Got to go to this



Every artist was amazing live and hearing Unholy live was quite spectacular.

Each artist on the bottom rows performed 3 to 4 songs each.

The top 3 did 8 + songs

AJR puts on hell of a show and Ava Max was incredible

I honestly hadn't heard a song from her until I heard the Flume song earlier this year (sirens) but have listened to some since then. I like it and now I have an album to look forward to.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


“Nursery rhymes with swear words” is my most loathed trend in pop music since Fight Song but I do in fact gotta hand it to the brazenness of Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
GAYLE is the most blatant industry plant since Tramp Stamps and its genuinely funny watching them try and be authentic.

I think the main giveaway is that moments after hearing that song for the first time I saw like seven different versions of it online, as if it was being quoted and reuploaded for maximum SEO.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I will die on the “abcdefu is trashy fun” hill (I also really liked ur just horny for similar reasons) but it did inspire some of the most heinous music I’ve ever heard so I understand the hate for it. u love u is basically a war crime and the revelation that the same person also made that Victoria’s Secret song was like learning that Elon Musk also kills animals with no remorse

edit: similar vibes but from people who are capable of better:

Most of these songs I broadly get Todd's point but I don't mind-I'm not in love with Music For A Sushi Restraunt, I Like You (A Happier Song), Big Energy and I'm Good (Blue), I absolutely get some of the critiques, but like, I don't hate 'em.

Harry styles song is just bland

I like you for me is the only odd one out. It’s mostly fine for me.

Big dick energy and I’m good just had the laziest samples and generally just sound like poo poo. Insanely lazy and uninspired and just boring as gently caress. Why would I listen to any of these songs (or super freaky girl or first class) when I can just listen to the originals?

Samples lifted wholesale except now with swear words is just so lazy and cheap sounding to me. If the songs sound catchy at all then it has everything to do with the original work and not the awful lyrics and bad production grafted on top of it.

New Miley is a bop, if a little low energy relative to my favorite of her eras (BANGERZ and Plastic Hearts).

Edit: gleaned from a Reddit post: “the lyrics respond to the chorus of "when i was your man" by bruno mars, and the chord progression/riff is a sample/interpolation of "i will survive" by gloria gaynor”

IMO Fall Out Boy's last decent album was their 2nd one which came out like 18 years ago, but if you enjoy what they're doing nowadays, here's them doing it again.

I love all of FOB’s albums up to Save Rock and Roll but that one was definitely a precursor to whatever they’ve been doing since. Which, yeah, this new song is definitely that. Not bad, but I very much struggle to care.

I was cautiously optimistic when I caught an interview on the radio where they were like "Now that we're old we really need to have a good idea and want to spend time in the studio." I think I prefer it to everything they've put out in the last decade, but that's just saying that boring > aggressively bad.
