, then you wouldn't be responding to me.
Gotta be here on time
8:39-8:42 omg I love how you referenced break my face
Well, here we go again.
It’s weird hating something or loving something and wonder why the other people think that way
I’m shocked it got a 10/10, you hated The Click, I didn’t expect this to go any better
*Not AJR again!*
Oh boy...
Which do you prefer? The AJR album or the Juice WRLD album?
Scores so far (excluding Resonators):
10/10: 0
9/10: 5 (SUNDAYS, Saor, Epic Beard Men....)
8/10: 13
7/10: 19
6/10: 13
5/10: 5
4/10: 5
3/10: 0
2/10: 2 (Juice WRLD, AJR)
1/10: 0
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
He said this is not the worst album he talked about this year and since the juice wrld album is the only other one this year with a 2/10
Also this got a strong 2 and juice wrld a light 2
So he must prefer AJR
Yeah he prefers AJR
Here we go again :))
I like AJR and so far, I'm LOVING the review, yeah negative and whatever but his way of expression is just 🔥
Lemme get my popcorn
Great job, Mark. You have a way with words. This review is like poetry.
Okay so I've been reading the comments and why are people so butthurt over the fact that fans try to defend the band 😂
We like it, we don't tell you to like it.
People criticizing the review might argue they think the arguments aren't valid. I personally don't like it when people say stuff like: "How could anyone be so dumb to like this?" or "I'd like to see you defend yourself, I don't think you can" because it makes fans feel guilty or stupid for liking the album when honestly, it doesn't hurt you.
I don't hate the review just because he doesn't like the album. I don't really like the review but I'm not going to hate on this guy because he dislikes AJR.
There's been one or two comments of someone telling him he should kill himself, which I think goes way too far, but other than that it's just people reviewing the review.
Calm down. Both sides. Some people don't like them, other people do.
@Cinema Crap yeah when clearly the album is directed towards people moving on to be adults, meaning millennials at this point, and that some people won't be able to relate and people have different opinions on what lyrics are good and what aren't, for example, billie eilish, people say her music is for depressed 14 year Olds, and a huge amount of people can relate to her music, same thing for ajr but since it's a smaller band everyone has to say that they're music is a waste of time when they are making a difference even in the slightest, I have a point of view where the album is not about dumbing down words and trying to tell the person that they're wrongs are alright and that they shouldn't fix it, and a point that isn't Pointed out in any review that also clearly changes the view of where the album is coming from is that the music that is being produced is not a song that they think people will like, cause it's not, it's ajrs personal experiences in life and, they honestly couldn't care more if people don't like their music because theyre selling out shows and being successful while critics like this guy do nothing but bash albums, no hate to this guy, everyone has their opinion🤷♂️
@The Animation Crapper I hate those people because they paint the entire fanbase as a bunch of whiney kids who think everyone who doesn’t agree with them is a dumb hater. I can say from experience that most fans are perfectly normal people who are passionate about a group they like. Sadly, most people never get to see that side of us
I expect you to be less angry with this album tbh. I mean after The Click there's no way to go for AJR but up.
Really? I think that Neotheater is worse than The Click
@@luriv37 I personally LOVE AJR, and I thought that Neotheater was better than The Click.
Please don't hate.
Eighteen minutes of Mark losing his mind, oh boy.
thelucturgeon Nice More profile pic
Thanks!
I see ajr on mark's channel, I click.
I didn’t listen to the album.. but I agree
So what you’re saying is..you didn’t form your own opinion.
Can someone explain to me wth the bridge is saying in birthday party?

I Enjoy The Album, So I Disagree With Your Opinion, But Respect It Non The Less
Yeah I agree as well, also wag1
Yeah listen to billie eilish
You know about the new Marina album right?
This is such a strange band for me. Spoiler alert, I'm not a fan, but their particular brand of lyricism is, not fantastic to me, but it's often fairly distinctive. And the vocals are the forefront of their mixes so well, they are not hidden in the mix, but for the life of me I can't remember how a single one of their songs goes. I can't even remember the vibe of any of their songs. And that's strange, I've certainly listened to enough of their songs multiple times.
They just strike me as an incredibly unambitious band. For some reason, my brain wants to say that this album is a bit redundant with the Toro Y Moi album that came out this year. I'm not sure how much that makes sense, but I sure felt the compulsion to be reabsorbed into music with some atmosphere and care in its mix.
Yeah its strange for me too. I listen to the album and I say to myself how the hell does this trash have so many fans?
The entertainments here is the best song dont @ me
It’s not that great, but I do like some of the sound-blending, even if it’s a bit tasteless at times.
And, given loads of songs just celebrate partying, The Entertainment’s Here does at least touch on the concept of bread and circuses, of only in its own goofy way.
Keep up the good reviews, Mark!
I'll be real AJR fans in the comments of these reviews just give me the vibe of people who only order bean burritos at Mexican restaurants. No desire to experience any variety, no desire to experiment, to actually be challenged or have experience with something unique or interesting -- just goes with the blandest, most inoffensive choice possible.
