Blondie - Heart of Glass: A stunning classic :jonny2: Still stomps on Miley's cover, it was too shouty 

No Doubt - Just a Girl: A bit annoying, idk. Don't really care for their music outside of Don't Speak

The Pretty Reckless - Just Tonight: I recall trying to get into them to pass as cool to some rock kidz. Um, anyways... the song is meh, a bit corny

HAIM - The Steps: legendary, iconic, absolutely breathtaking, a feminist anthem as6Q6Pv.gif

Phoebe Bridgers - Garden Song: a bit of a snooze, but pretty

Garbage - Push It: the production ****ing knocks as6Q6Pv.gif 

Beabadoobee - Together: pretty nice. can't say it's a standout or anything but it's solid. I liked her album overall

The Veronicas - 4ever: very 2007

P!nk - U+Ur Hand: that's fine

Avril Lavigne - Don’t Tell Me: a classique. I'd have ranked you instantaneously #1 had you sent in a The Best Damn Thing song though.

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life: a meme straight classic :duca:

Paramore - Grow Up: pretty fun, I liked it!

St. Vincent - Los Ageless: SOTY of 2017

HAIM - 3 AM: this... isn't even a rock song... :thing:

Beabadoobee - Worth It: cute! 

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon: I prefer their Rumors stuff but this isn't bad 

Sade - Love Is Found: the intro was amazing, very cinematic and intriguing. as for the rest of the song... well x

Joan Jett - Bad Reputation: Godvril's cover is better

Blondie - Heart of Glass

oh i havent listened to the original much.. i think i've listened to it once after i heard miley's cover

this is so FUN even though it drags in some parts but its a cute one :lakitu:

 

No Doubt - Just a Girl

well i expected worse but like this is not really bad at all?? i found myself bopping to it as the song went on

still, it's not that memorable for me so other songs might outshine it.. but i enjoyed this!

 

The Pretty Reckless - Just Tonight

serving avril lavigne a bit hmm idk i'm pretty mixed about this

yea i def enjoyed it a bit but then i feel like its pretty forgettable? so prob not good for you in my rankings

 

HAIM - The Steps

its def a highlight from the album. i remembered not rlly liking it when it was first released

but my feelings have changed! its a good song and whew vibing~

also, rlly love the bridge :smitten: it brings the song up!

 

Phoebe Bridgers - Garden Song

god this is like my favorite phoebe bridgers song :weeps: its so beautiful and so interesting

like the lyrics are so confusing that you need to take a deep breath and just read them SFSDFDSF

you touch my leg, and i insist but i wake up before we do it whew :smitten:

 

Garbage - Push It

oh wow i went from hmm i dont rlly like this to yup this is so cool in the chorus

it def takes time but when it hits, it hits! an enjoyable submission :heart:

(it kinda drags towards the end tho giggles)

 

Beabadoobee - Together

beabadoobee's songs are very hit or miss for me cause like ive tried listening to this album but can't finish it SFSDF

this is alright, i guess? not rlly impressed with it but its not that bad either.. hmm

 

The Veronicas - 4ever

yup YUP yup.. the veronicas, classic, absolutely. and this song is just chefs kiss

AMAZING JOB! idk what else to say but this is SOOOO GOOOODDDD WOOOOO :drool:

screams WHAT A CLASSIC. and the fact that its still so good now.. whew blows my mind

tenor.gif?itemid=6078005

the generally positive acclaim for my song serving high 70s on metacritic

 

the way i went from a banned paramore song to sending liz phair - never said to another banned song (this time by yeah yeah yeahs) to asking if i can send a maggie rogers song to the song i ended up with was so worth it. again sorry to @Overprotected for the flip flopping :bibliahh:

Spoiler

 

Not a terrible round.. but def a bit underwhelming :deadbanana: So many better options to pick

 

Blondie - Heart of Glass 

 ngl I'm kinda so used to mildred's version that I had to readjust for this one :deadbanana: This is a great pick tho, and still feels very contemporary with how this is a rock song but has become more poppy due to the discogenre which was also popular at that time. Pretty nice song overall

 

No Doubt - Just a Girl

It's a nice song, I don't think it's as bad as the crits this is getting. Is it as interesting as some of the other songs this round? Not really no but it at least has some character and isn't a total failure. The instrumental is pretty cool here and there

 

The Pretty Reckless - Just Tonight

It's not a total disaster but this feels very much rock by the numbers, and if any genre doesn't benefit for being by the numbers it's rock :rip:  truly forgettable

 

HAIM - The Steps

this grower :jonny5: I love the mix between the acoustic guitar and the electric here. Hope either this or Shameika pulls through at the scammys 

 

Phoebe Bridgers - Garden Song

Well this being so slow, sure makes this a standout in this round. Not really in love with it, it's pretty but nothing here is really gripping or screaming for my attention. It's bordering a bit on soulless for me but it has its pretty moments so I'll take it

 

Garbage - Push It

Both the songs I've heard in this competition for them are surprisingly great :deadbanana:  The chorus on this is absolutely amazing and I love how the pre-chorus works with it. The verses are admittedly a lil weaker, but they in contrast also make the chorus even better so I'm really not mad at it. Great choice

 

Beabadoobee - Together

Cute! It has enough punch to it to be interesting but it doesn't overdo it which is nice. 

