1. 개요

2019년 4월 26일 발매된 AJR의 정규 3집. 갓 어른이된 이후의 성숙을 담았으며, 전체적으로 잔잔하면서도 웅장한 분위기를 주는 사운드로 구성되어있다.

3집 Neotheater은 5집 The Maybe Man이 공개되기 이전 AJR 최고의 앨범이라고 불릴 만큼 팬덤 내에서 평가가 가장 좋은 앨범이며, 실제로 여러 평론 사이트에서도 대부분의 트랙이 5집 다음으로 높은편이다.

원래 2집처럼 디럭스 앨범을 출시하려고 했으나 코로나 19로 인해 무산되었다고 한다. 하지만 그 대신에 다음 앨범인 OK ORCHESTRA에 더 집중할 수 있었다고 한다. 만약 디럭스 앨범이 출시되었다면 4집의 BangBummerland의 데모 버전인 Outside가 수록될 수 있었다고 한다.

AJR의 각 앨범들은 이전 앨범의 곡 하나의 주제가 이어지는 형태로 구성되는데, Neotheater의 주제는 2집의 Come Hang Out에서 기반하였다고 한다.#

2.1. Next Up Forever

Next Up Forever
[ 가사 보기 ]
Your eyes are open
So never close them
You’ll sail the ocean
Finding where you should be
And if you’re broken
You’ll make your own thing
You’ll make it so big
For all the world to see
You’ll make it so damn big
For all the world to see

I’m kinda scared to drop this album
Let’s push it back another week
I wanna be next up forever
Find a way to never hit my peak
I kinda wish I was still a virgin
Trying to finally see what sex is like
I wanna be next up forever
Forever I’ll be second in line

Some day they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me

Some day they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me

This is my imagination
This is how it looks and sounds
But I gotta go so much bigger
So they can never shut me down
I’m kinda scared of graduation
‘Cause who am I when this is done?
I wanna be next up forever
So the best is always yet to come

Some day they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me
Some day they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me

I gotta go so much bigger
So everybody’s proud of me
Welcome to the Neotheater
Won’t everybody take their seats
And I’ll be next up forever

‘Cause I don’t know what’s coming next
I know I gotta grow up some time
But I don’t think I’m ready yet

I know I gotta grow up some time
But I’m not fucking ready yet

Your eyes are open
So never close them
You’ll sail the ocean
Finding where you should be
And if you’re broken
You’ll make your own thing
You’ll make it so big
For all the world to see
You’ll make it so damn big
For all the world to see

2.2. Birthday Party

Birthday Party

I bet our parents always stay in love
Always stay in love

And my minute’s been going great
And I hope it stays that way

I bet this Instagram’s a load of fun
It’s best to show the best of everyone
I bet it never bites us in the bum
I bet my ignorance is always bliss
Except ignoring pigment in our skin
I bet my country’s nice to immigrants
And that’s just how it is

Me, my, oh what a life
So me and all my people gon’ be stepping in time

Yeah, I can tell this life’ll be a cinch
And that’s just how it is

2.3. 100 Bad Days

100 Bad Days
[ 가사 보기 ]
Remember when we all got drunk
I ended up with two broke thumbs
Oh my God, I felt so dumb
Lucky me
I wrote a song that no one knows
I played a show and no one showed
Oh my God, I felt so alone
Lucky me

When all is going wrong
And you’re scared as hell
Whatcha gonna do
Who you gonna tell?

Maybe a
Hundred bad days
Made a hundred good stories
A hundred good stories
Make me interesting at parties

A hundred bad days

No, I ain’t scared of you no more
(Da, da da da da da da da da da da) (x2)
No, I ain’t scared of you
No, I ain’t scared of you no more

Remember when she broke my heart
Waiting for the waiter to return my card
Right as I let down my guard
Lucky me
We had to work a bit more hard
Only just to get a little bit less far

We could laugh about it all tomorrow
Couldn’t we?

When all is going wrong
And you’re scared as hell
Whatcha gonna do
Who you gonna tell?

Maybe a
Hundred bad days
Made a hundred good stories

2.4. Don't Throw Out My Legos

Don't Throw Out My Legos
[ 가사 보기 ]
My new address
Is hard to remember
So I wrote it on the back of my hand
‘Cause I leave the nest
This coming December
To make it as a grown man
I’m ‘bout to lose
My only defenders
I’m packing up whatever I can

Been waiting for today but
All I can think to say is

Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home
Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home

Can we keep my Legos at home?
‘Cause I wanna move out
I don’t wanna move on

People want shirts
With the band name on it
Suddenly we ain’t so bad
Saved up enough
To rent an apartment
Far away from mom and dad
My Christmas card
Looks like a mugshot
‘Cause suddenly I’m getting sad
Been waiting for today but

All I can think to say is

Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home
Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home