I feel bad for em.
Honestly I listened to The Click and it isn't as bad as this album, considering that isn't surprising because all music since September 2017 has been significantly worse than before September 2017. Everybody's albums since then have been way worse than their albums before that.
So basically it's better than The Click but still horrendous. Well, baby steps I guess.
Wait are you Batman or the joker?
Does anyone notice that for 3 of his 5 2/10 reviews, he has worn that Raptors shirt?? Must be special for negative reviews!!
Ah shit... here we go again.
Honestly, i thought that this was worse than the click. While the click was embarrassingly bad, it is at least interesting in a “what the fuck am i listening to?!” Kind of way. It has more punch, more groove, it’s catchier and has a few more decent songs. Yes, the spokestep is gone here, but it honestly makes the album more boring and draining to sit through. There’s no groove, no punch, it all sounds flat and mechanical, jack sounds even more bored than he was on the click, and the lyrics try to go for a sentimental feel, but just feel juvenile, immature, and detached from reality(*cough birthday party cough*). I will say Turning Out part ii is the most tolerable song in the album, but only just tolerable.
And seriously, why is jack taking control of the vocals for the majority of this album like he did last time?! At least in Living Rooms, there was a chance for all 3 brothers (Including Adam met), to show off their vocals. And I’m just going to say it, Living rooms is their best album. It’s not perfect, it has a song called “thirsty” which is an embarrassment to the indie pop scene, but they weren’t as grating and they even showed off some potential, especially with the song “Pitchfork Kids”.
Really, neotheater just pisses me off in so many ways that I wanted to die after listening to it. None of the songs will ever match “I’m not famous” in terms of dick-shredding terribleness, but it doesn’t mean much. Still, I wasn’t disappointed in the review. I honestly didn’t think you were going to review this, or even give it higher than a 1, but still, I’m satisfied. Still, Regardless of any bashing you or Jon have done, this album managed to reach #1 of the alternative charts on iTunes (#3 as of now), which means we might hear more “indie”-pop migraine inducing melodies from these guys....Ugh.
:(
RavenVerse ...sorry if I’m bashing an album you like.
I..if it’s so bad and causes you pain to listen to it, why listen to it?
Was that an evil dead reference mark?
Great review, but asking "What was the point of the camps if they missed these three?" was way over the line.
This isn't theneedledrop dude.
This is something I've noticed with music reviews in general. They're often much more concerned with what a song has to say than how it sounds. This can lead to horrible auditory experiences getting high praise, while very competent and highly visual tracks get inordinately panned.
I do appreciate where it's coming from, though. It's hard to communicate how something sounds and why that sound works or doesn't, outside of extremely broad terms. More specific analysis requires a more in-depth formal understanding of music to make than I'd wager most internet reviewers have, and certainly requires a more in-depth formal understanding of music to understand than the vast majority of their audience has. So if you're stuck using vague terms, and you're reviewing a huge number songs... that discussion is going to get extremely repetitive to make and to listen to. Plus music is media with some of the lowest barriers to entry of any art form, being easy to listen to for no cost and only requiring you to spend a few minutes to do it. If you want to know how a song sounds, you can just listen to it. It makes sense that reviews would spend their time analyzing things that actually require some level of analysis, and the analysis of which can be clearly communicated to a general audience.
I get it.
But that focus creates a more notable disconnect between what's important for reviewers and what's important for everyone else than most other types of media out there. I guess that's part of why even the most popular music critics are barely as noticed as mid-tier critics of TV, games, and movies.
Neotheater by AJR: 1/10
Best song(s):wow I’m not crazy
Worst songs:beats birthday party
Me watching him tear apart my favorite album of all time 🤧😪
This is your favorite? Are you alright?
@@luizin1801it’s really experimental, and some people like it, some people hate it, some people love it, some people despise it.
Still not as bad as Chainsmokers, nothing is worse
I dont know how to put it. I like the band (idk why lol) i accept the click was bad, I didnt hate it but it was bad. There are some ideas in this album that have potentil (such as the beat on break my face that they screw up with the trumpets imo idk what they could have done but man those trumpets are a hit or miss) but sadly the band just took those ideas into another direction. Something that they SHould DEFINITLEY improve is the songwriting. btw i dont think Jack met is that punchable lol.
bruh its not even july?
i honestly wasn't expecting an angry review because it'd be amazing if a band this shallow could be awful in new and interesting ways
Shallow? Putting this much effort into their music and share their own ideals is shallow? Then what counts as deep? Or meaningful?
This dude literally says “What was the point of the camps if they missed these three?” And then talks about them being overprivileged? Because they’re white? Has he LOOKED in the mirror?
