I think it's the music! I'd say the genre as a whole for myself too! 

Sis. What about it?

I still will try and send! I'm just finishing rating Amaarae, then I need to do a full listen to Victoria Monet. Olivia is done. I'll do a quick relisten to boygenius and Zach Bryan and then I should be ready to send.

I might need an extra day due to being busy finishing up my rate, thought that I could do some definitive listens in the meantime, but it didn't work out.

That's fine. I'll be waiting for at least a few more people now.

I don't think I've ever faced rebellion quite like this in one of my This Was rates? And I had Courtney Barnett in the 2015 edition!

In 2015 I was a freshman with nothing better to do than sit through anything. Now my ears reject and I have to listen to them! Also I have no recollection if I liked that album or not and gave it a very brief skim rn but I found more signs of life on it

Oh, I liked her album! But she's a Quirky Girl and got kind of dragged. Is it any coincidence she's also a lesbian?

 

 

I can't believe you were only a freshman in 2015. I was already several years out of grad school at that point...

I mean, I don't deny that some of those lugubrious Boygenius ballads are skips. But they've got really lovely stuff, too! "$20" and "Not Strong Enough" and "Emily I'm Sorry" and "Satanist."

And "Anti-Curse!"

 

It's a better album than the album that beat it for AOTY!

sent!!
 

boygenius is easily the best album here, I hope my scores are enough to save at least a few of its songs from being tanked.

 

I think I only gave one 10 in the whole rate and it's to Olivia.

That's not a very difficult accomplishment to achieve

Just submitted, some thoughts:

 

Enjoyed Zach more than I was expecting to, but could've done with it being about 75% of the length.

 

Boygenius was expectedly painful whining, but there were a couple of half decent songs. None of them were songs I'd revisit though.

 

Amarrae and Victoria were the standouts for me. When Amarrae's album first came out her voice really annoyed me, but the songs have grown on me a lot since then.

 

Olivia was not as bad as I remembered but the spilled tracks were largely a waste of time imo (apart from Obsessed).

As I feel my age slowly (but not actually yet I don't think age is dramatic like that at all) creeping up on me being born in the boomer of the zoomers years I love it when people say this to me

 

Also Amaarae is speculated? queer? And Victoria was talking about dating Kehlani last year so maybe the indie girls just need to step it up

I'm preemptively declaring that we need justice for "Girl I've Always Been"
