ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 24, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2022 STANDING OVATION Average score: 6.92 High score: 10 (@Invisibility, @Reverie) Low score: 5 (@ultraviolence.xx, @Saddy, @Taemira) Though Sometimes I Might Be Introvert isn’t even halfway over, Little Simz takes a victory lap on this booming celebration of how far she’s come in her career. Rather than waiting for the “Standing Ovation” she knows she deserves, she going to give it to herself. Best bit: “It's a gift and a curse to be this pretty and blessed” ATRL says...: “Yes, she is definitely blessed,” @BnPac said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chopped and screwed “The Agony and the Ecstasy” operates in a call-and-response with Simbi, emphasizing that she and the subjects the song is directed at are “Two Worlds Apart.” Best bit: “I got higher standards, don't waste time trying to pursue me/You would trade intellect for an artificial booty” 43???

Wyvern Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 To be Loathed should've left way earlier. But at least the best Adele song (not "My Little Love") survives. 19 minutes ago, supaspaz said: Exactly! It just invites you to sit in the moment. The instrumentals are the highlight of that album, and this really was the perfect way to close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted July 24, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2022 I was the highest score for In Hell!! Shame on y’all! Drivers License felt like this gargantuan pop moment when it was smashing? But then good 4 u came along and just completely erased it. It was crazy to witness but the better song won.

Ewan Chaos Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Really surprised Posing for Cars wasn't as adored tbh... I suppose there could have been worse songs from it to leave. I like In Hell but I'll take it leaving to keep Slide Tackle! The sentiment of Getting Older is exactly what makes it a perfect opener to me! I'm not terribly mad at it leaving now. Same with Your Power, an interesting lead single choice for sure... Didn't expect To Be Loved to be out (and Oh My God still being in is VERY surprising to me). There's just something about a raw, emotional song like this, and I actually think songs like this are better from someone who ISN'T a proper belter.

wish Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 2 hours ago, supaspaz said: YOUR POWER Average score: 6.83 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Lucas32) Low score: 1 (@Insanity, @creativity.) After a monthslong hiatus, Billie Eilish relaunched the promotional cycle for her second album with what would technically be Happier Than Ever’s third single: this soft folk ballad with a hard edge. Accompanied mainly by an acoustic guitar, it’s perhaps the most stripped-down she has ever been, the song’s entrancing force coming from Billie’s clear-eyed denunciation of men who exploit young women. Fans theorized that she was singing about her former boyfriend, 7: AMP, whom she dated when she was a teenager and he was in his early 20s. But while Billie has acknowledged being in a relationship when she was younger that she now views as abusive, she has also insisted that the song is bigger than her own experiences. “I would like people to listen to me,” she told British Vogue. “And not just try to figure out who I'm talking about, because it's not about that.” Debuting and peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Your Power” was an unusual direction for Billie and it quickly tumbled down the charts, though it did manage to crack the top twenty on both pop and rock radio. The self-directed music video, where she sits on a mountain as a snake wraps itself around her neck, won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Video for Good. Best bit: “Will you only feel bad when they find out?/If you could take it all back/Would you?” ATRL says...: “A poor choice as lead single,” @madonnas stated. “But at the same time, it made us lower our expectations for the album, so when we listened to the album as a whole, we were blown away.” @Ace Reject said it “would be a 10 if the BPM matched ‘Lovesong’” by the Cure.

Lucas32 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 And here I thought Drivers License was a #1 contender Your Power and Getting Older out is such a shame.
