HAD AN IDEA of how to handle THIS WAS POP 2025:

 

Mayhem v. Man's Best Friend v. The Life of a Showgirl v. LANA v. brighter days ahead 

Taking away two albums that could actually bring ratings to This Was 2025...

Addison and Tate?

@Ace Reject at some point, probably not for a few months, I was thinking of doing another Carly rate, this time for all her unreleased songs, sort of like a Side B teas and also because I'm not gonna have time to do it for the current rate. Just wanted to confirm whether a rate focusing on unreleased material would be allowed?

iirc the last Britney rate had unreleased songs included. I didn't participate because it was too much material added to a very large discography already, but doing that as separate rates seems like a great solution to me.

The inevitable eventual 2015 Makes the Woman

 

Part 1: Emotion vs. Pageant Material vs. Reality Show vs. Revival vs. Vulnicura vs. 25

Part 2: Art Angels vs. Blackheart vs. Blood vs. Have You in My Wilderness vs. Sometimes I Sit and Think vs. Ten Love Songs

 

Walk with me here

So, are we still thinking of Taylor for This WAS 2025?

It's looking doubtful

 

This WAS rates going back to being an indie Khiafest, the popgirls just didn't bring it enough.

Well if Taylor is there that's at least the bottom half of rankings sorted!

@supaspaz and I have been talking about it!

Basically, since TLOAS has turned out to be so lackluster, @supaspaz will spin it and some others (MAYHEM, DTMF, GNX, MBF, maybe that Weeknd album) into one rate.

 

TW2025, however, will focus on the actually acclaimed albums of the year - and will be hosted by... the other king, @Eeveelution? Eventually.

Which, btw, is looking kinda crazy! "Geese?" "Heartworms?" Someone will have to throw in Blood Orange or Perfume Genius or ADDISON to bring in the views.

How do I find a way to include Oklou, Addison, and Erika de Casier in this lineup

We'll make an ATRL friendlier but still acclaimed lineup.

 

BON IVER, Addy, Turnstile, Tyler, et cetera and so forth.

BON IVER

ATRL-friendlier but conatus-unfriendlier I see

This means I have to listen to TLOAS again…but I accept the challenge

So the Gaga/Taylor/Sabrina/Addison/Tate/Lorde pop girl showdown is out?
