Morning his place, burnt toast, Sunday


16. You Are In Love average score- 7.08


they are in love: Jonjo (8.5)
not so in love: blacksquare (6), Jordan Lee (6), Nick F1 (6)

Out in last place is You Are In Love, a whistful number that rounds out the album next to fan-favourite New Romantics (stay tuned to see how that does). The song received no score lower than a 6 but also no score lower than an 8.5 which leaves it in final position with a still highly respectable score of 7.08. Overall, I think I would have placed this last as well as it’s the one I go back to least on the album despite being a lovely song when I do listen through.

Deserved? Stay tuned as we enter top 15! What do you think will be out next?

Tossing, turning, struggle through the night for someone new


15. This Love average score- 7.5


their love: Jade (10), Jonjo (8.5), Calum (8.5)
not so much their love: Blacksquare (6), NickF1 (6)

Interesting to see pretty much the same people giving the same highest and lowest scores as last time as This Love follows in the same vein as You Are In Love in it’s light tone and subtle production. The song does however gain another member in the highest score department from Calum who also scored it an 8.5 meaning it just beats off You Are In Love and manages to score a 7.5. The scores already are pretty high and impressive, particularly for the “worst” songs on the album so look forward to some even more impressive scores during this rate!

We’re a crooked love, in a straight line down


14. I Wish You Would average score- 7.54


wished it had done better: George.keh (10), Jonjo (8.5)
wished it had stayed as a demo: blacksquare (6), HauntedHaus (6), NickF1 (6)

And I Wish You Would, one of my personal favourites, leaves us at number 14 sad.gif I was the highest scorer for the song scoring it a 10 compared to everyone else’s votes of no-more than 8.5. I can see why it does leave us at this position however as the production and lyrics aren’t quite as standout compared to some of the other tracks still to come and there’s no real stand-out vocal moments on the track as well. It does however have one of the most full-out 80s structures of every one of the songs and really sums up the album imo.

In 13th place we have our first single departing us, any guesses on what it could be?

If you live like that you live with ghosts

13. Bad Blood average score- 7.71


bandaids won’t fix their bulletholes: ...readyforit (10), SamJudd (10), Jade (10)
they got bad blood with this song: blacksquare (5), HauntedHaus (5), NickF1 (5)

Our first single drops out at 13th place! I would have personally ranked this as my worst on the album and therefore definitely the lowest single oops. The score received a few high scores of 10 however a heap of 5 scores dragged the average score of this down in the end. The song for me would have benefitted from more melody as her vocals sound a little grating at times on this for me however the Kendrick verses really did enhance this song and the video was a marvel so I can’t fault that. Did you expect this to come this low and what will be next out?

'Bad Blood' only 13th ohmy.gif wow that's a shock! It was initially one of my least favourites on the album but it clicked with me so much when the remix dropped wub.gif

Thankfully. Bottom 2 of the album for me along with SIO. Both incredibly basic in comparison to the rest of the album. I feel like they don't fit on the album. Plus the message of BB is annoying.

But yeah, surprised to see it out as soon as 13th though wub.gif

I thought Bad Blood would be the first single to go.

It’s not really seen as being amongst her best. I loved it at the time and love the video. But she has done better and some of the albums aged better so I can take 13th for it.

Everybody here wanted something more, searching for a sound we hadn’t heard before

12. Welcome To New York avg score- 7.92


highest scores: Doug (10), ...readyforit (10), SamJudd (10)
lowest scores: blacksquare (5), HauntedHaus (6), Calum (6)

Coming in 12 place is album opener, Welcome To New York. It fits about right in this countdown for me as it definitely is not one of the highlights of the album but a fun opening number that does set the tone throughout, despite better yet to come. This is the last song in this countdown to have a score lower than 8 (despite being pretty close to that 8 average).

Welcome to New York is summed up well here.

Fun opener but with better still to come! I think the same about I Forgot That You Existed from Lover as well.

I enjoy how much of a perfect fit 'Welcome To New York' is as the album's introductory moment, but it's simply 'good' in an album of general excellence.
