Future Lover Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 Red Velvet - Marionette Their recent music doesn't do it for me HAIM - Falling Still one of their best songs! Erika De Casier - Drama Pleasant background music Alexis Jordan - Happiness Cute enough Kylie Minogue - Magic Not a fan of this album but I do like this song Michelle Branch - Everywhere It's not All You Wanted but it's still very nice Kesha - Cannibal Never liked this at all unfortunately Katy Perry - Roar I don't find this as bad as most people but I don't really like it either Natalie Imbruglia - Torn LOVE this song!!! Mariah Carey - Emotions Cute classic but I would've prefered Honey or Heartbreaker Amy Winehouse - Rehab Not a bad song at all but I could never really get into her music Mitski - Happy The second half of this is cute Ciara - Goodies Fun classic! Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien Not my fav from her but it's nice enough Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday This wasn't bad but it kinda went in one ear and out the other

Not Like The Movies Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 My Thoughts Red Velvet - Marionette - This was enjoyable, it's my first time hearing it and I like it. HAIM - Falling - I really need to take a dive into their discography because almost every time I hear something, it's good. Erika De Casier - Drama - Excellent song from an excellent album, you ate! I love this song sooooooooo much! Alexis Jordan - Happiness - oh chile, this is a bop, it sounds familiar, I think I have heard it before, not sure but it bopped. Kylie Minogue - Magic - Honestly one of her best songs. I used to be a huge hater of her because I am not a fan of her voice/vocals but then I started appreciating some of her music and this is one of the pop perfection songs in her discography, very great choice. Michelle Branch - Everywhere - This is just middling for me. Pop-rock is either hit or miss for me but this was just okay. I don't hate it or anything, I just love lots of songs in this round so yeah, its tough but you should be fine. Kesha - Cannibal - I was never a big fan of this song tbh, I love a lot of her popular songs but this song has always been just okay to me, it has always been really cheap sounding to me which I am not a big fan of. Katy Perry - Roar - Far from her best but this has always been a very catchy and harmless bop and I do think it's a very good song. Very nice entry. Natalie Imbruglia - Torn - This classic, I love this song, this is what I mean when I say pop rock is hit or miss for me because I love this song a lot. I used to enjoy hearing this on the radio. Mariah Carey - Emotions - MASTERPIECE! One of the best singles of all time! The vocal performance on this song is insane Vocals over anything!! That MTV Unplugged performance is one of the best performances of all time, she just had to earn my stan card chile. Just whew!! Amy Winehouse - Rehab - Nice classic, I like this song a lot. She should still be around, ugh so many icons like her, Left eye, Aaliyah, etc gone way too soon. Nice entry. Mitski - Happy - Mitski is very hit or miss for me, this was alright, it just cannot compete with some of the excellent songs here for me personally. But it's not bad at all. Ciara - Goodies - periodddddddddddddddd!! a huge classic banger!! Cici really deserves more recognition for all the bangers she released, like wheww!! Normani has the potential to release huge bops like this, I really wish she does! Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien - Pop perfection bop! This is top 3 in that album, Carly does basic pop better than many basic atrl favs! Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday - Hmm, not bad, not bad at all, it's better than a lot of the more popular songs in this style of music in the past two years. Gonna be hard to compare to songs I love here though.
