smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 20. Indigo De Souza - Bad Dream Average: 8.0 10 - Touch It, MP2K 3 - prezli 19. Wolf Alice - The Beach II Average: 8.0 11 - @greento 10 - none! 9 - MP2K 4 - prezli Tie was broken due to an 11 btw! Kind of surprised at the fact that there were no other 10s.
Sanguine Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Bad Dream is legendary... the wail... she was going thru it
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 18. Beabadoobee - Emo Song Average: 8.075 10 - Touch It, MP2K, K$Ellie 5 - Sanguine 4.5 - prezli Mixed among the indie rock forward songs are nostalgic-fuelled slower numbers. This track is fairly straight-forward but honest in it's simplicity. 17. Snail Mail - Ben Franklin Average: 8.09 10 - Sanguine 7 - Green Tea, Ellie, prezli Down to one song! Despite "Valentine" being the lead and getting all the glory and acclaim, these days I prefer the rhythmic build of "Ben Franklin", it also seems to work even better with her breathy vocal delivery (which can at other times be a drawback.)
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 I regret not giving Ben Franklin a 10 in retrospect! But I did my rates at the beginning which was like two months ago
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 Next up will be our first full album elimination of the rate. Indigo/Snail/Soccer/Clairo each have 2 or fewer songs
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 16. Indigo De Souza - Darker Than Death Average: 8.10 11 - @greento @minho 10 - Sanguine, Hikari 6 - Ellie 3 - prezli This is pure grimy '90s dipped grungy rock and I live for it. 15. Indigo De Souza - Hold U Average: 8.15 10 - MP2K 5 - diogo Supposedly this one had a brief moment on Tik Tok? Good for her! Likely due to the fact that it embraces more of an indie pop/bedroom pop style that is perfect for quirky outfit vlogs or whatever. I find it fascinating that this ended up as the highest from her album among the raters. Sadly, Indigo is the first artist to lose all songs in the rate. Due to a smaller than expected voter base, a couple of people not liking the album did leave a bigger impact than usual I do hope that at least some of you walk away from this rate having new appreciation for this album though. Fun fact it was my AOTY of 2021!
Sanguine Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Rigged omg ASYT is the best album here Darker Than Death is incredible
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 14. Beabadoobee - Together Average: 8.25 11 - @Green Tea Is Green 10 - Touch It, K$Ellie 5 - Sanguine It's all in that chorus honestly. The Hole influence is super strong. 13. Beabadoobee - Charlie Brown Average: 8.4 11 - @K$Ellie 10 - Touch It 6 - prezli The chorus is so scream-worthy, anthem!!! 12. Beabadoobee - Dye it Red Average: 8.45 10 - Sanguine, minho 6 - prezli This pop-rock fuelled track sees bea embrace her individuality and declare that there's no point in abiding by anyone else's idea of who she should be. It's a banger! 1-2-3 punch! All of these songs are pretty great examples of how this album captured the influence of her inspirations but brought them into a new light.
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 One of these will leave us at #11 but otherwise this is our top ten, looks like we're getting closer and closer to the winner reveal - will it be what you think? Care Worth It Sorry Circle the Drain Valentine Delicious Things Lipstick on the Glass Smile How Can I Make It OK? Play the Greatest Hits N/A Amoeba
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 "Valentine" and "Amoeba" kind of sticking it out despite the early reveal drags is pretty inspirational
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 11. Wolf Alice - Play the Greatest Hits Average: 8.675 10 - Sanguine, K$ellie 7.5 - MP2K 7.25 - Hikari 10. Clairo - Amoeba Average: 8.75 11 - @K$Ellie 10 - Touch It, MP2K, Hikari, diogo 3 - prezli In spite of it all she managed a song in the top ten. Funny how it's the one that sounds closest to her debut! Sling has been eliminated.
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 9. Wolf Alice - Lipstick on the Glass Average: 8.9 10 - Sanguine, minho, Touch It, MP2K, diogo 6 - prezli Pretty solid build up for me, this is one of the more cinematic tracks, I feel like this is the song that the cover art is for if that makes sense? 8. Snail Mail - Valentine Average: 9.1 9 averages already wow! 10 - Sanguine, MP2K, Hikari, diogo 7 - Green Tea This explosive lead single sets the scene (well not really) for the album of the same name. Honestly I was hooked on this last year and was really excited for what seemed to be a vivacious indie rock record only to find out that like half of it was folksy songs with questionable delivery. But you know what it's fine, the first three songs are still excellent and this made it all the way to #8! Valentine has been eliminated.
smholiv Posted November 7, 2022 Author Posted November 7, 2022 7. Wolf Alice - Smile Average: 9.15 10 - minho, Touch It, MP2K, K$Ellie, diogo 7.75 - greento This noisy BANGER is the one that caught me upon first listen. The delivery is just so.. cool and effortless. 6. Wolf Alice - Delicious Things Average: 9.225 10 - Sanguine, minho, Touch It, Hikari, diogo 6.5 - prezli Featuring a slightly laid back, dream pop vibe this ate up Beach House at their own game effortlessly. Glad it made it so far! And just like that they're down to ONE song!
Touch It Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Oh wow I thought delicious things was at least making top 5
