Suilen Posted October 13 Posted October 13 I think I underrated GAME a bit, that was a proto-GUILTY moment. I blame whatever Nishino album I was listening to before that. Curaga sent his kiss of death to NEVER EVER, but it'd be nice to see it snatch despite that.

AshleyLovescats887 Posted October 13 Posted October 13 This is so fun to watch, I am rooting for the lonesome underdog 'RAINBOW' track

Invisibility Posted October 14 Posted October 14 6 hours ago, Graves said: 6th Single Track #10 on LOVEppears HIGH SCORE: 10 x 7 (Graves, Kyle-x, Invisibility, UrMom, blueberries, Maresia, AMIT) LOW SCORE: 3 x 1 (AvadaKedavra) HOST SCORE: 10 I dunno about you girls, but to me WHATEVER has always been the centerpiece of LOVEppears. Perhaps it isn't the biggest hit on the album, nor the most remembered, but it is the most artistically sound. Look, I get some of you find her vocals annoying at parts of this song, and I don't say that you're wrong! ...but, those little issues just don't bother me enough to not enjoy everything else about this marvelous track. That nasty sounding synth that bounces underneath the entire track is everything, and the rising inflection on the pre-chorus gets me so hype every damn time. Turn the lights down low and just bump to this song like you were meant to. LOVEppears is a dance album first and foremost, and no song on the album represents this more than WHATEVER, in all of its seven minute club mix glory. Yes, I rated the album version and any of the girls with taste did too. The '90s was the decade in which all of the popgirls were begging remixers to give their singles the club mix treatment - there was an art to these mixes. The fact that this mix was done by a Japanese DJ too, Izumi 'D.M.X' Miyazaki, gives it a more full and legitimate feel than a lot of the tinny "club" tracks avex gave to their other artists during the decade. WHATEVER was a real club track, not just a cover of a bad Eurobeat song. WHATEVER was Ayu's first foray into the top five of the singles chart. It came out only a month after her debut album had been released too - talk about a sudden switch-up. Though not one of her biggest hits, WHATEVER is a very important moment in Ayu's career. It was an early example of her ability to be a genre chameleon and a risk-taker. The video also... exists. I don't know that the straw bangs and the straitjacket was her best look, but I digress. Ayu doesn't seem that fond of this one? At least the Version M. She has only performed the (inferior) Version J in every outing since 2000. Ew. What's up with that, Ayu? Suilen: too many variants, this is entering the Taylor Swift territory. Anyway, I think I liked the album version the best. Kyle-x: The way she stuck this 7 minute version in the middle of the album and still made it work whew. The switch up with this single is crazy, I know the girls were shook when she dropped this as the lead single. It's good they opted to use "version M" as the definitive version, even though "version J" is still quite good. This is where the random white kids being in her videos started… but it was very interesting PV anyway. Invisibility: Version J is a cute girl, I appreciate the opera rock kinda rework. But Version M.... oh *****... An electro/dance/trance diva was BORN. A legion of Ayupans dressed as astronauts and Avex buying Armin van Buuren studio time/demos for remixes decades before Terminal was even conceived... I LOVE this song. The dramatics, the woo's, the relentless, pulsating beat and the strings fading into and out of existence. It's one of the most unique songs in her discog in the best way. Curaga: This instrumental is an absolute lightning strike. I really love the verses, but the "wow wow wow" part kinda ruins it for me... Still, I put it relatively high on my list AMIT: version J has always been my favorite, but the album version is good as well and grew on me in no small part thanks to miss suilen. Fevesy: Deduced a .5 cuz the WOooooooWs were kinda annoying. 12/17 Ayu Rate voters... mental institution... crazy... b****es need straightjacket WHATEVER is in no way, shape or form the 4th worst proper track in LOVEppears, what's going on!!
Invisibility Posted October 14 Posted October 14 (edited) The way my lowest five scores remaining are all from LOVEppears. Much like Alex trying to recoup the Lady Dynamite video budget, I lost! Edited October 14 by Invisibility

"Wasting my 0" as a certain squirrel would put it. 6 hours ago, Graves said: Her vocals on End roll, whew So beautifully sung! I definitely prefer the dance tracks on LOVEppears, but I never skip this one. 5 hours ago, Graves said: Thinking about adding a director's cut to the ending, leaking a version of the results with no Curaga scores... for science. This would be interesting to see actually... The way 11/20 of my 10s have dropped off already, it makes me feel like my individual scores don't affect the rankings that much and only serve to entertain y'all/dig myself into a hole

Maybe it's no. 1 in the results without Suilen.
