ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 30, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2022 BRUTAL Average score: 8.03 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @madonnas, @Lucas32, @Norte, @Quicksand) Low score: 3 (@MP2K) Who would have guessed that a Disney girl could throw this furious sucker-punch of thrashing punk rock? The opening track from Sour is a biting takedown of the false promise of youth as our golden years (“And I can’t even parallel park!”) and the world’s indifference to our adolescent angst. “God, it’s brutal out here,” Olivia Rodrigo snarls, in what may be the musical moment of 2021. After getting a nebulous release as the album’s fifth single, “Brutal” failed to make an impact on the charts, but it was rightly recognized as the best song of the year by Entertainment Weekly and its Y2K aesthetic music video was recently nominated for Video of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards. While a similar riff to “Pump It Up” initially caused yet another plagiarism controversy, Elvis Costello, in true punk fashion, didn’t give a fuck. Maybe it’s not all so bad, Olivia. Best bit: “And I'm so sick of seventeen/Where's my fucking teenage dream?” ATRL says...: “The rock-leaning songs on here are EASILY the best!” @Ewan Chaos asserted. “Great opener, intro, and lyrical content.” @BnPac called it “good.” creativity. thought it was “right out of an early 2000s teen dramedy.” @madonnas nodded to the Elvis Costello drama. “The most blatant ‘rip off/ of the entire album and it’s the one that didn’t get forced to add writing credits… weird, lol,” he noted. “Anyway, great song.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 30, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2022 THE OTHER SIDE Average score: 8.05 High score: 10 (@ultraviolence.xx, @Fitzswiftie, @creativity., @Reverie) Low score: 4 (@Lucas32) Can’t knock the hustle of a ho who’s just using her assets to snag a millionaire and get out of her drab existence. On this soaring aspirational ballad from Heaux Tales, produced by JoeLogic, Gee and Dilemma, Jazmine Sullivan pines for a future of expensive gifts and plastic surgery, a house in the suburbs with a pool in the back and vacations to Bora Bora. She’s tired of her basic life, with the job she doesn’t care about and the rent she can’t afford, so she’ll spend every night dolled up at the club if that’s what it takes to find a rapper or baller to call her own. “And I'll never be broke again/Strugglin', God as my witness,” Jazmines declares, channeling her inner Scarlett O’Hara. It’s all rather lovely and surprisingly moving – though not quite enough for a spot in the top ten. “The Other Side” missed out by less than three points. Best bit: “I'm hoping these titties can get me out the city/I know I'm too pretty to not do nothing with it” ATRL says...: “Almost psychedelic!” @madonnas marveled. “So beautiful!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greento Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 5 hours ago, supaspaz said: POSING IN BONDAGE Average score: 8.00 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @madonnas, @Lucas32, @Invisibility, @creativity., @Taemira, @Norte, @Reverie) Low score: 2 (@Insanity) The highest-ranking track from Jubilee on the countdown is, rather unexpectedly, this aching second single about missed connections and craving closeness with another person. Originally recorded in 2017, “Posing In Bondage” was reconceived and fleshed out for the album, doubling in length as it became a somber, spacey ballad with a sweeping extended instrumental outro. Though released before, the music video is a sequel to the billionaire bunker murder of “Savage Good Boy,” with Michelle Zauner, blood smeared across her face, visiting an empty convenience store in the middle of the night and making friends with the clerk. Best bit: “Done up and fixed on/All of the nights you turned away my touch” ATRL says...: “I keep forgetting what these songs sound like after I listen to them,” @creativity. lamented of Japanese Breakfast’s album. “Except for this one, though. So good!” Deserved number 1!!!! Can’t believe it didn’t even make top 10. at least brutal is finally gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
