MusicLoverDude Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 People can read the rules and still make genuine mistakes though. Just saying.
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Halsey - Killing Boys: It's not one of my favs on the album, but still solid! Fortunately the awful actual interludes were ineligible
Rotunda Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) TROYE SIVAN - Could Cry Just Thinkin About You I wish he would enunciate better, but the song has a nice melody and ambiance about it. It may be unremarkable in some ways but it's also like a minute long so that's to be expected. There certainly will be worse entries this round. MAHALIA - What Am I This isn't my favorite Mahalia track, and there are some specific production choices I probably wouldn't have gone for if I was in the studio (and some lyrical choices as well), but it's a pleasant vibe. I think this type of song will grow on me so I'll revisit it later, but it seems promising enough. KELELA - Bluff I really did not care for LMK and it turned me off from ever getting into Kelela but I'm pretty into this track. It's another one that I'll be revisiting to get a better feel of. LIZ PHAIR- Girls! Girls! Girls! I know very little about this girl beyond the iconic Pitchfork review. This was okayish, but I don't really have more to add beyond that. AVRIL - Contagious Ironically did not sound that contagious. Its not bad by any means, but reminds me of the music that would play in this Mary Kate and Ashley License To Drive video game that my sister would play MAGDALENA BAY - Body Killshot was one of my most played songs last year, but I do not like this at all. It got annoying super quickly, and despite being under 2 minutes long, probably should have been cut a minute shorter. KIM PETRAS - Clarity This feels very Charli XCX, but not necessarily in a bad way. I do find the lyrics kinda cringe (the combination of aave and false bravado), but I think the beat is good, and that should get you far enough. SASHA SLOAN - Only Child "You love a sad indie girl" - NLTM He's right and he should say it. This will place well from me. MIA GLADSTONE - Grow Honestly I hate songs like that have a ton going on like this because my brain gets overstimulated and it stresses me out. I can't really describe this song as anything more that "uncomfortable". ARIANA GRANDE - Obvious A top 2 song on Positions. No_its_true.gif MEGAN THEE STALLION - Rich It's generic Megan but generic Megan is still solid VAMPIRE WEEKEND - BAMBINA It's a little too soon for me to know where this will fall, but it sounds pretty good on first listen. SZA - Anything One of the better choices this round for sure. Enon - Salty It's not the worst song here, but it's far from my favorite. I didn't really enjoy it on first listen. Halsey - Walls Could Talk Banned or not, it deserves to stay over a good portion of these tracks Edited January 8, 2021 by Rotunda
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Lorde - Million Dollar Bills: I... have some periods of hating this and then go back to liking it. Right now I'm the former x
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Tame Impala - Nangs: ...but is there really something more than that?
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Miley Cyrus - Unholy: idk if I still need to rank this but guess I will. It's pretty sweet actually!
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Bhad Bhabie - Hi Bich: her one good song I've heard!
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Megan Thee Stallion - Work That: whew a BOP, I don't care she had to mourn the loss of a key during the chorus
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Neon Haze - Circus Minimus: I need this on spotify immediately
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby: sounds like a throwaway action flick with a persecution soundtrack song. Not a big fan I'm afraid
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Rihanna - Goodnight Gotham: this attempt at shoehorning a song by an artist with a banned letter! It will not go unnoticed!!!
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Magdalena Bay - Nothing Baby: trashy PC music adjacent FUN. I love it!
