Suilen Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Why is she scared of her guitar? Because the Teardrops On My Guitar singer might sue her for using the same instrument as her? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 27 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 27 LOGICAL Average: 5.00 High Score: 9 (@4Real) Low score: 1 (@Alldeezy, @Ewan Chaos, @creativity., @Born to Run) The lowest-ranking standard track from Guts is a journey from denial to revelation, as Olivia Rodrigo gradually comes to terms with how she fooled herself about a relationship and accepts that she cannot change the guy. Best bit: “I'm sure that girl is really your friend/Our problems are all solvable” ATRL says…: “It’s ok but the metaphors aren’t as clever as she thinks,” @a_d_22 wrote. @Alldeezy “could not stand this song and I still had to skip it for the 2nd listen.” @Ewan Chaos was enraged. “THIS is the song she chose to be the longest on the album LMFAOOOOO,” he ranted. “Can she PLEASE stop doing ballads or at least cut it down to like 2 ballads on the album???” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverie Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Listening to the album front to back made me not hate this one, maybe cuz after a lot of her angsty rock songs which I definitely liked more but had me wanting her to just sing for a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suilen Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Logical was meh to me, and some of the lines are a choice, but I didn't expect it to be this panned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 27 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 27 I think that might be the most 1's that any song got in this rate. Nearly a quarter of the ballots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 27 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 27 THE GRUDGE Average: 5.02 High Score: 9 (@a_d_22) Low score: 1 (@Born to Run) On this piano ballad from Guts, Olivia Rodrigo nurses a grudge against an ex for whom she feels an undying love even though he betrayed her. As the song faintly echoes her breakthrough hit “Driver’s License,” she plays out imagined arguments in their head, reveling in the fantasies of finally getting even. Best bit: “It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong” ATRL says…: “The resurgence of the bananis and avocadis voice we thought she got rid of oh my this is horrible,” @Ewan Chaos cringed.

Suilen Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Oh wow... Well, my main issue with the song is that it doesn't go hard enough for such a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 27 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 27 WITHOUT YOU WITHOUT THEM Average: 5.03 High Score: 9 (@a_d_22) Low score: 1 (@Alldeezy, @4Real, @creativity.) Boygenius sets the stage for The Record on this brief opening track, an a cappella treatise on the interconnectedness of artist and audience – how hearing someone’s story makes you a part of it and it a part of your own story. Best bit: the triple-stacked harmonies are beautiful ATRL says...: “Random but this kinda reminds me of Sleeping Beauty,” @glitch observed. @Ewan Chaos noted “the ‘60s influence (derogatory).” @a_d_22, who gave it a 9, said it “would be a 10 if it were a full song.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suilen Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 WYWT was among the weakest for me. Also re: The Grudge, I know that it's supposed to be about a relationship, but 'You built me up to watch me fall / You have everything, and you still want more' goes so well with a certain situation, so I had to add an extra point.

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 27 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 27 TRADESMAN Average: 5.26 High Score: 9 (@Achilles.) Low score: 2 (@Into The Void, @Alldeezy) The lament of fame is a rite of passage for music superstars and Zach Bryan has gotten popular enough that he takes his turn on “Tradesman,” his first eliminated track. There are no complaints about paparazzi or nasty rumors to be found here, though. Instead, Zach aches for a simpler life: earning an honest living with his hands and enjoying “the old feelin' of a fivе o'clock smile” at the end of a hard day. It’s authenticity drag from a man who quit show business any time he wants. Best bit: “The only callous I've grown is in my mind” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch! There's probably a lot on this album that could be interpreted ambigously that way, or is perhaps intended to carry a double meaning.

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 27 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 27 LEONARD COHEN Average: 5.31 High Score: 9 (@a_d_22) Low score: 1 (@kandicha) An anecdotal ode to friendship, based on the true story of Phoebe Bridgers being so excited to play Iron and Wine’s “The Trapeze Song” for her bandmates that they couldn’t even interrupt to tell her she was driving in the wrong direction. The second verse quotes “Anthem” by the titular Leonard Cohen – “There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in” – to highlight the theme that good emerges from bad situations. Best bit: “I might like you less now that you know me so well” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
