Gonna have to extend the deadline by two or three weeks because of work

Yes yes, I know you want to have your kiis. But this is a major release by the biggest pop star in the world, not just Real Housewife on a lark. It merits serious consideration, even if the music is ultimately bad.

Might have to cancel best bits this rate

Am I the only one who doesn’t get all the fuss about “How Bad Do You Want Me?”

Respectfully, listening to an album like TLOAS, where the artist has made a genuine effort, and deciding that every track is tied for the worst music known to man, doesn’t strike as a genuine effort to engage with it. I’m not saying you need to find TLOAS good. I certainly don’t, for the most part! But to me, the purpose of a rate is to seriously consider what works and what doesn’t about it, to take each track on its own terms rather just brushing away the entire thing as a failure.

Okay! I really thought that one was salvageable.

Give “Ruin the Friendship” a 7 or 8 and then we can probably let it slide

For programming purposes, I found out I'm basically going to be working every weekend until the election, so that extension may end up being several weeks!

Wow, just got an incredible set of commentary from @Haze!

Giving everything on an album a 1, except a few songs a 2, is not serious behavior. Sorry!

I hope everyone is giving this its deserved 10s!

So many members without the mental fortitude for rate culture. We’ve become a weak society!

Another one bites the dust

This rate was supposed to be fun and it’s turning into the struggle of the century…

You still have time to participate in the rate of the year!

This would be the one-week warning, but I have to travel for work next weekend, so there will almost certainly be an extension.

Do you like anything?

A great one

Oh, I know what I'm hosting next year

Still waiting for your real TLOAS scores, by the way!
