Touch It Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 say my name: classic bop biology: don't like this at all :/ now I'm in it: cute fun bop frail state of mind: artsy cute song
clue Posted May 27, 2020 Author Posted May 27, 2020 Spoiler Say My Name An obvious classic. Biology Wait this is a bop. I'm not going to lie, I was scared when I saw y'all send a Girls Aloud song, but this is actually really nice. It has like retro flair without sounding dated. Now I'm in It I think everyone has agreed that this was the best single from the album, but I definitely prefer The Steps. It's still an amazing song, but I'm tired of it. But, again, on paper it's a great song with fresh production. Frail State of Mind Possibly their best song. Really nice and topical lyrics. Although it is aging a bit for me, I think I've overplayed it. Spoiler @minho @mokitsu @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
Psycho Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Say My Name: Biology: Call The Shots >>> dated mess :riri2: Now I'm In It: They snapped I think Frail State of Mind: The Sound >>> :riri2:
mokitsu Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Say my name: classic, love it ofc Biology: i dont get why this is acclaimed, it's dated as **** and it's clunky Now i'm in it: classic, love it Frail state: it's a good song but i'm over it
Staryu Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Spoiler Destiny's Child - Say My Name A CLASSIC, there isn't much to say besides flawless choice Girls Aloud - Biology Biology is a cute bop, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't send Call the Shots? But I guess we can't all make the right/best choices. HAIM - Now I'm in It Sisters with talent, my own sisters can't relate :praise: The 1975 - Frail State of Mind // T H I S I S O K A Y // I L I K E I T M O R E T H A N I T H O U G H T I W O U L D // A C H I L L B O P // Spoiler @minho @mokitsu @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
rl231 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Spoiler Destiny's Child - Say My Name CLASSIC, yes. Baby, say my name, indeed. Girls Aloud - Biology I mean, it's okay. Definitely not bad but also just not my cup of tea. HAIM - Now I'm in It I was WAITING for this to be submitted, and I am GRATEFUL. The 1975 - Frail State of Mind Not my favorite 1975 song but also still a good 1975 song. Spoiler @minho @mokitsu @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
miguel Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Spoiler Say My Name a classic, a great one at that too Biology it's a cute little bop, it's definitely the weakest of the bunch though imo Now I'm In It aaahh a bop that cost me -5 points in ASC, but is totally eligible for this round of VL! Idk a lot of HAIM's music but i love this a lot, it's such a feelgood track! Frail State Of Mind This is a bit overrated imo, they have much better songs, but i still really like it Spoiler @minho @mokitsu @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
Tom Vercetti Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Destiny's Child - Say My Name A defining r&b group song for sure. Great entry. Girls Aloud - Biology I wasn't into this when I was younger but now I really like it. The switchups are kinda entertaining and it's certainly not generic (and it's better than Call The Shots btw). HAIM - Now I'm in It This is probably the best song sent from them this entire game. As an individual who's never been a fan of them, I can appreciate this. It packs a punch production wise. The 1975 - Frail State of Mind They're like chameleons just toe-dipping in each genre that they can have access to. From 80s revivalism to 90s britpop/jangle pop to 00s uk garage. It really depends on what style suits the listener. As for this song, I don't view it as a success but it's not bad either. Don't think it'll be enough to be at top this round tho. @minho @mokitsu @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
touya kinomoto Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 TOUYA KINOMOTO'S CRITIQUES We all snapped this round, huh? Destiny's Child - Say My Name This classique! That sudden speed up in the tempo in the pre-chorus is so great. It prevents the song from being monotonous. Also the simple yet godly hook, I- Very solid choice. tbh. Girls Aloud - Biology Look at this other classique! You know I am a sucker for a song with a great retro vibe and this one does this so well without sounding dated. And the absence of a real chorus, now that is experimental. Great job! HAIM - Now I'm in It I was expecting a Days Are Gone song tbh but Women in Music Pt. III works too. It was either this or The Steps. The way that slowdown hits in the right spot, amazing! The production is the main strength of this song and it's just sooooo good. Here, take my number 1! The 1975 - Frail State of Mind Let me take a bit of an offense @clue but you sent the best The 1975 song last season with Somebody Else. Anyhow, this is one of their best, top 5 in their impressive discography. The way that they interpolated their OWN song and make it a much better song? Awesome. The message? Timely. The production? Timeless.
ATRL Moderator Element Posted May 28, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted May 28, 2020 Destiny's Child - Say My Name a classique Girls Aloud - Biology um well... hmmmm. ladies, why? HAIM - Now I'm in It pretty but nothing to write home about The 1975 - Frail State of Mind very well produced, i might check out their album tbh
thecptz Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Destiny's Child - Say My Name whew, ok a classic i don't know what else to say about this song but i like it a lot Girls Aloud - Biology i mean its cute. its getting bad but then its cute again but then its bad HAIM - Now I'm in It URGH this song is sooooo good its a MOMENT!!! The 1975 - Frail State of Mind ooh okay this is quite good!
