Sorry about last night! I can't believe we got screwed by an update just to make the site uglier. Anyway, let me finish the last three from this set.

OTRO ATARDECER

ft. The Marías

 

Average score: 7.50

High score: 10 (@4Real, @State of Grace., @Ace Reject)

Low score: 2 (@Quicksand)

 

 

The highest-ranking album track from Un Verano Sin Ti is this dreamy indie-pop jam about fantasizing of running into an old lover on the beach, downing a couple of bottles of wine and skipping another sunset to explore each other bodies’ again. “Otro Atardecer” is a duet with the band The Marías, whose lead singer María Zardoya, a Puerto Rican expat, takes the bridge in an exceedingly rare moment of English on the album.
 
Best bit: “Si la vida me da de nuevo el placer/Voy a volverte a besar como aquella vez que el sol se escondió/Mientras la noche llegaba/No sé qué sucedió pero me perdí en tu mirada” is a lovely image
 
ATRL says…: “I love the Marias's album from 2021 and this was a nice collaboration!” @Ewan Chaos gushed.

Okay, I am simply not interested in doing these by myself. When are you all actually on this site?

I’m here now!

 

I think BB is just hard to remember his songs but this was the second best female vocal collab (bomba > Maria’s > buscabulla rip)

Delirio de Grandeza, Tití Me Preguntó, Move, Thique, Snooze, F2F shouldn't be outlasting these recent eliminations

PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA

 

Average score: 7.53

High score: 10 (@Reverie, @4Real, @Crashed, @Subomie, @Taemira, @Ace Reject, @V3$$3L.)

Low score: 1 (@jacklovesyou1, @Norte)

 

 

Beyoncé briefly stops the party on Renaissance for this loving tribute to Jay-Z. Becky with the good hair and elevator squabbles now behind them, she recounts all the little things that make him a good partner – his emotional transparency, his willingness to listen when she’s had a rough day – though the sultry soul groove suggests they’re not a couple who has fallen into platonic complacency. “Plastic Off the Sofa,” a sweet metaphor for that stage deep into a relationship when you’re comfortable enough to embrace each other flaws and all, won the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance.

 

Best bit: “It's the way you want one more kiss after you said you were leaving”

 

ATRL says…: @madonnas waved it off as “just not as good as the rest.”

No take your time! At this point, I gave most of the songs left really high scores so I'm asking for 7s and 8s to leave :skull: 

 

POTS isn't a fave on Rennie but I prefer it over a few tracks left.

I feel like we're stumbling toward a climax, because this has been a mess but the last one is going to eliminate one of the albums.

MAROON

 

Average score: 7.54

High score: 10 (@305, @a_d_22, @dooart, @byzantium, @State of Grace., @Virgos Groove, @Norte, @Quicksand, @Taemira)

Low score: 1 (@CBC, @madonnas)

 

 

Well, it’s l’over. The first album eliminated from the rate is shockingly Midnights, with this ambient tale of a New York love affair’s rise and fall its final track standing. Red has always symbolized the most powerful emotions for Taylor, but the shades she invokes here – burgundy, scarlet, ruby – are darker and more sedate, as her early passion withers from the neglect of long distance. “Maroon” debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the historic release week when the album occupied the entire top ten.

 

Best bit: “The rust that grew bеtween telephones/The lips I used to call home/So scarlet, it was maroon”

 

ATRL says…: “This song is grandiose nothingness,”  @madonnas grumbled. @byzantium shared his overall thoughts on Midnights, which he considered “a very chill yet emotionally potent record. It’s probably my second favorite overall to Motomami.”

Meh.  I think there was one song on Harry’s house I liked more than midnights, but as it was isn’t better than all of midnights 

 

not like it matters that much, it’s all mid at best.  
 

seriously, midnights did such a huge blow to Taylor’s credibility to me