Can we keep my Legos at home?
‘Cause I wanna move out
I don’t wanna move on
Can we keep my Legos at home?
‘Cause I wanna move out
I don’t wanna move on

It’s cold out there
You’re standing there
You’re trying to face
Your greatest fear
You’re shivering
You’re trembling
It’s warm in here
So come back in

Oh, no
Don’t throw out my Legos
What if I can’t let go
What if I come back home
Back home (x3)

Oh, no
I’ll come by when I’m grown
It won’t be the same, though
I can’t even go home
Go home

Can we keep my Legos at home?
‘Cause I wanna move out
I don’t wanna move on

2.5. Break My Face

Break My Face
[ 가사 보기 ]
(Ok!)
(Ah ah ah ah) (x3)

You run your mouth
Your tongue fell out
It’s right there on the ground
But now
You’ll never drown
You can’t

You got no mouth
So it ain’t all bad now
What doesn’t kill you
Makes you ugly
Life gives you lemons
At least it gave you something

Ok!
So if I break my face
And I don’t look so great
My face is just my face
Ok!
So if I break my face
It ain’t my darkest day
My face is just my face
I’m ok

(Ah ah ah ah) (x3)

You roll your eyes
A hundred times
At every phony line
Are your eyes ok?
They rolled away
Right down the interstate
But at least you can’t cry today

Ok!

So if I break my face
And I don’t look so great
My face is just my face
Ok!
So if I break my face
It ain’t my darkest day
My face is just my face
I’m ok

(Ah ah ah ah) (x6)

What doesn’t kill you
Makes you ugly
Life gives lemons
At least it gave you something
What doesn’t kill you
Makes you ugly
Life gives you lemons
At least it gave you something

Ok!
So if I break my face
And I don’t look so great
My face is just my face
‘Cause everything is going great
So if I break my face
It ain’t my darkest day
My face is just my face

I’m ok

(Ah ah ah ah) (x3)
(At least it gave you something)

2.6. Turning Out Pt. ii

Turning Out Pt. ii
[ 가사 보기 ]
I am not chosen or that unique
Honestly you were and you chose me
Maybe I fucked up everything
Is this how it feels to be blue?
You said you’d love me no matter what
You said you’d love me, is that what I loved?
All of these choices messed me up
And everyone’s mean except you

I think I probably wasn’t in love with you
I think I probably loved the idea of you
And though I may be missing the feel of you
I think I probably wasn’t in love with you
I said it ‘cause I no longer wanna hurt
I said it back to you ‘cause you said it first
And though I may be wishing it wasn’t true
I think I probably wasn’t in love
Wasn’t in love with you

I was too worried how we’d end up
I wasn’t looking and you grew up
Now I’m here writing this dumb song

‘Cause I can’t even tell you the truth

I think I probably wasn’t in love with you
I think I probably loved the idea of you
And though I may be missing the feel of you
I think I probably wasn’t in love with you
I said it ‘cause I no longer wanna hurt
I said it back to you ‘cause you said it first
And though I may be wishing it wasn’t true
I think I probably wasn’t in love
I wasn’t in love with you

This is gonna break your heart
I’m so sorry yeah, I know
This is gonna break your heart
Is this all that life’s about?
Trying to love how you turn out
I don’t love it much at all
This is gonna break your heart
I’m so sorry yeah, I know
This is gonna break your heart
Is this all that life’s about?
Trying to love how you turn out
I don’t love it much at all (x2)

2.7. The Entertainment's Here

The Entertainment's Here
[ 가사 보기 ]
But

Oh my oh my God

The entertainment’s here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man

I used to be distracted by my favorite song
I loved it very much I made the song my alarm
And now I kinda hate hearing it every morn’
Don’t wake up anymore
I don’t wanna be bored
I used to be distracted rolling ‘round in the dirt
But recently I’m thinking ‘bout my purpose on Earth
But I don’t wanna think about my purpose no more
‘Cause it may come up short
Man, I hate being bored

I’ve been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down

But
Oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man

Don’t make plans
‘Cause oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
You don’t even gotta use your brain from here
Just
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then

(The entertainment’s here!) (x2)

I used to be distracted by my burgers and shakes
I’m running out of things that I can do with my day
‘Cause I can only eat so many times in a day
‘Til I’m bored again
And I’m stuck in my brain
You wonder what they did before inventing the phone
Yeah, how could anybody face the quiet alone
I’d rather be in Vegas than my very own home
Yeah, my cash’ll be gone
But my mind’ll be blown

I’ve been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down

But

Oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Don’t make plans
‘Cause oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
You don’t even gotta use your brain from here
Just
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then

(The entertainment’s here!) (x4)

