Despite being scarcely better than standard pop, it's Metric by a 1.609 Kilometers.

yeah Mist was a good recco from earlier this year, thanks Skinny, and I like the collab here even if I've never been much of a fan of Jessie Ware, while with Metric I'm just a little confused why we're putting up so many songs in this tournament by bands that peaked in the 90s and 2000s. Song's okay but pretty fair-weather attempt at neon electro-pop.

This. Not mad for the other track but prefer it over what ostensibly boils down to modern synth pop-by-numbers.

Wow! This MIST album is incredible. Probably my favorite find yet in this tourney. The entire album is really solid.

And yeah. As the others said regarding that Metric single - sounds like a bland Disney band trying to cash in on MGMT's debut.

MIST easy. Highly recommend the entire album.

Gonna go with Mist by a bit here. Damn the album has an absolutely brutal 2.31 on RYM. The lowest-rated album I've ever been a fan of has a 2.41, so I have some hesitation about committing.

Hmmmmm...
Maybe I should start hanging out on RYM. They seem to be approaching at least this one more sensibly.

21 random fucks on RYM vs. Skinny. Yeah. I think I know whose side I'm on. lol

It's great grime. Very playful beats.

I think everybody needs to stop worrying about decimal scores, assessing personal enjoyment of music is not numerically quantifiable. Also while I find plenty of recs from RYM, Skinny has rarely failed with his recco's so I almost always go to him first (I like to know that we both share that special hatred of Camp)



.... (does that sound a bit like a valentine note? Sorry, not trying to be awkward here)

Are you calling Norman a random fuck? Lol

"Just OK" according to him.

In all seriousness, I might listen to it if there were more hours in the day, but here we are.
