Take a chance on me - love ABBA but you could've done so much more with their discog imo. I like it though

Dive - getting kinda tired of seeing them in song games but oh well. at least this album shook up their formula a bit and this is an amazing song.

Space song - i think i prefer dive? both are going to be pretty high up honestly, they're equally gorgeous, but i think Dive is more out-there and i'm going to reward that

Nights on broadway - from what i've heard, the only Bee Gees songs i like are from the Saturday Night Fever album, and i miss that sleek, classy disco sound in this song. plus Barry Gibbs singing in his normal voice is kinda strange. i like it, but this is a very strong round with songs i'm very familiar with, so it's probably going to be ranked lower

Cloudbusting - the whole album is stunning, but the singles are really something else. For me, this one does it the most - the gorgeous strings and percussion, the buildup and that ending with what seems like an army of people marching and chanting, and of course her unique lyrics and delivery. There's so much emotion in this and I love it.

Running up that hill - Not only does this have a killer instrumental, with that incredible drum loop and weird synths really creating a quite eerie vibe, but the song itself is a great meditation on the male/female dynamics and it's a huge She Did That moment

This woman's work -  I never cared for this much until it appeared on a Handmaid's tale episode and i GOT it (actually now that i think about it Cloudbusting was in it too, but it wasn't as effective kii). this might not be as deep or inventive as the previous songs but the emotional vocal delivery and the dramatic production get me everytime  

Ms Jackson - there's nothing about it i HATE but i can't get into it  they have much better imo. Actually this is very repetitive and kinda grating/annoying

Call your girlfriend - this gay classic  such a perfectly crafted synthpop song

The sweetest taboo - you snapped  i considered sending Smooth Operator, but i think it perfectly melts the soul and jazzy essence of Sade with a more pop leaning sound

Is it cold in the water - No x

Cruel - it's no Cheerleader, but it's good, it feels a bit aimless though  

Strange mercy - IF I EVER MEET THE DIRTY POLICEMAN WHO ROUGHED YOU UP Another track much better than Cruel (also very funny that the synths here are very similar to Running up that hill's kii)

Drew barrymore - never like this that much, sometimes this really hits but it's not one of those days

The weekend - much better than Drew but i'm not feeling this much today, idk

I'm so excited - this bops but how are they over 3.5 nnn. irregardless to me 80s classics = instant 10s

In your eyes - so dated, bland and tacky  

Maps - never liked this much despite like their following albums. I think it's supposed to sound sad but she just sounds bored and emotionless  it's also very repetitive

 

 

[bestfiction]

Mokicritic snapped

 

[Auburn]

ABBA - Take a Chance on Me: a classic I think

 

Beach House - Dive: I think this is nice, but it takes way too long for the song to pick up to full speed for a game like this

 

Beach House - Space Song: I liked this more than the other one, but I still find it a bit lethargic. I’m gonna assume their music is meant to be consumed as a full album rather than a single track.

 

Bee Gees - Nights on Broadway: really enjoyed this, great instrumental and production

 

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting:  a masterpiece, my favourite song by her

 

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God): a classic, but I have always liked Cloudbusting better

 

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work: my least fave of the Kate songs here

 

OutKast - Ms. Jackson: was never a huge fan of this song, but it is a classic

 

Robyn - Call Your Girlfriend: it’s alright, I was never a huge fan of this either

 

Sade - The Sweetest Taboo: timeless classic, like most of Sade’s music

 

SOPHIE - Is It Cold in the Water?: girlie this is pure noise

 

St. Vincent - Cruel: didn’t enjoy this much either

 

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy: I liked this a lot more than the previous one

 

SZA - Drew Barrymore: my fave song by her! I love it so much 

 

SZA - The Weekend: more basic than the other song, but I still like it too

 

The Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited: this classic bop whew!

 

The Weeknd - In Your Eyes: this was one of the standouts for me when I first listened to the album

 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps: it’s a cute middle for me

Take a Chance on me: what a weird pick  it’s not terrible I guess but pls

Nights On Broadway: an even more random pick than ABBA  i think I prefer this one slightly though, because it’s a lil more unique but it’s still not the

I’m So Excited - I see this is completing the trinity of bee gees and abba of weird picks of this round huh  This is not bad but it’s a bit corny 

I didn't send any of these songs luv but just because a song is from the 80s or earlier doesn't make a "weird pick"  WORMS in the brain

Some points

[Auburn]

cute critiques so far, not sure what's taking everyone else so long

[touya kinomoto]

ABBA - Take a Chance on Me

• I love me some ABBA but this is one of their songs that I really don't care about. If I were to choose another track from that album, I would have gone with "Thank You for the Music". That one is an abosulte classic.

Beach House - Dive

• I am doing my critiques at the end of my shift so I am kinda tired and sleepy. NGL the first half of this song almost sent me to sleep. But as soon as the production built up,  I see now the appeal of this song.

Beach House - Space Song

• Ah yes, a better entry and a better song. Great choice.

Bee Gees - Nights on Broadway

• Hmm, this is okay. I am not too head over heels in love with it though.

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

• The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)

• The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has [2]

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work

• The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has [3]

An all-Kate Bush top 3 ain't not bad no?

OutKast - Ms. Jackson

• A classic and slander against this is just tastelessness

Robyn - Call Your Girlfriend

• A classic and slander against this is just tastelessness [2]

Sade - The Sweetest Taboo

• C'mon, Miss Sade. This is a cute song.

SOPHIE - Is It Cold in the Water?

• https://media1.tenor.com/images/57370c7a493b8085a8b1e79bd05d9304/tenor.gif?itemid=15489251

St. Vincent - Cruel

• C'mon, Miss Annie! This is a slay.

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

• The superior Annie entry this round. Slay!

SZA - Drew Barrymore

The Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited

The Weeknd - In Your Eyes

• Yes Abel, yes talent

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

• A classic and slander against this is just tastelessness [3]