2.8. Karma

Karma
[ 가사 보기 ]
I’ve been so good
I’ve been helpful and friendly
I’ve been so good
Why am I feeling empty?
I’ve been so good
I’ve been so good this year
I’ve been so good
But it’s still getting harder
I’ve been so good

Where the hell is the karma?
I’ve been so good
I’ve been so good this year

Why
Are you asking me why?
My days and nights are filled with disappointment
Fine
Oh, no everything’s fine
I’m not sure why I booked today’s appointment

I’ve been so good
I’ve been helpful and friendly
I’ve been so good
Why am I feeling empty?
I’ve been so good
I’ve been so good this year
And I’ve been so good
But it’s still getting harder
I’ve been so good
Where the hell is the karma?
I’ve been so good
I’ve been so good this year

What
Am I normal or not?
Am I crazier than other patients?
Right

I’ve done everything right
So where’s the karma doc I’ve lost my patience

‘Cause I’ve been so good
I’ve been working my ass off
I’ve been so good
Still I’m lonely and stressed out
I’ve been so good
I’ve been so good this year
And I’ve been so good
But it’s still getting harder
I’ve been so good
Where the hell is the karma?
I’ve been so good
I’ve been so good this year

(Ah ah ah ah) (x6)

I’ve been so good this year (x2)

Time
I know we’re out of time
But what if sad thoughts come and I can’t stop it?
Bye
I don’t wanna say bye
If only I could keep you in my pocket

To give me

Some diagnosis of why I’m so hollow
Please give me instructions I promise I’ll follow
I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow
But doesn’t that mean that the tour’s gonna sell, though?
I try to explain the good faith that’s been wasted
But after an hour it sounds like complaining
Wait, don’t go away, can I lie here forever?
You say that I’m better, why don’t I feel better?
The universe works in mysterious ways
But I’m starting to think it ain’t working for me
Doctor, should I be good, should I be good this year?

Ok
This all could be over
By the next day
So should I make famous friends?
Now our song plays in the produce aisle
What if some day you say ‘who the hell is that?’

Frankly, I'm scared of clowns
And get-togethers get me down
But when you talk, it's like, "Wow!
I'm not crazy"

Don't kill me
'Cause I'm just the messenger
I already
Went and took my temperature
And I'm not sick
I took all my vitamins
Yeah, I'm not sick
I'm just kinda different

Oh different, so different
They tell us to be different
But no one told me I could go too far

Frankly, I'm scared of clowns
And get-togethers get me down
But when you talk, it's like, "Wow!
I'm not crazy"
Frankly, I feel insane
But you say you feel the same
And suddenly it's like, "Hey,
I'm not crazy"
'Cause when you talk it's like, "Wow,
I'm not crazy"

Don't kill me
'Cause I'm just the messenger
I've never seen
Someone quite this strange before
You're just like me
You took all your vitamins
You're just like me
And you take delight in it

Oh different, so different
They tell us to be different
But no one told me I could go too far

Frankly, I'm scared of clowns
And get-togethers get me down
But when you talk, it's like, "Wow!
I'm not crazy"
Frankly, I feel insane
But you say you feel the same

Dear Winter
I hope you like your name
I hope they don’t
Make fun of you

When you grow up
And go to school
Ok?
‘Cause Winter is a badass name
Dear Winter
I hope you talk to girls
Or boys
Or anyone you like
I just hope
You don’t stay in every night
‘Cause I wish
I was out tonight

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
It really doesn’t seem
Like there’s anyone for me
But dear Winter
I hope you like your name
I’m hoping that some day
I can meet you on this earth
But, shit
I gotta meet your mom first

Dear Winter
I hope you like this song
And even when
You’re thirteen
And you scream at me

For parenting you wrong
I hope it’s still a badass song

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
It really doesn’t seem
Like there’s anyone for me
But dear Winter
I hope you like your name
You know I cannot wait
To teach you how to curse
But, shit
I gotta meet your mom first

Dear Winter
Don’t move too far away
And please don’t say
I’m hovering
When I text you
To ask about your day
I want to hear
About your day

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Will we still
Hang out and talk
When I’m no longer
In charge
Oh, Dear Winter

I hope you like your name
I hope you let me take
A shot with you
On your twenty-first
But, shit
You gotta ask your mom first

Dear Winter
I’m looking for your mom
I gotta find a girl
That doesn’t mind
That I’m inside
My head a lot
Winter, it won’t be too long
First I just gotta find your mom

4. 여담


[1] 보컬은 라이언이다. 바로 전 앨범의 Turning out과 이어지며 실화를 바탕으로 만들었으며, Turning out과 동일 인물은 아니라고 한다.[2] 100 Bad Days, Dear Winter이 둘 뿐이다.[3] 1집의 Infinity, 2집의 Turning Out, 4집의 My Play, 5집의 Maybe Man등 적어도 애니메이션으로 된 뮤비가 하나씩은 있었다.
