MUSIC FOR A SUSHI RESTAURANT

 

Average score: 6.31

High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Reverie, @Norte, @Quicksand)

Low score: 1 (@a_d_22, @Virgos Groove, @creativity.)

 

 

This is the kind of delightful ‘70s funk pastiche that Bruno Mars wishes he was making! An invigorating and nonsensical love song with a blowout percussion section, “Music For a Sushi Restaurant” served as the soundtrack to an Apple AirPods commercial and then the third single from Harry’s House, with a music video featuring Harry as a squid hybrid who sings to avoid becoming supper. It debuted and peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the album’s release week, never quite growing into a major hit, though it did reach the top ten on pop radio. Perhaps the song is just a touch too odd and esoteric to become the party starter it deserved to be. The voters certainly seemed confounded by it, making “Music For a Sushi Restaurant” the first single eliminated in this rate.

 

Best bit: Those horns! Those fucking horns!

 

ATRL says…: The girls were talking! “I really wanted to like this one but god it was awful,” @a_d_22 complained. @Ewan Chaos “liked this the first time I listened to this album but WHEW the tank in quality.” @madonnas thought it had a “good instrumental but why are the vocals so quiet??” @Rev8 enjoyed the song and “the title lol.” Perhaps @Katamari summed it up best. “I can't tell if this a mess or a bop,” he wrote. (It’s a bop!) “It's never boring tho.”

I honestly think a few songs could have left before this and id even say as it was should have left before it 

 

this would have been a good song if performed by someone else maybe.

Nah that's NOT a good first impression to an album

Energetic, peppy, fun — what's the bad impression to make?

CHIRI

 

Average score: 6.34

High score: (@CBC, @Rigalo)

Low score: 1 (@jacklovesyou1, @Norte)

 

 

Swerving from a hard-hitting drum machine beat to wistful piano balladry then back again, this bonus track from the Motomami + rerelease compares the relationship between Rosalía and her fans to drugs: she’s addictive like heroin, she’ll hook you like cocaine, and sometimes she just needs a little space, kicking back and relaxing with a “Chiri,” slang for a joint.

 

Best bit: “Y duermo con el hoodie que me habías hecho/Lleva mi nombre printado en el pecho/Quería dormir y me han robado el sueño”

If not for the rerelease, it's pretty funny how long Rosalía would have gone (basically) untouched in this rate.

UN VERANO SIN TI

 

Average score: 6.34

High score: 9.5 (@supaspaz)

Low score: (@jacklovesyou1)

 

 

Bad Bunny is nursing a broken heart on the title track of Un Verano Sin Ti. He slows down the tempo and gets emotional, but he’s not completely cured of his fuckboy tendencies (“La estoy pasando bien, no te voy a mentir”). It is the summer after all – time for fun, time for the girls to get ready and party.

 

Best bit: “Mañana voy a terapia, hoy voy pa'l teteo”

@greento, I just checked your Bad Bunny scores and you were pretty generous for an album you supposedly hated.

That's 2/3 title tracks out. Where will "Motomami" end up? And can "Summer Renaissance" escape the curse?

Did everybody leave...? I feel like I'm talking to myself.

Music for a Guantanamo Trip lasting as long as it did is crazy, especially when the other songs that already left are not that bad. :rip:

LA CORRIENTE

with Tony Dize

 

Average score: 6.38

High score: 9.5 (@Virgos Groove)

Low score: (@kandicha)

 

 

This is for all my gay boys who listened to duets between male artists imagining that they were singing to each other! On this thumping reggaeton banger from Un Verano Sin Ti, Bad Bunny and fellow Puerto Rican singer Tony Dize lust after a woman who lives life on her own terms, always going against “La Corriente” – but secretly, they just want to kiss each other. “Si me sigues mirando así, te voy a besar,” Tony tells Benito, who responds, “Te voy a besar.” Release the tape!

 

Best bit: “No te vivas la película, que ella es la película y de las que no se renta”

Did someone just say As It Was next?! :biblio:

I know he is sabotaged, but whew :deadbanana: just imaginee

I know it's very hard to get you all to care about male artists, so yes, the rest of today's eliminations come from singers with coochies.
