smholiv Posted November 3, 2022 Author Posted November 3, 2022 32. Beabadoobee - Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene Score: 7.675 10 - Touch It 5 - prezli The closer to Fake it Flowers is a quirkier number that has some noisy guitars. Rough around the edges and featuring a pretty repetitive hook, this bolt of energy is honestly a secret highlight. 31. Indigo De Souza - Kill Me Score: 7.7 11 - Sanguine 10 - minho, Touch It 1 - diogo A second closer... "Kill Me" is everything about why Any Shape You Take is fantastic. The lyrics are rooted in fairly simple but stream of conscious style writing, supported with an earnest yet gritty delivery. The result is something that captures the aesthetic of the album in a single song. You almost don't even recognize who she is at this point, making the "bare it all" style of the preceding songs all the more powerful. That's it for now! 30-1 will be revealed sometime tomorrow. Summary is coming shortly and I will update the first page.

smholiv Posted November 3, 2022 Author Posted November 3, 2022 There will definitely be some... surprises in the upper part of this rate
greento Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 So glad Snail Mail got deservedly dragged here the two best albums doing so well is great as well. Wolf Alice and indigo easily had the best albums here

Indigo De Souza - Real Pain Score: 7.35 11 - Hikari 10 - Sanguine, minho, greento, Touch It, MP2K 2 - diogo 1 - Ellie The rate title! Anyway this is easily one of the grittiest, darkest songs off the album. I mean it features a solid section of distorted screams after all. Definitely one of the most divisive songs in the whole rate. Deserved so much better! I knew f words like @diogozsz @K$Ellie would not appreciate this masterpiece Yall also did SM did wrong (I know the album was still disappointing but still better than the clairo album x)
smholiv Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 Clairo is the queen of pop. When I do the Bedroom Pop version of this rate and Immunity occupies the entire top ten!
smholiv Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 @Sanguine @greento @Touch It @Green Tea Is Green @MP2K @Hikari @K$Ellie @diogozsz @prézli @minho #30 - 1 revealing today. Will the winner be what we expect? For how long can Clairo and Snail Mail hang on with their remaining 1/2 songs? Let's get started with the album that managed to stay unscathed for a long time... and see if that will last
smholiv Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 30/29. Wolf Alice - No Hard Feelings Score: 7.725 10 - minho, greento 2 - prezli 30/29. Wolf Alice - Feeling Myself Score: 7.725 10 - Touch It 3 - prezli We were feeling a tie
smholiv Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 28. Beabadoobee - Further Away Score: 7.73 9.5 - greento 6.5 - Sanguine A dramatic but emotional take on growing up and moving past the tough years of youth. 27. Wolf Alice - The Beach Score: 7.75 10 - diogo 2 - prezli Opening up Blue Weekend is this crescendoing number that reaches a climactic mood-setting, the perfect opener. 26. Wolf Alice - The Last Man on Earth Score: 7.7825 10 - diogo 3.5 - Sanguine A piano driven number, released as the lead single, many people would consider this cinematic track an album highlight... but not us!
smholiv Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 25. Indigo De Souza - Way Out Score: 7.825 10 - Sanguine 4 - diogo Repetitiveness was used throughout this album to anchor itself in many ways, making the lyrics more of a declaration. This is a good example of that being used, especially with the final refrain. 24. Indigo De Souza - Die/Cry Score: 7.85 10 - Sanguine, minho, MP2K 4 - diogo An emotional highlight off the album, the repetitive chorus of "I'd rather die before you die" really sinks the sentiment in. Truly a masterpiece!
smholiv Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 23. Soccer Mommy - Yellow is the Color of Her Eyes Score: 7.875 10 - Touch It, Hikari 5 - prezli A slow burner but sweet song, in a lot of ways this feels like a centrepiece for the record. It's just such a mood idk. 22. Soccer Mommy - Bloodstream Score: 7.95 11 - Sanguine 10 - minho 5.5 - diogo 5 - Green Tea A truly incredible track opens the album. With the right hit of nostalgia this song feels right out of the Avril Lavigne playbook to me. But of course Soccer Mommy makes it her own with tremendous emotional delivery. 21. Indigo De Souza - Late Night Crawler Score: 7.975 10 - minho 4 - prezli This dark brooding track always struck me as a secret highlight. The juxtaposition from how the song opens with how it transcends throughout the rest is incredible. -- This leaves Soccer Mommy with 1 song and Indigo with 3 songs Originally I wanted to finish the rate today but ATRL has been kind of finicky for me so I'm going to leave it here and do the top 20 another time. In the meantime please discuss the results here... Thanks!

K$Ellie Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Late Night Crawler and Bloodstream should be higher Ben Franklin, Darker Than Death, The Beach II and Dye It red can leave now Edited November 4, 2022 by K$Ellie
