PRINCESS GOING DIGITAL

 

Average: 7.18

High Score: 10 (@Ewan Chaos, @MP2K, @Reverie)

Low score: 2 (@kandicha)

 

 

Amaarae is ready to stop hoeing around and settle down with a new infatuation on this skittering club track from Fountain Baby, which is reminiscent of one of those great Neptunes productions from the early aughts.

 

Best bit: "Move when I move, I like it, baby" – and we do!

 

ATRL says…: "Best song on the album but it's still not very good," said @a_d_22, who only gave it a 4.

What the actual **** :biblio: This is the best song in the rate um I guess I called this karma on myself celebrating the Livvy lashings

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.”

SO AMERICAN

 

Average: 7.21

High Score: 9.5 (@Ace Reject)

Low score: 6 (@a_d_22, @MP2K, @Achilles., @Suilen)

 

 

The Guts (Spilled) re-release ends with this peppy devotional to British actor Louis Partridge, which races like Olivia Rodrigo’s heart and peaks with an incredibly catchy bridge where she wonders, “I don't wanna assume this stuff/But ain't it love?” It’s the highest-ranking track in the rate not to receive a 10.

 

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.

No one has anything to say after #realmusic was sabotaged by the usual offending crowd!

Two songs with American in their title are two songs too many.

Hilarious in retrospect that I thought this lineup could get more than 17 people to participate.

:deadbanana: 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

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 :michael:

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.

Very true, but that used to be the draw of these rates. This Was 2015 had Carly Rae Jepsen next to Kendrick Lamar next to Sleater-Kinney. A different era!

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 

Posted

Even the other one. The only 2 songs on the album that were brilliant this low

 

:weeps:

 

Only 2 more 10s left but know those 2 will probably be out before the top 20

That switch was interesting, I guess she could end Olivia in her own field if she tried.

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

COOL ABOUT IT

 

Average: 6.36

High Score: 10 (@a_d_22)

Low score: 1 (@creativity.)

 

 

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 💀

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!

They would've given 10s to Zach's album and 1s to everything else so not sure you would've wanted that 💀
