okay yeah through everything for the first time and have absolutely no qualms about doing this

I legitimately don't understand why you'd think I'd like this. This is like, the exact opposite of what I look for in pop. It's really blocky and abraisive, all the tones seem to be fine-tuned to be as unpleasant as possible, there's no sense of atmosphere or emotional depth. Hell, there's barely ever even a real hook. And it just seems like a collage of random sounds the artists had in mind and just threw together and went with whatever trainwreck was the result. I don't even particularly care for her voice either, it's not bad but not for me. Even the lyrics on a few of these made me groan. This has more in common with rock than anything pop anyways but even then, it's not like the guitars on this sound good or provide any recent riffs or grooves. Just awkward, janked up non-melodies and rhythms. This is genuinely what I expected that Flaming Lips album you sent to sound like, and this album takes up almost exclusively after the one song on that album I genuinely hated, so I feel like you really should've known better but even if I gave this a dozen listens it'd still be the worst of the bunch here by a mile and there's no point prolonging this.

Rest of the round continues as normal, I'll have first impressions for the rest up in a few mins.
