glitch Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 Wait Cool About It was one of the half decent songs... Summertime's close was nails on a chalkboard...

Ewan Chaos Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 Hey Driver being out so early is unsurprising... BUT INCREDIBLY CRIMINAL! 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!

The War and Treaty Average: 6.22 High Score: 10 (@Ewan Chaos) Low score: 1 (@Alldeezy) Another howl of dissatisfaction with the musician's lonely life on the road. Backed by husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty, Zach Bryan imagines returning home before his whole life passes him by. Best bit: "All the love I've had worth givin'/Was all spent on my songs" ATRL says…: "I know the Kacey song gets the most praise, and it's great, but this is both the best song on the album and the best collab," @Ewan Chaos praised. "I just love songs that feel like the group went into a room and had the most flawless one-take jam session. Quite possibly one of my favorite choruses of 2023." @a_d_22, on the other hand, complained that "all my friends love this damn song but I honestly find it very annoying." I thought this was one of his better ones, def more memorable/catchy.
MP2K Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 Those Amaarae songs were cute but there's more exciting songs from her still left. I'm actually shocked at how many Zach Byran songs are left, thought her would be given the boygenius treatment. Ready for the REAL competition to start

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 2, 2024 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 2, 2024 OKLAHOMAN SON Average: 6.41 High Score: 10 (@Born to Run) Low score: 2 (@Alldeezy) The final track on Zach Bryan provides a sort of closing statement that wraps together many of the album’s major themes – returning home after his discharge from the military, his collapsing marriage, his friends who died, whether he’s foolish for chasing music stardom instead of settling down. As Zach monologues to himself, seemingly swerving between his inner thoughts and snippets of conversation and even the perspectives of other people in his life, he reaches a conclusion that can be read as either self-deprecating or self-loathing: “You can't hide where you're from,” he sings. “You'll always be the Oklahoman son.” Best bit: “How'd you fall for a man I've grown to hate?”
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 2, 2024 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 2, 2024 I love how Zach clears his throat at the beginning of the song and leaves in those sort of extraneous studio noises on many of the tracks. It adds to whole vibe for me.
Suilen Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Was snoozing at that point, so the rating was based on Oklahoma's homophobia. 1

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 2, 2024 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 2, 2024 HOLY ROLLER ft. Sierra Ferrell Average: 6.42 High Score: 10 (@creativity.) Low score: 2 (@Alldeezy) The rare light moment on an emotionally heavy album, this duet with Americana singer Sierra Ferrell – entirely sung synchronously, rather than trading lines or verses – is about a love so good that it’s spiritual. Best bit: “There's a place for good rest in my warm arms, honey”
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 2, 2024 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 2, 2024 The next one is not from Zach Bryan!

Hyune Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 I really gave Zach all my low points ay I just hate country that much
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 2, 2024 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 2, 2024 SMOKE (REPRISE) Average: 6.47 High Score: 10 (@4Real) Low score: 2 (@Alldeezy) Victoria Monét wants to get high before fucking on what is functionally an extended outro to the opening track from Jaguar II. (It was even used in the music video for “Smoke.”) Groovy, but ultimately inessential as its own piece. Best bit: “Let me hit that pipe before the pipe” ATRL says…: “I'm guessing the main song is the other one xD” @Alldeezy smirked. @a_d_22 called it “a good reprise.”

Suilen Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 (edited) Cute. I guess she was aiming for another We Might Even Be Falling in Love (Interlude), the success of which still baffles me. Edited May 2, 2024 by Suilen
creativity. Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Gave that Zach song a 10 bc their voices sound so good together. How could you not! He also got a general +2 from me bc nothing hotter than a military man 🫡 1
