ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted July 2, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2023 Yeah when I heard Beyoncé was sampling Donna I was like “oh I hope it’s a deeper cut like sunset people or sprint affair!” IFL is so obvious but .. with the end result can I really complain?

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 2, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2023 PURE/HONEY Average score: 8.66 High score: 10 (@305, @Soda Pop Queen, @BGKC, @Reverie, @MP2K, @Ewan Chaos, @BlackoutZone, @State of Grace., @madonnas, @Subomie, @creativity., @Norte, @Quicksand, @Ace Reject, @V3$$3L.) Low score: 4 (@byzantium) Renaissance is naturally a very gay-friendly album, but it never gets more directly faggoty than on this two-parter: “Pure,” a cunty house cut in which Beyoncé flaunts her technique and billion-dollar looks over samples of Kevin Aviance and Mike Q and Kevin JZ Prodigy, and “Honey,” a funky disco explosion dripping in vocal harmonies, which brings the track back to the ballroom by the end with a shoutout to Moi Renee’s “Miss Honey.” Best bit: the rich vocal layering on the “Honey” chorus is sublime ATRL says…: “Absolutely my favorite from the album,” @Ewan Chaos raved. “I love how menacing and delicious the first half is and how jubilant and sexy the second half is.” @Rev8 was reminded of “Blow.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandicha Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Huh? should’ve been top 5. So what’s left for Top 5 is Virgo’s Groove, Heated, America Has a Problem, El Apagón and Good Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crashed Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 20 minutes ago, supaspaz said: ALIEN SUPERSTAR Average score: 8.43 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @a_d_22, @Reverie, @4Real, @MP2K, @BlackoutZone, @State of Grace., @Rigalo, @Virgos Groove, @Crashed, @madonnas, @Achilles., @Subomie, @Quicksand, @Sanguine, @V3$$3L.) Low score: 3 (@cockatoo) A tip of the hat to whichever mad genius conceived this one, a spectacularly out of-this-world dance floor serve that might melt your brain if you think for too long about how its kaleidoscope of musical pieces came together. Consider: It is perhaps the first time in history that Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy” has been repurposed into greatness. (Foremost Poet’s “Moonraker,” Danube Dance’s “Unique” and Barbara Ann Teer’s “Black Theater” also provide vocal samples.) Or consider: The justifiably gloating lyrics are packed with bon mots – “I'm one of one, I'm number one, I'm the only one” – that will be quoted by homosexuals for years to come. And consider: Its confident rise and fall through industrial beats and celestial synths, commanding you to dance and then luring you to meditate on its relentless inventiveness as you stop to take a breath. It’s no wonder “Alien Superstar” became a standout on Renaissance, despite never getting the single treatment it deserved, even winning the ATRL Grammys for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. Best bit: “Category: bad *****, I'm thе bar” ATRL says…: “This song is incredible, but I have to admit when the AS stans were trying to act like ‘Cuff It’ wasn't a massive smash waiting to happen, I had to laugh when CI did smash,” @Ewan Chaos pettily pointed out. @madonnas called it an “avant-garde club masterpiece.” @cockatoo once again struggled to see brilliance laid out before him. “This is so overrated, I'm sorry,” he sniped. @Rev8 also “never understood the overwhelming love for this overrated song. The beginning isn't even that cute and the end is just horrid.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
