Yesss another round. I'm speeding this up because of the three week hiatus.
We have seven albums left but only six can become finalists. Today I'll listen to one more song from each album, and determine the eliminated album based on the average rankings from last round and this one. Since last round saw two songs per album, this means three songs will determine the records' fate.
_______________________________________________________________
Let's go revealing this round's competing songs!
(All of the chosen songs were randomized and won't be repeated again in the game unless an album has used all its songs)
💿 01) AMAARAE - Aquamarie Luvs Ecstasy / FOUNTAIN BABY
◼ Ohh this song gave afrobeats vibes and generally something I could hear throughout the entire record. There have been other songs that were able to stand out more than this one and the length for this track might have been excessive.
💿 02) MELANIE MARTINEZ - PLUTO / PORTALS
◼ Nice chords and lyrics. The final part was really really nice. Where were those nice tracks when this album got eliminated? "PORTALS" has been very hit or miss, but for this round it was a hit for sure.
💿 03) CHAPPELL ROAN - Guilty Pleasure / THE RISE AND FALL OF A MIDWEST PRINCESS
◼ To be the final track of the record this started off going anywhere which confused me, then changed unexpectedly but still not going anywhere, this bored me to be honest. There was nothing that convinced me was worthy listening again. Ohhh well
💿 04) HILARY DUFF - Between You And Me / DIGNITY
◼ Wait why was this kind of fun to listen to? Those xylophone-like notes were catchy and this actually has quite some different elements compared to other songs from the record in a positive way. I'm gagged LMFAO this was nice
💿 05) KESHA - Godzilla / RAINBOW
◼ LOL this was a short silly little song. I definitely didn't expect this to be the "Godzilla" song I had read while listening to other songs in the album, but I liked it. Feels like a children's song for some reason. Some "Cartoon Network" kinda thing, I liked it, it was fun and simple. The lyrics are fun too.
💿 06) FLORENCE + THE MACHINE - All This And Heaven Too / CEREMONIALS
◼ Many songs in this record managed to include the same elements in terms of vocal range but the song structure always differs in each track and for this one I was fascinated. This song felt like bouncing from one cloud to another in a big dress reaching for sunlight. So yeah I really like this.
💿 07) SUDAN ARCHIVES - Freakalizer / NATURAL BROWN PROM QUEEN
◼ Fun and groovy, I was moving all over the house. Liked the soft vocals in this, a more danceable track after some strong bops that gave more of a "car trip" vibe.

4th | CHAPPELL ROAN The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess 4.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7th | HILARY DUFF Dignity 5.3
This means Hilary Duff's "Dignity" is our sixth eliminated album. I'm so angry, I have really liked this album from start to end and it would have been a perfect finalist as well. Sadly the results have never reached high placements and that was fatal in those last rounds. It was a very close battle between Hilary and Sudan Archives and Kesha, and their close placements today made the "round 8" songs determine everyone's fate.
This album felt really cute and nostalgic, one of the only from this season I'd actually buy a CD of to feel the memories from the past. She slayed since the first round and although I'll never know if she'd slay in the last round too, I'll assume she would've. Thanks to Delete2544 for signing up!
The final will be divided in three different rounds that will work like this:
Round 1: 6 albums - 3 songs each - 2 eliminations
Round 2: 4 albums - 5 songs each - 2 eliminations
Round 3: 2 albums - 10 songs each - Winner reveal
That's all for now see ya next round, maybe tomorrow, maybe in 100 years. Who knows?
