CBC Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 The Key to Life on Earth — Zeros This is great! It's enjoyable and it was a riské so you have my respect. Also Spotify always plays a Marina song after so just take the 12 points
CBC Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Last Day On Earth — beabadoobee Cute song. Does fit the theme. It's quite enjoyable. Good job Somebody's Eyes — Karla Bonoff Cute song. Fits the theme perfectly imo. Quite the great entry love the guitar solo. Good job I'm giving it points Finally // beautiful stranger — Halsey Fits the theme but gosh I really can't stand her ugly *** voice. After all these years she still sounds just as empty as in the beginning. It's Yoü and I without a soul You Can't Outrun 'Em — Jenny Lewis Okay song. Gets too repetitive so we'll see about the points Wild Time — Weyes Blood Cute song. I love her voice and the sound of this album a lot! The length my work well on the album but out of it it just drags a bit. I lose attention towards the end. Los Angeles —Haim Fits the theme. It's an okay entry I guess Animal Noises — beabadoobee It's cute I guess. Def fits the theme better than the other entry so I guess you won the top 10 entry The Day and the Time — Shakira What a beautiful entry. Wasn't expecting to see Shakira this round specially with this gorgeous song! I prefer the spanish version but I understand you didn't want the xeno girls panning it. Good job Gimme What I Want — Miley Cyrus Soft rock with those loud drums? It's over... Only If For A Night— Florence + The Machine Love this song and love Florence but i wouldn't classify it soft rock at all Like I Used To — Sharon Van Etten Very enjoyable. I guess what's expected from a soft rock song. Getting points! What I Need — Pearl Charles Fits the theme. Thought it was a bit boring in the beginning but it grew on me! Sable On Blond — Stevie Nicks Period. The queen of soft rock herself. Love the song. The guitar throughout the song is gorgeous! I feel a good placement The Steps — Haim Fits the theme. It's okay I guess. The better Haim entry in my opinion. **** It I Love You — Lana Del Rey Ummm I understand why you'd send this but I'd say this is psychedelic pop. Calling it soft rock is a bit of a stretch. You could've sent California which has its soft rock elements much more explicit. You might get some points just cuz its lanita del goddess The Key to Life on Earth — Zeros This is great! It's enjoyable and it was a riské so you have my respect. Also Spotify always plays a Marina song after so just take the 12 points
Taylucifer Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Prince Johnny - St. Vincent really love the atmosphere of this song, this is nice Nothing’s Wrong - HAIM the instrumentals are good but the song kinda goes nowhere Loneliness - Birdy her voice sounds immaculate but i don’t know if it stands out among the other entries …At The Holiday Party - St. Vincent i was trying to figure out why it sounds so familiar then i realized Solar Power sounds like this song anyways, it’s the better St. Vincent song between the two entries IMO
Taylucifer Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 circle the drain - Soccer Mommy this is cute, so 2000s Fire Bomb - Rihanna if my entry isn’t considered “soft pop” then this shouldn’t be too but anyways, Ri sounds great on this track Paprika - Japanese Breakfast her voice is kinda serving Grimes, loves it and i love the trumpet in the instrumentals Holocene - Zella Day it’s okay but it’s kinda too long, IMO
Taylucifer Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 X - Chung Ha i didn’t expect to like this one tbh, very chill Too Much To Ask - Avril Lavigne a good track from a classic album Never Be Me - Miley Cyrus this is convincing me to finally listen to Plastic Hearts Runner - Tennis i’m not sure if i like this or not
Taylucifer Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Robbers - The 1975 the way this song takes me back to the summer before College i used to listen to this a lot Tomorrow - Avril Lavigne the inferior Avril song between the 2 Avril tracks sent Day 7.5093 - Nilüfer Yanya i thought it was a guy singing at first anyways, i really like this one, thanks for the new discovery

Kylie Jenner Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Why is everyone caring so much about the specifics of the genre they were all accepted, judge the songs on their quality not their ability to fit into a box

If their song fits the theme its the job of each player. This is "General Rock" Round instead of a "Soft Rock" one but I can blame them finding a song that fits this Soft Rock round is not easy at all. (specially searching for a female voice one since that's what ATRL's like) 5 minutes ago, prézli said: Literally this... Do you give it points because it fits?

Not need to worry if some players judge other thing apart from what they like. Most of them judge in how much they enjoyed the song, some don't depending of the round.

Let me send a tragic soft rock song from a male-leading band next time and there will be my 12 points, I guess The point of the game is to send songs that fit the theme first and foremost. If you can't do that ofc I'm going to not rate the song. Once we're past that point I will rank the songs in terms of quality, not preference. I've left a lot of good songs that I love get low points or no points at all because they either weren't the best songs of the round, didn't fit the theme as well as others or didn't fit the theme at all.
Auburn Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 wouldn't judging the songs entirely based on how much we like them just defeat the purpose of having a theme in the first place?

Lucky#17 Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Spoiler beabadoobee — Last Day on Earth Couldn’t make out what she was saying most of the time. The “shoo-shoo”s also got annoying. Karla Bonoff — Somebody’s Eyes Lyrics are interesting. Not bad. Halsey — Finally // beautiful stranger Hear the Yoü and I comparisons in this. It's pleasant! Jenny Lewis — You Can’t Outrun ‘Em It’s easy on the ears. The mini instrumental break was cute & it ended where it needed to. Weyes Blood — Wild Time The final minute was certainly the most interesting but the rest wasn’t as impressionable as I was hoping it to be. Still, might pop out a point ‘cause I appreciate the risk in its length. HAIM — Los Angeles Pretty cute. beabadoobee — Animal Noises More comprehensible than her other song here. Shakira f/ Gustavo Cerati — The Day and the Time Thought about sending her for a minute, so props to you for having the guts to do so. I also wasn’t familiar with this particular song, so I’m glad I’m hearing it now! Miley Cyrus — Gimme What I Want This woulda slaughtered in a fitting round, but deserves to be brushed off here </3 Florence + The Machine — Only If for a Night Eh, didn’t feel soft to me either. Generally a nice song though. Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen — Like I Used To Wasn’t feeling the voice of the second singer that came in. Pearl Charles — What I Need The Country elements worked well, actually. Nice little surprise. Stevie Nicks — Stable on Blond Solid. HAIM — The Steps I feel like this mighta been submitted in a different game? - sounds vaguely familiar. I enjoyed it; will probably Top10 it. Lana Del Rey — **** it I love you My #1 on NFR! + my #1 for the round <3 Declan McKenna — The Key to Life on Earth Went a bit harder than I would’ve liked, but it’s a decent song.
touya kinomoto Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 St. Vincent - Prince Johnny • Love Annie so much and this is no exception. Great pick.
touya kinomoto Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Birdy - Loneliness • The back-to-back serve. This is how classic soft rock songs sound but it doesn't sound dated at all. Her voice is also immaculate as always.
touya kinomoto Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 St. Vincent - ...At the Holiday Party • Hmm, I like it more than her other song. Both stellar songs so I can't complain.
touya kinomoto Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Soccer Mommy - Circle the Drain • Lovely song. Love the production tho it's kinda teetering to "dated". But whatever, I like it a lot.
touya kinomoto Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Rihanna - Fire Bomb • I love this song but this is clearly (not even remotely) soft rock. I'm torn if I should give this points or not.
touya kinomoto Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Japanese Breakfast - Paprika • Hmm, I'm kinda on the fence with this one. On one hand, it's charming. On the other, her voice kinda irritates me.