PinkBox Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Red Velvet - Marionette This was pretty good actually, I liked the vibe, was pretty unique HAIM - Falling This was SO dull, repetitive, one note, I'm sorry... actually no, YOU should apologize to me for wasting my time Erika De Casier - Drama I'm a notorious chill music hater so inoffensive is the word I'd use to describe this. I don't have any feelings on this, which isn't a good thing, it's not a bop, but not a dramatic song, no theatrics, no amazing vocals, WHAT am I here for (this sounds like a lot but the song actually isn't bad, this is just a chill songs rant) Alexis Jordan - Happiness I have trauma with this song, the Suki Doll elimination... Get this AWAY from me. But for real, this was a cute bop, it sounds a bit older so a bonus point for me!!! Kylie Minogue - Magic Not my absolute fave from the album, but I liked the album overall and this is a nice song!!! Michelle Branch - Everywhere This was cute as well, kinda generic, but it didn't bore me to death!! Kesha - Cannibal This was kinda bad but in a good way, it's so chaotic, I kinda stan Katy Perry - Roar Very cheesy, but ngl it's lowkey a bop, kinda stanned after I went to the Prismatic World Tour Natalie Imbruglia - Torn Never heard this, but it's a very cute song, it's nice!! Mariah Carey - Emotions Work vocals and dramatics, we're doing better now!! Amy Winehouse - Rehab Yass we stan, finally, we're getting to great songs!! Mitski - Happy Well the great songs streak is definitely over. I'm not even kidding when I say I had to turn the volume down on this. Ciara - Goodies Aaaand thank you for bringing the great songs back!!!! This is such a BOP my god, you ate Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien Not as bad as I was expecting, but Carly really needs to stop being sent in these games Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday You know what... I SHOULD hate this because of the style of music, but it's actually the best of the "chill" songs in here, it wasn't as boring as I feel it should be, I very surprisingly enjoyed this a bit
Kelp Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Troye Sivan - Wild: I wish I liked his music more tbh :( this is the worst I've heard from him, the chanting..... Shygirl - Woe: not usually a fan of her but this isn't bad! Kelsea Ballerini - Graveyard: what is this christian girl autumn esque music it sounds like Taylor Swift Madonna - Music: not usually a fan of her but this isn't bad! [2] Lianne La Havas - Bittersweet: this is so beautiful oh wow! Fergie - Fergalicious: yeah a certified classic Selena Gomez - Rare: cannot stand any of her music sorry Mariah Carey - Fantasy: yeah a certified classic [2] Samia - Pool: askdfjlsa. I'm sorry, but this is offensively bad to me the second half was better Christina Perri - bluebird: QUEEN! okay that aside this is not her best work akskjflas. but the chorus is cute! Frank Ocean - Nikes: a fan of her but this is bad! Beabadoobee - Care: QUEEN! [2] love this The Veronicas - Untouched: it's cute but not as good as the gays say G-Idle - Tomboy: it's alright, sounds kinda cheap but it's fun Alvvays - Pharmacist: this album was cute!
luckystrike Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 ✧･ﾟ*･ﾟ* luckyfork critiques ✧･ﾟ*･ﾟ* group b Troye Sivan - WILD it is a classic in the luckystrike household!!! holds very dear memories to me and will always have a special place in my heart <3 instant number one Shygirl - Woe very nice! cute, vibey and interesting enough to not make me want to skip it halfway through Kelsea Ballerini - Graveyard it's honestly okay, I can stand Kelsea and this is a cute song, I do remember it being more interesting though but it's fine Madonna - Music it's a classic! not the Madonna classic I usually levitate towards but it's undeniably a great song Lianne La Havas - Bittersweet she's such a weird musical entity to me like... WHO is she and why does everyone know about her but at the same time no one does? like being honest this will end up pretty low for me, I don't mind it but like... it went in one ear and out the other Fergie - Fergalicious WHEW this is an iconic signature song and many of the girls wish they had a moment like this, remains legendary to this day Selena Gomez - Rare it's still so cute to me likeeee... I totally get her she is so me Mariah Carey - Fantasy bad b*tch I could be your fantasy undeniable classique but Latto elevated it (jk) (kinda) Samia - Pool ...okay? this felt very random and like, I'm not sure that this song works out outside the concept of the album it belongs to, it was quite cute but yeah kinda whatever Christina Perri - bluebird Christina Perri in 2022? be serious. Frank Ocean - Nikes no offense, I have always found him very overrated and this is no exception like... it's fine but I have no desire to ever hear it again beabadoobee - Care after watching Heartstopper 15+ times all of her music ends up sounding like it could be the entire soundtrack of the show so I will be stanning <3 this is cutesy The Veronicas - Untouched WEDDINGS!!!!!!! GRADUATIONS!!!!!!!! FUNERALS!!!!!!!!!!! they just don't make songs like this anymore damn, it's crazy how this song is still the best song ever made (G)I-DLE - TOMBOY honestly I only enjoy the chorus and the way she says "why are you cranky boy" gives me the ick Alvvays - Pharmacist it's cute! kinda verges on mid but I did bop my head a little