 

The Veronicas - 4ever

yeah this is 00s pop punk/rock at its best idc idc this is a big bop

 

P!nk - U+Ur Hand

It kinda reminded me of 4ever at moments too and then I found out they pretty much have the same production team (of max martin and the dr. who shall not be named :rip: ). That said, 4ever is much, much better. This very much feels p!nk like i've seen a million times and it's not that interesting to me. The production here is okay and its saving grace, not really into the rest. 

 

Avril Lavigne - Don’t Tell Me

this is so.. average :rip: It's at least cuter than the pretty reckless song which was also so.. average. Not that great tbh

 

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

big (meme) classic yes although I don't really like it that much. The iconic parts of this song are cool, along with the mysterious intro in the song. But for a song that's less than 4 minutes.. it still overstays its welcome :rip:  The man in here esp.. is a choice

 

Paramore - Grow Up

CPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways; It's okay. I love the way she sings in the chorus, and the rest here is fine. I'm sure they have better than this but this should at least get you through to the next round

 

St. Vincent - Los Ageless

:jonny5: what an incredible song whew. The production on this is amazing, and I love how hard this goes and ends in this feeling of despair.  Great pick

 

HAIM - 3 AM 

hmm yes this def stretches the limits of this round and isn't really rock.. but OP accepted it and besides it is also an amazing song. Such a standout for them and it's nice to see them constantly evolving

 

Beabadoobee - Worth It

Personally prefer the other song by her, this is a little bit faceless. That said it's still cute

 

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon 

surprised we have only one song from them, esp after regained popularity through tiktok :deadbanana: anyways this is a great song, can't really complain. 

 

Sade - Love Is Found

I can tolerate a lot of lyrics and all, you really don't need to give me a taylor swift song to satisfy me, but this is begging for some more lyrics. The production on this is so interesting and progressive, the vocals are good too, but the lyrics hold this back so much because it still feels like the song ain't progressing :rip:  Anyways at the very least it's interesting so points for that

 

Joan Jett - Bad Reputation

i get it, it's a classic, but this is very much is serving me annoying teen kid who starts to rebel and it's quite annoying honestly :zzz:

Beabadoobee - Worth It

HEART OF GLASS: I find that this aged kind of weirdly, if not badly.  I find it really strangely annoying even though its definitely a light, upbeat song

 

JUST A GIRL : not my favourite ND song but I suppose I don't dislike it.  Gwen Stefani has a voice that can veer into unbearable territory - it sort of does that here a few times, and the chaos of the song as a whole is a bit much to take in.  I have other faves from them I wish could've been sent.

 

JUST TONIGHT : this was new to me, it doesn't really hold up as well as it should. incredibly repetitive in a grating manner - it very much feels like something from the mid 2000s, and that it should've probably stayed there.

 

THE STEPS : YESSSS excellent choice. this album had to grow on me but i'm so glad it did. it's a really fun track and one of their best

 

GARDEN SONG : !! so pretty.  for a while this was my favourite off Punisher and its still very high up there. I love the lyricism and the vibe of the song (her vocals on the chorus!). there's a melancholy feel to this song that i really love and i mean she's  generally great at setting up the mood and transporting you into the song

 

PUSH IT : not bad, this isn't something I'd totally get into, i don't have much to say

 

TOGETHER : VERY beautiful.  I love the sentiment of this song. her whole thing is inspired by female 90s alt rockers, and i like the modernization of it

 

4EVER : yikes what a weird choice. try again

 

U + UR HAND : something about this song always irked me.  it's actually not the worst in the group though, but idk i just can't vibe

 

DON'T TELL ME : a lot of people saying "you should've sent x" and ... that's kind of me too :dancehall: I don't dislike this song, its definitely good, but its not as strong as some of her other material that would've fit well and probably stood out even better.  this kind of gets lost in the mix so i foresee a middle rank

 

BRING ME TO LIFE : this is very meme'd at this point. it's also coming out of a weird place of nostalgia. and yet? i can't hate it, far from the worst this round

 

GROW UP : yeah they're too good to deny, especially with THIS album. this is an excellent track

 

LOS AGELESS : i'm an OSVH, and definitely a Masseduction hater, but this is one of the best. the synth-rock is really cool (and stands out for this round). It's repetitive at times but in a good way actually

 

3AM : nah this is really cool, the R&B tinge to it makes sense since rock and R&B kind of go hand in hand in a lot of ways.  I like this track a lot, its an easy standout for HAIM.  It's up against some competition this round but I still like it a lot!

