ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 4, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 4, 2023 KEEP DRIVING Average score: 5.10 High score: 9 (@Quicksand) Low score: 1 (@a_d_22, @4Real, @MP2K, @creativity.) In case it wasn’t clear yet where this rate is headed, the countdown will just “Keep Driving” through Harry’s House, with this deceptively sunny metaphor about a couple beginning to notice the cracks in their relationship getting the boot next. Best bit: “We held darkness in withheld clouds”
creativity. Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 I tried to give 1s to the Harry songs that were genuinely awful and reserved my 2s for the songs that were just boring. Nice to see my 1s leave first
State of Grace. Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Not only one song above 9. when more than half of Ren/Motomami deserve that Good start so far

Hairy Hole is one of the worst pop albums I’ve listened to in years so very pleased to see it go As someone who actually enjoys a lot of Harry's music, I think he'll become a much more interesting artist when he gets into some hairy holes and finds a boyfriend of his own. It would give him something to say! 1
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 4, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 4, 2023 A new album up next! Who will take the hit?

It would give him something to say! The thing is, I’m not a Harry hater! I absolutely love some of his songs (Sign of the Times, watermelon sugar) but his albums are filled with bland ballads that drive me crazy. I agree that him becoming gay would lead to more interesting music, but I firmly believe he’s 100% straight, unfortunately
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 4, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 4, 2023 VIGILANTE SHIT Average score: 5.10 High score: 10 (@Soda Pop Queen, @Taemira) Low score: 1 (@Ewan Chaos, @BlackoutZone, @Norte) Is Taylor a convincing femme fatale? Not particularly. But she tries so hard on this simmering revenge fantasy from Midnights that it becomes a camp artifact far more interesting than at least half of that slog of an album. Surely there a few boring bonus tracks “Vigilante Shit” could have beaten. Best bit: “Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man” becoming a catchphrase for delusional white women everywhere ATRL says…: “Forgot how bad this song was " @Ewan Chaos moaned. “Is this for the Rep stans or something?” @cockatoo pointed out that “every time she tries to sound ‘bad,’ it comes across as so tryhard.” @madonnas just laughed and enjoyed himself: “lol at least this song’s funny.” 1
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 4, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 4, 2023 "Vigilante Shit" is so unintentionally hilarious! How could this be your least favorite from Midnights? 1
4Real Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Taylor has worse songs in here Edited June 4, 2023 by 4Real
State of Grace. Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Worst song on the album and a 5 average is fitting. But should have been higher than some other HH songs.

creativity. Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Two thoughts 1) there was a tweet where someone overlayed Vigilante Sht on the horrific bedroom scene from Terrifier 2 and it made me cackle, wish I could find it 2) the performance at the Eras Tour was fun and sultry but also 3 hours into the show and I was exhausted, so I didn’t really get much out of it
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 4, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 4, 2023 MATILDA Average score: 5.22 High score: 10 (@Norte) Low score: 1 (@a_d_22, @Ewan Chaos, @madonnas, @creativity., @Sanguine) Falling somewhere between Billy Joel and Ed Sheeran, this lilting ballad – which jumps fluently from acoustic guitar to piano and back – draws inspiration from the troubled upbringing of a friend, who is disguised as Matilda Wormwood, the beloved telekinetic bookworm and family abuse victim created by Roald Dahl. Though not a single, “Matilda” was one of four tracks from Harry’s House to debut in the top ten of Billboard Hot 100 upon the album’s release, reaching #9. Best bit: “You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own” ATRL says…: “Maybe a bit too overhated in the fanbase?” @Rev8 offered. @Ewan Chaos apologized to “Matilda ‘Oh yes I love to read’ Wormwood SWEETIE!” @madonnas felt “there’s really no reason for music like this to exist anymore. It’s been done 10012734891274021x.”
Reverie Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Oh wow everyone is so much harsher than I am now! But it's all deserved 1