wish Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 wishtie's critiques ✰ Red Velvet - Marionette this was cute & i like the direction but it just kinda ended up falling short HAIM - Falling ahhh so good, love the fusion of their rockier vocals with the funky 80s r&b influenced production Erika De Casier - Drama yes. absolutely dreamy r&b bop Alexis Jordan - Happiness this is kinda campy? the production is distractingly generic, cheap, & dated but a light bop nonetheless Kylie Minogue - Magic a fun disco moment from kylie. however it’s nowhere near her best Michelle Branch - Everywhere oh wow the nostalgia... good song, the chorus is iconic Kesha - Cannibal OMGGGGG classic arrived Katy Perry - Roar cheesy asf. i never liked this song much Natalie Imbruglia - Torn very cute classique, love this song Mariah Carey - Emotions love love love this & it’s mariah season so you get extra points Amy Winehouse - Rehab such a banger. her vocals are insane & the production is also strong Mitski - Happy the production has aged but otherwise its a solid mitski song, i love the disruptively loud saxophone Ciara - Goodies oKAYYYY CLASSIC!! this is a major bop Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien v solid, one of carly’s best post-emotion songs Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday hmmm this is pretty, but it’s just a bit meandering. i'm not connecting to it

Psycho Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Red Velvet - Marionette: Cute intro to a solid Japanese album HAIM - Falling: One of my fave sings and albums of all time Erika De Casier - Drama: Nice smooth jam, but I love a lot of these songs more :shy: Alexis Jordan - Happiness: A euphoric hymn Kylie Minogue - Magic: One of the biggest bops of 2020 Michelle Branch - Everywhere: One of the earliest songs I remember liking Kesha - Cannibal: A bit of a banger Katy Perry - Roar: I mean it's a bop but too generic like Natalie Imbruglia - Torn: Saur pretty Mariah Carey - Emotions: A classic Amy Winehouse - Rehab: Another classic, tho I enjoy some of her other songs more Mitski - Happy: Not something I would listen to again a lil too unpolished for my taste Ciara - Goodies: A catchy 2000s bop Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien: Great opener to an album that slightly aged Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday: A little slow for me but it's nice
smholiv Posted November 25, 2022 Author Posted November 25, 2022 I'm missing: @touya kinomoto @D e v o n @Technicolor @Not Like The Movies @Element @Tom Vercetti @fiercE for ranks (and comments for a few of you) since we're approaching the deadline I'm assuming we will need a short extension? let me know when you can get it done, for now I'll extend it to 12pm EST tomorrow. if you don't see your name up there that means your ranks were received!
Technicolor Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Red Velvet - Marionette - It was okay. Kind of forgettable HAIM - Falling - Cute Erika De Casier - Drama - Very chill and relaxing. I like it Alexis Jordan - Happiness - Cute Kylie Minogue - Magic - Bop Michelle Branch - Everywhere - Very nostalgic. I love this type of sound Kesha - Cannibal - Still a bop. I was happy when this got a resurgence on Tik Tok Katy Perry - Roar - A cute bop. The lyrics are a little bit corny but i still bop regardless Natalie Imbruglia - Torn - Iconic song. Love this Mariah Carey - Emotions - Another iconic song! Mariah really has the classics Amy Winehouse - Rehab - Another classic! She had such a wonderful voice :( Mitski - Happy - Cute track. I haven't listened any of her music before so this was a nice surprise! Ciara - Goodies - Such a jam. So energetic and fun Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien - Love this song. her best opener behind RAWM Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday - It was okay. Nothing else
ATRL Moderator Element Posted November 25, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted November 25, 2022 ELEMENT'S CRITIQUES Troye Sivan - Wild: Lovely chorus + production. Not crazy about the kid voices chanting though. Shygirl - Woe: Very engaging production! I enjoyed the switch-ups throughout that kept the song fresh. Kelsea Ballerini - Graveyard: I actually liked this one and I'm not a country fan at all! Her voice is v pleasant and the melody was enjoyable. Madonna - Music: I've never really understood the appeal of this song. It's okay... for some reason it just never clicks for me. Lianne La Havas - Bittersweet: Really liked her voice on this! Will need to listen a few more times before ranking. Fergie - Fergalicious: Omg you knew you ate when you snatched this Selena Gomez - Rare: A cute moment from Selena. It's not my favorite of hers by any means but it gets the job done. Mariah Carey - Fantasy: A huge hit for a reason. It holds up very nicely! Samia - Pool: Hmmmm I was really hyped for this at the beginning with the opening production, but the lyrical portion didn't really jive with me sadly. Christina Perri - bluebird: This is one of the most random song choices I could have imagined. I remember this song from years ago... it's cute enough tbh. I don't hate it. Frank Ocean - Nikes: Love the instrumentation and the vocals in the second half. Not crazy about the vocal effects on the first half. Beabadoobee - Care: It's no "talk" but it's still quite nice! I really liked the bright guitar in the bridge The Veronicas - Untouched: Absolutely... this is a pop classic and cornerstone! G-Idle - Tomboy: It's fun and catchy! Alvvays - Pharmacist: Hmmmm this just was ~there~ for me. It's pleasant but forgettable.
