greento Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suilen Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 15 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 15 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greento Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glitch Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
