ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 4 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 4 COME HOME TO GOD Average: 7.19 High Score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Alldeezy, @4Real, @Reverie) Low score: 1 (@a_d_22) A soaring rock-inflected banger, Fountain Baby’s closing track inverts the inherent religiosity – and implicit homophobia – of its title. The god in question is Amaarae herself, beckoning her stripper girlfriend home for some supernaturally good cunnilingus. Best bit: just try not to chant along to “And she want it, want it” ATRL says…: @a_d_22 thought it had a “horrible instrumental and the song is just bad, really annoying.” @Alldeezy “was worried when I saw the song name but it’s probably the 2nd best song on the album. Didn't expect her to be kinda rocky.”

Best bit: “Oh God, I'm gonna marry him/If he keeps this shit up/I might just be in lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love” ATRL says…: “Really fun track and would love more like this on her next record,” @Ewan Chaos wrote.

Most people I know love Victoria and I knew I wanted to participate for her and Amaarae alone but I guess there wasn't anyone to pull in the crowd here
greento Posted May 4 Posted May 4 3 minutes ago, supaspaz said: The absolute shock of the rate to me. Thought it would get dragged for filth. It's easily one of her best songs, and I'm pretty sure it's a fan favourite. I think you're in the minority with not liking it

I think the lack of participants is due to the spectrum of music involved. You can't really get more polarising than boygenius to amaarae to zach Bryan to Olivia Rodrigo.

This Was 2015 had Carly Rae Jepsen next to Kendrick Lamar next to Sleater-Kinney. A different era!
Alldeezy Posted May 5 Posted May 5 2 hours ago, supaspaz said: SEX, VIOLENCE, SUICIDE Average: 7.06 High Score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Alldeezy, @Ace Reject, @Born to Run) Low score: 2 (@a_d_22, @creativity.) Voter reaction to this musical saga of a brawling couple was nearly as dichotomous as the song itself, which begins as a trippy plea to a moody lover whose "looks could kill" like cancer or Ted Bundy before exploding into a punk temper tantrum. Despite tying for the most 10's of any track outside the top ten, nearly a third of the scores for "Sex, Violence, Suicide" were below 5, dragging it down to the middle of the pack. Best bit: "Don't care 'bout what I'm asking you/Just ******* tell me, 'Yes'" ATRL says…: "I love the instrumental," @Alldeezy raved. "Was just about to say it needs more but then it picks up. I love it." @glitch, on the other hand, recoiled from "the whiplash I got when this song switched up." Shoulda been top 10
Alldeezy Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Even the other one. The only 2 songs on the album that were brilliant this low Only 2 more 10s left but know those 2 will probably be out before the top 20

Can't wait to see what she does next era Just now, supaspaz said: ANTI-CURSE Average: 7.12 High Score: 9.5 (@supaspaz) Low score: 5.5 (@Ewan Chaos) An astonishing recollection of Julien Baker's near-drowning experience at a Malibu beach while on a writing trip with Boygenius. As she regains her bearings amid the crashing waves and returns to shore with a newfound clarity, the band unleashes a barrage of drums and electric guitar and "Anti-Curse" transcends. Best bit: "Tried to be a halfway decent friend/Wound up a bad comedian" This is criminal. The remaining Boy songs all should have made it past the remaining Zach's

One of six Grammy nominations that Boygenius received this year was Best Alternative Music Performance for this Simon & Garfunkel-interpolating strummer where Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers each take a verse recounting an excruciating reunion with an ex. Released as a single last fall, with a surreal music video about a woman and her dog, "Cool About It" was a moderate hit, reaching #34 on alternative radio and #2 on the adult alternative format. Best bit: "Tellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing/Even though we know it isn't true" ATRL says…: "Why am I getting emotional at a boygenius song…" @glitch asked. finally made my way back and how the hell did this only get a 6.36 istg this app is deaf 💀

We should have asked @a_d_22's friends to submit scores so it could have been at least a bit higher. The RIGHT Amaarae song left first (not counting intro) but don't need more of her stuff to leave for a while. Wait I should have scrolled down, Wine should have stayed just a touch longer! Awww Summertime's Close... good song. Cool With You feat Jamie Spears was one of the better boygenius songs. I would have expected it to be the 2nd-last song of theirs to leave! They would've given 10s to Zach's album and 1s to everything else so not sure you would've wanted that 💀 2