 

WORTH IT : YESSSS WINNER?  SOOO good, very much feel this song oozing with the 90s influence but a current twist. THe chorus is soo fun

 

RHIANNON : Very good, a classic i thoroughly enjoy

 

LOVE IS FOUND : new to me, definitely enjoyable but its landing somewhere in the middle for me

 

BAD REPUTATION : was this in shrek? this is awful i'm sorry

Heart of Glass - Yeah this ***** all over Mildred's version. I hated her screamo version since day one, it works so much better with Debbie's ethereal light vocals.

 

Just a Girl - I don't like this at all... her voice is not built for rock. It sounds like Fergie singing the national anthem with all the acrobatics she's doing. No ma'am.

 

Just Tonight - I don't hate this, don't love (or like it) either. It's just there. Very early 2000s.

 

The Steps - I like this but I might have overplayed it, it doesn't hit as much after listening to the other strong entries in this round.

 

Garden Song - Such a beautiful, dreamy track. Her lyrics and delivery are unmatched.

 

Push It - Absolute masterpiece. Love this.

 

Together - Refer to Worth It because they're basically the same song lmao. Her baby voice is much more annoying in this chorus, but it's a cute song overall.

 

4ever - I listened to U + Ur Hand before this and they lowkey sound exactly alike :skull: I don't like this as much though, sorry.

 

U + Ur Hand -  I kinda love how this suddenly goes into a chorus that has nothing to do with the verses in terms of production and then goes back again as if nothing happened :skull: It's an interesting song for sure.

 

Don't Tell Me - Very early 2000s in the worst way. Very cheesy. She had better rock classics.

 

Bring Me To Life - Cringe

 

Grow Up - It's okay. The chorus is a bit annoying. I really love the second verse/bridge (?) section though. I just realized that this has a really weird structure :skull:

 

Los Ageless - This surprisingly held up pretty well. Great fusion of her and Jack's styles. Kinda tired of it though.

 

3 AM - Somehow this reminds me of Britney???? I don't know. It has a nostalgic feel to it, while still verging on dream pop/alternative R&B? It's a mishmash of genres that works perfectly.

 

Worth It - I looooooove the 90s rock feel to this. Very much Soccer Mommy reject. Her baby voice is kinda weak for this kind of production because it gets drowned out and it just doesn't match much, but I can't deny it slaps.

 

Rhiannon - This song is really elevated in their live performances. It's eerie and beautiful. The album version lacks the epic climax Stevie does in their performances, but I'll judge this as if it was the 8 minute version :cm:

 

Love is Found - I'm sad because this sounds really muddy and cheap. Like the mixing is just off...... there's a good song in this, but it's all over the place as it is.

 

Bad Reputation - This is a slapper, iconic and timeless. A perfect representation of the badass women I wanted to see in this round.

Blondie - Heart of Glass: Such a lovely and pleasing song to listen. Way better than that Miley Cover!

 

No Doubt - Just a Girl: Just a Meh!

 

The Pretty Reckless - Just Tonight: I don't dislike it...that's all I have to say

 

HAIM - The Steps: Fine...I was expecting more...

 

Phoebe Bridgers - Garden Song: Cute to listen it.

 

Garbage - Push It: I love the instrumental.

 

Beabadoobee - Together: OK. This just there for me.

 

The Veronicas - 4ever: I am not much into this, sorry.

 

P!nk - U+Ur Hand: I am not much into this, sorry. [2]

 

Avril Lavigne - Don’t Tell Me: I am not much into this, sorry. [3]

 

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life: Fantastic and Spectacular. A Big Classic.

 

Paramore - Grow Up: Another that is just there for me. But still better than half of the entries.

 

St. Vincent - Los Ageless: Interesting song to listen. It's really great.

 

HAIM - 3 AM: Way better than the other entry that was sent from them, that's for sure.

 

Beabadoobee - Worth It: Slightly better than the other entry that was sent from her, that's for sure. [2]

 

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon: Iconic and very deserved of its Classic Status.

 

Sade - Love Is Found: Another interesting choice. This is very good.

 

Joan Jett - Bad Reputation: A Great Classic. Nothing else to say.

 

I was Expecting more from this Round. Really disappointing. Underwhelming Overall.