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 KKB - Flyway: underrated s**c*d* contemplation jam... A fave from the album
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Astrid S - Airports: this felt waaaay longer than 2:12 and not in a good way
Fruity Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Halsey - Killing Boys: i mostly panned this album in the rate but this is cute(ish) + better than i remember Lorde - Million Dollar Bills: yeh I'm pretty glad this is a deluxe track so that I don't listen to it regularly. it's lorde at her worst for me Tame Impala - nangs: isolated this feels a bit insubstantial but it's a nice enough pick Miley Cyrus - Unholy: cute but also her vocals are a bit annoying and of course... Neon Haze - Circus Minimus: it's definitely interesting and a risky send, I'll give u that. sometimes I might kind of like a song like this but the production is pretty jarring, I don't love it honestly Bad Bhabie - Hi Bich: pretty bad but somehow not as terrible as I expected Megan Thee Stallion - Work That: yeh this is a lot of fun Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby: annoying but undeniably fun. I def considered this one Rihanna - Goodnight Gotham: this song is pretty panned by the navy tbh but I kinda like it. Experimental bop. It kind of works *better* in isolation than in the album where it doesn't feel completely in keeping with the mood Magdalena Bay - Nothing Baby: listened to this last night and yuppppp I definitely like this Kero Kero Bonito - Flyway: not my thing generally but i'm surprisingly kind of enjoying it Astrid S - Airpods: hmmm yeh most people panned this album and I understand why but it's definitely listenable Kehlani - F&MU: this is.... a really interesting and enjoyable listen Kero Kero Bonito - Fish Bowl: absolutely not sorry Shygirl - TASTY: this is good, maybe even pretty great
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Kehlani - F&MU: This is really nice, a chill vibe
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Kero Kero Bonito - Fish Bowl: Absolutely not! This has always been the worst in Bonito Generation even Paintbrush is better damn
clue Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I know you guys had a rough time this round, but I really appreciate you all sending GROUP A Spoiler Halsey - Killing Boys It was really good for her....... One of the better tracks from N/Anic. Lorde - Million Dollar Bills Really terrible, honestly. Time hasn't been kind to it Tame Impala - Nangs Cute in the context of the album, but it doesn't serve much as a standalone. Miley Cyrus - Unholy Pretty basic. I've never felt strongly about this at all. Neon Haze - Circus Minimus Ummmm. Not great at all. Giving me very much background demo music. Bad Bhabie - Hi Bich Still love this. Absolute banger bruv. Megan Thee Stallion - Work That Yikes. Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby What is HAPPENING? This is so terrible. Giving me Phineas & Ferb soundtrack. Rihanna - Goodnight Gotham Um... it's really hard for me to comment on this. It's just kinda there. Magdalena Bay - Nothing Baby Kero Kero Bonito - Flyway Astrid S - Airpods So this started out really cutesy, but then it got repetitive as ****. And that's not good when the song is only 2 minutes and 12 seconds long. Kehlani - F&MU This is cute. Not super original, though. Feels very much Summer Walker/Kehlani type. Kero Kero Bonito - Fish Bowl This is hawt. Shygirl - Tasty This is hawt. [2] GROUP B Spoiler Troye Sivan - Could Cry Just Thinking About You Cute lil dreamy pop song. Is it the best thing I've ever heard? No. Is it that Bruno Mars or that Neon Haze song? No. Mahalia - What Am I? In one ear and out the other, baby. Kelela - Bluff It's Kelela, so it's not bad. Liz Phair - Girls! Girls! Girls! Love the guitar riff. This is really good. It's GIVING what y'all said it's supposed to GAVE. Avril Lavigne - Contagious Very basique. And I love a lot of Avril's stuff, but this doesn't stand out for me. Magdalena Bay - Body This is cute. Kim Petras - Clarity Sasha Sloan - Only Child Pretty enough. Sounds like Melanie Martinez, though. MIA GLADSTONE - Grow Unpleasant, annoying vocals. Ariana Grande - obvious Nothing remarkable about this at all. Megan Thee Stallion - Rich Cute. Vampire Weekend - Bambina Cute. Not one of my favorites on the album, but it's fine. The chorus is very sweet and I like the "crunchy guitars". SZA - Anything Enon - Salty The album cover is so cool. The song is really cool, too. Halsey - Walls Could Talk I don't really like anything about this.

