Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired is the second studio album by American pop punk band Joyce Manor released on April 14, 2012 through Asian Man Records. During recording, frontman Barry Johnson was focused on pushing beyond the band's pop-punk roots, deliberately leaning into more esoteric and unconventional influences in an effort to prove their credibility. Musically, the album incorporates lo-fi and folk-punk elements, marking a distinct stylistic shift from their previous record. It also includes a cover of the Buggles’ 1979 single "Video Killed the Radio Star". The album was produced by Jack Shirley.
While fan reaction was divided, critics generally praised the album for its experimental and idiosyncratic qualities, though many have come to regard it as an outlier in their discography. To support the release, Joyce Manor toured extensively, playing shows with bands such as AJJ, Algernon Cadwallader, Touche Amore, and Hop Along. Running just 13 minutes long, Of All Things remains the band’s shortest album.
