  1. Really impressive soundscape and cinematography but so many flaws for me. The biggest one was the decision to cast every single A-list movie star going. I saw a comparison to LOTR which, when first released, had a small handful of stars but the film made unknown people into stars because they were perfectly cast. This did the opposite - it threw in every big name in Hollywood just for the sake of it. I didn't see Athena, I saw Zendaya. I didn't see Helen of Troy, I saw Lupita etc etc. Nolan could've cast actors better suited to these historical figures rather than ticking off all the big seat fillers. I didn't once feel like I was transported to Ancient Greece because it was so blatantly Hollywood. Some cast members were great, don't get me wrong - I think Hathaway was the runaway performance and Holland worked too (and Pattinson to some extent). I found some scenes incredibly underbaked too. Cerce scene was phenomenal but a 10 second conversation of "aww please turn my friends back to human" and she was like "ok cool, sorry 'bout that, sure x". I'd probably give it a 7 out of 10. I was blown away but some of the cinema, but ultimately it was too big a tale to tell in 3 hours and a TV series or a trilogy may have given the legendary tale more justice and a more inspired cast.
  2. "Do I have your attention?" 09. Cannibal 9.40 10. ATTENTION! (feat. Slayyyter & Rose Gray) 9.30 First out in the top 10 it is a bonus track from Kesha's latest album. The banger features two rising stars and demands attention. The song came with a competition to write a new verse to the song and have it recorded. One of the most recent songs to be released it has managed the mammoth feat of making it to the top 10 - is it recency bias or will this go down as an all-time Kesha classic? We also lose the highest rated album track in Cannibal! From the extended album of the same name, the now Halloween staple was the album's second promotional single. Certified platinum in the US, the song is about Kesha's hungry desire for her men, with a dark twist. Featuring some controversial lyrics (shoutout to Jeffrey Dahmer) the song is an explosive introduction to the album.
  3. Going for Poker Face! I enjoy it more right now.
  4. This is so iconic haha! The impact of this music video continues.
  5. Sorry if this is a silly question but with the new versions of Love Sensation getting the majority of the streams, will they contribute to the album's total streams/chart position? The Kylie version isn't on the album so how does it work?
  6. Sorry for the delay, I was abroad! Going away again in a few days but will try and get this done. Two INCREDIBLE songs there - the former is easily one of her best ever album tracks and the latter one of her best singles. Both deserved top 10
  7. "We're made of stars, we're up in space" 11. Your Love is My Drug 9.30 12. All That Matters (The Beautiful Life) 8.95 A personal favourite now and a stupendously strong position for an album track! All That Matters is an anthemic stomper and one of the final songs written for the Warrior album. It is about stopping and realising that life is beautiful even when caught up in stress and the mundane aspects of it. The heavenly vocals and celestial lyrics make the song soar super high and it has beaten out many of her big hits - it is also your favourite Warrior album track! Just missing the top 10, perhaps shockingly(?) is Your Love is My Drug the third single from the debut album. The song is about Kesha's relationship with her ex-boyfriend and on the surface seems super positive, but deep down there is a darker undertone about becoming possessive and the chaotic effects of love. The song was a hit and has since grown to be one of her staples, receiving recent TikTok viral exposure. Billboard also named it in the top 100 bridges - they were spot on.
  8. Oh WOW!!!
  9. I choked up reading Madonna's post for him. Truly a huge loss for music.
  10. Absolutely devastated at this news. I immediately played Pure Shores and then bits of the Ray of Light album in his honour. For me he is the greatest music producer ever - he has soundtracked some of the best music ever made and is responsible for both a top 3 song of mine and top 5 album of mine (the two mentioned earlier). May he follow the sun now and rest in peace ❤️
  11. It's a shame it isn't getting NMF treatment but other recent remixes haven't either so it makes sense.
  12. Love the Kylie version 🥹
  13. EXCITED TO LISTEN!!
  14. Praying this isn't true!!!! :/
  15. Pop 2!!! The only one available for that had the strange new artwork so I kind of NEED that!
  16. Thank you Jseoph! I love it!
  17. Love that they have got CDs to preorder for this which should result in it charting again!? Says they will be shipped in September
  18. WE WON
  19. Jameela Jamil has spoken very openly about it following on from her battles with anorexia. She speaks a lot of sense on the topic: People are making vile tweets like "skipped breakfast today" and then sharing images from the video. It cannot be normalised!!
  20. Congrats nine¾ 😊
  21. Agreed! Loving that and Fragile the most but between the two, Bizarre is the bigger "hit".

    I quite like it! The production does take a hit and the original is still SOTY but it's a nice, fun accompaniment to that.
