BIG POP GIRLS 2021 - THE FINALE

If someone had told me a year ago I'd be giving an 11 to Halsey I'd have laughed them off the forum. But here we are...

 

Trying to decide between Taylor and Halsey for my 11, suddenly the Kayleeigh is me

 

Pretty sure this is getting my 11 for the bridge alone.

Excited for the piss poor takes and meltdowns in this thread. At least all the albums are pretty good or great.

 

I've gone through the whole playlist for the first time and I must confess, I was not expecting Halsey to laser-ray the hair off of my head. Girl Is a Gun belongs in the top 10.

 

For Your Consideration

 

While I agree that SOUR is the weakest of these albums, it's still a good to great listen.

And surely this is a dead cert for the top 5?

 

I revisited Planet Her for the first time in a while because of this rate, and while I do like it, I can't help but think the whole album is a bit too "pleasant music to mildly bop to". It's all very solid and enjoyable, but it's just a bit too smooth and radio-friendly, it feels like it's lacking some bite. Solid scores all around (I didn't rate anything below 7), but it just doesn't really reach the same heights the other albums here do.

 

Payday is a beast. Make sure it gets top 5 at the very least.

 

We need some drama in this thread. Everyone say what well-liked song they hate.

Mine is Kiss Me More.

 

I Don't Do Drugs is tortuous

Good thing it's preceded by great songs

 

Deja Vu. The lyrics are just so cringe to me, especially the Glee/Uptown Girl references. Like, I get what she was going for, but it just doesn't work.

 

Let's try this one.

gold rush is overrated as hell.

 

maybe so but give it a 10 anyway, we need to offset An*Raquel’s hating ass scores

 

Halsey over Montero??



but still