AJR is that band that might be big now, but give them 2 more years and they will get milked out and no one will care about them anymore
This didn’t age well
"Ear scrapping falsetto"
*cough cough*... ok then
It‘s so funny that any vocaloid track made by rando‘s online that try to be experimental are more creative and unique than AJR. I can also definitely see why you said they are a cheap copy of TOP. Since they certainly are and it surely is cheap too. One can dsipise twenty one pilots all they like, but they can also admit that they are at least genuine and weren‘t bought into the industry and manufactured as much.
I‘m usually pretty open minded as an artist who likes a lot of different genres. But you can just tell when something is written by corporate soulless hacks. It lacks creativity and boldness. And I feel like AJR certainly hits that mark. They are just horribly unoriginal and it is funny to me also that they have to make it parental advisory when I can‘t imagine any adult actually listening to this. This is so clearly manifactured to be marketed to edgy kids and that‘s very obvious too for how much the covers look like marketing to kids.
Yeah, no. AJR are an insanely creative and original band.
@@jeremyusreevu237 yeah sure. That‘s why every song sounds the same and every song is a twenty one pilots ripoff.
@Takke 1. The album literally has audio easter eggs where different parts of the song are in different albums. Like you can hear the 100 Days "da da da" in Karma, and the "Everything is going great" from Birthday Party in Break My Face.
2. "Oh my god, Birthday Party kinda sorta maybe sounds like Stressed Out if you squint for a microsecond." Lol, keep reaching.
Wow, I didn’t expect that 10/10. Geez, what a disappointment.
In all seriousness, I was so hyped for this review. I’m surprised you found it to be better
since I am legally not aloud to break into his house a hurt him I'll just do this
Next Up Forever: being scared or anxious that you CANNOT do something if you did not drop and forget everything like family, friends, school, even your own CARRER and just work on only proving to the world that you can be great that you are the best
Birthday Party: when your young your thinking 'Oh my life is gonna be great I'm gonna do great things everyone's gonna love me' but its not that way and when you think its goin' great your life just crashes
100 Bad Days: not being afraid to be out there, not being afraid of being judged , and not being afraid of well, bad days
Don't Throw Out My Legos: being scared of leaving your childhood home and being scared that your gonna forget all of the good things in life and afraid of loosing all the things that made or make you happy
Break My Face: everything is so bad and you hate it so much but at least you know what's coming and you know what to expect so everything bad that happens to you you just walk it off
Turning Out Pt. ii: you just mess up EVERYTHING and your scared, your scared of being out there, you've been broken way to many times so you never wanna try again
The Entertainments Here: your life's SO boring and you try new thing and they're great at first but then they just slowly get boring
Karma: YOU HATE YOUR LIFE SO MUCH YOUR WAITING FOR KARMA BUT N O IT DOESNT WONNA SWING BACK ATCHA (sorry that one hits personally for me)
Beats: your music career is amazing and its going great but one problem, you just feel like your just like other music artists you just wanna be different but nothing's changing
Wow, I'm Not Crazy: your on all these meds and you have all these fears and you stand out so much that its kinda uncomfortable for you but you meet someone just like you and you don't feel like your along, you feel as equal as everyone else, you feel normal for once
Dear Winter: you want a child but your scared that they might out grow you and you don't want them to slip away from your family life but no matter what their sexuality, what they are what gender they're into, what they support, your child will always be yours no and you support them 100% (UNLIKE SOMEONES FAMILIES)
Finale (Cant Wait To See What You Do Next): your scared that this is the last thing that you will do you don't really wanna do this anymore, people don't seem appreciate you anymore, everyone makes you feel like your doing NOTHING right, and last but not least... no one supports you and every time you mess up no one helps you even when you helped them
Q U E E N ✨👑
I mean.... you got the interpretations 100% correct, but you also didn’t prove anything. None of the lyrical themes/ideas are bad on this record, but it’s just the way they’re executed that many people have problems with. Hey, that’s just my opinion though.
Let's go for parts then.
Half of your "explanations" are "you're too scared" imagine being over 20 years old and being scared of everything out of your comfort zone. I genuinely think that if you like AJR, either you are bellow 16 years old, or you don't listen to a lot of music. None of their music is "deep" they just are a adolescent that is rebellious against a life that has nothing wrong with it.
@@luizin1801 "life that has nothing wrong with it" ...go listen to both the Turning Outs, Karma, and the entirety of OK Orchestra, come back to me when you're finished, unless you can't handle mental breakdowns every song that we, AJR fans, who are basically considered a different breed from others bc we're tired of AJR getting shit on for being honest, call out comfort music
@@notamemerjustanidiotpyc2531 Clearly you do not know how to understand a simple comment. But yes, I did listen to not only "Ok Orchestra" but "Neotheater" and "The Click". Although at some point I might have related to some of these weak lyrics, I grew both physically and mentally to understand that none of what they sing about has true wheight. Go to a fucking therapist instead of getting in the same """sadness""" cycle and grow a little. Eventually you'll realize that they"re not as good as you think.
This is gonna be fun... I love Neotheater. Ok, I’m prepared.
Later: Oh...I’m pleasantly surprised.