DevonRoars Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Red Velvet - Marionette - This was okay. Just not a big fan of K-pop and the beat was annoyingly repetitive. HAIM - Falling - very enjoyable and very Foxes and Ellie Goulding 2012/2014 vibe. Erika De Casier - Drama - I feel like this sound is done better by other artists. Alexis Jordan - Happiness - personally not a fan of her voice.. Kylie Minogue - Magic - Cute! Michelle Branch - Everywhere - Has that very generic pop-rock/Miranda Cosgrove vibe. Not for me. Kesha - Cannibal - cute Katy Perry - Roar - what a bop! Natalie Imbruglia - Torn - just okay. Mariah Carey - Emotions - isssokay Amy Winehouse - Rehab - amazing!!! Mitski - Happy - not super memorable Ciara - Goodies - dated Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien - perfection! Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday - it’s okay.
touya kinomoto Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Red Velvet - Marionette - not really a fan of RV outside of their singles and a select few deep cuts but this is cute. HAIM - Falling - oh they snapped here just like with the rest of the album. Erika De Casier - Drama - i know a lot of Gaymers like ha and ha music but i really feel she is not for me. this is far from the worst here. Alexis Jordan - Happiness - yeah no. i really don't like how she sounds Kylie Minogue - Magic - while this song isn't remarkable, it does its job of setting up the vibe of the whole album. Michelle Branch - Everywhere - a classic anti-Britney song. i have nostalgia attached to it so it will rank well for me. Kesha - Cannibal - i have mentioned this a few times before but i am really not a fan of early Kesha works. doesn't help that i just find the whole song kinda annoying. Katy Perry - Roar - thought of sending this too but ATRL likes to do too much with this song or Katy in general. she is still mother and this song is a bop for me so... but still **** her for supporting that Caruso guy. Natalie Imbruglia - Torn - finding out that this is a cover every 90s child's second rite to adulthood lol. with that being said, this is a classic that is dear to me as it reminds of good days when i was younger. Mariah Carey - Emotions - my winner for this round. this just screams excellence all throughout. Amy Winehouse - Rehab - honestly if Mariah wasn't here, these would have won for me. this is a reminder that Amy was a great artist and she missed dearly. Mitski - Happy - it's hard to get into Mitski's sound but this is actually one of the better songs to get used to her. also this is miles better than half of Laurel Hell. Ciara - Goodies - i know this is a classic but unlike the other classics here, i just don't have much nostalgia attached to it. it just doesn't havebthe same recall for me as 1,2 Step or Body Party Carly Rae Jepsen - Julien - as the resident CRJ stan of the Games section, i hate that i didn't even think of this. it's one of my faves off of Dedicated and still sounds so good to this day. Lizzy McAlpine - doomsday - it's cute but cute next to gorgeous...
fiercE Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Unpopular opinion. Troye Sivan - Wild Its alright Shygirl - Woe Its alright, not for me though Kelsea Ballerini - Graveyard Its fine Madonna - Music Didn't like this at all Lianne La Havas - Bittersweet Its alright, soothing.