Touch It Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 i hate short songs i hate them (maybe i'm just in a bad mood) Halsey - Killing Boys: this is pretty good, love the ending of it Lorde - Million Dollar Bills; wasting a lorde spot for one of her worst songs, this is still cute though but i'm mad Tame Impala - nangs: this is very nice Miley Cyrus - Unholy: broke the rules for a boring song Neon Haze - Circus Minimus Youtube Link Bad Bhabie - Hi Bich: a headache Megan Thee Stallion - Work That: literally my least favorite song on the album besides for don't rock me to sleep, i saw it while looking for an entry but was definitely not sending it Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby: this song annoys me Rihanna - Goodnight Gotham: one of the best from anti and deserved to be longer Magdalena Bay - Nothing Baby: not really a fan of this Kero Kero Bonito - Flyway: this is cute and fun, my fav so far Astrid S - Airpods: corny and lifeless Kehlani - F&MU: cute song Kero Kero Bonito - Fish Bowl: another cute song by kero, i like it Shygirl - TASTY: oh YUPP this whole ep is so fun
Invisibility Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Shygirl - TASTY: Tasty indeed. A bit of a bop that works with the short length
smholiv Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Group A ~ Spoiler halsey - killing boys // Manic is such a bizarre album so I want to say it was a risk sending something from it. This is probably one of the few songs on the entire thing that I actually like though so yay. lorde - million dollar bills // ummmmm I don't know about all of that. The "oh oh oh"s are way too repetitive to me and get grating. Actually the whole thing is sort of grating. tame impala - nangs // hmmm :zach: okay. this isn't bad, its ambient and sets a mood, but it feels middling since its more of an interlude i guess. miley cyrus - unholy // really repetitive so it gets tiring after a while (which is not a good sign when you're under 2:30), also her vocals annoy me neon haze - circus minimus // ajsjdf love how uploader labelling this "Rihanna". it really does remind me of like.. Rated R meets Unapologetic? a unique approach to send a song from a game! bhad bhabie - hi bich // well :hi: its not last megan thee stallion - work that // its a fun song, not one of my favourites from the album but a good entry anyway because i liked it bruno mars - runaway baby // excuse you? last place rihanna + the machine - goodnight gotham // it's pointless, but i'm not mad either magdalena bay - nothing baby // ahhh the way they'll probably be banned before some of our faves. this is sort of fillerish, but i do give it props for having a really fun production that i like kero kero bonito - flyway // this is borerline static but i enjoy it astrid s - airpods // really fillery, hate that its so repetitive and basic for such a short song kehlani - f&mu // oh hey. this is fun, a good bop, i liked it kero kero bonito - fish bowl // the production is fun of course, that's all these songs are about lbr. shygirl - tasty // YUP!!!!!!!!!! Group B ~ Spoiler troye sivan - could cry just thinkin about you // nice interlude mahalia - what am i ? // its cute. i'm not sure how i feel about it but its nice, also props for sending a full song f kelela - bluff // :minho: this is nice, her voice is so gentle and it works with the mellowness. a bit short i guess, its hard to REALLY get into songs that were clearly meant to be interludes. liz phair - girls girls girls // i mean i guess? this doesn't go anywhere avril lavigne - contagious // its fun. i kind of thought i might hate it but i think its enjoyable magdalena bay - body // yepppp that production is gorgeous. kim petras - clarity // oh i like it, pop bop sasha sloan - only child // i feel bad given the subject matter but i'm kind of snoozing. i think its generally okay but i'm not going to say this is my favourite song or close. mia gladstone - grow // nooooo thank you ariana grande - obvious // winner megan thee stallion - rich // oh you know what i actually think i like this more than the other song of hers. its shorter, but its good anyway the whole way through. like the beat vampire weekend - bambina // well. their music has never clicked with me outside of like one or two songs. i think its the ~indie quirkiness that i don't vibe with. this doesn't have much to offer for me to get into but i don't hate it either. sza - anything // my mind went to this album as well. its good, i like the sample, not a favourite off CTRL but among the batch of songs here its a standout enon - salty // a bit chaotic, i'm not a huge fan but i do think it's a decent entry halsey - walls could talk // one of the weaker songs here, it doesn't stand up on its own and is kind of unpolished feeling tag list: Spoiler @Anthem @Sanguine @K$Ellie @Noah @Not Like The Movies @Rotunda @Rence @Touch It @Psycho @bestfiction @Fruity @Alena @miguel @luckystrike @Future Lover @Staryu @Lucky#17 @MusicLoverDude @Tom Vercetti @PiecesOfYou @ughgabriel @Jay-Zicario @Mr. Duff @Pop culture @kipperskipper @Legend E @KevinDG@Born to Run @Queen Conchita @Invisibility @touya kinomoto
